This week, MrWilson takes both top spots on the insightful side.

“Michigan Republicans presented a unified strategy and talking points for the November election at an Aug. 22 nominating convention, attacking Democrats as extremists who have failed to improve state education and roads and as responsible for costly and unreliable electricity and unaffordable auto insurance,” the Detroit Free Press reports. “But one name was barely mentioned […]

“Instead of adding new roses, President Trump’s White House Rose Garden is growing statues,” the Boston Globe reports. “Trump put statues of some of America’s founders in the garden just off the Oval Office after he replaced its plush lawn with a white stone patio, turning the historic outdoor space into a look-alike of the […]

Week Thirteen!

The Seattle Mariners have reached the stage of a busted season where they are just hunting around for reasons to smile. This was a 90-win team last season, one that came within a George Springer dinger of advancing to the franchise's first ever World Series. Now they are cru...

Renee Graham: “Harp’s official title is special assistant to the president and executive assistant to the president. But Harp, who reportedly works seven days a week, is really Trump’s main cheerleader.
