In fact, Muhammad is one of the most popular names throughout Northwest Europe. And now, for the first time ever, Muhammad

HE’S BAAAAAAAAAACK Sen. Ted Cruz spent much of his first term in Washington being the scourge of the American Left. To be fair, most of the Republican party found him to be quite the thorn as well. Cruz has had a bit of a break since President Trump became the media’s Public Enemy Number One.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump (Shannon Stapleton / Yuri Gripas / Reuters) When someone has irked you and you want to lash out at him, it is natural, apparently, to mock his looks.

Law professor Pamela Karlan did more than cross the line in taking a cheap shot at President Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, in her pro-impeachment testimony.

MISLEADING HEADLINE ALERT! Nothing. We learned nothing. OK, we learned that Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan is a pinched, bitter woman who probably has daddy issues she’s been carrying throughout her life.
