(Reminder: Every episode is now in the Unwoke section of our new podcast page. I’ll still be doing teaser blurb posts in Columns as reminders that new episodes are up.)

Appearing as a guest on the latest episode of PBS’s reboot of Firing Line, MSNBC host Al Sharpton let it be known that he has not backed down from his infamous claims from 1987 that a teenage black girl was raped by several NYPD cops, which was ultimately found to be a hoax by a grand
Chinese state propaganda outlet Global Times was very excited before the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Davos 2023 began to meet “like-minded friends” and uphold the “dazzling” “Davos Spirit.” The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) doesn’t seem to be quite as ecstatic after the conference, but it still had many positive commendations to bestow on WEF and
Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky said Sunday that “connections” between China’s ruling party and the Biden family present serious concerns amid Biden’s document scandal. “I think most Americans would be shocked if they saw how many connections the Biden family has to people directly affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party,” Comer, who chairs the
For his Saturday show, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi began by lamenting that McCarthyism is coming back to the House of Representatives as Republicans take control and that the era of “useful committees” is over, or at least temporarily over. Giving a viewers a history lesson, Velshi explained that, “the House on un-American Activities Committee was meant to investigate communism
The Biden administration needed a course correction long ago, and sadly it never came. From the very beginning, it was clear that the presidency Joe Biden promised during the 2020 campaign was never going to happen. Joe Biden spent months telling Americans what they wanted to hear: that he would work with both parties to achieve
There is one thing to making mistakes, but showing no remorse compounds the misstep. To break the law and have such arrogance to say, “I have no regrets,” is to mock the matter. To be the Commander in Chief, the President of the United States, and to blow off a severe violation of the law
Netflix has a funny way of promoting its comedy specials. The streaming giant doesn’t always offer its stand-up hours to reviewers for pre-release coverage. The company also limits the number of pre-approved “stills” provided to journalists for various one-hour events. Netflix’s latest move, though, is a head-scratcher. The company recently released “Andrew Santino: Cheeseburger.” The
The liberal elite, overseers of the multinational corporate state plantation that has usurped American sovereignty, have made a big deal about pleading for “pandemic amnesty” so as to avoid any repercussions for the crimes against humanity over the past several years. People have short memories, especially as we struggle more and more to just survive
In the long history of memorably scintillating exchanges between British parliamentarians, one ranks as my personal favorite. Though attribution is sometimes disputed, it seems most likely that the principals were John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, and the member from Middlesex, John Wilkes. Montagu: Sir, I do not know whether you will die on the
Under the heading “Tin Foil Hat Party,” a headline in the once-influential music magazine Rolling Stone spouted about “The Conspiracies Powering the GOP-Controlled House — How Republicans have put disinformation and falsehoods at the center of their governing agenda.” What are some of the ghastly things the GOP wants to do with a new committee? The
The Biden administration wants credit for “cooperating” with the Department of Justice and the National Archives over the ongoing scandal involving Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents but wants us to forget that it hid the story from the public for over two months before it was leaked to the media earlier this month, and
Lately this poor nation has had numerous investigations into the actions of a sitting president, and the most memorable of these investigations has been performed by administration lawyers or the DOJ investigating its own president. The problem with the increasing woke/Progressive influence being imposed on our nation is that the legislature should be investigating issues
Fifty years ago this weekend, the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision split Americans on the issue of abortion, but the media elite have never been divided on the issue. Decades of surveys have consistently found journalists are staunch supporters of abortion, with one survey finding a near-unanimous 97 percent of top journalists “agreed that
On Friday at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany, the military leaders and defense ministers of the coalition of countries supplying military aid to Ukraine met to decide a critical question: should the allies escalate the war against Russia by supplying Kyiv with modern battle tanks? It’s a critical question because the allies have already
Google parent Alphabet has cut roughly 12,000 jobs across the company, affecting positions worldwide, CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a letter to employees Friday.

The U.S. has secretly upgraded the National Guard’s training program for Taiwanese troops as concerns over China’s designs for the self-governing island continue to mount, Nikkei reported. The training, not previously known, began some time before the spring of 2022 in attempt to increase the island’s deterrent effect against a possible Chinese invasion and improve U.S.-Taiwan cooperation,
The crew at CNN En Español´s Directo USA took the White House’s strategy of saying “as little as possible about the handling of President Biden´s documents” to heart. The subject garnered exactly 21 seconds of airtime after which anchor and correspondent whined over House GOP committee assignments. “At the White House press conference, where the
In 2015, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges. Gay rights groups applauded, but many conservative voices worried about the consequences. Some argued that legalizing same-sex marriage was a slippery slope that would lead to polygamy. It turns out that the slippery slope we should have been worrying about was
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released nearly 3,000 illegal immigrants from custody after they were affected by a data leak, an agency spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The late November accidental data breach involved the leaking of names, birth dates, nationalities and detention locations of approximately 6,000 illegal immigrants, according to ICE. The
Looking for information on “pregnancy”? Google’s got just the website for you: America’s largest baby-killing organization, Planned Parenthood. MRC Free Speech America researchers analyzed Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo search results for the word “pregnancy” in a “clean environment.” Researchers performed the analysis the day before the 50th annual national March for Life in Washington, D.C.
In the Washington Post Personal Finance section, there’s a helpful guide on “How to prepare financially in case of a debt ceiling crash.” It’s not quite as useless as “duck and cover” during a nuclear war, but it’s close. This is just the beginning of what promises to be about six months’ worth of doom-and-gloom

On Tuesday, New York magazine published a looooooong hit piece on what a horrible boss Elon Musk supposedly is at Twitter yet the biggest revelation was its admission that it favors censorship. This admission by the authors Zoë Schiffer, Casey Newton, and Alex Heath appeared in “Twitter’s staff spent years trying to protect the platform
Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is often a man of contradictions, and his recently voiced disapproval of the World Economic Forum (WEF) is no exception. Musk made excellent points about WEF, which has clearly published its elitist, authoritarian, woke goals and beliefs, and his comment that WEF is a sort of “unelected world government”
A recent rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) could classify millions of gun owners as felons should they fail to comply with the updated requirements, according to gun rights advocacy groups. The rule will force pistol brace owners, many disabled, to register their pistols as short barrel rifles (SBR) with the
Karma’s a b***h. Or, more appropriately: live by the sword … On Jan 14 local media reported that a drunken 32 year-old Carlos Alonso tried stealing a statue of St. Michael the Archangel. During the process he fell on the statue’s sword injuring himself. It’s really hard not to laugh about this. Supposedly, Alonso went
