Marianne Williamson Is Way Out There, But She Won Tonight's Debate
I’ll say it again, there is not a single candidate currently running that will beat Donald Trump in 2020. Not one. Unless someone steps up his or her game big league, Donald Trump is going to win a second term as president of the United States. Now, that being said, after tonight’s CNN Democratic debate, there had to have been a winner. I thought Sen. Bernie Sanders was one of them. He needed

Are secular liberals getting cocky?

G.O.P.-Led Benghazi Panel Bolsters Administration
A report released late Friday about the fatal 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, left Republicans in the same position they have been in for two years: with little evidence to support their most damning critiques of how the Obama administration, and then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, responded to the attacks.
