The mother of a Marine killed in the Kabul airport attack called President Joe Biden a 'dementia-riddent piece of crap' as the president meets with families of the 13 fallen service members on Sunday 'My son was one of the Marines that died yesterday,' Kathy McCollum said in a radio interview on Friday of her 20-year-old late son Rylee. '[He was] getting ready to come home from freaking Jordan to be with his wife to watch the birth of his son,' McCollum said. 'And that sackless, dementia ridden piece of crap just sent my son to die.' 'I woke up...

Just like Howard's Scream in Bygone Election Days, Kathy Griffin's ISIS Photo Image of our President has become a game changer. An Image Too Far. For some reason, our nation rallies around and gloms onto a 'flashpoint' that embodies a Cultural Conversation. In this case,.....thank you Kathy Griffin.....for providing us with that flashpoint. Your 'too-cute-by-half' image has served to turn many decent Dems/Centrists away from what you externalize as reflects the internal life of the Progressive Liberal Culture. Decent people do not want you or your ilk.

Kathy Griffin's offensive against Donald Trump Friday apparently fell on deaf ears ... because the only remaining venue that would allow her to perform has just pulled the plug.We've learned Kathy's concert at the Uptown Theatre in Napa scheduled for June 17 has been canceled. This follows 6 other cancelations, including bergenPAC in New Jersey which canceled hours before Kathy's news conference.The Uptown Theatre cancelation is especially significant because the decision was apparently made after she took the mic with her lawyer. The Uptown folks said on Wednesday the show would go on, but they clearly had a change of...

How could Kathy Griffin think she didn't cross a line with her Islamic State group-beheads-the-president imitation? In a sense, her ignorance is understandable. Since Donald Trump was elected, there have been no lines to cross. Anything ... everything ... has been acceptable. The challenge has been not to temper the outrage but to push its limits. It was "art," she claimed at first. Despite taping a video apology, she was dumped by CNN, which had promoted this "comedian" for 10 years as New Year's Eve entertainment in Times Square alongside Anderson Cooper. It tells you everything you need to know...

""Kathy Griffin to Hold Press Conference to Address Controversial Photo Shoot, ‘Bullying From Trump Family’""" Kathy Griffin and attorney Lisa Bloom have scheduled a press conference on Friday where Griffin will elaborate on her decision to do a photo shoot in which she held up a bloody prop that resembled Donald Trump’s severed head. In a press announcement she posted on Twitter, Bloom said that she and Griffin will “explain the true motivation behind the image, and respond to the bullying from the Trump family she has endured.”

One of the pillars of democracy erodes before our eyes. The ability to disagree with the politically different disintegrates under red and black flags, and hooded rioters obscuring their faces. It’s not Donald Trump’s secret police. It’s not something out of a dystopian novel. It’s the very real culture of permissive violence exploding from today’s left. Bit by bit, this sort of behavior becomes quickly normalized (in the parlance du jour) and escalated. While there’s generally been blackout coverage of these “mostly peaceful” riots in the legacy media, every once in awhile something breaks through. Such is the case with...

Ken Jennings, the ‘Jeopardy!” champ who holds the longest winning streak for the game show, took to Twitter Wednesday to mock President Donald Trump’s 11-year-old son. “Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster. He thought it was his dad & his little heart is breaking,” wrote Mr. Jennings shortly before 2:30 p.m. Eastern time. The tweet appears to be a reference to a report by TMZ.com that young Barron cried when he saw a photo of comedian Kathy Griffin holding what looked like the bloody, severed head of the nation’s...

BERKELEY — The arrest of a former Diablo Valley College professor on Wednesday is connected to the use of a bike lock in the beating of three people during a rally for President Donald Trump last month, police said Thursday. Eric Clanton remained in custody in lieu of $200,000 bail at Berkeley Jail on Thursday and will be arraigned Friday morning at 9 a.m. at Oakland’s Wiley W. Manuel courthouse.

Minutes after fatalities were confirmed at the Ariana Grande terrorist attack in Manchester, UK a smartass CBS reporter named David Leavitt thought it would be funny to mock the victims. Leavitt says he is a freelance wirter for CBS, AXS, Yahoo, and the Examiner. In a shocking tweet, he said: He also wished Trump would die:

Billionaire investor George Soros has confirmed he wants to bring down Europe's borders, following the accusation made last week by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Last week, Mr Orban accused Mr Soros – who was born in Hungary – of deliberately encouraging the migrant crisis. "This invasion is driven, on the one hand, by people smugglers, and on the other by those (human rights) activists who support everything that weakens the nation-state," Mr Orban said. "This Western mindset and this activist network is perhaps best represented by George Soros." Mr Soros has now issued an email statement to Bloomberg Business,...

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Former President Jimmy Carter said on Friday the "atrocious economic policies" of the Bush administration had caused the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Carter told reporters on a stopover in Brussels that "profligate spending," massive borrowing and dramatic tax cuts since President George W. Bush took office in 2001 were behind the market turmoil and economic crisis.

Hagel lags in Iowa '08 parade BY JAKE THOMPSON WASHINGTON - In two weeks, when Sen. Chuck Hagel takes his first step on the Iowa section of the 2008 presidential campaign trail, he will find a hard, well-trod path. Among fellow Republicans, New York Gov. George Pataki is preparing for his third Iowa visit. Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas has popped in at least five times. So has Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee is headlining a big GOP dinner soon in Iowa. Democrats weighing White House bids have been tramping across the Hawkeye State,...

On the day terrorism returned to the streets of London, I was on the Internet reading The Weekly Standard Magazine, the issue dated July 27, 2005. (Snip) Apologists for Israel are still trying to find excuses for the unjustified war on Iraq, and they have adopted Goebbels' philosophy more than Goebbels himself did. This is why they keep going back day after day, month after month, year after year, to a relationship that never existed between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.

Ramallah - Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is suffering from a potentially fatal blood disorder which will require more tests outside the West Bank to determine the cause, one of the doctors treating him said Thursday. "His blood cells which should normally destroy microbes are currently destroying blood platelets," the doctor said on condition of anonymity. The disorder could have been triggered "by an inflammation caused by a virus, a cancer or blood poisoning," he told reporters. The supplemtary tests could not be conducted in Arafat's West Bank headquarters where he is currently being treated, he added. "The doctors think that...
