“Backbencher in the Trump Administration, Alyssa Farah, like so many other sleazebags, had only glowing reviews of the Trump Administration until long after she left,” Trump posted. Trump launched his attack on Griffin on Truth Social Saturday night. “A loser then, and a loser now! he added.

Critics bashed an online profile Friday of the wife of expected presidential contender and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling the piece misogynistic and vicious. The Politico article, “The Casey DeSantis Problem: ‘His Greatest Asset and His Greatest Liability,” quoted anonymous former DeSantis staffers, alleged insiders and Democratic strategists who accused the first lady of Florida of being “blindly ambitious” in an effort to help her husband become the next US president. SNIP The story labeled the 42-year-old former Jacksonville TV anchor, breast-cancer survivor and mom of three “paranoid” and “vindictive” while quoting a male DeSantis supporter who said she needed...

As has been long predicted, the first of many hit pieces on Casey DeSantis, the wife of Ron DeSantis, has dropped. Politico did the honors on Friday, attacking the recent cancer survivor as too involved in her husband’s life, citing numerous anonymous sources and some non-anonymous ones who really should have been. The big bombshell in the story can be summarized as follows: Ron and Casey DeSantis have a good marriage, and they also support each other in their endeavors. I know, it’s shocking stuff, but Politico did its level best to try to turn Casey DeSantis into an ominous...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has sent the internet into a frenzy once again with his bizarre laugh that has been widely mocked online. It left many in stitches and lots were quick to crack jokes about the footage which showed Ron DeSantis cackling with his mouth wide open. But it left others questioning whether he was actually a robot masquerading as a human as they claimed the clip 'will haunt your nightmares'. A Twitter user joked that he was not human like DeSantis and could relate to the awkward moment and wrote: 'Me when I experience human emotion laughter.' And...

“Congratulations to a ‘star’ in Kentucky, Danial Cameron, who easily won the Republican Nomination for Governor. He had my Complete and Total Endorsement. The DeSanctimonious backed candidate came in a DISTANT third,” Trump said the morning after Election Day. “Ron’s magic is GONE! He also lost, shockingly, in Jacksonville last night (Mayor),” he added

Character still matters in presidents and presidential candidates, Russell Moore said on NBC’s Meet the Press May 14. And the way evangelicals and other Republicans have glossed over the guilty verdict against Donald Trump in the abuse and defamation case won by E. Jean Carroll sends the wrong message to young people in churches today, the editor in chief of Christianity Today added.

Governor DeSantis said the Republican Party “needs to shake a culture of losing that has developed in recent years,” because in “in times like these, there is no substitute for victory.” “As I look ahead to 2024, I believe if the Democrats are able to sweep the offices again… they will pack the U.S. Supreme Court, abolish the Electoral College and make Washington, D.C. a state and eliminate voter ID in every jurisdiction,” he said. DeSantis said his reelection win in 2022 showed that voters supported his leadership during the pandemic. Leadership “is about delivering results,” he said, adding that...

No longer constrained by campaign advisers who insisted on such conventions as “message discipline,” Gingrich fulminated against President Obama, the news media, activist judges and assorted other liberal bogeymen for 41 minutes here Thursday night. It was classic Newt – slashing attacks, an array of ideas, and a few plugs for his website. All jumbled together with little cohesion. The former speaker, it seems, is very much enjoying the post-consultant phase of his candidacy. Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/57183.html#ixzz1PVO4yauY

Don't let it be misunderstood. Those who serve in our nation's military espouse values that confuse the left, confound their purpose, and leave them unable to understand, much less resonate with our service men and women. This week I saw why.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday he might run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 _ unless some candidates promote his ideas. "There are circumstances where I will run," Gingrich told a news conference before a speech at the University of Mobile. Earlier this year, in an interview with The Associated Press, Gingrich said, "Anything seems possible." Asked under what circumstances he would enter the race, Gingrich, 62, said he plans to continue traveling the United States talking about the issues. "My hope is that five or six candidates are going to jump up, steal all of my...

THIS BRAIN IS NOT THAT BAD Thanks to reader "primer" I've been directed to the University of Miami Ethics program website where they posted this image from a CT scan of Terri Schiavo's brain in 1996.

If you go to this link you can see the scan in a larger reproduction. A COURT OF MEDICAL LIGHTWEIGHTS WEIGH IN ON TERRI'S CT. The Second District's first opinion in this case explained: Since 1990, Theresa...

Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden has faced criticism for what he has said or for his decisions during football games. He now is in hot water over something he has written. Last month, Bowden wrote a letter of reference for former FSU running back Michael Gibson, who received six life sentences in 1994 for his attack on a woman in late 1993. The woman was raped, robbed, shot and left for dead in her apartment.... Gibson received six life sentences: four for rape, one for armed burglary and one for attempted felony murder. But the Florida Supreme Court recently ruled...

<p>Gloria Allred, California’s most high-profile defender of women’s rights, is demanding that Arnold Schwarzenegger answer the “very serious questions” raised by his lurid 1977 boasting that he participated in a gang bang at Gold’s Gym in Venice. In an interview with the L.A. Weekly, the Los Angeles lawyer and feminist who is founder and president of the Women’s Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund added her outrage to what inexplicably has yet to become a real controversy over the candidate’s sexual history and attitudes.</p>

<p>When California lawmakers voted in 1999 to approve legislation giving state employees more generous retirement benefits and opening the door to a round of big increases in local government pensions, only a handful of legislators opposed the bill. One of them was then-Assemblyman Tom McClintock.</p>

President George W. Bush President George W. Bush's top three priorities in 2002 -- national security, homeland security, and economic security -- earned him high approval ratings across the nation and a victory in Yahoo!'s first annual Person of the Year, a year-end poll to name the noisemaker and/or newsmaker of 2002. After guiding the U.S. through the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, Bush has become a powerful leader in the global war on terrorism and one of the most popular presidents in U.S. history. In a time of grave uncertainties at home and abroad,...
