During a Monday morning appearance on CNN’s basement-rated New Day, far-left pundit Ana Navarro said comedienne Michelle Wolf “should be the one getting the Nobel Peace Prize.” Navarro, a manic Trump hater, defended Wolf after the comedienne delivered a hate-filled rant directed towards President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway. “I’d say to Michelle Wolf, ‘Hallelujah, girl. You should be the one getting the Nobel Peace Prize,’” Navarro squawked, before adding this somewhat confusing rationale: “She was able to do what nobody else has been able to do: Get Trump supporters to actually go on TV and defend women from being skewered and offended for their looks.” Navarro, who is Hispanic, opened her New Day comments by denigrating Latin America as some sort of hotbed of murder where no one can take a good-natured ribbing from a friend. “I don’t like roasts,” she said. “I think they’re mean-s...

Note: This article contains coarse language that may offend or disturb some readers. White House Correspondents’ dinner comedian Michelle Wolf got some support from others like Kathy Griffin and Rosie O’Donnell, but one comedian appeared displeased and even suggested Wolf wasn’t funny: comedy has to be funny. if ppl aren't laughing, then it's not — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) April 30, 2018 That tweet was just one of many that Roseanne Barr issued on the day after Wolf’s performance. She outlined three rules of comedy: Never target someone more famous than you, comedy should come from love, and the comic shouldn’t portray the audience as an “a**hole”: first rule of comedy: NEVER target someone more famous than U who is in the audience. U will lose the entire crowd. — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) April 29, 2018 second rule of comedy: comedy comes from LOVE, not from HATE! If u feel hate, you won't get laughs. — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) April 2...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) in-laws have ordered 10 massive cargo ships from the Chinese government since the senator’s wife Elaine Chao became Secretary of Transportation. The deep financial ties between the Chao family’s shipping business Foremost Group and the Chinese regime were first revealed in the #1 New York Times bestseller Secret Empires. Foremost Group, which is owned by Sec. Elaine Chao’s father and Sen. McConnell’s father-in-law James S.C. Chao, signed contracts with a subsidiary of the state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) for four bulk cargo ships in June and September 2017. In December 2017, Chao’s company signed another contract with state-owned CSSC at Foremost’s New York office for two massive 210,000-ton ships. James S.C. Chao and two of Elaine’s sisters were in attendance. So, too, was the Consul General of China in New York, as well as representatives from the CSSC. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. T...

A White House official announced on Monday morning that President Donald Trump will be attending the NRA’s Annual Meetings (NRAAM) in Dallas, Texas. NRAAM is scheduled for May 4-6, with Vice President Mike Pence scheduled to speak on the first night. The Associated Press reports that Trump plans to be there on May 4 as well. On April 26 Breitbart News reported that actress Alyssa Milano would be protesting the NRA convention in person. She and the newly formed “No Rifle Association initiative” (#NoRA) plan to protest outside the convention on May 5. Milano launched a petition demanding that VP Pence cancel his speech at the convention. Gun control activist and fellow #NoRA member David Hogg tweeted: Demand Mike Pence cancel his speech to the NRA convention on May 4 https://t.co/IBgOohJg0K @moveon — David Hogg (@davidhogg111) April 29, 2018 Now it is clear that President Trump will be at the convention as well. Trump was a proud ally of the NRA and the Second Amendment throu...

This should teach David Hogg a lesson. Since he arrived on the national scene as a mix of opportunism and arrogance after February’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the teenager has made a name for himself as one of the more pompous anti-gun “survivors” to come out of Broward County. But his latest stunt is likely to show just how hollow Hogg’s platform really is. In a Twitter posting Sunday, Hogg called on his 778,000 Twitter followers to sign a petition demanding that Vice President Mike Pence cancel his planned May 4 speech to the National Rifle Association. The petition was originated by the liberal activist group MoveOn.org and was claiming almost 43,000 signatures by Sunday evening. We can count young Mr. Hogg as one of them – and he wants his followers to join in.

South Korea’s executive Blue House confirmed on Monday that President Moon Jae-in said U.S. President Donald Trump “should win the Nobel Peace Prize” for his efforts in Korea. Moon was holding a meeting of his Cabinet on Monday when the conversation turned to a letter of congratulations written to Moon by Lee Hee-ho, the widow of former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, who died in 2009. During his presidency, Kim was awarded the 2000 Nobel Peace Prize to recognize “his work for democracy and human rights in South Korea and in East Asia in general, and for peace and reconciliation with North Korea in particular.” The crowning achievement of his work with North Korea was a summit meeting in the summer of 2000 with Kim Jong-il, father of current dictator Kim Jong-un. A pessimist might glumly note that the meeting with Kim Jong-il ultimately went nowhere, relations with North Korea degenerated to the brink of war over the following two decades, and Kim Dae-jung’s successor, Moon Jae...

John Zmirak, senior editor at TheStream.org, joined SiriusXM host Rebecca Mansour and special guest host Sam Sorbo for a Friday interview on Breitbart News Tonight. He described recent events surrounding Alfie Evans as illustrative of state usurpation of parental rights and responsibilities over children. Alfie Evans was a critically ill toddler who was recently removed from life support against the wishes of his parents by order of the British government, following a United Kingdom High Court decision on April 11. British authorities also denied the parents’ request to transfer their child to a Vatican-owned children’s hospital for treatment at the invitation of Pope Francis and Vatican officials who offered to cover the child’s healthcare and travel expenses. LISTEN: Alfie Evans died early Saturday. Zmirak said, “What this is really about, the reason the government is fighting this so hard to the point that they’re threatening to arrest people for social media postings, they bul...

President Donald Trump continued his criticism of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) on Twitter, suggesting the event on Saturday night proved the media are biased. “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is DEAD as we know it,” he wrote on Monday. “This was a total disaster and an embarrassment to our great Country and all that it stands for. FAKE NEWS is alive and well and beautifully represented on Saturday night!” Trump’s remarks come after Margaret Talev, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, acknowledged that comedian Michelle Wolf’s performance was “not in the spirit” of its goal for the dinner. “Last night’s program was meant to offer a unifying message about our common commitment to a vigorous and free press while honoring civility, great reporting and scholarship winners, not to divide people,” she wrote in a statement sent to reporters. “Unfortunately, the entertainer’s monologue was not in the spirit of that mission.” Trump said the dinner...

Hollywood actress and gun control activist Alyssa Milano has launched a petition demanding that Vice President Mike Pence skip the NRA’s upcoming annual meetings. Pence is scheduled to speak at the NRA gathering on May 4. The petition is posted on MoveOn. It suggests Pence’s willingness to speak at the NRA event demonstrates he is out of touch with the suffering of victims of “gun violence”: It’s sad that Pence is so dismissive of the American lives lost in Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, and Parkland—not to mention the thousands of people killed every month by gun violence. The majority of Americans want politicians to stop gun violence with common sense reforms. But rather than using his platform to advocate for peace and common sense safety, Mike Pence is rewarding extremists in the NRA. It concludes by saying: “Enough! We must hold all politicians to basic standards of decency. Tell Mike Pence to drop out of the NRA’s convention and stand with the majority of Americans who want ...

White House Correspondents’ Association president Margaret Talev criticized comedian Michelle Wolf’s monologue at the annual White House Correspondents’ dinner for being against their mission of unity. Sarah Sanders at White House Halloween Party Is the Epitome of a Working Mom Talev released a statement on Twitter late Sunday night in which she thanked everyone for their kind words about her speech ahead of Wolf’s monologue While Talev’s speech highlighted the “roots” of her “belief in journalism’s essential role,” she acknowledged some association members were concerned about how Wolf’s comments reflect on the association’s mission. She stated: Last night’s program was meant to offer a unifying message about our common commitment to a vigorous and free press while honoring civility, great reporting and scholarship winners, not to divide people. Unfortunately, the entertainer’s monologue was not in the spirit of the mission. Talev explained that the association continuously work...

Actor Ron Perlman has again unleashed his hatred towards President Donald Trump, describing him as a “cardboard cutout piece of shitfuck.” In an  interview  with  The Daily Beast,  the former  Sons of Anarchy  star was asked whether he would ever consider playing the role of Trump in a film. “Fuck no,” Perlman responded. “Not interested in one-dimensional people who have no redeeming value and nothing that is psychologically compelling.” “I’ve played serial killers and real bad guys, and there is always some sort of a psychological gap there,” he continued. “Trump doesn’t possess any of them. He’s just a cardboard cutout piece of shitfuck. There’s nothing there to explore. He’s one-dimensional, and he’s not clever. He’d be very boring to play.” When asked about the Trump presidency, Perlman went on to make several false claims such as that there is now a “cap on the free press,” and that Trump is actively “supporting Nazis.” “He’s normalized things tha...

Freshman Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has reportedly been investing large amounts of money in online advertising and digital campaigning ahead of what many believe is a coming announcement that she is running for president. “People see a potential in terms of digital fundraising, so I’m not surprised to see some of our younger, more ambitious members moving on that front – especially members who, part of their base or appeal is to younger voters,” Jaime Harrison, associate chair of the Democratic National Committee and a former South Carolina state party chair, told Politico‘s David Siders. Harris reportedly spent over $600,000 on web advertising and digital campaign consulting in the first quarter of 2018 alone. In March, Harris shopped a book to a top New York publisher titled Speaking Truth: Hard Facts and Hope for America’s Future, which further fueled talk of a potential run for president in 2020. Harris currently has 1.6 million followers on her Twitter account and nearly 1 mill...

Ohio’s “America First” congressional candidate, State Rep. Christina Hagan (R), who is running in the state’s 16th district against the Republican establishment, says she will promote a plan once in Congress to “stop sending our dollars overseas.” Hagen would instead use the money saved to pay retired and armed American veterans and law enforcement officers to guard and protect U.S. schools. During an interview with Breitbart News’s Political Editor Matt Boyle and Deputy Political Editor Amanda House on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday, Hagan said her plan to protect American schoolchildren following the Parkland High School shooting did not involve “stripping law-abiding citizens of their rights” to bear arms. Instead, Hagan said she would push a plan that brings American taxpayer money back to the U.S. to fund armed retired service members and police officers at schools across the country. Hagan, who was endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), told Breitbart News: So w...

. @MAXINEWATERS : Even as Republicans see it now, some of them are whispering. They are embarrassed. They are worried. They’re scared this president is going to take them down eventually… #AMJoy pic.twitter.com/qHn7j0On1p — AM Joy w/Joy Reid (@amjoyshow) April 29, 2018 Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Republicans were “scared” President Donald Trump “will take them down.” Water said,”I believe that if the facts are unveiled, whether it is in the next six months before the November elections or after that, Republicans are going to hard pressed to stand with this president and to deny that he’s colluded with Russia and that he’s obstructed justice.” She added, “I think even as Republicans see it now, some of them are whispering. They are embarrassed, they are worried. They’re scared that this president is going to take them down eventually. And so I believe that there will be Republicans that will have to agree with the facts that are going to be present...

Approximately 2,000 people rallied for gun rights Saturday at the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol. Many of those in attendance were carrying handguns or rifles. American flags and Gadsden flags were carried by many attendees as well. The Star Tribune reports the rally was an organized push-back against ongoing gun control campaigns launched in the wake of the February 14 Parkland school shooting. Event organizers included Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance, and the National Rifle Association. NRA board member Willes Lee spoke at the event, echoing some of the left’s catch phrases but using them against gun control rather than for it. He said, “I call B.S. on the government … taking our civil rights. The Second Amendment affirms my God-given right of self-defense.” The crowd broke into applause when Lee praised President Trump, describing him as “the most pro-gun … president in history.” Lee stressed that he and others in NRA leadership “were hea...

A Seattle donor to a Hillary Clinton-founded nonprofit group found there was no way to cancel his monthly donation, according to a report. Corey Koscielniak, 29, told the Seattle Times he wanted to stop giving his $10.48 a month contribution to the Clinton-political action organization Onward Together—which the former 2016 Democratic presidential nominee formed after her loss to President Trump—because the organization did not disclose enough information on how the money is spent. “Onward Together (OT) accepts payment information but provides no ability to alter or cancel donations once the initial donation is received,” Koscielniak wrote in a complaint to the Washington state Attorney General’s Office. The group, like many other political action organizations, employed aggressive marketing tactics to fleece money from donors through email blasts. The Seattle PI reported on one instance where the group sent an email to a prospective Clinton backer 11 months after Clinton’s election...

A panel of journalists on CNN criticized comedian Michelle Wolf’s stand-up routine at the White House Correspondents’ dinner on the basis that the jokes counteracted the goal of the night. John King, host of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” wondered if the media was playing into President Donald Trump’s hand by hosting a dinner that attacked press secretary Sarah Sanders and possibly “crossed the line.” “I thought the jokes were one-sided, not necessarily funny, but she was invited by the White House Correspondents’ Association,” White House Correspondent Jeff Zeleny, who attended the dinner, said. He called going after Sanders’ appearance “inappropriate,” but added that it wasn’t the first time the night had some “awkward” moments. Zeleny explained: “The press has done a lot of incredible work this year … a lot of that was overtaken by a skit that wasn’t very funny and we sometimes celebrate ourselves too much, I think. The reality is that it’s an important job and last night I don’t thi...

First lady Brigitte Macron spoke with the French press after she and President Emmanuel Macron paid a state visit to the White House. She said her counterpart, Melania Trump, is not like the public persona often portrayed in the press. The Guardian reported: Speaking to Le Monde at the end of the French presidential couple’s three-day state visit to Washington, Macron said the 48-year-old former model from Slovenia was “actually really fun. We have the same sense of humor. We laugh a lot together.” But Melania “cannot do anything”, the French first lady said. “She can’t even open a window at the White House. She can’t go outside. She’s much more constrained than I am. I go out every day in Paris.” Brigitte, a former French and drama teacher who recently celebrated her 65th birthday and is 25 years older than Emmanuel, her former student, insisted that contrary to popular opinion, Melania, who is 24 years younger than her husband, was “kind, charming, intelligent and very open.” Ma...

. @jonkarl says he believes Michelle Wolf’s comedy routine at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “crossed the line,” adding: “This went from poking fun to being mean-spirited.” pic.twitter.com/T7r529EXGl — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) April 29, 2018 Sunday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” ABC News chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl said comedian Michelle Wolf’s comments about White House press secretary Sarah Sanders at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner went too far. Karl said, “I think that the comedian crossed the line, and this went from poking fun to being mean-spirited. It was very uncomfortable.” He added, “I think that Sarah Sanders handled herself very well considering what was coming her way, and I think that most people in that room were uncomfortable, were uncomfortable with the direction of the jokes, no question at all, and certainly the only thing it will do is result in probably more goodwill for Sarah Sanders because nobody should have to sit thr...

Are you watching this? And our laws are so weak, they’re so pathetic — given to us by Democrats — they’re so pathetic, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer — (Boos) And let me tell you, we’ve gotten Mexico to work with us on stopping a lot of what’s pouring in, but we have the worst laws anywhere in the world. We don’t have borders. We’re gonna build the wall, we’re getting it — we’ve already started, I don’t know if you’ve seen — (Cheers)...

Migrants associated with a “Central American Caravan” showed up at the United States border Sunday reportedly seeking asylum from gang violence, but many decided to “tie the knot” upon hearing news from their legal counsel that they may face separation when entering the U.S. Several migrant couples who showed up at the border between Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego, California, married each other Sunday morning in a small ceremony presided over by a Chicago pastor with “monarch butterfly wings.” Marriages at the US border happening now before they surrender at the port of entry and seek #asylum worried they may be split up today when they do #migrantcaravan pic.twitter.com/KoREWNIjfn — Annie Rose Ramos (@Annie_Rose23) April 29, 2018 There are four couples from the caravan getting married. pic.twitter.com/kK69BwtYip — Adolfo Flores (@aflores) April 29, 2018 The couples tied the knot before reportedly presenting themselves to United States authorities at the San Ysidro point...

“What happened last night was an atrocity,” former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci slams comedian Michelle Wolf’s jokes at the White House correspondents’ dinner https://t.co/mInE4D0gk1 — Reliable Sources (@ReliableSources) April 29, 2018 Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci called the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “an atrocity.” Pointing to comedian Michelle Wolf‘s routine, Scaramucci said, “What happened last night was an atrocity, and it was like literally watching Michael Wolff with a wig on. I thought Michelle Wolf was Michael Wolff, actually.” “I think what you guys are missing is you think it’s totally okay to take a cheese grater to somebody’s face, grate their face, drop the cheese grater and say, ‘Geez, part of your job is to have the right side of your face bleeding.” He added, “I’ll tell you why it’s an atrocity because it doesn’t help what you’re trying to achieve and what I th...
