Juanita Broaddrick Still Haunts Hillary Clinton

Johnson-Weld 2016?

Is this a game changer? Yes. This does indeed complicate things … I voted for William Weld in 1990; I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012; I like what both Trump and Sanders are saying but … a Johnson/Weld ticket? Oh boy … Weld is set to join Libertarian ticket as VP candidate

The Divided Congress

Brilliant: This 60-second animation shows how divided Congress has become over the last 60 years

Trump 2016 Meet Clinton 1996 …

Bill Clinton in 1996 = Donald Trump in 2015/2016 … it really is that simple. The only difference? Clinton said he did something and was going to do more and didn’t, and the problem became much worse.

Good Question …

Yes, I know, I hate Facebook graphics. I really do … But whether you think it’s the liberal media, corporate media, or whatever, this is a great question to ask. Take a look at Hillary Clinton’s book, “Hard Choices,” as an example. Simon & Schuster paid a $14M advance and also made a $5M royalty … Read more

Silly But … Hmm …

As I’ve already stated, I think Trump needs someone to eye his Tweets. And the “I love Hispanics” Trump Tweet while he was eating a taco bowl ordered from a restaurant in his building the other day really bothered me, mostly because it was stupid. But earlier today, while I was grilling, I got to … Read more

Finally: The WSJ Returns …

It took five months, but the print edition of the WSJ is finally being delivered again. Apparently, the Concord Monitor delivery driver just wasn’t delivering it. All this time, I thought it had to do with the Boston Globe delivery problems. SMH
