Dakota Access case: Army finishes $1.1 million cleanup at camps as four more dogs rescued

Again, I'm super disappointed that I have to turn to the Washington Times for this story. In large part because it's a glorified tabloid, but I firmly believe that had the Tea Party left such a mess behind, we'd have heard about it morning, noon, and night for days on end, and the whole movement's reputation would have suffered. But even if the Tea Party HAD left such a mess behind, the irony of the whole situation is simply unmatched; ENVIRONMENTAL activists protesting a pipeline leave behind such a mess that it takes 835 dumpsters and $1.1 million of taxpayer money to clear...

Rachel Maddow's epic buildup to ... 2 pages from Trump's 2005 tax returns

I have lived almost 44 years on this earth. And t may be another 44 before I see anyone accomplish the exact opposite of what they hoped in a more striking fashion than Rachel Maddow did last night. Because if she was trying to prove some kind of point about taxes last night, all she ended up proving was that the Alternative Minimum Tax is doing exactly what it was designed to do, and that Donald Trump paid $38 million in taxes on $150 million of income. For you math wizards, that's 25%...

Dennis Kucinich: I'm no fan of Trump's but he's got a point about wiretapping

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows. And what a shock, I have to post something that corroborates Trump's claims from Fox News. Perhaps because the other outlets must not think much of an ex-politician from the opposing party lending an air of credibility to the sitting president...

Fact-checking Trump on Guantanamo Bay detainees

What Trump said: "122 vicious prisoners, released by the Obama Administration from Gitmo, have returned to the battlefield". What Reality says: Most of those 122 were actually released under GWB. But the number itself is accurate, and oh by the way, there's another 86 that are also suspected of re-entering the battlefield. What the Haters think: The same thing they've always thought. What everyone else thinks: "Wow, THAT MANY returned to fight us again? Then why did Obama want that place closed so badly???

St. Louis man charged with nationwide string of bomb threats against Jewish facilities

I trash them when they're wrong, so I appreciate it when they're right. So kudos to the Chicago Tribune for publishing most of the items that make this story so interesting to me. Because the perpetrator of a number of these bomb scares at Jewish Community Centers is an anti-Trump leftist with apparently little love for white people who was fired from his job at a website because he was a purveyor of fake news. The only thing left off of this story is his apparent support for Bernie Sanders (according to a Twitter post from July). So according to the rules that the left has laid out for Trump, Bernie Sanders now has until the end of the day to disavow the actions of this individual. And he must do so resoundingly, and repeatedly. Yes, of course it's ridiculous. Most of the left's rules are. But as Bernie himself said just last week, “I hope very much that President Trump and his political adviser Mr. Bannon understand that the entire world is watching, that it is imperative that their voices be loud and clear in condemning anti-Semitism.”

Rep. Cedric Richmond made an awkward joke about Kellyanne Conway, but he says it wasn’t meant to be sexual

Ok, so I SORT of get where this guy is coming from. He's trying to make it sound like Conway feels right at home in the Oval Office, like it's a room in her own house. Or something. But since I don't fashion myself as an offended-at-the-drop-of-a-hat snowflake, I will extend to this man the benefit of the doubt. One would NEVER have been extended to a Republican Representative, had one used similar language regarding Valerie Jarratt in the Obama days...

Mary Katharine Ham's Emotional Tweetstorm in Defense of Carryn Owens | RedState

I rarely post from conservative sites like RedState, because the people who most need to hear the message won't even click the link. Still, this message goes out to all the liberal/progressive haters, delivered by a woman who knows a thing or two about losing a husband before his time, and is now raising a child that will never know their father....
