They danced. They sang. They shouted and cried for joy. Had their team won the Super Bowl or the Stanley Cup? Had they won a giant Powerball lottery? No, but their lives had been transformed.

The Clinton State Department’s Major Security Breach That Everyone Is Ignoring
Peter Strzok’s testimony about the email server scandal involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raised headlines because of his defiant, disrespectful, and unapologetic attitude about the bias revealed in his text messages that permeated his work at the FBI.
Why Democrats Should Hope Roe Is Overruled
The prospect of Brett Kavanaugh on the US Supreme Court is, for abortion rights advocates, the nightmare scenario: the entrenchment of a fifth vote to overrule Roe v. Wade and open the door to banning abortion in much of the country.
Fruits, Nuts, and Democrats
Often, when people set out to show how quickly a place can decline, they point to Detroit. Once an extremely prosperous city, thanks to industry cutting out for greener pastures and white people cutting out to save their lives, the place began to resemble downtown Beirut.

Showtime ‘Fakes News’ for the Left
CBS’s pay-cable Showtime channel is the latest backer of con artist/”comedian” Sacha Baron Cohen’s performance art, as in the movies “Borat” and “Bruno.” It’s a new TV show called “Who Is America?” that is designed, as usual, to mock Americans — mostly conservatives — as gullible and stupid.
