Fake News: Journalists Invent ‘Awkward’ Handshake Snub of Trump

In the latest example of fake news, journalists on Thursday hyperventilated about a supposed dramatic snub of Donald Trump by Poland’s first lady.

Russell Brand with Naomi Klein: 'We Need to Kill Our Inner Trump'

Can popular comedians actually contribute something of value to this world, or are they stuck mindlessly mimicking liberal intellectuals? Case in point: Russell Brand and his Under the Skin podcasts.

When (Fantasy) Worlds Collide: ‘Game of Thrones’ and Climate Change

Is Game of Thrones an allegory for climate change? Apparently this has been an ongoing topic for debate amongst liberals. They think Yara Greyjoy is Hillary Clinton. Vanity Fair’s latest hit at the topic compares the characters of the popular fantasy realm to the main players in the climate change fantasy realm …, er, debate. And its hero worship of liberals is out of control.

On Thursday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie fretted over how President Trump would handle himself in his upcoming meeting with Russian president and “master manipulator” Vladimir Putin, who “certainly will know how to press the President’s buttons.” MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace had little faith in Trump’s abilities as she ranted: “I think that the White House has successfully lowered the…

CNN Appalled Trump Talking Politics Overseas, Were Silent Under Obama

CNN's New Day started Thursday off with an extraordinarily hypocritical attack on President Trump. Co-host Chris Cuomo criticized the President for talking politics overseas: "The idea of the President of the United States. And again, usually, customarily, you go across to trumpet American values. You leave somewhat of the political interplay here at home. He didn't do that.”
