WASHINGTON — James Comey, the FBI director who was fired last year by President Trump, is urging voters to support Democrats in November's midterm elections. Comey says on Twitter that the "Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders' design that 'Ambition must ... counteract ambition.'" That refers to the need for Congress to provide checks and balances to presidential power. Comey writes: "All who believe in this country's values must vote for Democrats this fall. ... History has its eyes on us." The former FBI director recently said he no longer considers himself a Republican.

She was known about long before today's indebtment As the Legislature convenes one more time to deal with Governor Dennis DaugaardÂ’s veto of two of their gun bills, an eager reader gets me reading about the National Rifle AssociationÂ’s Russia connection, which will lead us to Donald Trump, Sibby, and Mathew Wollmann.

Funny how the British and liberals in general are concerned about Trump's "breach of protocol" and show little or no respect to the President of the United States nor to his aides. The protests in restaurants and at the homes of aides needs to be brought to an abrupt halt. The whole world knows that the disrespectful treatment of the President and his aides has been wrong. Strzok and his ilk know they're wrong and must be punished for direct attempts to overthrow rightful election results and must be put in prison. ALL of this poor behavior needs to be...

Former Secretary of State John Kerry unloaded on President Trump Wednesday; blasting the Commander-in-Chief’s “disgraceful” call for NATO members to pay their fair share when it comes to defense spending. The senior Obama official called Trump’s rhetoric “destructive” despite the NATO Secretary General praising the President’s “leadership” and pledging to pay more towards the mutual defense budget. “It was disgraceful, destructive, and flies in the face of the actual interests of the United States of America,” Kerry said in a statement, claiming Trump “set America back this morning.”

The NFL Players Association announced it has filed a grievance challenging the league's new national anthem policy. In May, NFL owners unanimously approved a new anthem policy that requires players to stand if they are on the field during the performance of the Star-Spangled Banner. The new policy gives players the option to remain in the locker room, if they want. The NFL subjects the teams to a fine, if a player or a member of team personnel does not show respect for the anthem. Players have been kneeling, sitting and raising fists during the national anthem in an effort...

VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria’s right-wing government plans to shut seven mosques and could expel dozens of imams in what it said was “just the beginning” of a push against radical Islam and foreign funding of religious groups that Turkey condemned as racist. The coalition government, an alliance of conservatives and the far right, came to power soon after Europe’s migration crisis on promises to prevent another influx and restrict benefits for new immigrants and refugees. The moves follow a “law on Islam”, passed in 2015, which banned foreign funding of religious groups and created a duty for Muslim organizations to...

n Iranian general claimed Israel is stealing rain clouds from Iran to lengthen Iran’s drought. That sounds humorous, but he actually said that! Iran’s Hatred for Israel Iran hates Israel. They are not quiet about it, and the entire world is well aware. They threaten the Jewish state constantly, and they fund other terrorist regimes who target Israel as well. Iran wants to obliterate the tiny country. The Iranian president Hassan Rouhani has blamed the West for Iran’s deteriorating economy. It is absurd that they cannot take responsibility for their own actions. Iran seems to always blame other countries for...

Seconds after it was revealed that Donald Trump had selected Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his Supreme Court choice, MSNBC on Monday night immediately freaked out and deemed him an extreme“right-wing” “conservative.” Liberal MSNBC host Chris Hayes anchored the conversation just prior to Trump’s live announcement.

He has moved in conservative, right-wing legal circles for the entirety of his career.” A few seconds later, Hayes again warned that Kavanaugh “spent his life in conservative, right-wing legal circles.” MSNBC brought on Jess McIntosh of the liberal ShareBlue organization....
