It was a Valentine’s Day from hell. According to a complaint filed Feb. 9 in federal court, Tom Mosgrove spent Valentine’s Day in 2022 in Santa Clara County jail after his then-wife called the police and reported that he pushed her into a closet and blocked her from leaving. Tom Mosgrove claims that he was not an instigator of the incident and never touched his wife nor did anything of a violent or threatening nature that night, but the police arrested him anyway because of a county policy that allegedly requires someone to be arrested when police respond to a...

Oregon’s Driftwood Public Library is teaming up with a local high school to establish a “gender-affirming” closet for students, designed to help children circumvent their parents in identifying as the opposite sex, asking donors for a series of items including “trans tape.” The public library recently announced the “Gender Affirming Closet Donation Kickoff,” which takes place Thursday, August 4. The donations are part of an effort to establish a “gender-affirming” closet at Taft High. “Many students that are transgender and/or nonbinary are not supported by their parents nor can showcase it with their daily clothing choices,” the library’s announcement reads....

The University of North Carolina-Greensboro student heard strange noises coming from her closet in her off-campus apartment on Saturday, WFMY-TV reported. “I just hear rattling in my closet," she said.

While attending the grand opening of Lamborghini Calabasas, Fabio waxed chivalrous regarding his restaurant run-in with reportedly drunk and irritable George. “I was doing a charity for the 11-99 Foundation, which benefits the widows and children of officers killed in the line of duty,” Fabio told OK! magazine. “I had dinner with six women and a photographer woman and we were just having fun, having dinner and taking pictures. All of a sudden one of the ladies said to me, ‘There is this gentleman a few tables behind you that keeps insulting me, keeps giving me the finger.’ She’s like,...

I told you people he’d go there. You didn’t believe me. But he is a CEO who lives in the private, gated community of a private gated island. They see the world differently. CEO’s make really crappy senators because they feel compelled to cut deals and transcend the rubes of party politics to prove their own statesman like qualities. And David Perdue finally went there — exactly as I told you he would.

  The new French president, François Hollande, said Saturday that he had told those close to him to keep their private lives private and to resolve their conflicts away from the news media. Mr. Hollande, who campaigned for France’s highest office on a pledge to be “a normal president,” has been embarrassed by the evident strain between his partner, Valérie Trierweiler, and his four children, whom he fathered with a former Socialist presidential candidate, Ségolène Royal. “Private affairs are resolved in private,” Mr. Hollande said in a 45-minute, nationally televised interview on the French national holiday Bastille Day. “And I have...

Hillaire Belloc on Fleet Street: "You cannot hope to bribe or twist Thank God, the British journalist. But seeing what the man will do unbribed There’s no occasion to." We may have to modify that for the court eunuchs of Obama’s state media:

Over the weekend, FR broke the story about the newspaper pool reporter who was detained in a closet for a total of about two hours so he could not talk to attendees at a Joe Biden fundraiser. Other sites picked up the story, it went super-viral on the 'net, and now has become so big ABC and FOX both covered the story. At ABC, WNT covered the story with Jake Tapper last night, and this morning, this little jewel ran on GMA. The FR-inspired story also ran in traditional newspapers, such as the NY Post, NY Daily News, Times of...

After decades of hiding in the closet, pretending they represented opposing political views, tonight, demos and rinos will hold hands, and sit side by side. This rare display of public affection, by the twin parties, has the entire nation abuzz with excrement. Their coming out of the closet will take place tonight, during Bambi's pep rally, aka, the LGBT address. It was Bambi, who first suggested they come out of the closet. He said it was past time for condress to show the nation just how unified the two parties really are. Members of condress quickly humped onto the butt...

Gay rights activists have long pushed for closeted gays and lesbians to come out of the closet and cease hiding their sexuality from friends, family and co-workers. Owning up to one's sexual identity in public would strike a blow for mental health, advocates argue, while also helping to remove lingering social stigmas and stereotypes that have conspired to keep gays in the closet. So when a prominent gay actor advises other gay actors to remain closeted, the message probably won't be embraced warmly by the "come out" crowd. Yes, Richard Chamberlain -- perhaps best known for his role in the...

The recent repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell will likely leave Sen. John McCain's congressional legacy as one of a crotchety old miser. As his wingman, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) could also see his maverick rep reshaped in the aftermath of the gay rights victory. Graham's angry defense of the 17-year Congressional ban on out gay service members has renewed attention on what's in his closet. The question has come up in interviews and Graham has politely maintained that he's a straight, content bachelor. But he can't shake the questions about why he's never put a ring on it. For...

Cowards he says? I can't wait for John to write an articulate article with as much passion that attacks the current administration for the nationalization of the private sector, carbon tax legislation, lost liberties, impending socialism, democratic thugism, the isolation and pressuring of Israel etc... I wont hold my breath. Ironically, I can find those responsible writings and commentary opposing the most overreaching unconstitutional and liberty threatening government in our history from the same people he calls out as cowardly. John I hope that alcohol goes down a little smoother during those elite cocktail parties. All Americans owe you the...
