Supporting a leftist group that advocates defunding the police apparently wasn’t a red flag for liberal outlet Inside Philanthropy’s (IP) “Philanthropist of the Year” award.  At least, that’s the message that IP sent when they named Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’s liberal billionaire ex-wife MacKenzie Scott their 2020 philanthropy champion. IP praised Scott, stating that “[i]n her debut as

The World Health Organization is beginning an investigation into the scientific origins of the coronavirus. They’ve assembled a blue-ribbon panel of doctors, researchers, and scientists to get to the bottom of the mystery. As it turns out, investigative reporter Nicholson Baker did most of the work for them. Writing in New York Magazine, Baker reveals

Let me take you on an emotional journey that played out over the course of about 15 minutes on political Twitter this morning. First, shock and scandal: NEW: Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Senate president pro tempore, says he and not Vice President Mike Pence will preside over the certification of Electoral College votes,

The 117th Congress began on Sunday, but two candidates in New York’s 22nd congressional district are still waiting on hundreds of ballots that will likely determine the outcome of their race. Over 800 outstanding ballots have challenged by either Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi or his Republican challenger, Claudia Tenney, and began to be reviewed by

My new Bloomberg Opinion column. In January 2005, Senator Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, objected to counting Ohio’s electoral votes for President George W. Bush. It made Page A19 of the New York Times. It didn’t haunt her for the rest of her career. I didn’t remember her involvement myself, until the current Republican challenge to Joe Biden’s

Just last week I wrote about the strong possibility that the U.S. will set a new record for the increase in the murder rate this year. That seemed like pretty big news to me but I only saw it appear in a Twitter thread and in one story quoting the author of that thread. So

In a heated back and forth during a Monday press conference about Florida’s rollout of the coronavirus vaccines, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis was forced to put an obnoxious CNN correspondent in their place after they tried to filibuster and talk down to him. The liberal network actually took some time at the end of Erin

For Joe Biden, plagiarism has kind of been his thing. His first presidential campaign was doomed by allegations of plagiarism. Not one to learn from his mistakes, his platform, his COVID-19 response plan, and his DNC acceptance speech were all allegedly plagiarized. Suddenly, his selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate makes more sense.

Being clear-eyed about what the Trump presidency meant for life TOPSHOT – Pro-life demonstrators listen to US President Donald Trump as he speaks at the 47th annual “March for Life” in Washington, DC, on January 24, 2020. – Trump is the first US president to address in person the country’s biggest annual gathering of anti-abortion

The decision has been made – the 2020 Lie of the Year is coronavirus downplay and denial. Well, we knew it would either be the coronavirus or the presidential election, right? Those were the two big stories of 2020 and they both have carried into 2021. PolitiFact calls it an infodemic led by misinformation spread

‘Got Freedom?’, a 501(c)4 nonprofit election integrity watchdog group, conducted an exclusive national briefing today at the request of state legislators from Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to review the extensive evidence of irregularities and lawlessness in the 2020 presidential election.

The election is over, and Donald Trump’s presidency is set to expire on January 20, but the hyperbole surrounding the outcome continues. Respectable opinion has switched rather abruptly from alarm about the integrity of the election to thundering outrage at the president for disputing its integrity. These reckless, unfounded accusations, we are told, have undermined,

On Monday morning, Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean continued her unrelenting fight against Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), penning a lengthy, 3,500-word-plus FoxNews.com item recapping Cuomo’s arrogance, failure to lead, and refusal to admit wrongdoing with his reckless coronavirus nursing home order. Following an appearance on Fox & Friends, Dean revealed that an attempt to

Vice President Mike Pence was in Georgia on Monday campaigning for Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, during which supporters made it very clear they expect action to prevent the 2020 election from being stolen. During his speech, supporters chanted “Stop the steal! Stop the steal!” Pence addressed their chants. “I know we all have got

“It’s a sorry comment on the polling industry when the most relevant public data on the state of the January 5 Georgia Senate runoff elections may be the weather forecast,” notes our friend James Lucier of the political intelligence firm Capital Alpha. A forecast of sunny and warm for Election Day bodes well for Republican

It may be a new year, but Twitter is still up to the same old tricks. Twitter never took a holiday break when it came to labeling President Donald Trump’s tweets and the tweets of his campaign, @TeamTrump.

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) tested positive for COVID-19 less than a week ago, but traveled to Washington DC and voted on the House floor in the House speaker election.

Tom Devine, legal director of the Government Accountability Project, is hardly a household name, but his reputation is enormous (and hardly unblemished) in the circles where he operates. “He’s the face of the whistleblower movement,” Dr. James Murtagh said of Devine. Murtagh is a former professor for the Emory University Medical School, where he blew

[ad_1] Remember back during the early days of the pandemic, when massive hand sanitizer shortages gripped the nation, and distilleries stepped up to fill the void by manufacturing hand sanitizer? According to Reason, those distilleries are receiving a rude surprise to end the year: a letter from the FDA informing them that they owe over

[ad_1] New Mexico’s Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham fined two churches $10,000 apiece for violating the state’s social distancing requirements, and her communications director released a statement accompanying the fine implying that the pastors involved were “pro-virus,” according to a report from Daily Wire. The churches, Legacy Church and Cavalry Church, are described as “megachurches”

[ad_1] Jim speculated here on what Hawley objecting to the Biden electors will mean for his 2024 chances. Another question is what it will mean for the state of play next week. Perhaps Hawley ends up isolated and no one follows his lead, but it also may be that his move creates a jailbreak among

[ad_1] The results of the signature audit in Georgia are in — and it looks like there’s nothing there, despite the president’s insistence that this is where the massive fraud would be found (after hand and machine recounts had previously confirmed the results). The audit, as reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, focused on a statistically

[ad_1] When cities and states across America locked down to stop the spread of COVID-19, distilleries lost key moneymaking opportunities, from the loss of tourism to the closure of tasting rooms and cocktail bars, to the loss of in-store sampling. Despite these struggles, many distilleries decided to give back to the community by making hand

[ad_1] Even as businesses in New York — and specifically in Erie County — remain closed due to lockdown restrictions imposed by the administration of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), the governor has announced that he will allow a few thousand fans (of course including himself) to attend the Buffalo Bills’ first playoff game in 24
