In an epic moment, a Fox News reporter quickly runs away after an attendee calls out Trump LIVE ON AIR: “There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front”

I’m 61 years old, have one knee held together by screws and baling wire, and a back that stiffens after a 30 minute car ride, and he makes me want to strap on pads and go out there.

The president of the United States has desecrated the White House by using a photo of an autopen to depict Joe Biden, and laughed about it with our enemy, and this is what sets off this guy? A Cheesecake Factory joke?

Obama’s oratory skill level is undoubtedly off the charts, but his projected character sure has gotten low brow. Remember 2004 Obama who aimed high & unified? He has shrunk over 22 years to a really slick sarcastic lounge lizard act. It’s sad. Put downs are his whole shtick now.

No one gets under Trump’s skin more than Obama because of how Obama can call out Trump’s absurdity — going back to the 2011 correspondents dinner when he roasted Trump and his birtherism.

OBAMA: The president wasn't even mad. About The Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about The Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House. They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke.

The ad against Amy Acton encapsulates everything that is wrong with the Republican Party. Even the ones who otherwise seem principled, like Mike DeWine, have failed this test. They are beyond redemption.

Republicans are running an ad that has Amy Acton's mother calling her a liar and urges people not to vote for her for governor. Here's the response from Acton's campaign. It's going to be interesting to see if the swarmy ad works or backfires.

My take on Donald Trump’s speech Saturday. Where was Scott Jennings? courier-journal.com/story/op…

Gerth: NKU speech shows Trump needs a translator | Opinion

From sex changes at schools to examining Jon Husted's butt, Trump's speech in Northern Kentucky went from one unhinged topic to another.

The issue with Zacharia isn't that she failed the bar, it's that she held herself out as a lawyer but never passed the bar. Clinton, Obama and Harris all passed the bar when they retook the test. El-Sayed graduated with an MD -- no licensing needed to call yourself a "doctor."

OK, for people who know more about football than me, does it really matter if Stein called timeout before the movement, or is #89 technically in the backfield and allowed by rule to reset? youtu.be/sdGRcGj7anc?si=6gNd…

Great to be with my friend, a Hoosier, a Christian, a Statesman and one of the best Vice Presidents this nation has ever known. Conservative and principled. He and President Trump made quite a team!

Do you remember when during WWII, FDR suggested that Japan take out Bozeman, Montana? Or when Harry Truman a few years later, said North Korea should destroy Dallas? Yeah. Me neither.
