When it came to coverage of the Andrew Cuomo sexual-harassment scandal, it was a tale of two networks this morning. MSNBC’s Morning Joe devoted its entire first half-hour to covering the story in all its lurid detail. And no fewer than nine times, Morning Joe referenced CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who advised brother Andrew during

Ohio’s 11th Congressional district is a safe Democratic seat that encompasses the Democratic enclaves of Cleveland and Akron. It’s about as safe a Democratic seat as any in the country, but for the last few months, it has been a war zone. The war was between liberal Democrats and bat-guano crazy Democrats. Nina Turner was
A Black Lives Matter group demanded the resignation Tuesday of the Rhode Island Democratic Party chief political strategist after she tweeted disparaging remarks about Sen. Lindsey Graham. Kate Coyne-McCoy, a Democratic Party strategist and political consultant, sent a now-deleted tweet Monday seemingly wishing death on the senator after his COVID-19 diagnosis. Graham had tested positive
A student receives a dose of a coronavirus vaccine on the campus of the University of Memphis in Memphis, Tenn., July 22, 2021. (Karen Pulfer Focht/Reuters) Bloomberg Businessweek offers a cover story that is intriguing, but really puts the cart before the horse: “Vaccine Mandates for Kids Could Be the Next Big Back-to-School Fight.” Yes,
It’s been barely a month since J.D. Vance’s senatorial campaign launched, and he is already pretty sick of being accused of using culture war issues to distract from economics. From the Washington Post to Vanity Fair, the consensus is that the author of Hillbilly Elegy has turned from an explainer of Trump to an imitator.
On Tuesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) released a damning investigative report into New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo’s criminal sexual misconduct. As part of that report, the AG disclosed how CNN’s host Chris Cuomo was part of Andrew’s damage control sessions, advising his brother, writing his official statements, and telling him to
“This is a sad day for New York because independent investigators have concluded that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and, in doing so, broke the law,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement. Cuomo’s political troubles began earlier this year when his deadly nursing home COVID policy finally started to get

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaks from the One World Trade Center Tower in New York City, June 15, 2021. (Mike Segar/Reuters) I’ve made bad predictions before, but I don’t see Andrew Cuomo showing himself to the door just because the state AG issued an exhaustive report confirming what we have known since last winter:
In a damning report (and multiple appendixes) put out by the New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday detailing the sexual harassment and sexual assault from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) against multiple women, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was implicated in being among the many advisors tapped to help Andrew respond to the
The Supreme Court ruled in June that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not have the constitutional authority to impose a ban on evictions nationwide. That seemed to end the argument that the government could unilaterally interfere with interstate commerce in this fashion. But where there’s a will on the left, there’s a
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz filed disclosures reporting she and her children bought stock in a technology company but waited months after the deadline to make the purchases public. Reports filed last week by the Broward/Miami-Dade County Democrat show four stock buys, on Oct. 13, in Westell Technologies Inc., which provides what the company calls
In a recent video, Rashida Tlaib tells her audience that “behind the curtain,” the forces who stop a “free Palestine” are the “same people” who exploit “regular Americans” for “their profit.” Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL, who’s done yeoman’s work wishing away the anti-Semitism being normalized on the progressive left, calls this a “dog whistle.”
The Hill seems willing to publish almost anything if it stinks of the eco-nuttiness of the hard left, even if it involves comparing the hyped-up threats of climate change to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The outlet published a bonkers op-ed headlined, “Climate change is a unifying threat — NATO should enact Article 5 to combat
My PJ Media colleague Lincoln Brown recently touched on Kamala Harris’s poor poll ratings and their potential impact on the 2022 midterm elections. Unfortunately for Harris, it’s not just one poll but multiple surveys that have her underwater. Currently, Harris’s RealClearPolitics average favorable rating is 45 percent and her unfavorable is 46 percent, which is
The ACLU fired shots on Twitter last month, claiming that the Second Amendment is “racist” alongside an article and podcast episode that posed the question “Do Black People Have the Right to Bear Arms?” Racism is foundational to the Second Amendment and its inclusion in the Bill of Rights.

The July arrest numbers at the southern border haven’t been released yet, but they must be pretty bad. I reach that conclusion because last week, the White House released not one, but two essentially meaningless immigration plans — one a “blueprint”, the other a “strategy”. None of it changes the administration’s open-ish border policies, except
While the broadcast networks like NBC decided to dedicate airtime to heaping glowing praise on woke U.S. Olympic athletes who thought the country was trying to kill them, Fox News Channel correspondent Bill Melugin was doing real journalism down on the U.S.-Mexico board. On Monday, he reported on the apprehension of the largest group of
It is increasingly difficult to listen to the ramblings of Dr. Fauci, the man I contemptuously call the Mendacious Midget. However, there is one thing he has been saying incessantly for over a year that makes no sense if you have taken even an introductory microbiology class. Fauci’s proclamations about the asymptomatic spread of COVID-19
A video captured two men trading blows along the aisle of a landed plane over allegedly a reclining seat on a landed American Airlines plane on Sunday. The flight from New Orleans to Austin arrived around 4:21 p.m. at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, but the two were not arrested after the incident, Austin Police told the
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) speaks with a reporter on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., June 25, 2020. (Al Drago/Reuters) South Carolina GOP senator Lindsey Graham announced today that he’s quarantining for ten days after being diagnosed with a mild case of COVID-19. Graham was one of the 67 senators who voted to open debate on
We need to clear some things up before they get any further out of hand, as the Dems insist on making this stuff every day’s front page. For starters, stop saying “Reichstag moment.” And when Grandpa Simpson and Kamala “Silent Shadow” Harris tottered into the White House, they became president. Between the two of them they’ll
LeBron James is facing major backlash on Twitter but it’s not for his radical leftist beliefs or encouragement of attacks on police. Instead, he is trending for shoving a fan at an Usher concert this weekend. James’s actions have caused a heated debate between avid supporters of the basketball player and those who think he
The problem with “push-back” against “dumb, irresponsible conservatives” is that sometimes we push back harder, as that master of “explainer” “journalism,” Matt Yglesias, is learning yet again. In a since-deleted tweet, the former Vox editor (now the proprietor of Slow Boring) posted his vision for imposing social control on his recalcitrant, or at least reluctant,
The COVID vaccines have been out for several months after rapid development through former President Donald Trump’s Operation WarpSpeed program. Millions of Americans have obtained the vaccines amid a lot of scrutiny over the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. The argument from the right has always been that the vaccine can be available, but
Dr. Michelle Chester from Northwell Health prepares to administer a Pfizer coronavirus disease vaccine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y., December 14, 2020.

The rise of the Delta variant and the reaction—or overreaction—is giving everyone a clear case of deja vu. It was all going according to plan. Putting aside the reality of an event that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, the dawn of Covid-19 did something President Barack Obama with his thumbs on the scales, the
Showtime’s The Chi officially jumped the shark this season with their ridiculous defunding the police storyline that saw community protection groups step in instead. Even worse, in “Raisin in the Sun,” the August 1 season 4 finale, they laughably declared the experiment a success, saying, “The people of Chicago don’t need policing. They need protection
Last month, Gallup released a poll showing that while a majority of U.S. adults have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in science, Republicans’ confidence in science has sharply declined over the past four decades, from 70 percent in 1975 to 45 percent in 2021. Democrats, however, have seen an increase in
