On Sunday, MRC’s Brent Baker noticed that ABC This Week host Martha Raddatz spent July 4 complaining about Republicans dealing a blow to “election rights.” The whole introduction had a biased sound to it: RADDATZ: The nation celebrates democracy, as the president promotes a return to normalcy…. The Trump Organization and its CFO charged with a
This country needs a 9/11-style commission–and not for January 6. The COVID-19 pandemic response resulted in so many questionable actions from our public health bureaucracy that Americans deserve answers and accountability. The unelected, lab coat-wearing, glorified program managers that roam the halls of the CDC, NIH, and FDA should be the death of the progressive

During a pre-game preview show for the Chicago White Sox’s televised Sunday game against the Detroit Tigers, former Major League Baseball player and manager Ozzie Guillen teared up when he remembered the day in 2006 that he became a United States citizen and became emotional when he discussed the opportunities the United States has provided
The New York Times off-lead story Monday by national political correspondent Alexander Burns was headlined, “U.S. Surges, But Politics Hold Firm – Partisanship Immune to Signs of Recovery.” But it may as well have been titled, “What Is Wrong With You Trump Voters?” Flummoxed by Biden’s stubbornly so-so approval rating and continuing GOP strength, as shown
(Stock image: Halfpoint/Getty Images) As if we needed further evidence that medicine is growing increasingly impersonal, the Canadian Medical Association Journal has published a study that claims a computer program can predict when seniors have six months to live.

Mention Mel Brooks in a crowd and you’re bound to get one of two reactions. Some will start reciting classic lines from his films, such as … “Put the candle back!” It’s pronounced “Fronkensteen.” Funny, she doesn’t look Druish! Or, they’ll lament how the current culture warriors wouldn’t allow Brooks’ Blazing Saddles to be made today. Both
My PJ Media colleague Robert Spencer recently called C-SPAN’s survey of presidential historians “clearly useless” and “chilling” for being a shameless hit piece on Trump. And that’s true. It will be decades before Trump has a chance of getting a fair shot at having his place in history assessed with even a smidgeon of objectivity. But I’m
More than 1,000 members of the Afghanistan security forces escaped to neighboring Tajikistan as the Taliban waged attacks throughout the country’s northern region.

CNN’s New Day team was thrilled Monday morning by a new law proposed by a Democrat mayor that would make gun owners in one California city literally pay for the actions of criminals.

“I never said that I hated the country,” third-place hammer thrower Gwen Berry told CNN after turning away from the United States flag as the national anthem played during this week’s Olympic trials. “All I said was I respect my people enough to not stand or acknowledge something that disrespects them.” Berry’s statement echoes that
The career of Francois Mitterrand has bemused many biographers. A political chameleon, he was noted for his progress from a functionary of Vichy France and at least a putative recipient of its highest decoration, the Francisque, to a popular front with the Communist Party in the early 1980s, and then halfway back again, with an
