The situation reached fever pitch when FBI agents raided the office and residence of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, yesterday. He’s being investigated for bank fraud and FEC violations relating to the payments to Daniels. Is this a big deal?...

Super Bowl 52 is just a few days away, and after NFL regular season TV ratings fell by nearly 10% this season on average, one of the biggest questions pundits and sports media have is: Will the Super Bowl ratings be good? If the results of a new survey from Seton Hall University are to be believed, the answer might be no. Seton Hall surveyed 706 Americans across the country, via landlines and cellphones, from Jan. 29 to Jan. 31. The first question asked people how closely they follow the NFL.

She keeps interrupting her guests-won't let them finish their thoughts. A wanna-be Megan Kelly who will turn on a dime when the opportunity comes. I see it happening but she doesn't have the talent.

It's amazing how one bump in the road which will be forgotten sooner than you think has resulted in breathless hyperbolic rhetoric from the lunatics on the left. Failure! Embarrassed! Humiliated! A deluge of memes. Tweeting celebs piling on. etc etc. They have lost all perspective. The GOP couldn't come to a consensus on repealing and replacing Obamacare. Ok, it's disappointing but we'll go back to the drawing board and figure something out...and then repeal and replace Obamacare. In the meantime here are the libs, beaten to a pulp across the nation. The Presidency, House, Senate, Governorships in our hands....

Truncated title. Full title: Matthews: ‘Gross’ To Say Hillary Had Anything To Do With Amb.

Rick Santorum built his presidential candidacy on the premise that he is very different than wealthy, establishment front-runner Mitt Romney, that he is someone who has faced the plights of the average American. Among the hardships Santorum claims to share is an underwater mortgage, the kind that's forcing millions from their homes. "The value of my house is a fraction of what it was when I bought it," the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania recently told Michigan supporters. But the Republican presidential contender's housing situation is quite unlike the one so many other Americans actually face, according to experts and...
