A former CIA officer was arrested this week for retaining highly classified information relating to the U.S. spy network in China. While most voters consider spying a serious threat to the United States, they’re slightly more likely to see Russia as the culprit than China.
This past Tuesday marked the 75th time a Democrat and a Republican faced off in a special election for a state or federal office since President Donald Trump won the 2016 election. The result in District 35 of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, a solidly Democratic seat in the Pittsburgh area won easily by a Democrat, did not tell us much on its own. Yet taken as a whole, the 75 special elections and the regular elections in New Jersey and Virginia in November 2017 may offer some clues as to how the political environment is developing as we head toward November 2018.
The government is open again. That's too bad.
One day, one of these shutdowns should be permanent. We would still have far more government than the Founding Fathers envisioned.
Voters think a special prosecutor is needed to see if the nation’s top cops have been playing politics.
It's elementary. Education control freaks will use any excuse to crack down on competition. With two million K-12 students now educated at home (including our 9th grade son), the temptation to exploit the most marginal cases of alleged child abuse by home-schoolers has proven irresistible to statist politicians and government apologists.
Will rising tensions between the state of California and the federal government push the so-called "Calexit" initiative over the finish line? Most Americans hope not.

In the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico is pushing even harder for statehood, and more Americans than ever support welcoming the commonwealth as the 51st state. They’re far less likely to support statehood for our nation’s capital, though.
"The Western democratic system is hailed by the developed world as near perfect and the most superior political system to run a country," mocked China's official new agency.
"However, what's happening in the United States today will make more people worldwide reflect on the viability and legitimacy of such a chaotic political system."
Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Likely U.S. Voters now think the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey for the week ending January 18.
Democrats have been complaining recently about President Trump’s physical and mental health, but his White House physician who also worked for President Obama blew those concerns away at a press conference. His political opponents, however, aren’t buying it.
Here is a MAGA riddle: What is even worse than Fake News? That’s right. Flake News.
Several black members of Congress have been calling for President Trump's impeachment for months and now are boycotting his upcoming State of the Union speech over his criticism of Haiti and some nations in Africa. But very few voters think this continuing confrontation is good for the black community.
President Trump is under fire and we're all "shocked" that his s---hole mouth called the (predominantly black) nations of Africa "s---holes," helpfully comparing them to (predominantly blonde) Norway to make sure nobody missed the point. To drive home just how angry people are about this (and rightly so), Trump's comment overshadowed news that the government accidentally told the citizens of Hawaii they were about to get nuked. As George W. Bush would say, "that's some weird s---."
