One wonders how close to the fine line of treason the mainstream media folks like Lester Holt are truly dancing along when it comes to how they report I don’t normally watch the alphabet networks or liberal left media outlets. While up north in Oregon, however, a person I am visiting is fond of NBC.

In the Twin Cities metro area that number was 181,000 with scores of repeat offenders. Volpe reported that...

But to those same county and state officials, it isn't that simple at...

Morales, 46, pleaded innocent in April to charges that he and Marc Murr, a friend and an attorney, tried to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees for Murr resulting from the state's $17.3 billion settlement with the tobacco industry in 1998. At that court hearing, Morales sought a public defender to represent him,...
