One Statistic Reveals Why The Rest Of Us Think Republicans Are Crazy

A new CNN/ORC poll summed up why many non-Republicans think that the Republican Party has gone insane. Close to half of all Republicans, and 54% percent of Donald Trump supporters still believe that President Obama is a Muslim.

Clown Exposed As Donald Trump Admits That His Campaign Speeches Are About Nothing

During his rally in Dallas, TX tonight, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump admitted that his speeches are about nothing.

With his poll numbers in free fall, Walker has decided to step up his war on American workers.

California Republicans have no candidates that appear to have any realistic chance of cracking the top two in the June primary

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders stood up for workers and hammered Scott Walker's back to the past plan of federal union busting.

A new poll contains a strong warning to Republicans from the American people that they will pay if they shut the government down over funding for Planned Parenthood.

In an amazing speech, Sen. Bernie Sanders went to Liberty University this morning and gave right-wing evangelicals a dose of progressive faith, and tore apart the hypocrisy of supposedly faith-based Republicans defending immoral economic policies.

Obama "failing to directly engage millions of voters" is not a valid complaint against the Obama Administration but revisionist history

Putin says Assad is best placed to defeat the Islamic State, but Assad is more interested in helping IS defeat his moderate enemies

Walker abruptly cancelled his keynote speech in a desperate attempt to resuscitate his dying presidential campaign.

The Republican war on woman reached a new low with House Republicans led by government shutdown ringleader Ted Cruz threatening to shut down the government unless Planned Parenthood is defunded.

Another Republican falsehood has been blown to pieces as it has been confirmed that Iran will not be self-inspecting their sensitive nuclear sites.

A former Kansas state employee has filed a federal wrongful termination lawsuit targeting Kansas' Secretary of State and assistant secretary of state, Eric Rucker. The lawsuit alleges that the employee's dismissal was founded on her refusal to attend bible and prayer services in Secretary of State Kris Kobach's office.

Bernie Sanders is building on his leads in Iowa and New Hampshire by showcasing his knowledge of foreign policy, and his peaceful path forward for the United States.

During an interview on CNN's State Of The Union, CNN's Jake Tapper went there with Scott Walker by questioning his ties to the Koch brothers, and why Walker doesn't oppose conservative special interests.

The Hillary Clinton email scandal is quickly rolling down the path of other empty Republican scandals as it is being reported that her private email server was not wiped.

Trump isn't letting up as he heads into the second Republican debate Wednesday night, unleashing all his ire, vendetta-like on Rand Paul

Charisma News looks for something positive, but all they can find to say is that he has stayed out of the GOP's "recent personal attacks"

Pointing to Sarah Palin, Maher asks, "Why are the people who demand that everyone speak English always the ones who can't speak English?"

If Trump is the Republican nominee, his abysmal showing with Latino voters is almost certain to sink his candidacy in a general election.

Hillary Clinton apologized for a made up email scandal that was blown way out of proportion by the MSM. Now that the DOJ has put that to rest, where is their apology to her?

Republicans not only have no intent in fulfilling their oath of office, they may have no idea what they are swearing to support and defend.

Some Evangelicals are wiling to accommodate Trump, but Gallup shows religious people like Ted Cruz, and especially Ben Carson, even more

Iraq Asks Oil Companies to Cut Spending After Drop in Prices

Iraq asked oil companies to reduce their 2016 spending plans in the country by Sept. 30, citing lower oil prices and government revenue.

The reduced budgets shouldn’t affect 2015 production, Abdul Mahdy Al-Ameedi, director of licensing at Iraq’s oil ministry, said by phone Tuesday, citing a letter that the ministry sent to companies. Iraq is now producing more than 3 million barrels a day, he said.

“We’ve asked them in a letter we sent them to take into consideration the drop in oil prices and the low revenues of the government that may not cover their investments,” al-Ameedi said. “There was a stipulation that this investment reduction must not affect oil output from the fields that was in the 2015 schedule.”

Ghost of Exxon Valdez Haunts Shell in the Arctic

There are many contradictions about Shell’s Arctic misadventure to drill for oil, but three are the most striking: Firstly the company is spending billions of dollars and risking the reputation of the company on oil that can never be burnt.

Secondly, Obama having just allowed the company to start drilling in the Arctic, then visits the region to warn about climate change; something that his Administration has just made worse.

And thirdly, Shell says it can adequately clean up any spill in the region, if there is an accident. That last promise is for want of a better word, a lie. The only way to clean up a spill in the Arctic is not to spill oil in the first place. The bottom line is that any oil spilt in the Arctic may never be cleaned up, and its legacy may last decades, or even longer.
