On Monday’s New Day program on CNN, as the show discussed and showed sympathy for one of its guests who recently received racist hate mail online, there was a conspicuous absence of detail about who sent the offensive mail and even what political issue it involved. Toward the end of a segment that included Washington Post
Iran has escalated its coercive pressure campaign on the Biden administration on two major fronts—the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program and terrorist attacks by Iranian proxies. On the nuclear front, Iran steadily has ratcheted up uranium enrichment to exceed the quantitative and qualitative limits set by the flawed 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which the U.S.
With apologies to John Kander and Fred Erb, the composer and lyricist respectively of Sinatra’s classic, New York, New York.

(mj0007/Getty Images) 1857—Chief Justice Taney’s ruling in Dred Scott marks the Supreme Court’s first use of the modern liberal judicial activist’s favorite tool—“substantive due process”—to invalidate a statute. In striking down the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which prohibited slavery in the northern portion of the Louisiana Territories, Taney nakedly asserts: “[A]n act of Congress which

Joe Biden’s $1.9trn (£1.4trn) COVID-19 relief plan has been passed by the Senate in a party-line vote after an all-night session. The final bill includes $400bn (£289bn) in one-time payments of $1,400 (£1,000) to most Americans, $300 (£217) a week in extended jobless benefits for the 9.5 million people made unemployed, and $350bn (£253bn) in
Well, well, well. Talk about a coverup. Recall this story, as headlined in BizPacReview? Pelosi appoints Swalwell to Homeland Security Committee again, despite recent Chinese spy scandal The story begins thusly, with bold print supplied for emphasis: “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reappointed her California Democratic colleague, Rep. Eric Swalwell, to the Homeland Security Committee despite revelations
Pope Francis went to Iraq today and met with Iraq’s principal Shi’ite leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, and, according to the Associated Press, “delivered a powerful message of peaceful coexistence Saturday, urging Muslims in the war-weary Arab nation to embrace Iraq’s long-beleaguered Christian minority during an historic meeting in the holy city of Najaf.” That’s
Last June, in the wake of the nationwide protests and riots over the death of George Floyd, Portland’s Mayor Ted Wheeler and Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty pushed a plan that cut $7 million from the Portland Police Budget and got rid of a group of officers called the Gun Violence Reduction Team. Hardesty, who had
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his top lieutenants cited a report altered by his top aides to make it seem like they were handling the COVID-19 outbreak in nursing homes better than other states. A New York State Department of Health report published in early July disclosed 6,432 COVID-19 deaths at nursing homes, despite

Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) was sharply criticized by Democrats on Friday for voting against a proposal to include a minimum wage hike in the latest coronavirus-related economic relief package. Sinema was one of eight Senate Democrats who opposed the effort. In response to critics, Sinema used Democrats’ own standards against them. What did critics
One second, two NYPD officers were assisting an domestic violence victim, the next second, a hail of gunfire was sprayed at them as the alleged abusive husband ambushed them. The New York Police Department released graphic bodycam video of the deadly shootout at 12:45 p.m. on Nov. 24 between cops and Rondell Goppy in Queens,
Citing the usual (liberal) curiosity of their readers, Dan McGuill of Snopes picked on a recent Franklin Graham letter on the so-called “Equality Act” and how it infringes on the independence of churches, now defined as “public accommodations” like a restaurant or hotel. McGuill ruled Graham’s letter was a “Mixture” of truth and falsehoods. Here’s
The so-called “mainstream” media, including CNN, is apoplectic over former Vice President Mike Pence’s recent commentary in The Daily Signal in which he says that “election integrity is a national imperative.” Apparently, they disagree, and don’t like that he points out the serious problems with HR 1, which just passed the House of Representatives, that
Roger Stone was on with Steve Malzberg at RT America this past week at “Eat the Press”. Stone discussed how the media and the justice system are trying to pin him to the Capitol riots when he wasn’t even there. Roger Stone joined Steve Malzberg at his ‘Eat the Press’ show this week and he

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan rejected an initial allotment of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine this week, according to the Michigan state health department.

Anti-virus software creator John McAfee has been charged in the US with conspiracy to commit fraud and money-laundering. The charges relate to two cryptocurrency schemes, the US Justice Department said on Friday. Authorities said McAfee and his bodyguard, Jimmy Gale Watson Jr, exploited McAfee’s large Twitter following to artificially inflate prices of “altcoins” through a
Brian Williams appears to be one of those people who doesn’t listen to himself when he talks. How else to describe the reasons behind why the truth-challenged journalist says the things he does? Yes, it’s time for another NewsBusters FLASHBACK: It was eight years ago this week that Williams appeared on Alec Baldwin’s then radio
The Senate has passed a coronavirus relief bill that will cost $1.9 billion. The party-line vote was 50-49. Republican Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska had to rush home to attend the funeral of his father-in-law. His absence meant that Vice President Kamala Harris did not have to cast her tie-breaking vote as president pro tempore.
After what’s being described as a 26-hour “marathon” session, the Senate managed to drag the massive, nearly two trillion dollar COVID relief bill across the finish line. That fact that huge parts of it had little or nothing to do with pandemic relief didn’t appear to bother the Democrats in the upper chamber one bit.
Recently released data about jobs, retail sales, and industrial production indicate that not only is more stimulus not needed but any more stimulus will be counterproductive and will cause more severe problems in the future. That’s probably not enough to stop Congress from passing another multi-trillion-dollar package. When the steep but very short-lived recession in March

A large crowd of Trump supporters marched
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, one of the high court’s liberal justices, was forced to revise a recent dissenting court opinion that he wrote because he omitted “respect.” What is the background? The Supreme Court issued a 7-2 ruling in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service v. Sierra Club on Thursday, determining that the Environmental Protection
The media’s coverage of Covington Catholic students’ 2019 trip to D.C. may be the worst journalism scandal in recent memory. Reporters pounced on a preferred narrative, slamming the high schoolers instead of waiting for more facts to emerge. In the process they let loose the social media mob, forcing students to flee their homes and
Unity is not just an empty slogan; it truly is something all Americans should be striving to achieve. Many Americans still share virtues, such as attachment to hard work and devotion to principles such as equality, around which a president can create national harmony. We can’t achieve unity, however, by refusing to deal squarely with
Texas State Rep. Bryan Slayton (R) has introduced a bill to finish the border wall in Texas. We all know Biden has opened the flood gates at our border.
