We are in unknown territory."

Country star Wynonna Judd is planning to formally contest her late mother’s will which left her entire $25million fortune to her husband. Naomi Judd, who was the long-time singing partner of her daughter Wynonna as The Judds, left her two daughters out of her will in a baffling move. Both Wynonna, 58, and Ashley, 54, did not feature in the will, and did not get any part of her estate, with the Nashville superstar leaving everything to her widower Larry Strickland. The couple had been married for 33 years, with Naomi making Strickland the executor of her estate in a...

Actress and left-wing political activist Ashley Judd tweeted out abortion advocacy group NARAL’s new campaign Tuesday that condemns, as hypocrites, pro-life politicians who are encouraging an end to coronavirus lockdowns. “If they valued people’s lives, they wouldn’t be denying constituents essential healthcare or telling them to put themselves in unsafe situations during a pandemic,” Judd tweeted. “The NARAL Foundation is calling out their hypocrisy.” Abortion political lobbying group NARAL announced it has launched a six-figure ad campaign that targets pro-life politicians and officials who, the group claims, are placing lives at risk during the coronavirus crisis by denying massive vote...

The day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Linda Sarsour ascended the global stage at the Women’s March on Washington. Although not as famous as other speakers — Madonna, Michael Moore, Gloria Steinem, Ashley Judd, Angel a Davis, Van Jones — she is proving to be equally controversial. Sarsour (shown), a co-chair of the march, is a "Muslim feminist" and well-known Soros-funded activist in New York City, where she is executive director of the Arab Amer ican Association of New York (AAANY) and a director of the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), a radical migrant-refugee "rights" organization. She is also, say critics, connected...

Thursday’s New York Times bombshell, which has effectively ended Oscar-winning producer and Democrat super-donor Harvey Weinstein’s career, contains two equally disturbing pieces of news, only one of which the national media will report and explore. The first, of course, involves three decades of sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein, who has released a broad statement accepting “responsibility” for his behavior coupled with the claim that the Times got some things wrong. The second bombshell, the one our national media is already sweeping under the rug, is that for twenty-plus years, many in Hollywood believed Weinstein was abusing his power to procure,...

On Thursday at the Media Research Center’s 30th Anniversary Gala featuring the 2017 DisHonors Awards, liberal actress Ashley Judd beat out stiff competition to win the “Kathy Griffin Celebrity Dumbass Award” with a deranged rant during the far-left Women’s March. Conservative syndicated talk radio host and WMAL personality Chris Plante was the presenter for this category and, after introducing each clip, he allowed audience members to vote for which one of four possible celebrities embarrassed themselves the most in the past year. Once Judd was deemed the winner in a landslide, Act for America Founder and Chairwoman Brigitte Gabriel accepted...

In the safety of the large number of like-minded, pussy-capped women at the "march" held on the Washington Mall, actress Ashley Judd came off as fairly deranged, delivering an over-acted rendition of a rhyme-challenged poem written by a 19-year-old "nasty woman", targeting the evil, misogynist President Trump. It now comes with a sense of irony that the same Ashley Judd was approached and subjected to a very muted example of what Trump supporters and Republicans receive from those on her side of the aisle and it left her "scared". She shared her horrific experience with a post on Facebook.

Actress and left-wing activist Ashley Judd says the “tragedy” of Donald Trump’s election victory is far worse than an experience from her childhood in which she was raped. “It remains for me the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my lifetime,” Judd said of Trump’s successful election. “Raped as a child – bad. Re-raped by a political system that ordains a clown – really bad.” The Divergent star made the claim in a Huffington Post video titled, “Ashley Judd describes being triggered by Trump.” Sporting a so-called “Pussy Hat” popularized by feminist activists, Judd said the same...

Many celebrities spoke there, including Scarlett Johannson, Amy Schumer and Madonna. But by far the most controversial"speech" came from actress and author Ashley Judd. In a wild display many labeled "unhinged," Judd recited a 4-minute poem titled "Nasty Woman," which blasted the United States as racist, homophobic and unfair to women. She also virulently attacked Trump as a Nazi who wants gay kids to commit suicide, imprison and murder Blacks, and oppress...

Remember when there was serious discussion about Ashley Judd running as the Dem candidate for senator from Kentucky against Mitch McConnell in 2014? Maybe cooler heads prevailed, realizing what they would have had on their hands! Check out Judd’s performance at the DC Women’s March today. After cutting off Michael Moore, she proceeded to histrionically channel a diatribe on behalf of a young woman from Tennessee that was laden with Hitler and Nazi references to Trump and the Republicans: “a man whose words are a death trap to America . . . I didn’t know devils could be resurrected, but...

Actress Ashley Judd spoke during the Democratic National Convention this week about protecting the rights of sexual assault survivors like herself. Unfortunately, Judd also gave a passionate plea for legalized abortion on demand.
