THIS World-Famous Soccer Player Survived Attempted Abortion

He’s Cristiano Ronaldo: the “world’s best soccer player” that almost wasn’t. An upcoming documentary, Ronaldo, follows the 30-year-old Madrid soccer star, Cristiano Ronaldo. While Ronaldo is well-known around the world, the story of his beginning isn’t.

Dan Zak the Hack Pats Hillary's Flack On the Back

The liberal bias of Washington Post Style section writer Dan Zak emerged again at the top of Style on Wednesday. Less that two weeks ago, the Post’s Amber Phillips offered a more balanced and informative take on Sidney Blumenthal, Hillary’s controversial private adviser. Zak could only cite him as a man of “ruthless intelligence” who’s a magnet for “Benghazi inquisitors” and “Hillary nuts.”

'Scandal' Character Channels Hillary in Defending Husband's Rapes

ABC’s Scandal has been echoing the Clinton Era lately – an affair in the White House, impeachment proceedings, a First Lady turned Senator with Oval Office ambitions – and the episode “Even the Devil Deserves a Second Chance” was no different, with one character sounding an awfully lot like Hillary Clinton.

AP Credited Ocare When Ariz. Co-op News Was Good, But Not As It Failed

Add Arizona's Meritus Health Partners to the growing list of Affordable Care Act co-op failures. The Daily Signal reports that this makes 11 of 23 such state Obamacare co-ops which will have closed their doors by the end of 2015 after three or fewer years in operation.

Leftists Tag Ben Carson 'Safe Negro' and 'Token'

The more Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson climbs in the polls, the more liberals attack him as regards his“black authenticity.” This week alone, Carson has been called a “safe Negro” and a “token” by both a Democratic strategist and liberal journalist.

CBS Evening News Blames Thursday’s Severe Weather on Global Warming

Thursday’s CBS Evening News led with the severe weather threatening those in the Midwest, but in addition to looking at the storm track and damage thus far, the storms were hyped as a consequence of global warming. Anchor Scott Pelley ruled in an opening tease that “[t]ornadoes in Texas” struck “on the same day that a new study blames climate change for a surge in severe storms and wildfires.”

History According to Thom Hartmann: US Fought Spain in World War II

Once a liberal gets to talking about fascism, which ranks high among his perennial obsessions, amusing observations and dubious claims are sure to follow. Usually the left winger in question will opine about the genuine, hard-core varieties of fascism found in Europe during the early 20th century, before he inevitably condemns the domestic versions endured by Americans during Republican…

Just when you thought an already terrifying and cryptically weird show couldn’t get any stranger, Lady Gaga’s addition to the American Horror Story: Hotel cast seems to have taken that flaming torch of insanity and gone full supernova.

WaPo: Gun Control Push Helped Va. GOP Win; Chris Matthews Mum

As I blogged Monday night, MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews gave Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe a platform to urge liberal viewers at home who live in the Old Dominion to vote pro-gun control by voting for Democrats the following day. Of course, that didn't pan out like either hoped. Republicans retained control of the both houses of the state legislature, while Democrats had hoped to…

CNN's Hill: Police Shootings Shaped By 'Artifacts of White Supremacy'

Marc Lamont Hill doubled down on his theory about supposed white supremacy shaping police encounters with black people.

We are shaped by fear of…
