Milo erupts on Ariana as ‘too stupid,’ too ‘pro-Islam’
Milo Yiannopoulos, conservative writer, went on a rant against Ariana Grande on his Facebook account, calling out the pop star for her naive views of Islam. But the slam is perhaps a bit unfair. After all, Grande isn't the policy-maker for open borders and red-carpet roll-outs to migrants from terror hot spots. Published May 23, 2017

President Donald Trump is proposing in his "New Foundation for American Greatness" plan some of the largest cuts to government programs the country's seen in a decade, including a provision that will reign in debt and cut spending by $3.6 trillion over the next ten years.

Democrat logic: It’s fun to threaten Republicans
Most people, when they want their congressional members to hear their dissenting voices, send a letter, drop an email, leave a voicemail. Democrats? They threaten violence. Published May 23, 2017
Joe Biden, to run or not run? That is the — yawning — question
Joe Biden, former vice president, spent the better part of campaign season 2016 dodging in and out of the "yay" and "nay" camps on running for the high White House office, before ultimately falling into the latter category. And now, it seems, he's at it again. Published May 22, 2017
F-bombing Trump — the left’s new weapon of choice

Iran laughably rips Donald Trump for spreading ‘Iranophobia’
Iran, reacting to President Donald Trump's speech at the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh, called out the commander-in-chief for his blunt rhetoric and accused him of harming Tehran's reputation in the Middle East.

Notre Dame snowflakes exit, stage right, for Mike Pence
Vice President Mike Pence's graduation ceremony speech at Notre Dame caused quite a few students -- offended students, apparently -- to exit, stage right, and leave the event. America, meet the graduating class of 2017 -- too weak to listen to countering views. Published May 22, 2017

Jason Chaffetz’s right: Where’s the memo, James Comey?
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, in a Thursday "Good Morning America" interview, wondered aloud where the now-famous James Comey memos were -- and whether the fired FBI director really was going to release them for public viewing. These are good questions. The American public has a right to see the so-called evidence being used to take down President Donald Trump. Published May 18, 2017
James Comey: Higher-ups never asked for halt to FBI investigations
James Comey, just-fired FBI director, said in a Senate hearing earlier this month that he's never been asked by higher-ups to back off an investigation for political reasons, an interesting remark given the fact President Donald Trump's now being accused of that very thing. Published May 18, 2017
Tony Schwartz, ‘Art of the Deal’ co-author, backstabs Donald Trump
Tony Schwartz, the co-author of "The Art of the Deal," took to national television to speak about President Donald Trump's current state of mind. And what he said was hardly kind -- rather, it was more a betrayal of the Trump hand that fed. Published May 18, 2017

Sen. John McCain, self-proclaimed Republican but not-so-secret Democrat, came out in full force against his own party's president, saying the many scandals rocking the White House lately are reaching "Watergate" proportions. Easy there, McCain. Let's reel back the rhetoric a bit and consider a more level-headed look at these so-called scandals. Published May 17, 2017
Kimberly Guilfoyle would be great for Trump’s team
Fox News host, attorney and all-around blunt talker Kimberly Guilfoyle has been making the media rounds of late, suggesting personal interest in replacing Sean Spicer as White House press secretary.

Kara McCullough, Miss USA, changes tune, calls health care ‘a right’
Well, that didn't last long, did it? Social media had been afire with news of the newest Miss USA, black Washington, D.C., representative Kara McCullough, and her conservative viewpoints -- most particularly, the one that went like this: Health care is not a right, but rather a privilege. Fast-forward a few short hours and her mantra now goes: Oops. My bad. I meant health care is indeed a right. Published May 16, 2017
