Lindsey Vonn’s galling Olympian-size diss of Donald Trump

Lindsey Vonn, whose name is known within the sports world for Olympic gold medal skiing and without, for dating Tiger Woods, took some serious potshots at the president en route to this February's winter games in Pyeongchang. And in so doing, she pretty much slammed the country that elected Donald Trump -- the country she's supposed to be representing in the Olympics.

Pope Francis, of all people, moans move to Jerusalem

You'd think the pope at least might be in President Donald Trump's court on the whole Tel Aviv-versus-Jerusalem thing -- the announced move of the U.S. Embassy from the former to the latter and the ensuing recognition of the latter as Israel's true capital. After all, the guy's the voice of the Catholic Church. If anyone might rise above lowly human politics to side with the spiritual on this matter, it'd be Pope Francis, yes?

Nancy Pelosi’s idea of ‘Armageddon’ is a GOP tax bill

Armageddon, biblically speaking, is the sign of the end of times -- the be-all and end-all of battles, the one that pits good against evil and ushers in a period of humanly devastations unlike any ever before experienced. But to Nancy Pelosi, the House's highest-ranking Democrat, Armageddon is the Republican tax bill.

Supreme Court travel ban ruling a return to reason

Citizens from Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad -- terror hotspots, all -- and North Korea, as well as segments of Venezuela, are now barred from entering the United States, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling on President Donald Trump's executive attempt to secure the nation and stop the flow of potential terrorists across the borders. Finally, a court ruling with reason.

Colin Kaepernick, bogus hero of the left

Colin Kaepernick is riding high, having just won the Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Award as well as the American Civil Liberties Union's Eason Monroe Courageous Advocate Award -- honors bestowed, respectively, for sportsmanship and bravery. But Kaepernick is possessed of neither. He's more a tool -- a tool of false leftist beliefs.

Donald Trump shrinks national monuments — and with it, Barack Obama’s legacy

President Trump took to the road to travel to Utah to announce a historic rollback of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. And in so doing, he put a serious damper on the legacies of both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Insert cheer here.

Michael Flynn not the smoking gun

The left, including much of the media, are going nuts now, drooling at Michael Flynn's guilty plea as if it's the final nail in President Donald Trump's coffin -- the long-sought means to the impeachment end. It's not. That's ludicrous. And the more hours that tick since Flynn announced his guilty plea, the more ludicrous the left's wild-eyed panting seems.

Mitch McConnell’s abrupt softening on Roy Moore

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a rather sudden turn on his opinion of Roy Moore, telling George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" on ABC News that it's the people of Alabama -- not Washington, D.C. -- who should decide the outcome of this Dec. 12 race for Jeff Sessions' old Senate seat. That, after longtime, long-running, very vocal calls for Moore to step aside. Principle, anyone?

Kate Steinle’s killer should’ve been found guilty of manslaughter, at least

The egregious jury finding of innocence for Jose Ines Garcia Zarate in the killing of Kate Steinle is one of the biggest travesties of justice in recent memory. Garcia Zarate, at the very least, should've been found guilty of manslaughter.

Walmart should sell T-shirt: ‘Rope. Tree. Journalist.’

Walmart just pulled a T-shirt from its sales ranks that blasted the message: "Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some Assembly Require." But why? After all, what's good for the First Amendment gander is good for the First Amendment goose.

Jimmy Kimmel goes all Christiany on Roy Moore — and accepts fight

Jimmy Kimmel, of comedy talk show fame, apparently is a card-carrying Christian who's been so offended by Roy Moore, that he first, sent a character from his show to disrupt one of the Senate candidate's rallies and then, when confronted, jumped on Twitter and late-night TV and agreed to a man-to-man. That's right. Kimmel actually agreed to a fight with Moore.

Donald Trump nails it — Jose Ines Garcia Zarate v. Kate Steinle a ‘disgraceful verdict’

President Donald Trump tweeted that the trial of Jose Ines Garcia Zarate in the killing of Kate Steinle ended with a "disgraceful verdict." And he's absolutely right. No matter the finding of the jury, it doesn't change the fact Garcia Zarate never should have been in America in the first place -- never should have been on the streets of San Francisco.

Nancy Pelosi, Paul Ryan to John Conyers: ‘Resign’ now

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has flipped a mental switch and, instead of defending fellow congressional member John Conyers on his sexual misconduct charges, says he should resign.

Nikki Haley is sticking it to North Korea

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley just issued an oh-so-strong statement North Korea's way, telling the defiant regime its latest missile launch was a war-like act -- and if that's the way Kim Jong Un wants to play it, fine by the United States. But be prepared, she said. 'Cause North Korea will be "utterly destroyed" if war ensues, Haley vowed.

Geraldo Rivera opens mouth, inserts foot

Geraldo Rivera of Fox News took to Twitter to weigh in on the fast-moving Matt Lauer sexual misconduct claims to say, in essence: This is all part and parcel of the dating scene. Unfair characterization? You decide.

Millennials, unschooled in political truths, pine for third party

Apparently, neither Democrats nor Republicans are resonating with the youth of America. But rather than fight it out, millennials want an entirely new system. Fully 71 percent of millennials say the country needs a third political party.

Donald Trump blasts Joe Scarborough over dead intern

President Donald Trump, in characteristic Trump fashion, took to Twitter to weigh in on the Matt Lauer firing -- and other things. What other things? Oh, nothing much. Just the small matter of a dead intern.

Matt Lauer, NBC’s “Today’ face, fired for Olympics-tied sex assault claims

Matt Lauer, of NBC fame, has been fired, the latest in a long -- and ever-growing longer -- list of celebrity males who've been accused of some sort of sexual misconduct.

Obama IG guy flags ‘strategic coordination’ of State, Clinton on emails

Here's something you don't hear every day -- but an inspector general who was actually appointed by Barack Obama told Tucker Carlson of Fox News that there was "strategic coordination" taking place among the State Department, Campaign Team Hillary Clinton, certain key legal minds and politicos on Capitol Hill, regarding the behind-scenes talk of The Emails.

Hillary Clinton, again, suggests misogyny for White House fail

Hillary Clinton just can't get it through her head that the reason she lost the White House in 2016 was that she didn't offer what voters wanted. Once again, she's floundering for reasons. Once again, she's talking up the woman angle.
