New York Republican Rep. Peter King had harsh words for Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday, as his home state votes on presidential candidates. “In case anybody gets confused, I’m not endorsing Ted Cruz.

An honest question fro Trump supporters

This month, Lena Dunham, wearing a red, white and blue sweater dress with the word "Hillary" emblazoned across the chest, told voters how Hillary Clinton had overcome sexism in her political career. "The way she has been treated is just more evidence of the fact that our country has so much hatred toward successful women," Ms. Dunham, the creator and star of the HBO series "Girls," said at a Clinton campaign event in Manchester, N.H. But at an Upper East Side dinner party a few months back, Ms. Dunham expressed more conflicted feelings. She told the guests at the Park...

As the hunt for the perpetrators of the attacks in Paris continue, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Monday that he is uniquely qualified to be commander-in-chief because he has an "instinct" for sensing threats. "In my book I predicted terrorism. Because I can feel it," said Trump, speaking to thousands of supporters packed into Tennessee's Knoxville Convention Center. "I can feel it like I feel a good location."

Oh, we can just see it now, Joy will claim that what happened in Paris Friday had nothing to do with Obama, and that it all started during the Bush years. Whoopie will probably take it back to the Reagan years and has her script ready, right? So how many hosts are there? Four? Five?,are they all Democrats? Lets see how long before the first one brings up George Bush as the initial culprit.

Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore is campaigning that her high school change its name away from a Confederate general. JEB Stuart High School in Fairfax, Virginia, was founded in 1959 and allegedly named in honor of the Civil War commander in apparent protest at the Supreme Court's decision to integrate schools. Moore and her high school friend-turned-producer Bruce Cohen are demanding that the school rename itself, and started a Change.org petition that had already amassed more than 28,000 signatures as of Monday night. The school formerly included the Confederate flag on its basketball court and in its school symbol. Moore said...

A shopper perusing the merchandise at the Redwood Country Flea Market was so offended by a vendor selling Confederate and Nazi historical memorabilia, the person actually called 911. Wallingford, Connecticut police were dispatched to the flea market to investigate. The police chief William Wright tells News 8 “the reason no one was arrested was because the items were being sold on private property” — not to mention no laws were broken. “There was a table set up with this material,” Wright says, according to Journal-Record. “It’s not criminally illegal, but obviously it offended this person. It causes some people a...

The Confederate battle flag has been a hot topic in the news over the last few weeks. Some government organizations have taken the flag down, and Walmart made the landmark decision to remove all Confederate battle flag items from stores. However, one side effect of removing the flag from culture has led to the removal of popular Dukes of Hazzard products from stores. Now, TV Land even says it will no longer air any episodes of the classic series.

The Navy is weighing whether to have Marines hitch a ride on foreign warships, citing a shortage of U.S. vessels due to recent budget cuts -- raising bipartisan security concerns about the leverage this could give other countries.
