Charles, on everything: Stupidity: Youth: I was a Great Society liberal on domestic issues. People ask me, 'How do you go from Walter Mondale to Fox News?' The answer is, 'I was young once.' Canadians:I don't know about you, but I lie awake nights worrying about Canadian uranium. I know these people. I grew up there. You have no idea what they're capable of doing. If Sidney Crosby hadn't scored that goal to win the Olympic gold medal, there's no telling what might have ensued.America’s favorite pastime:Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics....

The Office of the First Lady has notified the Secret Service after actor Peter Fonda called for kidnapping Melania and Donald Trump’s son, Barron, The Daily Caller has learned exclusively. In a tweet sent Wednesday, the actor called for Barron to be “ripped” from Melania’s arms and put in a cage “with pedophiles.”

Following Melania Trump weighing in on the emotionally charged debate about border separations, trashy washed up comedian Kathy Griffin lost her mind on Twitter, calling the First Lady a “feckless complicit piece of s–t.”

On Thursday’s “Deadline: White House,” MSNBC host and theoretical Republican Nicolle Wallace wondered aloud about how Melania and Ivanka Trump could possibly put up with the president’s “incredibly sexist, misogynistic views” day-to-day in the White House. Ultimately, Wallace suggested that the Trump women must be “dead inside” or “paid off” to maintain their support of him. The MSNBC host reached her tenuous conclusion together with guest panelist and Vanity Fairreporter Emily Jane Fox during a discussion about Rudy Giuliani’s recent comment that he does not respect Stormy Daniels because she “sells her body for sexual exploitation.”Wallace and Fox began the...

I know it’s #FLOTUSFriday, and we haven’t seen Melania for weeks other than the tiny Instagram image sent from the White House Gold Family event last week. But I did see this photo the other day that reminded me for some reason of you-know-who. A Niki de Saint Phalle statue in the garden of Len and Louise Riggio’s Long Island, New York, house  Photo: Nicholas Alan Cope for WSJ. Magazine So I thought I’d take this opportunity to remind everyone just how fortunate we are. Have a nice weekend, even if it is going to rain (again) like it is...

After they played the clip on Megyn Kelly Today, Kelly read the comments he provided in response to that, saying he stands by his words and that he doesn’t “have to undermine her credibility, she has none.” But Kelly came through, pointing out, of both Trump and Giuliani, “The notion that he respects women of substance, a woman who wont sell her body for sexual exploitation…Melania Trump is classy and gorgeous and I really admire her. But she has posed nude for GQ magazine back in 2000.” As the audience applauded, she added, “I’m not comparing the two, posing nude...

In its unremitting attack on President Trump, Morning Joe might have hit a vulgar new low today when MSNBC analyst John Heilemann alluded to President Trump as a “total scumbag.” Here’s the context: what changed Morning Joe from merely another MSM Trump antagonist into raging, Trump-hating fanatics was a 2017 Trump tweet claiming that Mika Brzezinski had turned up at Mar-a-Lago bleeding from a facelift. So when Trump yesterday tweeted criticism of those who speculated that Melania’s recent absence from public view was attributable to a facelift, Morning Joe pounced. Scarborough and Heilemann unleashed a string of epithets, including Heilemann’s...

Full title: "President Trump and Vice President Pence Attend the 2018 Hurricane Briefing at FEMA HQ" President Trump begins speaking at about 3m 15s, just after the FEMA guy's opening remarks. He took some to thank each cabinet member individually and say nice things about the job they were doing. Except for Sessions. The President gave him a very perfunctory "Thank you Jeff. Thank you very much." President Trump, with the beautiful First Lady by his side, gave a lesson as to who the alpha male is. He humiliated Sessions in the most public way imaginable while the rest of...

It is the integrity, professionalism and decency of the media of the day that is seriously MIA No matter how outlandishly mainstream and social media try to spin their latest yarn, Melania Trump is not, and was never, Missing in Action (MIA). It is the integrity, professionalism and decency of the media of the day that is seriously MIA. The sharks of mainstream and social media hungrily need Melania in plain sight, so that they can take vicious potshots at her even as she recuperates from her 3-week-old benign kidney embolisation procedure.

First lady Melania Trump returned to the White House on Saturday following several days in the hospital after a kidney procedure, her office announced. The first lady was released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., five days after a procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. “She is resting comfortably and remains in high spirits,” the White House said in a statement. “Our office has received thousands of calls and emails wishing Mrs. Trump well, and we thank everyone who has taken the time to reach out.” Her office has described the procedure as a success,...

Need more evidence that there are two Americas? Here: Left-wing hatred of Melania Trump is inversely proportional to flyover admiration for the first lady. In just the last month, late-night clown Jimmy Kimmel mocked Trump's Slovenian accent, CNN contributor April Ryan attacked her as "not culturally American," former Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines derided her genteel presence at former President George H.W. Bush's funeral, and horror writer Stephen King snickered at her hospitalization this week for kidney surgery. Yet, while partisans in the political press and entertainment media work hard to stoke division against and resentment of the Trump...

Americans' homecoming. VP President already arrived at AFB. Secretary Of State Pompeo should land shortly with freed Americans.

Yesterday First Lady Melania Trump introduced her new initiative "Be Best," with a goal of promoting healthy behaviors and ending cyber bullying among children. "There is one goal to Be Best and that is to educate children about the many issues they are facing today. If we truly listen to what our kids have to say, whether it be their concerns or ideas, adults can provide them the support and tools they need to grow up to be happy and productive adults who contribute positively to society and their global communities," Mrs. Trump said during a Rose Garden ceremony....

How wildly irresponsible was the speculation by this MSNBC guest? So bad that even Chris Matthews instructed viewers to ignore it. On this evening’s Hardball, a lawyer named Katie Phang imagined that President Trump has refused to acknowledge having had an affair with Stormy Daniels because: “There is an exceptional ‘cheat clause’ with his prenuptial agreement that he has with Melania Trump.” That bit of conjecture was more than even Matthews could stomach: Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

No gratitude No grace, No diplomacy No class When Brigette Macron returned home after a Washington, D.C. trip that included a State Dinner, she showed no gratitude no grace, no diplomacy and no class. Like the giddy teen who told every detail what really went down at her best friend’s pyjama party, Madam Macron told the world that first lady Melania Trump is “constrained in the White House where she “cannot even open a window”.

This has been the fortnight of the first ladies. Last week, the focus was on two former first ladies, one through mourning and fond admiring recollections, and one through yet another book of scathing analytical criticism. Barbara Bush was celebrated for her blunt dignity. Hillary Clinton was recalled for her campaign of blunt excuses for her own failures. In death, Bush was praised as an old-fashioned matriarch speaking her mind with a sharp tongue, loved by family and lauded as the wife of one president and the mother of another. In life, Clinton has never been at home in...

This is far too epic-worthy not to achieve a bit more attention. Twitter handle IWillRedPillYou did a little digging on the more nuanced aspects from last night’s State Dinner, held by President Trump and Melania Trump to honor French President Macron and Brigitte Macron, and discovered a hilarious detail: “Get this: The China (dinette set) Trump Ordered Used Tuesday Night for the Macron Dinner? Same China Bill and Hillary Clinton STOLE from the White House and Were Forced to Return (Dead Serious – Trump = Master Troll)” [Tweet Link]

First lady Melania Trump’s menu for the state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte was described as “froo-froo [sic] garbage” by a conservative pundit, who suggested the fare was out of touch.In a tweet, Erick Erickson mocked the menu selected by Melania—who eschewed an event planner in favor of organizing the occasion herself—which included a rack of lamb and jambalaya... Erick Erickson ✔ @EWErickson This menu is why I could never be President: http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/384422-first-lady-releases-menu-details-for-macrons-state-visit … I'd serve fried chicken and mashed potatoes with sweet potato pie for dessert. None of this unpronounceable froo-froo garbage.1:14 PM - Apr 23,...
