Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he found it “deeply disrespectful” that President Donald Trump was allegedly attempting to erase black history by removing “improper ideology” from federal institutions. Host Dana Bash said, “I want to ask you about an executive order that President Trump signed this week. He put Vice President Vance in charge of removing, ‘improper ideology from the Smithsonian Institution, museums.’ The order specifically calls out the African-American history and culture museum. Now, you are the only black governor currently serving, only the third ever elected. What do you make...

Donald Trump had the last laugh on Saturday night as America defeated Canada in a brutal hockey match that saw fans in Montreal boo the US National Anthem again. Anarchy broke out on the ice as three fights in nine seconds saw the game descend into chaos with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau watching from the stands.

Trump also suggested the country could become America's '51st state' and called Trudeau 'governor', prompting backlash from the close...

CHICAGO — A woman accused of shooting a man who became “disrespectful” on a Red Line train in downtown Chicago was given a four-year sentence on Monday. Erica Berry, 39, pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated discharge of a firearm before Judge James Obbish.

Baker added three clown emojis to emphasize the point. Tom Sileo, an author and former copy editor at CNN, said the decision by his former...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Trump have found one thing they can agree on. The governor took aim at members of the media for taking on a “nastier tone” and openly disrespecting the president at press conferences. “The way they question President Trump at some of these press conferences is just — I’ve never heard that tone with the president,” the New York governor told WAMC host Alan Chartock on Monday. When Chartock countered with, “Well, he deserves it, doesn’t he?” Cuomo doubled down.

Watching the military lately is like watching an Evil Knievel 20 bus jump gone wrong; a Wide World of Sports skier careen into a throng of spectators; an out of control freight train laden with deadly chemicals, ready to derail that no one seems to have the ability to stop. The merde is indeed hitting the ventilateur in the bowels of the Pentagon and across the world at US military bases and on US ships of war. It’s safe to say that in the US military, the thrill of victory is long gone and the agony of defeat is here...

Folks, I stumbled upon this article published by the BBC. I invite you to read it. I won't republish it due to its prurient subject matter, and out of a sense of decorum and respect for Our Lord, His Mother, and his earthly father, Joseph.

Each space is only 10 feet by 10 feet, but carries the promise of a big payback. "I...

It is difficult to screw up an appearance at Ground Zero on September 11th. You have to be either completely oblivious or completely indifferent. It is a signal feat of idiocy. And yet Barack Obama accomplished it. John McCain and Obama visited Ground Zero together. Obama and McCain entered the site. But while McCain took the time to shake hands with uniformed firefighters and a construction worker with an American flag helmet, Obama ignored them and stood around. But he wasn’t done yet. Both McCain and Obama brought roses to place on the makeshift 9/11 memorial. Obama casually tossed his...
