A gang of Philadelphia teenagers accused of robbing a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Florida while attending a football tournament have been named and shamed by a no-nonsense sheriff.

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) said Sunday that America is “racist AF” which is why “a national movement” was kickstarted “to save Black lives.” “Our communities wouldn’t have needed to spark a national movement to save Black lives if America weren’t racist AF,” Bush wrote online, just two days after she praised a “historic” vote to defund the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department: Bush, who made repeated calls to defund the police, said late last month during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” that she is working to “defund our police departments.” “My push is that we defund our police departments,”...

Former President George W. Bush said on Tuesday that today’s Republican Party is far from what it used to be. “I would describe it as isolationist, protectionist and to a certain extent nativist,” Bush said to host Hoda Kotb during an appearance on NBC's "Today." “Well, that’s not exactly my vision, but you know what, I’m just an old guy they put out to pasture," he added. "So just a simple painter.” The former president also said that he thinks a GOP candidate with progressive positions on immigration laws, young immigrants brought to the U.S. by their parents, gun reform...
