(WHAS) Newsweek doesn’t shy away from criticizing President Trump in its latest issue. Emblazoned on the issue’s cover: “LAZY BOY: Donald Trump is bored and tired. Imagine how bad he’d feel if he did any work.” The cover features an illustration of the president sitting in a recliner with junk food, his phone and a remote. It also notes that in the six months Trump has been in office, he has spent 40 days at golf clubs and seen the passage of zero pieces of major legislation.

Three hours after Fox News announced it had suspended host Eric Bolling following allegations that he had sexually harassed female colleagues, a former Fox News guest leveled new accusations against him. Caroline Heldman, who appeared on the network frequently between 2008 and 2011, said Saturday that Bolling was one of three Fox News/Fox Business employees to subject her to sexual harassment.

It seems clear that everyday conversation in America has become coarser in recent years, but it doesn’t mean that the typical Hollywood film laced with language your grandmother would have punished with soap reflects reality or even makes good economic sense, contends a prominent film critic. In fact, a new Harris poll shows that filmmakers who use the f-word and take the name of Jesus Christ in vain risk losing some of their audience. The poll confirms extensive, in-depth surveys by Ted Baehr’s family-friendly publication Movieguide that examine some 150 different criteria that affect box office receipts. “One of the...

Like many young women, Ria Cooper dreams of one day getting married and having children. But the 23-year-old knows the odds are stacked against her. Not only because she was born a boy, but because she has now switched gender an astonishing three times in her short life. Ria – who was born Brad – became ­Britain’s youngest sex-swap patient at 15. Doctors controversially backed her belief she was a girl in a boy’s body. She was given blockers to stop her going through puberty, followed by injections of female hormones to impede face and chest hair and trigger the...

The new Bernie Bro Book is coming out later this month:According to publisher Henry Holt, the former Democratic presidential candidate advises young people “to fight for a progressive economic, environmental, racial and social justice agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides healthcare for all”. Wow, doesn’t that make your head spin?If I understand the book’s format correctly it’s a graphic novel on how to complete the communist transformation of America. Originally illustrated by Barack Hussein Obama, this edition contains all new Bernie Bro graphics. The book features helpful infographics and illustrations in the hopes of breaking...

Popular Conservative pundit and NRA spokeswoman, Dana Loesch, has released a new video calling out the New York Times for their bias, dishonesty and subservient compliance with the Democrat party. She berates them for being complicit with their “Democrat Overlords” and lets them know that the NRA now firmly has them in their sites. The NRA has in recent history been very politically active; casting their support for candidates is often a good indicator of the candidate’s likely success or failure, but to actually target a News Agency is quite a big leap. And this isn’t a one-off. Just last...

**SNIP** "I am not ashamed to admit I am more afraid than ever,” writes novelist Meredith Russo. For novelist Mira Jacob, the moment evoked the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001: “At four [a.m.], I bolted awake with a surge of fear I have not felt for fifteen years.” And writer Nicole Chung recalls how, that evening, she and her husband “would remain up for hours, alternately swearing and reaching for each other’s hands in bleary and increasing panic.” Stanford University scholar Jeff Chang emphasizes how Trump capitalizes on such emotions — “fear is the lubricant of demagoguery,” he says —...

In the FBI’s files on Hillary Clinton, it appears she was issued a subpoena for a Federal Grand Jury. The case was stopped from moving forward. This was early in 2016 BEFORE the election. Clinton was under investigation for serious crimes yet still allowed to run for President because Obama may have prevented the investigation from going forward.

On Friday internet sleuth Kim Dotcom dropped a bomb on Twitter. Kim posted an email Friday showing Loretta Lynch using an alias to contact DOJ officials. The Department of Justice released hundreds of emails to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) this week in the investigation of former AG Lynch’s secret meeting with former President Bill Clinton. One email shows Loretta Lynch hiding her identity from Department of Justice officials. Melanie Newman from the Department of Justice leaked it in the email. And— AG Lynch (Elizabeth Carlisle) then responded with a “thanks to all who worked on this.”

**SNIP** However, the group and other supporters of Calexit believe such financial risk would be worth it, particularly given that California’s political leanings are so at odds with the current administration and that California sends more tax dollars to the federal government than any other state. “We feel that California has been neglected and left out of the political process for many, many decades,” Gonzales told the Bee. “With current politics the way they are, clearly there’s a recognition that many in the United States have disdain for Californians. They call us ‘out of control.’ So this is a time...

In a Facebook post published Friday, Craig “Sawman” Sawyer, a Marine veteran, former Navy SEAL, sniper, combat instructor and the owner of Tactical Insider, warned of a “gruesome massacre” if President Trump is removed from office. “I’m hearing serious rumblings of a hostile, illegal coup against our democratically elected President by seditious, deep-state subversives funded by Soros & other globalists. Very disturbing,” he wrote, adding: Patriots, this would be nothing less than an act of war against the American people. It would be the removal of our boldest defender & last possibility of maintaining our protective Constitution. Under the boot...

Catholicism was introduced in Eastern India in the late 19th Century in the State of Jharkhand as it is called now by Pioneer Belgian and Dutch Jesuit Missionaries. The most prominent of them was Father Constant Lievens S.J. -- The Apostle of Chotanagpur. He arrived in Ranchi -- The Headquarters of the Chotanagpur Plateau in 1885. He did not know at that time what the future held for him in terms of evangelization and as a Missionary Pastor too. With strong faith in God, he started educating and evangelizing Animist Oraon Tribals in Ranchi and in the surrounding areas too....

Forward, a website claiming to inform American Jews, has published a hit piece on President Donald Trump, his staff, and his supporters. In a piece entitled “19 People Jews Should Worry About More Than Linda Sarsour,” author Steven Davidson singles out the president, advisers Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka — listed twice — and Morton Klein, president of Zionist Organization of America, in the same article that includes the head of Hezbollah and Iranian dictator Ayatollah Khamenei. Sarsour, a Palestinian-American, anti-Israel activist, and organizer of the Women’s March the day after Trump’s inauguration, called for “jihad,” or holy war, against the...

Security Council imposed new sanctions against the country's rogue regime. Tillerson is in Manila for an annual summit hosted by Southeast Asian countries collectively known as ASEAN. He’s meeting with regional partners, including Russia and China, just days after North Korea tested its second intercontinental ballistic missile in a month. The new sanctions were drafted by the U.S. in consultation with China and passed unanimously at the U.N. Saturday....

By now most discerning political followers have identified the ideological source of the attacks against HR McMaster.  A widely diverse community of domestic America-Second interests that have come together, in common ideological purpose, to attack President Trump’s National Security Advisor. Sadly these interests often use the divisive label of antisemitism to attack people behind policies they disagree with.  It is an unfortunate, albeit historically predictable, approach.  Specifically because of the agenda behind these attacks,
