Exclusive: Democrats lose ground with millennials - Reuters/Ipsos poll

There's a lifetime between now and the November elections, but for those Democrats who are expecting a "blue wave" this fall, you might want to hedge your bets if this poll is to be believed. Because as Trump turns out to be much less of a disaster than promised, and people have a hard time seeing personally the doom and gloom that the news media is saying is all around them, his odds will improve even as he keeps disappointing some of his own voters. No question that the Democrats pick up House seats (that's been the way of it for decades - the new president's party loses seats in the mid-term), but their odds at taking the House are perhaps not what people (including myself) think that they are. Mueller is the wild-card in all of this, I suppose, and if he tries to drop an "October surprise" on things, that may change some minds. But it will also cement into mine that his entire investigation was only ever political in nature to start with...

A Nobel Prize for Trump and Kim Is No Joke

Al Gore won a Nobel Peace prize in 2007 for a PowerPoint slide show with inaccurate predictions and polar bears. Barack Obama won a Nobel Peace prize mere months into his presidency for not being George W. Bush. If Trump does not win a Nobel Peace prize for his role in this monumental achievement (still a long way to go, though), then the award is truly meaningless. I mentioned the possibility of a Peace Prize for Trump a couple weeks back and some folks (I'm looking at YOU, Justin Bainum!) thought me quite batty. Well it appears that the odds-makers think I might be on to something...

The Hidden Bombshell in the McCabe Report | RealClearPolitics

"He (McCabe) said flatly that during the last months of the Obama administration, high-ranking Justice Department officials tried to kill the FBI’s on-going investigation into the Clinton Foundation. It happened in a phone call from DOJ’s third-highest official. Although unidentified in the report, the reference apparently is to Matthew Axelrod, whose title at the time was principal associate deputy attorney general." In case anyone was wondering what evidence of obstruction of justice actually looks like. Now granted, McCabe is already a proven liar, so it's hard to take his word here as gospel. But if what SHOULD happen actually happens, then he'll be losing a lot more than just his government pension.

Thank heavens that there is still a bit of sanity left in this world!! And in case anyone is wondering who might be so insane as to file such a lawsuit, look no further than the lunatics at PETA. Funded by your generous donations, of course. Try the Humane Society instead!!

Mike Pompeo hunts for Senate Democratic vote

A brief history of previous Secretaries of State... Under "obstructionist" Republicans: 2009: Hillary Clinton was confirmed by a 94-2 vote. 2013: John Kerry was confirmed by a 94-3 vote. Under obstructionist Democrats: 2017: Rex Tillerson barely made it out of the Senate Foreign Relations committee and squeaked by with a 56-43 vote. 2018: Mike Pompeo might not even get through. Never let any Democrat tell you that their elected officials put their country before their party, because that's absolute bull-shit.

North and South Korea are reportedly working to end their 65-year-old conflict

Let's not get out over our skis on this one. But if Trump helps bring about a formal end to the Korean War, he will have done more to advance the cause of peace than anyone thought possible. This is Nobel Peace Prize-worthy, and I'm not the least bit kidding. The bar for earning one of those has been lowered drastically, let's not forget. And let's admit it; many of you just now learned that the Korean War never formally ended...
