Meghan McCain told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Republican lawmakers were being a “MAGA sausage-fest” for planning to remove Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her leadership role for “refusing to debase herself to Cheeto Jesus,” referring to former President Donald Trump. McCain said, “What’s going on is Liz Cheney, by the way, was already, by the way, voted in January to stay in her position and overwhelmingly had support to stay when they tried to oust her before. What’s happening is it’s clear. I’m going to be a little crass. They’re shivving her for her going on...

Samantha Bee and Glenn Beck admit they are “strange bedfellows.” But the liberal “Full Frontal” host and the controversial conservative radio commenter are uniting for a common cause ― the fight against “Trumpism.” In an interview broadcast on Monday, the pair revealed what their respective audiences thought about the other. (Spoiler: It was not positive.) Bee then explained why she was speaking with Beck, who has described Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as “cyanide,” and repeatedly spoken out against president-elect Donald Trump. “I think that our future is going to require a broad coalition of non-partisan decency,” said Bee. “It’s not just individual people...

Fellow Conservative, John Boehner’s days are numbered. The bronze and quick-to-cry Speaker of the House has been put on notice. American conservatives aren’t going to take it anymore. This isn’t really news. We’ve known for weeks that a few dozen brave Conservatives were going to try to over throw Boehner. But here’s what we didn’t know last week: Democrats have agreed to save Boehner. That’s right, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have agreed to vote with Boehner not only to save Planned Parenthood’s funding, but also to save John Boehner’s job. You know Boehner’s a RINO when even the Democrats...

'Louche' = dubious, shady, disreputable Seems as if we conservatives are on the same page as Team Hillary, re. John Boehner's principles, morals, and skill set-- if a just-released 2011 e-mail from one of the Clintons' closest advisors is anything to go by: 'Boehner is despised by the younger, more conservative members of the House Republican Conference," (Sidney) Blumenthal wrote to Clinton. "They are repelled by his personal behavior.' 'He is louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle,' he added. 'He is not Gingrich, the natural leader of a revolution, riding the crest into power,'... 'He is careworn and...

DES MOINES, Iowa -- It's one big piece of snack food. What is being unofficially called the world's biggest Cheeto is on its way from Hawaii to a rural northwest Iowa town. An Iowa disc jockey says the super-sized Cheeto is about as big as a small lemon -- not big by most standards, but big for a Cheeto. Bryce Wilson says it's about 5 inches long and 6 inches in diameter. The Cheeto was found in a bag bought by a Navy seaman at Pearl Harbor. He was trying to sell to the highest bidder on e-Bay, when Wilson...
