An estimated 60,000 people gathered in and around Daley Plaza at 11 AM this morning, including a marching band, voter registrars, Captain America, and a family who might have been Aztec warriors. The heat index was above 100 degrees, but thousands stayed through the hour-long rally and the march afterward. (The column of marchers was so long that as some were returning to the plaza at the end of the 15-block route, others were still just leaving.) There was a handful of speakers, though the crowd was so vast that their voices didn't carry very far. One young woman spoke...

"This president is the subject of a criminal investigation," Booker said. "Here you have a president that's making a whole lot of loyalty tests and other things from people." While Special Counsel Robert Mueller told Trump's lawyers in March he is under investigation, Trump is not considered a "criminal target," . . . Booker testified as a character witness on behalf of his colleague Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.), when he was on trial for public corruption for accepting bribes from his long-time friend Dr. Salomon Melgen, in exchange for political favors.

The news cycle about President Trump’s immigration crackdown is hitting Rachel Maddow hard: The MSNBC anchor broke down on camera at the end of Tuesday’s show, getting so choked up that she couldn’t continue.

As Kristinn Taylor of the Gateway Pundit reported, a protester ‘got very close’ as he threw Russian flags at President Donald Trump as he walked though the Capitol Building with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) on his way to a lunch meeting on tax legislation with Republican senators. CBS News posted a video clip of Trump and McConnell walking as the flags were thrown. A voice can be heard yelling about “treason”. Security at the scene was apparently quite lax as the protester had clear aim at the President and it was several seconds before any apparent reaction took...

… a picture of the 2016 electoral college map that was hung on the board, irked that her students continued to remind her of the election’s outcome and that she lived in a red state. She appeared to point to Florida on the small map. Down the hall a few doors, another math teacher, said to be Mexican-American and who was also apparently not a fan of the president, found a “wall” blocking the doorway to her classroom. Throughout the video, the teacher repeatedly stated that she had been warning others that her students weren’t simply “rowdy,” but were disrespectful...

A shooter opened fire on Congressional Republicans practicing for the annual Congressional baseball game at a baseball park in Alexandria, Virginia, Wednesday morning, injuring lawmakers, staff, and law enforcement. It is unclear at this time whether the shooter was killed or is currently in police custody. In the wake of the shooting, lots of people on the Internet lost their minds. Several progressives even went out of their way to suggest the victims deserved to get shot because they have the wrong views on gun control, or Obamacare, or Donald Trump. Here are some of the most insane reactions to...

Celebs who wished the President bodily harm Can criticism of a President go too far? Kathy Griffin’s photo shoot with controversial photographer Tyler Shields in which she is shown holding a bloodied mask of Donald Trump that makes it look as if the President was beheaded has ignited a firestorm of criticism. But Dan Gainor, VP Business and Culture for the Media Research Center, said Griffin's stunt was par for the course. "Kathy Griffin has long gone too far -- even kissing the crotch of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper during a New Year's Eve show," Gainor told Fox News. "She's...

Rosie O’Donnell is back to her old habits—bullying Donald Trump’s eleven-year-old son, Barron. After comedian and CNN pundit Kathy Griffin received huge backlash for sharing a photo of her holding a bloody, severed head of Donald Trump, One America News host Liz Wheeler posted about the impact the photo had on Barron: “TMZ reports: Barron Trump was watching TV & saw @kathygriffin holding the severed head. He thought it was his dad. My heart is broken," wrote Wheeler. O’Donnell, however, was not sympathetic towards the chilling thought of an eleven-year-old boy seeing his father decapitated on TV.

For months since the election the only topic on the mainstream media (MSM) news outlets has been that President Trump somehow stole the election from Hillary Clinton by working in collusion with Russia. This fallacious argument is played around the clock by the MSM and discussed repeatedly ad nauseam by Democrats every chance they get. On Wednesday the headline of the Drudge Report was that Democrats felt they were finally at the place where they could poll test their efforts to impeach President Trump. Democrats can’t do anything without a poll. The Drudge Report’s headline linked to a report from...

Note: Normal people might find some of this offensive. (We hope. Dear Lord, please!) In a week where we’re getting a new Supreme Court justice, the alt-left has been supremely insane. They have moved into a complete panic about the world, blaming the end to their filibuster on divisive Republicans. Somehow they seem to forget a bit of the Supreme injustice they’ve inflicted on various right-leaning nominees. Does the term “Borking” remind you of something? Then, in the aftermath of President Trump’s reaction to Syria, they seemed perplexed. Salon ran with the ultimate, alt-lefty spin: “DID PUTIN GIVE PERMISSION?” Liberals...

However, a mob first protested and later assaulted both Murray and Professor Allison Stanger.

Piers Morgan appeared on HBO’s ‘Real Time With Bill Maher’ where they discussed Donald Trump’s foreign policy. Jim Jeffries compared Trump to Hitler (shocker) and told Piers Morgan to ‘F*ck Off!’ just because he defended Trump. This is why the left lost and will continue to lose; there is no productive discourse.Bill Maher: “The people who said during the campaign that Hillary Clinton was the lesser of two evils, could we get the apology right now?”Piers Morgan: “Why?!”Bill Maher: “Are you serious?!”Piers Morgan: “I’m serious”Bill Maher: “…(Hillary) wouldn’t have a Muslim ban…”Piers Morgan: “Calm down Bill, there is no Muslim...

WASHINGTON—Protest organizers seeking to disrupt President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration want to “instill terror in” law enforcement for “violating people’s rights.” The DisruptJ20 protest coalition hosted a breakout meeting for the organization known as Cop Watch, a group that trains protesters to observe and record law enforcement activity for the purpose of accusing officers of police brutality. “So we don’t want to cultivate a relationship between us and the police where they respect our rights. We want to instill terror in the police of violating people’s rights. And the best way to make this happen is to allow them to violate...
