Melania Clarifies: Defense of Husband’s Conduct in Past is Not Defense of Today’s Tweets

On Thursday afternoon, the spokesperson for First Lady Melania Trump issued a clarification: a statement earlier in the day indicating Melania supported her husband’s criticism of Mika Brzezinski was an error. Let’s break this down. On Thursday morning, President Trump issued two tweets criticising the morning Joe team, specifically tarteting Brzezinski who he said was “bleeding badly” from a face-lift on New Years Eve, a crime for which he denied her entrance to Mar-A-Lago. Trump’s intent with this tweet was clear: he wanted to humiliate Brzezinski, targeting her vanity to tear her down the same way he has torn...

Cardinal and Pope Adviser Charged With Sexual Assault of Minors

A key adviser for the Pope has been charged with sexual assault, a sign that while the Papacy is improving, there is still much work to be done.

We know that the President has no respect for women. We know that he is all-too-willing to express that lack of respect in low attacks. We know this, and yet we continue to be surprised at just how low he will go. On Thursday morning, President Trump issued another of his unexpected attacks against an “enemy,” this time, Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski.   I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came.. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017 …to Mar-a-Lago 3...

Disturbing New NRA Propaganda Basically Advocates Violence Against Liberals

On Wednesday, the National Rifle Association released a targeted new ad which attempted to rally support for guns and gun culture by talking nonstop about out-of-control liberals. The dark ad is raising quite a bit of outrage and concern – and for good reason. For the entirety of the one-minute ad, NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch refers to the anonymous “they” who are protesting, criticizing the president, and making the poor police carry out violence against them.   This NRA ad is an open call to violence to protect white supremacy. If I made a video like this, I’d be...
