Anthem Booed in Mexico, Media Focus on Homophobic Slurs
President Trump did not attend Sunday's international soccer match pitting Team USA vs. Mexico in Mexico City, but he was topic numero uno south of the border.

New Comedy Central Host Hates the NRA
For an hour, Mr. Mackey sat on my screen chanting “Guns are bad, Mkay.” Just minutes into the June 11th comedy special, all was clear: gun owners are “dumb people” with small—what drives liberals’ constant fascination with human sexual anatomy—who are being led like mindless sheep by the big, bad NRA. Although he never mentions the Brady Campaign or any of Michael Bloomberg’s bevy of anti-gun…

Alt-Left Insanity: Wonder Woman Isn’t LGBTQ Or Black Enough for Libs
