Stephen Moore is a longtime TV & print punditry mainstay and one of the dumbest people in all of politics, and I mean that both globally and measuring from the dawn of time, without hyperbole.
He's by far the less competent of Trump's two fed picks, and the other one is professional laughingstock Herman Cain.

Lol! Nancy Pelosi's advice to Joe Biden when in the presence of women is to: "Just pretend you have a cold and I have a cold".
Do you guys get the feeling that creepy old Biden is the kind of grandpa or elderly uncle who, when attending a family gathering, tells all the children he has candy in his front pockets and all they have to do is reach in and dig around and grab it and it's theirs.

This isn't news or the most important issue of the day, really, more just an interesting blog post compiling stories from various "Fox News orphans" about this depressing phenomenon. If you're looking for a lunch break read or something.

"My pastor says “progress is made one funeral at a time” and it’s hard to disagree with him at this point."
That's a ... depressingly good point.

Unfortunately the IRS commissioner and IRS legal counsel are both involved in Trump's businesses in one way or another. If there's any way to prevent his returns from being released I imagine they're motivated to find it.

Lol! Amy Klobuchar's campaign used 'Google Translate' for the Spanish version of her election website.
Oh the sickening levels of pandering we're going to have to endure. And we still have a year and a half to go with this nonsense.

Stephen Miller is now in charge of all immigration & border policy at the White House: https://www.business...s-report-2019-4
He wants to fully purge officials he considers non-hardliners: https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/08/politics/miller-nielsen-trump-immigration-homeland-security/index.html
One of the reasons Nielsen in particular was on his hit list is because he and Trump want to supercharge child separation: https://www.nbcnews....-policy-n992021
To be clear, the reasons she opposed this is because of the hit to her professional reputation the last round elicited, not because she fundamentally opposed child concentration camps or the systematic destruction of family units (they didn't actually stop child separation). The DOJ wants years to bother reuniting the kids they've already stolen, which speaks both to the volume of kids they took, and the lack of urgency -- to put it mildly -- in repairing the evils they've done to these families.

Congress holding hearing on hate crimes today. Wonder how seriously the GOP takes this subject.
Their star witnesses:
Their own comments:
GOP Reps Buck and Gohmert, who both predate Trump in politics by years and are both in their 60s.

The President of the United States (along with Rupert Murdoch) is actively trying to get a sitting congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, killed through stochastic terrorism. It's sickening.
