Team USA men's hockey Olympic Gold medalist Jack Hughes returned to the Prudential Center on Wednesday for the first time since scoring the historic goal that helped Team USA end a 46-year Olympic drought. While the roaring crowd celebrated Hughes, New Jersey's Governor received a reaction worse than the opposing Buffalo Sabres.

After Hughes finished speaking with the...

TEL AVIV — Shortly after landing at Ben Gurion Airport to conduct an interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, commentator Tucker Carlson reportedly uncovered shocking evidence that Israel is controlled by the Jews. "I'm seeing the Star of David everywhere. Why is that?" Carlson reportedly asked his producer. "And I see this scribbly language, but it doesn't look Arabic. I'm familiar with Arabic. Like, really familiar — AHAHAHAHA! This almost looks like Hebrew, but surely not."

President Trump took a moment during his speech to introduce the literal Son of God sitting in the gallery and recognize Him for being the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, but Democrats sat stubbornly in their chairs and would not offer applause. "The Son of God is here, folks, let's hear it for Him,"...

n a career spanning 45 years and 90 feature films, Bill Murray has managed to age like a fine wine, though he prefers vodka.

Called Slovenia, the buckwheat-derived vodka carried at Mondrian Hotel Sky Bar and Chez Jay in Santa Monica (and recently added to the offerings at Upstairs at the Ace Hotel), has “this viscosity that stays on your tongue — it makes...
