The world was rocked this past Friday afternoon when the FBI Director James Comey announced he was reopening the investigation of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president. Reaction was swift from all sides of the political spectrum.
Andrew Breitbart is looking down right now, laughing uproariously that the stake through Hillary Clinton's black, icy heart is his onanistic antagonist Anthony Wiener's over-exposed lil' buddy. But now we face a prospect only slightly less terrifying than Hillary slithering back into the Oval Office.
In 1936, President Franklin Roosevelt defeated Kansas' Gov. Alfred Landon in 46 of the 48 states, thereby creating the jest, "As Maine goes, so goes Vermont." Eight decades later, New England has gone from the Republicans' last redoubt in a bad year to their least receptive region in any year.
A Donald Trump supporter was quoted last week in the New York Times saying if Hillary Clinton wins the election next week, he'll "grab his musket" the following day. Said Trump supporter, Jaded Halbrook, 25, of Green Bay, Wis., in the Times story: "If push comes to shove," and Mrs. Clinton is elected, she "has to go by any means necessary, it will be done, adding "they're going to do whatever needs to be done to get her out of office, because she does not belong there."
America is so deeply divided today that voters backing Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton don't just live on different continents from each other. If current trends continue, and Clinton becomes the next president, she will find that governing this fractured country is a much harder job than winning the election.
Up until at least Nov. 8, the nation's attention will doubtless be focused on the "war" inside the country -- the tumultuous political conflict ripping us to pieces. But I am constantly amazed at how little attention we give to the wars outside that one can easily argue were the roots of the profound divisions and infantile diversions we so unhappily live with today.
Columbiana County Recorder Theresa Bosel is being opposed in her re-election bid by Madison Township Fiscal Officer Tiffany Chetock. We were among Bosel's biggest critics during her first year in office.
Voters in the Mid-Ohio Valley made a wise choice six years ago in sending David McKinley to the U.S. House of Representatives. President Barack Obama was just beginning his assault on the Mountain State's economy and on personal freedoms.
FBI Director James B. Comey testifies during a Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs hearing in September. FBI Director James B. Comey's stunning announcement that he has directed investigators to begin reviewing new evidence in the Clinton email investigation was yet another troubling violation of long-standing Justice Department rules or precedent, conduct that raises serious questions about his judgment and ability to serve as the nation's chief investigative official.
The fact that the perverted and deeply troubled Anthony Weiner appears to be responsible for bringing Hillary Clinton's email troubles back with a vengeance is, we admit, darkly funny. FBI Director Jim Comey did himself and the inquiry in question no favors by announcing, in a cryptic three-paragraph letter Friday, that his agency is reviewing a new batch of emails, brought to his attention by investigators Thursday, "that appear to be pertinent to the investigation" into Clinton's unauthorized use of a private server.
A little-known clock has been ticking down for New Yorkers. Critically important draft rules, adopting the first-ever set of official sea level projections for our state, are on the brink of expiring.
Outside the federal courthouse in Portland on Thursday, Jon Boyette shows to Bundy supporters his disdain for the not guilty verdict with a sign reading: "So long rule of law. It was fun while it lasted."
Hillary Clinton's pompous declaration that "17 intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russia is behind the email hacks" ironically demonstrates our disturbing tolerance for anti-intellectualism. It's remarkable that a future president is excused for recklessly provoking a nuclear-armed adversary.
Every ethnic group except whites bloc-votes for the Democrats. Coincidentally, the Democrats have brought in another 30 to 40 million nonwhite immigrants in the last few decades.
After taking the oath of office following Richard Nixon's 1974 resignation over Watergate, President Gerald Ford famously declared, "My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over." Ford was mocked for self-serving grandiosity, yet time would prove him correct.
I've been in Pennsylvania and Ohio the last few weeks, following Bernie's advice by giving speeches and registering young voters in an effort to beat Donald Trump. Thinking about national politics all day has been toxic - by now it's clear that America is not actually having a political campaign where we think about issues.
Hillary Clinton is campaigning that she, of all the candidates, is the one who is a "champion for women and girls" specifically because, among other things, she protects "women's reproductive health" and "confronts violence against women." Her primary talking point is that she has worked 30 years for women and children.
If we're being honest, the presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is effectively over. Which means that the big fight over the next two weeks is for control of the Senate, where Democrats need a net gain of four seats to retake control.
An Army veteran battling cancer files a claim for benefits that gets mired in the system. It will take more than a year, according to the Veterans Administration, to get around to making a decision, a year he might not have.
