The House vote to supply migrants soap and shampoo at the border detention centers with a $4.6 billion relief bill is nearly a week old, but Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are still sniping about it. Pelosi and most Democrats voted 'yes' on the no-brainer, given that they advocate for illegal immigrants and supposedly care about them. Ocasio-Cortez, though, and three of her most extreme congressional comrades, voted 'no.' The end justifies the means, see, and in socialism, human beings are mere matter, a means to the socialist objective, and of course, perfectly dispensible. So now the two are fighting...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit back at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over Twitter on Saturday night after Pelosi knocked the freshman lawmaker for not voting with moderate Democrats on a spending package passed by Congress last week. Earlier on Saturday, Pelosi took aim at progressive congresswomen Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) after the four voted against a $4.6 billion spending package recently passed by Congress that sought to remedy issues at the southern border. In an interview with the The New York Times, Pelosi said she believed the four lawmakers made themselves...

Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Sunday criticized the New York Times for its coverage of former Trump White House communications director Hope Hicks, accusing the paper of framing her decision to comply with a congressional subpoena as a “Lifetime drama.” Hicks was subpoenaed last week to turn over documents and testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of the panel’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump and his associates obstructed justice and engaged in public corruption. In the article, titled “Hope Hicks Left the White House. Now She Must Decide Whether to Talk to Congress,” reporter Maggie...

for mocking her being on Time's most influential list Michelle Obama’s inclusion on Time’s list of the 100 most influential people was met with some grumbling from conservatives, but it paled in comparison to the hit job Fox News host Laura Ingraham had in store for fellow honoree Chrissy Teigen. During Wednesday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle, the conservative TV personality took aim at Teigen, whom she described as being “known for her vicious attacks on President Trump.” She also mocked the cookbook author’s qualifications for being on the Time 100 list, dead-panning that liking to eat was “innovative.” Ingraham...

Ramin Setoodeh, author of "Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of 'The View'" described a power clash between the two panelists as the root of their beef. “I don’t think she liked to be challenged,” Setoodeh told Jenny McCarthy of Goldberg. “I think she had the most problems with Rosie O’Donnell because Rosie wanted to challenge her and wanted to change the show. Rosie felt like Whoopi was kind of checked out.”

A new rumor has landed online that echoes my own concerns about the Captain Marvel movie and Brie Larson, but this is claimed to be coming from on top -- as high as Disney CEO Bob Iger. The rumor claims that the Avengers cast, or certain members of the Avengers cast, is unhappy with Brie Larson being the face of the MCU going forward. It's said one particular actress - hinted at it being Elizabeth Olsen - feels that they are getting pushed aside, that they are getting treated differently.

Washington Post fashion critic Robin Givhan is acting like a very badly disguised editorial writer again. On the front of Friday's Style section, she attacked Trump's fashions in Texas under the headline "Fashion crisis at the border." The headline after the article jumped inside to page C2 was "Trump's choice of attire was a disaster." Liberals love pretending that Obama's only scandal was he once wore a tan suit. But criticizing how this president dresses is easy, low-hanging fruit. It's a yawn. So Givhan has to dress up the fashion chatter with screeds about Trump's fact-mangling and fear-mongering.

Melania Trump wears jacket with 'I really don't care, do u?' on it to visit border facilities On Thursday, Melania Trump made a surprise visit to the Texas border near Mexico. The first lady, whose stylish outfits tend to draw more attention than her actions, seemingly made a conscious decision to wear a subtle outfit for the trip.

However, her casual look still managed to...

**Extreme language warning** As historians in the future look back at 2018 and try to separate the fact from fiction, they may be challenged to just divide the odd from the truly bizarre.

It's like that old saying, 'If a tree falls in the woods, how do we get Kellyanne under that tree?' I'm not suggesting she gets hurt. Just stuck." Michelle Wolf...

NBC host Megyn Kelly fired back at Jane Fonda during her daytime talk show Monday, saying the actress has “no business lecturing anyone” on what is and isn’t appropriate in the public eye. Ms. Kelly had an uncomfortable moment with Ms. Fonda in September on her talk show “Megyn Kelly Today” after she asked the actress about her past plastic surgeries, which Ms. Fonda had been outspoken about while speaking with other outlets. “We really want to talk about that now?” Ms. Fonda asked at the time, changing the subject. She later complained to ET Canada that the line of...

Stage and screen star Sir Ian McKellen has spoken out about the sex scandal in film and theatre,claiming women are partly responsible because some tell directors they'll sleep with them to win roles. 'People must be called out and it's sometimes very difficult for victims to do that,' the Lord Of The Rings star said in a talk at the Oxford Union recently. 'I hope we're going through a period that will help to eradicate it altogether. But from my own experience, when I was starting acting in the early Sixties, the director of the theatre I was working at...

What to do with the rundown, dangerous and divisive Evangeline Thruway is a critical open question facing state transportation officials planning an elevated interstate connection through the heart of Lafayette. The Department of Transportation and Development is considering two options: keep the basic structure in place as a frontage road, or reinvent a portion of the roadway as a pedestrian-friendly “Grand Boulevard.” The thruway cordoned neighborhoods to the east when it was built in 1963, and the boulevard idea aims to reconnect those neighborhoods to downtown commerce. State officials and their consultants said a decision will come within a year....

NBC "was treating this like an episode of 'The Apprentice,' in which (Donald) Trump stars and ratings soar," Radar quoted Clinton's book. "Lauer had...

Piers Morgan clashed with sacked L'Oreal transgender model Munroe Bergdorf on Good Morning Britain over her statement that 'all white people are racist'. Morgan marked his return to the show with a fiery interview opposite Bergdorf, who made the headlines last week after she was fired by L'Oreal Paris for a lengthy Facebook rant. During the post she fumed: 'Honestly I don't have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people.' Morgan took the model to task over the comments and said they were 'deeply offensive' and a 'load of rubbish'. Bergdorf...
