We're nearing the finish line of this season of The Bachelor, and Arie Luyendyk Jr. is down to his three final ladies: Becca, Kendall, and Lauren.

Tonight's episode is gearing up to be unusually dramatic for a typical 'overnights' episode. Why? Well, a man we've never met before will turn up, and demand his lady back. The problem is that "his lady" is also one of Arie's final three.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply.
