Rosie O’Donnell has never minced words when it comes to her disdain for Donald Trump. But now, the former talk show host has a song or two for the 45th president of the United States. O’Donnell is jumping on a bus on Monday in New York City to head to Washington, D.C. to perform musical numbers with a team of Broadway actors at the Kremlin Annex, a three-week-old nightly protest against President Donald Trump in front of the White House that encourages participants to be so loud that they hope the president will have trouble sleeping. Variety caught up with...

“Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon,” Mr. Trump tweeted late Friday night. “He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!” “Mike” was an apparent reference to retired NBA legend Michael Jordan. In an interview with Mr. Lemon on CNN, Mr. James said he feels that the president is “using sports to kinda divide us.”

WILKES-BARRE — Police took a 73-year-old Wilkes-Barre woman into custody during a protest against President Donald Trump outside Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday. Andrea Glod was the only one among several hundred protestors who refused police commands to move off Highland Park Boulevard by the Interstate 81 exit ramp, minutes before Trump’s motorcade arrived. The roadway was blockaded and guarded by dozens of police officers, including state troopers on horseback, as most of the crowd moved the protest onto the side of the road. Glod stood her ground. “It started with a young state trooper who said, ‘You have to...

Oh my God we had a doozy yesterday during a hearing on child separations on the Hill. The Senate Judiciary Committee asked officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement about the policy and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) seemed to know jack about our current immigration laws. I mean, basic stuff, like the fact that it’s a federal crime to enter the United States illegally. Matthew Albence, the Executive Associate Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations for ICE, had to give Hirono illegal immigration 101 after the latter said she was “confused.” Yes, you read that right; a lawmaker was confused that...

In the shadow of the federal building named for late Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, a fierce advocate for civil rights, seven Bay Area residents have spent the better part of two days abstaining from food in protest of immigrant children detained and separated from their families at the United States-Mexico border. And the hunger pangs are only just beginning.

On Saturday, several vegan activists gathered at a popular fishing tournament to protest eating meat. The Wilmington Fish Save and North Carolina Farmed Animal Save organized the protest, called Vigil for Fish, to raise awareness about animal rights during the annual Wrightsville Beach Inshore Challenge, which pays out over $15,000 in cash and prizes to fishermen. “We’re vegan activists, and we want to bring awareness to what fish go through," said protester Daniel Veber to WCET. “Look at it from this fish’s point of view. If you were in your home, you would not want a hook to be hooked...

It was only a matter of time before the liberal media’s derangement got so out of control that they would start accusing the entire conservative movement of working for Russian interests, and it finally happened. During Sunday’s Meet the Press, NBC moderator Chuck Todd used the recent indictment of Russian national, Marina Butina to suggest that not only was the National Rifle Association infiltrated by Russians but “all levels of the conservative movement” were as well. Earlier this month, Maria Butina was arrest by the FBI on suspicion of being a Russian agent trying to lobby politicians to ease sanctions...

Last year after the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton took in a lot of theater in New York, as she attended shows like Sunset Blvd., and Come From Away, where she received standing ovations for just being out in public instead of the Oval Office. Bette Midler recently returned to role of Dolly Levi in the smash hit musical Hello, Dolly on Broadway, taking over for Bernadette Peters, who replaced Midler when she originally left the revival. Midler will remain with the show through the remainder of its run, which ends on August 25, and Clinton decided to see her before...

President Trump is planning a trip soon to the United Kingdom, and this has London’s failed Muslim mayor in meltdown mode. Sadiq Khan has been in non-stop attack mode against President Trump, all while his city is falling into massive decay with soaring crime and unhappy citizens, thanks to his “open door” policy for migrants. President Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani set the irresponsible mayor straight, telling him to focus on his city, and do his job instead of attacking a world leader. From Washington Examiner Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani offered stinging advice to London Mayor Sadiq Khan,...

Can Dick Durbin stifle himself for a bit? The vaunted senator from Illinois is saying one absurd thing after another, putting the jackass back big into the Democratic Party label. Seriously, get a load of this first one from the senior senator from Illinois : A top Democrat in the Senate said his vulnerable colleagues from red states "understand" that fighting to stop President Trump's Supreme Court pick is more important than getting re-elected in 2018. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., was pressed on this "dilemma" that Democrats face as the 2018 midterms approach during an interview on NBC's...

LONDON -- A giant 'Trump Baby' balloon is set to be flown close to the UK Parliament during US President Donald Trump's visit to London next week after the Mayor of London gave the go-ahead. And just recently, the organizers announced the blimp is going on a world tour. The organizers wrote on its Crowdfunder page that "people have been SO generous and supportive that we now have WAY more money than we can sensibly spend just on Trump's UK visit in July!" “So - Trump Baby is going on World Tour!” the organizers wrote. “All the details are still...

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said the Trump administration had trapped children in a “bureaucratic cave” with his zero-tolerance policy on immigration which caused some families to be separated after crossing the border illegally. Referencing the children being saved from a cave in Thailand, Durbin said, “Before I get into that, our hearts and prayers are with those boys in Thailand, trapped in the cave. I hope our hearts and prayers are also with thousands of children, toddlers and infants, removed from their parents by the Trump administration, under zero tolerance. They’re trapped in a...

Can you imagine if a guest on Joy Reid’s show mocked Mohammed for having married a cousin? Or proposed a ban on immigration by Pakistani Muslims because over 50% of them marry first cousins, something that has caused serious health problems for their children? Or said that people who hire someone who married a cousin are unfit to lead? Reid would surely have shut such a person down, as is her habit when it comes to guests saying things she finds objectionable. Yet on Reid’s MSNBC show today, guest Tiffany Cross, head of The Beat DC, said: “The fact that...

“With slow wage growth, rising health care premiums, and skyrocketing gas prices across the country, Donald Trump’s reckless policies are hurting millions of hardworking families. Trump and Republicans in Congress have been so determined to undermine workers that they held a Supreme Court seat hostage for nearly a year in order to nominate an aggressively anti-union justice, who became the deciding vote in last week’s disgraceful decision in the Janus case..."

**SNIP** While politicians consider whether or not they’d support a nominee who opposes the 1973 decision that legalized abortion, some women have a strategy to drum up support for a woman’s right to choose: the #Lysistrata2018 movement. Named after Aristophanes’s ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata, in which women refuse to sleep with their warring husbands until they agree to a truce, the movement is the brainchild of author and political journalist Jennifer Wright. In a tweet posted on Monday, Wright suggested that single women stop dating and having sex with men expressing anti-abortion views. Women could indicate their stance by adding...

Sen. Kamala Harris, California Democrat, ignited fireworks on social media by stating in a Fourth of July tweet that the Declaration of Independence was signed by “eight immigrants.” “A reminder this Fourth of July: it was eight immigrants who signed the Declaration of Independence. Happy Independence Day,” said Ms. Harris, whose message was echoed by others. Critics accused Ms. Harris of politicizing the holiday celebration with a faulty comparison to the current political debate over illegal immigration. “In case you were wondering, the answer is yes. Democrats will politicize everything,” said the conservative website Twitchy. “Kamala Harris doesn’t so much...
