Even as violent crime and deadly shootings in New York soar, Mayor Bill de Blasio has reportedly assigned no less than 27 cops working in shifts to protect a Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower. Even before the recent riots, major crime in New York City had soared by 22 per cent thanks to bail reforms that allowed suspects to avoid jail and re-offend. Last month, it was reported that there had been 38 murders over the last 28 days up until June 14, twice as many as the previous year. On Monday alone, 18 people were shot in...

Tim Kaine, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, says the primary victory by Sen. Michael Bennet in Colorado shows the party still has “a lot of mojo.” And Kaine crowed that the GOP added to a crop of “flawed candidates” with Tuesday’s results. “In a whole series of these races in different states,” the former Virginia governor said Wednesday in a phone interview, “what we see is Democrats picking good candidates, Democrats coming together and Republicans picking flawed candidates and, frankly, candidates that are kind of continuing to divide their party.” The president’s political organization — including the DNC’s Organizing...

HONOLULU (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday it appeared the man suspected of trying to bomb a Detroit-bound plane on Christmas was a member of al Qaeda and had been trained and equipped by the Islamic militant network.

Obama, who is on vacation in Hawaii, had called for an immediate study of what he termed "human and systemic...

From USNews.Com's Washington Whispers: Hillary's in… You don't have to take it from us about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's desire to run for president.

We have received the following letter from a Mr. Katz, a graduate of Bard College, Class of 1971: Matt May, in his recent article, erroneously states that Cornelius "Chevy"Chase, is a graduate of Bard College. This error may be due to Chase himself falsely claiming to having graduated from Bard. The ONLY degree that Chase has ever received from Bard, is an honorary degree, reputedly after donating a large sum of money to the college. I challenge Chase to offer documentation to refute this statement of fact. Chase, who called President Bush "a dumb [obscenity]" is remined that the object...

The only thing anyone can learn by being in close proximity to Bill Clinton is how to lie your ass off, and Gore has been not only an apt, but also an eager pupil. As Vice President, he began patterning himself after Bill Clinton, America's world class perjurer. Before scheduling outdoor speeches, Bubba and Al had to determine whose turn it is to wear the lightening rod. Recently, Al went on record saying, "I didn't know that thing at the Buddhist temple was a fundraiser, I thought it was a Manchurian bar mitzvah." Since uttering that barefaced fabrication, people...
