National Public Radio has a serious, red-hot loathing of Fox News. The latest demonstration was the February 5 episode of the very tilted weekly show On The Media, produced by WNYC-FM in New York and airing on more than 400 public radio stations across America. The episode was boldly titled “Slaying the Fox Monster.” We
The House impeachment managers had no problem blaming President Trump for the “armed, angry mob” that engaged in a “deadly” riot at the Capitol Building on January 6th. Among the dead that day was a woman shot in the neck by a Capitol Police officer while she tried to break in through a broken window.
Back in December, Deputy DA Jon Hatami was one of the first to publicly criticize his new boss, DA George Gascon. Now Hatami is filing a lawsuit against Gascon for defamation and racial discrimination: Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami, a Santa Clarita resident, alleged both Gascón and his spokesman, Max Szabo, published defamatory language about
From the beginning of history, religion has played a central role in the history of humanity. Religion has countless aspects, including rituals, ethics, social norms, and emotional impacts.

Outside a “vocational skills education center” in Dabancheng, Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, China, September 4, 2018 (Thomas Peter/Reuters) The Economist’s argument against describing the Chinese Communist Party’s mass atrocities as genocide demonstrates a superficial understanding of this crime, motivated, at least in part, by a desire to preserve engagement with a regime that should be
We know a lot more on February 12 than on January 6. First, it is clear that the assault on the Capitol has become the most damaging event of Donald Trump’s political career. Combined with forfeiting the Senate in the January run-off elections, the lethal storming of the federal legislature by Trump’s most unscrupulous and
Last night Don Lemon doubled down on his hateful rhetoric about Trump voters and anyone who aligns themselves with the Republican party. After maliciously smearing millions of Americans of being on the same side as the KKK and Nazis, Lemon falsely claimed Thursday night that Republicans “condoned what happened at the Capitol” and were the same
Her majesty Hillary Clinton, perhaps still bitter about some election or something, is working overtime to demonize the entire Republican Party. This week, she claimed that if the Senate fails to convict and remove former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, it will only be because Senate Republicans are also guilty of the crime
“This is an incident of Nikki Haley breaking with Nikki Haley,” said House Dem James Clyburn about the quotes from Haley that are circulating this morning. “Just two or three weeks ago she was admonishing us to ‘leave the man alone,’ now she’s saying we shouldn’t have followed him.” But that’s not true. Clyburn has

(Andrew Kelly/Reuters) According to new reporting from the Daily Caller, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has been sitting on emails exchanged with Planned Parenthood officials about COVID-relief loans that the abortion provider illegally obtained last spring. The emails were released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request and were heavily redacted, but one
Liberal media outlets aren’t satisfied with merely seeking to disqualify Donald Trump from future influence over national affairs. They are seeking to judge and punish all of conservative media as responsible for the Capitol riot. In Thursday’s New York Times, their columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote a piece asking “Can We Put Fox News on Trial
A top aide to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo “privately apologized to state Democratic leaders for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19,” reports the New York Post. Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor, told them “‘we froze’ out of fear the true numbers would ‘be used against us’ by federal prosecutors.” Last month
Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana is the latest Republican to feel the wrath of the Republican Party in his own state. The Republican Party of East Baton Rouge Parish voted to censure the senator Wednesday. The censure was unanimously adopted. Just in case word of the censure didn’t circulate among Louisiana politicians and the media,
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration withheld the true number of nursing home deaths from COVID-19 out of fear that federal prosecutors would use the numbers against the state, according to a report Thursday from the New York Post. A top Cuomo aid, Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa, made the admission during a video
The latest round of controversy at the New York Times followed the insane firing of reporter Donald McNeil Jr. for repeating the n-word in a conversation about other people using it. The Times initially defended the ridiculous argument that “we do not tolerate racist language regardless of intent,” a standard that is so completely divorced
When I was in high school and George W. Bush was president, the fear in progressive circles was that a Christian “fundamentalist” had hijacked the nation. Bush did what polite society never would, which was to speak of faith openly in public without irony or qualification. America, liberals feared, would be turned into a theocracy;
Usually people have to wait until Monday to hear the latest Bachelor tea … but today brings a bonus scene. Contestant Rachel Kirkconnell’s recent racism controversy erupted online but what got even more attention was the defense she got from Bachelor host Chris Harrison in a recent interview. Essentially fans claimed Kirkconnell, a frontrunner on
On Wednesday night, Disney announced that the company had cut ties with Mandalorian actress Gina Carano following outrage over her Instagram post comparing cancel culture to the Holocaust. Yet Pedro Pascal, the lead actor in The Mandalorian, also made an offensive and politically-charged Holocaust comparison, and it seems Disney has not taken any action in his case.
Marc A. Thiessen offered an interesting take in the Washington Post today. It starts from the evidence Democrats themselves have been presenting about the efforts of the Capitol Police to keep Members of Congress safe on January 6, often at the expense of their own well-being. Just yesterday, Democratic impeachment managers showed video of Officer
The Biden administration has embarked on an all-encompassing drive to banish any wording that may reflect negatively on illegal aliens from official U.S. government use. A much larger agenda appears to be at work here, and the “no human being is illegal” party line that Joe Biden is embedding into federal agencies works to further
Two years ago today, I finally filed my draft for my book A Year with the Mystics: Visionary Wisdom for Daily Living. You might consider it if you are looking for Lenten reading or a gift for Easter/Confirmation/Mother’s Day/Father’s Day/birthdays/any day. For some peace of mind and soul and inspiration and spiritual challenge and direction.
CBS This Morning co-hosts on Thursday seemed baffled at the controversy enveloping the Dallas Mavericks as the basketball team first canceled playing the national anthem and then was forced to reinstate it by the NBA. Co-host Gayle King marveled, “I appreciate the efforts to try to raise the conversation and see bring awareness to what many
Gina Carano’s career is over at Disney. If you’re a pedophile you have a better chance of working for Disney than if you’ve ever indicated publicly that you might be conservative. That’s not an overstatement. Disney literally employs convicted pedophiles right now who are working on kids’ shows. The film An Open Secret detailed many
The Biden administration is considering a requirement that domestic air passengers produce a negative COVID-19 test result before boarding a flight. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg have given comments this week that indicate this idea is under evaluation. Walensky spoke during a press briefing Monday. She encouraged state leaders and local
Twitter CFO Ned Segal announced on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump would remain banned from his company’s platform even if he was reelected in the future.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has finally recognized that the masks they’ve had everyone wearing for the better part of a year are largely ineffective because aerosols easily go around the top and sides.

As anyone who has passed a high school civics class knows, the impeachment process is not a legal proceeding but a political one. Luckily, CNN host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo knew at least that much. But he spent a lot of Wednesday’s Prime Time decrying Senate Republicans for not being impartial jurors in President Trump’s second
