Jimmy Kimmel goes right to the source of the problem in the Florida school shooting. Simply it’s President Trump, who has failed once again to do anything more than offer condolences after 14 students were murdered and more than 50 wounded by a loner with an assault rifle. While Fox News talking-heads, right-wing propaganda sites and Russian twitter trolls want to turn schools into quasi-prisons, the real bear in the room as always is guns....
Right-Wing darling Scott Baio and Casino mogul Steve Wynn have tarred Republicans with the Hollywood sex scandal. Fox News had made hay out of the scandal as a symbol of Democratic hypocrisy because of Harvey Weinstein. Weinstein was a big-bucks supporter of Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, until he was exposed as a serial sexual abuser and harasser. Wynn was an even bigger donor to Republicans and also served as finance chairman for the Republican National Committee. He was forced to resign in disgrace in the wake of dozens of complaints about sexual abuse and harassment....
Jimmy Kimmel is taking the latest fight over healthcare legislation personally. He put GOP bill sponsor Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana on blast for lying about the nature of the bill and poked fun at the way he’s being attacked by Fox News and other critics in response.

Jimmy Fallon did a hilarious take on Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention last night on the “Tonight Show.” He emerged from the mist on stage just like the Donald, with a little Michael Jackson thrown in. Fallon has been doing spot-on Trump impersonations throughout the campaign. In fact, he’s become the Tina Fey of Trump impersonators. He captures The Donald’s essence as well as Fey’s Sarah Palin.

Stephen Colbert traveled deep “off grid” to dig up Jon Stewart last night on the “Late Show.” Colbert was looking for someone to explain how Trump became the Republican presidential nominee. “That guy?” Stewart exclaimed. Colbert was clearly facing a dilemma on the show. “How can we guess what will happen, when we can begin to explain how we got here,” he said....
Ted Cruz, the closest thing to a sociopath in high office since President Richard Nixon, did his best to show he’s really a likeable guy on the “Tonight Show” last night. But his smarmy personality got the best of him when Jimmy Fallon revealed he’s been running for president since high school. What kind of a guy lays out a detailed plan to attend Princeton University, earn a law degree from Harvard, enter politics, then run for President of the United States? ...
Donald Trump proved to be too ungodly for Iowa’s Republican caucus voters. Evangelicals lined up for Ted Cruz and handed him the victory in the Midwestern state....
Bill Cosby may be booted out of a rare club. An Arizona Congressman is attempting to strip him of his Medal of Freedom, awarded by President George W. Bush in 2002 for his exemplary contribution to television. Oddly, both bill co-sponsor Paul Gosar and Bush are Republicans....
Donald Trump, who’s managed to alienate key voting blocs, not to mention his GOP rivals, promised last night on Jimmy Kimmel to show a kinder, gentler side now that he is ahead in most early polls. He even softened his position on Muslims and immigration. “I’ve been a little bit divisive,” Trump acknowledged, after Kimmel noted that he’d eased up on his opponents during the CNN debate. ...
Jeb Bush and other Republican presidential candidates are following the lead of big money GOP political action committees (PAC). They’ve unleashed a torrent of campaign ads capitalizing on the Paris terror attacks. Will war mongering and anti-ISIS sentiment work? The ads all play off the theme of “leadership” and attack President Obama’s handling of the rise of ISIS in the Middle East. While the ads feature GOP candidates, they are being bankrolled by big-money super PACs....
Donald Trump is still on the hook for potentially millions of dollars in damages arising out of a scandal and lawsuit over another of his failed ventures, Trump University. In the latest development, a judge refused to dismiss him as a defendant in a California class action. Trump was seeking a summary judgment dismissing the claims. But yesterday (Nov. 19), U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, sitting in San Diego, denied most of Trump’s motions. ...
Donald Trump slapped Republican presidential rival Ben Carson in one of his most venomous campaign attacks yet, comparing him to a pathological child molester. Carson’s response? “Pray for him.” Trump went on the offensive during a speech in Iowa yesterday (Nov 12) in an apparent effort to put distance between himself and his leading rival. ...
Donald Trump has already lost the Hispanic vote and the African-American vote. Now he’s likely kissed off the Catholic vote for butting heads with Pope Francis today (Sept 24) over his call for compassion and action on immigration and global warming. Pope Francis made an historic address to Congress, the first ever by a sitting Pontiff. Trump was asked his reaction by CNN....
Donald Trump went head-to-head against Stephen Colbert’s former “Comedy Central” character to see who said the wackiest things. Of course, Donald is now a real wacky conservative and Colbert just played one. But their quotes were hard to tell apart. Trump made an appearance on the Late Show last night (Sept. 22) faced off in the contest of who said what? “For years I played an over-the-top, like, you know, conservative character,” said Colbert. “Not as long as you did, but for many years....
Donald Trump vows to win the Latino vote if he wins the Republican nomination for president, but not if a Latino comedy troupe has its way. It released a video today (Aug. 27) lampooning the presidential hopeful for his outrageous comments about Mexico and immigration. Trump caused an uproar when he pronounced during his kickoff speech that illegal immigrants are “bringing drugs … they’re bringing crime … they’re rapists.”...
Jon Stewart, like every other political junkie, was anxious to see the Republican (i.e. Fox News) response to Hillary Clinton’s official announcement that she is running for president in 2016. For the most part, he found it… underwhelming. After all, the GOP, metaphorically speaking, has been soaking a 2×4 in motor oil since 2008, just waiting to whack what they consider an easy target. ...
President Obama made clear the White House was not involved in Jay-Z's Cuba trip. President Obama said "Not so," today, in response to rapper Jay-Z's clam in "...
President Obama delivered what may be his most effective political ad yet today (July 14), attacking presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney over outsourcing jobs and holding sketchy off-shore bank accounts.
