The comedian announced the news Monday morning in a lengthy note posted to social media, sharing that the cancer is stage 1 and “contained.” “I’ve got to tell you guys something. I have cancer.

The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained...

Some liberals keep ruining the idea that public radio is an oasis of civility and nonpartisanship. Take Bob Collins, a longtime political editor at Minnesota Public Radio. Anthony Gockowski of the Minnesota Sun site pointed out some Twitter savagery from Collins (account name @MyLittleBloggie). Many of his recent tweets are just the usual Democrat hack stuff -- Trump should resign, his supporters are rats. But on Friday, Collins erupted in hate, suggesting Republicans should commit suicide by shooting themselves in the chest.

WASHINGTON -- After all the lectures from the superior folks on the left about the, well, "deplorable" tone of the Trump base, it has come to this: Tuesday morning, middle and high school students booed first lady Melania Trump as she spoke at the B'More Youth Summit on Opioid Awareness. Rather than use the cringe-inducing incident as a teachable moment about civility, which is a focus of the first lady's "Be Best" anti-drug, anti-bullying campaign, progressive pundits applauded the teens' nasty tantrum. April Ryan of Urban Radio tweeted, "Your husband can't disrespect #Baltimore & its late, great leader Rep....

Apple’s App Store appears to be protecting Hillary Clinton from political satire games while allowing titles like “Punch Trump” onto the digital retail platform.

While criticizing Donald Trump for supposedly inciting violence against Hillary Clinton, Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine indulged in a violent fantasy of his own. “You know, I’d like to punch the guy in the face,” Kaine said of Trump. “He is using language that is an incitement to violence or an encouragement of violence or at least being kind of cavalier and reckless about violence, and that has no place in any election…” Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday, had just asked Kaine about Trump’s comment on Friday night when Trump said he thinks Clinton’s bodyguards “should disarm. Take...

IT'S safe to say that Robert De Niro isn't a fan of Donald Trump after the Hollywood actor announced that he would "like to punch him in the face." Speaking in a new clip released by Anonymous Content, the 73-year-old star didn't hold back as he professed his sheer disdain for the presidential candidate, who he branded "a mutt who doesn't know what he's talking about." The video was unveiled during last night's The Kelly File and saw the veteran actor declare his utter contempt for the businessman.

Shia LaBeouf screamed at a man who came to his Donald Trump protest over the weekend LaBeouf, 30, then yelled at the man repeatedly, saying: 'He will not divide us' Over the weekend another man appeared on camera flashing a sign that said 'Pepe 2020,' which caused LaBeouf to try and punch him in the face Early Monday, a visitor stood in the font of the camera saying: 'Hitler did nothing wrong' It is still not clear if these people were trolling LaBeouf or working with him LaBeouf was back at Manhattan's Museum of the Moving Image on Monday for...

Hollywood gave itself some more awards last night, because if there’s anything America needs, it’s another awards show. And as Scott Greer reports, one of the “winners” used his acceptance speech to send out an open call for political violence: Attendees at Sunday night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards gave an uproarious standing ovation to “Stranger Things” star David Harbour’s call to punch unnamed people who oppress “the weak and the disenfranchised…” “We will hunt monsters and when we are at a loss amidst the hypocrisy and the casual violence of certain individuals and institutions, we will, as per Chief Jim...

While appearing on The View Friday morning, Robert De Niro addressed controversial comments he made about wanting to punch President Donald Trump in the face. His feelings haven’t changed. “I said that because he said that about somebody, that he would like to punch them in the face,” the actor told cohost Joy Behar. “How dare he say that to the crowd? How dare he say the things he does? Of course I want to punch him in the face.”

A Pittsburgh coffee shop is brewing up backlash over a loyalty punch card featuring pictures of President Trump and other conservatives. Black Forge Coffee House owner Nick Miller says the satiric cards are meant to express frustration with the system and nothing more. However, critics complain the punch holes make it look like the politicos have been shot in the forehead. The subjects include Vice President Mike Pence, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and conservative pundits Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly....

Daily Show host Trevor Noah attacked the Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann Monday, saying “everyone that sees that smug look wants to punch that kid.” “So you see the story you see a video of a kid who has a Native American man who’s playing his drum, and these kids are around the guy and they’re all jeering and they’re dancing–he’s got the smug look on his face.” “And let’s not lie, everyone that sees that smug look wants to punch that kid, right? I even saw conservative people online, when the first video, they were like ‘Look...

Montana Senator Jon Tester and President Trump don’t have a good relationship, as we know from when Tester’s mission was to destroy Rear Admiral Jackson’s nomination as Surgeon General. President Trump went on to strongly support Montana’s Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat occupied by Tester in 2018. That was to be expected, given that the president is the top Republican in the land. Trump’s verbal digs at Tester, though, got the best of the flat-top coiffed Montanan. Now Tester is downright aggressively hostile toward President Trump, as he proved during his appearance on a morning talk show. Tester...

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said Monday that while he sometimes feels like "punching” President Trump, Democrats could not win by “fighting him on his tactics.” Speaking to NBC's Seth Meyers, the 2020 presidential candidate recounted a past interaction with a supporter who suggested that he take a swing at the current president. Echoing comments he made in April, Booker said that while “my testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching" Trump, it wouldn't be good for the country or for Democrats as they seek to beat Trump in 2020. Referring to Trump as a "physically weak specimen," Booker...

Not even a Democratic debate could distract the leftist late-night loon Stephen Colbert from trashing on President Trump late Tuesday night. Colbert welcomed Jeff Daniels on The Late Show where he became the latest in a series of actors on the program to make a vile comment towards the President, including the hope that Trump’s opponent can “punch him in the face.” What better way to discuss Daniels role in the play rendition of How to Kill a Mockingbird than by stoking racial animus? This was surly the thought roaming in Colbert’s head when he posed this question to Daniels:...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday said that Democrats have to be ready to “throw a punch” in order to win in 2020. Don’t worry because Pelosi said it’s “for the children.” “For them, it’s about money. They’ll put up any amount of money to protect their investments of degrading the environment and the rest. Guns and all that,” Pelosi said at a DNC summer meeting flanked by DNC chief Tom Perez. “So you have to be ready to take a punch. You’ve got to be ready to take a punch. And therefore you have to be ready to throw...

The 2020 presidential election isn’t going to be easy, so Democrats better be ready to “throw a punch for the children,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says. During the Democratic National Committee (DNC) summer meeting in San Francisco, Calif., on Friday, the Democratic congressional leader offered her piece of advice for the 2020 election. The election will be “tough” because, as she says, for President Donald Trump and the Republicans, it’s “about the money.” She added, “They will put up any amount of money to protect their investments in degrading the environment, guns, and all of that.” Pelosi continued to...

Bill Maher apparently doesn’t subscribe to the philosophy “never speak evil of the dead.” On Friday night’s “Real Time,” he said he’s “glad” billionaire conservative David Koch is dead, and he hopes “the end was painful.” Maher’s harsh comments come following the Thursday death Koch, who had spent most of his life financing conservative causes, like climate change denial, a hot topic around the world this week as the rain forest in Brazil spreads. “Yesterday David Koch, of the zillionaire Koch brothers, died of prostate cancer. I guess I’m going to have to re-evaluate my low opinion of prostate cancer,”...

When CNN's Brian Stelter isn't worrying about whether or not Sean Spicer's foxtrot around ABC's dancefloor will cause lasting damage to America's social fabric, he's bringing guests on 'Reliable Sources' to sound off cockamamie psychological theories around President Donald J. Trump. Today, Stelter had on a psychiatrist who suggested that President Trump is 'more destructive' than Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong combined.Ex-Townhall contributor and current Washington Examiner writer Julio Rosas picked up the exchange. Dr. Allen Frances, former chairman of the Psychiatry Department at Duke University, told Stelter that he is not in favor of psychologists and psychiatrists...
