It’s always amusing to see which traditional liberals have been pushed too far by leftists. Not that this is the first time Alan Dershowitz has strayed (see Alan Dershowitz Throws Down on Idiots Who Blame Terrorism on Poverty… and WATCH: Alan Dershowitz Face-Stomps Obama Over Anti-Israel Resolution). It is, however, the most blunt he’s been about it. I’m not worried about a few dozen people with swastikas who want to replace the Jews, because they’re our past. They have no resonance on university campuses today. But the hard, hard left? Anti-Semitism, anti-Christianity, intolerance for speech. It’s the future. These are...

BC's Jimmy Kimmel is once again using his show as a political platform, encouraging his audience to vote out of office Republicans donate money to EveryTown.org, a gun control group seeking to "end gun violence in America." The host aimed his most pointed criticism at President Trump, saying, "You're obviously mentally ill." "You’ve literally done nothing," on guns, Kimmel complained. "Actually, you’ve done worse than nothing. You like to say this is a mental health issue. One of your very first acts as president, Mr. Trump, was to roll back the regulations that were designed to keep firearms out of...

The president and founder of Kentucky’s Creation Museum in Petersburg and the Ark Encounter in Williamstown has been dropped as a speaker at the University of Central Oklahoma after a LGBT group objected. Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, had been scheduled to speak March 5 at the public university in Edmond, Okla. Stockton Duvall, student body president at the university, took responsibility for the decision to rescind Ham’s invitation after learning of the opposition to his visit. Duvall told The Oklahoman newspaper that a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning group opposed Ham’s visit because of his view...

Article II of the Constitution gives states broad authority to decide how their electoral votes are selected and divided among the candidates. In 48 states, the candidate who gets the most votes wins all of the state’s electoral votes. But the Constitution doesn’t require that rule. Maine and Nebraska have implemented district- by-district voting. One electoral vote goes to the winner in each congressional district, and the remaining two electoral votes are awarded to the winner of the statewide popular vote. Assume, however, that a state enacts a law giving all its electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins...

President Donald Trump said many words during his hour and 20 minute long State of the Union address Tuesday evening, but he did not mention women once. Trump’s first year in office was a landmark year for women, as the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements shaped political and popular culture. Multiple elected and appointed officials were forced to resign after admitting to sexual harassment and assault, and more women than ever will run for office in 2018. The president, meanwhile, made several attempts to limit access to reproductive care, refused to call himself a feminist and was accused of cheating...

David Cay Johnston, one of America’s foremost experts on President Donald J. Trump, returns to the GME Canandaigua Forum on January 28, 2018. Mr. Johnston has just released his second book about the 45th President, entitled It’s Even Worse Than You Think. What the Trump Administration is Doing to America.

After completing a new review process instituted after a disruptive protest in November, the University of Connecticut has decided to restrict public access to Ben Shapiro's upcoming lecture on campus. Administrators also sent an email to students earlier this month offering counseling services to those who might feel offended by Shapiro’s conservative views.The University of Connecticut has decided to restrict public access to Wednesday’s Ben Shapiro talk following a new “review” process that will be applied to all campus speakers. According to Young America’s Foundation, the organization set to sponsor the event, the only guests allowed to attend Shapiro’s January...

A few months ago, “The Daily Show” had a recurring segment asking, “Who is the real president?” Their roundup included influential conservatives in and out of the White House. Since President Donald Trump has proven time and time again that he is easily played – it is clear from his conduct and his statements that Trump does not know what he’s doing as president – anyone from Satan to Vladimir Putin could be featured on the list. Given his ignorance, a president who has little-to-no understanding of how government works must be influenced by a more knowledgeable party, if for...

Brietbart is completly negative, ripping Trump right now. Every story is anti-Trump and the idiot editor just wrote that Trump is the reason for a blue wave in 2018. Traitors.

Former CIA Director John Brennan said Thursday that Lady Liberty is "weeping" over President Trump's "atrocious" reference to immigrants being from "shithole" countries. "Lady Liberty, our founding fathers, and generations of right-thinking Americans are all weeping tonight over the atrocious comments attributed to Donald Trump, who continues to demonstrate daily that he is a deeply flawed person," Brennan tweeted.

One day last year, a citizen on a prairie path in the Chicago suburb of Elmhurst came upon a teen boy chopping wood. Not a body. Just some already-fallen branches. Nonetheless, the onlooker called the cops. Officers interrogated the boy, who said he was trying to build a fort for himself and his friends. A local news site reports the police then "took the tools for safekeeping to be returned to the boy's parents." Elsewhere in America, preschoolers at the Learning Collaborative in Charlotte, North Carolina, were thrilled to receive a set of gently used playground equipment. But the kids...

At least two groups are organizing demonstrations to protest against President Donald Trump when he visits Atlanta Monday for the College Football Playoff title game. Refuse Fascism ATL says they'll "take a knee against Trump" outside CNN's world headquarters near the stadium at 6 p.m., which is shortly before Trump’s planned arrival to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and two hours before kickoff. The NAACP also said it plans to lead a protest before the game between the University of Alabama and the University of Georgia. “Trump has made a terrible decision and is disrupting (the game) with his presence,” the NAACP’s local...

Most Americans were probably drop-jawed to learn there was a state in the union where government overseers prohibited the people from pumping their own gas. The ultra-progressive and ever-controlling Oregon Legislature had banned this otherwise normal behavior for more than 50 years, ostensibly to provide some form of protection for its residents. This is the practical reality of the general principle that government coddling creates entitlement, pampered residents with fewer freedoms, and reduced abilities to live independently. Oregon has been telling its residents for generations they are incapable of pumping their own gas, and now there are generations of Oregonians...

An Oregon Democrat has become the first member of Congress to announce a boycott of the State of the Union address. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, who represents much of Portland and its eastern suburbs, announced he will not attend the presidential tradition on January 30, Pete Hegseth reported. Blumenauer said on Twitter that he would instead be "working at home listening to Oregonians about what they think about the State of the Union [address]." He warned that the speech would be another example of President Donald Trump's "destructive, divisive" dialogue.

One Washington, D.C.-based therapist’s clients have 99 problems, and they all seem to be about President Donald Trump.Elisabeth Joy LaMotte, a psychotherapist and founder of the DC Counseling and Psychotherapy Center, writes in The Washington Post that a number of her patients have been complaining that the media’s fixation on Trump is taking a toll on their personal lives.One couple that she works with (who she names Sally and Steve) have been seeing LaMotte to “strengthen their communication and feel more connected.” It seemed like they were making real progress.  That is, until Trump won.  She quotes Steve: Sally and...

I knew this would happen the minute I saw that the robo-Trump animatronic likeness was ready to join the Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World. First, there were rumors that Disney actually made a Hillary-bot (expecting her to win) and then had to rig it to look like Trump. They failed. It doesn't. But I predicted that the next controversy to hit Disney World would be related to the Trump-bot (and I told several people to wait for it because it's coming). The Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) sufferers aren't going to let you and your tots have a nice...

Ultra liberal crank Alyssa Milano completely melted down Saturday after reading Trump’s tweets. The washed up actress said she ended up in a fetal position wearing a Cinderella tiara after reading some of President Trump’s tweets.

An anti-Trump protester proudly heckled the animatronic of President Trump at Walt Disney World and posted a video of his “protest” to social media this week. Jay Malsky, an actor and comedian, created a scene at Walt Disney World’s Hall of Presidents attraction earlier this week, much to the confusion of families in attendance. Right before the animatronic of President Trump was started to speak, Malsky started a series of “Lock him up” chants. Malsky immediately faced a backlash on social media after he decided to share the video he recorded of his protest. In a comment to The Wrap,...

Colleges may not celebrate Christmas, but they have no shortage of snowflakes. "A few years ago, Boston College psychology professor emeritus Peter Gray was invited by the head of counseling services at a major university to a conference on 'the decline in resilience among students,'" Lenore Skenazy and Jonathan Haidt write in the latest issue of Reason magazine. "The organizer said that emergency counseling calls had doubled in the last five years." "What's more, callers were seeking help coping with everyday problems, such as arguments with a roommate. Two students had dialed in because they'd found a mouse in their...
