The Fallout After Cruz Spurns Donald Trump (Opinion)
I waited until the very end expecting Ted Cruz would endorse.  What I witnessed was surreal.  This morning, I saw the word surreal used by several writers describing the event.  A fiery speech and he hit all the applause lines until the end...

A Military Coup to Remove Donald Trump? (Opinion)
Trump derangement syndrome has reached a new low.  A writer in today’s Los Angeles Times recommends the military take-out Trump if he’s elected President.  I didn’t realize the military was quite so fond of Hillary Clinton.  I discussed the issue on Top Story today as well as GOP convention overview and an upcoming visit by Pamela Geller...
