You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

My first instinct when we learned who the shooter was and who he'd supported for operations in Afghanistan was to simply view him as a veteran likely suffering from PTSD. If you know what some of them did with numbered task forces & the KPF, you'd have few doubts.<

Suspect in National Guard shooting served alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan, relative says
The Afghan man, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, came to the U.S. in September 2021. “I cannot believe it that he might do this,” a relative told NBC News.
