Ruth Bader Ginsburg tosses gender card: Sexism gave Trump win

No doubt sexism played a role in handing Donald Trump the White House this past November -- at least, that's the word according to Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- Hillary Clinton's new bestie.

Roy Moore win — a movement that has elites shaking

Roy Moore just beat Luther Strange in the Republican runoff for Alabama's U.S. Senate seat, by roughly 10 percentage points. And now both Democrats and the establishment wing of the Republicans are shaking in their boots -- or at least, they ought to be.

NFL ratings fall as fans make clear: Quit the politics

So NFL players have a right to kneel during the national anthem -- true. But NFL fans have a right to buy or not buy tickets, and watch or not watch games. And it's the latter that's speaking loudly now. Soon enough, fans -- not spoiled players -- will win this political brouhaha.

Ron Johnson, R-Wis., watches as they speak to reporters at the Capitol as the Republican-controlled Senate was unable to fulfill its political promise to repeal and replace "Obamacare" because of opposition and wavering within the GOP ranks.

Obamacare repeal is dead

Gee, what a surprise, this headline from The Washington Post: "Senate GOP effort to unwind the ACA collapses Monday." At this point, Americans are starting to catch on -- Republicans aren't actually going to repeal Obamacare. Never.

NFL politics, a test for the media — and a solution

If NFL players have a right to on-field free expressions of speech, then that means pro-life players can take a knee during the playing of the national anthem to show solidarity with all the babies who could have been, save for America's legal rubber-stamp of abortion.

"Somebody's Gotta Do It" host Mike Rowe said, "I think there's something in there with gun control and the whole conversation around guns." (Associated Press/File)

Mike Rowe’s timely reminder: Citizens true bosses of NFL

Mike Rowe, the guy of "Dirty Jobs" fame, issued some scathing criticisms against the NFL and -- well, and pretty much everyone else tied to the whole football protest movement. No, really, Mike, tell us how you feel.

Cornell University students move to ban ‘hate speech’

A Latino student at Cornell University overheard somebody chanting, "build a wall," so now the student government passed a resolution condemning "hate speech." Whatever that is. Seriously -- what is hate speech?

Alejandro Villanueva, hero of the NFL

When the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to stay their sorry selves in the locker room during the playing of the national anthem at Sunday's game, the entire NFL fanbase, minus the Friends of Colin Kaepernick crowd, gave a collective sigh -- a heavy, frustrated, "here we go again" sigh. Then came Alejandro Villaneuva.

Donald Trump: Deliciously impolite

Politeness is so overrated. President Donald Trump's naysayers have come out in full force in recent days to blast his tough-talk speech to the United Nations as bombastic, and his Twitter firings at North Korea's Kim Jong Un as dangerous. But the truth is: Keeping the world powers on its collective toes is good for America.

Jimmy Kimmel, elitist pro-Obamacare mouth, is at it again

Jimmy Kimmel, the Hollywood comedian who turned into a pro-Obamacare mouthpiece a few months ago by speaking emotionally of his son's medical condition, is at it again -- this time, snarking it up on the televised stage how stupid Republicans are, how stupid the Obamacare repeal effort is and how very, very "phony" is the "little creep" from Fox News, Brian Kilmeade.

Donald Trump faulted for fueling global love for Iran

The reverberations of President Donald Trump's first address to the General Assembly are still sounding, and the latest from the naysaying side is this ridiculous suggestion -- that his bold remarks on the Iran treaty have actually jumpstarted sympathy for the regime.

Scott Pruitt, in fight for EPA life — literally

Scott Pruitt, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has apparently generated so much controversy that radical green peeps are threatening him with near-regularity, to the point he's now getting extra armed protection. Seriously, folks, some perspective, please. Are trees that important?
