President Obama thinks people ask too much of their police officers, and that the recent wave of deadly shootings will only end when society tackles underlying social and economic issues in minority communities, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday. During his scheduled meeting Wednesday with police and community groups, Obama will ask "what are specific steps that we can take to address some these racial disparities in our criminal justice system that are persistent and measurable?" Earnest said. "But what are also some steps that we can take to do even more to support our men and women in...

Kalyn Chapman James, the first African American to hold the Miss Alabama title, said on Sunday that she doesn't want to "feel this way," but finds it hard to be sad for the Dallas police officers and "can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr." "I don't want to feel this way" James states in the video. "I don't feel sad for the officers who lost their lives ... I know that's not really my heart. I value human life. And I want to feel sad for them but I can't help but feeling like the shooter was...

There seems to be no bottom to the cesspool of Islamophobic rhetoric coming from Republican candidates.

Kelly Osbourne is admitting she “f—-d up” big time. On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” Osbourne made an inflammatory comment about Latinos while trying to bash presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Osbourne later told Page Six, “I want to start by saying I always take responsibility for my...

Like Congressman James Moran in search of an excuse to confiscate privately-owned firearms, Pat Buchanan seeks to glom onto the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech. Like James Moran, Pat Buchanan reeks of execrable thinking and primitive hatred. Both men are truly Sons of Erin. However, just because I like green beer and rooting vehemently against Notre Dame Football, I’ll decline to follow the path of bigoted hate-mongering tread by the odious Patrick J. Buchanan in today’s column. Buchanan attaches profound significance to the fact that Cho Sueng-Hui had a green card. Boy, that detail comes in handy, when you want...

Ford received the package by special delivery Friday. He said he didn't want to dignify it with a response. Ford, who is black, accused at least some of his fellow council members of racism Tuesday, saying, "Sometimes you might just have to get a white sheet."

Hi! Well, I have a rwd car with summer tires and the fwd car is out of town. The small amount of sleet on the road has trapped me in the house. The weather guy said we'd be cool until noon, but who believes him anyway. Well, I'm a little unprepared (I know, I know) so I need a ghetto way to deice a small patch on my back deck so I can let the dog out without breaking our necks. I'm sure table salt works well, but how much should I use? I don't want to waste it, not...
