How Ironic: Pro-Abortion 'View' Hosts Celebrate Co-host's Pregnancy

Wednesday, ABC’s The View devoted an entire show to expectant host Abby Huntsman, celebrating her pregnancy with a baby shower and packed the audience with pregnant women.

Rob Reiner Still Crying Collusion: 'The Russians Robbed the Bank'

On Sunday's AM Joy on MSNBC, leftist activist and movie director Rob Reiner desperately clung to shreds of hope that someone might still recognize that Donald Trump is a crook that needs to be impeached.
