'The Mooch' Is Out—But Why Was He In?
Queen jokes aside, why was Anthony Scaramucci even brought in as communications director? Was he even vetted at all? For starters, consider that Scaramucci was a man who took great pride in being known as "The Mooch." He was telegenic, with a ready smile and an easy mode of talking—things which in many ways former press secretary Sean Spicer lacked. However, even with a fair bit of charm on screen, "The Mooch" was apparently something of the sleaze that his nickname might imply.

How Do Democracies Become Dictatorships?
It's often been said that those who do not fight for freedom should expect to stop having it. In many points throughout history, democracies stopped being democratic — and started being the grounds that helped dictators rise to power.

'The Mooch' Launches Vulgar Tirade On 'New Yorker' Reporter
Anthony Scaramucci, the new White House communications director, apparently has quite the mouth on him. Although "The Mooch" seemed quite serene and conciliatory in his first appearance at the communications lectern, the man who called The New Yorkerreporter Ryan Lizza July 26 was anything but. According to Lizza, Scaramucci wanted to know who leaked information about a dinner that he had with President Trump, the First Lady, Sean Hannity and former Fox News executive Bill Shine. When Lizza refused to reveal his sources to Scaramucci, the communications director tried to appeal to his sense of patriotism.

Republican Senators Open Fire on Trump on Hot Mic
It's finally happened. One Republican senator has ripped President Trump for an apparent lack of knowledge, while a Democratic senator, in an effort to show support, seemed to question Trump's mental stability.

The Scottish Sporran Legion and Other Myths
In the usual way these ideas happen, this was a random SNP tweet to which I replied. Apparently, if Scotland becomes independent, all non believers will be hunted down and thrown over the border to England. Or possibly executed by being made to eat vegetarian haggis and drink cheap Japanese whisky.

Dear Theresa
You may have heard of me or you may not have, but I don't have any qualifications of any sort of politics. I do have to say that I know for certain you need to quit whilst you're ahead, because at the end of the day I know I'm watching every move you make and then BOOM! I'm on the good old iPad with blogs coming out left right and centre; ideas here and there, oh what's that? You've been thrown into the mix as well; into my magic cauldron of horrible politicians who can't get their facts right, or keep their word, changing what they want during the election in the Queen's speech.

Dear Theresa...
Dear Theresa....... When you were given the leadership of the Conservative party and automatically became Prime Minister, I hoped you would make some serious changes in the way your party governed the UK. Unfortunately, even before the calamitous general election, you made many serious errors of judgment.

America at War
Have you noticed that all of the wars that America has been dragged into by our power hungry and heartless leaders seem to go on and on for decades? We never hear of any talks or negotiations or any desire to resolve the conflicts in the middle east and abroad. Afganistan, Iraq, Syria, Isreal, Palestine to name a few. Isreal and Palestine have been bombing each other for more than half a Millennium. We give them equipment to bomb the Palestinians and other countries give to Palestine to kill the Isrealis.

The Camerons Are Way Up Themselves!
Excuse me David Cameron how can it possibly be "SICK" that nurses and doctors want higher wages? You've never known what hard work is in your life. I had huge respect for you and your family when you lost your son due to his condition; but now I don't feel anything for you or your family whatsoever, due to the comments you and your wife have been making.
