Pennsylvania AG indicted for perjury, oppression, and obstruction. Fifteenth paragraph before the linked article mentions that she’s a Democrat… which (let’s face it) is probably better than the national media will do.

Jeb Bush calls Trump an “asshole.” And who knows more about being an asshole than the guy who wants to shove amnesty and Common Core down our throats?

Ron Paul sleaze continues to damage Rand Paul chances for presidency. Ron’s campaign advisor from 2012 was just indicted for bribing a state senator in order to win the Iowa caucuses. The indictment comes on the eve of the first Republican debate.

Meet Hillary Clinton: Named after Sir Edmund Hillary even though she was born a year before he climbed Everest, canny investor who turned $1,000 into $100,000 trading cattle futures, combat veteran who barely survived sniper fire, tried to join the Marines but was rejected—“You’re old, you can’t see, and you’re a woman… go join the Army.”—and turned down by NASA when she wanted to be an astronaut. Let’s face it: Granny is a very impressive fictional character.

2015: “There’s just no evidence that raising the minimum wage costs jobs…”

Utica shale deposits larger than previously thought. The new estimate is 782 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 1.9 billion barrels of oil—twice as much oil and twenty times more natural gas than the 2012 USGS estimate. Looks like “peak oil theory” just took another hit.

GAO discovers HealthCare.gov “not set up to detect fraud.” Phony applicants that GAO investigators signed up last year were automatically re-enrolled this year, sometimes with even bigger government subsidies.

Climate scientists suffering from “pre-traumatic stress.” According to New York Magazine, the poor little darlings are freaking out and depressing themselves with their own apocalyptic predictions. Or something.

The New York Times won’t allow Ted Cruz biography on bestseller list. “A Time for Truth” has sold enough copies to be on the bestseller list but The Slimes editors hate Ted Cruz. And that title? The title freaks them out.
