Joe Biden’s mother has passed away: Catherine Eugenia ‘Jean’ Finnegan Biden, 92, “was the center of our family and taught all of her children that family is to be treasured, loyalty is paramount and faith will guide you through the tough times,” Biden said in a statement. I still remember his mom walking out at […]
Two former DOJ officials under Bush have written an op-ed supporting the decision to bring Gitmo detainees to the U.S. to stand trial. The money line: But some prominent criticisms are exaggerated, and others place undue faith in military commissions as an alternative to civilian trials.

I’m sorry but Obama’s address to school children next week is nothing out of the ordinary. Some are trying to dismiss their concerns as “he might be too political”. Perhaps these people should have focused on their own education and a little bit of history in our nation: On November 14, 1988, Reagan addressed and […]

Every news network is fully covering Mitt’s speech on his religion. I hope all the other candidates raise a royal bitch-fest over this coverage.
