I was a big fan of the original Roseanne during its original run from 1988 to 1997. So, when I learned that Roseanne Barr would be reviving the show and portraying a very vocal Trump supporter, I made sure to catch it.

At one level, nothing has changed about Trump. He still stirs the pot on Twitter, the staffing changes continue, and the sense of turmoil never seems to leave.

Certainly, #TheResistance against Trump has not changed. If anything, the opposition to Trump has gone from foaming at the mouth to … Exorcist-like goo...

As we sit on the edge of April headed into 2018 crunch time, those in the media promising a massive blue wave (Texas primaries anyone?) come November will be forced to contend with data that suggests that this blue wave is nothing more than an over-hyped trickle.

A poll published Wednesday by the American Psychological Association confirmed what most Americans have complained about at some point — the constant onslaught of news stresses people out.

The APA’s ‘Stress in America‘ study set out to identify key stressors and their overall effect on the country’s climate.

Mark Penn, Democrat strategist and former pollster for Bill Clinton during his presidency, is reviled by today’s regressive Democrats.  Happily, his truth bombs land amongst his leftist audience with a fizzle amid looks of scathing disdain.

Penn’s latest attempt to speak truth to the left’s waning political power addresses why, as co-director...

If we judged elections that are over a year (congressional midterms) and three years (presidential) away based on current approval ratings and popularity polling, Donald Trump would seem done for.

Indeed, that is the prevailing media narrative.

Though there was a recent blip upward, Trumps favorability and job approv...

New polling data suggests that there’s a silent majority of millennials (those aged 18-34) who ardently support both free speech and religious freedom.

The Fund for American Studies conducted the poll and found that contrary to what seems like a never-ending stream of headlines touting millennial love of safe spaces, hatred...

As we consider the flood of polls proclaiming that President Trump’s approval numbers are lower than those of any other president at this point in his presidency, a former Clinton pollster and current co-director of the 

Polling conducted by Gallup earlier this year found that the number of Democrats “extremely” or “very proud” to be American is down by eleven percentage points compared to similar polling last year.

There’s been little change in patriotic sentiment for those self-identifying as either Republican or Independent. Gallup first conducted the poll...

Rather than focus on Gorsuch’s judicial qualifications and whether he would interpret and apply the law aptly, Democratic Senators on the Judiciary Committee have chosen to spend their allotted time prodding Gorsuch’s political beliefs.

There seems to be universal confusion in the Democratic camp about the role of the judiciary, and...

The mainstream media is in open warfare with Trump.

Trump is returning the favor.

Who’s winning in the battle for public opinion?

According to a WSJ/NBC News poll released today, Trump is winning.

The Hill reports:

This is some Grade A trolling right here.

A poll conducted by Emerson College found Americans are more confident in the current administration’s truthfulness than the media.

From The Hill:

The Trump administration is more trusted than the news media among voters, according to a new Emerson College poll.

The administration is considered truthful by...

For several years we have been examining Gallup and Pew surveys of attitudes among Americans of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. What we have seen is a trend of overall support for Israel reaching all-time or near-all-time highs.

At the same time, there is a slice of the population in which the support has...

This race is too close to call.

A shift in any state could change the outcome. The Real Clear Politics No-Toss Ups map (Featured Image) has Hillary winning by a few electoral points.

She could win by a few, lose by a few, or win by a lot. It’s that volatile.

Overall, she’s up...

As we approach the final presidential debate later tonight, the polling looks grim for Donald Trump.

In a sense, Trump never really recovered from his post Democratic convention fall, when his public feud with the Khan family wasted what had been a Trump rally after the Republican convention.

There was a rebound for a...

There are varying levels of horrible results for conservatives in the upcoming election.

Based on current polling, it certainly looks like Hillary will be the next president. You can argue whether that is better or worse than the alternative for conservatives, but there is no serious argument that losing either the House...

One of my favorite articles not published at LI this year is the New York Times piece flummoxed by and bemoaning the fact that Obama’s calls for gun control go nowhere and serve only to increase gun sales.

Here’s an excerpt:
