Democratic lawmakers and candidates are increasingly seeking the elimination of Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of their suite of demands in D.C.'s heated border battle. The calls reflect not only the deepening divide between the two partisan poles on immigration -- with one side seeking a border wall, and the other looking to dismantle the lead enforcement agency -- but the growing influence of the progressive wing. More and more Democratic politicians have embraced such causes as 'Medicare for all' and a federal jobs guarantee. Now, they're getting behind the call to abolish ICE, with gusto. Perhaps no 2018...

Joe Dan Gorman is back with another zany, erudite, and well - produced episode of Intellectual Froglegs.

With the breaking news that Supreme Court justice, and swing vote, Anthony Kennedy is retiring, Democrats must say: ONLY MERRICK GARLAND. Mitch McConnell stole Merrick Garland's Supreme Court seat. Democrats must right that wrong, and Dan Savage, John Aravosis, and Cliff Schecter have created OnlyMerrick.com to do just that.

Laura Loomer asked Maxine, “Should conservatives sit in the back of the bus?” and “Where should conservatives eat?” Maxine Waters did not like the questioning and swatted at Laura. Now this… On Tuesday evening, Laura Loomer went to the Capitol Police in Washington, D.C., and filed assault charges against Maxine Waters. Laura Loomer says Maxine Waters assaulted her 3 times and it’s all caught on camera: “Today I filed a police report in Washington, D.C. to press charges against Congresswoman Maxine Waters for assaulting me,” Loomer said. “When I confronted her regarding her call for targeted harassment of Trump administration...

President Trump mocked "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon on Twitter Sunday after the comedian expressed regret over how he handled a guest appearance by then-candidate Trump in September 2016. The president said that Fallon is "whimpering to all that he did the famous 'hair show' with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have 'humanized' me-he is taking heat."

“The View” co-host Meghan McCain went after Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on Saturday after the lawmaker called for protesters to confront Trump administration officials in public. “This is absolutely insane - and extremely dangerous,” McCain tweeted in response to recent comments from Waters. “My father in law works in the administration, does this mean when we go out to dinner we should be ambushed?!?” “Don’t ever again give me any of the ‘when they go low, we go high’ lip service,” McCain added, referring to former first lady Michelle Obama’s speech from the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Waters on Saturday...

While listing her demands of Republicans, House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) demanded “amnesty” for illegal aliens Thursday, then caught herself and called for “asylum and all the rest,” instead. […]“We demand immediately to know what they intend to do unite these families, end the zero tolerance. I won’t even go into the policy about amnesty — I mean not amnesty; they’d love for us to say that — asylum and all the rest. You all know that very well and you’ve testified to it.” …

Comedian Tom Arnold's funniest performance might have happened on the evening of June 22. He didn't even intend to be funny but his epic meltdown during his interview about the supposed Trump tapes with Poppy Harlow who was substituting for Erin Burnett is destined to be viewed by millions as comedy relief. Besides the hilarious notion that he and former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen are buddies despite only a chance meeting for a quick selfie photo, Arnold experienced two embarrassingly long brain freezes during the interview. Combined with his constant fidgeting, nervous tics, and the inability to answer simple...

This is not a spoof. Richard Painter, a Democrat, is running for the Senate in Minnesota. Somehow he has managed to perfectly encapsulate everything that personifies the current left-wing progressive party. It is the perfect ad to represent all Democrats in 2018. Watch:

Most of HBO's documentary The Final Year features members of former President Barack Obama's foreign policy team in 2016 oozing extreme hubris over how wonderful they thought they were. That came to an abrupt halt on Election Night when Donald Trump knocked them off their perches by winning the presidency. None was more shocked than Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes (although United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power came close).  A clip from the documentary shows a devastated Rhodes sitting outdoors after discovering his liberal world has been shattered. His shock is so extreme that he is actually struck dumb and is unable...

President Donald Trump stunned his fellow world leaders at the G7 meeting when he said he would ship “25 million” Mexicans to Japan, which would result in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe losing his next election. During the gathering in Quebec — which ended with Trump leaving early and refusing to sign the traditional joint communique — the president was talking about what he called Europe’s immigration problem when he turned his attention to the Japanese leader. “Shinzo, you don’t have this problem, but I can send you 25 million Mexicans and you’ll be out of office very soon,” Trump said,...

North Korean President Kim Jong Un came under intense scrutiny this week after meeting with a barbaric nation that has killed over 60 million of its young since legalizing abortion in 1973. Political commentators agreed that by meeting with the nation of savages that abort hundreds of thousands of their young each and every year, Kim Jong Un appeared to be legitimizing the backwards, depraved nation of America.

After weeks of struggling with his editors over unpublished anti-Trump cartoons, longtime Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial cartoonist Rob Rogers announced that he had been fired from the paper Thursday. A series of six spiked cartoons in late May and early June led to Rogers' extended absence from the Post-Gazette's editorial page and launched him into the national spotlight, including the Washington Post and an interview on CNN . Overall, Columbia Journalism Review said 19 of Rogers's cartoons or pre-publication ideas were shot down or left unpublished since March; he posted several of the spiked cartoons on his own Twitter feed earlier...

Berkeley Declares A ‘Climate Emergency,’ Calls For Population Control 2:51 PM 06/13/2018 Michael Bastasch | Contributor The California city that was home to 1960s radicals and known for excessively liberal politics declared a “climate emergency” on Tuesday evening, backing policies to “humanely stabilize” the human population. The Berkeley City Council unanimously voted to mobilize other California governments “to initiate a just local, state, national, and global climate emergency mobilization to restore a safe climate.” The council’s resolution, introduced by Council Member Cheryl Davila, warned that man-made global warming was “driving a global fresh water scarcity crisis and the sixth mass...

I'm imagining what future historians will write...-------------- Barack Obama's one true legacy that cannot be destroyed: President Donald Trump.With determined narcissism, with great hubris Barack Hussein Obama did great service. He brought America to the precipice and forced us to stare into the pit. The people recoiled at the terror of becoming like Venezuela or Zimbabwe. A great man stepped forward. This great man looked at his beloved family and knew he had to act, for he knew he could act. Divine Providence shined upon his golden locks. The people annointed a new leader.President Donald Trump. The Champion, the Peace...

@realDonaldTrump Congratulations to Corey Stewart for his great victory for Senator from Virginia. Now he runs against a total stiff, Tim Kaine, who is weak on crime and borders, and wants to raise your taxes through the roof. Don’t underestimate Corey, a major chance of winning! 2:55 AM - 13 Jun 2018

Chelsea Clinton fires back at critics who compare her to 'Howdy Doody' By Alex Pappas | Fox News Chelsea Clinton is firing back at “all the people” who say she looks like the Howdy Doody puppet. The former first daughter on Tuesday singled out a Twitter user named Richard, who on Tuesday shared a graphic with his 20 Twitter followers that showed Howdy Doody photoshopped over Clinton’s face. “Thanks to Richard & all the people on @Twitter who’ve compared me to Howdy Doody, I now know a bit about him, including that he stood up to bullies & believed in...
