Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., are rabidly anti-Semitic Muslim bigots and haters of America. Collectively, with their congressional Muslim counterparts, they unambiguously showcase every negative opinion held by civilized human beings who distrust their kind. They are uncouth, common, contumacious daughters of evil, who find America and Israel objectionable but somehow overlook the treatment of Islamic women and girls. Specific to same, let’s ask how far the congresswomen’s duplicitous double standards extend. Both of these women openly defend Shariah law. I want them to tell us what it’s like to have a mother, grandmother and/or a couple...

Sen. Ted Cruz’s hopes for winning the Republican presidential nomination outright have faded, and he has shifted to a strategy of gaming the rules, angling to send enough double-agent delegates to the July convention to snatch victory from front-runner Donald Trump. It’s a major reversal for Mr. Cruz, who just weeks ago insisted he would win the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination before the convention. But major wins in Utah, Wisconsin and Colorado have not closed the gap, with a series of East Coast primaries looming. Now the best option for the senator from Texas is trench warfare...

Obama has been elected. What do we do now? We cannot make his political views or plans different. So we CHANGE.....did I say....CHANGE Obama. I am going to, on a daily basis, pray that Obama has a life changing salvation experience with the Lord Jesus Christ. Will you join me on this mission?

Hillary in 2002 "Bush was Selected, Not Elected." Black Leaders in 2001, "Bush is an Illegitimate President." Gore in 2000, "Bush lost the popular vote." This will dog Obama right through election Day. Pass the popcorn.

Thoughtful Democrats — the rarest birds on the endangered species list — might want to ponder this: "Another hanging chad has dropped. His name is John G. Roberts Jr., and he undoubtedly will turn out to be opposed to abortion rights, affirmative action, an expansive view of federal powers and a reading of the Constitution that takes a properly suspicious view of the state's embrace of religion. You hang enough chads, and you get to change the Supreme Court." That's not moveon.org, or the wilder shores of the Internet. That's Richard Cohen, big-time columnist in that bastion of mainstream media,...
