Jennifer Lawrence, thank goodness, to quit acting to ‘fix the democracy’

Oh good, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar-winning actress, has decided to go off her job in Hollywood in order to go on the job for America. She's quitting acting -- for a time -- to help save us from ourselves. And by her estimates, it should only take her a year or so.

Donald Trump endorses Mitt Romney, showing how GOP ought to act

President Donald Trump sent out a tweet of praise for former Massachusetts governor and failed presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, endorsing his one-time White House rival for the Senate in Utah.

Artificial intelligence can read! And now customer service reps must go

An economic boom just dropped on the world -- and most, no doubt, aren't even aware. What happened?

Teens across the nation, fed up with school shootings, are planning marches, media events and three-minute demonstrations at the White House in order to get across their messages of frustration with the Second Amendment and to demand lawmakers take immediate action.

Utah: U.S. flag shredded; ISIS flag raised

Somebody in Utah just ripped down an American flag flying at Hurricane High School, shredded it and tossed it into the streets, then raised what appeared to be a banner used by ISIS on the pole in its place. This is how the culture views our country? This is how society rates America?

Cancer findings a bit of a joke

A new study of 100,000-plus French adults has found that those who eat a lot of processed foods and drink a good deal of sugary drinks are more likely to develop a variety of cancers than those who, say, eat healthy food. What? You don't say.

Playing God? AI murky on what’s truly ‘conscious,’ what’s not

A funny thing happened at a press conference with a group of internationally renowned scientists who were asked about the potential for artificial intelligence to become their world's equivalent of playing God. They couldn't define "conscious."

Opioid regulation not the way to fight ODs, cure addiction

The country's gone head-over-heels nuts on opioids, the drug of effectiveness for long-time pain sufferers.

Omarosa Manigault-Newman accused of proposing sex for money with Piers Morgan

Omarosa Manigault-Newman, the woman who just made national headlines for her abrupt departure from the White House -- and then again, for her 180-degree flip in support for her once-upon-a-time fawning for President Donald Trump -- has made the news once again, this time, for a seedier, sexual matter. Gotta say: Not surprised. Jesus to the rescue, right?

Berkeley resists Donald Trump and declares self pot smokers’ safe haven

Berkeley, home of the leftist amnesty lover, has found a new way to become a thorn in the side of this White House -- by declaring itself a sanctuary city for marijuana smokers. Congrats, Berkeley. You've found a new way to show your immature resistance to law and order. What, immigration wasn't enough for you?

Why Baltimore detectives’ racketeering convictions are not ‘shocking’

Two Baltimore detectives serving as part of the Gun Trace Task Force were just convicted on robbery and racketeering charges. Shocking? The Washington Post thinks so, blaring a headline that outright characterized the trial and charges just that way. But it's not.

#VanessaTrump peppered with leftist hate — but love conquers

They say love overcomes all -- but at #VanessaTrump, the Twitter hashtag that started in response to Vanessa Trump's receipt of an envelope of white powder, the adage is really being put to the test. Look at this lovely post, from Amanda Butler, @sweethunni1976: "It was cornstarch for the love of god. Probably sent it to themselves to deflect from all the real bs going on in Washington. #VanessaTrump." Nice.

Michelle Obama finally ‘grateful’

Former first lady Michelle Obama is finally humbled, honored and -- get this -- grateful. It only took an unveiling of her official portrait at the National Portrait Gallery to bring her to that state.

Barack Obama’s portrait — a real ‘what is that!’ moment

Barack Obama's official portrait unveiling just went forth at the National Portrait Gallery -- and boy, was it a WTFreak moment. Was that a giant fern in front of which Obama was seated? It reminded of his interview with Zach Galifianakis of "Funny or Die" fame and the "Between Two Ferns" chat.
