There has been a lot of misinformation about both getting out of the so-called Iran deal and getting into a new North Korean agreement. The two situations may be connected, but not in the way we are usually told.
Last week, a House Ways and Means subcommittee heard testimony from the Social Security Administration acting commissioner about the widespread and ongoing theft of Social Security numbers (SSNs)from the American public. Despite its pervasiveness, the illegal alien side of the problem is rarely raised by the media or in Congress. Illegal immigration in general wasn’t mentioned at all during the May 17 hearing. And when the media does cover it, it’s commonly used as a rallying cry to support mass amnesty — the claim being that “illegal aliens pay into the system” and, therefore, “are as American as you and me.”
Despite liberal hysterics, Republicans’ recent tax cut raised top earners’ share of America’s tax burden. This seemingly “squared circle” is simply due to a fact true before the legislation and even truer after: Middle- and upper-income earners shoulder the overwhelming tax load. Equally obvious: Even so large a share is not enough for an insatiable left.
In Russia’s long-term war against the West that includes the infiltration of domestic political systems, blackmail and the indirect influence of elected officials through “ethnic political organizations,” one of its most prized and enduring tactics is its exploitation of ethnoreligious rivalries and fissures within the states along its borders.
Last month’s arrest of two black men at a Philadelphia Starbucks has amplified accusations of a double standard in American society. Along with a financial settlement with the men, Starbucks responded by promising to close its stores for part of May 29 in order to conduct racial-bias training for store employees.
You might have missed it amid the never-ending drama in Washington, D.C., but a war over energy production and rates rages in America’s heartland.
I am a cat person. Nothing against dogs or dog people. I like dogs, too. Growing up, my family always had both. But no one falls equally into both categories; everyone has a preference.
Hillary Clinton told the Democratic Women’s Leadership Forum on Friday that she would be a foundational part of the anti-Trump “resistance.” No, she didn’t ask whether anyone wanted her to be.
Satchel Paige, the legendary master of the sinking curve ball and famous doctor of philosophy, had a few wise words that Robert Mueller could use just now: “Don’t look back, something might be gaining on you.”
Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner, has sparked some players' union backlash by announcing those who want to bend knees during this season's game-time playing of the national anthem may do so -- but from the locker room, not the field. But really, Goodell got it right. Finally.
President Donald Trump, speaking to Fox News' "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade in an exclusive interview, vowed border-related bills weaving through Congress that don't include provisions to fund and build a "real wall" won't meet with his approval, and ultimately, won't pass his White House desk. Take a memo, Democrats and soft-on-border-control Republicans.
They were never able to make any arrests. They were never able to stop a single hack of an email account. They were unable to prevent any Russian bots or online advertising efforts. They failed, at every turn.
Tuesday, we broke down how based on publicly disclosed information, it is a logical and reasonable conclusion that politics played a major role in the origins of the FBI's counterintelligence operation involving the Trump campaign and alleged connections with the Russian government.
Human nature being what it is, it should come as no shock that the next level of approved gambling in America is sports betting. States already have casinos, the lottery and other ways of separating money from the weak for their ravenous and bottomless coffers, so why not allow betting on sports contests?
It's not easy being a royal bride in Old Blighty. Even keeping up with what to call everybody, and whom to curtsy to, and whom to expect a curtsy from, requires an immersion course in protocol. We can't even call Meghan Markle by her real name.
Political commentator and fake Republican strategist Ana Navarro not only once called President Trump a "man-baby," but in 2016 she tweeted: "Should Donald Trump drop out of the race? Yes. He should drop out of the human race. He is an animal. Apologies to animals."
I don't know if I'm sad or angry. Some 20 to 40 years ago when our president ordered the American flag to half-mast, almost all flags were lowered in order to honor those the president was trying to honor. Today we are lucky if half the flags are lowered.
The Democrats and their allied pundits are licking their chops at the prospect of supping on soup of bones from the collapse of the Singapore summit between President Trump and Kim Jong-un. Mr. Trump now rates the prospect of the summit even happening as no better than a toss of a coin.
Yascha Mounk is a good writer and a bright Harvard University political scientist. While this sounds impressive, one should bear in mind that politics is not really a science. Instead, it is a bubbling cauldron of individual and group prejudices, loyalties, traditions, sentiments, interests and cultural forces that defies a purely scientific analysis.
Former US Attorney Joe diGenova says there is "probable cause to arrest" former FBI Director James Comey for his role in the Spygate scandal.
Sometimes, nothing reveals less about NBA teams than the result from their previous playoff game.
Former Attorney General Eric Holder publicly urged his former employees at the Justice Department to defy President Trump's request for transparency and public disclosures of information related to the unprecedented spy operation launched in 2016 against the Trump campaign.
