It is possible – perhaps even probable – that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders could win in both Iowa and New Hampshire.  In terms of delegates to the Democratic National Convention, Iowa has 49 delegates and New Hampshire has 33 – out of the 3979 regular delegates and the 771 so-called superdelegates that are designated by the Party.  The superdelegates will not be allowed to vote unless no one gets the required majority on the first ballot. If Sanders should win in the first two states, he will gain a psychological…

Just days after the Justice Department reversed course to recommend up to six months of prison time in his case, more than a year later after pleading guilty and offering to cooperate, Donald Trump’s first national security advisor, Michael Flynn, has requested to withdraw his guilty plea. Flynn and his attorneys are arguing that he’s been the victim of an “overzealous” Justice Department that has operated in “bad faith.” This move by Flynn’s new legal team comes just as Judge Emmet Sullivan bumped Flynn sentencing date — which was originally…

Criminally indicted Lev Parnas, the new “star witness” of the Dems, who they claim proves that Trump had former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, under surveillance, has now said, that text messages that seemingly suggested Yovanovitch was in danger, and being secretly monitored, were in reality just the ramblings of a “drunk.” Speaking to MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” a day after he provided a slew of new documents and text messages to House investigators, which made Democrats drool, Parnas repeatedly said prominent Trump donor Robert F. Hyde “wasn’t…

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., has introduced a pro-Second Amendment bill in the Senate that is aimed at easing restrictions on gun owners transporting their firearms across state lines. The bill would reform the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), clarifying the term “transport” to include “staying in temporary lodging overnight, stopping for food, fuel, vehicle maintenance, an emergency, medical treatment, and any other activity incidental.” Daines said Americans should not be afraid to transport their legally owned firearms. “This is about protecting law-abiding gun owners and their constitutional right to safely…

President Trump continues his game of “I would if I could, but I can’t so I won’t,” with Democrats, vowing that former national security advisor (NSA), John Bolton will never testify in the president’s impeachment trial in the Senate. President Trump said last week in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham that he would “love everybody to testify,” including Bolton, secretary of state Mike Pompeo and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney. But he then went on to say, “…there are things that you can’t do from the…

The complaint that there are no minority candidates on the Democrats left on the debate stage, got me thinking. A couple years ago, I wrote a commentary arguing that America is not only NOT a racist country, but that we are one of the most open and tolerant nations on earth.  That is borne out by our long history of being the world’s leading nation of immigration. It is literally absurd to call a nation racist that elects a black President.  It is absurd to call a nation racist when…

Iranian propaganda mill is working overtime to undermine President Trump’s foreign policy as part of their anti-American efforts.  Attempting to justify the attacks on American assets, America’s enemies – especially the Iranian leadership — are proffering a number of anti-American narratives.  Here is what they are saying. The drone that was shot down by the Iranian Republican Guard Corps was in Iran airspace. There is no evidence to prove that Iran was behind the rocket attack that killed an American contractor. There is no evidence that Iran orchestrated the attack…
