After Facing Historically Low Job Approval Ratings, President Trump Fires Back With a Fact of His Own
As has been the case for more than a few of his predecessors, President Donald Trump is finding out that running for president and being president are often two different endeavors entirely.

Ben Sasse (R-NE) that he would not be visiting Nebraska anytime soon to “work in the fields” because he's a “house n****.” Amid calls for his firing, Maher later apologized.

After former FBI Director James Comey was unceremoniously fired — he reportedly learned of his dismissal from TV screens in the back of the room where he was speaking to bureau employees in Los Angeles — the focus turned to how he would react and what he might have to say about the whole thing.

Ellen Bans President Trump From Her Show: He's 'Against Everything I Stand For'

In fact, she's so much not a fan that she'll never have him on her show. “Today” co-host Matt Lauer appeared as a guest on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Thursday, and at the end of the regular segment, it was Lauer who asked the questions. Several of those questions centered on Ellen's feelings… → Read More

Trump Tells Australian Prime Minister: 'You Have Better Health Care Than We Do'
It finally happened. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed the American Health Care Act (AHCA) by the slimmest of margins on Thursday.

Tillerson Acts on Trump's Pledge to Reduce Size of Government — Proposes Massive State Department Layoff
Supporters of President Donald J. Trump are fond of saying “there's a new sheriff in town.” Given that description, there's also at least one new deputy sheriff in town. Rex Tillerson.

Former WH Press Secretary Josh Earnest: Obama Will Jump in If Trump Admin Crosses 'Red Lines'
Prior to leaving office, President Obama vowed to speak out in the future whenever he believes “our core values may be at stake.” While former presidents have historically been loathe to criticize their successors, with the exception of Jimmy Carter, of course, America is a nation of free speech, and it's certainly Obama's right to speak out whenever he sees fit. So what, precisely, would cause… → Read More
Saudi Arabia Elected to UN Women's Rights Commission — Predictable Outrage Ensues
Critics of the United Nations have long pointed to the hypocrisy of the world body. From turning a blind eye to the abuse of human rights in China, Cuba, and elsewhere, to multiple resolutions against Israel, while virtually ignoring attacks against the Jewish nation by Hamas and Hezbollah, the U.N. has been “selective” in its condemnation. Last week, Saudi Arabia, which Newsweek described as… → Read More

Bill O'Reilly's Big Announcement Shows He Has No Intention of 'Fading Away' Anytime Soon
After famed Army Gen. Douglas MacArthur was fired by President Harry S. Truman in 1951, he made one of the most famous statements in the history of military speeches during an address to Congress: “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” In the case of recently fired Bill O'Reilly, to paraphrase: old Fox News hosts never fade away, they just resort to podcasts: > He’s Baaaaaack: Bill… → Read More
