The media's Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached a fever pitch as journalists call President Trump a liar for claiming that ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was "whimpering" and "screaming" as U.S. forces closed in on him. The New York Times seemingly interviewed everyone with knowledge about the raid, but they cannot confirm the terrorist was in fact "whimpering and crying and screaming" before his death. White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham responded to the Times report in an email by asking, “Is it not possible to just celebrate that a terrorist, murderer and rapist has been killed?” CNN anchor Brian...

Actor Peter Fonda delivered a profane Twitter rant against President Trump’s immigration policies Wednesday morning, saying the president’s 12-year-old son Barron should be taken from his mother and placed in a “cage with pedophiles.” Mr. Fonda, the younger brother of actress and liberal activist Jane Fonda, was responding to Tuesday’s joint White House press briefing with Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen. In a now-deleted tweet, the “Easy Rider” star said Ms. Nielson should be put in a cage naked and “whipped by passersby while being filmed.” In subsequent tweets that have also since been deleted, Mr....

President Donald Trump referenced Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in a series of posts that literally urged the freshman congresswoman to go back to Africa. On Sunday morning, Trump referenced the recent tension between Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the four freshman Democrats who voted against the House version of a border bill — Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). “So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if...

EMMANUEL Macron's government faces a vote of no confidence in parliament on Thursday amid nationwide anger at the French president which has seen violent riots across the country. Mr Macron's leadership is hanging by a thread after the Yellow Vest protests posed the most formidable challenge yet to his presidency. Leftist MEPs said Thursday's vote is the result of 18 months of fiscal injustice and called on the French president to "radically change direction". The Paris protests which erupted on November 17, were focused on denouncing a squeeze on household spending brought about by Mr Macron's taxes on diesel, which...

The Zheng drug trafficking organization was hardly clandestine. The Shanghai-based network sold synthetic narcotics, including deadly fentanyl, on websites posted in 35 languages, from Arabic and English to Icelandic and Uzbek. The Chinese syndicate bragged that its laboratory could “synthesize nearly any” drug and that it churned out 16 tons of illicit chemicals a month. The group was so adept at smuggling, and so brazen in its marketing, that it offered a money-back guarantee to buyers if its goods were seized by U.S. or other customs agents.

San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi looks like he’ll be updating his resume after suffering a landslide loss in his re-election bid last night. \ Mirkarimi was in office when Kate Steinle was shot and killed by Francisco Sanchez, a five-time deported illegal alien. It set off a national debate about sanctuary cities, San Francisco becoming one of them in 1989. In July, Mirkarimi defended the policy, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper that the policy makes the city “safer.” Nevertheless, there were other reasons why Mirkarimi was booted. His tenure was dotted with controversy, one of them, as Katie mentioned, being a...

Former President of the Versailles Jewish Community Samuel Sandler spoke to Arutz Sheva about the special request he would like to make of France's Culture Ministry. Sandler lost his son and two grandsons in a terror attack in Toulouse in 2012. In the interview, Sandler said he had turned to the Culture Ministry and requested they preserve Paris' historical Great Synagogue, since in two or three generations there will be no more Jews who will be able to take care of it. According to Sandler, the synagogue is important even if there are no Jews attending it, and he therefore...

Rose, who organized a “SlutWalk” last October in Los Angeles that ejected Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, then vowed to leave the U.S. with her...

Times have changed at Playboy. Starting next year, the publication long known for showcasing the female physique, will no longer feature models in the nude, according to a report in The New York Times. The decision apparently rose from a meeting with Playboy editor-in-chief Hugh Hefner and an editor at the magazine, amid discussions about a forthcoming update. The Times' Ravi Somaiya writes that now that Playboy has effectively accomplished its founding goal of "normalizing" the female body by introducing women to the world in their au naturel state, the magazine's mission has been accomplished. _______________ Playboy CEO Scott Flanders...
