Colin Kaepernick has a soul mate in Megan Rapinoe. The two of them could be a pair. Rapinoe announced to the whole world that she would not be singing the national anthem at the games in protest of Donald Trump Soccer star Megan Rapinoe has vowed to continue her national anthem protests while representing the US in next month’s Women’s World Cup — calling it a “good ‘F you'” to the Trump administration. “I’ll probably never put my hand over my heart,” the 33-year-old national co-captain told Yahoo sports.“I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again.” Rapinoe, who already sparked outrage by taking...

The collective outcry by President Trump's critics over his Independence Day "Salute to America" was overblown, according to Marc Thiessen. Previous presidents have used the July 4 holiday to give speeches and hold events, Thiessen said Friday on "The Story." "Of all the stupid freakouts that we've had since DT was elected, this has got to be the stupidest of all time," Thiessen claimed. "There are a lot of people with egg on their face today. "The resistance told us that if we elected Donald Trump, there'll be tanks on the streets, and it was like it was finally happening."...

Well, that was something. Over the course of about 28 minutes of airtime (including commercials) following the President’s Fourth of July event A Salute to America, CNN’s The Situation Room put on one of the most disgraceful displays of liberal media bias, Trump hatred, and slights at America you’ll ever see. Attacking the President like bitter preschoolers, a cast of CNN personalities bashed the Trump speech as a “rudimentary” “eighth grade history” report ripping off of Schoolhouse Rock and Wikipedia to create a work of “jingoism and militaristic virtue.”Here’s the Worst Moments from CNN’s Deranged Assault on Trump’s Fourth of...

Filmmaker Joel Gilbert, the creator of the “Super Trump” billboard that played in Times Square last week, has produced a satirical animated video in which Hillary Clinton is sent to an institution for treatment for being an “Ameriphobe.” An Ameriphobe, according to Gilbert’s video, is “a person who is offended by the traditional, patriotic idea of the United States of America as the exceptional ‘land of the free and home of the brave.’” The video begins with Clinton being admitted to a fictional “Donald Trump Clinic for Ameriphobia” on Jan. 23, 2017, three days after presumably Trump takes the oath...

PARIS: There is good news and bad news for President George W. Bush as he pursues his valedictory tour of Europe this week, according to a new worldwide study by the Pew Global Attitudes Project. On the one hand, the image of the United States has improved slightly in many countries over the past year. On the other, the new optimism appears to be driven largely by the fact that Bush will soon be leaving office. In addition, while the prospect of Bush's departure and the excitement of the U.S. primary contest have helped the image of the United States,...

Here is Gore Vidal, often hailed as the most important literary essayist in America, a liberal maverick, whose languid but always spirited voice of opposition to most US administrations since Kennedy's Camelot never fails to find the keen ears of the European liberal-left. He was asked on Australian radio about what Vidal calls the "Bush-Cheney junta", and how the Iraqis could have been freed from Saddam Hussein's murderous regime without US armed force. His answer: "Don't you think that's their problem? That's not your problem and that's not my problem. There are many bad regimes on earth, we can list...
