By now the only people who won’t admit that Donald Trump is bad at hiring people are blind, deaf, and unfortunately not dumb. They will loudly proclaim that Trump hires only the best people, even though Trump himself has an almost 100% record of attacking his hires at some point and calling them traitors. I take Donald Trump at his word: he sucks at hiring people. One example of Trump’s almost unerring ability to hire bad people we have the case of Christopher Wray, the current FBI Director. Trump picked Wray after he fired the execrable James Comey, who could...

The House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas to banks asking for the Biden family's financial records. Fox News has confirmed that the Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bank of America, Cathay Bank, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC USA N.A., as well as former Hunter Biden business associate Mervyn Yan asking for financial records. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, complained that Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., was trying to hide information regarding the investigation from Democrats on the committee. In a statement to Fox News, Comer said "Ranking Member Raskin has again disclosed Committee’s subpoenas in a cheap attempt to...

A Clinton Foundation grant went to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund — but the latter group had only an office address in Washington, D.C. So what happened to the money? Here’s a question for which Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, special counsel Robert Mueller, and former FBI Director James Comey may well know the answer to — but aren’t likely to want to talk about in public, under oath: Why did the Clinton Foundation send a $37 million grant for the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund in 2010 to a Baltimore post office box when the CBHF told federal tax authorities that...

Great video. Joseph Farah talks with Bill Cunningham about obama's lack of documentation. Video also contains a TV commercial for Jerome Corsi's new book, "Where's the Birth Certificate", to be released in May.

I have sent notice letters to 16 states informing them that they are in violation of the National Voting Rights Act. Private lawsuits may follow if they do not comply. As the saying goes: if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself. If Americans don’t want dead and ineligible felons participating in elections, they will have to clean up the mess themselves, as Attorney General Eric Holder won’t do his job by enforcing the integrity protections in the “Motor Voter” law passed in 1993. Motor Voter struck an important balance — it sought to increase...

This email came to me this morning from a friend of 30 years. He is a retired USAF bird colonel who has always told it like it is. A pilot (C-130s/141s), he spend the last years of his career investigating aircraft accidents. It's an area in which facts really do matter. I feel certain that his friend and author of this report is likely a straight-shooter as well. (I've redacted some personal names but will supply them if anyone wants them.) Very disturbing -- but not unexpected -- information. PS: WHY THE HELL ARE WE STILL SUPPORTING AND HOSTING THE...

"In the message played in court Tuesday, then-Senator Clinton said Hsu's hard work nearly left her speechless. 'I've never seen anybody who has been more loyal and more effective and really just having greater success supporting someone than you,' she told him. 'Everywhere I go, you're there. If you're not, you're sending people to be part of my events. You know, we're going to win this campaign, Norman, because you single-handedly are going to make that happen.'..." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/13/trial-prosecutors-play-tape-clinton-praising-hsu/

CABRINI-GREEN | Mom watches as gate crushes 3-year-old son At 3 years old, Curtis Cooper thought himself invincible. He'd fashion a towel into a cape, and called himself Super Curtis. But mom Pamela Cooper knew he wasn't invincible. So despite her family ribbing her about being overprotective, she never let the boy play outside without her. Until Friday, when she let her son ride his tricycle outside his Cabrini-Green row home alone, she said. As the 22-year-old mother watched from a window, a gate weighing hundreds of pounds broke from its hinge, fell atop the boy and killed him, Cooper's...

Sen Chris Dodd now admits that Countrywide Financial gave him VIP status to refinance home mortgage loans at a special preferential rate - but he just "assumed" that it was "a courtesy thing." Sen Kent Conrad (D-ND) says his "conscience is absolutely clear" about the special deal he got - after a personal conversation with CEO, Angelo Mozilo. That's because whenever the senator negotiates a personal mortgage, "I talked with the No. 1 or 2 person" at the company. Just like all other borrowers, right? Well, maybe - if the borrower sat on the Senate Banking Committee (Dodd), which oversees...

Pa. senator indicted on 139 counts By MARYCLAIRE DALE, Associated Press Writer 14 minutes ago State Sen. Vincent J. Fumo, one of the most powerful figures in Pennsylvania politics, was indicted Tuesday on 139 counts, including federal charges of mail fraud, wire fraud and use of Senate employees as campaign aides. Many of the charges stem from Fumo's ties to a nonprofit agency in his South Philadelphia district. Authorities had been investigating the Citizens' Alliance for Better Neighborhoods for more than four years. The group was started by Fumo aides in 1991 to serve the neighborhood where he grew up....
