Donald Trump dumped on by ex-NBCer, who accuses anti-Semitism

Russia collusion it ain't, but the next scandal that appears to be looming over the White House involves a former NBC producer and his claim that President Donald Trump has been captured on camera making a number of "unfathomably despicable" racist, sexist and anti-Semitic comments.

Donald Trump — decertify Iran nuclear plan

Come Oct. 15, President Donald Trump may decertify the Iran nuclear deal, leaving Republicans in Congress to figure out how to manage the nuclear designs of the rogue nation. Trump should. Decertify away. The pact is nothing but a false hope of the previous administration.

Atheists win right to pray — really, right to mock

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is cheering a recent federal court ruling that allows atheists the right to deliver invocations before local government meetings, same as if they were just another pastor or preacher or priest or true man or woman of God. Of course they're cheering. Atheist rabble-rousers always cheer when they're able to ram their ridiculous suits through court.

ISIS had threatened Las Vegas in May

Authorities say they still don't know the motives behind a massacre in Las Vegas that left dozens of Mandalay Bay-area country concert-goers killed and another 500-plus injured. But back in May, ISIS actually sent out a propaganda video threatening Las Vegas.

Marilou Danley, Mandalay Bay person of interest, ‘proud mom & grandma’

At least 50 are dead and another 400 or so wounded after a shooter set up shop in a hotel across the street from a country music concert at the Mandalay Bay resort and casino in Las Vegas, and began firing at men, women and children attending the event. Radical Islam? Racial tensions? We don't know.

National anthem supplanted by national anger

The worst part of this whole NFL fiasco is that the Star Spangled Banner is supposed to unify, not divide, but that anger has crept onto the fields and stolen even this small show of national peace.

Professors propose ‘privileged identity’ training for traveling whites

A couple of Canadian professors say white students shouldn't travel abroad without first receiving training on their "privileged identity." So whites can't go near blacks without receiving instruction in the proper ways to behave? Somehow, that suggestion seems -- well, racist.

Pope Francis, a man of thee not me

Pope Francis has once again trotted into political territory, calling on the masses to not just feed and clothe but also open border doors and shelter strangers from lands far and away. His words? European nations, all the developed nations, need to welcome more migrants. Well, isn't that special. Now what about Vatican City?
