Jimmy Kimmel doesn't appear too shaken up that his Republican viewership has taken a plunge since he waded into politics on his late-night ABC talk show. Appearing on "CBS Sunday Morning," the comedian said he wouldn't change a thing about his approach to President Trump or heated topics like health care and gun control. (CBS)

Jimmy Kimmel goes all Christiany on Roy Moore — and accepts fight

Jimmy Kimmel, of comedy talk show fame, apparently is a card-carrying Christian who's been so offended by Roy Moore, that he first, sent a character from his show to disrupt one of the Senate candidate's rallies and then, when confronted, jumped on Twitter and late-night TV and agreed to a man-to-man. That's right. Kimmel actually agreed to a fight with Moore.

Nikki Haley is sticking it to North Korea

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley just issued an oh-so-strong statement North Korea's way, telling the defiant regime its latest missile launch was a war-like act -- and if that's the way Kim Jong Un wants to play it, fine by the United States. But be prepared, she said. 'Cause North Korea will be "utterly destroyed" if war ensues, Haley vowed.

Hillary Clinton, again, suggests misogyny for White House fail

Hillary Clinton just can't get it through her head that the reason she lost the White House in 2016 was that she didn't offer what voters wanted. Once again, she's floundering for reasons. Once again, she's talking up the woman angle.

John Conyers, under fire from women who've accused him of sexual misconduct, may have stepped aside from his ranking Judiciary Committee position.
