[VIDEO] On Wednesday, Fox News was interviewing recent primary winner James Lankford when Rep. Louie Gohmert dropped by, to hilarious effect, as shown in the above video. But this is not his first foray into photobombing, as noticed last week by Buzzfeed's Benny Johnson... A truly classic photobomb. Now if only we can get him to crash one of the President's selfies we'll be in business. It would probably look something like this:

I've held off on writing about soccer for a decade -- or about the length of the average soccer game -- so as not to offend anyone. But enough is enough. Any growing interest in soccer can only be a sign of the nation's moral decay. (1) Individual achievement is not a big factor in soccer. In a real sport, players fumble passes, throw bricks and drop fly balls -- all in front of a crowd. When baseball players strike out, they're standing alone at the plate. But there's also individual glory in home runs, touchdowns and slam-dunks. In soccer,...

Who cares about the Redskins? Probably not first lady Michelle Obama, who turned her sights on insulting the Romani minority community Monday. While describing her struggles as a working mother, the usually politically correct first lady used the racial slur, gypped. “The first thing I tried to do, which was a mistake, was that I tried the part-time thing… I realized I was getting gypped on that front,” Obama told ABC’s Robin Roberts at the White House Summit on Working Families. “What happened was I got a part-time salary but worked full time.” The term “gypped” is a racial slur...

NOTE: Gratuitous links begging and whining for money have been removed. Friend -- I like really simple facts and figures. Here's one for the interest groups on the other side wondering what they're up against: We're about to reach our 500,000th grassroots donor. That fact should scare people like Karl Rove and the Koch brothers -- it's why we never shy away from a tough fight. We're facing a huge fundraising deadline on June 30th, and I'm asking anyone who believes in what we're building to step up and chip in. What I love about this next big grassroots milestone...

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) had an audience in Maryland rolling in laughter after telling a joke about Heaven, John Boehner, Lindsey Graham and local Republican Rep. Andy Harris.

Editor’s Note: Ricochet Contributor Roman Genn (www.romangenn.com) — who emigrated from the Soviet Union to the United States in 1991 and whose artwork can now be seen regularly in National Review and many other publications — recently invited questions from Ricochet members. His responses appear below] Q: How old were you when you left the Soviet Union? What effect did leaving at that particular age have on you relative to hypothetically having left later or earlier in your life? A: I left too late to avoid speaking like Count Dracula for the rest of my life. Q: What was your...

Jason Mattera caught up with Hillary Clinton at one of the DC stops on her book tour this week, and asked the former Secretary of State if she would mind signing a copy of Hard Choices… but with a twist. “If you could make it out to Christopher Stevens,” Mattera queried. “I think you knew him.” Christopher Stevens, of course, was the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was murdered along with three other Americans on Clinton’s watch, when Jihadists attacked two U.S. outposts in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Hillary, surprised by the request, replied, “Yeah, I’m not gonna make...

We have a scientific consensus around this issue. We also need a political consensus," said Christine Todd Whitman, the former New Jersey Governor and first EPA administrator under President George W. Bush, who resigned her post after disagreeing with the White House's direction on pollution rules. Whitman was joined by William Ruckelshaus, the nation's first EPA administrator under President Richard Nixon, William Reilly, who led the EPA under President George H.W. Bush, and Lee Thomas, who was administrator under Reagan.

You’d think former Rep. Anthony Weiner would try to avoid anything with the word “sexting” like the plague. After all, it was a sexting scandal that pushed him out of office in 2011. But recently, Weiner found himself trying to explain why he would favorite a tweet that claimed “Tinder will now be the ultimate sext machine.” It was a tweet by former Slate staffer Matt Yglesias, who is now Vox’s executive editor, and included a link to a piece about a new photo feature in the dating app.

Today, we learned that Chelsea Clinton has been taking home an annual salary of $600,000 for her work as a “special correspondent” for NBC News. In case you had no idea NBC News was employing the Clinton scion, here is an example of her “work”:(Video at source.) On the one hand, $600,000 seems like a fair salary for an only child who has to support her struggling parents. On the other, Chelsea’s annual income is equivalent to what Hillary Clinton receives for three hours of work on the public speaking circuit. It also pales in comparison to Bill Clinton’s nine-figure...

Fresh off their parody of Obama’s Bergdahl trade, MAD took a shot at Hillary.

With the rumored move of Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball coach David Blatt to the NBA, a whole new arena of activity can open up for outgoing President Shimon Peres. One can only imagine the press conference: “Maccabi Tel Aviv announces the signing of our new coach, the illustrious Shimon Peres. Mr Peres, please, explain your views on the world of sports". Coach Peres: "It is with great honor and happiness that I accept this new assignment. After all, to be welcomed by the Euroleague champion, perpetual winner of the Israel League Cup - and here am I, the perennial loser….....

Moochelle Obama for the Senate? I think I’ve seen this movie before. Let me guess, she’s the smartest woman in America. And she’s one of the 100 best lawyers in America — oh, that’s right, she doesn’t have a license to practice anymore. So that’s one thing the pajama boys of the state-controlled media won’t be able to gush about as the tingles run up their legs. When does this nightmare end? Yesterday, her husband shows up for the 70th anniversary of D-Day, a solemn occasion by any measure, and he’s chewing gum. And now Mrs. Mooch is being “urged”...

Like Hillary Clinton, Attorney General Martha Coakley also has a book coming out. And by sheer coincidence both books have the same title -- "Hard Choices." Who would have thought that possible? Yet, when you think about it, both women have a lot in common. Actually Coakley really does not have a book coming out -- we just said that. But she could have, given how much the two are alike. They even dress alike.
