He doubled down on his support for establishment candidates saying conservatives simply cannot win general elections. McConnell needs a history lesson on the Tea Party. Marco Rubio. Mike Lee.

The Senate is not going to embrace conservative principles or deal with the debt unless Mitch McConnell is thrown out of office.

The Iran deal was a very bad deal and put the International Community on cruise control heading over a cliff. Trump could have kicked the can down the road but has made the responsible decision in decertifying. When Israelis and Arabs are supportive of something that tells you it is pretty sound policy.

In addition, another 57,000 officers were assaulted in the line of duty and 16,000 of those sustained injuries.
