RNC Report: Laura Bush's Unintentionally Revealing Momentnew

In case you didn’t notice, protecting the country is a job for white men. Feeding and serving people is – dare I say it – for the womenfolk and colored help.

RNC Report: March for Our Livesnew
When does chaos ensue at a protest? Usually when cops start making arrests. But during Monday evening's "March for Our Lives," confusion began when the cops did something even more peculiar: they tossed metal barricades in front of marchers who were hurtling forward like a freight train.

RNC Report: McCain to America — Fight Something!new
John McCain is absolutely sure that we're in the midst of fighting a great war. How big, he's a little vague on, because he's not quite ready to define who or what exactly were at war against.

RNC Report: A History of the GOPnew
If the crappy cover band stationed outside Madison Square Garden this morning didn’t get Republican delegates good and pumped, the stirring History of Modern Republicanism recounted on three video screens while they waited to enter the building probably did the trick.
