Here is Ann Coulter's latest column.

Jump on It (1976).

I finished reading this book on 16 August 1984. I finished a second reading on 18 March 1998. This is my third reading.

C’mon America. We need to wake up to what our politicians are doing to us. They are playing us for suckers. They are collectively laughing at us whenever they meet in the lounge that I imagine exists in the bowels of the (I fear irreversibly corrupted) Capitol.

They think we are naive, short-sighted and stupid. Politicians on both sides stopped representing us long ago. They are just out to fatten their wallets and stay in power.

How do they do this? By dividing us and painting each side as evil incarnate. (Hitler comparisons, anyone?) This is true of all parties: Democrats, Republicans and, yes, even independents. I am looking at you, Bernie “Multiple Houses” Sanders.

We are smarter than this. Surely, we all know deep down that Republicans do not want to kill grandma and grandpa. Honestly, if we search our feelings, do we really think Democrats are worse with budgets than the other side? The parties are one and the same, working together to stay in power at the expense of the good of the country.

It is time we stand up and shout for a true third-party option.

The failing @nytimes writes false story after false story about me. They don't even call to verify the facts of a story. A Fake News Joke!

Here.

Amazing.

It doesn't matter if you identify as a Republican, Democrat or Independent voter. Does anyone think that drafting a bill in the Senate without any hearings to let the citizens of this country see what's involved in the legislation is the way we should do things?

This is not a minor bill—it will be affecting healthcare coverage of millions of people in the United States.

We have a right to see how it affect our family and others before a vote is rushed through.

The senators not involved in these closed sessions also need ample time to review this legislation.

Why the secrecy and rush job?

Note from KBJ: Where were you, Ken, when ObamaCare was being rammed through on a party-line vote? Do you know what it means to be principled?

So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!
