Ocasio-Cortez and Newsom: Stupid-East Meets Stupid-West

A Few ObamaCare Questions for the President

Putin Helps Assad Clean Out His Garage

Not only does it appear as though Putin is "bailing out" Obama in this whole Syrian mess, but he may be doing Assad a huge favor as well (no, not by saving him from an "unbelievably small" assault) by brokering the hand-over of Syria's chemical weapo...

Kerry Threatens Assad with 'Nanoassault'

Trayvon Could Have Been Me Too, Mr. President
