One of the most shameful reactions to Trump's post-Charlottesville equivocating is that of his board of "evangelical advisers." Of all the members, only one—Rev. A.R. Bernard from NY—stepped down in protest. 

While we were off, Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III spoke at a training conference for DARE, which stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. That’s where cops come into schools and tell kids not to use drugs. You may remember it from high school in the 80s and 90s. I know I do.

Now that our President has joined us with Syria and Nicaragua as the only nations in the world who aren’t part of the Paris Agreement — thanks, dude — what are Americans supposed to do about global warming? Well, there’s a new book called “Drawdown” and in the language of the internet, “Drawdown is the global warming book America needs right now.” It asked a coalition of climatologists, economists, entrepreneurs, scholars, and activists to come up with a list of the 100 most effective solutions for global warming. And since it’s a book, you don’t even have to click through all 100 in a slideshow. Or subject yourself to the language of the internet.

In 1943 Ayn Rand wrote, “Civilization is the progress towards a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public… Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.”

President Obama knew the Russians were messing with our election, and he sat on his hands. Why?

Another interesting thing in the CBO’s latest healthcare report: defunding Planned Parenthood would result in thousands more unwanted pregnancies, and therefore, common sense dictates, way more abortions.

Now that Roger Ailes is gone, it’s a good to time to zoom out and assess his legacy. I’d describe it as such: he put angry, white blowhards together with leggy blonds in order to usher in the demise of not only television news, but the concept of the demonstrable fact.

Trump’s ridiculous budget promises to eliminate the deficit in ten years, predicts 3 percent growth every year, and counts a $2 trillion tax cut twice, once paying for itself and a second time creating another $2 trillion in growth. If you’re just pulling stuff out of your ass, you might as well go big.

We’re so transfixed on the possibility of the Trump campaign (or perhaps even Trump himself) colluding with the Russians to meddle in the outcome of our election that we’re all but ignoring the proven, original crime of the Russians meddling in our election!

Republicans didn’t do themselves any favors in their quest to repeal Obamacare by coming up with a replacement plan that is so horrible it probably can’t get through Congress. But, that’s not the only way Republicans can get rid of Obamacare.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue is suspending a plan to gradually feed children less salt in school breakfasts and lunches. Take that, Michelle.

America has been invaded by a culture that doesn’t share our values. But it’s not Muslims or Mexicans; it’s the Fox News voter.

One of the first of Trump’s Great Deals has come through! For the first time in more than a decade, China is going to buy our beef!  Our beef industry is thrilled.

Last Friday we did a new rule about “Tuckface.” That’s the face Tucker Carlson makes at the loony left-wing archetypes he invites on his show each night. “This Bennington dance professor thinks gay students should have their own bathrooms!” (Cue Tuckface.)

Politico has a chilling and hilarious story about how Reince Priebus (Latin for “kiss ass”) is trying to get Trump’s courtiers to stop slipping the boss news clippings. (Maybe he should talk to Steve Harvey.)

For Eric Trump, every day must feel like the time Fredo accidentally let it slip that he was working for Hyman Roth in The Godfather Part II. (“Johnny Ola knows all these places!”) He can’t keep his mouth shut. 

Lots of people, myself included, have taken some small measure of solace knowing that President Trump has the widely respected General H.R. McMaster serving as his National Security Adviser. If the president is the emptiest vessel ever to occupy that office, and he is, better to have someone who knows what he’s doing whispering in his ear, rather than the corruption-minded family members and conspiracy theorists that make up Trump’s inner circle. 

Like so many Obama “scandals” pushed by the Republican Party over the last eight years, the final one (one can hope) seems to be ending just like all the others — with a whole lot of nothing.

Climate change deniers hear manmade global warming will likely increase temperatures by a few degrees by the end of the century and think, “So what? I’ll just eat my ice cream a little faster.” 

Dick Cheney did two important things when he was vice president. He inspired AMC’s “Fear the Walking Dead” and he came up with the “One Percent Doctrine” for national security.
