You Won't Believe What This Clinton Aide Says Now!
Even this certified Clinton insider and former advisor to the Power Couple thinks that there's a clear "double standard" when it comes to investigating the Clintons vs. investigating President Trump. And that's just the beginning of what he has to say. Watch this clip!

Remembering A Salty Old Sailor, John McCain
We were proud to have supported John McCain during his career.
We stood by him and championed his cause during the long 2008 presidential campaign. If you've followed this blog, this is not news to you. We contributed to McCain, we rallied with him and we sang his praises here over and over again.
We honored him as a revered military hero and a patriot and we were deeply disappointed when the voters rejected him at the polls in 2008.
John McCain fought a valiant fight -- then and now. Always, he was an American original -- a ruggedly individualistic leader who followed his own drummer. He delighted some, confounded others and often defied expectations. But always, he commanded respect.
We can think of no better way to remember him tonight than by reprinting something we wrote just after the 2008 election -- something that we like to think is very much in the spirit of McCain himself:
Even before the election was over people were accusing me of being in denial.For whatever reason, they wanted me to recognize the reality of the situation.Friends urged me to "get real" and prepare myself so that I'd be OK "after the fall."Those on the other side wanted me to acknowledge the rightness of their cause and the inevitability of their victory. In their bravado, they craved affirmation (and they still do). But I took it as an attempt to disarm me and quickly brushed it aside.What they didn't know was I never needed a wake up call because I wasn't in denial.I knew the odds were long. I knew the road would be difficult. Hey, I supported McGovern in 1972. I know what it's like to be up against long odds. And I lived through that. I survived.I recognized that after the stock market collapsed and economic chaos took over it would be hard for the GOP to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.I wasn't in denial.But I simply decided to find bright patches of optimism and cause for (dare I say it) hope where I could. I found bits of sunlight in every cloud on the horizon. I needed to do that (all of of us on this side needed to do it) to get from there to here. We needed to do this for ourselves - and for our country.And we needed to do it to stay in the fight. We weren't about to give the others any more cause for celebration than they already had.When it comes to fighting against long odds, this is the only way I know.And I have no respect for those who threw in the towel before the battle was over or who (worse yet) defected. Those cowards (and the ton of them shall remain nameless) know who they are. And they will have to live with themselves.I'm a big boy. I've been through this before. I can live with it.I sailed proudly with a gutsy, courageous, salty old sailor. We weren't always a perfect match and he sure as hell wasn't my first choice. But it was still a helluva ride.So, no regrets.No recriminations. No apologies. Now, let's begin the new day.

Poll: Voters Say YES - Put America First!
Voters agree with President Trump that America should come first on the world stage but don't think the Democratic party's next presidential nominee is likely to agree.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, when thinking about problems in the world, 52% of Likely U.S. Voters are more interesting in finding a solution that most benefits the United States. Forty-one percent (41%) would rather find a solution that is better for the whole world. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

From Smallest Victims To The Greatest Adventure
The smallest victims of the Crisis Next Door
Some of its victims are the smallest, most vulnerable among us. From 2000 to 2012, America saw a five-fold increase in the share of babies born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)—equivalent to one baby suffering from opiate withdrawal born every 25 minutes, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Last year, 198 babies were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, for NAS. Today, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will tour that facility, discussing the Administration’s three-part plan to halt the opioid crisis.
The First Lady’s “Be Best” initiative also takes aim at NAS, educating parents on the importance of healthy pregnancies. Last year, the First Lady visited Lily’s Place in West Virginia, where addiction recovery treatment is available to entire families.
An update on Hurricane Lane
FEMA is working alongside multiple partners to actively support Hawaii’s efforts as they respond to the potentially devastating impacts of Hurricane Lane.
Hurricane Lane is a Category 3 storm and continues to move westward across the Central Pacific with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Hurricane watches and warnings have been issued for parts of Hawaii.
President Trump urges all Hawaiians to follow the direction of state and local officials, including evacuation orders when given. Local residents are encouraged to visit Ready.gov/hawaii or the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency for more information.
“For more than 50 years, this storied center has been at the forefront of America’s journey to the stars,” Vice President Mike Pence told NASA employees yesterday in a visit to Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. “Here, from the Mission Control Center, you have guided every American-crewed space expedition since 1965.”
“The United States Space Force, we believe, is an idea whose time has come,” the Vice President said. Terry Virts, a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel who served as Commander of the International Space Station, agrees. “It’s hard to overstate the importance of space in our military operations and civilian life,” Virts writes in The Washington Post this week.
“China and Russia have made it clear they are not willing to accept the status quo.”
‘I was an astronaut. We need a Space Force.’
