Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that he was concerned about a presidential debate because former President Donald Trump "lies and lies and lies." | Clips
To the editor: Buried more than 20 paragraphs into your article on the presidential candidates' instances of dishonesty and mistakes, there is a statement by Joe Biden that is propped up as a lie that justifies this comparison to Donald Trump. President Biden's "lie"? That he visited ground zero in New York the day after 9/11, when he actually went nine days later. Contrasting this misstatement with the torrent of lies and malicious fabrications that flow nonstop from former President Trump, and...

President Joe Biden lies about everything: the economy, Israel, Nelson Mandela and more. It’s up to voters to may him pay the price in November.
Perhaps the author of a recent letter understands how Donald Trump’s attorney general, Bill Barr, put his finger on the scales of justice numerous times and that Trump has promised to do so if reelected, since he believes that’s what presidents do (“Biden is a dictator using agencies to ruin Trump,” Star-Advertiser, April 16). Of course, he laughingly denies Trump ever did it. See the Mueller report or Michael Cohen or Geoffrey Berman as proof of the fact.
After two days of jury selection in his first criminal trial, Donald Trump is expressing some confusion about the selection process. He complained Wednesday on Truth Social that he thought that "STRIKES were supposed to be 'unlimited' when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10, not nearly enough when we were purposely given the 2nd Worst Venue in the Country." Putting aside the offbeat capitalization and venue grousing, let’s clear up the rules that anyone sitting in a...
Jesse Benton’s name might not be immediately familiar to national audiences, so the fact that the Republican operative was sentenced to 18 months in prison might not seem especially notable. But for those who might not remember him, stick with me for a minute because Benton’s career trajectory makes this story interesting. Politico reported late last week: Revisiting our earlier coverage, at first blush, this might seem like a controversy related to Donald Trump, his campaign, and their many...
Hickory dickory dock, Donald Trump stole my stand-up act
We can expect that former president and criminal defendant Donald Trump is going to claim every day — maybe even multiple times a day — that his criminal trial scheduled to begin in Manhattan on Monday was orchestrated by President Joe Biden. Trump used that line of attack at a rally five days before a Manhattan grand jury indicted him on New York state charges on March 30, 2023. Trump said the imminent charges were part of “the Biden regime’s weaponization of our system of justice.” He’s...
The first witness in Donald Trump's trial for alleged "criminal" bookkeeping errors came with National Enquirer-worthy titillations about what a hot commodity the former president was back in the day. Prosecutors thought they'd burst out of the gate with a little razzle-dazzle and T&A, hoping that jurors would believe the witness had anything to do with the actual charges in the case. This is because — spoiler alert — the prosecutors' actual case is a "confusing" distraction. It's the "Seinfeld"...
