<p>Chris Rock is a savvy businessman. The way he handled The Slap (Slapgate) by Will Smith at last year’s Oscars ceremony is masterful. He performed live on Netflix Saturday night in a show titled “Selective Outrage” and this is the vehicle he used to let the world know his thoughts now on The Slap.</p>

FULL TITLE: BuzzFeed News editor takes heat for suggesting Trump would be more outraged if Sri Lanka victims were white A BuzzFeed News world editor faced backlash Sunday for taking a swipe at President Trump while tweeting an article about the attacks in Sri Lanka on Easter. "Suspect we’d be hearing a lot more outrage from Trump and co. if the Christians killed in Sri Lanka were white," Miriam Elder tweeted with a link to BuzzFeed News. Elder’s tweet, as The Washington Examiner reported, received many more comments than likes or retweets. It had received nearly 3,000 replies, 70 retweets...

It's signed collectively from "your sisters."

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton defended staying in the Democratic nominating contest on Friday by pointing out that her husband had not wrapped up the nomination until June 1992, adding, “We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.” Her remarks were met with quick criticism from the campaign of Senator Barack Obama the comments touched on one of the most sensitive aspects of the current presidential campaign — concern for Mr. Obama’s safety.

Americans viewing the recent failed coup attempt in Turkey as some exotic foreign news story [] should pause to consider that the prospect of similar instability would not be unfathomable in this country if Donald Trump were to win the presidency. Trump is not only patently unfit to be president, but a danger to America and the world. Voters must stop him before the military has to.

Joe Biden - "I guarantee you, Barack Obama ain't taking my shotgun. So don't buy that malarkey." "I got two. He tries to fool with my Beretta he's got a problem" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcyLeOm6yGc

For a few days there it appeared that if a resident of Indiana had chosen to refrain from commerce with another person and was sued for discrimination, this resident could have found legal recourse to defend himself against the suit. This legal recourse was made possible by the passage on March 26th of IndianaÂ’s Religious Freedom and Restoration Act. Such was the media hysteria and attendant calls for economic sanctions against Indiana, however, that a few days later the RFRA was drastically amended. During the four days of hysteria, however, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York Mayor Bill...

The Associated Press NEW YORK —Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told Republicans at a New York state party dinner that he would work for Mitt Romney’s victory in the general election if Romney wins the nomination. “We are dedicated to a unified Republican Party,” he said. Speaking Thursday in New York City, Gingrich said he’s stayed in the race “to articulate big themes and big ideas” but that “we have a moral obligation to defeat Barack Obama.” To that end, he said, he would work to support Romney, and he said Romney would do the same for him. “Romney and I...

Neil Cavuto points out Obama's hypocritical, nonsensical and destructive energy policy in the hard-hitting commentary ending his "Your World" program on the FOX News Channel:

On paper, it was a great week for the left. On paper, Rush Limbaugh swallowed hard and finally did get that piece of humble pie to go down. On paper -- and HBO -- the cool kids, it turns out, aren't finished piling on Sarah Palin. On paper, Newt Gingrich is still in love with the sound of his own voice, Rick Santorum still sees delegate math as one of those things only college snobs care about, Ron Paul is still the crazy uncle you left up in the attic, and what's left of a torn and tattered Mitt Romney...

The high school basketball coach in Ohio accused by some players of using racist language has been relieved of his duties for the rest of the season, reported Fox 8.com. The superintendent said Jason Popp can return to the bench next year after he undergoes sensitivity training. The state-ranked Richmond Heights team was threatening to boycott the rest of its undefeated season if their coach remained in place, Fox8.com reported. Tuesday night's game was postponed after Superintendent Linda Hardwick met with parents over the alleged abuse, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A group of parents had sent a letter...

Black Leaders Ignore Black-on-Black Crime. This article was written in light of the recent murder of the African-American, 16-year-old honor student in Chicago.

The bitter jealously of those wealthier than ourselves is so prevalent, and it all stems from the Democrats. Whether it’s Congress bashing Wall Street for their “greed,” President Hope&Change hinting about regulating private sector executive pay, or the lib media granting endless appearances to the capitalism-hating (but ultra-wealthy) Michael Moore, class warfare seems to be here to stay. And it doesn’t seem to be only nameless, faceless people Americans have been trained like Pavlov’s dog to envy for the sin of having a higher income; just the other day a relative told me, completely casually, how another relative of his...

If there's one thing about liberals, it's that they're predictably predictable. In their eyes, it is more than acceptable to mock Sarah Palin and her family, using descriptions that range from rude to crude. When President Bush was in office, he was the focus of daily ridicule from left-wing journalists and bloggers. However, no one better make fun of Barack Obama or the thought police will express "outrage" and brand you a racist. That's exactly what is happening now as a poster of Obama in "Joker" makeup is popping up on walls and city streets. My question to the lefties:...

Three recent best-selling authors - Christopher Hitchens in "God Is Not Great," Richard Dawkins in "The God Delusion" and Sam Harris in "The End of Faith" - use flawed history to support their arguments. All three assert that atheism must replace religious faith because the past proves the dangers of religion so persuasively that only denying God will save us from the crimes of religion. They offer historical evidence based on a framework that most historians abandoned when it broke down during the great upheavals of the past century. In denying God, they also deny the history of the 20th...

Republican political consultant Angela McGlowan, author of "Bamboozled," is...

One of the side effects of the left's control of the media is that Democratic politicians often have trouble dealing with criticism because they aren't subjected to the 24/7 scrutiny that Republicans usually face. This leads them to fall apart when they come into contact with a reporter that doesn't defer to them like usual. Minnesota's Democratic nominee for the governor's office, Mike Hatch, provided an example of this yesterday in the face of questioning about his running mate's apparent lack of knowledge about the subject of the gasoline additive ethanol. Mike Hatch’s aggressive reputation showed through Thursday for one...

'NYT' Editorial Explains Difference Between Plame and NSA Spying Leaks By E&P Staff Published: January 03, 2006 10:30 PM ET NEW YORK Declaring that "this seems a good moment to try to clear away the fog around this issue," a New York Times editorial for Wednesday attempted to describe the difference between radically diffrent types of leaks. Two of the newspaper's high-profile reporters, Judith Miller (who recently resigned) and James Risen, have been at the center of two very serious current leak probes. "A democratic society cannot long survive if whistle- blowers are criminally punished for revealing what those in...

Thundering silence and selective outrage Wes Vernon January 1, 2006 Intriguing, is it not? The inside-the-beltway liberal establishment was utterly scandalized that someone dared to leak to columnist Robert Novak the name of a desk-bound CIA bureaucrat, Valerie Plame. Surely, that same cabal is jumping up and down demanding to know the identity of the subversive who leaked to the New York Times information on a program to monitor phone calls between al-Qaeda operatives and persons on American soil. No? Thundering silence? Fascinating! Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell kicked off 2006 by noting such "selective outrage" on Fox News Sunday's...

It seems like only yesterday that every high-minded politician, pundit and professional activist was in high dudgeon about the threat posed to national security by the revelation that Valerie Plame was a spook. For daring to reveal a CIA operative's name — in wartime, no less! — they wanted someone frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs, preferably headed for the gallows. Since then there have been some considerably more serious security breaches. Major media organs have broken news about secret prisons run by the CIA, the interrogation techniques employed therein, and the use of "renditions" to capture suspects,...
