7-11 Needlessly Obscures Presidential Coffee Cup Poll
Why, 7-11, WHY? Is no one in your convenience store chain organization familiar with that old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?" And fix it they did. Oh how they fixed it.

Early Wednesday afternoon, Washington Post writer Chris Cillizza attempted to silence those who pointed out his massive double standard in reporting about the health of Republican Senator John McCain (Ariz.) during the 2008 presidential campaign and his rampant dismissal of any doubts being raised about Hillary Clinton’s physical state here in 2016.

Maddow: US Bombed Laos For More Than a Decade for No Apparent Reason
When it comes to liberals, what they omit from their narratives can be just as misleading as what they include.
Case in point: Rachel Maddow reporting on MSNBC last night about President Obama's visits to the nations of Laos and China. As the destination of a presidential visit, China makes sense but why Laos, you may wonder.
Opponents of Hillary Clinton “aren’t informed” and can’t offer “meaningful” arguments, according to Amy Schumer. And no, the 35-year-old comedian wasn’t joking.

The EU's Taxing Problem
Economics was not one of my favorite subjects in college, so I avoided economic courses. But I do know a few things about human nature. If you tax income at too high a rate, corporations will look elsewhere for relief. Take Ireland. In 1991, Apple Corporation cut a deal with the Irish government so that only a certain bracket of its earnings would be taxed, giving it, writes Business Insider…

Van Jones: Clinton Is 'One of the Most Honest Politicians in America'
The name "Hillary Clinton" and the words "one of the most honest politicians in America" are definitely not words one would expect to see someone use in the same sentence together, but liberal CNN political commentator Van Jones managed to do just that as he appeared as a panel member on Tuesday's CNN Tonight. Responding to a question about a recent CNN/ORG poll finding abysmally low numbers of…
