Newt Gingrich’s Sad Audition To Be Donald Trump’s Vice President
Now that reality-television star and gilded yeti Donald Trump has pretty much secured the GOP nomination, attention has begun to shift to who might claim the honor of being Trump’s running mate.

One coal state senator holds the key to Biden’s ambitious climate agenda. And it’s not McConnell.
He’s a coal country native, born to a family of mining town mayors. As West Virginia governor, he sued the Environmental Protection Agency.

Biden Turns the Page On Trump in a Surprisingly Effective Inaugural Address
No one expects soaring oratorical peaks from President Joe Biden. That’s not his natural style.
Yet his inaugural address was a powerful statement because it showed him grappling forthrightly — in the plainspoken language that reflects his authentic voice — with one of the most vexing questions of human relations: How does one restore respect when there are very good reasons to feel
