If Hollywood had an offspring, wouldn't it have to be Harvey Weinstein?
Scruffy beard, sausage fingers, sloppy beer belly. The Baby looks and acts just like his parents, the Tinseltowns.
Harvey loves the Code...
"The most dangerous place in Washington is between Charles Schumer and a television camera." Sen. Bob Dole

Every time I see him, I wonder, "How does the man get elected?" But Chuck Schumer does. In fact, he hasn't lost an election since 1974.
He knows he can say whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and it doesn't have to be true. He can promise voters the moon and not deliver.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a plot out of a James Bond movie. A villain, a Leftist Liberal, maybe Hillary, sitting underground on a bleak desert island, concocting a plot to control the world's weather. To mess with Trump.
Back-to-back-to-back hurricanes in the space of a month? Puerto Rico hit twice? This...

It might have started at the breakfast table when George Washington turned to Martha and asked, "This tea cost how much?"
The rest is history. American history. Our history.

He's not the kind of guy who ignores the elephant in the room.
He feeds it peanuts.
This week, in what was basically a meeting of the "World Family," the president addressed the United Nations about family business, Islamic te...

Looking at him, he looks like somebody George Clooney would take a shot at.
He's a tad overweight, and doesn't dress up much, but he doesn't need to. He was the man who pushed Donald Trump over the finish line and...

It didn't happen often, but this time Barack Obama was right.
There are some things a president can't do with an executive order.
He can't legislate without the legislature. And he can't take away our dreams.
When he was president, Obama told ...

Some people set your teeth on edge. Paul Ryan and John McCain are some of those people.
With a meanness of spirit, and a relentlessness worthy of Chuck Schumer, these Establishment fellas don't have time to legislate. They're too busy tripping up Trump.
This week, while the people of Texas were...

Bad habits are hard to break.
Like the way we have accepted that all politicians should talk like politicians, all bluster and no substance. And that, if you throw enough money at it, you'll win.
But despite a huge Campaign War Chest, Hillary didn't win. And the politicians who ...
"The first reaction to truth is hatred." Quintus Tertullian, Christian Theolgian

Hate is an equal opportunity employer, but there are some people who are better at it than others.
It all just depends on who you are. Fall into the right group and you get away with murder.
Like the mainstream media. And Barack Obama.
Have you picked up a magazine lately? What y...
