President-elect Donald Trump’s signature airplane got an honorary water cannon salute before the plane took off from New York’s LaGuardia airport. These kinds of salutes are sometimes used as a way of marking some kind of important event, to christen a plane’s first or last flight, or even to honor a retiring pilot or air traffic controller. This flight marked the first time the plane was…

Donald Trump shocked the world by winning the presidential election, stunning the media and those in the political establishment with his victory. The day after, both Hillary Clinton and President Obama acknowledged the defeat and called for Americans to come together in support of the new President. Virginia Tech, however, seems to think it’s students will need some extra hugs to help with that…

What no one in the media thought could happen has happened: Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States. If you remember all the way back when Trump first announced his run, pundits weren’t shy of laughing him off as a joke, as someone who couldn’t possibly win his party’s nomination, let alone the actual presidency. But Trump constantly proved those in the media wrong, right…

**Warning: If you're a normal person, this may offend you. As if this election wasn’t already weird enough, the universe apparently wanted it to end strong. Two women reportedly showed up at the polling location where Donald Trump will vote later in the day, topless and chanting.

You might not realize it, but some polls in the presidential election have already closed. The three towns of Dixville Notch, Millsfield, and Hart’s Location in northern New Hampshire have already completed voting and have reported their official results. That’s due to a quirky state law that allows towns with fewer than 100 voters to close the polls after all eligible voters have cast their…

This election cycle has been brutal, no doubt about it. The American Psychological Association recently stated that Americans, regardless of party, are more stressed out due to the election (55 percent of Democrats, 59 percent of Republicans). One golf course in Texas, however, is hoping to help bring those numbers down. The Alpine Golf Course in Longview has recently set up large pictures of…

Chelsea Clinton’s husband, Marc Mezvinsky, may have used Clinton Foundation influence and connections to attract investors to his own personal hedge fund. That’s according to a new batch of emails released by WikiLeaks, where emails dating back to 2012 show former Clinton staffer Doug Band accusing Mezvinsky of wanting to set up a fundraiser for the Clinton Foundation as an excuse to meet with…

Actress Susan Sarandon was recently interviewed by Evan Davis on the BBC and was pressed about her continued refusal to vote for Hillary Clinton when she gave an interesting answer. “I don’t vote with my vagina,” Sarandon eventually told Davis. Davis had been pressing Sarandon if the prospect of electing the first female president in U.S history would be enough to sway her to vote for Clinton…

The internet strikes again. Glenn Thrush, the chief political correspondent for Politico, has recently come under a lot of fire after leaked emails from WikiLeaks show Thrush appearing to ask Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta to approve of a story he was writing. Now the internet is showing Thrush what it thinks of him. On Friday, someone had edited Thrush’s page on Wikipedia to read that…

César Vargas is a liberal writer and activist who has had his works published from Huffington Post to Fox News Latino. He was a Bernie Sanders supporter in the Democratic primaries. He also recently wrote an op-ed in Huffington Post where he renounced his support for Hillary Clinton. As you can imagine, liberals weren’t too happy about that. Vargas’ article, entitled “Why I Can No Longer…
