As President Biden epically fails in trying to clean up his Afghanistan debacle, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace has responded in kind by turning her show into state-run TV. Wallace spent a good deal of her show Thursday deflecting blame from the president and talking about anything else besides Afghanistan. A man arrested outside the Library of

Well, Isn’t This Spectacular? If you still know any people who openly admit to voting for Joe Biden and are still insisting that things are going well, wrestle them into a straitjacket and get them off to the nearest insane asylum. Really, you will be doing them a kindness. via GIPHY Yeesh, what a week,

From the cover of The Amateur Hour (Johns Hopkins University Press) Students often complain that their professors are boring and little interested in the classes they teach. How different from other service industries, where people are so eager to do their best. A new book by Jonathan Zimmerman entitled The Amateur Hour explores the history
Thankfully the extremely racist, two-part episode on Freeform’s grown-ish is behind us, but, unfortunately, the show’s not done spewing racism. Should we really expect anything else from a show that said white people are “inherently bad,” and featured a protestor holding a sign reading, “Put avocado on racism so white people will pay attention?” On
Ben Sasse, one of the more jovial and introspective senators in America, has had enough. Thursday on The Hugh Hewitt Show, the Nebraskan castigated the Biden administration on their world-changing blunders in Afghanistan. “When you combine the failures morally, the failures of planning leadership, and the failures of just communication to the American people about
President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly charging American citizens upwards of $2,000 to board evacuation flights out of Afghanistan’s only operational airport. Those that make their way through armed Taliban checkpoints and into the airport could then be charged upwards of $2,000 from the State Department to board evacuation flights, sources on the ground told

The recent ignominious departure from office of Andrew Cuomo is the latest act in New York’s sad saga of political decline. Cuomo fell because of his private life, such as it was; the right thing for the wrong reason. The standards applied to him would have victimized, among others, the state’s 49th governor, Nelson Rockefeller.
Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday, Washington Post columnist and associate editor David Ignatius sympathized with “shell-shocked” White House staffers for which the catastrophe in Afghanistan has “been really, really difficult.” The concern for the emotional well being of top Biden aides came amid discussion of the President’s disastrous ABC interview in which he callously
Things are a disaster at home and abroad, and the recent debacle in Afghanistan has Republicans floating invoking the 25th Amendment as well as impeachment. While I suspect these efforts will go nowhere, they do speak to the growing problem of Joe Biden’s incompetent presidency and the likely growing desire for Democrats to achieve a
Socialist enterprises are not typically known for being efficient and well-run. So, it’s not exactly surprising that drama and dysfunction are consuming the openly left-wing, anti-capitalist magazine Current Affairs—and may well tear the publication apart. The drama started Wednesday, when former high-level employees took to Twitter with lengthy complaints claiming they had been fired for

A Chicago-based environmental group filed an emergency request Monday to stop the construction of President Barack Obama’s presidential library. Protect Our Parks and others asked the Supreme Court to halt construction in the city’s Jackson Park, arguing that the library was unlawfully segmented into multiple projects to order to avoid a full assessment of the project’s
President Biden’s Afghanistan disaster was so eclipsing that it was forcing the media to actually do some real journalism for a change. And during an exclusive interview with Biden on Wednesday, ABC’s normally partisan chief anchor, George Stephanopoulos grilled him on how he had misled the American people on how smoothly the withdrawal would go
Shaking Things Up Now that Joe Biden has expanded his “let’s ruin everything” plan to include the entire planet I thought I’d take a couple of episodes to focus on things that transcend this world. I don’t write much having to do with faith anymore but I do like talking to people about religion and

Twitter announced Tuesday it will test a feature allowing users to report tweets they believe are misleading, as the company cracks down on alleged misinformation. Users in the U.S., South Korea, and Australia will be able to select the “It’s Misleading” option when reporting a tweet, the company announced Tuesday. The social media platform said it
All week, MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid has shilled for the Biden administration amidst the embarrassing and deadly collapse of Afghanistan that’s trapped thousands of Americans and Afghan allies. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Reid’s spin ranged from arguing this was what the American people wanted to blaming Donald Trump for the calamity to
(Kruiser’s Permanote Description: This column is intended to be a lighthearted, short-form way to frequently connect with our cherished VIP readers. Sometimes it will be serious.

1. The human suffering in Afghanistan is so evil. And that dear girl likely has sexual torture ahead of her, if it hasn’t started already: “An Afghani interpreter I have come to know well over the years was hung in the streets last night. They melted his DoD ID into his chest. Cut off his
The scenes coming out of Afghanistan right now are nothing short of brutal. Amid the much-belated withdrawal of US troops, the Taliban has once again seized control of much of the nation, as the alternative government the US spent decades trying to prop up quickly collapsed. From the renewed subjugation of women and desperate attempts
New York Times reporters Shawn Hubler and Jill Cowan covered the upcoming gubernatorial recall vote in California for Wednesday’s edition, a race which polls suggest is a dead heat, and tried to help sitting Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom by smearing the idea of the recall and Newsom’s leading conservative opponent, black conservative talk show host Larry
The Durham investigation has now gone on longer than Mueller’s involvement in the Trump/Russian collusion hoax. Durham’s review has thus far resulted in one prosecution, an FBI lawyer who was convicted for altering documents and was sentenced to probation. Durham’s report is rumored to have its sights on several low-level members of the FBI and

Multiple watchdog groups say Rep. Ilhan Omar may have violated federal law for failing to mention any income received from her critically-acclaimed 2020 memoir in her latest financial disclosure. Omar’s memoir launched in May 2020 to rave reviews by the press and prominent Democratic lawmakers such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The partisans push for the end of voting. As thousands of illegal migrants from all over the world invade this country—some of them sick with Covid-19 and some surely criminals—they are not just unstopped by border patrol agents (acting under the president’s orders) but actually encouraged by the president himself to come illegally. Meanwhile, Attorney
Four summers ago, the network evening news shows obsessed over Donald Trump Jr. attending a brief and ineffective meeting with Russians in Trump Tower in 2016. He hoped to get “dirt” on Hillary Clinton, but nothing came of it. ABC, CBS, and NBC offered viewers more than 62 minutes of coverage energetically speculating over collusion
The collapse of Afghanistan, record inflation, high gas prices, and the border crisis appear to have already taken their toll on Joe Biden’s popularity, as multiple polls are now showing that approval for Biden is starting to tank. At least in some polls. The latest survey from Rasmussen Reports shows Biden polling underwater, with 45
The many people who are certain that America must be torn down and rebuilt along their utopian collectivist fantasies have unleashed a diabolical weapon — something called critical race theory. If its proponents were to have their way, the U.S. would be utterly transformed, from a country where people succeed or fail as individuals into
