ISIS, radical Islam rear at Ariana Grande concert

Twenty-two people were killed and another 59 injured in what British Prime Minister Theresa May is calling an "appalling terrorist attack" at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Arena. And it wasn't long after that ISIS, surprise, surprise, claimed responsibility.

Joe Biden, to run or not run? That is the — yawning — question

Joe Biden, former vice president, spent the better part of campaign season 2016 dodging in and out of the "yay" and "nay" camps on running for the high White House office, before ultimately falling into the latter category. And now, it seems, he's at it again.

F-bombing Trump — the left’s new weapon of choice

Democrats with eyebrow-raising frequency have found a new tool to express their absolute distaste with President Donald Trump: Dropping the F-bomb whenever and wherever possible, in connection with his name.

Iran laughably rips Donald Trump for spreading ‘Iranophobia’

Iran, reacting to President Donald Trump's speech at the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh, called out the commander-in-chief for his blunt rhetoric and accused him of harming Tehran's reputation in the Middle East. Consider this your Monday morning laugh. You're welcome.

Notre Dame snowflakes exit, stage right, for Mike Pence

Vice President Mike Pence's graduation ceremony speech at Notre Dame caused quite a few students -- offended students, apparently -- to exit, stage right, and leave the event. America, meet the graduating class of 2017 -- too weak to listen to countering views.

The art of the Trump take-down

Taking down President Donald Trump has become an art of late -- a national past-time, like going to a baseball game, or barbecuing on the Fourth of July.

Jason Chaffetz’s right: Where’s the memo, James Comey?

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, in a Thursday "Good Morning America" interview, wondered aloud where the now-famous James Comey memos were -- and whether the fired FBI director really was going to release them for public viewing. These are good questions. The American public has a right to see the so-called evidence being used to take down President Donald Trump.

James Comey: Higher-ups never asked for halt to FBI investigations

James Comey, just-fired FBI director, said in a Senate hearing earlier this month that he's never been asked by higher-ups to back off an investigation for political reasons, an interesting remark given the fact President Donald Trump's now being accused of that very thing.

John McCain wildly proclaims ‘Watergate’ at Donald Trump’s door

Sen. John McCain, self-proclaimed Republican but not-so-secret Democrat, came out in full force against his own party's president, saying the many scandals rocking the White House lately are reaching "Watergate" proportions. Easy there, McCain. Let's reel back the rhetoric a bit and consider a more level-headed look at these so-called scandals.

Kimberly Guilfoyle would be great for Trump’s team

Fox News host, attorney and all-around blunt talker Kimberly Guilfoyle has been making the media rounds of late, suggesting personal interest in replacing Sean Spicer as White House press secretary. This would be a great move for the White House -- for President Donald Trump's defense team.

Kara McCullough, Miss USA, changes tune, calls health care ‘a right’

Well, that didn't last long, did it? Social media had been afire with news of the newest Miss USA, black Washington, D.C., representative Kara McCullough, and her conservative viewpoints -- most particularly, the one that went like this: Health care is not a right, but rather a privilege. Fast-forward a few short hours and her mantra now goes: Oops. My bad. I meant health care is indeed a right.

Black UCSC student activists ought to be expelled

Radical black students who are part of "The African/Black Student Alliance on the University of California's Santa Cruz recently stormed one of the campus buildings, tossed out staffers and set up camp, announcing intent to stay unless their list of special interest demands were met. So why were they rewarded, rather than expelled?
