Jeff Flake’s exit, stage right, includes shocking self-reflection

Sen. Jeff Flake, as everybody with even one eye on the political world knows, is leaving his seat at the end of his term, refusing to run for re-election. Why? 'Cause he can't win, that's why. But Flake's got a different view of that. And it's one that's firmly rooted in the world of delusion. Published November 7, 2017

Muslims to soon beat out Jews in U.S. population

There are about 3.35 million Muslims in the United States right now, according to recent Pew Research Center's Factank figures. But by 2050, that particular population is projected to grow -- from about 1 percent of the U.S. population to about 2.1 percent. If it does, that means America will be home to more Muslims than Jews. Just something to think about, post New York City terror attack -- a terror attack that we now know was committed by a radicalized Muslim who professed allegiance to ISIS. Published November 1, 2017

Vladimir Putin would’ve picked Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, for president

Honestly, if Vladimir Putin were given the pick, who do you think he would've wanted in the White House in the first place, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?

Hillary Clinton, breathing easy now, hints at Trump impeachment

Hillary Clinton may not be running for any particular political seat right now, but she sure does know how to sling a political punch -- and boy, is she taking advantage of this Paul Manafort indictment thing.
