John Fetterman, Democrat senate candidate in Pennsylvania, had a stroke and can barely speak. This is his first public speech in months. He talked for just a few minutes. There’s no way this guy has the physical ability to be a senator. Scary: pic.twitter.com/ExUkkrzKH0— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) August 15, 2022

I assume that if there are comments some of them will be accusing me of trolling or being a liberal, but I am an attorney and I am just considering the facts. The decision does not mean that the Roberts is now a liberal, although standing up for Roberts in this instance in this form is likely to earn me hateful comment The dispute before the Court is not whether DHS may rescind DACA. All parties agree that it may. The dispute is instead primarily about the procedure the agency followed in doing so. The DACA Obama policy had two...

Romney's latest FB post... "No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes."

Planned Parenthood’s best friends in Congress are rushing to the defense of the abortion business today after a shocking expose’ video caught its top doctor discussing how the abortion company is involved in the sale of body parts from babies victimized by abortions. New undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted unborn children and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts. In the video, Nucatola is at a business lunch with actors posing as buyers from a human...

President Peres reportedly plans to tell Arab leaders that most Israelis favor a return to 1949-1967 borders. President Shimon Peres plans to tell Arab leaders that the overwhelming majority of Israeli citizens favor a return to the 1949-1967 borders, according to Maariv reporter Shalom Yerushalmi. Peres is planning to speak Sunday evening at a WEF economic conference in Jordan.

Mideast: With a snap of his fingers, President Obama has decided that Israel should return to its 1967 borders. For all practical purposes, he might as well say the Jewish state should cease to exist. It seems so easy, like "get the U.S. out of Vietnam" — or Iraq, or Afghanistan. In his big Middle East speech on Thursday, in which he called for "a viable Palestine, a secure Israel," the president declared that "the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually-agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized

Here is video of CNN's Paul Begala and Anderson Cooper discussing the news that Democrat U.S. Senate Candidate Richard Blumenthal has repeatedly lied about having served in the military "in Vietnam." Begala said it is "indefensible" if in fact - as it appears to be - that he never served in Vietnam. BEGALA: "There is no good or ethical reason that he could have done that, Anderson. Uh, the guy ought to have a chance to respond. I saw the Times story as well. . . . You read those four words - 'I served in Vietnam.' That appears to...

So now the geniuses who run the BCS have decided that the answer to their problems is better spinning. A story in yesterday's Sports Business Journal reports that the BCS is considering hiring someone whose job would be to defend the BCS against people like me--and many, many others--who think it is a complete and utter shame. In fact, John Marinatto, the new commissioner of The Big East, who as of now would be in charge of the BCS next year--the ACC's John Swofford is doing it right now--is quoted as saying that the BCS commissioners believe they have not...

Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.), an often contrarian member of the Congressional Black Caucus, on Sunday called proposed penalties against small business that do not provide their workers health insurance, "indefensible." The congressman addressed insurance mandates that would levy fines against small businesses of 25 or more employees that do not provide health insurance or would require a business to offer health coverage based on the size of its payroll. "Frankly, the House leadership seems wedded to keeping that in," Davis told the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser. "And the more you look at it, the more indefensible that is."

Some scholars squabble about the particulars, but there is no question that democracy's roots go back at least 2,500 years to practices developed in the Greek city-state of Athens. But the adoption of a key pillar of democracy — the secret ballot — came far more recently. In England in the 1830s, disenfranchised working-class men and sympathetic members of Parliament launched the Chartist movement. The most crucial of its six objectives was universal suffrage for all men over 21, but not far behind was the secret-ballot provision. It took decades, but eventually the secret ballot became the democratic norm —...

WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE THEN? "Saddam Hussein was responsible for massive human rights violations, but that can't justify giving him the death penalty, which is a cruel and inhuman punishment," said Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's International Justice Program, after the former dictator was hanged early Saturday for the deaths of 148 townspeople. What's wrong with this statement? For starters, "massive human rights violations" is the understatement of the year. Is that what we now call genocide, cold-blooded murder of men, women and children? Do we consider Adolf Hitler to have committed "human rights violations," or do we...

<p>On Tuesday, the Senate's first order of business was to try to pass a cloture vote on the fiscal 2004 budget, four months late and less than two weeks before President Bush submits his fiscal 2005 request. The vote failed due to some last-minute haggling, but the bill's passage in coming days is seen as inevitable.</p>

EXCERPT: Consider the State Department's decision to hire former Clinton Counsel Gregory B. Craig, of Williams & Connolly, LLP, to represent itself against a whistle-blower lawsuit filed by former employee Linda Shenwick. She alleges that she was transferred and fired for exposing mismanagement and abuse at the United Nations. The contract calls for Williams & Connolly to be paid as much as $1.46 million, with senior partners such as Craig to be paid upwards of $500 an hour... Conservatives despise Craig for his work defending Clinton during impeachment and representing Elian Gonzalez's father... ...Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage...
