Jazz Shaw, I’m generally not one for New Years resolutions. They don’t tend to stick as well as things I decide to do over a period of time and launch into when it makes sense rather than on some magical, preordained date on the calendar. But given how much trouble some of our politicians – […] Continue reading → She is the leading global voice championing the empowerment of girls and women, but of the eight Democratic women Hillary Clinton stumped for in the 2014 midterm cycle, only one was declared a winner.

Cortney O’Brien, This started as a top ten list. Let’s face it, with President Obama’s awful approval ratings and the unfortunate consequences of Obamacare felt like a sting around the country, Democrats were already vulnerable in this year’s midterm elections.

(TWTR) nine days before local elections, as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan acted on his vow to shut down leaks targeting his government amid a corruption probe.

Voting American The United States Constitution -vs- Barack Obama The man started his presidency off with a bang by botching his oath of office. For good measure, he set the tone for his administration for allowing Chief Justice John Roberts to take the blame for the error. Obama promises on the campaign trail to immediately shut down Guantanamo Bay. The detention […] Continue reading → President Obama has made it clear over the years that he’s not a big fan of Congress.

On the campaign trail, Obama said: �Let folks know […] Continue reading → Four years ago, Barack Obama had little trouble drawing large crowds on the campaign trail.
