On Monday morning, Dawn Best, whose mother died in April after COVID-19 ravaged her nursing home, accused NBC News and other outlets of censoring her condemnations of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.). Cuomo infamously directed nursing homes to accept patients who had tested positive for COVID-19, in contradiction of federal guidelines. NBC News allegedly told Best
I guess this is one of those things that was sort of an open secret. Actress Evan Rachel Wood, best known for her starring role in Westworld, has been talking for years about the abuse she suffered in a former relationship, even testifying before Congress on the topic of abuse survivors. But she had never
Many great military commanders lead by example, and Marine Corps Lt. Col. James Dyess was no different.

Joy Behar, co-host of “The View,” suggested over the weekend that every American student, most of whom have had their education relegated to remote learning since the beginning of the pandemic, should be forced to “repeat” this school year. According to Behar, returning to in-person learning should be jettisoned completely this school year. “Sending kids
Shutting down schools or forcing kids to wear masks – either one is likely the greatest crime ever committed against children under the most false pretenses imaginable. New research continues to show that schools are not drivers of spread, not to mention the fact that the virus is not dangerous to children. Meanwhile, children continue
A study released by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights decided that the argument that conservatives are being censored by Big Tech is “not legitimate.” “False Accusation: The Unfounded Claim that Social Media Companies Censor Conservatives,” levied the accusation that conservative censorship is a myth.

From cloying cliches to bizarre self-contradictions, the 78-year-old president’s speech was a master course in political inanity. Now that the fawning over President Biden’s inaugural address is over, we can take a serious look at it. It was, in a word, awful. Probably no one expected much from the 78-year-old failing politician, so no one
For more than nine years, Ryan T. Anderson helped The Heritage Foundation confront some of the biggest cultural issues facing America.

Last month, I had a piece about Joe Biden’s stimulus plan, under which the federal government would fling $1.9 trillion at pretty much everyone in sight. Now ten moderate Republican senators have a $618 billion counteroffer and are meeting with Biden today. The number ten is significant because these senators could combine with the 50
As department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue try to get shoppers back into stores after the Covid-19 pandemic shutdowns, the shift to online sales may continue to accelerate thanks to personalization technology.

On Saturday, MSNBC host Tiffany Cross broke all the usual rules about how anti-Trump Republicans are used. She invited former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci on her show to expose him, not to exploit him. Cross began by showing a typical old clip of Scaramucci expressing his love for Donald Trump, which she claimed showed he
While Dr. Fauci is now telling Americans to double-mask for more protection, Michael Osterholm, a top infectious disease expert who was an advisor to Joe Biden’s transition team, warns that double-masking can actually do more harm if one of the masks isn’t being worn correctly.

When English-speaking journalists complain about something on social media, social-media giants act. In another case, one of the most popular Facebook groups in Ireland — Ireland’s Eye — was shut down for spreading misinformation on COVID, along with several other groups. From what I can gather, it certainly did spread misinformation and some truly batty
The Biden administration will tap Suzi LeVine to join the Labor Department as interim political head of the Employment and Training Administration, Bloomberg reported.

President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party were blasted by their own supporters over the weekend after the Democratic Party made it clear that Biden would be pursuing $1,400 stimulus checks in another coronavirus relief bill — not $2,000 checks like Biden and other Democrats promised.

CNN’s Brian Stelter declared Fox News was an information polluter in his show-starting “Murrow” editorial on Sunday’s Reliable Sources. Fox needs to have its “freedom of reach” reduced, in the interests of “harm reduction.” Yet somehow it’s “dishonest” to complain that’s an attempt at censorship, silencing, or suppression. How stupid does he think CNN’s viewers
CBS’s long-running hit Blue Bloods depicts a faithful, self-made leadership class that flies in the face of Hollywood. CBS’s Blue Bloods remains an unexplained anomaly. Now in its improbable eleventh season, a television show less suited to the ruling zeitgeist can hardly be imagined. As the double meaning of the title indicates, the Irish-Catholic Reagan
Millions of Americans are still unemployed in the wake of COVID-19 shutdowns. Unfortunately, President Joe Biden’s so-called American Rescue Plan fails to provide targeted relief to those directly impacted by the pandemic. Instead, it borrows nearly $2 trillion more from future generations in order to dispense $1,400 checks to tens of millions of Americans already
