    "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star Khloe Kardashian is apologizing after dropping the R-word in a live Instagram video on Thursday.

According to Us Weekly, Kardashian was heard in the video saying to her sister, "Yes, you can, you f–-ing r-----d." And as Kourtney appeared to have more trouble with the devices, True's mom...
  • If Republican advertisers this fall were smart, they'd use this video against the Democrats

    Republican advertisers are really stupid. They are plenty of video, articles, etc. that crazy and unhinged leftists have said and done since 2016 that they can use against Democrats if they want to win in November. Look at this video from James Woods, a crazed soy boy leftist jumping around screaming "No Trump, No Pence". It's sad and funny at the same time.

    It’s not just luxury-home listings that are piling up in New York City. Even units for less than $1 million — within reach of far more people than a Billionaires’ Row penthouse — are hurting for buyers. In Manhattan, the inventory of sub-$1 million apartments surged 27 percent in June from a year earlier to 3,087, the most for the month since 2013, according to StreetEasy. Such listings jumped 17 percent to 2,738 in Brooklyn, and climbed 6 percent to 2,314 in Queens, a borough usually sought out for its relative affordability. Buyers at all price points are taking their...

    With a wardrobe bursting full of outfits and a range of sports cars, it's not surprising Princess Cleopatra Superchill has been named one of Britain's most spoiled dogs. The pooch also feasts on steak for dinner and has a £1,500 pram, with her doting owner Anthony Welsh, 57, having spent a whopping £40,000 on her. The lucky Staffordshire Bull Terrier has just celebrated her seventh birthday, seeing Anthony, from Liverpool, splash out another £1,000, on his beloved pet. Cleopatra was treated to the finest tennis balls, a posh feeding station and her very own custom-made mountain bike in honour of...

    The widely hailed, broadcast, heralded campaign trek of Democrat Party, Socialists/Communists,Bernie Sanders & the new Democrat bright star, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez into the state of Kansas, has clearly revealed that Sanders & Ocasio-Cortez are far from ready for prime time campaigning. Both them made off-course, conflicting comments and certainly, none of their campaign stops were anything to write home about. Their biggest rally attendee numbers were quoted by different Kansas media at 1000, 2,000, 3,000 or 4,000 (Choose your choice). Their performance was poorly flat as compared to a usual, routine, massively attended, great positive energy, POTUS, Donald J.Trump rally (Expect...

    Astute Observations There are two sides to every divorce: Yours and dipsh*t's. The closest I ever got to a 4.0 in college was my blood alcohol content. I live in my own little world, but it's OK. Everyone knows me here. I saw a very large woman wearing a sweatshirt with "Guess" on it. I said, "Left Tackle?” I don't do drugs. I find I get the same effect just by standing up really fast. I don't like political jokes. I've seen too many get elected. The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in...

    “Black-ish” star Anthony Anderson is currently under criminal investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. According to The Blast, Anderson allegedly assaulted a woman last year after an event she catered for the actor. “It’s unfortunate that anyone can file a police report, whether it is true or false,” Anderson’s rep said in a statement to Variety. “The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim.” The Blast cited sources familiar with the situation, who said the woman met with Anderson a second time after the event to discuss future...

    During a fawning Thursday segment with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, MSNBC hosts Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle worried aloud that Americans may “feel like capitalism is working for them” after months of booming economic numbers. The liberal co-hosts pressed Warren on how Democrats will counteract historically good economic numbers. “At this very moment the economy is a winning argument for this administration, for more than just President Trump’s base,” Ruhle complained, “Are Democrats making a mistake by putting forth candidates that label themselves Democratic Socialists or who hold anti-capitalist beliefs when at this moment — Americans feel like capitalism is...

    She isn’t poor, black or Latino, or being pushed out of an affordable inner-city neighborhood turned “cool” by mostly white hipsters with their expensive juice bars, galleries, and heavier wallets made out of recycled ocean plastic and organic fibers. In fact, Shaheen is white and grew up lounging on one of the most exclusive private beaches in South Florida. The town where she has lived for 70 years prohibits juice bars — or any other commercial enterprise. And her family’s waterfront property is currently worth $3.6 million, give or take. Still, Shaheen and some other long-term residents of Golden Beach...

    Melania Trump spent part of Thursday listening to more than a dozen teenagers talk about their best practices to be civil online, while her husband was doing the opposite. The first lady made a brief trip to the Microsoft Innovation and Policy Center in Washington as part of a national child welfare campaign launched this year called "Be Best", which includes teaching children and young people to be good citizens online. Digital courtesy is one of the elements of the first lady's "Be the best" campaign, although her husband is regularly criticized for his own online practices and has turned...
