"Somebody's Gotta Do It" host Mike Rowe said, "I think there's something in there with gun control and the whole conversation around guns." (Associated Press/File)

Mike Rowe’s timely reminder: Citizens true bosses of NFL

Mike Rowe, the guy of "Dirty Jobs" fame, issued some scathing criticisms against the NFL and -- well, and pretty much everyone else tied to the whole football protest movement. No, really, Mike, tell us how you feel.

Demonstrators hold shields during a free speech rally Sunday, Aug. 27, 2017, in Berkeley, Calif. Several thousand people converged in Berkeley Sunday for a "Rally Against Hate" in response to a planned right-wing protest that raised concerns of violence and triggered a massive police presence. Several people were arrested for violating rules against covering their faces or carrying items banned by authorities. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez)

Cornell University students move to ban ‘hate speech’

A Latino student at Cornell University overheard somebody chanting, "build a wall," so now the student government passed a resolution condemning "hate speech." Whatever that is. Seriously -- what is hate speech?

Alejandro Villanueva, hero of the NFL

When the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to stay their sorry selves in the locker room during the playing of the national anthem at Sunday's game, the entire NFL fanbase, minus the Friends of Colin Kaepernick crowd, gave a collective sigh -- a heavy, frustrated, "here we go again" sigh. Then came Alejandro Villaneuva.

A North Korean defector holds a banner as police officers stand guard during a rally against South Korean government's policy against the North in front of the Government Complex in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, Sept. 22, 2017. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in an extraordinary and direct rebuke, called U.S. President Donald Trump "deranged" and said he will "pay dearly" for his threats, a possible indication of more powerful weapons tests on the horizon.

Donald Trump: Deliciously impolite

Politeness is so overrated. President Donald Trump's naysayers have come out in full force in recent days to blast his tough-talk speech to the United Nations as bombastic, and his Twitter firings at North Korea's Kim Jong Un as dangerous. But the truth is: Keeping the world powers on its collective toes is good for America.

Bill Cassidy “lied right to my face” by going back on his word to ensure any health care overhaul passes a test the Republican lawmaker named for the late night host.

Jimmy Kimmel, elitist pro-Obamacare mouth, is at it again

Jimmy Kimmel, the Hollywood comedian who turned into a pro-Obamacare mouthpiece a few months ago by speaking emotionally of his son's medical condition, is at it again -- this time, snarking it up on the televised stage how stupid Republicans are, how stupid the Obamacare repeal effort is and how very, very "phony" is the "little creep" from Fox News, Brian Kilmeade.

Donald Trump faulted for fueling global love for Iran

The reverberations of President Donald Trump's first address to the General Assembly are still sounding, and the latest from the naysaying side is this ridiculous suggestion -- that his bold remarks on the Iran treaty have actually jumpstarted sympathy for the regime.

Scott Pruitt, in fight for EPA life — literally

Scott Pruitt, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has apparently generated so much controversy that radical green peeps are threatening him with near-regularity, to the point he's now getting extra armed protection. Seriously, folks, some perspective, please. Are trees that important?

MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough slammed the left-wing violence in Berkeley, California, over the weekend, saying there's nothing "anti-fascist" about using force to shut down free speech. (MSNBC)

Joe Scarborough agrees: Donald Trump’s U.N. speech a winner

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, normally no fan of Donald Trump's -- to put it mildly -- nonetheless came out in defense of the president's speech before the United Nations. In short, Scarborough actually liked it. Check the skies for flying pigs.

Protesters march in support of former quarterback Colin Kaepernick outside Ford Field and an NFL football game between the Detroit Lions and the Arizona Cardinals in Detroit, Sunday, Sept. 10, 2017. (AP Photo/Jose Juarez)

Colin Kaepernick: Apologize

Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback known these days more for his on-field displays of anti-Americanism than for his tossing skills, now says he's ready to play. Well, isn't that special. No apology? No play. That's what I say, anyway.

Hobby Lobby cotton creation causes cries of racism

A new controversy has erupted in the left's ever-expanding war on racism, and this one is so ridiculous that even the left ought to be shaking heads in shame. Basically, a woman's claimed a Hobby Lobby art display of raw cotton -- comprised of a few sticks of the fiber stalks shoved into some glass jars, with the fluffy white spilling from brown branches -- is racist.

Then-Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort talks to reporters on the floor of the Republican National Convention at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. U.S. government investigators were wiretapping the head of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, both before and after the election, CNN reported. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)

Paul Manafort wiretapped — and suddenly, Donald Trump’s not so crazy

Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, was being wiretapped by feds -- not just once, but twice -- as part of an FBI investigation into his dealings in Ukraine and Russia. The secret surveillance took place at a time when Manafort was in contact with Trump, all the way into 2017. And with that, Trump, who claimed that his Trump Tower had been wiretapped by Barack Obama in the lead-up to the election, is suddenly no longer the crazy dude the left made him to appear.

Donald Trump, the right guy to rein in the United Nations

President Donald Trump took the United Nations to task in recent remarks at the global body's New York headquarters, telling those attending a special forum on "management, security and development" that the entity was in dire need of reform. It's about time America snipped the U.N.'s wings.
