Sens. Grassley and Johnson start investigating Hunter Biden and Alexandra Chalupa; Treasury Dept. hand…
Through seven-layer word salad, Trump appears to say he'd go after Social Security, Medicare
Honestly, I don’t totally comprehend Trump-ese. No one does. Not even him. Everything he says seems to have been Google translated from English to Cantonese to Zapf Dingbats and back to English. But, hey, it sure sounds like Donald Trump just stated that he’s willing to take a few swats at entitlement programs like Social Security and…
Like asking Russia for HRC emails, Trump thinks gutting Medicare would be 'fun' in his second term
Killing the social safety net is the wet dream for the GOP and while Trump will not mention it in 2020, there is evidence that he’s made that second-term promise to the GOP. It’s the same playbook we’ve seen — raise deficits and loot the treasury with things like that upper-class tax cut. And yet the…

Why Bloomberg and that Other Billionaire Are Such Punching Bags Now.
Looks like it is beat on billionaire time! And it is easy enough to do when you have billionaire Michael Bloomberg say this about Medicare for All: “I think we could never afford that,” Bloomberg said, addressing pin factory employees in Nashua, New Hampshire. “We are talking about trillions of dollars.” “I think you could…
The last time unemployment was this low, our Democratic president balanced the budget
Mitch McConnell probably thought he was being very clever, waiting almost a full year after the passage of the Republican tax scam to blame the resultant budget hole on an 83-year-old program. Yes, the public has a short memory, but if the GOP succeeds in stripping them of their Social Security and/or Medicare benefits, one can…
The difference between 2018 and the 2010 midterms? The truth
As 2017 winds to a close, press, pundits and politicians alike are saying 2018 could be the year of the “blue wave.” Led by a historically unpopular first-year president and still smarting from embarrassing losses in Virginia and Alabama, many Republicans are talking out loud about “bloodbath” in next November’s midterm elections. While Democrats are…
Clinton's Lie Shows She's Afraid of Losing Her Strongest Supporters
Why would Hillary Clinton risk lying when lack of honesty and conviction is her biggest perceived weakness among voters? Looking at who she’s lying to answers the question. Hillary Clinton claimed in Iowa: “His plan would take Medicare and Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Affordable Care Act health-care insurance and private employer…
