The same networks that credulously pushed the idea that uniter Joe Biden would “embrace” and heal America now have no problem when the Democratic President trashes red states like Texas and Mississippi as “Neanderthals.” On Wednesday and Thursday, ABC, CBS and NBC offered zero criticism for the nasty attack Biden leveled at states scaling back

Last week one of Michelle Goldberg’s opinion columns at the NY Times caught my attention. It was a critique of conservative resistance to wokeness which, to put it mildly, missed a few things. She followed that up with another column which I didn’t see until today. Published Monday, the piece is titled “Why Democrats Aren’t
We can look to Operation Warp Speed for some good news mixed in amongst all of the disheartening news that we are being blasted with daily. I am a news junkie but even for me, the pace of the news in 2021 is frenetic and most of it is alarming. It really makes you question

ABC spent a lot of time and effort during Wednesday’s World News Tonight desperately peddling New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo’s so-called “apology,” after he was accused by three young women of sexual harassment including unwanted touching. In contrast, the CBS Evening News gave more time to sharing the reaction of his accusers, even speaking with

When it comes to China and its vast consumer market, even the most sanctimonious of woke U.S. businesses — say, Disney and the NBA — can’t seem to work up much outrage at that government’s outrages against Muslim minorities or Hong Kong democrats. But that may change because of a Chinese court ruling. National Review’s
As the Biden administration has taken the reins of the Department of Justice, the feds have dismissed dozens of charges against violent rioters in Portland, Oregon.

Fifty is a nice, round number. It looks good: “The 50 States of the United States.” I can vaguely remember when it was the “good ole’ 48” states. And then Alaska and Hawaii entered the union and 48 became 50. Back then, we all looked around and didn’t see any more room for a state.
