Recently Bill Maher had ex CIA director John Brennan on his show. Just a few years ago, the left showed skepticism toward massive government spy agencies. Not so now. Bill Maher treated John Brennan like the second coming of Christ. Keep in mind, John Brennan actually aided Al Qaeda. Why all of a sudden, does the left love people like this? I discuss that today. Share the show! See you next week. ...

The amount of blood that was on McCain's hands is immeasurable. The amo...

As things become more polarized and technology moves us even further away from needing...
