Hillary skates again

Well, Justice Thomas already warned us that the Rule of Law no longer applies to the United States of America: FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday announced the agency is not recommending the Justice Department bring charges against Hillary Clinton, while also denouncing the former secretary of state and her aides for the way they […]

The Indiana KO

The Indiana primary should be enough to put an end to Cruz’s campaign, but we’ll have to wait and see if he comes to his senses yet. The shrieking, crying, and dire predictions from the conservative media bodes well for Trump. UPDATE: “TRUMP WINS INDIANA IN LANDSLIDE…” 54% Trump 34% Cruz 09% Kasich That will […]
