The nation is gripped with a public health crisis, but apparently, the bureaucrats over at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) think what we really ought to be focusing on right now is banning menthol-flavored cigarettes.

The talentless Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday lashed out at African American Tim Scott for daring to disagree with his contention that the Republican Party is full of bigots.
