If only we’d been able to see sooner that the disease wasn’t the hoax, the response was. How do we even know now? Pigs are flying everywhere. The media are fessing up. After fanning COVID panic for a year, Democratic newsletter Salon admits it was all for partisan purposes: “Americans have been sucked into an

Like so many of his colleagues, NBC’s Chuck Todd continues to offer a platform for the lie that Georgia’s election security bill is a racist tool meant to disenfranchise nonwhite voters. On this week’s Meet The Press, Todd led a panel discussion about that new law, in which PBS NewsHour correspondent Yamiche Alcindor compared its
An update to last week’s post about case counts declining in the Lone Star state. Not only have cases continued to fall in Texas since then, the seven-day average is now the lowest it’s been since June 18, 2020 according to Worldometer. Yesterday the state was averaging just 3,263 daily confirmed infections. On March 10,
There is very little good news here lately. After all, the majority of us fall into the key demographics of conservative or Christian. By public perception, those two very demographics make us racist, bigoted, xenophobic, homophobic, white supremacist, and about a dozen other things that we have heard from those on the alternative side of
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris deliver remarks during a stop at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 2021.

Joseph Wulfsohn at Fox News reports CBS News decided on Saturday to delete a tweet for sounding way too partisan. On Friday, CBS tweeted out a report by Khristopher Brooks headlined “3 ways companies can help fight Georgia’s restrictive new voting law.” Conservatives on Twitter mocked the tweet. “I missed the announcement that CBS is
Have you ever had one of those moments when it seems as if you’ve slipped through some sort of dimensional doorway into an alternate reality, as happened in some of the original episodes of the Twilight Zone? Reading some of the liberal editorials making the rounds these days can produce a similar effect. That’s what

Something from me: After a year of fear, are we ready for the promise of Easter? 1. Every season has magnificent hymnody, but the hymnody of Passiontide stands apart from the rest. It just guts you. “Who was the guilty?Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason,Jesus, hath undone thee! ‘Twas I, Lord Jesus,I it
Western culture looked radically different seven years ago, but it still gave us a preview at what was heading our way. Woke warriors willing to take down anyone for any reason. Cancel Culture remained years away, but special interest groups were looking for offenses both large and microscopic back in 2014. Enter Stephen Colbert. The far-left
A Good Friday Reflection It’s a bit of a departure for the Kabana podcast today. Please indulge me, dear listeners. We are now in the midst of what many Christian traditions refer to as the Easter Triduum. Here is a brief explanation: The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of
May all of our readers have a happy and blessed Easter celebration today, as we begin to see light at the end of a tunnel that we started entering about this time last year. We would also like to wish our Jewish readers a belated Passover greeting, as this year both events take place close
Major League Baseball renewed a licensing contract earlier this week with a Chinese media company that has targeted an NBA executive over his support human rights and democracy activists in Hong Kong.

The New York Times building in New York City, August 3, 2020. (Shannon Stapleton/Reuters) Michelle Goldberg, the New York Times columnist, can be thought-provoking. Take the following as an example: If Matt Gaetz was a Democrat he’d have to resign immediately, but the Republican who pulled a gun on his wife and pressured his mistress
In the wake of Rush Limbaugh’s passing and some not inconsiderable attention to Rush’s role in the rise of conservative media (talk radio, Fox, Newsmax, OAN etc etc), it is worth taking note of NBC anchor Lester Holt’s recent talk on being awarded a lifetime achievement award. So here is the headline from NewsBusters’s Kyle
While Hollywood is undeniably liberal, every now and then it produces a movie that defies the trend of movies pushing left-wing propaganda. There are lots of lists of conservative movies out there based on a wide range of criteria. It’s easy to point to a Christian film, like God’s Not Dead, or an anti-abortion movie
Is it time to cancel Ken Burns at PBS? It’s not easy being a white, male, cisgender filmmaker these days over at the taxpayer-funded public television network. Burns has achieved immense success for his documentaries made for PBS and has been generously rewarded for his work there. A group of nearly 140 filmmakers and other
The CEOs of Coke and Delta, both home-based in Georgia, came out Wednesday with strong comments as to why the newly signed Georgia Voting Law was wrong for Georgia and wrong for their companies and employees. James Quincey of The Coca-Cola Company and Ed Bastian of Delta Air Lines will regret they ever chimed in
(Jonathan Ernst, Mark Makela/Reuters) Yesterday, while writing about President Biden’s late-coming conversation with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, a thought occurred to me: Had Biden been ducking the man responsible for handing him the White House? I suppose that the answer is technically “no” — that distinction belongs to Donald Trump — but I think we might
Reporters? Or unpaid publicists? On her Thursday show, MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson was joined by NBC reporter Blayne Alexander in Atlanta just publicizing calls to boycott Georgia and the lies that justify them, including President Biden’s Wednesday remarks where he outrageously called the Georgia’s new election law ”Jim Crow on steroids.” MSNBC just casually put that on screen, like it
Dr. Leana Wen gave CCN viewers insight last night into why the Left has been demonizing Republicans’ steps back toward freedom amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The corporate media savaged Georgia Governor Brian Kemp when he opened the economy at the end of May 2020. President Joe Biden called governors in Texas and Mississippi “Neanderthals” for
A free speech case involving children and public schools is going to be going before the Supreme Court. This case, out of Mahonoy, Pennsylvania, has been rattling around in the courts for nearly four years now and it could set a new precedent in terms of how restrictive public schools are allowed to be when
A French artist shrieked when he realized a shark was swimming below him in the Maldives, according to a video from Jam Press shared by the New York Post Friday.

President Joe Biden speaks in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, D.C., March 2, 2021. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) Conservative lawmakers are concerned that the Biden administration is failing to address China’s evasion of U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil and, worse, that officials could deliberately be turning a blind eye to the violations
On Thursday, National Review posted a blog by Zachary Evans headlined “NBC’s Lester Holt Urges Journalists to Ditch Objectivity: ‘Fairness Is Overrated.’” This offended the “independent fact-checkers” at Snopes.com, who flagged the headline — not the article — as “False.” Once again, they’re complaining about a lack of context. They’re arguing about spin. Jordan Liles labeled
Full disclosure: Sometimes, reporting the news terrifies me and makes me despair for my country. When I saw that Coca Cola, Delta, and Major League Baseball repeated the Left’s false smears against the Georgia election integrity law, I couldn’t believe it. Now, the MLB has pulled the all-star game out of Atlanta — all because
Senator Ted Cruz and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are at it again. The two lawmakers are battling on social media over the crisis on the border and immigration reform.

Since Ronald Reagan’s defeat of Jimmy Carter in 1980, evangelical Protestants have been a seemingly solid segment within American conservatism. “Seemingly” is important, because conservatives often scratch their heads at evangelical habits of mind. Some of the pundits who have had the biggest platforms during the Trump years, for instance, are Michael Gerson, Peter Wehner,
