Actor Tom Arnold is still allegedly holding onto tapes that show President-elect Donald Trump casually blurting the N-word along with “every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever.” Arnold claimed he was in possession of these tapes last week, and while rumors about these tapes’ alleged existence spread before Election Day, they still have not been released, if they exist at all. Plenty of people are getting anxious about these alleged tapes, and they want answers.

According to The Hill, Kelly announced the launch of the group by talking about military members’ commitment to “protect our constitution and homeland.” He suggested political leaders now need...

President Obama said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he “bent over backwards” to give Congress leeway to pass immigration reform. On ABC’s “This Week,” Obama said he has issued fewer executive actions than most former presidents “by a longshot.” “If you ask historians, take a look at the track records of the modern presidency, I’ve actually been very restrained.

Conservatives are having a laugh after it surfaced that the official presidential biographies on the White House website have been updated to inject President Obama into history. But kidding aside, this is a truly disgraceful behavior. In the most egregious example, noted by the Heritage Foundation's Rory Cooper, the official Ronald Reagan biography is appended with the note: "In a June 28, 1985 speech Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multi-millionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffet Rule." (Over at Commentary,...

It's often remarked that President Obama has enjoyed a number of getaways, vacations, and mini-vacations during his 20 months in office. But at a Democratic fundraiser Thursday night, the president said, "I'd appreciate a little break."
