Eddie Murphy has said he is “very moved” to have been inducted into the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame, at the organisation’s show in honour of works by entertainers and athletes of colour. The actor and comedian, 59, was presented the award by his long-time friend and Coming 2 America co-star Arsenio Hall. Murphy
No one laughs in the liberal bubble when the Biden press team congratulates each other as the perpetual presenters of truth. The current press secretary transferred from CNN and her deputy came in from MSNBC, so they’ve been touting themselves as Team Truth throughout the Trump years. On Saturday’s The Cross Connection, deputy White House
Next week, the current moratorium on evictions enacted by the federal government is set to expire. It’s been more than a year since the policy went into effect, and public housing advocates are eager to see it extended yet again. Meanwhile, as we’ve discussed here in the past, many landlords, particularly the small business, mom
Recently, both Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that although the economy is forecast by them to grow 6.5% this year, more stimulus is needed. That means nearly $6 trillion of already-approved government stimulus is not enough. How much is enough? In 2009, the Obama administration signed an $800 billion stimulus package. That was,
(Andrew Kelly/Reuters) One amusing wrinkle in the debate over election rules is that Democratic states often have more restrictive voting rules than Republican states accused of voter suppression. Karl Rove had a good column about this the other day, and did a segment on Fox on the relatively restrictive rules in Delaware: .@KarlRove absolutely demolishes
Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced on Friday that the city of Baltimore would permanently suspend prosecution of prostitution, drug possession, minor traffic offenses, and other so-called “quality of life” crimes. Mosby had previously announced the policy as a temporary measure that was allegedly designed to slow the spread of COVID-19 among the city’s police
In a refrain that is by now becoming familiar to residents of the Peach State, liberals are threatening to continue their never-ending crusade to ruin the livelihoods of people who disagree with them politically against the entire state of Georgia. Their current campaign involves a threatened boycott against Georgia-based companies unless they act with sufficient
In the aftermath of the deadly mass shooting at a Colorado supermarket, some overheated leftists on Twitter insisted the suspect had to be a white guy. The surprise contestant in this ragefest was the “Diversity and Inclusion Editor” for USA Today Sports, Hemal Jhaveri. She tweeted: “It’s always an angry white man. Always.” We can’t be
Last week, former President George W. Bush said he’s not worried about the current moment in American politics because “these populist movements begin to fritter over time.” I don’t know Bush well personally, but I served in his administration for eight years. As a senior staffer to Vice President Dick Cheney, I was in numerous
Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to sign an executive order on gun control. Over the last year, because of the pandemic and the riots, millions of Americans have become first time gun owners. Gun control is not a popular issue, but it’s something the far left wants and Biden wants to give it to them.

On the hilly streets around his home in the Anza Vista neighbourhood of San Francisco, everyone knew Vicha Ratanapakdee as “grandpa”. The 84-year-old, who was originally from Thailand, was a friendly and familiar sight on his hour-long morning strolls. But on his walk on 28 January, as he turned the corner from Anza Vista Avenue
In case you’ve forgotten some of the knee-jerk responses to the Boulder shooting, let me remind you. Here’s a Deadspin editor bringing up a “white man with an AR-15” and a USA Today editor replying “It’s always an angry white man. Always.” (She was fired over that tweet.) “Activist, feminist, author” How she reacted when
On January 25, 2021, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced a bill in the Senate (S.40) intended to address the “injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery” in America. The bill establishes a commission to study slavery and to consider issuing a “national apology and proposal for reparations.” The intended beneficiaries of reparations are “living African
United Airlines airplane at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, N.J., June 18, 2011.

Progressives have made calls to “defund the police” and “abolish the police” in cities across the United States for months, including in Los Angeles. However, cities have been forced to provide additional funding for their police departments after violent crimes have spiked, including Los Angeles. In the first two months of 2021, Los Angeles Police
Dr. Anthony Fauci wants former President Donald Trump to tell his supporters to take the COVID-19 vaccine. It is true that a March 2021 NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found that 47% of Trump 2020 supporters said they would not get vaccinated. It is also true that Trump has urged Americans to take the vaccine. He called
The Justice Department in our federal government is fully corrupt. They set up and overcharged Trump supporters in the Russia collusion scam then made a concerted effort to ignore the multitude of criminal actions in the 2020 election. TNow they are overcharging Trump supporters caught at the US Capitol on January 6th. We’ve written about
(TebNad/Getty Images) Electricity is essential to modernity. Prosperity depends on it. So does longevity and health. If you doubt that, ask those in impoverished nations who still don’t have access to reliable electrical power! Indeed, if we could create a continental power grid in Africa — regardless of the means — it would ameliorate so
Boris Johnson has told Joe Biden that global vaccine access will be vital for beating COVID-19, as the leaders agreed combatting climate change will be a key part of “building back better from the pandemic”.

Smug isn’t a good look for most comedians. Funny people may point out our foibles, but they’re best at capturing an Everyman sensibility while doing so. Confessional comedy kills, like most of the jokes Jim Gaffigan tells. Even when comics target their audiences there’s a wink-wink acknowledgement in play. They’re just like us! Somehow Jimmy Kimmel forget that
This week on The Fringe I examine the problem of “secret” closed courts in the family court system. Who is watching what these judiciaries are doing if the press is kicked out of the courtroom? Why are judges allowed to treat their courtrooms like personal kingdoms? Just this week, other members of the media and
I missed this when it first aired a few weeks ago but I owe it to you now, as I’ve complained before about TV news not covering these reunions. Good work here by ABC to showcase the chief social benefit of the vaccine, especially knowing how reluctant the expert class is to encourage socializing under
Pieter Bruegel’s painting The Triumph of Death is a frightening work, a “Where’s Waldo” of the 14th-century apocalypse. Not easily mistaken for the triumph of humanity over death, this is Death’s triumph over humanity. An army of skeletons that mercilessly and indiscriminately scorch the earth, pollute and deforest the land, and corral, and slaughter the
Earth seen from the International Space Station, March 25, 2018. (Johnson Space Center/NASA) Last year, as we endured the vicissitudes of what I labeled “the Mountain Dew–fueled teenager running the reckless late-night Sim City play-through that 2020 occasionally seems to resemble,” I noted a fate-tempting study about the currently dormant Yellowstone supervolcano. The study reminded us that
The White House confirmed on Friday that President Joe Biden will sign executive orders on gun control. During Friday’s White House press conference, CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked, “Should we still be expecting executive orders from the President on gun measures?” White House press secretary Jen Psaki replied, “Yes,” and said there
The brother and sister-in-law of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn are suing CNN for $75 million over a report that the couple were believers of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
