Controversial CNN reporter Jim Acosta has repeatedly shouted questions at President Donald Trump but on Friday, someone other than Trump and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told him to be quiet. As Trump ended one of his speeches, Acosta tried shouting a question about whether he would stop saying the media was the “enemy of the American people.” “Mr. President, will you stop calling the press the enemy of the people?” he asked. His question came just a day after the shooting at a Maryland newspaper and some speculated that Trump caused with his heated, media criticism. Trump, during his speech, specifically said journalists shouldn’t have to fear violence. “Journalists, like all Americans should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job,” he said. While Acosta and others seemed to think he was brave, one man seemed to speak for Acosta’s critics when he told the CNN reporter to shush: "Mr. President, will you stop calling the press the e...

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump dropped the hammer on Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) after she called on others to continue harassing administration officials in public places: Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018 Waters said that since that tweet, she’s seen an uptick in serious death threats and even had to cancel speaking engagements in Texas and Alabama. “This is just one in several very serious threats the United States Capitol Police are investigating in which individuals threatened to shoot, lynch, or cause me serious bodily harm,” she said. Waters specifically pointed to Trump’s “veiled threat” in his message “Be careful what you wish for Max!” “As the President has conti...

It’s music to the ears of any constitutional conservative: Supreme Court Justice Mike Lee. It’s also Democrats’ worst nightmare. If you thought they were freaking out this week over Justice Anthony Kennedy‘s retirement announcement, imagine how they’d react to the Utah senator joining the High Court. Well, we might soon find out. President Donald Trump has asked his advisers about nominating Lee to replace Kennedy, according to a Bloomberg News report Thursday that cited “three people familiar with the matter.” It’s hard to imagine a better choice for conservatives. Lee’s rock-solid voting record has earned him perfect 100 percent scores from Conservative Review and the Heritage Foundation. In addition, he has the highest lifetime score from the American Conservative Union at 99.43 percent. The senator also has a strong background in the law. He has served as a federal court clerk, assistant U.S. attorney and general counsel for Utah’s governor, in addition to his private practic...

Former President Barack Obama had a tough talk with members of his party on Thursday. The former president, often seen as a hero within the party, told a Democratic National Committee fundraiser to quit “moping” and start sacrificing to prevent the current president from hurting the country. “If what you are doing requires no sacrifice at all, then you can do more,” he said, according to CNN. “Enough moping, this is a mope-free zone,” he also said. Obama’s tough love came as many predicted Trump would have a catastrophic impact on the country. His speech came just a day after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, something many suggested would spell an end to the landmark abortion decision Roe v. Wade. “This is a moment of great urgency and you are right to be concerned,” Obama told the crowd. But he also indicated that people weren’t genuinely concerned if they weren’t doing more to impact the political landscape. “If you are one of these folks who is watching cable ...

Vice President Mike Pence this week met with the leaders of three Central American nations amid the Trump administration’s ongoing “zero-tolerance” campaign against illegal immigration. As Reuters reported, his trip included meetings with Jimmy Morales of Guatemala, Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras and Salvador Sanchez Ceren of El Salvador. According to NBC News, Pence delivered a stern message on behalf of the White House to the presidents gathered for an address during the recent visit. “Tell your people that coming to the United States illegally will only result in a hard journey and a harder life,” he said. Pence made it clear that he was issuing the warning on behalf of the White House. “President Donald Trump sent me here today because the United States faces another crisis on our southern border,” he said. With an uptick in Central American border crossings over recent years, Pence placed a specific onus on the leaders he met with during this week’s trip abroad. “And I ...

With President Donald Trump able to nominate a Supreme Court justice replace Justice Anthony Kennedy after he announced his plans for retirement, “The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg was upset about his possible replacements. “I don’t like hearing, again, that ‘I’m trying to take your rights away,’” Goldberg said. “I have to tell you, as a woman, I think you’re trying to take my rights away. OK?” Goldberg added that while conservatives are concerned about a people trying to take their guns, she is worried about a Supreme Court justice taking away her rights as a woman: I’m trying to hold onto my personal rights so that you can have the rights you want. See? Because if you take mine, I feel like you’re the one with the problem. If you take my right away from me, to judge what I do for my family and my body, I got a little problem with that. You got a problem. You don’t want people to take your guns? Get out of my behind! Get out of my vagina! Get out! Watch the video below: “Let’s have ev...
