The liberal ladies at The View invited former Obama senior campaign advisor David Axelrod on the show Thursday, apparently just to bash Trump for how horrible his first 100 days in office have been. Axelrod, who now works as a senior political commentator for CNN, was warmly welcomed by the panel who gushed just a month ago that his former boss was their “favorite president.”The hosts discussed just about every current fixation the media has with the Trump White House from Russia to wiretapping to Nunes.Introducing Axelrod, host Whoopi Goldberg lamented, “Boy, do we miss him! And boy would he have...

After removing Katie Walsh from the White House staff, President Trump now moves to confront the #NeverTrump coalition in congress, Hillary’s Favorite Caucus, read on. More than half of the remaining members of the House Freedom Caucus are still #NeverTrump, entrenched and intransigent Pro-Ted Cruz ideologues. They oppose Trump and have never moved beyond losing in the primary. They are still fighting the 2016 primary race they lost.

European Union Chief Jean-Claude Juncker is apparently not thrilled with Trump's support of the Brexit referendum and, in speaking at the centre-right European People Party’s (EPP) annual conference today, has vowed to "promote the independence of Ohio and Austin, Texas in the United States of America" if he "goes on like that." "A lot of people would like it that way. Even people on another continent where the newly elected U.S. President was happy that the Brexit was taking place and has asked other countries to do the same. And, if he goes on like that, I am going to...

WASHINGTON—Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, has told the Federal Bureau of Investigation and congressional officials investigating the Trump campaign’s potential ties to Russia that he is willing to be interviewed in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution, according to officials with knowledge of the matter. As an adviser to Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign, and later one of Mr. Trump’s top aides in the White House, Mr. Flynn was privy to some of the most sensitive foreign-policy deliberations of the new administration and was directly involved in discussions about the possible lifting of sanctions on...

Sen. Jeff Merkely says a decision to use the 'Nuclear Option' to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court would "destroy the integrity of the Senate" and "highly politicize the [Supreme] court." "If this process goes through, every 5-4 decision will be one we will look at and say that it is not really legitimate, because that Supreme Court Justice wasn't really legitimate," he said. "If we change it to a simple majority, that means the next president will have an easier time approving appointments, and might decide to go further to the left or right outside of the mainstream....

President Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has reportedly told the FBI that he is willing to testify about the Trump campaign's potential ties to Russia, in exchange for immunity from prosecution, according to a Wall Street Journal report. ADVERTISEMENT Flynn resigned in February, after it was reported that he misled White House staff on his interactions with Russia and had discussed sanctions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak ahead of President Trump's inauguration. The Journal reported, citing officials familiar with the matter, that the FBI and the House and Senate Intelligence committees that are investigating Russia's attempts to interfere...

Senate Republicans, aided by Vice President Mike Pence and an ailing Georgia colleague who hobbled into the Senate chamber on a walker, voted Thursday to proceed with a measure to undo an Obama administration rule preventing states from blocking funding for family planning clinics that also provide abortions. The vote was one of a string of showdowns to reverse Obama-era regulations, but this one unfolded with all the drama of numerous past conflicts over abortion funding — with Pence casting the deciding vote in his role as president of the Senate....

Senators Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp have become the first two Democrats to publicly say they will vote to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Both senators––one from West Virginia and one from North Dakota––released statements on Twitter this afternoon:

Neil Gorsuch has repeatedly ruled against students with disabilities and endorsed the lowest of educational standards for them. The U.S. Supreme Court nominee even created his own standard in order to do so, although he won’t acknowledge it’s his own invention. According to his rulings in cases concerning the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), it’s OK for these students to have an education that is “merely more than de minimis”: too trivial or minor to merit consideration.If I could ask him a question, it would be this: How can you possibly endorse anything less than an education that opens up...

So, I don't agree with Mark Levin all the time? So what! I care more about my agreements with him than my disagreements with him. Mature people don't agree with each other 100% of time. You know that, don't you? He's a true conservative and more importantly, a true American, and therefore a true patriot. Some of you are upset because Mark is not a Trump cultist and at times disagrees with him. Well, that's the sign of a patriot. Patriots are not cultists for anyone. By the way, Mark supported Trump in the election. Do you remember that? You...

As recently as this morning it seemed impossible, but the Twin Peaks legal fiasco got even more ridiculous this afternoon. McLennan County, Texas District Attorney Abelino Reyna, who is gratuitously prosecuting 192 people who were at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco on May 17, 2015, filed a ridiculous “disclosure” in the 19th Judicial District today, “in the spirit of Brady, the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure 39.14 (the Michael Morton Act), our ethical obligations under Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, and our duty to ‘see that justice is done.’ The document is titled “State’s Disclosure of the Existence...

Democrats Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp both say they will vote for Gorsuch.

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter is set to appear at UC Berkeley on April 27 as part of a series of talks on immigration, just three months after a campus visit by disgraced Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos was cancelled amid fiery, violent protests. Berkeley College Republicans, one of the campus groups behind the speaking engagement, confirmed the visit to NBC Bay Area on Tuesday. "The Berkeley College Republicans have invited Ms. Coulter to speak at UC Berkeley because she has been one of the most vocal critics of illegal immigration in all its manifestations and was one of the earliest supporters...

The greatest moral argument for the free market is the freedom of individuals pursuing their hopes and dreams without government coercion or interference. Freedom is America’s greatest virtue and moral value. Freedom is a God-given right to every man and the inherent desire to be free from government oppression and coercion is so strong in man, he will die to get it and die to defend it. Many have died in the defense of American freedom and many have died trying to escape tyranny to reach a free America. Defending freedom in peacetime has proven to be more difficult than...

The BBC has learned that US officials "verified" a key claim in a report about Kremlin involvement in Donald Trump's election - that a Russian diplomat in Washington was in fact a spy. So far, no single piece of evidence has been made public proving that the Trump campaign joined with Russia to steal the US presidency - nothing. But the FBI Director, James Comey, told a hushed committee room in Congress last week that this is precisely what his agents are investigating. Stop to let that thought reverberate for a moment. "Investigation is not proof," said the president's spokesman....
