The newly minted Miss USA ignited a firestorm of liberal outrage Sunday after she gave very non-progressive answers when asked about health care and feminism, specifically declaring health care a privilege and ripping modern feminism.

During the pageants question-and-answer period, 25-year-old Kra McCullough was asked whether she believes health care is a right or a privilege for Americans.

McCullough, who came to the pageant as Miss District of Columbia, stunned much of America, especially liberals, with her answer.

Im definitely going to say its a privilege, McCullough said, explaining that Americans shouldnt be forced by the government to pay for the health care of other Americans.

McCullough, who works as a government scientist for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, further explained:

As a government employee, Im granted health care. And I see firsthand that for one, to have health care, you need to have jobs, so therefore we need to continue to cultivate this environment that were given the opportunity to have health care as well as jobs so that (sic) all the American citizens worldwide.

Needless to say, the lefts Twitter reaction to McCulloughs answer was swift:

Others, however, defended McCullough, including one of her fellow competitors, Miss Massachusetts Alissa Musto:

Still, McCulloughs answer on health care wasnt her only remark that outraged liberals. When later asked for her views on feminism and whether she believes shes a feminist, McCullough said she doesnt like the word feminist.

As a woman scientist in the government, Id like to lately transpose the word feminism to equalism, she said.

Heres how people reacted to that answer:

Just to be clear.. FEMINISM ?IS?THE?EQUALITY?OF?MEN?AND?WOMEN? POLITICALLY?SOCIALLY?SEXUALLY?AND EDUCATIONALLY? #MissUSA

McCullough became the second Miss District of Columbia in a row to win the annual pageant. Deshauna Barber, an Army officer, won in 2016.

Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.

Most college professors, social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, film makers in Hollywood, group therapists and community organizers are liberals. Liberals meddled in our national pastime and invented the designated hitter rule because it wasnt fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives are members of the military, big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other Conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when Conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Conservatives want to make America Great Again while Liberals want to see America go down the rabbit hole and be more like Europe.

The WA Liberal Party is operating in a "Matrix-style" alternate reality two months on from its landslide state election loss, the McGowan Government has claimed.

On the first regular parliamentary sitting day since Labor toppled the Barnett government, the new administration accused the Liberals of acting like a "deposed monarchy" and not accepting the March election result.

The attack on the Mike Nahan-led Opposition came as the Liberals sought to blame the new Government for having to urgently seek parliamentary approval to borrow billions of dollars, to ensure expenses could be met beyond July.

Dr Nahan said the new Government had to seek the $11 billion loan to pay for its own promises, a comment which Treasurer Ben Wyatt described as being derived from a "simulated reality".

"You don't get to treat this as some sort of Matrix-style 'I'll swallow the blue pill and wake up in the bed with everything all OK' because unfortunately the $11 billion I'm having to borrow is your spending plan," Mr Wyatt told Parliament.

"You can swallow those blue pills as much as you want but I have got a couple of red ones for you."

Transport Minister Rita Saffioti then picked up the attack, saying the Liberals still had not accepted the March election result and that was why they had refused to move into their opposition offices.

"The Opposition are walking around [like] a deposed monarchy and don't realise they are in opposition," she said.

The new Government has at times goaded the Liberals for sticking with controversial key policies they took to the March election such as the Perth Freight Link and the sale of Western Power claiming it was evidence they had not accepted the result.

The Liberals also came under fire last Thursday after using their first parliamentary question since the election to ask the Premier about a pledge he made five years ago not to take up office in the renovated Department of Premier and Cabinet home at Hale House.

But ahead of today's sitting, senior Liberal MP Dean Nalder defended Dr Nahan's performance and said he had faith in his parliamentary strategy.

"The first day was ceremonial and it was always seen to be a ceremonial day," he said.

"It was felt that some serious questions would get lost and we would wait until the start of parliament proper, which is this week."

The Liberals changed tack in their second Question Time, probing Labor about its investigation into the Barnett government's spending, and asking whether it would also focus on decisions Labor had made in office.

The Liberals have described the $1.5 million commission of inquiry, headed by former Treasury boss John Langolaunt, as a "witch hunt".

Is It Time to Move to Norway? New York Times Whenever a Republican gets elected president, it is a standard reflex for die-hard liberals and progressives to wring their hands and moan about moving to Canada or Europe. For those of us who have lived abroad when I was 19, I moved with my ...

Is It Time to Move to Norway? - New York Times

Welcome back to Can't Handle the Truth, our Saturday column looking back at the past seven days of fake news and hoaxes that have spread thanks to the internet.

Donald Trump blew off steam Friday morning by doing his version of yoga: rage-filled tweets about the "fake media." As I pointed out last week, "fake media" means any negative press whatsoever (He'd accumulated some negative press during the week). But some of Trump's Friday tweets were right in an odd way: Over the past week a vast liberal fake news machine been churning out bullshit for the #ImWithHer crowd. And liberals have been lapping it up. For the most part, liberal enthusiasm for fake stories manifested itself as a boisterous LOL-fest on social media. But someincluding a Democratic senator's recitation of a talking point from a lefty conspiracy blogwas more consequential than that. Let's take a look:

Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey appeared on CNN Wednesday to talk about James Comey's firing and the need for a special prosecutor. Markey got one part right, about subpoenas being issued to some of Michael Flynn's associates. Thenhaving read something, somewherehe leapt without looking. "A grand jury has been impaneled up in New York," he said, wrongly implying that a prosecutorial body is beginning to build a case.

According to the Boston Herald, Markey had been reading conspiracy blogs, including the entertaining, off-kilter politics blog of former UK politician Louise Mensch and the Palmer Report, which is like a low-budget version of the Drudge Report, but for liberals.

Needless to say, citing these sources on TV is a bad look when you've tweeted about the need for honesty and facts from the Trump administration. If literally anyone gave half a shit about hypocrisy in 2017, Markey could have really gotten into trouble for that one.

On Tuesday night, during the news blitzkrieg that followed the firing of FBI director James Comey, a legitimately funny thing came along for liberals to laugh at: White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer gave a timid press briefing with no bright lights and no video, after concealing himself among the White House bushes (or near the buses, as the Washington Post clarified).

On Thursday, John Cohen, the producer of most of the worst children's movies made in the past ten years, tweeted about that legitimately funny thing. Then he went for seconds, tweeting about Spicer wearing mismatched shoes to work that day. The internet's insatiable mouth cooed, "Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum, I love it!" and Cohen racked up likes and retweets. Thousands of people enjoyed it.

But the tweet was flat-out false. First of all, that photo was from March. But more importantly, it shows Sean Spicer not being stupid, but injured and wearing a foot brace. Cohen has since deleted the tweet.

My colleague Eve Peyser covered this already, but in short, Stephen Colbert said the only thing Trump's mouth was good for was being a "cock holster" for Putin. Then came accusations of homophobia, a hashtag about taking away Colbert's job, the further proliferation of the hashtag by Trump fans, complaints to the FCC, and then, supposedly an FCC investigation.

Publications like Teen Vogue cried censorship. Comedians like Mike Birbiglia and Sarah Silverman ran to their usual corner, penning diatribes about free speech.

But while the FCC was actually looking into the matter, that's only because the FCC looks into every complaint it receives.

The above tweet, from someone named Najahta, embeds a clip from Comedy Central's poorly received The President Show, and features Donald Trump impersonator Tony Atamanuik getting an earful from a child who may or may not be an actor. "You're a disgrace to the world," the precious girl says to the comedian, before taking a phone picture. Somehow, the Comedy Central logo is missing from the video, making it look real. OK, maybe not real, but reality-adjacent.

It's a mystery what motivates people to smash that like button, but in my opinion, 400,000 people don't usually get this excited about a Comedy Central clip. More likely, the clip seemed like a moment liberals were just desperately hungry to seeso very hungry that an implausible facsimile with an audible laugh track was enough to fill the void.
