Fresh off an unfunny stint hosting the Emmy Awards on CBS, Cedric the Entertainer premiered a new season of his show The Neighborhood on Monday, September 20, and it was another embarrassing stroll down white guilt lane. In the episode, “Welcome to the Family,” Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer) and his white neighbor Dave (Max Greenfield) discover they are distant

We often lament the seemingly rapid passage of time, especially as we get older. Our kids grow up too fast. Vacations are over too quickly. All the good stuff is a blur. via GIPHY Joe Biden’s kinda/sorta presidency is not flying by, however. I am writing this on September 20, 2021, a mere seven months
President Joe Biden’s executive action requiring most U.S. workers to get vaccinated hurts working class Americans the most, according to polling and vaccination data. “Unfortunately, this disproportionately harms people of lower socioeconomic groups,” Jeffrey Singer, a health policy expert at the Cato Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation when asked about Biden’s vaccine mandate.

Parroting the Biden White House’s use of “horrific” to describe the images coming out of Del Rio, Texas Monday, ABC and CBS drew viewers’ attention to the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border. But no, they weren’t talking about the nearly 15,000 Haitian illegals living under the international bridge in squalid conditions. They were spreading misinformation
Joe Biden’s approval ratings, which have trended downward for the entirety of his presidency, have tanked in the past month. The biggest influence on his poll numbers in recent weeks has been his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan—which has prompted calls for his resignation and impeachment. Investigations are ongoing, yet after an initial sharp decline, Biden’s

Nikole Hannah-Jones interviewed on CBS This Morning, July 17, 2021. (CBS This Morning/via YouTube) Sean Wilentz is a proud liberal and sometimes a hard-edged Democratic partisan.

If a Biden blunder is too big to ignore completely, the liberal media will do the next best thing: move on as quickly as possible. On Friday afternoon, the Pentagon conceded a horrific addition to the President’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan as an August 29th drone strike that was touted as killing ISIS terrorists actually
Pfizer has announced that its COVID-19 vaccine is safe and generates a “robust” antibody response in children aged 5-11.

Days after January 6, 2021, Robert C. O’Brien invited me to the White House. Then-President Donald Trump’s fourth national security advisor, O’Brien was the least famous of the men who occupied the seat of Henry Kissinger and Brent Scowcroft during the 45th president’s tumultuous, at-times ecstatic, but then tragically concluded term in office. O’Brien’s three
Entertainment award shows are different in the post-Trump age. Gone are the loud and vulgar obscenities and rants against those who think differently than our woke betters in Hollywood. Award shows are back to being almost boring with a few randomly odd remarks sprinkled in that at least half of the viewers will find offensive.
We’re already at episode number 12, but we didn’t get each other any gifts. via GIPHY We recorded this shortly after I had written this column.

National identity has been a constant object of American public debate ever since Donald Trump rallied his first crowd to “make America great again” in 2015. As waves of demonstrations, riots, and purges have washed over the body politic, generalized worry over American unity has only grown. Voices of the left promise some distant unity
A new episode of FX on Hulu’s The Premise finds it impossible to believe that any victim of gun violence would still genuinely support gun rights. “Moment of Silence” was the second of two episodes the new series premiered on Thursday, September 16, and far darker than the first.

Donald Trump hasn’t exactly been secretive about his negative feelings for Mitch McConnell. “The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political ‘leaders’ like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm,” he said less than a month after leaving office. “McConnell’s dedication to business as usual, status quo policies, together with his lack
If you listen to the warped Left-Wing media or are a product of the American indoctrination institution we call the American Education System, you likely have never heard of Harry Hoosier.

Despite making “unity” a theme of his campaign, American voters feel this country is less united on Joe Biden’s watch, according to a new poll from Fox News. “By a 54-37 percent margin, they think the country is less united under Biden rather than more so,” the network reports. Many thanks to @JoeBiden the “unity”

(anyaberkut/Getty Images) One downside of the new media environment is that people with no journalistic — or apparently any other! — scruples can retail complete falsehoods as they please. Take this laughably conspiratorial and fictional post. It suggests that NR is killing anti-Google articles at the behest of Google. This is false. It says “sources
On Thursday, Politico “West Wing Playbook” writer Alex Thompson reported Washington Post writer Jennifer Rubin has transformed from ”one of the Obama administration’s most reactionary critics” to “one of the most reliable defenders of the Biden administration.” She has “distinguished herself as the Biden administration’s favorite columnist.” That makes you “distinguished,” and not obsequious. Examine the numbers: Chief

California proves that voting needs to be harder, Mark Milley admits to treason, and Covid sophistication is everywhere. 1. The failed recall effort for California’s gubernatorial seat isn’t a surprise, but it does highlight the fact that too many stupid people have access to immense power.
