I have a new favorite NBA player.

Loved how he finished his answer to Laura Ingraham's 'Shut Up and Dribble' Comment: That's what I say to her, whatever her name is. I don't even know who she is.

Muellers Latest Indictment Shows Trump Has Helped Putin Cover Up a Crime

Hours after Friday’s indictment, Trump issued a statement once again dismissing the Russia investigation for producing “outlandish partisan attacks, wild and false allegations, and far-fetched theories.” But with this indictment—and possibly others—Mueller has demonstrated that Trump, by refusing to acknowledge fully the Russian assault of 2016, has been helping Putin cover up a crime.

Trump's gas tax would wipe out 60% of tax cut benefit for individuals, analyst estimates

President Trump reportedly endorses the idea of a 25-cent per gallon gasoline tax to pay for infrastructure improvements for roads, bridges and highways.

Strategas Research points out that the higher tax, along with expected increases in fuel costs, would take away about $71 billion from consumers, or 60 percent of the expected $120 billion gain from tax cuts.
