Tim Tebow, Bobby Knight, Tom Brady -- they all backed away slowly when Donald Trump asked them to speak at the Republican convention this week. So Trump reached out personally to invite someone with real star power: the one and only Scott Baio! You may remember Baio as "Chachi" on the ...

This could be a very big deal; reports are coming out of Turkey that there's been an attempted military coup. Yildirim says "it would be wrong to call it a coup" but that there has been an attempt by "part of the military". He describes it as an "illegal attempt" to ...

Following his announcement (on Twitter!) that he did indeed pick Mike Pence as his running mate, Donald Trump unveiled his new logo. It features a capital T dominating and penetrating a P, and looks like it was designed by a not-very-talented 6-year old. It's yet another hilariously weird misstep by the ...

CNN has increasingly turned into the network that helps the Trump campaign more than any other, frequently putting Trump's surrogates and apologist on air and letting them get away with the most outrageous lies and excuses for Trump's behavior.

Joseph Sohm / Shutterstock.com Donald Trump Jr. (above left) has taken a large role in his father's campaign, appearing in the media frequently to defend Dad's latest outrageous comments and reportedly playing a large role in the firing of campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

Jonathan Bachman / Reuters Things are getting very dicey in Baton Rouge again tonight, and here's a tremendously moving photo that captures the essence of the situation: a lone protester in a summer dress standing up to police in riot gear with quiet, unshakable dignity. It’s one of those iconic images ...

Good old Facebook. Sometime in the last few days, they changed the way their embedded posts and video work, and the old method no longer works at all. Previously, we let you embed a Facebook post or video in a comment or LGF Page simply by copying and pasting the address ...

Here's a video clip of Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson being arrested tonight in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, apparently for no reason. He was simply walking by the side of the road when police moved in and took him into custody -- and they were not gentle about it. Deray was ...

What else is left to say on a day like this? Plenty. Cops were murdered just as surely as black men were murdered by cops. You can protest and demand justice in both without being cynical or hypocritical. Justice. Only justice shall thou pursue. Cops do dangerous work, and they ...

YouTube This was perhaps the most surreal moment from Donald Trump's rambling, disconnected speech yesterday in Cincinnati, as he slapped at the podium and yelled, "I DON'T LIKE MOSQUITOES! I NEVER DID!" Anyone else might have used the appearance of a mosquito to talk about the need for action to prevent the ...

I don't have a video clip for you yet, but at Donald Trump 's rally in Cincinnati he's now defending that "Star of David" tweet attacking Hillary Clinton, that was lifted (in his social media director's own words) from a racist, antisemitic Twitter user, appeared on an "alt-right" message board, ...

Joseph Sohm / Shutterstock.com After we reported yesterday that Donald Trump Jr., son of the Republican nominee for president, was following at least two overt antisemites on Twitter, we heard from a flock of Trump fans trying to claim it was because Trump Jr. wanted to "troll" them, or because he ...

a katz / Shutterstock.com If you follow politics on Twitter you'll eventually run into the "alt-right" cavemen -- a group of antisemites, neo-Nazis and white supremacists who make no attempt at all to hide what they're about. "Alt-right" is just the latest term they're using; in the past they've called themselves ...

Like many white supremacists, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke noticed Donald Trump's antisemitic tweet this weekend and reacted with great glee.

For the past two days Donald Trump has been letting his surrogates like Corey Lewandowski and Jeffrey Lord float the ludicrous excuse that the Star of David graphic in that antisemitic image he tweeted was a completely innocent "sheriff's star" that had nothing to do with antisemitism. This is despite the ...
