Last summer, Rep. Steve Scalise came within a hair’s breadth of being killed by a left-wing lunatic who, judging by his social media diet, appeared to have been radicalized online. Scalise was shot at a congressional baseball game practice, and was listed as one of several Republican targets found in the killer’s possession. The media covered this near-tragedy like it ...

A sociology professor at College of Southern Nevada took the Resistance to the next level on August 28 when he dipped into a campus bathroom, taped a $100 bill to the mirror, and proceeded to shoot himself in the arm.

More than a year into Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and more than two years into the FBI’s overall investigation into the Russian election meddling of 2016, the powers-that-be are no closer to proving their theory: That the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to hack into the DNC and release emails harmful to Hillary Clinton’s bid for the ...

“It is inevitable that Donald Trump will face a primary,” former New Hampshire GOP chairwoman Jennifer Horn said in a recent New York Magazine piece. “It certainly remains to be seen who, and how strong, how credible, that challenge will be.” The piece in the magazine, written by Gabriel Debenedetti, was centered around this primary prospect facing the president; the ...

The one that used to shock patient grocery store customers into paying attention with stories of modern-day vampires, sightings of long-dead celebrities, and, last but not least, Bat Boy? We only ask because that old rag would find a comfortable home in the 2018 media universe; the crap they’re slinging ...

President Trump unleashed what might be his most brutal online tongue-lashing to date directed at Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday.

“Et tu In-N-Out?” tweeted California Democratic Party head Eric Bauman last weekend. “Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party…it’s time to #BoycottInNOut – let Trump and his cronies support these creeps…perhaps animal style!” In a landscape of dubious left-wing political strategies and objectives, this was one of the most misguided. Bauman’s call for a boycott of ...

In a second quarter announcement this week, Dick’s Sporting Goods confirmed that at least 10 stores would begin pulling hunting products from the shelves after disappointing returns from that sector.
