Obama’s national security speech makes right-wingers’ heads explode — and it’s awesome
America’s angry, right-wing cranks were quick to respond to President Barack Obama’s Sunday night speech about national security in the wake of last week’s terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California.
The president’s calm, measured appeal to Americans’ higher values was roundly rejected by conservatives, who took to social media to voice their disgust.

Republican presidential candidate and former reality TV star Donald Trump announced that he would live-tweeting the president’s speech, but was barely able to fire off a handful of responses before the speech was over.
"@JFK4701: @realDonaldTrump he is reading off the TelePrompTer." But that is O.K. in this case.

Wish Obama would say ISIS, like almost everyone else, rather than ISIL.

Is that all there is? We need a new President – FAST!

Others were just angry that the president “defends Moslems.”
He still defends Moslems! Remember it's OK for Moslems to lie to further their agenda. #ObamaSpeech pic.twitter.com/UpWiRa0ycP

American Airlines ordered passengers to stop social distancing — because they hadn’t paid for exit seats
On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that the flight crew on an American Airlines trip ordered two passengers to stop social distancing and move back to their seats.
The reason? The empty row they moved into cost slightly more.
"On a June 30 flight on American Airlines from Dallas to Newark, Joy Gonzalez, an aviation engineer based in Seattle, found herself seated at a window with two older passengers beside her in the middle and aisle seats," reported Elaine Glusac. "In order to gain more social distance, she and the aisle passenger both moved to seats behind them where two rows were empty. But before takeoff, a flight attendant ordered them back to their assigned seats, telling them they had not paid for those exit row seats, which are more expensive."
Mary Trump's upcoming tell-all book alleges that President Donald Trump's sister did his homework and friend and fellow University of Pennsylvania graduate, Joe Shapiro, took his SATs for him.
ABC News reported Wednesday that Pam Shriver, Shapiro's widow, said that he would never have done something like that.
"He always did the right thing, and that's why this hurts," said Shriver.

Kayleigh McEnany says she has no ‘data’ on whether Tulsa rally increased COVID — but city official says it likely did
At Wednesday's White House briefing, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was confronted with the fact that President Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma led to an outbreak of COVID-19 cases. Her reply was to plead ignorance: "I have no data to indicate that."
However, according to a health official in Tulsa, the pattern of cases indicates it is "likely" that it did just that.
"President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa in late June that drew thousands of participants and large protests 'likely contributed' to a dramatic surge in new coronavirus cases, Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Dr. Bruce Dart said Wednesday," reported Sean Murphy for the Associated Press. "Tulsa County reported 261 confirmed new cases on Monday, a one-day record high, and another 206 cases on Tuesday. By comparison, during the week before the June 20 Trump rally, there were 76 cases on Monday and 96 on Tuesday."
