Matt Feeney: Whether to get your little kid an iPad, or get your middle-schooler an iPhone, or let your high schooler be an Instragrammer or sleep with her phone under her pillow, might seem like it’s technology’s question to answer. It might seem like another bland dictate from the governing power you have to go

On Sunday, desperate to deflect media criticism of President Biden’s catastrophic Afghanistan failures, CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter suggested other topics like climate change really needed to take priority in the press. His panel of liberal pundits predictably agreed and argued that coverage of the foreign policy debacle was overblown. “Now let’s evaluate coverage,

Since the botched withdrawal of Afghanistan, CNN’s Jake Tapper has criticized Joe Biden for trying to blame everyone else but himself. “[Joe Biden] said that the buck stopped with him but, in fact, this speech was full of finger-pointing and blame, especially for the Afghans […] He did not really get into or accept any blame

I don’t want to say that Larry Elder is smarter than you think—but Larry Elder is probably smarter than you think. The all-but-literally comic-sans announcement email that arrived in my inbox last month that the “Sage of South Central” was in the race, instructing “his Elder-ados and Elderberries” to get in gear, belied what would

Even though host Trevor Noah was on his summer hiatus, The Daily Show was still pumping out content on their YouTube channel. On Friday, the Comedy Central program made their first foray into using their “Dailyshow-ography” bit to target a liberal. This time they decided to tear into the roid-raging CNN Prime Time host known

This was supposed to be a discussion with my friend Jon Gabriel from Ricochet about faith but we’re both refocusing our efforts for a few days after the attacks in Kabul on Thursday. He will be joining me at the end of next week. Now, however, might be the perfect time to talk about faith,

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice shared alarming news in his COVID-19 press briefing on August 23, 2021. And while the small state’s local news is barely a blip on the radar of larger networks, the contents should alarm vaccine advocates everywhere.  During the first weeks of the vaccine rollout, West Virginia won gold stars from

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky visits armed forces in the Donetsk region, Ukraine, October 14, 2019. (Ukrainian Presidential Press Service / Handout via Reuters) President Biden came to office promising to support U.S. allies, including Ukraine, and stand up to Russian aggression in Europe, but he’s alienated Ukrainian pro-democracy and anti-corruption advocates with his failure to

On Saturday’s PoliticsNation show, MSNBC again showed its hostility to pro-lifers when host Al Sharpton allowed a guest to ridiculously liken opponents of abortion to “suicide bombers.” Here’s the full quote: “ What it reminds me of quite honestly is a suicide bomber, someone who feels like they have the right and the moral duty to mess up somebody else’s life

Kathy McCollum, the mother of 20-year-old Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum, who was killed in the ISIS-K attack at the Kabul airport last week, blasted Joe Biden on Saturday when she called in to The Wilkow Majority on SiriusXM. “My son was one of the Marines who died yesterday,” McCollum told host Andrew Wilkow. “20 years and

In 1787, during the Constitutional Convention, James Madison—who is often referred to as the Father of the Constitution—described the Senate as “a necessary fence” which would protect “the people against their rulers” and from “the transient impressions into which they themselves might be led.” George Hoar, who served as a senator from Massachusetts from 1877

In a week full of jaw-droppers from the Biden administration, this ranks right up there. “The Taliban and Haqqani Network are separate entities,” @StateDept Spokesperson. 🤦🏻 pic.twitter.com/XpCTn68mfH — Ihsanullah Tipu Mehsud (@IhsanTipu) August 27, 2021 What’s worse is that I have no idea if State Department spokesman Ned Price is gaslighting us or if the

You can tell just how perfectly The Washington Post fits into the White House publicity apparatus when it posts articles proclaiming that they have Fox News reporter Peter Doocy exactly where they want him. He is a “useful foil,” reports Philip Bump, and he’s easily foiled.  Peter Doocy is a useful foil for the White

The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist, although sometimes it’s nice if you can extract some actionable intelligence from them first. But only sometimes. With that in mind, let’s applaud Presidentish Joe Biden for ordering the strike — or having been instructed to order the strike — that killed an ISIS-K “planner” late on

David Clements, who was a professor at New Mexico State University (NMSU), has been let go from his teaching position after resisting the authoritarian mask, testing and vaccine mandates at his school and from his state’s governor, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

A doctor holds a stethoscope in the Intensive Care Unit at the Melun-Senart hospital near Paris, France, October 30, 2020. (Benoit Tessier/Reuters) Please understand, dear readers, that when assisted-suicide advocates promise strict guidelines to protect against abuse, they don’t really mean it. The promise’s purpose is to get the law passed, not to be kept.

Imagine a world in which a professional athlete – in peak physical shape — could be ridiculed and punished for not taking an experimental vaccine for a disease with a minimal death rate. Sounds too ridiculous to actually happen, right? Well, not exactly. Bills wide receivers Isaiah McKenzie and Cole Beasley already been punished  by the

Joe Biden met with new Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett at the White House on Friday for about an hour in a wide-ranging discussion on security issues impacting both nations.

Taliban forces patrol a street in Herat, Afghanistan, August 14, 2021. (Stringer/Reuters) My reader who is trying to get his company’s former Afghan employees out of the country – including one that is a U.S. green card holder – has no good news in his latest update. (See here, here, here, here and here for background on this reader.)

Most Americans have looked at the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and considered it an embarrassment to America. But flagrantly pro-Biden journalists are energetically spinning that everything is quite hunky-dory…right up until Thursday’s suicide bombing that killed 13 Marines and 169 civilians, as they still try to separate human remains. On Wednesday, Eric Levitz of New

Biden has justified his botched Afghanistan withdrawal for a couple of weeks by saying  it was time to end the “endless war.” “And an endless American presence in the middle of another country’s civil conflict was not acceptable to me,” Biden said on August 14, 2021. He echoed that sentiment two days later. “I have

On Monday New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the government would be extending its lockdown following an outbreak of the Delta variant. “We don’t yet believe that we have reached the peak of this outbreak, or necessarily the edge of it,” Ardern said at a news conference in the capital Wellington.

In a little more than two weeks, Californians will decide whether to oust liberal Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and install the winning candidate among the more than 40 hopefuls on the ballot. Right now, the leader of the pack to replace Newsom is conservative talk show host Larry Elder, so he’s currently the main target

On Biden’s first day in office, new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki took to the podium and claimed that Biden’s objective was to “to bring transparency and truth back to government — to share the truth even when it’s hard to hear,” She added that “That’s something I hope to deliver on in this

Here’s a sharp Points and Figures post about the political response to COVID. Money quote: “Covid is just not as serious as the politicians are making it out to be. They have another goal. Increase their power. Political entities love power. The Founders recognized that and enshrined people’s rights into the Constitution. It’s worth pointing
