Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has serious psychological issues with President Trump. She loses her cool and childishly acts out in settings like the State of the Union address and White House meetings where decorum dictates responsible behavior from the person second in line to the presidency. Pelosi’s latest example of her pathological hatred of Trump is reported by Politico in an article on how the COVID stimulus deal finally came together this past weekend. Trump has refrained from directly negotiating with Pelosi, instead having Treasury Secretary Mnuchin deal with the Speaker. That has not softened Pelosi’s psycho-hatred...

Breaking news from CNN: President Trump got two scoops of ice cream with his chocolate cream pie, whereas everyone else only got one. This crucial piece of information was revealed in a TIME Magazine interview with the president. Seriously: Who cares? It's ice cream. Good for him. He's the president of the United States. There are so many more important things to either freak out about or report on, yet for some reason we're running with the president's dessert habits. No wonder nobody trusts the media any longer.

Former Olympian and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner was on The View Wednesday to talk about their new book and how they felt about Donald Trump. While criticizing Trump’s record on transgender issues, Jenner said they still identified as a conservative for issues like national security. Jenner’s answer prompted one host to excitedly ask Jenner to run for political office. The interview began with host Whoopi Goldberg asking about Jenner’s relationship with Trump: WHOOPI: What can you say to him that says, ‘Listen. You need to remember. We're all Americans here.’ How can you help us? Jenner responded that Trump’s ruling...

Not The Onion: a school district in Texas has banned sunscreen from schools due to the fact that they're afraid children will eat it. The North East Independent School District has the restriction because it considers sunscreen toxic, and fears kids will eat it, parent Christy Riggs, of San Antonio, told Fox News. [...] School district spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor told ABC News that allergic reactions to sunscreen are one of the numerous reasons the district does not allow sunblock in its 72 schools. “We don’t want students sharing sunscreen,” Chancellor told the station. “If students get it in their eyes...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So, ladies and gentlemen, we are having a record-breaking cold snap in many parts of the country. And right on schedule the media have to come up with a way to make it sound like it's completely unprecedented. Because they've got to find a way to attach this to the global warming agenda, and they have. It's called the "polar vortex." The dreaded polar vortex. Do you know what the polar vortex is? Have you ever heard of it? Well, they just created it for this week. Actually, there is a piece. I've got a piece in...

The specter of school shootings has brought a too-typical staple to local newspaper sections: the boys disciplined at (or suspended from) grade school for bringing a toy gun or anything resembling a gun. The Washington Post just found the latest wild overreaction, from Calvert County, Md., a blue state that's cracked down on gun rights. "A kindergartner who brought a cowboy-style cap gun onto his Calvert County school bus was suspended for 10 days after showing a friend the orange-tipped toy, which he had tucked inside his backpack on his way to school," according to the family. Post reporter Donna...

Loud, frightening noises, America:   Ratcheting up the rhetoric on the eve of Vice President Joe Biden‘s visit to a South Florida senior community, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz today likened Republican Medicare proposals to “a tornado through America’s nursing homes.” Said Wasserman Schultz: “The Romney-Ryan budget would be devastating to seniors and older Americans. It is a Republican path to poverty that would pass like a tornado through America’s nursing homes where millions of America’s seniors receive long-term and end-of-life care.” Yikes.  We must prevent these tornados of hate from tearing through nursing homes, scattering old people's...

"A firestorm of outrage from women after a crude tirade from Rush Limbaugh," said NBC anchor Brian Williams. This was followed by a reporter who said: "In 2012, the personal is political. What began as a debate over religious freedom has devolved into what some call a 'war on women.'" The "outrage" over Rush Limbaugh's "misogyny" provides the latest examples of the liberal vs. conservative double standard and the selective indignation of the left. Limbaugh criticized the congressional appearance of Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law student who supported requiring even religiously affiliated institutions to provide "free" contraceptives. "So, Ms. Fluke,...
