On Thursday afternoon, WWE founder and chairman Vince McMahon announced he is bringing the XFL back and is “going to give the game of football back to the fans.” BREAKING: "The new XFL will kick off in 2020, and quite frankly, we're going to give the game of football back to fans." – @VinceMcMahon pic.twitter.com/t6B6jm7vgZ — WWE (@WWE) January 25, 2018 The announcement of the return comes just as an NFL season comes to an end that has been filled with political drama and criticism from President Donald Trump over protests during the national anthem. “People don’t want social and political issues coming into play when they are trying to be entertained. We want someone who wants to take a knee to do their version of that on their personal time,” McMahon said. He will be the owner of all of the teams in the league; therefore, he will be able to set the rules. “I can say, ‘Here are the rules, and as long as you are playing football in the stadium for us, you follow...

Bill Clinton waived to a pedestrian and gave the thumbs up while his black SUV idled at a stop light in New York City — but the mood changed quickly when the man yelled “How’s Monica?” Video of the exchange was shared on Twitter Thursday, with the unidentified man exchanging small talk with Clinton. The man originally yells “What up Bill Clinton?” and “You the best President man,” and “Trump gotta go” repeatedly. The man then told Clinton he was the “Best president alive, man” to which the 43rd President can be faintly heard saying “Thank you” and giving a salute and a thumbs up. “Tell Hillary I said ‘What up?’ Bill Clinton,” the man yells at a smiling Clinton. Clinton’s reaction? He rolled the window up.

The Physician to the President Navy Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson said during Tuesday’s White House press briefing that President Donald Trump requested, then aced, a cognitive ability exam. WATCH: Reporters have suggested for months that Trump is mentally unstable, and NBC’s Hallie Jackson was quick to ask about the president’s mental health during the briefing. Trump was not initially supposed to receive a cognitive exam during his first presidential trip to the doctor, but Dr. Jackson said that Trump specifically requested the exam himself. “I had absolutely no concerns about his cognitive ability or his — you know, neurological function,” Jackson asserted. “I was not going to do a cognitive exam. I had no intention of doing one. The reason we did the cognitive assessment is plain and simple because the president asked me to do it.” Jackson then explained that the president did “exceedingly well” on the exam and he has no reasons to question his mental ability. “The president did e...

Donald Trump opened himself to the White House press corps for the first time after Democratic lawmakers leaked his controversial “s***hole” comments to the media last week, and delivered yet another exchange with reporters in the process. Trump held a brief avail with the press in the Oval Office Tuesday afternoon while meeting with President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan. Trump touted economic achievement over the last couple months of his administration, noting the historically low black unemployment numbers and the return of manufacturing jobs. After the comments, Trump thanked the press for being there. As staffers asked the press to leave the Oval Office, a barrage of questions were shouted at the president. Many were shouted by CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta. Acosta loudly asked about Norway and Steve Bannon, causing the White House staff to reprimand him with a quick ” Jim, thank you. Please exit. Thanks, everyone.” Trump, for his part, had a one word respons...

One of President Donald Trump’s regular pastimes is pointing out what those in the “fake news” media are doing wrong. On a fairly regular basis, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders follows suit. Greatest story of the year: booming @realDonaldTrump economy. Worst prediction for the year: http://pic.twitter.com/b6PGzp48zM — Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 29, 2017 http://pic.twitter.com/u9MHhxkOt0 — Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) January 13, 2018 Here is the official audio showing WSJ misquoting @POTUS http://pic.twitter.com/wVwoafYkHg — Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) January 14, 2018 Here is the official audio showing WSJ misquoting @POTUS http://pic.twitter.com/wVwoafYkHg — Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) January 14, 2018 We first contacted the WSJ Friday morning and asked for a correction.

Thursday on his Fox News Channel show, Tucker Carlson reacted to President Donald Trump’s reported reference to “shithole countries” and the criticism the president has received in response. Carlson defended Trump, saying the comments are something “that almost every single person in America agrees with.” Partial transcript as follows: Today, as you doubtless heard, during immigration talks, President Trump said something that almost every single person in America actually agrees with. An awful lot of immigrants come to this country from places that aren’t very nice. Those places are dangerous, they’re dirty, they’re corrupt and they’re poor, and that’s the main reason those immigrants are trying to come here and you would, too, if you live there. President Trump asked why America doesn’t receive immigrants from places you might want to visit on vacation. Why aren’t we getting more people from Norway, he said, which by almost any measure, including the UN’s measures, is the most d...

Immigration must be “rational,” says the fiery Italian archbishop Luigi Negri, because uncontrolled immigration leads to the “crushing and extermination of our society.” “You can’t just open the doors, as if it were a party,” Negri states in an interview with Italian media Tuesday. It is essential to “highlight the economic, human and cultural costs of immigration,” since failing to do so means caving into “ideology.” “I am a Catholic and therefore I believe in welcoming diversity,” said Negri, the recently retired archbishop of Ferrara-Comacchio and a close friend of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, “but this cannot be unmeasured because otherwise it leads to a crushing and extermination of our society.” “This is not the way that Christian Europe down through the centuries integrated elements of novelty that contributed to bringing about its richness,” he said. Asked why the globalist movement is pushing so hard for increased immigration, Negri said that they are ideologically driven t...

Following a regular season where most NFL fans decided they had better things to do on Sunday afternoons than watch football; it appears those same fans still have better things to do on Saturdays and Sundays in the postseason. The first round of playoffs suffered double-digit ratings drops, as the NFL begins the most important part of its calendar year, Awful Announcing reported. Saturday’s Tennessee Titans-Kansas City Chiefs game didn’t deliver for ESPN or ABC, losing two full ratings points over last year’s game. The game drew a 14.7 overnight rating compared to last years 16.6 for the Houston Texans-L.A. Raiders game. It was the worst rating since 2012, Awful Announcing said. Later that evening, the Atlanta Falcons-Los Angeles Rams game did only a little better, seeing a similar if not quite as bad ratings loss. According to SportsTVRatings, the Falcons-Rams game lost 10 percent over last year’s game. Titans/Chiefs = 14.7, down 11% from 16.6 for last year's Texan's Ra...

Legendary University of Georgia running back Herschel Walker made an appearance Monday on “Fox & Friends” to talk about his school’s upcoming national championship game against the University of Alabama and his friend President Donald Trump, who will be at the game. Walker said Trump has been “getting a raw deal” with people “forgetting” about respecting the office. “[W]e voted for him to be president, and because of that, we have to respect him as our president,” Walker stated.

In recent days, media coverage has been relatively centered around the claims made in Michael Wolff’s new book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.” Former Fox News host Eric Bolling tweeted Friday that detractors needed a “shiny object” to take away from President Donald Trump’s economic success: The left needed a shiny object to distract from the massive economic successes . @realDonaldTrump has delivered for America. Maybe they’re tired of #winning … #maga . https://t.co/AWeBkKZegG — Eric Bolling (@ericbolling) January 6, 2018 “The Ellen Show” producer Andy Lassner sarcastically responded, “Yeah that’s it. Lol.” Bolling asked if Lassner denied that Trump has improved the economy, which is largely being ignored: Ok let’s dance… do you deny the economy has raged under @realDonaldTrump ? And that the left leaning media chooses to ignore that and instead- linger on Russia and a book filled with inaccuracies supported by questionable sources? https://t.co/xY1NWRxpf0 ...

Gallup released its annual list of the men and women who Americans admire most. Sitting atop both lists were two liberal icons, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, respectively. Obama and Clinton have had long runs at the number one spot, but among the celebrities and politicians who made it on the list were notable Republicans. Donald Trump was the number two most admired man. The president was joined by Republicans John McCain and Mike Pence on the list, along with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, it was the list of most popular women in the world that raised some eyebrows. Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama were number one and number two on the list but three notable Republican women made it into the top 10. 7. Condoleezza Rice 8. Melania Trump 9. Nikki Haley These three beat out Beyoncé and Kate Middleton. Gallup goes on to note that while Obama and Hillary have had the top spots for years, their popularity has taken a big hit. Clinton’s and Obama’s standi...

“Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart,” President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter on Saturday morning. Trump accused Democratic opponents of his presidency and “the fake news mainstream media” of trying to use mental health questions to challenge him as they did with Ronald Reagan. “I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star, to President of the United States (on my first try),” Trump wrote. “I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!” Trump said his political enemies were trying to raise questions about his mental stability because the Russian collusion story was a “total hoax.” He also reminded critics that Hillary Clinton lost miserably despite trying to raise questions about his character and mental health to voters. Trump is currently at Camp David, where he is meeting with Republican leaders in Congress and members of his Cabinet to discuss his ag...

On Thursday night, Sean Hannity of Fox News got fired up and went savage on a guest who was defending Hillary Clinton. The argument stemmed from the newly launched investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Tomi Lahren started with a fiery statement in which she asked the guest Jessica Tarlov when we were going to “hear from Hillary in all of this,” because “she seems to like to talk quite a bit” about Trump but has been silent since the investigation was announced. Tarlov fired back, saying that nothing would “come out about Hillary” and that “these are reopening investigations that have been settled.” Then she backed up those claims by saying that Jeff Sessions is just “scared of Donald Trump,” and that’s the only reason he opened the investigations. She said Sessions did so because Trump goes on Twitter and says “lock her up again” and “my DOJ is supposed to be doing this.” Lahren then pressed her asking, “Do you think that it’s important that we investigate this?” Tarlov respon...

The illegal immigrant and seven-time felon who was acquitted of murder and assault in the 2015 San Francisco fatal shooting of 32-year old Kate Steinle was sentenced to three years in prison on Friday. Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, who has been in custody since shortly after the shooting, was credited for time served. He will be on parole for 48 months and will remain in custody to face federal charges. The case sparked national debate over immigration reform and so-called Sanctuary Cities that shield illegals from deportation, of which San Francisco is one. The felony possession was the only conviction to come out of Garcia Zarate’s trial in November. The jury decided Steinle’s death, the result of a ricochet bullet fired from roughly 100 feet away, was an accident. At a hearing Friday, Garcia Zarate entered the courtroom wearing huge oversized bright orange sweatshirt and sweatpants. He was uncuffed and smiling as he shook the hand of each member of his defense team, including new att...

President Donald Trump ignored a reporter’s question Friday on whether former adviser Steve Bannon should be fired from Breitbart. Bannon told author Michael Wolff that he believes Donald Trump Jr. committed treason by arranging a meeting in Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer. Those comments and Trump’s responses have dominated the news cycle this week. Leaving the White House for a weekend at Camp David with Republican leaders, Trump stopped for a moment to give a brief statement to the press in a bitter 5 degree wind chill. “I’m going over with the senators,” he said. “We’re going to Camp David. We have a lot of things to work on, a lot of things to accomplish. The stock market is up very, very big today. We’ve set new records, and I think they’ll be continued to set.”  “The tax cuts are really kicking in far beyond what anyone thought,” he continued. “Numerous companies have today come out and announced they’re going to make big payments to their employees, something that nobod...

Hillary Clinton might still be wondering “What Happened” as far as losing the election goes, and now, her and former President Bill Clinton’s foundation is under investigation by the FBI. As Clinton has been tweeting her concerns over families worrying about their children having health care, FBI agents in Little Rock, Arkansas, have been delving into the Clinton Foundation. So what’s going on? The FBI is looking into whether the Clintons did any favors for donors who contributed to their organization. On Thursday, The Hill reported: The Justice Department has launched a new inquiry into whether the Clinton Foundation engaged in any pay-to-play politics or other illegal activities while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, law enforcement officials and a witness tells The Hill. FBI agents from Little Rock, Ark., where the foundation was started, have taken the lead in the investigation and have interviewed at least one witness in the last month, and law enforcement offici...

Despite the claim of Iranian Revolutionary Guard officials that they have squashed the protests in Iran, they are still massive. The regime is trying to stop the information about them from getting out by cutting off the social media in the country. But the protesters, who are very appreciative of the supportive words of President Donald Trump are in desperate need of communications to continue to get the word out. From Fox News: “Here is real hell,” a 31-year-old protest leader in Tehran, who Fox News will identify only as Azi, said in a telephone interview during the early hours of Wednesday morning. “This is a real revolution against the mullahs. Iran is uprising. I thank Mr. Trump for his support, but we need more.” President Trump has taken to Twitter several times to note the protests in Iran, and on Wednesday morning hinted the U.S. could become more involved – in due time. “Such respect for the people of Iran as they try to take back their corrupt government. You will see g...

Former FBI Director James Comey’s original memo regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server was edited by FBI staffers to remove five references suggesting Clinton engaged in activities that would suggest felony and misdemeanor charges, according to obtained copies of the original memo. The original Comey memo concluded that it was “reasonably likely” that Clinton’s private server was accessed or hacked by hostile entities, adding that there was no evidence to prove that assertion. FBI subordinates changed that characterization to the weaker it was “possible.” The document also details that on five separate occasions the memo was altered from terms such as “grossly negligent,” which would imply evidence supporting felony and misdemeanor crimes, to the more innocuous “extremely careless.” The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched a new investigation into the Clinton Foundation, as reported by The Hill on Thursday night. The full draft and edits of t...

Meryl Streep, a long-time friend of Harvey Weinstein, recently attacked the first lady and first daughter for being “silent” on sexual assault. Streep was pressed by the New York Times for her perceived silence over disgraced movie Mogul Harvey Weinstein’s horrific sexual assaults on women. Streep, who once called Weinstein “God,” has starred in a number of Weinstein movies over multiple decades. In the interview, Streep doubled down on the claim that she had no knowledge of Weinstein’s behavior. When she was pressed further about her years of silence on Weinstein’s open secret, she lashed out at the first lady and first daughter. Streep told the interviewer: I don’t want to hear about the silence of me. I want to hear about the silence of Melania Trump. I want to hear from her. She has so much that’s valuable to say. And so does Ivanka. I want her to speak now. Ivanka Trump has served as an outspoken advocate for sexual assault victims. Responding to the comments Ivanka’s brother...

North Korea accidentally crashed a missile into a town outside Pyongyang, possibly causing an explosion and casualties while testing weapons for their nuclear program, U.S. government sources claimed. Citing “a U.S. government source with knowledge of North Korea’s weapons programs,” the Diplomat reported on Wednesday that a Hwasong-12 Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) was launched in April 2017 near Pukchang Airfield in South Pyongan Province, before crashing into the city of Tokchun after traveling around 24 miles from a minute in flight. The crash reportedly caused “considerable damage to a complex of industrial or agricultural buildings,” although the extent of the damage, which would include the number of human casualties, is impossible to quantify due to the secretive nature of North Korea. Images from Google Earth also indicate “ground disturbances in an area that previously contained a building with fencing,” as well as a “portion of the seasonal greenhouse had bee...

The first week of 2018 has been chock full of chaotic, breaking news coming out of the White House. However, most of the news media has had their eyes glued to the blossoming war between POTUS and former Trump staffer Steve Bannon. At Thursday’s White House press briefing, Sarah Sanders was asked a series of questions on the claims in the book, which Trump is currently fighting legally to keep from being published. The book claims that those close to Trump believe he is mentally unfit for office. Sanders was asked by a reporter, “What is the president’s reaction of the suggestions in this book that he is mentally unfit?” Sanders laughed and called the claim and the book “disgraceful and laughable:” Watch:  If [Trump] was unfit, he probably would not be sitting there and would not have defeated the most qualified group of candidates the Republican Party has ever seen. This is an incredibly — strong and good leader, that is why we have had such a successful 2017 and why we are goi...

Much like 2016, NFL television viewership numbers went down again in 2017. Except this time, the viewership numbers dropped by a larger percentage than the previous year. According to USA Today Sports, the average television audience size amongst the NFL’s broadcast partners — CBS, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network, and Fox — fell by 10 percent in 2017. That decline, follows an 8 percent drop from 2016. As USA Today explains, “NFL broadcasts had an average minute audience of 14.9 million compared to 16.5 million in 2016. CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN had a smaller audience than 2016. “ESPN, which included its streaming audience, had the lowest drop among the four networks at a 7.7% decline. Fox had a 9.1% drop, NBC dipped 10.4% and CBS fell 11.2% compared to 2016.” While the consistent year-to-year drop in television numbers supports the argument that the NFL suffers from certain, systemic issues; such as oversaturation, too many penalties, concussion backlash, and no one knowing what constitutes a ...

A team of firefighters reportedly responded Wednesday afternoon to a fire at former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s house in Chappaqua, New York. The news was first shared by The Journal News, a newspaper based in nearby White Plains, New York: #BREAKING : Firefighters responding to a fire at Bill and Hillary Clinton's house in Chappaqua. — lohud.com (@lohud) January 3, 2018 Initial reports indicated the fire started in a bedroom, and it has since been extinguished.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders pushed back when confronted by reporters on Wednesday about President Donald Trump’s tweet directed at North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2018 When one reporter argued the president was “taunting” a world leader with the strongly worded tweet, Sanders shot back a blunt response. “It’s a taunting tweet to say that he has a larger nuclear button,” the reporter said. “I think it’s just a fact,” Sanders responded.

Sen. Al Franken officially resigned on Jan. 2, nearly a month after he announced his plans to step down from Congress amid numerous sexual misconduct allegations that began in November of last year. Aides to the senator told Fox News that Franken has provided his letter of resignation to Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton. Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith, who is replacing Franken, is expected to be sworn in on Wednesday. Franken, a Minnesota Democrat who has been in office since 2009, was plagued by multiple accusations of sexual misconduct over the past month and faced a Senate Ethics Committee investigation. The allegations began after Los Angeles radio anchor Leeann Tweeden accused him of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour. Franken announced he would resign after more than two dozen key Democratic lawmakers called for him to step down. Here’s what will happen to his Senate seat once he leaves office, according to Minnesota election law. 1. Governor appoints a new senator Gov. M...

On New Year’s Day, laws took effect in California banning police from assisting in federal immigration enforcement activities and questioning residents on their immigration status. In layman’s terms, California is now a “sanctuary state,” and plenty of people aren’t happy. To mark the occasion, a prankster has been attaching signs to the California welcome signs on state highways. The signs read: “OFFICIAL SANCTUARY STATE: Felons, Illegals and MS13 welcome.Democrats Need The Votes!” The signs also include the California state seal and the symbol of the Democratic Party.  The signs, which look very official and have appeared in multiple locations around the state, have yet to be claimed by any prankster. California is home to between 2.35 and 2.6 million illegal immigrants,  making up 6 percent of the state’s population. A similar sign appeared in Malibu in April after the city voted for sanctuary status.  According  to FOX 5, the sign read “Official Sanc...

Melania Trump stepped out with her husband President Donald Trump and son Barron Trump at the Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve bash. They were joined by Ivanka and the rest of the family. Melania Trump wore a stunning Erdem gown to the annual New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. She was joined by her husband President Donald Trump, 71, and son Barron, 11.
