Sure, ugly people can get on the Fox News Channel—if they’re guys (If you want proof of this, turn it on right now). But it really, really helps to appear really, really good looking if you want a spot on Fox News Channel and you don’t have a penis.

Emma Morano, the last surviving person hailing from the 1800s, died this weekend. She took our human link to simpler times with her.

Russell Westbrook notched more triple-doubles this season than all but seven NBA players did in their entire careers.

Did Donald Trump jump the shark when he dropped those bombs?

Foreign-born players constitute nearly one in three Major League Baseball (MLB) roster spots. Does this make America’s Pastime less American?

Saturday Night Live’s Michael Che calling Boston “the most racist city I’ve ever been to” continues to elicit peculiar amens in Beantown as denizens rush to prove their enlightened status by attesting to the benightedness of their city.

Winter storm Stella put a wild ending on a mild winter in the northeast on Tuesday.

If Barack Obama spied on a political enemy under the guise of spying on a foreign enemy, he finds himself in bad company. Contrary to the “shocked, shocked” reactions, presidents other than Richard Nixon abused power to abuse political enemies.

La La Land won best picture, until it didn’t. An Oscars show broadened to include political denunciations and speeches on current affairs flubbed its most basic mission, to give out the awards to the winners the academy designated.

Deontay Wilder traveled from minimum wage in the kitchen at Red Lobster to a seven-figure payday in primetime on Fox. Knocking out 36 men along the away tends to affect a man’s bank account in such ways.

“I’ve learned every life lesson that one could learn just by living in the city of Detroit,” junior middleweight contender Tony Harrison tells Breitbart Sports. “If I could do it all over I would do it the exact same way. It made me a soldier.”

The Grammys featured a performer namedrop “President Agent Orange” and a presenter urging the audience to google a transgender teen. The made-for-television event lost one percent of its ratings over last year and four percent over 2015.

Don’t look at Tom Brady next to Joe Montana or Otto Graham. Compare him to Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers.

A greater percentage of Americans voted for Donald Trump than want the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl. Yet jock journalists invoke the team’s quarterback’s association with the president as a reason to root against them.

Remember earlier this month when Lili Tomlin compared America to Nazi Germany, Senator Chuck Schumer cried, and mobs chanted “No hate, no fear/Everyone is welcome here” at airports because the president blocked Cuban refugees from entering the country?

A story that a supporter of Donald Trump invoked the president’s name in an attack on a Muslim airline employee grew more complicated as the alleged assailant’s political giving shows a long history of donations to liberal Democrats.

An unnamed Obama administration official compared “f—ing weird” David Brock in the Daily Beast to Mugatu. Quite unfairly, writer Asawin Suebsaeng did not give Will Ferrell the chance to respond to the calumnious comparison.

Tom Brady makes more money than you, married a supermodel, and plays for his fifth Super Bowl ring a week from Sunday. Jealous?

A $100 million lawsuit filed against the FBI by Judith Clark for harassment helped the domestic terrorist elude the bureau’s grasp as she participated in a crime wave that resulted in numerous deaths, former FBI agents attached to the New York office contend.

Donald J. Trump gave the thumbs-up sign upon making his way to the Western balcony of the Capitol on Friday. Some took it as a middle finger.

Jeff Bagwell, Ivan Rodriguez, and Tim Raines won election to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday. Curt Schilling didn’t. What’s wrong with this podium picture?

“Were you on drugs?” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo asked convicted murderer Judith Clark before commuting part of her 75-years-to-life sentence. “No,” she explained. “I was on politics.”

“My husband was shot nine times in the back,” Diane O’Grady points out, noting that he reloaded as the criminals unloaded on him. “They could have gotten away. They didn’t have to shoot Ed.”

The FBI’s principal case agent in the 1981 Brink’s robbery that left two policemen and a guard deceased tells Breitbart News that before law enforcement nabbed Judith Clark for her involvement in that deadly heist she had allegedly played a role in an earlier fatal robbery and helped spring a convicted cop-killer from jail.

Badou Jack grew up in a country that banned professional boxing. The Swede now holds the WBC super-middleweight belt.

Nat Hentoff passed away Saturday night at 91 characteristically listening to Billie Holiday. That he didn’t die wearing a sandwich board or writing a letter to his congressman, but instead expired listening to jazz, tells you not only about Hentoff’s loves but about why so many loved him.

United Van Lines names South Dakota as the state seeing the highest percentage of incoming moves for 2016.

Ronda Rousey never cared for journalists. Now they don’t much care for her.

Andy Warhol envisioned everyone getting their 15 Minutes of Fame in the future. George Orwell imagined everyone taking part in the Two Minutes Hate.

Fox News covered politics as a competition in 2016. Viewers rewarded the network with the highest ratings on cable television. ESPN depicted competition as politics in 2016. Viewers punished them by ditching their subscriptions.

If the gulag, forced starvation, and show trials soured you on the Soviet Union, then the atheist superstate vanishing Christmas from its calendars—like airbrushing a fallen commissar from Stalin’s side—likely added to your distaste. Nobody likes a Grinch, especially a jack-booted one stepping out of the pages of Dr. Zhivago and onto some Russian kid’s Christmas present.

A hall of fame is about as rock ’n’ roll as Wilford Brimley.
