BREAKING: Attempted Reagan Assassin John Hinckley Jr. Granted Unconditional Release Under DOJ Deal

John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate former President Ronald Reagan in 1981, won unconditional release from his state-mandated supervision on Monday.

Are there ANY criminals which this justice department want in custody? If he had attempted to assassinate Obama, would they have done this? No way.

The Reagan Presidential Library has survived the wildfires — environmentalists and political activists hardest hit!

How many of you are sick of this crap? I grew up in California. We have ALWAYS had wildfires. How can anyone be stupid enough to believe these shrill, whiny, lying leftists when they blame this, and literally everything else, on "climate change"?

What Bill O’Reilly’s new book on Ronald Reagan gets wrong about Ronald Reagan - The Washington Post

Bad sources and old misconceptions persist in "Killing Reagan"

This is very interesting. These are pro-Reagan authors slamming Bill O' Reilly's book. I haven't read it yet. I am not sure that I will (not just because if this article, but because I question the scholarship of his books, they are clearly meant for a very mass market).

Internet myth: Ronald Reagan regretted amnesty (he didn't) | The Daily Caller

Americans often bolster arguments with quotes from Founding Fathers or other U.S. political icons. Unfortunately, this practice often leads to quotes being invented to support a weak case. One such invention made its way into Thursday’s Wall Street Journal in an op-ed by Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AK).

This is an older article, but is relevant for today. Many of Donald Trump's followers would have us believe that Trump is a 21st century Reagan. The fact that Reagan was in favor of amnesty is a big problem for them (and others).

Reagan Addresses America After Russians Shoot Down Airliner

On September 5th, 1983, President Ronald Reagan addressed the American public after a Soviet fighter jet shot down a Korean airliner for 'invasion of airspace'.

Remember when presidents actually believed that leadership was part of the job? I mean, I know that Obama has some important pool playing and fundraisers he's committed to, but still you would think he could have mustered something half way decent. Wasn't his speaking ability supposed to be one of the things that was such a big deal about him?
