On his Saturday morning show Velshi, MSNBC host Ali Velshi played fact checker, claiming it’s a “LIE” to say President Biden’s agenda is socialism.

There is no suppression going on of anyone’s votes anywhere in the country. Anyone who says otherwise is just making it up. The Census Bureau’s recent release of its 2020 election survey of voters clearly demonstrates that those who have been claiming, without justification or evidence, that we have been experiencing a wave of so-called voter suppression have

Samantha Bee recently admitted she lets politics invade her “comedy.” It’s the worst kept secret in Hollywood, a rule that virtually every mainstream comic follows in our deeply divided culture.

What with all the mass shootings, anti-Asian violence, and the beginning of riot season, the media doesn’t seem to be paying attention to the mounting mountain of evidence regarding the Democrats’ historic gutting of the Constitution and stealing the election.

Liberals are having it both ways right now. It’s nuts to suggest Joe Biden has a plan to take away your meat. But the eco-lefties really want to limit everyone’s meat intake, especially beef. On Saturday night’s All Things Considered, NPR host Michel Martin brought on New York Times columnist and food writer Mark Bittman
By now many Americans have read a glowing news article about the latest celebrity to have a child via surrogacy or watched a human-interest piece about a woman carrying a child for a loved one.

(Michael Burrell/Getty Images) Leftist economists and pundits tell us that the current federal binge is nothing to worry about. It’s necessary to “build back” the economy and those right-wingers who talk about inflation are just glomy “market fundamentalists” who can be ignored.

I recently argued that the Biden administration is to blame for the significant amount of vaccine hesitancy that is happening right now.
