Quick note on Michael Cohen: this circus will be going on for three days, and why in the world Congress should spend its time hearing testimony from someone who’s headed to prison for lying to Congress is beyond me...

On Wednesday, former Trump attorney and soon-to-be jailbird Michael Cohen testified behind closed doors before the Senate Intelligence Committee, where it was said that nothing would be off limits...

I guess some people just can’t handle the truth...

Mike Huckabee responds...

When conservatives complain about liberal activist judges, I believe this is what they mean.

The American Action Forum (a think tank led by Republican Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who used to lead the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office) has a new, more complete estimate of the cost of implementing the Democrats’ “Green New Deal.”

Answering comments...

I confess that often, when I hear a leftwing politician trying to make a persuasive case to voters, I think, “Is this person really that stupid, or do they just think the rest of us are?”

Thursday’s press conference by Chicago police about the alleged racist, homophobic attack on Smollett was remarkable not only for what was said, but for what wasn’t said.

Laura Ainsworth responds to a reader comment on her “Michelle O” prediction...

In a welcome court ruling, a federal judge in Philadelphia dismissed a lawsuit by two boys, ages 7 and 11, backed (some might say “used”) by environmental groups, against President Trump for rolling back Obama-era climate change regulations.

Democrats running for President face a serious obstacle: most voters over the age of four remember what it was like when they were last in charge.

As dangerous as it is to link to a CNN story involving the Mueller investigation, this one is actually fairly objective; and if they’ve got solid sources, it could be major news.

Sen. Bernie Sanders made his entry into the 2020 Democratic Presidential race official yesterday with a pair of interviews that were frankly sad for the way they illustrated how far off the leftward cliff the Democratic Party has leaped.

“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett is still denying that the alleged racist attack on him by Trump supporters in Chicago was a hoax. B

It was ridiculous for McCabe to cast suspicion on Trump...

The news you need to know...

Here’s some fascinating weekend reading for you: from the Daily Caller News Foundation, testimony that provides the first real link so far between a Presidential campaign and a foreign government.

As expected, President Trump signed the compromise Congressional spending deal to keep the government open, despite it containing less than $1.4 billion for border walls, about a quarter as much as he requested, enough for only 55 miles of fencing.

I haven’t been writing about every outrageous, offensive and anti-Semitic remark by new Minnesota Democratic Congress member Ilhan Omar because…well, there are only so many hours in the day.

As I already mentioned, President Trump reportedly plans to sign the compromise budget bill to keep the government from shutting down again, but he’s not happy with the paltry funding for border security and intends to build the wall and fund other measures by declaring a national emergency and shifting military funds that he controls to border security.

The left’s argument against voter ID laws has always seemed like their argument that Trump won via Russian collusion or because his supporters are all racist Nazis – like a feeble attempt to avoid confronting the reality that a majority of American voters reject failed leftist policies.

It’s easy to shut down debate --- even a formal debate competition --- on a college or even high school campus: just accuse one side of racism and that’s the end.

Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, who has had his own tangles with the law, is assailing President Trump for having the effrontery to refer to certain people as “criminals” simply because they are in the US illegally and have committed crimes such as drunk driving.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell can smell blood in the water (well, maybe not blood, but he smells something floating in there), so he plans to give the Democrats exactly what their most strident leftwing base wants: a vote on the so-called “Green New Deal.”
