The Salvation Army, the American Red Cross and Susan G. Komen on Friday joined a growing exodus of organizations canceling plans to hold fundraising events at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, deepening the financial impact to President Trump’s private business amid furor over his comments on Charlottesville. The major exits now mean eight of the club’s biggest event customers have abandoned it this week, likely costing the Trump business hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue or more.

President Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on Republican senators, an approach he may regret if he is someday impeached and the Senate has to weigh charges against him stemming from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election. More than half of the 11 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would be central to any proceeding to remove Trump from office, have tangled with the Republican president, including on Thursday when he fired off early-morning tweets. There is little serious talk being heard in Congress about removing Trump from office.

That's the number of hate groups operating in the US, according to data from the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Alabama-based nonprofit activist group tracks civil rights and hate crimes and defines a hate group as an organization with "beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics."

Shall we get on the bandwagon and help remove symbols of racism, bias, and bigotry. The flag and people of the Civil War are being devoured right in front of us. What about other things? Like, for example, race and gender based groups? Maybe we should ask the question, if I cannot substitute White, or Male, then maybe there is a problem with the group?

We saw Donald Trump’s true colors on Saturday, when he was given the chance — a ready-made moment for presidential grace — to denounce the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Va., and instead found wrongdoing “on many sides.” That was Trump minus the pressure and the planning. That was his initial instinct, his first impulse. We saw a different palette at a lectern in the White House on early Monday afternoon, but it was pure artifice, and muted and unpersuasive because of that. We should also note that he began his brief statement on Monday by congratulating himself on the American economy...

Ever since President Trump condemned the violence on ALL SIDES this weekend, the fake news, the RINOs, and the snowflake community has gone batty because he didn't start naming names among the violent. Specifically, he didn't use the words "white supremacy". Odd, since these are by and large the SAME people who attack Trump for using SPECIFIC language "radical Islamic terrorism". Now let us note that the suspect in this case has not been shown to be a Trump supporter. Compare this to the kook from Illinois--James Hodgkinson--who was demonstrably a BERNIE SANDERS supporter. So let's take the path of...

I wish I could say that itÂ’s a shock that someone died in Charlottesville, but IÂ’ve been predicting just this sort of thing in radio appearances for months. The liberal media is dying to blame it all on Donald Trump, but it should look in the mirror. To begin with, the liberal media is almost entirely responsible for growing the Alt-Right merger of hate groups and internet trolls. Most people are well aware of the stifling political correctness that reached an apex under Barack Obama. People are sick and tired of being attacked and scolded by the humorless left-wing thought...

President Donald Trump's mealy-mouthed mutterings on the terrorism let loose in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday are worthy of the hypocrite and instigator of hate that he has proved himself to be. Trump knows what was at work on those streets and who was behind it. As well he should. They are some of the same forces that helped to put him in the White House. Trump's people, also - were out in force in Charlottesville with their hate-filled minds, their guns, and a weaponized automobile. That was your crowd down there in Old Virginia, Donald Trump. They were speaking your...

Sinclair’s two stations in Portland, Maine are making headlines for their ‘must run’ segments. The Press Herald posted a story over the weekend that described the stations as ‘being under fire for pro-Trump’ political segments that run on WGME and WPFO. A politically independent viewer, Marc McCutcheon, described the experience of watching the must-runs as “surreal,” “extremely jarring” and “so out of place with the friendly, local broadcast from news people I’ve come to trust over the years.” There was no rebuttal, no context, no alternate point of view – a situation he found concerning.” According to the Herald: WGME-TV...

Watching news outlets go out of their way to hide a potentially huge Democratic scandal is almost funny. So-called journalists are too busy covering presidential tweets to report on a topic that might embarrass their friends. Welcome to the Imran Awan-Debbie Wasserman Schultz scandal or Compugrab, as I like to call it. Awan was the top IT aide to Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The FBI reportedly “seized smashed computer hard drives” from his home. He was “arrested trying to flee to Pakistan after wiring almost $300,000 to the country,” according to The Daily Caller, which has owned the story...

Democrats are setting new records for just how much they don't like President Donald Trump. Over the last six decades, new presidents have garnered an average 46% approval rating in Gallup polling from the opposing party during the first six months of their tenure. For Donald Trump and the Democrats? 8%. Yes, that's single digits.

On Sunday, Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for President Trump, appeared on ABC’s This Week to discuss the latest developments in the Russia story, particularly those involving the President’s son and son-in-law. Towards the end of the interview, Jon Karl pressed Sekulow about the concerns of presidential pardons, citing the worries of Senate Democrat Mark Warner. But no matter how many time Sekulow explained that he didn’t know the President’s position on the question, Karl kept insisting he was saying Trump was seriously thinking about it. “One last question. Senator Warner says he is concern that the President will issue pardons...

It seems Donald Trump can hardly go anywhere without creating an awkward moment, and his latest has been directed at France’s new First Lady Brigitte Macron. The US president and his wife Melania had just finished a museum tour of Les Invalides with the Macrons, and were saying their parting farewells when Donald approached Brigitte. Looking her up and down, he tells the 63-year-old former teacher that she’s “in such good shape” before turning to her husband and repeating “she’s in such good physical shape… beautiful”.

Just heard our local guy do a phone interview with F Chuck Todd of NBC fake news. Well, the NEWS is that F Chuck Todd admitted in the interview there was NO evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians. But THEN, said F Chuck Todd, NOW there IS evidence.... and NOW Mueller is going to investigate ALL of Trump's business dealings in Russia going back forever!! Unhinged. The hilarity continued when F Chuck Todd asserted Macron "stood up" to President Trump--and this action explains why the media is describing the relationship between the two as a "bromance". F Chuck...

Time Magazine is featuring Donald Trump Jr. on the cover its latest issue with the words "red handed," after he tweeted email correspondence revealing he was open to receiving information indirectly from Russia that would be damaging Hillary Clinton. "How Donald Trump Jr.'s emails have cranked up the heat on his family," Time tweeted with a video of its latest cover. The cover follows the Tuesday release of emails between Trump Jr. and Robert Goldstone, a former tabloid journalist and publicist, who reportedly set up the meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya last year.

Video obtained exclusively by CNN offers a new look inside the web of relationships now at the center of allegations of collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia. The video shows the future President Donald Trump attending a dinner with an Azerbaijani-Russian family who became Trump’s business partners in Las Vegas in June 2013.

WHY, WHY, WHY wasn't the media paying attention then? They now pick apart everything our president says. TERRY ANDERSON, A BLACK LOS ANGELES TALK RADIO HOST, WENT DOWN A LIST OF THINGS SENATOR OBAMA HAS SAID THAT AREN'T EXACTLY CORRECT. 1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles a bout its various untruths.) 2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he...

A member of the House of Lords and former chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation addressed the problem of media bias against Israel during a speech in Parliament on Wednesday, lambasting the BBC for its coverage of recent terror attacks against Jews in Israel. Lord Michael Grade, who was chairman of the BBC from 2004 to 2006, praised his country’s backing for a Jewish national home in the 1917 Balfour Declaration, but lamented that much of the media today feeds false narratives about the Jewish state, while anti-Semites use Zionism and Zionists as a proxy for attacking Judaism and Jews....
