The labor rights movement created Labor Day in the late 19th century. Seen as a celebration of the American worker, it became a federal holiday in 1894.

Rachel Maddow (MNSBC/via YouTube) At some point the journalistic injunction, “If your mother says she loves you, check it out” became “If it fits the Narrative, don’t bother to check it out.” Rolling Stone — which really ought to know better by now — just ran the mother of all journalistic corrections when it nuked
The Justice Department this week vowed federal law enforcement support to abortion clinics and to women seeking abortions in Texas following the passage of the state’s new pro-life law.

Meghan McCain ended her nearly four year stint as the sole conservative co-host on ABC’s The View, this past August. Tomorrow the next season begins without her, and seemingly without a permanent conservative co-host to take her place (though conservatives like Mary Katharine Ham are scheduled to guest host.) So we thought it would be
Warning: *Harsh language in every video* It’s a movement. As previously reported, Friday night’s game at Lane Stadium was the first time in two years that it was completely sold out.

The pandemic is spurring changes to Machu Picchu, some of which may last long after the global outbreak ends. The 15th century Incan archeological site has been a poster child for over-tourism for years, with visitors reporting trips to the site’s Citadel being ruined by crowds. The pandemic may have helped that. New rules now

Raw and shocking footage of the U.S. evacuation from Kabul shows much more chaotic scenes than many were led to believe happened during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Caleb Howe at Mediaite reports that The New York Times changed a headline on a mostly sympathetic story about Joe Biden invoking his late son Beau Biden…very routinely. It’s obvious this is another occasion when the paper’s overwhelmingly liberal audience reacted badly, like Tommy Christopher of Mediaite, to “Biden, Still Grieving His Son Beau, Finds That
The fall of Arif Naqvi, accused of stealing Bill Gates’s money and yours, exposed more corruption than just his own.

On Saturday afternoon, MSNBC weekend host Alex Witt displayed the liberal new network’s pro-abortion activism by gushing over teenage abortion rights advocate Paxton Smith, who gave a valedictory speech a few months ago that was hyped by the left. Witt even had Smith — now at University of Texas student — on her show to complain
I have, and it’s rather pointless. They’ll wear a mask in public by choice even though they’re fully vaccinated, and demand their schools impose a mask mandate despite the lack of risk to their kids.

As we have all learned from Joe Biden’s presidency, the phoniest/baloney-est claim from liberals is that they have a deep desire for national unity. There is no unity in compromise, only in surrender to the Left. At the end of Sunday’s Reliable Sources, fill-in host John Avlon interviewed the PBS gasbag Ken Burns, asking him
