Mahmoud Abbas, man of peace, to Donald Trump: ‘May your house be destroyed’

Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Authority, the guy who's frequently touted by both left- and right-leaning politicos as a moderate who wants nothing but peace with Israel, went on an shocking rant against the Jewish state and the United States in recent public remarks, ultimately unleashing a curse on President Donald Trump that went like this: "May your house be destroyed." Either Abbas has gone rogue or he's showing his true anti-West colors. The smart money's on Option B.

"I'm not a racist. I'm the least racist person you will ever interview," said President Trump told reporters as he met with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, California Republican (left). The furor grew out of an immigration discussion at the White House on Thursday where Mr. Trump allegedly made vulgar comments. (Associated Press)

Democrats overplaying anti-Donald Trump ‘racist’ hand

There comes a point when calling a spade a spatula becomes a bit worn and wearying and the public starts to catch on and actually notice and say, hey, that's a spatula, not a spade. In other words: People start to doubt the message is actually true.

Illegal charged with cop-killing: ‘Wish I had killed more’

An illegal immigrant facing murder charges for the killing of two law enforcement officers in Northern California went off the rails during his court hearing and said, with a grin on his face, "I wish I had killed more," Fox News reported. This is what the sanctuary-loving left wants to shelter from the deportation storm?

Justice Department, Jeff Sessions petition Supreme Court to end DACA

The Department of Justice is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a federal judge's ruling on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a rare intervention that could finally hand the White House a win on the Barack Obama-implemented program. Good. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is right to wage a fight on this. The idea that a former president's executively issued command that wrongfully skirted Congress is now hard and fast U.S. law is a bit much to stomach.

Christian sects and religious minorities face brutal persecution in areas controlled by the Islamic State. Activists say an official finding by the Obama administration that the persecution amounts to genocide should set in motion a number of legal and financial sanctions and give the issue a much greater urgency around the world. (Associated Press)

Jesus followers being wiped out worldwide by ‘Islamic oppression’

The Bible tells Christians to beware, that to follow Jesus paves the way for a life of challenge, mocking and persecution -- that specifically, as Matthew 10:22 states, "you will be hated by all for [His] name's sake." Well, according to a new report from Open Doors, a nonprofit that supports the spread of the faith in even the most hostile of areas, that ain't no joke.

Puerto Rico newspaper columnist blames ‘the Jew’ for island ills

A columnist for one of Puerto Rico's largest circulation newspapers, El Nueva Dia, wrote in a recent piece that the reason the country is still struggling, post Hurricane Maria, and its citizens, living in disastrous conditions is because of Jews in America. Yes, that is what Wilda Rodriguez put forth in a piece titled, "What Does 'The Jew' Want From the Colony?"

Authorities say an emaciated teenager led deputies to a California home where her 12 brothers and sisters were locked up in filthy conditions, with some of them malnourished and chained to beds. Riverside County sheriff's deputies arrested the parents David Allen Turpin and Louise Anna Turpin on Sunday. The parents could face charges including torture and child endangerment.

Perris, Calif., shackling of kids case of pure evil

A Perris, California, couple who have been accused of shackling their 13 children to their beds and imprisoning them in filthy, dark, disgusting conditions were -- according to the grandmom -- good Christians who were simply living out their faith by having so many kids. Nope. God had nothing to do with this evil. In fact, this couple gives God a bad name.

Fearful Democrats preemptively strike State of the Union

Democrats must be shaking in their Birkenstocks. How else to explain their many, many and many more preemptive strikes at President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech -- a speech that doesn't even take place until Jan. 30?

Democrat Tulsi Gabbard says U.S. to blame for North Korea nukes

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Hawaii Democrat, took to "This Week" on ABC to say that it's America's fault North Korea has nuclear designs. This is typical Democrat logic -- defending chaos and evil at all costs and pointing fingers at any source that detracts from leftist, progressive culpability.

Blacks can be racist, too

Charles M. Blow, a black New York Times columnist, just wrote a piece for his newspaper that's bluntly titled, "Trump Is a Racist. Period." He arrives at that conclusion by simply saying it -- as if saying something conclusively makes it so.

Jeff Flake angling for White House run on anti-Trump wings

Jeff Flake, who's retiring from the Senate at the end of his term, is obviously positioning himself to be the Republican challenger to President Donald Trump in 2020. His platform? Like the Democrats, it's simply this: I detest Trump.

Borders aren’t racist, and some countries are sh—holes

Some countries truly are sh--holes -- and that's why the citizens who live there want to come to America so badly. But America's government has a responsibility to secure the future of its own citizens first -- and sorry, so sorry, anti-Trumpers of the world: That's. Not. Racism.

Donald Trump haters have their next distraction

Democrats this morning are on a mass tantrum, taking to the media to outdo themselves with the best shock and awe impression they can muster over President Donald Trump's "sh--hole" comment -- the same comment Trump now denies, via Twitter, saying. Thing is: Democrats really don't care what Trump said. They only care about how they can use what they said to attack him politically.

Luis Gutierrez, go home

Rep. Luis Gutierrez took to national television to call out President Donald Trump as a neo-Nazi and KKK leader. Gutierrez should go home. And not to the cushy, cozy home of his fellow anti-American elites in Illinois, but rather to Puerto Rico, his home of descent, the home he oh-so-proudly hails from while making political points against conservatives -- the home he mentally channels while dinging the president as a racist and a bigot and an enemy of the poor.

Donald Trump’s ‘sh—hole’ remark reason he was elected

President Donald Trump reportedly suggested the United States shouldn't take in immigrants from Haiti or other "s---hole countries" because they do little to bolster an America First agenda -- and now the world is on fire, tittering about racism and vulgarities and the foul-mouthed impoliteness of this White House commander-in-chief. But really folks, this is why Trump was elected in the first place.

Good news for Trump, as half see collusion going away

Roughly half of Americans think the Russia collusion charges tailing President Donald Trump will dry up and disappear before the end of the year, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll.

7-Eleven siege, as ICE raids for illegals

There's this 7-Eleven in Northern Virginia where scores of illegals hang, waiting for day work that may or may not come -- staring at and intimidating women who cross the parking lot. But now, thanks to federal immigration officers and the get-tough-on-borders approach of President Donald Trump, there are 98 fewer 7-Elevens across the nation this morning that are facing this same issue.

PolitiFact dings ‘Fire and Fury’ for poor sourcing, emotion-driven narratives

PolitiFact, a web-based watchdog of sorts for political reporting -- and hardly an entity that can be called a cover for the conservative movement -- issued a scathing assessment of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" that no doubt will go far in solidifying the administration's line that the book is nothing but claptrap and lies, through and through.

Robert De Niro, mentally unstable, unleashes on Donald Trump

Robert De Niro, 74, slammed President Donald Trump in a recent interview as a "blatant racist," and "jerk-off-in-chief" and other things, yada, yada, yada -- proving, once again, why it's those on the left, not this commander-in-chief, who need psychiatric assistance.
