The United States has become a “problematic” place for journalists as they continue to face a stream of threats and attacks on their safety, according to a new report about press freedom released Thursday.

Watching Dany’s army of eunuchs advance in the snow, Jones astutely […]

Stephen Colbert has found a completely safe way to utter one of the worst profanities in just about any situation ― and it comes straight from special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.  The 448-page document released in redacted form on Thursday contains a single unredacted f-bomb, dropped on Page 290 by President Donald Trump when he […]

Lou Dobbs used his Fox Business show on Thursday to rant about the Mueller report, which contained a number of damning revelations about President Donald Trump.
