As the “mainstream” Republican right lines up to denounce the Groypers, it’s worth remembering that all of them — Cruz, McConnell, Graham, every last one — were just as furious in their denunciations of Trump. Until suddenly they weren’t.

When Cardinal Wojtyla of Poland became Pope John Paul II in 1978, he very quickly became an alternative authority and voice for all Poles, and everyone else in Europe living under Soviet control.

Something to think about.

Always remember--this is not a case of Trump appeasing Putin--its actually him joining Putin. Its not Munich 1938, its the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939.

This of course means that the price of all citrus products, whether from Calif or somewhere else, will soon rise. Trumpflation is on its way before he even imposes a single tariff.
Well, this is one way to do a General Strike!

You can be the most incompetent, malignant, drunk white man and still get hired for one of the most important jobs in America. This is called "meritocracy."

I keep seeing all these posts about Carry-On, and all I can think is, don't call a movie that unless it's got an ensemble of B-list British comedic actors and lots of "rude" jokes.

An owl came down a family's chimney in Virginia and found the perfect spot on top of their Christmas tree.

Animal control came and released the wild barred owl outside.

There’s only one thing that might save Justin Trudeau now, and that’s if Donald Trump keeps insulting him.

It’s starting to become clear why Trump kept talking about Hannibal Lecter during the campaign.

Trump apparently plans to name Rubio as secretary of state. This is history repeating itself, the second time as farce.
