Did you pay it, Bob?

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Bob McDonald's Disney line wait comparison was horrible. Disney patrons paid a fee to be there. Our veterans paid a price.

But that’s ... different

A GQ photo shows (then) model Melania Trump posing in skimpy thong and boots, pointing a gun. Remember when Republicans complained about Michelle Obama's bare arms?

Contradiction in terms

How do people have a happy Memorial Day?

There’s a foul odor in the Texas Rangers baseball team.
