In February 2010, just about a full year after Barack Obama took office, a series of billboards mysteriously popped up along Interstate 35 in a town called Wyoming, Minn. They showed a photo of a waving President George W. Bush, flashing a cheeky grin, above copy that said, "Miss me yet?" The meme quickly caught on and soon plastered car rear bumpers, T-shirts and posters. But despite the viral spread of "Miss me yet?" merchandise, it turned out that the answer was decidedly: No. America, by and large, did not miss President Bush yet. He left office with a 33...

First daughter Tiffany Trump has unveiled a new White House portrait in which she’s wearing an ivory Gemini dress from one of her go-to designers, Taoray Wang. The photo was taken by White House photographer Shealah Craighead on April 2, during the Easter Egg Roll, where the Georgetown Law student joined her father, President Trump, and other family members. The off-the-shoulder dress received mixed reviews from commenters. While many called her “gorgeous,” “beautiful,” “elegant,” and “stunning,” some questioned if the style was appropriate. “Is this an ironic presentation in some way? Why is the coat off the shoulder? You’re in...

Canadian YouTuber and right-wing activist Lauren Southern has been detained in the United Kingdom and has had her phone and passport taken from her.

The phrase "haters gonna hate" is too "banal" to be copyrighted, a US judge has declared. Judge Michael W Fitzgerald made the comments while dismissing a copyright case against Taylor Swift. Songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler sued the star last year, arguing her single Shake It Off stole from their composition, Playas Gon' Play. They said the chorus of her song relied on their lyric, "playas, they gonna play, and haters, they gonna hate". Although short phrases are generally immune from copyright claims, the writers argued that combining the two thoughts was original enough to warrant protection. Fitzgerald disagreed...

On Sunday, actors and actresses walked the red carpet at the 75th Golden Globe Awards mostly wearing black. The blackout was in conjunction with the “Time's Up” initiative aimed at combating the sexual harassment and assault within the entertainment industry. While many of the celebrities wore black, there were some who opted to wear some different colors. Blanca Blanco, for example, chose to wear a bright red gown instead of darker shades.

Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany broke from Republican talking points last week when speaking to conservative students at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit. “When you look at that red map, you should not feel alone. Your liberal peers are snowflakes,” she said. “Liberals are coddled and never have to make an argument. This is why they can’t do it on the big stage.” That remark garnered thunderous applause from the audience of students. McEnany told students that age should not hold them back from pursuing their political goals. “Whatever you want to do, don’t be afraid to ask...

First Lady Melania Trump has kept her Christmas wardrobe in the color-theme of her husband’s historic populist campaign: Make American Great Again red. All season long, Melania has opted for fashions dipped in rich reds that complement her Eastern European features and tan skin complexion, while matching the now internationally recognized “Make American Great Again” baseball caps that became the signature political statement of President Trump’s 2016 presidential election. For the White House Christmas tree lighting ceremony, Melania chose a red tweed Chanel coat with pointed nude Christian Louboutin stilettos. This was only the second time the First Lady had...

Mrs. Trump also appears to be wearing a white coat. The Santa hat appears to be a filter added to the photo, and not an actual hat. The First Lady also posted the photo on her Instagram account.

A radiant Melania Trump visited a children’s hospital earlier this month, continuing a tradition that has been carried out for many years. After touring the hospital, the first lady sat down with Santa and answered questions from a small group of patients before reading the “Polar Express.”(snip) The day made for a myriad of touching and festive photos as can be seen while first lady Melania Trump visited Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

I couldn’t tell you a single Taylor Swift song. I know everyone says that, but really, I couldn’t. And for a while I didn’t know which one was Taylor Swift and which one was Katy Perry. But I know now, and for the worst possible reason: politics. Perry, you will recall, ferociously backed Hillary at the last election, at the urging of her foolish management team. She isn’t now talked about for much else. As a host, she was a car crash at the VMAs, which I watched her stumble through from my ringside seat at The Forum Las Vegas....

December birth baby Taylor Swift is finishing 2017 in grand fashion. She just turned 28 and has the best-selling album of the year, a feat that was accomplished just one week after its release. Young, rich, talented, and the world is hers...what's not to be happy about? According to liberal America, everything.

Pop star Taylor Swift apparently struck a nerve with leftists and Internet trolls this week after she said she “couldn’t have asked for a better year” in 2017 and thanked her fans in a birthday Instagram post. “I love you guys so much,” Swift captioned a photo taken at a recent London concert. “I couldn’t have asked for a better year, all thanks to you. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Can’t wait to see what 28 will be like. See you on tour.” That simple message was apparently too much for some Twitter users — and at least a...

Taylor Swift may be young, gorgeous and more successful than 99.8 percent of us, but she’s still a failure in the eyes of some. Why? Swift isn’t using her pop culture platform to tell us how to vote. Nor is she joining the celebrity chorus weaponizing the Charlottesville neo-Nazi rally to attack President Trump. In short, she resists. And it’s driving select members of the media to distraction. It all started in the weeks before the 2016 presidential election. Nearly every other celebrity publicly cast their vote for Hillary Clinton

The first daughter attended the White House pardoning ceremony for the National Thanksgiving Turkey yesterday in a short leg-baring outfit, stealing the spotlight from the two turkeys being granted a second chance — Wishbone and Drumstick. For the occasion, Tiffany wore a short red tweed peacoat with hints of pink. She must have been wearing an even shorter dress or skirt underneath, as her legs were bare and accentuated by black pumps. The public was in large part shocked; multiple news outlets have reported not on the event, but on Tiffany’s outfit. Hollywood Life called her jacket “very short” and...

She may be only 47, but she sure doesn't look like it. First lady Melania Trump sports a body enviable to most, but when it comes to her diet, that slim figure might actually be quite attainable. Some older interviews about her personal life have recently resurfaced, offering the public just a teensy bit of insight into the life of the notoriously "private" FLOTUS. A former model, Melania is of course no stranger to a healthy lifestyle. She strives to eat seven pieces of fruit a day, all of which offer her the vitamins and minerals for her hair and...

Sarah Palin spoke out against sexual harassment in the workplace on Thursday, but said personally hasn't experienced any incidents because people know she is carrying a weapon."I think a whole lot of people know I'm probably packing, so I don't think there's a whole lot of people who would necessarily mess with me," the former Alaska governor said while speaking to MSNBC's Kasie Hunt on Capitol Hill. “I don’t mean to be lighthearted about it; this is a serious issue,” Palin added. “It really stinks for women in the workplace that for too long, men have thought they can get...

Tiffany Trump's Nude Dress Is Causing a Shopping Meltdown Tiffany Trump's Nude Dress Is Causing a Shopping Meltdown Tiffany Trump might not be front and center like her half-sister Ivanka Trump, but as one of the president's children, all eyes are definitely still on her. It seems that Tiffany has embraced the spotlight — at least when it comes to style — and recently posted a photo of herself donning a sheer, champagne dress. While we don't know what designer she was sporting, we are fans of her look, which is so in style right now. Taking a few notes...
