With Steve Bannon now just a bad memory at the White House, it appears that Chief of Staff John Kelly is determined to get rid of every staffer who has ties to the alt-right, which means that deputy assistant to the president Sebastian Gorka is likely to be next to get the boot. CNN’s Jim […]
Ever since Donald Trump became president, members of his administration have been all over cable news telling us about the tremendous danger posed by Islamic terrorism, both at home and around the world. Granted, it is indeed a problem, but is it the only form of terrorism we have to be on the lookout for […]
On Wednesday, President Trump announced his support for a bill written by two GOP Senators which would drastically curb legal immigration into the United States, again trying to toss more red meat to his anti-immigrant base as his poll numbers continue to plummet. Standing with Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and David Perdue (R-GA), Trump heralded […]
Whenever there’s a terror attack, President Trump is usually quick to take to Twitter and comment on the matter, even though in doing so he only manages to prove his own ignorance and bigotry.

But they have repeatedly delayed that new order, and now it appears the reason may be related to a document prepared by […]
According to Donald Trump, the reason President Obama was unable to “win” the war against ISIS is because he didn’t want to use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism.” It’s a common trope among right wingers and the Fox News morons who pretend to have the answer to every problem but really only have talking points […]

Emboldened by the election of Donald Trump and fearful that Sharia law will soon be imposed in their community, a group of Tea Party conservatives gathered at a seafood restaurant in Kernersville, North Carolina, last week and said they are preparing to counteract what they call a Muslim plot to conquer the United States.
