Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
The Washington Post publishes documents released through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request about the U.S. war in Afghanistan, claiming they show that U.S. officials promoted a rosy view of progress, when behind the scenes they knew the war was unwinnable.
Bill Whittle thinks he now understands why Democrats continue to pursue their Quixotic impeachment dream. It’s the Democrat Party’s 2020 election concession speech. They know they can’t convict or remove him from office, and they know they can’t beat him in November. Why do you think they continue down this path?
Right Angle: Backstage (12/10/2019)
Justice Department Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz releases his report essentially clearing former FBI officials James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and others of launching an investigation into the Trump campaign’s connections with Russia for political reasons.

In one of the weirder stories we’ve heard, rapper T.I. says he takes his teen daughter for annual virginity tests. New York State lawmakers propose a law banning the hymen-check procedure, but gynecologists say: Wait, that’s not a thing.
