Lowest. Ratings. Ever. For Donald Trump, Who Thought Being President Would Have Been "Easier"
What perhaps has been most striking about the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's White House is that he actually thought the job would be easier than he thought. Yes, the 45th president has done a good many things that have led the public at large to scratch their head and wonder what, exactly, President Trump is thinking - certainly, his apparent hypersensitivity on Twitter is cause for concern - but his ongoing hostility to a host of individuals and groups speaks volumes already regarding the overall tone of his tenure.

NaziZombies and NaziZombies 2
Part 1: the takeover. It’s hard to say when it began to fall apart. Some say it began in America during the mid-seventies, when that well-known crook Richard M.

Another Day In Paradise
As one travels through the cities and towns across the United States you see the faceless multitudes drifting from place to place. For you and me it is just another day in paradise. But, for those countless millions all across the country their plight continues unmercifully with no respite in sight. Day after day, night after night those weary souls are just left out in the cold. Their plight has only grown in numbers. As of today in the state of Washington alone there are over 60,000 children roaming the streets. That is just the children that they account for. And, there are thousands more adults, and families seeking shelter each night. These numbers themselves indicate that their is something drastically wrong in our society today. In New York City there are close to 70,000 homeless adults and children and many more encamped in old subway tunnels. The fact of the matter is that in every major city and even in rural areas their is a growing percentage of our population forced into a vicious cycle that is almost impossible to break free.

Trump's ‘Rookie Error’ Revisited
Chuck Schumer asked the question about the health-care bill that no one at the White House asked.

After seeing her image on the promotional posters for the remake of It throughout Los Angeles, courtesy of the artist Sabo, Jenner made an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News, where many television critics said that Carlson basically seemed to be making fun of his guest throughout her appearance.

Pie Falls from Sky
The truth is simple. Everything which was once flavour of the month, will eventually leave a bitter taste in the mouth. Popularity is a fickle creature which gives with one hand, while taking away with the other. With this in mind,we are beginning to see widening cracks in the once invisible SNP armoury. They are so obsessed with independence, they aren't focused on the real world anymore.

Trump Has "Kind Of Disappointed" Caitlyn Jenner
Caitlyn Jenner appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on April 24 in the former The O'Reilly Factor time slot, and host Tucker Carlson delivered a bombastic hour that would have done former Fox host Bill O'Reilly proud. The hour was filled with arguments about transgender rights, and defense of Jenner's vote for Donald Trump, and lots of bluster. It was clear, right from the start, that Carlson looked up to the man who once held the time slot that Carlson was taking over.

Rape Victims Benefited from an Ordeal
Benefit of BREXIT? Following the new Brexit regime, the benefit cuts will have a huge impact, but particularly on rape victims. It is reasonable to limit tax credits to two children but then allow it for a third child if the child was the result of rape. Proof of the rape will be asked for, and claimants would have to complete an eight page document.
