Straight From The Hart

     ·  Shared with Your friends My column from yesterday's LDR. WHERE IS OUR EBOLA CZAR? Has anyone seen our Ebola Czar? No, not Ron Klain. (Although no one has seen him yet either as I write this on Thursday afternoon. But more about that later.) But I’m talking about the one we have had since 2009. Her name is Dr. Nicole Lurie.

Let me share with you some questions I have been wondering about AFTER listening to the news. Does it seem to you that people like Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff have reached a level of arrogance that we have never seen before? How else can you explain that Schiff had the pomposity to do a parody of the President with regard to a p
