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?

MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough slammed the left-wing violence in Berkeley, California, over the weekend, saying there's nothing "anti-fascist" about using force to shut down free speech. (MSNBC)

Joe Scarborough agrees: Donald Trump’s U.N. speech a winner

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, normally no fan of Donald Trump's -- to put it mildly -- nonetheless came out in defense of the president's speech before the United Nations. In short, Scarborough actually liked it. Check the skies for flying pigs.

Colin Kaepernick: Apologize

Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback known these days more for his on-field displays of anti-Americanism than for his tossing skills, now says he's ready to play. Well, isn't that special. No apology? No play. That's what I say, anyway.

In this June 30, 2014, file photo, customers walk to a Hobby Lobby store in Oklahoma City.

Hobby Lobby cotton creation causes cries of racism

A new controversy has erupted in the left's ever-expanding war on racism, and this one is so ridiculous that even the left ought to be shaking heads in shame. Basically, a woman's claimed a Hobby Lobby art display of raw cotton -- comprised of a few sticks of the fiber stalks shoved into some glass jars, with the fluffy white spilling from brown branches -- is racist.

Then-Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort talks to reporters on the floor of the Republican National Convention at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

Paul Manafort wiretapped — and suddenly, Donald Trump’s not so crazy

Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, was being wiretapped by feds -- not just once, but twice -- as part of an FBI investigation into his dealings in Ukraine and Russia. The secret surveillance took place at a time when Manafort was in contact with Trump, all the way into 2017. And with that, Trump, who claimed that his Trump Tower had been wiretapped by Barack Obama in the lead-up to the election, is suddenly no longer the crazy dude the left made him to appear.

Donald Trump, the right guy to rein in the United Nations

President Donald Trump took the United Nations to task in recent remarks at the global body's New York headquarters, telling those attending a special forum on "management, security and development" that the entity was in dire need of reform. It's about time America snipped the U.N.'s wings.

Google slapped with antitrust lawsuit

A social media site frequented by conservatives and billed as an alternative to Twitter has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google. Monopoly players, get ready to rumble.
