Opinion The Democrats Have A Jewish Problem
The Democratic Party has a Jewish problem. This may seem like a ludicrous statement considering that a majority of Jews are hardened Democrats, but hear me out.

Opinion Why Doesn’t The Media Call Out The Left For Its Hate?
Republicans are long accustomed to the media’s probing questions about the less than savory members of their party.
