BREAKING: Trump cancels summit with North Korea due to ‘open hostility’ (The Washington Times)
President Trump canceled his highly anticipated summit Thursday with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, telling him in a letter that North Korea’s “tremendous anger and open hostility” directed at the U.S. were unacceptable.
“You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used,” Mr. Trump told the North Korean leader.
The summit was thrown into doubt in recent days due to increasingly hostile comments from North Korean officials. On Wednesday night, a top North Korean diplomat called Vice President Mike Pence a “political dummy” and warned that the U.S. could face a “nuclear-to-nuclear showdown” if the administration didn’t give Pyongyang more respect.

What superstition? Alex Ovechkin not only touched the Prince of Wales Trophy – but once he took hold it looked like he never let go!
The Washington Capitals captain led his team to the Stanley Cup Final Wednesday with a 4-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. It’s the first time in his career Ovechkin will play for the Stanley Cup and the first time in 20 years that the Capitals have won the Eastern Conference Championship.
According to tradition, it’s bad luck for teams who win the Prince of Wales Trophy to touch it. But Ovechkin didn’t let that stop him! Video posted on Twitter by the Capitals shows Ovechkin taking the trophy on to the plane heading out of Tampa Bay and tucking it under his arm after the team landed in D.C. [Read More]

MEN RULE! New Study Finds Men Are Better Navigators Than Women (Daily Wire)
Men are better navigators than women.
Boom. Done. End of argument. (And if you look closely at the above picture, you’ll see the woman is holding the map upside down!).
Sure, we men may not pull over and ask for directions when we’re lost, ladies, but just remember next time that we are better than you at navigating, so just sit quietly in the passenger seat and we’ll get you where you’re going. [Read More]
I’m A Democrat, And The Left’s Russia Gaslighting Scares Me More Than Trump Does (The Federalist)
I am an ordinary voter living far from the Beltway who feels gaslighted by our political and media establishments regarding the Russia investigation. Our current Yanny versus Laurel political moment is probably confusing even for professional political commentators. But for ordinary Americans it is a bewildering, disorienting spectacle.
Which is it: Is Donald Trump a threat to the republic, or is the deep state the threat? Was the Russia investigation legit, or was it concocted by an out-of-control Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency? Was it an FBI “informant,” or was it a “spy”? [Read More]
An Oregon high school student is suing his school, saying it violated his First Amendment rights when it suspended him for wearing a Trump T-shirt.
The student, 18-year-old Addison Barnes, told FOX 12 that he was asked to cover up a T-shirt he was wearing that said “Donald J. Trump Construction Co.” on it, or leave school. The shirt also included a Trump quote: “The wall just got 10 feet taller.”
According to KGW, Barnes wore the shirt to his People and Politics class at Liberty High School in Hillsboro in January, and he told the TV outlet he knew they’d be discussing immigration in class that day. [Read More]
