"The View" host Joy Behar took her anti-Trump talk to another level on Thursday, posing the possibility of the president being charged with hate speech in the wake of Wednesday's controversial rally. Behar kicked off the comments by saying she does not understand how President Trump could "get away with" attacking freshmen congresswomen the way he had, before launching into the next part of her diatribe. "Why can't he be brought up on charges of hate speech?" Behar asked. She then wondered why the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has repeatedly sued Trump's administration, hadn't sued the president over...

I know that this headline is alarming, but it is actually a direct quote from a notice that was recently posted in a Kroger supermarket. And as you will see below, similar notices are being posted in the canned vegetable sections of Wal-Mart stores nationwide. I would encourage you to examine the evidence in this article very carefully and to come to your own conclusions about what is happening. At this moment, social media is buzzing with reports of shortages of canned vegetables all around the country. But so far, the mainstream media is being eerily quiet about all of...

Short video: Comedian Terrence K. Williams is straight up indignant about accusations of racism directed at the President by the "Squad" of freshmen congresswomen: AOC, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley.

Girl Suspended From School For Refusing LGBTQ Lesson Due To Her Faith Ten-year-old Kaysey and Farrell are both pupils of Heavers Farm Primary School in Croydon, a neighbourhood in South London. Last month, the children, a girl and a boy, asked their teacher if they could be excused from a lesson in which they were asked to color in LGBT “Pride Month” material. Although the children cited their religious objections, he refused and afterward allegedly accused them of “homophobic language.” ****VIDEO IS 8 MINUTES LONG AND FEATURES THE LITTLE GIRL THIS HAPPENED TO.

VIDEO Okay, let's get the big problem with smoking turkey wings out of the way: toughness. Turkey wings are tough. Very tough. However, I was able to smoke this 10 pound batch of turkey wings in a way that eliminated that toughness. One key thing to do is to marinate them for at least 24 hours in mojo marinade. Then take them out of the refrigerator a few hours before smoking to allow them to reach near room temperature. The key ingredient in my rub is the cayenne pepper which gives it that special spicy kick so you can feel...

When Donald Trump, in a formal meeting with Senators, referred to Haiti and African countries as “s***holes,” it renewed a cycle of accusations and denials that has devolved into a kind of minor league sport. Is our president a racist? Our wrangling over this question exposes an odd quirk of American life. Most people cannot define racism. And many who understand it resist confining the term to a definition. Swedes apparently have 25 words for snow. In a cold, damp climate, snow is a force that shapes their life. It makes sense that they would evolve language to express its...

A few weeks ago, the University of Michigan Hospital launched an investigation after a supposed noose was found on an employee’s desk. Now the investigation has concluded after finding that it wasn’t a noose at all. Is anyone surprised? The university’s Division of Public Safety and Security released this statement: DPSS statement on investigation of possible hate crime at Michigan Medicine Following an extensive investigation, the University of Michigan’s Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS) has concluded that the rope resembling a noose found at University Hospital was not the result of a hate crime. On June 20, 2019,...

The word coming out of Belmarsh Prison in London is that it's two most famous prisoners ended up being close enough in their solitary confinement cells to talk to each other. Danny Tommo, who's been a channel of communication for Tommy Robinson to the outside world, tweets that a prisoner was moved into a cell above Tommy's and it was none other than Julian Assange....

Because Trump said stuff over the last few days that has singled out the four noisy horseladies of the Apocalypse (H/T the late Wesley Pruden), everyone is leaping to their defense. Now we have an idiotic and misguided #IStandWithIlhan trend percolating on Twitter. Count me out. I won’t stand with Ilhan for multiple reasons. Immigration: She is a fan of Sanctuary Cities. Ilhan agrees with AOC that the detention centers on our border are actually ‘concentration camps.’ Ilhan voted AGAINST the Emergency Supplemental bill that provided additional funds and resources for those very detention centers. She’s all about humanitarian aid...

Have you seen this? Beauty queen stripped of her title for political opinions.Apparently Kathy Zhu, who was born in China and immigrated to the U.S. with her parents when she was five, was dumped for holding what pageant organizers consider to be out-of-the-mainstream opinions about hijabs, black on black crime and other “insensitive” statistics. Miss World America's State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive. They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and "insensitive" statistical tweets. pic.twitter.com/K1Btho0Pgq —...

CNN political analyst April Ryan on Wednesday evening lamented that Democrats cannot find “the kryptonite” to take down President Donald Trump after a North Carolina crowd at Trump’s rally chanted “send her back” when Trump was discussing Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) anti-American and antisemitic “screeds.” (snip) “No one has found the kryptonite for this president,” Ryan told CNN’s Don Lemon. “We have seen time and time again you think you have something. You throw a piece of spaghetti up against the wall. And it just falls off.” When Lemon mentioned that House Democrats “saw internal polling showing the best argument...

Miss a Shot at a Big Buck Last Fall? Now's the to to get that Rifle Dialed in – Here's One Expert's Game Plan Complaining or simply beating up on yourself about a shot you missed last fall is not going to solve your problem. July is here, and with it are those long, lazy, mild late spring and early summer evenings that you can spend at the range, and if you're lucky, you'll bump into old pals and enjoy some therapeutic conversation and trigger time. Making excuses for not being able to take this time seems to be a...

Kristy Swanson accused President Trump's critics of hypocrisy Thursday after they accused him of racism following last weekend's "go back" tweet. “The same people who are screaming racism & are defending the Squad have been attacking the color of Trumps skin & telling him to Leave since day one!” Swanson wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning, appearing to refer to the mockery of the president’s tanned face.

Presidents, like most politicians, don’t apologize. They don’t admit mistakes, either. President Trump just did both. By saying he “disagreed with” and “wasn’t happy” with the audience chants of “Send her back” at his Wednesday rally, Trump effectively walked back his own tweet that went too far. On Sunday, he had criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar and three other rookie Democrats by saying they should “go back” to their home countries. The president took an enormous media and political pounding for those words, and Democrats in the House voted to condemn his comments. Some Republicans also complained, as did daughter Ivanka...

"I disagree with it by the way....I was not happy with it. I disagree with it...I didn't say that, they did" Part of what President Trump had to say about his supporters shouting "Send Her Back"..... Comments of condemnation coming from the President of the European Council.... In stronger terms than that at the Montreal news conference was Canada'a Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.... In Japan 33 have died in an arson attack on anime studio in Kyoto..... And from the Syrian war the claims from various sources related to it.... Also from the war in Syria the horrible story of...

“Look at that beautiful baby, look at that beautiful baby,” Trump said, pointing at the baby as the crowd erupted into cheers. “Wow, what a baby. What a baby! That is a beautiful baby! That’s like from an advertisement, perfect! Look how happy that baby is! So beautiful, thank you, darling. Adherents of the QAnon theory also believe that Trump drops hints to his followers that the Storm is coming, a practice they refer to as “breadcrumbing.” For this reason, Trump’s gushing acknowledgment of Bailes’ and Riselvato’s daughter was viewed among the Q contingent as one of the biggest breadcrumbs...

The news wasn’t just a shock to the country, it was a shock to Wen herself. “I just learned that the @PPFA Board ended my employment at a secret meeting,” she tweeted. “We were engaged in good faith negotiations about my departure based on philosophical differences over the direction and future of Planned Parenthood.” That “good faith” ended abruptly when the president of America’s abortion giant found out she was fired. One of those philosophical differences, sources say, is that Wen happens to believe women’s health care is for, well, women. “Two sources told BuzzFeed News that Wen refused to...

(snip) FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN HOST: Well, what's striking is the president's defense now is that this is not racist because all he is saying that these Congresswomen are radicals who hate America and constantly criticize it. And what is striking to me about that is the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump was singular, almost unique as a presidential candidate in just constantly trashing America. Donald Trump's message during the 2016 campaign was America is a terrible place. We're losing out to everybody. Everybody's treating us badly. His inaugural address talked about American carnage. The rally he's at in Greenville that he's...

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday he “was not happy” with the crowd at his campaign rally for chanting “send her back,” after he had goaded the North Carolina audience with a fiery attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar. "I was not happy with it. I disagree with it. But again, I didn't say that. They did. But I disagree with it," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding that he “started speaking very quickly” in an attempt to silence the rally attendees. Prior to the audience at Greenville's East Carolina University breaking into their chant Wednesday night, the president tore...

Trump shoots, he scores. Trump unloaded on the "Squad" the other day and it galvanized democrats who ran to the defense of the four America hating Congresswomen- even the ones who don't particularly like them: It takes no small amount of skill to get, say, the centrist co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus, Rep. Josh Gottheimer, rising in defense of his four progressive Democratic colleagues who comprise “the Squad.” But our president has a way with words. Over the course of a weekend, the political conversation shifted from whether the House Democratic majority was collapsing from the inside to whether Republicans will...
