Wall Street Journal: Only the Elite Are Entitled to Opinions

Harvard Poll: Two-Thirds Say Russia Investigations ‘Hurting Country’

A Harvard University poll has found that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the FBI’s Russia investigations are “hurting the country” and a majority believe it is time for Congress and the establishment media to “move on to other issues.” The poll comes on the heels of an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey that found that half of Americans believe the media’s Russia coverage has been “irresponsible/overdramatized.”

What Democrats Don’t Get About Donald Trump, and Republicans

What President Barack Obama and the Democrats have attempted to do for eight years has gone beyond the boundaries of the the Constitution; beyond the previous limits of what both parties considered possible; and, often, beyond what they themselves promised voters that they would do.

NFL Ratings Drop as Kaepernick Protests Continue

Rome was not built in a day, and did not crumble in a day. Nor did it crumble for only one reason. Yet, in the midst of a massive ratings drop, the NFL rushes to say what’s not causing the decline, rather than what is causing it.
