Former President Donald Trump, in an announcement made through the Save America PAC Friday, gave Sen. Marco Rubio his endorsement for the Florida Republican's 2022 Senate bid for reelection.

Afghan president's confirmation comes as Taliban launches deadly attacks in centre of capital, Kabul. The president of Afghansitan has said his government and the US are negotiating with Taliban fighters to bring peace to the country. While officials at the US embassy in Kabul could not be immediately reached for comment, Hamid Karzai's remarks were the first official confirmation of US involvement in the negotiations. "Peace talks have started with [the Taliban] already and it is going well," Karzai said on Saturday in Kabul. "Foreign militaries, especially the United States of America, are going ahead with these negotiations.'' Diplomats have...

As one of his supporters, actor Robert Duvall, might say: Rudy played this one beautifully. Last week, all Republican politicians worth their weight came out blasting MoveOn.org for taking out a full-page ad in the New York Times smearing Gen. David Petraeus on the day he was scheduled to deliver his Iraq progress report to Congress.

But while other...

I must say that I sympathize with the bind that Democratic leaders are in somewhat. Defeatism is forced upon them by their base. That's why they have no choice but but to insist that Iraq is going disastrously badly, that it was all a mistake, and that we should get out now. Where they have no choice but to acknowledge that progress has been made, they must insist at all costs that President Bush's policies have had nothing to do with it. It is a matter of political reality. Their base will throw them back into the minority if they...

If these men, like the Pendleton 8 before them, become sacrificial lambs, it will be Taps for the US Marine Corps, having turned it's back on that which it depends for it's existence; 16 of it's riflemen who answered their country's call and survived, only to be devoured by the very legal system they fought to protect.

Earlier this morning John Gambling had Chris Wallace on his WABC radio show. Wallace is on every Friday morning so he can plug his weekend show. I don't know much about this show since I stopped watching when Tony Snow left and Wallace took over. But what I do know that This weeks plug showed Chris to be either stupid or lazy. I can't decide. Wallace said that the president was in trouble because "the AP poll shows him at his lowest point so far" or something to that effect. Then he pointed out that the Democrats are leading Republicans...
