Mary is the resident libertarian. She covers stories in every vertical, but her favorite thing to do is take on the media. She saw its bias against the right when she was a socialist.

Mary loves the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks, tennis, cats, Oxford comma, Diet Coke, and needlework.

I find it funny how everyone now loves Utah Sen. Mitt Romney because he has become one of the louder voices against President Donald Trump. McKay Coppins wrote a loving profile of Romney in The Atlantic, which also included the senator groaning about Trump's use of Twitter. Except...it seems like Romney enjoys Twitter more than he let on.

"Right now, Netanyahu says he is going to take Israel in a direction of increasing settlements, [but] that does not move us in the direction of a two-state solution," Warren responded when asked what her stance was on aid and settlement-building.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent told Congress on Tuesday that in 2015 he raised concerns about Hunter Biden sitting Burisma Holding's board. He feared Hunter working for the company "would complicate efforts by U.S. diplomats to convey to Ukrainian officials the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest." The office of then-Vice President Joe Biden brushed him off.

2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) will still not admit the middle class will see higher taxes with Medicare for All. Warren's arrogance overflows on this subject even after two opponents called her out on the national stage on Tuesday. Instead, Warren has decided to review "the revenue options suggested by the 2016 Bernie [Sanders] campaign along with other revenue options.

The far-left played Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. HARD. She announced today she will not bring an impeachment vote to the House floor. As she stumbled in her explanation, she threw out, "All roads seem to lead to Putin with the president." Um, the impeachment inquiry is in regard to Ukraine, ma'am. You know, Russia's foe.

How do I economy? A business needs to make a profit in order to stay in business and provide goods for customers. I also think people do not realize the size of Target, which means a lot of people making $15 an hour. Reality runs deeper than Target's size, though. You have to take into consideration the continuous changes happening in the retail sector.

2020 Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) once again showed off her lack of self-awareness. Warren, who tried to pass herself as Native American, mourned "America's mistreatment of indigenous peoples" on Monday since it's Columbus Day. Did she say this to herself as she looked in the mirror?

Republicans and Democrats have always kept their eye on Ohio because the state generally votes for the winner of presidential elections. The state has not only on four occasions. But now it seems the Democrats have brushed aside the key state, especially with their rush to impeach President Donald Trump. An Axios focus group, which took place in an Ohio county Trump lost, found that impeachment has outraged voters in Ohio.

The protests outside of President Donald Trump's Minnesota rally took a violent turn as supporters left the Target Center. I guess the supporters triggered the anti-Trump people just by their presence because they then burned Trump memorabilia like the MAGA hats, confronted the police, and threw urine.
