But the one-page document of vague standards, she added, leaves reform supporters hungry for more details.   Continue reading “Pelosi: GOP immigration reform principles ‘raise more questions than answers’”

The New York Times has posted a story that the U.S. has informed NATO allies  that Russia has tested a ground-launched cruise missile, which is a big no-no, that is prohibited by the 1987 treaty banning medium-range missiles, signed President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio took the Russians to task, by stating the obvious, “Putin is not to be trusted.”   Continue reading “U.S.-Russian Relations Get Frosty After Russia Tests Banned Cruise Missile”

Mitt Romney leads the Republican field among New Hampshire primary voters for 2016. Yes, you read that right.

Why not make it a third run for president? That’s something that the former Republican nominee is definitely not thinking about right now. To put it in his own recent words: “Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.”   Continue reading “Mitt Romney Is the 2016 Republican Front-Runner (This is not an “Onion” story.)”

We know, you’re wondering what the deal is with John Kerry’s black and blue face. Don’t worry, he was not beaten up. It’s simply an injury after a friendly pick-up hockey game with friends and family.

His aides did not give too many details on what happened, but the Massachusetts Democrat suffered two black eyes and a broken nose. The Washington Post reported that it wasn’t a stick or a puck that’s to blame for Kerry’s bruises. The injury apparently occurred when he fell amid a multi-player pile-up during the game.   Continue reading “What’s up with John Kerry’s face at the State of the Union address?”
