The mainstream media wall of silence protecting America's First Family has been crumbling for some time, but now its whole rotten foundation may collapse. And when those bricks come tumbling down, Joe Biden better cover his head. Wednesday's jaw-dropping implosion of Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal – delivered to him on a silver platter by his daddy's Justice Department – is too shocking for even the left-wing lapdog press to completely ignore. When Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika blew a faint breath at the proposed agreement, it fell apart like a house of cards. The judge simply asked government prosecutors and...

Everyone knows there’s a problem with Chubbs. Dirt is smeared across his face. His tongue is rolling out of his mouth. He’s surrounded by signs that say “NO EXCESSIVE BARKING.” But the 5-month-old golden retriever does not know how to read. At a dog park in one of Maryland’s wealthiest suburbs, he spends this sunny August morning rolling on his back. He opens his mouth, and then, he does it. He woofs. Twice. “CHUBBS!” four humans around him yell, trying to stop him from doing what dogs do — just not in Chevy Chase Village this summer. Here in this...

Donald Trump mocked Hillary Clinton on Tuesday for barking like a dog and vowed he would never do so because he said he would be pilloried in the media. "If I ever did that, I would be ridiculed all over the place. I won't do it. I'm not going to imitate her," Trump said during a rally in North Augusta, South Carolina. "She's barking like a dog, and they're saying 'wonderful.'" Clinton barked like a dog Monday while delivering an extended analogy about an old Arkansas political ad where a dog was trained to bark every time something a politician...

A heavy price will be paid in allowing emotion to guide our choices in a presidential campaign that far overshadows initial anger and frustration at overreaching government Projection is what psychologists attach to individuals who 'project' their own behavior onto others, and, in this presidential race, the practice has run rampant. There are two candidates in particular who so believe that they deserve the presidency that they will stoop to new depths to attain their objective. It is fascinating to see poll leaders in both parties act so similarly on stage when either referring to opponents not present or blaring...

Now, the Los Angeles city council is cracking down on dog owners who don't control their animals. It's a common sound on New Hampshire Avenue in L.A.'s Los Feliz neighborhood – that's because you'll find plenty of pooches. But according to a new city ordinance, pet owners may have to pay up if they don't keep their dogs quieted down. Mary Yerkatyan doesn't have dogs but her neighbors do. "I think people...

There's an old " Three Stooges" short that features the boys being transformed into gentlemen as part of a bet between two professors. A similar scenario is being played out at Chicago's Anti-Cruelty Society, as the training staff has taken on a challenging fellow named Baxter with the aim of making him adoptable. The mission of shelters such as Anti-Cruelty is to find homes for as many unwanted animals as possible. Unadoptable dogs don't have much of a future, so these organizations try to make them more desirable. This brings us to Baxter, a 5-year-old border collie mix who —...

Police took the unusual step last Sunday of seizing the barking dog from a Camp Lee Road residence after neighbors got fed up and complained. Epping police Sgt.

When Officer Bradley Jardis was unable to locate Neal, the dog was taken to the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in...

Attacks on nuclear power stations, oil and gas terminals, Canary Wharf and Heathrow’s control tower were being considered by leaders of the plot to blow up seven transatlantic airliners in mid-flight, a court was told yesterday. Documents found on computer memory sticks at the home of an alleged terrorist ringleader contained a list of targets across Britain – including the gas pipeline between Britain and Belgium. The man, Assad Sarwar, was said to be in contact with terrorist leaders overseas and visited Pakistan a month before his arrest as preparations for the airline attacks were being finalised.

Legendary White House correspondent Helen Thomas has sharply questioned U.S. presidents for 46 years, but when she spoke at Centre College Thursday, she had a question for the American people. “Where is the outrage?” The subject of that outrage, Thomas said, should be the war in Iraq and President George W. Bush. She made a plea for peace and suggested Bush do as President Lyndon Johnson was advised in Vietnam, “Declare a victory and leave.” Thomas, a Winchester native, said she was glad to come home to find the word “liberal isn't demonized” here. The 85-year-old was quick on her...

2005 Iran Became Most Dangerous Nation (F-16I to play major role!)Hal Lindsey, Jan. 3, 2006 In reviewing the most important events of 2005 related to prophecy, I believe that the most important is what happened in Iran. Because of certain developments, Iran became the most dangerous nation in the world during 2005.First, Iran’s continuing pursuit of nuclear weapons despite the warnings of the international community is one factor that has elevated it to the title of “most dangerous.” Iran already has Shahab 5 Missiles that are capable of delivering nuclear warheads to Israel and many places in Europe. Not to...

Scott Ritter, the former United Nations arms inspector, has become increasingly irascible in his attempt to challenge America's case for going to war with Iraq. His ill-temper was all too apparent yesterday when an interview on the BBC's Today programme on Radio Four turned into a long exchange of accusations with the presenter, Jim Naughtie, over who was "playing games". Mr Ritter has become a hate figure in America, where he is increasingly asked whether he is a "traitor" for arguing that Saddam Hussein does not pose a threat and that his weapons of mass destruction have been largely destroyed....
