If you’ve still got cable I promise that watching these emotional midgets fall apart will make you finally cut the cord.

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain sure has taken his loyalty to Joe Biden to extreme levels of absurdity lately. We all know that Joe Biden doesn’t have the chops to handle the presidency. It’s widely believed that Klain is the man behind the curtain in the White House, and as such is mostly
Representatives from the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) met with Education Department officials on Monday to discuss “how they are addressing students’ academic needs, tackling the social-emotional needs of students and staff, and using funds from the American Rescue Plan (ARP) to help with recovery efforts,” according to a DOE press release.

Many liberals who call themselves journalists, inspired by Harvard’s Nieman Lab, are now publicly calling for ditching objectivity in their profession in favor of what they call “solidarity for social justice” as their goal. Not only are many making no attempt to hide their disdain for objectivity, they are loudly urging it. Among them is Washington Post Margaret
First, the leftists attacked Judge Mizelle. She’s a Trump appointee (Gasp!), she’s only 35 (Grab the fainting couch!), and she was confirmed after the 2020 election (AAAAAUUUUUUUUUGH!). The media dripped with disdain for Mizelle; at The New Republic, Jason Linkins condescendingly referred to her as “a Trump-appointed judge of questionable legal credentials and an appetite
For many of us, it feels as if the investigation into the origins of the Russia Hoax by Justice Department Special Counsel John Durham has been going on almost as long as the hoax itself. But a reliable source, and one who is not of the “anonymous” variety, believes that multiple indictments could be handed
“And they’re off,” as the callers of horse races say, but in this case, it means the government will no longer enforce mask mandates on airplanes, trains, buses, subways and other forms of public transportation. U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a judge for the Middle District of Florida, said the rule exceeded the authority
There was once a time when Barack Obama could blow his nose and elicit cheers from his adoring fans.

Upon Angela Merkel’s departure from the Kanzleramt in Berlin in late 2021, liberals everywhere loaded her with praise. She was lauded as a European and world leader, a skillful crisis manager, a guarantor of stability against dangerous populists. Shortly after Donald Trump’s election, the New York Times had proclaimed her “the liberal West’s last defender.” During the migrant
As Earth Day came and went, the New York Times still insists the Democrats can ride to victory on the issue of climate change – or at least the party is doomed if it doesn’t embrace extreme measures touted by…a high school student? That was environmental reporter Lisa Friedman’s spin in Saturday’s edition, “Frustrated by
As most of the nation seems thrilled to rip off their face masks and breathe again, I’m simultaneously amused and annoyed by the people who still wear them. You see all kinds of situations. One of the worst are maskless adults with masked children. I don’t see that as much anymore, but it happens. One
As all of the job approval ratings have shown lately, Americans don’t like you, Joey Biden, nor your dog, nor your wife, nor your druggie son. We especially don’t like your mandates, your open borders, your inflation and your spending. We don’t like the stuttering and stammering you always bring with you when you speak.
While liberal media outlets cheer on the “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” organizing that spreads woke ideology through corporations, it seems “diversity” in racial hiring is tougher than their rhetoric.

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said Americans couldn’t trust the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) after it failed to provide answers about a massive leak of confidential tax documents.

Have you ever had that experience where you talk about something, and then voila! An ad pops up in your Facebook timeline for that product or one of its competitors?
