Brett Kavanaugh’s coming, Democrats or no Democrats

Judge Brett M.

Democrats, on Ron DeSantis-Andrew Gillum, need to stop monkeying around

Twitter’s shocking shrug on death message to Dana Loesch’s kids

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey swears by his mother's right hand that his social media empire does not lean left when it comes to purposely blocking conservatives but letting flow unhindered the thoughts of liberals.

A female sociology professor at Northeastern University who penned a piece for The Washington Post in June that asked, "Why Can't We Hate Men?" and then went on to list the logical ways "we," in fact, both could and should, has been slapped with a sex discrimination complaint by a bunch of men.

Republicans in the Senate say John McCain's death has opened a door for a new Obamacare repeal vote, and are pressing Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to appoint someone who swings that way.

Stupid student assignment: Pick who dies — homosexual, orphan or Muslim

Creativity's great and all -- but this is just one class assignment that goes beyond the "trying to spark student interest" phase and smack dab into the "what-the-freak" territory.

ACLU defends NRA — yes, you read that right

Donald Trump’s just-right statement on John McCain

President Donald Trump put out a brief expression of sympathy for the family of John McCain in the aftermath of the Arizona senator's death -- and now, a couple media cycles later, it's like he unilaterally bombed North Korea, or purposely ran over a box full of kitties.
