  1. Yes. The New York Times is biased and has a double standard. Unfortunately, so do conservatives who objected to Clinton’s character but now endorse Trump. The actions of Falwell, Huckabee, Carson and others who endorsed the sleazy lunatic mean the Right can never raise character issues about a Democrat again.

    The Obama administration is shoveling out regulations nearly one-third faster in its final year than during the previous three — all to beat a May 23 deadline to prevent a President Donald Trump from overturning them.

    A total of 195 regulations have been pushed through since Jan. 1 at an estimated cost of $69.5 billion to the nation’s businesses, according to the conservative American Action Forum.
