Offering no explanation, the White House excluded CNN, Buzzfeed, the LA Times, the New York Times, and several foreign outlets from its informal press gaggle Friday. Fox and other network outlets were permitted attendance, as were larger right-learning outlets like the Washington Times and One America News Network. Naturally, excluded outlets are less than thrilled. Jake Tapper is one of the better offerings from the cable news world, but he's wrong that the White House stonewalling overtly hostile press is "Un-American."

Wednesday, President Trump withdrew President Obama's transgender bathroom mandates. Though the Obama administration claimed the mandates were simply guidance, failure to comply could've resulted in the loss of federal funding. Needless to say, the LGBTQ community was up in arms, leading long-time Democratic advisor Zac Petkansas to call the Trump White House "monsters."

I will never fully understand the irrational fear of inanimate objects that leads people to do things like this. A handful of instructors, mostly grad students, from the University of Texas are holding office hours in a bar after the state implemented campus carry laws. They're hoping gun-free zones will keep them safe. Under the Lone Star State's campus carry laws, only licensed concealed carry permit holders are legally allowed to pack heat on participating college campuses, and even then, only on certain parts of campus.

Wisconsinites who enjoy Kellygold Irish butter have been forced to venture across state lines to buy the gold foil packaged dairy goodness. Butter protectionism in the Dairy State has made this foreign butter illegal. An obscure regulation turns "ungraded butter" into contraband. Since Kerrygold isn't produced in the good ole U.S. of A., it's not graded and hence, illegal. Selling illicit butter bears a fine up to $1,000 and a possible six-month stint in the slammer.

Trump was chided for his remarks on the immigrant problems in Sweden. Just days after his comments, violent riots erupted in Stockholm's immigrant-filled suburbs, forcing law enforcement officers to open fire.

In less than a week, professional provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos went from rising star to exiled disgrace. Yiannopoulos' story is truly tragic, but one with an inevitable conclusion. Milo was invited to keynote this week's Conservative Political Action Committee Conference (CPAC), only to be disinvited after comments he made about pederasty surfaced. Reportedly, CPAC board members were kept in the dark about Milo's invite. Shortly thereafter, Milo lost a cushy book deal with Simon and Shuster. Tuesday, Yiannopoulos announced his resignation from Breitbart Tech. "It would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues’ important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effectively immediately. This decision is mine alone,” wrote Yiannopoulos in a written statement. "Breitbart News has stood by me when others caved."

Organizers across the country put together "not my President" protests which took place Monday -- President's Day. A schmorgesborg of complaints, few actually related to anything President Trump has done, these protests were meant to highlight the so-called "resistance" movement.

Former Major League baseball player Jose Canseco won't be welcoming our new robotic overlords anytime soon. Monday, Canseco published a flurry of tweets warning about the mechanization of jobs once held by humans. Don't worry, robots "won't attack and kill us like in the movies," they'll just steal all of our jerbs.

Fresh off a seventy-minute press conference where he leveraged national media coverage to berate and skewer the national press corps, President Trump kicked off the weekend with another shot at political media, only this time, he used Twitter. Trump tweeted that many "fake news" outlets were not his personal enemy, but instead an "enemy of the American people." Shortly after the initial tweet, Trump deleted it, leaving many to believe he'd reconsidered his inflammatory social media post. The original tweet:

Every year, President Obama filled out a NCAA bracket on ESPN. President Trump will not continue his predecessor's tradition.

Remember Organizing for Action (OFA)? The grassroots army that made Senator Obama President Obama? OFA recently relaunched to protect Progressive values from the new Republican governance. Though it worked wonders for President Obama's political aspirations, top Democratic operatives claim it almost killed the Democratic party. “This is some GRADE A Bullshit right here," said Stephen Handwerk, Executive Director of the Louisiana Democratic Party.

If the political gossip mill is correct, Kid Rock's name has been dropped for a Michigan Senate run against Democratic incumbent Sen. Stabenow. Stabenow is up for reelection in 2018. Robert Ritchie or Kid Rock has long considered himself a libertarian-leaning Republican, supporting Mitt Romney, Ben Carson, and finally Donald Trump's presidential bids.

President Trump used his press conference to skewer the national press corps Thursday. He lectured the media on their ratings -- suggesting they'd fare better with consumers if they pared back the "hatred" and just presented the news. Trump coached them on the types of questions they should ask, joked about classified information saying they all have copies, and lambasted their love of "fake news." He not so politely reminded members of the media that their national approval rating is collectively lower than Congress's.

As Mary blogged, six Superbowl winning Patriots players won't be joining the rest of the team during their White House visit. Some have indicated their abstention is due to policy differences with President Trump. Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady says his choice to visit the White House over the years has not been a political one and refused to publicly litigate the decisions of his teammates. "Everybody has their own choice.There’s certain years, like a couple years ago, I wanted to go and didn’t get the opportunity based on the schedule — we didn’t get told until I think like 10 days before we were going, and at that point I had something I’d been planning for months and couldn’t get there," said Brady:
