Mike Huckabee: Trump economy is delivering higher incomes and record employment for Americans | Fox News:

President Trump is a true champion of the middle class. Thanks to his policies, American families are more prosperous than ever before.
Real median household income in the U.S. – a reliable measure of middle-class prosperity – eclipsed $65,000 in July for the first time ever.
Remarkably, median household income has increased by more than $4,000 since Trump’s inauguration, meaning that the president’s pro-growth policies managed to grow the income of middle America by 6.8 percent in less than three years.

Leon Drolet - Ellen DeGeneres doesn't get how important it is to...
"Ellen DeGeneres doesn't get how important it is to despise people you disagree with politically. 
Being civil towards someone from the other political tribe is unacceptable enough, but actually socializing with a person (especially in a friendly manner) erodes the raging hate needed to fuel our culture.
Extra tribal points to the leftists who socially signal with the most vicious criticisms of DeGeneres online!"

Detroit police chief fires back at Rashida Tlaib over racist suggestion to use only black analysts - TheBlaze:

"Analysts need to be African Americans, not people that are not," she told Craig on Monday. "I think non-African Americans think African Americans all look the same."
The controversial freshman lawmaker's comments were made during a tour of the Detroit Police Department's Real Time Crime Center, which uses live camera footage and facial recognition software to identify wanted criminals across Detroit.

Trump Impeachment Inquiry: Hoaxes & Smears on Endless Loop | National Review
"'Groundbreaking’ disclosures fall apart, hoaxes are exposed, the media are discredited, over and over and over again.
What do the Kavanaugh hearings, Jussie Smollett, the Covington kids, the Mueller investigation, and now the Trump phone call all have in common?
Staged melodrama, media collusion hysteria, progressive demands that justice be served immediately, promises of walls-are-closing-in blockbuster revelations from new witnesses, supposed surprise revelatory documents, fusions between Democratic politicians and Washington bureaucrats — and then bust, nada, and teeth-gnashing as the truth catches up to various rumor-mongers.
The disgraced purveyors of lies — a Susan Blasey Ford, Michael Avenatti, Nathan Phillips, Jussie Smollet, Adam Schiff — for a time go mute, content with progressives’ praise that they lied for a moral cause and almost pulled it off..."
