I obviously disagree with this verdict as do many others. I believe that the case will be reversed eventually either in the state or federal systems. However, this was the worst expectation for a trial in Manhattan. I am saddened by the result more for the New York legal system

With this pardon, Joe Biden shredded any residue of veracity and credibility as president. For years, he was repeatedly asked if he met any of his son's clients. He lied and denied it. He was repeatedly asked if he was aware of Hunter's foreign dealings. He repeatedly lied and

Jim Acosta's interruption of Dr. Birx is an example of how CNN's echo-journalism model is destroying the media's credibility. Every question from Acosta is an effort to score points rather than elicit information. It is a press pandemic that continues to rage without relief.

CNN is running a headline that Trump "now" claims Easter was aspirational. I have criticized Trump statements but he never said Easter was a firm deadline as opposed to his hope. The unrelentingly negative spin on stories makes it difficult for viewers to trust the media.

Pelosi's act dishonored the institution and destroyed even the pretense of civility and decorum in the House. If this is the Speaker's "drop the mike" moment, it is a disgrace that should never be celebrated or repeated. In a single act, she obliterated decades of tradition.

Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) just criticized the pardons on CNN by saying "He has unfortunately pardoned police killers. Five police officers died that day." It is a claim made by other senators. Only one person died that day: protester Ashli Babbitt

Project Veritas may have just sealed the fate of David Hogg with the DNC, if the new videotape is verified. With the vote scheduled for June, Hogg allegedly stated that Jill Biden's Chief of Staff Anthony Bernal effectively ran the White House...

Green was censured, but only 9 Democrats joined in the motion. The Democrats then refused to clear the well and disrupted Speaker Johnson's efforts to complete the censure process. The sound you heard was the Democratic party hitting rock bottom in this disgraceful display...

As a military history nut, I am totally geeking out on the Army parade. They are showing the uniforms and equipment of every period from the original jeep to Huey helicopters.

I am a bit confused. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy just bragged that he has an undocumented person living above his garage, adding "good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.” How exactly is that good for this person to be staked out like political game to make a point?...
