President Trump’s budget has been billed as slashing deficits by trillions of dollars through what media outlets are billing as “deep” spending cuts. In reality, its savings are mainly imaginary — highly dependent on rosy economic forecasts and vague promises to eliminate “waste, fraud, and abuse.” Assuming significantly faster economic growth over the next decade than the Congressional Budget Office does enabled the White House Office of Management and Budget…

A political crisis is brewing inside the halls of Congress. A few freshman Democrats have drawn the ire from both sides about their position on the U.S.’s relationship with Israel. In the lead up to the 2018 midterm election, then-congressional candidates Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., — the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress — were criticized for a series of troubling remarks about Israel that…

That Michael Cohen is proudly declaring he doesn’t want a pardon from federal prison time doesn’t make him the hero he thinks it does. The only reason anyone would say that, as Cohen did during his embarrassing testimony in front of Congress last week, is that he knew a pardon from President Trump was never in the cards. And that’s what the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. Cohen’s current attorney,…

Video ‘The View’ erupts as angry Meghan McCain talks about Democrats blocking ‘born alive’ bill: ‘Disgusting’ U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was apparently unmoved Thursday by Meghan McCain’s tearful remarks about her on “The View.” McCain had become emotional during the ABC talk show, discussing Omar’s recent criticisms of Israel and its supporters. She said Omar’s remarks were hurtful to many of her Jewish friends. “It is very dangerous, very dangerous,” McCain…

Legal observers were surprised by the relatively light, 47-month sentence received Thursday by President Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who was convicted in August on charges of tax and bank fraud. The 69-year-old, who appeared in the court in Virginia in a wheelchair and pleaded for compassion, could have been sentenced to up to 24 years in federal prison. With time served, Thursday’s sentence means Manafort could spend a…

In defending the repeated anti-Israel, anti-Semitic things freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., keeps blurting out, Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., touched on something no one is bothering to ask: Why does Omar hold these views about Jews? Omar has accused Israel, which is Jewish, of having “hypnotized the world.” She keeps talking about Jews and their money. Her sympathies with Iran, a U.S. adversary and a hostile state to Israel, are…

Before joining President Trump’s campaign to “drain the swamp” of Washington corruption, Paul Manafort perfected a revolving door between respectable Republican politics and dictators who gave him millions of dollars. Now, the former Trump campaign manager, 69, will trade six homes and an ostrich coat for a federal prison cell and a monochrome uniform, with a judge awarding him Thursday what could be a de facto life sentence. Manafort has…

Has the Democratic Party reduced its chances of denying President Trump a second term by continuing to concentrate on throwing him out before the end of his first? You can make a good case that it has. Democrats have been itching to oust Trump since the days before he took the oath of office. Obama administration law enforcement and intelligence agencies launched investigations into candidate Trump’s campaign, contrary to the…
