No one knows hypocrisy more than the left. The latest example appeared in a photoshoot with "comedian" Kathy Griffin by photographer Tyler Shields, which has her holding the bloody severed head of President Donald Trump. According to TMZ, Griffin told Shields that the two of them may have "to move to Mexico once the pics got released, for fear they'd be thrown in prison."

Now former Denver Post sportswriter Terry Frei faced massive criticism after he tweeted he felt "very uncomfortable with a Japanese driver winning the Indianapolis 500 during Memorial Day weekend."  Takumo Sato became the first Japanese winner of the famous car race. The social media pile on led him to apologize and delete his tweet. Later Monday, The Denver Post released a statement that condemned Frei's views and announced he no longer worked at the publication.

Has the world ended? The UN has actually lashed out at the Palestinian Authority after the Palestinian NGO "Women's Technical Affairs Committee" (WTAC) named a women's center after terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, a member of the Fatah faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Norway stepped in as well, demanding the PA refund money the country donated for the center and remove the country's name. Mughrabi led and participated in the 1978 Coastal Road Massacre. She and other terrorists "hijacked a bus on Israel's Coastal Road and killed 38 civilians, 13 of them children, and wounded over 70." The Palestinian Authority has a deep affection for the terrorist since it has named three schools and a computer center after her. It has even thrown birthday celebrations for her.

I think it's safe to assume that a tax reform plan will take a lot longer than Trump's administration thinks, especially when his officials cannot agree on how the plan will work. That's exactly what happened when White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin testified in front of two different Senate committees. Mulvaney told the Senate Budget Committee that the "tax plan doesn't bank on any revenue stemming from faster economic growth." At the same time, Mnuchin told the Senate Finance Committee that the "tax plan will partly pay for itself with economic growth."

The NYPD Computer Crimes division began an investigation in March and Schwartz surrendered his computer. The detectives "found more than 3,000 images and 89 videos depicting girls as young as 6 months old performing sex acts on adult men."

So this fiasco started last summer when OKC Thunder star Enes Kanter voiced his support for Fetullah Gulen, the preacher that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blames for everything. Kanter's family, who resides in Turkey, publicly disowned him. Then last weekend Romania didn't allow Kanter to enter the country because Turkey canceled his passport. Luckily, the country didn't deport Kanter and he made it safely back to the states. But Turkey will not stop. Now officials have issued an arrest warrant for Kanter for allegedly belonging to the "terrorist group" Gulenist Terror Group (FETO).

Remember last week when Turkish bodyguards beat the crap out of protesters in front of the Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C.? Since then Turkey has feigned anger and insisted they did not do anything wrong and the men simply tried to protect themselves. Well, the New York Times dissected the videos released of the fiasco to identify the men and prove they started the fight.

While in Saudi Arabia, President Donald Trump signed a $110 billion arms deal with the kingdom. The White House has claimed the deal "includes defense equipment and other support to help the Arab nation and the rest of the Gulf region fight again terrorism and the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran." But Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has a problem with the munitions part of the deal due to Saudi Arabia's continued coalition in Yemen against the ousted government.
