ISIS had threatened Las Vegas in May

Authorities say they still don't know the motives behind a massacre in Las Vegas that left dozens of Mandalay Bay-area country concert-goers killed and another 500-plus injured. But back in May, ISIS actually sent out a propaganda video threatening Las Vegas.

Marilou Danley, Mandalay Bay person of interest, ‘proud mom & grandma’

At least 50 are dead and another 400 or so wounded after a shooter set up shop in a hotel across the street from a country music concert at the Mandalay Bay resort and casino in Las Vegas, and began firing at men, women and children attending the event. Radical Islam? Racial tensions? We don't know.

Marshall said the NFL can show its support of its players by hiring quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

National anthem supplanted by national anger

The worst part of this whole NFL fiasco is that the Star Spangled Banner is supposed to unify, not divide, but that anger has crept onto the fields and stolen even this small show of national peace.

Professors propose ‘privileged identity’ training for traveling whites

A couple of Canadian professors say white students shouldn't travel abroad without first receiving training on their "privileged identity." So whites can't go near blacks without receiving instruction in the proper ways to behave? Somehow, that suggestion seems -- well, racist.

Pope Francis, a man of thee not me

Pope Francis has once again trotted into political territory, calling on the masses to not just feed and clothe but also open border doors and shelter strangers from lands far and away. His words? European nations, all the developed nations, need to welcome more migrants. Well, isn't that special. Now what about Vatican City?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg tosses gender card: Sexism gave Trump win

No doubt sexism played a role in handing Donald Trump the White House this past November -- at least, that's the word according to Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- Hillary Clinton's new bestie.

Roy Moore win — a movement that has elites shaking

Roy Moore just beat Luther Strange in the Republican runoff for Alabama's U.S. Senate seat, by roughly 10 percentage points. And now both Democrats and the establishment wing of the Republicans are shaking in their boots -- or at least, they ought to be.

NFL ratings fall as fans make clear: Quit the politics

So NFL players have a right to kneel during the national anthem -- true. But NFL fans have a right to buy or not buy tickets, and watch or not watch games. And it's the latter that's speaking loudly now. Soon enough, fans -- not spoiled players -- will win this political brouhaha.

(AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File)

Obamacare repeal is dead

Gee, what a surprise, this headline from The Washington Post: "Senate GOP effort to unwind the ACA collapses Monday." At this point, Americans are starting to catch on -- Republicans aren't actually going to repeal Obamacare. Never.

NFL politics, a test for the media — and a solution

If NFL players have a right to on-field free expressions of speech, then that means pro-life players can take a knee during the playing of the national anthem to show solidarity with all the babies who could have been, save for America's legal rubber-stamp of abortion.
