  • Mississippi Governor Defends Cindy Hyde-Smith's Lynching Comments By Claiming African-American Abortion Is 'Black Genocide' 

    Mississippi is burning. It always has been. As U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith is preparing to face a runoff against Democrat Mike Espy on Nov. 27, Hyde-Smith just can’t seem to stop stepping in it. And by “it,” I mean racism. In a video that has now been shared across all social platforms, Hyde-Smith appears to…

  • Melania Trump Is Petty AF, Publicly Calls for Ouster of a Top National Security Aide Because They’re Beefing

    Instead of working on the three pillars (well-being, social media use, and opioid abuse) that make up her grammatically incorrect campaign, first lady Melania Trump is using her White House muscle to publicly call for the firing of deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel.

  • DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Has One Foot Out of the White House and the Other on a Banana Peel 

    President Trump is draining the swamp, and no that’s not a euphemism for the commandant in chief hitting the bathroom (well it kind of is). But if the rumors are true, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen (the woman on Trump’s staff with a random misspelling in her own name) is on her way…

  • Iowa Congressman Steve King Compared Immigrants to Dirt Because…Of Course, He Did

    The Diplomats reunion was unexpected. Jim Jones having the best verse on the Sauce Boyz was crazy. Juelz Santana spitting a whole verse with no front teeth was shocking. Iowa Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) being a racist, white nationalist isn’t unexpected. The revelation that he compared Mexican immigrants to dirt isn’t crazy. Denying that he…

  • GOP Mississippi Senator Jokes About ‘Public Hanging’ and If You’re Offended, Well Tough On You

    Apparently, all of us offended by Mississippi Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith’s “joke” about being in the “front row” of a “public hanging” are overreacting. Yep, that’s the spin that Hyde-Smith and her people are putting on the Senate hopeful reprehensible remarks. Don’t forget that Hyde-Smith is running for Senate in the lynching capital of America.…

  • Black Baby-Gate: Ivanka and Melania Trump are Beefing About Who Gets to Pose With Black Kids

    The women of the White House are beefing over who can outpose whom with little black girls.
