Billy Idol, U.K.-born rocker of the '80's, became a U.S. citizen this week -- holding a tiny American flag as he took the Naturalization Oath of Allegiance. Holding the American flag. Swearing allegiance to America. Caravan-ers, are you paying attention?
President Donald Trump, in characteristic President Donald Trump fashion, took to Twitter to give voice to his latest opinion on the ongoing -- never-ending, it would seem -- special counsel investigation of Russia collusion being conducted by Robert Mueller, and said: "The inner workings ... are a total mess." Well, that's just well said.
Social media has gone into overdrive over the news Michael Avenatti, the anti-President Donald Trump trash-talking attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, was arrested for domestic abuse. But conservatives, at least, ought to save the crowing and mocking and celebrating for behind-the-scenes, at least for the time being.
Google, fresh off the farm of defending last month's leak of 500,000 or so users' sensitive information, has just been hit by another Internet hijacking -- the "worst ever," according to the company that caught the hack. And what's most eye-opening is the hack is the likely work of Russian and Chinese sources.
You have to feel sorry for Monica Lewinsky. At least a little.
It's funny how personal tragedy can bring out the pro-Second Amendment sides of people.
Alex Trebek, the 78-year-old long-time host of "Jeopardy," sat down with Vulture to talk politics and culture and #MeToo and more and said what we've all been thinking for some time, particularly post-Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court battle, and that's this: It's a "scary time" to be a guy. Indeed.
Hillary Clinton is supposedly running for president again in 2020. That's according to Mark Penn, a former pollster and adviser to Bill Clinton, and Andrew Stein, a leading Democrat figure from New York, both of whom penned a piece for the Wall Street Journal titled, simply, "Hillary Will Run Again." And all the Republicans go: Yes!
Rep. Jim Jordan, in a letter to Republican colleagues, wrote that the GOP has only itself to blame for the loss of the House to the Democrats. Somebody give that man a gold star.
China has just employed new "gait recognition" technology that can identify individuals by their manner of walk. This is police surveillance taken to a whole new level of frightening. Whispers are that America's airports might make a decent testing ground to bring the artificial intelligence here.
So Democrats flipped the House and won some points. But with the Senate firmly in Republicans' control, the left is hardly in a position to crow. What has to happen next is a return to proper politicking -- a laying aside of baseball bats and a call for quieter streets. Democrats, this is up to you to do.
MSNBC, a day before the elections -- on Monday evening, before polls even opened for on-site voting -- put up a graphic on screen, on air, that showed the "vote counts" of the Florida governor's race with Democrat Andrew Gillum leading Republican Ron DeSantis with a 49.4 percent to 48.8 percent lead. Can you say what the heck?
Rush Limbaugh took to the stage in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to introduce President Donald Trump -- and in classic blunt and bold fashion, laid out the real case of why Democrats are so violent and angry these days. "The Democrats haven't even accepted that they lost the election in 2016," he said. Precisely.
President Donald Trump is due to deliver a rally speech in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on Monday -- and appearing at the scene with him will be radio legend Rush Limbaugh and Fox News favorite Sean Hannity. Talk about a trio of star power politicking.
Forty interviews later and investigators have found nothing -- nil, zilch, nada, zero -- substantiating the sexual harassment and assault claims made by women against Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. These accusers, these lying accusers -- send 'em to jail. That's where they belong.
A dozen migrants heading toward the United States with intent to storm across its borders -- a la "we have a right to be here!" -- kicked off a lawsuit against President Donald Trump this week, alleging he's violating their Fifth Amendment due process rights. Really.
Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton -- all these then-Senate Democrats voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006 authorizing, in the words of the legislation, "operational control over the international land and maritime borders of the United States."
Oxford University researchers have devised what they say is a new artificial intelligence program that will help predict and possibly prevent religious violence around the world. It's based on psychological programming that starts with the premise that all people are naturally peaceful. And that's where the software goes wrong.
Speaker Paul D. Ryan came out in the aftermath of President Donald Trump's widely reported claim to be in the works on an executive order to halt Anchor Baby Syndrome and said, hey you can't do that, followed quickly by this: Republicans got this. Except really, they don't. They haven't, despite the opportunities that have presented.
Consumer confidence just hit an 18-year high, from 135.3 in September to 137.9 in October. And all the campaigning Democrats go, gulp.
