The slaves of Moloch, Mammon, and Baal still walk among us, offering up their bloody sacrifices. Behold, as I looked on social media, those places of inner darkness, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth, and I rejoiced and I asked, where are your gods now? As Texas’s heartbeat abortion law went into effect
National Review editor Rich Lowry appeared on the Thursday installment on MTP Daily on MSNBC to debate former Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill on the Supreme Court’s decision not to issue an emergency stay against Texas’ new abortion law. An actual debate on MSNBC? Yes, but Lowry relied a combination of facts and logic while McCaskill relied on untruths and hyperbole

In response to What the Highly Vaccinated States Are Showing Us Jim, a little reservation about one point: On July 6, Massachusetts had 1,349 active cases of COVID-19 infection; by August 31, the state had 34,671 active cases, a 25-fold increase. It cannot be emphasized enough: Vaccination does not prevent infection and cases, and an
ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows ignored an abysmal jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to further insulate President Joe Biden from bad news. The BLS reported at 8:30 a.m. Friday that the U.S. economy only added an embarrassingly low 235,000 jobs in August, against economists’ forecast of 720,000 jobs. That

As NewsBusters reported earlier this week, Gold Star fathers of two of the Marines killing at the Kabul airport during the Afghanistan evacuation spoke out against President Biden in outrage of him disrespecting their sons and looking at his watch during the dignified transfer. Well, on Wednesday, a Biden sycophant at USA Today named Daniel
There’s no denying that Democrats want us to move on from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Since the collapse of the U.S.-backed government, we’ve learned that Joe Biden ignored the recommendations and warnings of his advisers, pushing forward with a withdrawal that he knew would end in disaster. In the past week, we’ve learned from

When has a president had a worse month? “April is the cruelest month,” wrote T. S. Eliot in the opening line of what is regarded as his greatest poem, “The Waste Land.” For President Joe Biden, the cruelest month is surely August of 2021, which has now mercifully ended. When has a president had a
Along with the decline of Afghanistan questions continuing into Thursday’s White House press briefing with only 13 being asked, the Texas abortion law gave the liberal media an off-ramp to drop that humanitarian and security disaster as they dedicated roughly 29 questions to defending the left’s rabid support for murder. But when it came to

Day two of CNN’s outrage over the Supreme Court declining to block the Texas law that bans most abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. On Wednesday, we noted substitute New Day host Kaitlan Collins claiming the Texas law “predominantly affect[s] lower-income women.” Collins thereby ignored the countless unborn babies whose lives will be saved

Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said he favors eliminating his state’s income tax during a conservative conference on Friday.

The liberal media’s fever may have finally broken after spending the last two weeks or so heavily criticizing President Biden’s unmitigated disaster of a withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The cover of the September 6 issue of People magazine is all about actor Val Kilmer and his “harrowing cancer battle.” But there in the table of contents was this surprise on page 50: “Crisis in Afghanistan: Veterans and refugees reflect on the end of America’s longest war.” There was no reflection or judgment of
Bush-era “peace and social justice” group Code Pink will do what small thing it can to destabilize the shaky peace between mainland Communist China and the Republic of China on Taiwan.
