President Trump continues to slam spineless Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for complaining that Trump has “excessive expectations.” Well, senator, a lot of us who voted Republicans into power share those expectations – as well as the president’s frustration.“I just want him to get to repeal and replace (of ObamaCare) done,” President Trump said this week. “I've been hearing repeal and replace now for seven years. I said, Mitch, get to work and let's get it done.”Why doesn’t McConnell have the same sense of urgency the president has? It’s why I have said it is time for McConnell to step aside, something Trump was also asked about.“Well, I'll tell you what,” Trump said. “If he doesn't get repeal and replace done and if he doesn't get taxes done, meaning cuts and reform, and if he doesn't get a very easy one to get done, infrastructure -- if he doesn't get them done, then you can ask me that question.”The president's comments came in response to McConnell whining like a 5-year-old, complaining, making excuses to his constituents in Kentucky that the president's expectations are just too high. McConnell doesn’t seem to get that he and his fellow Republicans are the ones who set those excessive expectations. They're the ones who were promised over and over again for seven years they' were going to repeal and replace ObamaCare.Sen. John McCain of Arizona cast the deciding vote that derailed this effort to get rid of ObamaCare. Throw in senators Susan Collins, of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska, and McConnell, who can’t seem to get his people in line, and Americans can see we need new people in those positions.It's time to clean house, put leaders in charge who are going to listen and serve the American people. And while we're at it, as the president suggested, it's time for those rogue senators to lose their chairmanships if they are going to hold the whole party hostage.It's time for Mitch McConnell to get it together or go home, retire, play golf, have a good -- go on a fishing trip.
As sure as the dog days of August, photos from Putin’s summer holidays have arrived, but none feature him and his Judo sparring partners. Perhaps the pictures would reveal too much about how he approaches the world.
Democrats have made drug prices a pillar of their “Better Deal” for the American people. But their plan gets both the drug pricing problem and the relevant solutions wrong.
To keep our freedom, we need to understand how this is affecting us and what we can do about it. Because our government is increasingly turning to Silicon Valley and its one-sided, ideological and thought-controlling technology to gather information about you.

Fact: The United States and its allies in the Asia-Pacific would demolish North Korea in any conceivable military scenario. But just how bad would such a conflict be and what happens when the war is over?
I was channel surfing through the cable news world the other day and I discovered the perfectly-coiffed-hair crowd is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
President Trump is making a dangerous mistake if he is ending a CIA program to arm moderate Syrian rebels, as was asserted by the Washington Post last month.
