When the afternoon of January 20, 2017 arrives, the republican party will have: 1) The Presidency. 2) A majority of the House of Representatives. 3) A majority of the Senate. 4) Almost two-thirds of all the governships. 5) Total control of the statehouses in almost two-thirds of all the states. And it is highly likely that within the near future, we will be able to add: 6) The Supreme Court. The above has never happened before in American history. Really think about that and let it sink in a while. And it's pretty much all because of one reason: Barack...

Goodbye, Rubio. Still we’re not going to miss you. Marco Rubio had the hype, the hope and the backing of the GOP establishment, but there was always something missing — voters. Now it looks like Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is the party’s only real hope to stop Donald Trump. Not the establishment’s first, second or third choice, but they have to get behind him if they want to stop Trump. With Trump’s wins in Florida, North Carolina and Illinois, he’s all but sure to finish the primary process with the most delegates — and close to enough to clinch...

An explosion has hit a bus carrying presidential guards in Tunisia's capital, Tunis, officials say. At least 12 people have been killed in the blast, the interior ministry said. The explosion, during rush hour in the city's main avenue, was an attack, a presidential source said. Tunisia has been targeted by the Islamic State group, including an attack by a gunman on the beach resort of Sousse in June, killing 38 people, mostly foreign tourists.

France and Russia bombed Islamic State targets in Syria on Tuesday, punishing the group for attacks in Paris and against a Russian airliner that together killed 353 people, and made the first tentative steps toward a possible military alliance. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a coordinated onslaught in Paris on Friday and the downing of a Russian charter jet over Sinai on Oct. 31, saying they were in retaliation for French and Russian air raids in Iraq and Syria. Still reeling from the Paris carnage that killed 129 people, France formally requested European Union assistance in its battle and...

To Congress and prosecutors in the American states, We now know that at least one of the five members of the Taliban that president Obama recently swapped in exchange for deserting U.S. soldier Bowe Berghdal has already attempted to reconnect with his terrorist friends in the Taliban. Others who have been released from Guantanamo Bay in the past have done the same thing and returned to their previous terrorist activities. These men are considered heroes and revered by members of the Taliban, ISIS, and Al Qaeda. It is abundantly clear that this president fully intends to fulfill his pledge to...

Richard Duncan, formerly of the World Bank and chief economist at Blackhorse Asset Mgmt., says America's $16 trillion federal debt has escalated into a "death spiral, "as he told CNBC. And it could result in a depression so severe that he doesn't "think our civilization could survive it." And Duncan is not alone in warning that the U.S. economy may go into a "death spiral." Since the recession, noted economists including Laurence Kotlikoff, a former member of President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, have come to similar conclusions. Kotlikoff estimates the true fiscal gap is $211 trillion when unfunded entitlements...

DALLAS -- Albert Pujols has agreed to a 10-year, $250 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Thursday. The deal includes a full no-trade clause, which Pujols had been seeking and may have been a sticking point in his negotiations with the Miami Marlins.

Yet unlike Jerry Sandusky, Jon Corzine will never be held accountable for his misdeeds. Jon Corzine is above the law. For those horrified at the comparison between these two vile men, it is not offered lightly. Most people of all political stripes agree that Jerry Sandusky should burn in a fiery pit of hell. Even people who are against torture would consider making him an exception. The former Penn State football coach sexually violated underage boys. The word "evil" is tossed around cavalierly, but Sandusky's actions fit the bill.

Germany saw one of its poorest debt sales on Wednesday in what was seen as a failed auction by many market participants amid fears the eurozone’s debt crisis is spreading all the way to Berlin. Marc Ostwald, at Monument, said “I cannot recall a worse auction ... If Germany can only manage this sort of participation, what hope for the rest. Yields are at completely the wrong level.” Mr Oswald said the bid-to-cover ratio was only 0.65 times as the German debt agency sold just €3.644bn of its new 10-year Bund of the €6bn targeted. The Bundesbank retained a massive...

If you have followed the sensational journalistic work of Sara Ganim regarding the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case, you realize we have no reason to trust the people of Pennsylvania to properly investigate the possible cover-up that allowed Sandusky to allegedly prey on kids for nearly two decades.
