Source: Bill Clark / Getty Republican Congressman Steve King Makes Racist Remarks Despite America touting itself as “the land of the free and the home of the brave” the idea that there are racist politicians isn’t lost on anyone, at least not anyone with melanin in their skin. That said, its still no less disturbing to hear the people who govern this country spout off racist rhetoric without even the faints veil over it. For example, take these remarks by Republican KKKongressman (Iowa) Steve King to the NYTimes : “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” he was quoted as telling the Times in a story published on Thursday. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?” King went on to say: Reflecting on the record number of black people and women in the new Congress, he added: “You could look over there and think the Democratic Party is no country for white men.” We’ve covered KKKongressman King in the past and he’s no lover of Black and brown people let us be the first to tell you. We can’t wait for old people like Steve King to die and rid us of their toxic brand of government.

Camila Cabello rocked her New Year’s Eve performance while singing through insanely chilly temps — and she successfully warmed up Times Square with ‘Havana.’
There are lots of fun things about being a celebrity. Money, fame, adoring fans … what’s not to like? As it turns out, if you just think about it for a minute, there are actually quite a few things not to like — for instance, all those strangers who feel like it’s OK to criticize you for each and every thing you do. Sometimes it’s deserved, of course, but a lot of times, haters hate just for the fun of it. The Duggars know that. They know it very, very well. To be clear, the Duggars have done several things through the years that deserve heaps and heaps of hate. That horrible molestation scandal , and the way Jim Bob and Michelle handled it? Despicable. Josh’s Ashley Madison mistakes and his admission that he was addicted to both sex and porn? Yes, sure, throw all kinds of shade at that. But a few days ago, Jill posted this photo of her younger son, Samuel, on Instagram: And surely there are things more deserving of your outrage than this. “That moment when you hear the rumble and you’re like, ‘oh no! Quick! Stand him upright before he….too late,” Jill captioned the picture. She added the hashtags “Samuel Scott Dillard,” “Sam the Man,” and “blowout,” just in case you needed a little more information. The photo is instantly relatable for anyone who’s ever spent any significant amount of time around babies. Things like this happen, and they happen often. But still, a lot of people feel like, for many reasons, Jill was wrong for sharing this. “What would possess you to post such a dumb picture, Jill?” one of her followers asked. “Slow day at the house of Derelict Dillweed?” All right, that’s a pretty solid nickname for Derick Dillard , we’re not going to lie. But things do get a lot worse. “Why the hell would you post a pic of poop coming thru onesie?” another person asked. “Just another reason showing how you ‘girls’ really don’t have a life outside of being submissive to your hubbys.” Someone told Jill that her post was “really not in good taste,” and someone else said “Seriously, it’s gross and nobody wants to see that.” For one of her followers, the picture was simply too much — this person wrote “SMDH – yes quick take a pic post it on social media. Screw the fact he should of been changed.” “Same as you did to poor Izzy bind him in a blanket let him cry as you take pics to post. Social Media comes before your kids damn Jill you are your parents!” Way harsh, right? But honestly, these people are kind of right. If you’re on social media yourself, there’s a good chance that you’ve seen photos like these — some parents just enjoy sharing things like this. You’d think that more people would understand that their friends don’t really care to see picture of actual poop while scrolling through their Instagram feeds … But obviously you’d think wrong. Still, this is all harmless, and we’re sure precious little Samuel didn’t suffer too much while his mom put off changing him for a second to take this picture. Though to be clear, it’s definitely gross. View Slideshow: Duggar Parenting Fails: 13 Of the Family’s Most Shocking Moments
We really should have known, people. We should have known a year ago at this time that 2017 would be a debacle, considering the way it kicked off: With a Mariah Carey performance from Times Square that was, to put it simply and bluntly, the worst thing we had ever seen or heard. We're very sorry to remind you of what transpired, but refresh your memory of the debacle below: The sound was off. Mariah clearly didn't know the words. It was a mess. Carey proceeded to blame anyone but herself for what happened, but after seemingly hiding from her transgression and not taking responsibility for her total failure… the legendary singer went out and faced the music last night. Literally. She took to the Times Square stage once again on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. This time around, Twitter did not react with laughter and vitriol. The artist performed two songs and remembered the lyrics to both. The iconic diva wowed with an impressive medley of “Vision of Love” and “Hero” and even made a quip at her own expense, telling the audience that the night was a “disaster” because she didn't have her hot tea. “I'm just going to take a sip of tea, if they'll let me,” Carey said, turning away from the crowd and adding: “They told me there would be tea. Oh, it's a disaster. OK, well, we'll just have to rough it. I'm going to be just like everybody else. “There'll be no hot tea.” Indeed, it was FREEZING in New York City. Was Mariah's performance red hot? Not really. She definitely lost a bit from her prime. But the bar was set so low to conclude 2016 that as long as Carey didn't trip 12 times on stage, she was likely to clear it. When the cameras stopped, sources tell Billboard that Carey was all smiles and gushed “I love you” back to her adoring fans. Check out the quasi triumphant return below:
