Last week, at the infamous Trinity United Church of Christ where President Obama used to listen to Rev. Jeremiah Wright blast the United States of America, Republican candidate Paul McKinley slammed the Chicago Machine during a candidate forum for the special election to fill
It’s bad enough Politico’s Dylan Byers is a palace guard for Obama’s media palace guards, but it’s his reading comprehension that’s most bothersome. On the same day we publish a scoop on the Menendez scandal, Beyers mocks us for, uhm,

The mainstream media hivemind has decided that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) quoted Chuck Hagel’s words out of context in confronting him with past statements about the U.S. and Israel. Dave Weigel of Slate even went so far as to accuse
Apparently, gun downed honor student Hadiya Pendleton was in the “wrong place at the wrong time.” Newser: The Chicago teen who was killed days after performing in President Obama’s inauguration may have simply been in the “wrong place at the
