Declining to participate in the Fox News debate -- which Sanders had agreed to -- is another clear sign that Clinton and her top aides are fully focused on the general election against Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

I think this will be a good thing for the U.S. I am pretty sure that there are enough people who want to fight for our country's freedom so why do we need to keep paying more and more for the military? I don't think they are going to take all of the money the military has.

"Turn about" fair play? Or are the "progressives" being hypocritical in their own business practices? https://reason.com/reasontv/2018/05/15/seattles-amazon-tax from the libertarian viewpoint

The Westboro Baptist Church, the controversial group known for protesting outside funerals of slain U.S. service members, announced that it will picket a vigil for the victims of Friday's Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the second-deadliest school shooting in American history.

I hope they lose their tax-exempt status. Here's an article with more information on their 501(c)3 status and how they could lose it. http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/westboro_baptist_churchs_tax-exempt_status_challenged_20121218/ Personally, I think their protests are clearly staged with the intent to influence politics. (They want gay marriage outlawed)

well if the parents know they are gonna protest have the funeral be private so they can't protest

Summary of the address to the nation last night. Can you find items that show a Liberal ideology? Link to the full speech text can be found @ http://goo.gl/bTTr0 (with a cool Wordle) What did you guys think?

The "Buffett Rule" is one of the most interesting subjects from the speech. Raise taxes on rich, but keep taxes the same from middle and lower class. Yes, this would absolutely help America get out of debt, but I do not believe that this would help the middle/lower classes. As the writer said, they need to lower the middle/lower classes taxes to make a major change to out economic situation

So far most of what he is saying makes sense and is reasonable. I just don't think he will follow through with it, seldom do political figures accomplish what they say, how they say they will go about getting things done. He thinks the wealthier people (making $1,000,000) should pay at least 30% of taxes while the 98% of Americans that make only $250,000 a year should pay the taxes we do now, not an increased tax which simply cannot be paid by some.(The Buffett Rule)

It bothers me when people disrespect the American Flag, because the people are disrespecting all it represents. The flag symbolizes are country and the men and women who have fought for it.

I believe that every single American colored or not should stand during the National Anthem to show the little most respect for the ones who have fallen for our freedom.

This is ridiculous

This is really sad and I don't think should ever happen to anyone this is ridiculous and people need to pay attention and start checking and making sure to check there front and back seats even if they don't have any kids.

She shouldn't be having kids. How do you think that you dropped your kid off at daycare if they were still in the back seat. This is ridiculous.

This is pretty biased, but what do you think? I honestly just want the riots to stop, there's a big difference between peacefully protesting and exercising your amendments and burning down buildings and people's livelihoods for "justice".

Yes, you read that headline correctly. I am a Las Vegas oddsmaker (and former Libertarian vice presidential candidate) and here's why I am so boldly predicting a Romney landslide.

Regardless of your political ideology, this editorial has some pretty obvious bias that the author isn't really trying to hide. My favorite is where he implies that criminals and illegal immigrants decided the last election. "Voter rolls have been purged in 2012 of felons and illegals in many states -- particularly Florida and Ohio. Turnout of Democrats will be nothing like 2008.Which brings up another important question. What kind of political party relies on felons and people illegally in the country to win elections?"

I definitely think that they should revise this bill. It was way too overreached that they would outlaw lewd and profane language, because they would have to punish an unreasonable amount of people. I believe they should step back and just enforce the no threatening or offending (the latter to a certain extent).

Twitter is wack anywho!

"Those that give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Ben Franklin would have probably opposed the parts of this law which the article explains.

"A group of legislators in Maryland has introduced legislation that would deny state support to federal agencies engaged in warrantless electronic surveillance in a move aimed at curtailing the National Security Agency's power to monitor and track citizens"

I think the majority of us can say that we aren't too much for government spying on everyone. Glad to hear people are actually trying to change stuff instead of simply talking about it.

"A federal judge in Missouri ruled this week held that drivers have a First Amendment right to flash their headlights to warn other motorists of nearby police and speed traps. "

Motorists flash lights at each other to warn about lots of different things, such as animals on the road, police being nearby, or slick roads. It would cause more harm than good to outlaw it.

I think the person above me says it well. I don't see a HUGE problem with allowing the lights to be flashed in these situations (though I can see why some may be opposed).

"Teaching grownups: Cancer charity says school can learn from girl banned for going bald"

She shouldn't have been punished for this. Why is shaving your head against the dress code? It doesn't make sense.

I've gone to Grand Junction a lot as a kid and know people there, so it surprises me to find out that they are discriminating a cancer patient at a school.
