Monday night’s edition of the annual Emmy Awards received the lowest viewership numbers in the history of the ceremony. The NBC broadcast garnered just 5.9 million viewers, which was a 25 percent decrease from the 2021 ceremony, when 7.9 million viewers watched on CBS. In all honesty, this shouldn’t be a surprise. Award ceremonies like the
Merrick Garland, before you come after me, I wasn’t at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. I was at home, and I can prove it. If you dare send your goons after me, you’ll regret it. But I digress. I could go on about how the 2020 election was rife with irregularities, or how Democrat
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) announced last week that children under the age of 12 will no longer be offered Covid-19 vaccines, unless the children are deemed high risk.

How infantile are the so-called journalists at The New York Times? Well according to The New York Post, over 1,300 New York Times employees are refusing to return to the office and stop playing pandemic. While most companies have been back in the office for a while now, the pampered employees at The New York
U.S. News and World Report has issued its annual “Best Colleges” report to the usual whining and complaints by colleges and universities that they weren’t ranked higher as well as griping from parents that the “rankings” are useless. At the top of the list is — no surprise — that bastion of Ivy League wokeness,
About 25 years ago, there was a pressure cooker renaissance in America. Our grandmothers knew the day would come that we would return to their favorite kitchen tool to make fast braises, stews, soups and casseroles. They just didn’t know how we’d get there. If you, like me, are a Nervous Nellie who grew up
ABC’s World News Tonight and Good Morning America on Tuesday broke their network’s silence on the party of the brutal murder of longtime Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German by Democrat Clark County, Nevada Public Administrator Robert Telles. While the network ran an almost identical news package on the story during their morning and evening newscasts, they were
I have to be honest. For quite a while, I was convinced that the chances of holding onto the Senate being vacated by Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) were almost nil. Despite his Trump endorsement, Dr. Mehmet Oz repeatedly demonstrated he was a weak candidate. Moreover, polls showed him trailing Lt. Gov. John Fetterman by double

In all of my existence, I never thought I’d have to write a piece about a former first lady and her daughter discussing a song that talks about a “Wet Ass P***y.” Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea sat down with none other than Megan Thee Stallion where the trio painted canvases and had a chit-chat for
Ukraine’s current offensive, which is still gaining ground and capturing formerly occupied towns, has come as an unpleasant shock to the Russian military and civilian leadership. The Russian propaganda machine has spent the last several months claiming the operation to overthrow the “neo-Nazi” regime in Ukraine and install a government more friendly to Moscow was
Food prices have increased every month of 2022, with each month since February breaking 40-year records, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Sparks flew on Monday night’s episode of CNN Tonight when CNN political analyst Scott Jennings landed body blow after body blow against the leftists on the panel with him. The topic at hand was the news that Visa MasterCard and American Express will begin tracking gun purchases used with their credit card coding systems. As
“Russia,” one social media wit quipped recently, “Went from having the second-best army in the world to having the second-best army in Ukraine.” That might be an exaggeration, but if it is, it doesn’t exaggerate by much. My, how times have changed since February. What I’m trying to say is, I have maybe never been
Whether you want to look good or just feel better, makeup and skin care traditionally come at a significant cost — but not if you’re a dedicated cheapskate. While medications and beauty products you use must be safe, there’s no reason that you have to pay exorbitant prices to accomplish the goal. Here are some
CNN offered another clue Monday morning into how a properly-run CNN under Discovery and boss Chris Licht might look as New Day introduced a new segment called “Upon Further Review” to reexamine stories that, once facts emerged, showed something was different than the initial narrative. With the ever-pompous John Avlon at the helm, the first
It’s all but impossible these days to find mainstream media reporting on anything connected in any way with former President Donald Trump that does not reflect in the most blatant manner a deep-seated loathing of the man that defies rational explanation. Consider the fact that it’s been more than seven years since the modern Trump
Republican Rep. Bruce Westerman of Arkansas on Monday criticized Democratic attempts to investigate public relations firms for their role in promoting “climate change denial” in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Democrats on the House Natural Resources Oversight & Investigations subcommittee will hold a hearing on Wednesday titled “The Role of Public
A Fox News report concerning the left-stream media’s performance on the Rachel Richardson story reveals an ugly bias, not to mention pathetic examples of “journalism.” Richardson is the black Duke volleyball player who, on Aug. 26, claimed she was the victim of racial taunting and threats in a match at Brigham Young. Police investigators found no
It’s the 100th episode of The Fringe! In this episode, managing editor Paula Bolyard hangs out to talk about her awesome transformation after getting serious about fitness after 50!

Republican Florida Gov.

On Sunday morning’s Meet the Press on NBC, during the panel discussion, anchor Chuck Todd was previewing the upcoming 2022 midterm elections and President Joe Biden’s standing in the polls and overall public opinion when he turned to NBC News Washington correspondent and moderator of PBS’s Washington Week Yamiche Alcindor to remark that every swing
On Thursday, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96. I must admit, I couldn’t care less about the British Monarchy. I cringe on the inside whenever the media obsesses over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Who cares? Honestly, it seems that the main reason most Americans care about anyone in the royal
Strategic amnesia is a new syndrome that lets Democrats forget their guilt of the same behavior for which they demonize Republicans — especially when the GOP is innocent as charged. This is psychological projection plus time. Strategic-Amnesiac-in-Chief Joe Biden embodied this neurosis during the Snarl Heard ‘Round the World — his recent corrosive, divisive speech
Former Disney CEO Bob Iger says the company did not purchase Twitter because of “bot” accounts on the platform. On Thursday, the New York Post reported that Iger told attendees at the Vox Code Conference that “hate speech” and “bot” accounts were large factors in the decision not to purchase the platform. Iger discussed how
I wrote earlier about how I look back on 9/11 and long for the national unity that we as a nation felt. We the People had proven that while al Qaeda could knock down buildings, the foundation of America was solid. President George W. Bush observed in his radio address days after the attack that “A
President Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday that Americans might pay more for gas this winter due to upcoming European Union (EU) sanctions on Russian oil.

An August 26 women’s college volleyball match between Duke University and Brigham Young University in Utah was allegedly marred by a racist BYU fan yelling racist slurs at a black Duke player, according to her father. The only problem: It evidently didn’t happen, though that didn’t stop BYU from banning a fan falsely accused of
The outpouring of hate and outrage over the death of Queen Elizabeth II has been noteworthy for its timing. Rarely, if ever, has the death of a world-historical figure like Queen Elizabeth elicited such an instantaneous wave of revulsion. The left has been trying to outdo one another in posting the most vicious, the vilest
