This is quite the cultural moment we’re having here. And two books capture the spectrum of the lefty reading public, “Trump Is F*cking Crazy: (this Is Not a Joke) by Keith Olbermann” and “Hope Never Dies” by Andrew Shaffer. One is an unhinged rant about Trump. The other is Obama fanfic. Both books embody the…

Happy Barack Obama Day. Illinois government offices remained open Saturday as the home state of former President Barack Obama commemorated his birthday under a new state law. The bill marking Aug. 4 as “Barack Obama Day” throughout the state was enacted without making the date a full-scale holiday. The Illinois House narrowly rejected a plan…

That’s why Ben Shapiro and Jonah Goldberg are wrong to describe the criticism of the New York Times for hiring Sarah Jeong, a blogger with a history of making racist comments…

The Democrat love affair with Hamas continues to grow. 69 House Dems have signed a letter calling for taxpayer cash for Gaza. The letter was partly written by Rep.
