President Trump is feeling pretty invulnerable right now. Between the lack of indictments coming from the Mueller Report, the House’s reticence to initiate impeachment proceedings, the lack of GOP blow back from his comments about taking opposition research from foreign governments, etc. Why would he take advice from the Office of Special Counsel i.e. […]

President Donald Trump told POLITICO on Friday that it would be “appropriate” for him to speak to Attorney General Bill Barr […]
Just this past Saturday, I wrote about a conference that I attended at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee about freedom of the press around the world. In that article, I showed that the United States currently ranks 48 in press freedom…and I think that next review we won’t even be in the top 50. […]
