Reza Aslan, CNN’s go-to religious guy, tweets Trump’s ‘s—t’

This is religion, lefty style. CNN host Reza Aslan, the left's go-to guy for punditry on all-all-things religious, spiritual and Jesus in nature, took to Twitter to denounce President Donald Trump's reaction to the London terror bombings by calling the White House chief a -- wait for it, wait for it -- a "piece of s--t."

Portland protests show utter hatred of left

A rally in Portland, Oregon, aimed at showing support for President Donald Trump -- and for free speech -- turned nasty and violent after the anti-crowd turned out in full force, carting weapons, bent on creating chaos. And let the media spin begin. The Washington Post kicked it off this way, with a blaring headline that read: "Right-wing free speech rally draws massive counterprotests in Portland."

Why America won’t save the Christians

Saving Christians in overseas' spots from religious-based persecution and murder would require leaders in America to admit some hard political truths -- truths that ultimately would pit cherished First Amendment freedoms against the realities of Islam.

Evergreen State College, racked by racism, shuts over threat

Evergreen State College, the Olympia, Washington, supposed place of higher learning that's been turned into little more than a playground for radical leftist activists, has been temporarily shut, after receiving a threat phoned in to law enforcement. Probably the best thing that's happened to the school for a long time.

Kathy Griffin, of bloody Trump head fame, now plays victim

Kathy Griffin, the sometimes comedian who was just ousted from her sometime CNN hosting slot -- and fired from New Year's Eve broadcasting duties -- after she posed for pictures while holding a faux bloodied head of President Donald Trump, may have apologized for her outrageous behavior. But now? She's playing the victim.

Judicial Watch sues for George Soros funding records

Judicial Watch just launched a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, for records related to taxpayer funding of George Soror-tied political activities. Specifically, the watchdog group wants to know how much of America's tax dollars have been sent to the Open Society Foundation's Albania offices, or FOSA.

MSNBC dings HIllary Clinton for Russian ‘conspiracy theory’

On a recent MSNBC "Rachel Maddow Show" broadcast, NBC's Andrea Mitchell -- a lover of all things left-leaning, if ever there was one -- publicly chided Clinton for blaming her loss on Russia. Wow. When you lose the adoration of the left, there's really no where else to turn.

This screen grab shows a tweet from President Donald Trump which has social media trying to find a meaning in the mysterious term “covfefe.” Trump tweeted just after midnight Eastern time on Wednesday, May 31, 2017: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.” The tweet immediately went viral and became one of the president’s more popular posts before it was taken down after nearly six hours online. Trump poked fun at the typo, tweeting, “Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!” (AP Photo)

‘Covfefe’ tweet leads media to spin Donald Trump’s unfit to lead

Just when you think "covfefe" had fallen from the media cycle -- and bam, CNN brings it back, only this time with a politically partisan spin that somehow manages to take a typo and turn it into a failure of leadership. Want to know why President Donald Trump is unfit to lead? "Covfefe," according to CNN.

Obamas buy $8.1 million fat cat home — their second

Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their two kids have a new home -- an $8.1 million dwelling, the same one they've been renting in Washington, D.C., these past few months. The fat cat's come home to roost.

James Madison school name petitioned for chopping block

Let the history revising go on -- on the heels of tear-downs and petitions for tear-downs of Civil War-era monuments and statues, now comes this: A student at James Madison Memorial High School in Madison, Wisconsin, wants the school's name changed, because it offends. Madison was a slave owner. And that makes the school "unsafe" for black students, senior Mya Berry whined.

America’s colleges: Where the stupid become stupider

Are America's colleges becoming little more than breeding grounds for the next generation of stupid? They very well could be, given all the leftist agitation that marks places of higher learning these days. The smartest high-schoolers may want to rethink their plans and just keep away from college.

Wisconsin college fascists, be warned: Expulsion on horizon

Lawmakers in Wisconsin, the Republicans ones at least, are pushing forward a bill that may very well lead to unruly, disruptive, fascist students on University of Wisconsin campuses -- the ones who disrupt invited speakers and shut down scheduled speaking events -- getting what they deserve: suspension and expulsion.

Massachusetts, California, take your anti-Trumpness and secede

Yet another Massachusetts city has jumped aboard the Impeach President Donald Trump bandwagon, bringing the Bay State total to five. I'm from Massachusetts and even I think the state needs to go. Where? With California -- where four cities have called for impeachment. To some other place, far, far away.

Trump ‘negative press covfefe’ tweet turns Twitter heads

So President Donald Trump sent out a midnight Twitter message that contained a spelling error -- and in double quick time, it became the joke of the world. It was worse -- way, way, way worse -- than when Barack Obama thought there were 57 states.

Barack Obama’s spy games ignored by yawning media

Barack Obama, the president who rode a wave of promises for uber-transparency into eight years at the White House, has apparently been -- well, not. Lucy, I think you got some 'splainin' to do.

Captain America hates on Donald Trump

The actor who plays Captain America, Chris Evans, has launched a fight against President Donald Trump, taking his public platform in a new political direction to talk up how bad the commander-in-chief is to any fan who will listen. Talk about 'dissing your fans. Doesn't Evans know Marvel fans and Trump fans are often one and the same?

John Bolton’s right — Israeli-Palestinian peace ‘undoable’

Former Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said President Donald Trump may have the best of intentions, but his attempts to forge peace between Israel and the Palestinians with a two-state deal would most certainly fail. "It's undoable," Bolton said. And he's very, very likely quite right.
