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

Nation-building abroad was a fool’s errand, but the fall of Kabul may have troubling implications closer to home. Taliban fighters stand guard in a vehicle along the roadside in Kabul on August 16, 2021, after a stunningly swift end to Afghanistan’s 20-year war, as thousands of people mobbed the city’s airport trying to flee the
You have to give President Biden credit for consistency. Unfortunately, he has been consistently wrong. As Robert Gates, former defense secretary in the Obama administration once put it, Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Biden’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan (and former
Let Us Wander… Here’s Part One for those who need to catch up. Again, we recorded this mere hours after my uncle had died and I was really in the mood for some work-related distraction. Every once in a while a grieving person just wants to talk about comedy, weapons, and hot dogs. via GIPHY
Taliban fighters ride on a police vehicle outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, August 16, 2021. (Stringer/Reuters) Our Zachary Evans reports that the Biden State Department is telling Americans stuck in Afghanistan that they are on their own.

New Zealand recorded its first locally transmitted COVID-19 case since February, prompting Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to announce a nationwide lockdown Tuesday. Ardern told a roomful of reporters that health officials assumed the case involved the highly contagious Delta variant, although genome sequencing had yet to be completed. Nevertheless, Ardern said “level 4” mandates—the state’s
What happens to Joe Biden if he loses even Democratic stalwarts like Chuck Todd? The liberal Meet the Press host will assuredly switch back to propping up the President. But, for Tuesday at least, he said the quiet part loud and admitted that Biden has lost his so-called “competency” card. Covering the continuingly unraveling situation
One of the first things I thought in the wake of Biden’s epic disaster in Afghanistan was, “What must George W. Bush think about this?” His presidency was defined by 9/11 and the war on terror, and it was inevitable that he would release a statement about what has happened. As expected, he released a
President Joe Biden hosts a briefing in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, D.C., August 10, 2021. (Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters) Jake Sullivan confirmed today that President Biden has not spoken to a single world leader since Kabul fell to the Taliban. I’m confused as to which part of the “America is back”
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan hold a briefing Tuesday to continue the Biden administration efforts to spin the disastrous planning and execution of the Afghanistan pullout.

The major broadcast networks continued their welcome stance on Monday afternoon of holding President Biden accountable for the embarrassing collapse of Afghanistan and the peril Americans and Afghans have found themselves in. After Biden’s speech, ABC, CBS, and NBC lambasted it for having “missed the moment” in failing to “accept responsibility” for this “catastrophe” he’s caused
I have been a big fan of The Onion, going all the way back to when it was a Wisconsin-based print publication. Those who have become accustomed to my odd sense of humor won’t be surprised that I grew up devouring issues of satire stalwarts Mad Magazine, National Lampoon, and, for a while, Cracked. In recent years, The
A Taliban fighter runs toward a crowd outside Kabul airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, August 16, 2021. (Reuters TV) In an interview on MSNBC on Monday, Afghanistan war veteran Matt Zeller issued a powerful plea to President Biden that he should implement a plan to rescue tens of thousands of Afghans who assisted America’s war effort
An ex-advisor for the Obama administration called on President Joe Biden to fire his national security advisor in an opinion piece for USA Today on Monday. “The disaster that unfolded in Afghanistan is illustrative of other major issues at the White House,” Brett Bruen, the former director of Global Engagement for the Obama administration, wrote
On the latest NewsBusters Podcast: The Monday morning shows were a bad neighborhood for Team Biden. “Saigon on steroids,” proclaimed normally supportive George Stephanopoulos on ABC. NBC’s Savannah Guthrie pressed Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan on how Biden insisted there would be no dramatic collapse of the Afghan government. This was much tougher than
Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis has been suspended from Twitter. After managing to make it through the rough months following the 2020 election without being suspended, somehow she finally angered the gatekeepers at Twitter. What did she say, you ask? Well, that’s hard to answer, but here’s the notification she got: So, @JennaEllisEsq was suspended
President Joe Biden answers questions from reporters after speaking about the pace of coronavirus vaccinations at the House in Washington, D.C., July 29, 2021. (Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters) When an Obama cabinet secretary feels the need to criticize President Biden, you know things are bad. Here’s what Leon Panetta, who served as secretary of defense from 2011
A Democratic senator compared the scene in Kabul as the U.S. rushed to evacuate embassy personnel and Afghan allies to the fall of Saigon in 1975 on Monday. “Sad. My father was our next-to-last ambassador in Saigon, and our ambassador when ‘peace deal’ was negotiated in Laos,” tweeted Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island. “How
The producers of an upcoming documentary on Colin Kaepernick launched a blitz to promote it over the weekend. Screenwriter Michael Starrbury raved about Kaepernick’s acting abilities and suggested the fierce social justice warrior radical should play a Marvel superhero. Kaepernick quickly agreed to that. “Colin in Black & White” will premiere Oct. 29 on Netflix. Six episodes
I’ve been fatalistic about the future of Afghanistan for so long now that I can barely remember when mission creep made our failure there a certainty. Afghanistan isn’t a country. It’s a hole in the map where neighboring countries aren’t. Sometimes, a foreign power like Great Britain, the Soviet Union, or the United States will
Luther noted below the sickening scenes of panic at the Kabul airport. We reportedly have a deal with the Taliban for them to leave operations at the airport alone — if true, and if the Taliban abides by it, this is a good thing, since it would only take some indirect fire to make an
You’ve probably seen the TV ads for loan companies that promise fast cash for emergencies. Unfortunately, most of them want your car title, offer a paltry amount of money in return, and charge excessive interest rates. There’s got to be a better way, right? Fortunately, there are several techniques that are smarter, safer, and more
A robbed election, societal confusion, an evil joint-resolution to overthrow the American People. What makes you think that Joe Biden’s cognitive decline is not related to God’s divine intervention in history? You know, regardless of the age of time that we reside in currently, God has been on point with showing humanity that we truly
Afghanistan is firstly a George Bush problem. After spanking the Taliban for their role in protecting Bin Ladin, the U.S. left the country. But, Bush decided to go back in for some nation-building. That went as it always has and always will. Obama didn’t really do anything to win the conflict or lose it. He
In a Friday afternoon release, the Department of Homeland Security communicated that concerns over the election, Covid measures, and general anti-government sentiment was enough to be considered a terror threat. We are quickly reaching the point of no return. If you’re like me, then you have concerns over the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.
Summary: President Joe Biden will receive his daily briefing Monday while spending an extended weekend at Camp David. The president has spent a total of about 2 days at the White House over the last 11 and it’s not even Labor Day yet. The remainder has been spent at his home in Delaware and now
Middle Europe is still alive on the Danube, and that is an affront to many. I was tempted to write this column about Matt Yglesias specifically but I realized that wouldn’t be fair. By most measures it would be punching up—he has many more readers than I do and makes much more money—but it would
