Wall Street Journal

An essay appeared recently in The Wall Street Journal under the headline “What Happens When a Whole Generation Never Grows Up?”Behavior that has always been understood to define what it means to be an adult is disappearing among America’s younger generations. Institutions always seen as the sinews that define and hold together a society — homeownership, marriage, children — no longer…

As the Trace Adkins song goes, you’re going to miss this, you’re going to want this back. Deep down, that’s surely the way at least some feel about the bizarre, entertaining, meandering, only occasionally informative, and stammering White House press briefings in 2024 under Karine Jean-Pierre. With part one having covered 10 moments from January to May, this blog contains the second 10…

Filmmaker Adam McKay -- best known for making films like Anchorman with Will Ferrell -- comes unglued on Twitter, suggesting the movie musical "Wicked" is all about radicalization and fascism, so "If America keeps going on the track it is I wouldn’t be surprised to see the movie banned in 3-5 years." Which movies were banned under Trump in the first term?

CNN keeps stamping on their sour grapes over the Trump victory. In a CNN This Morning segment on corporate donations to the Trump inauguration, host Danny Freeman touted how The Wall Street Journal  "identified at least 11 companies and trade associations who are backing the inauguration, despite once saying they would not donate to him after the January 6th…

Even after The Wall Street Journal reported how Joe Biden’s staff hid his cognitive decline, there wasn’t a single question at the White House briefing. Hugh Hewitt upset knee-jerk defenders of the media when he said “with the exception of Peter Doocy, I would ban everyone from the White House press room who has been there for the past four years, because they are obviously of no use…

Now that the coast is (largely) clear, the liberal media and their Biden administration sources have increasingly come out of the woodwork to sound off on the President’s reportedly paper-thin mental fitness to have fully served the last four years. With 50 sources, Thursday’s Wall Street Journal item was devastating, but of no concern to ABC, CBS, and NBC on their flagship newscasts…

Thursday’s White House press briefing featured longtime Democratic national security flack John Kirby for what’ll likely be one of his final times at the podium and he had quite the task to insist the Biden administration rejects that a hostile foreign actor or UFOs are behind the drones harassing residents in New Jersey, New York, and now surrounding states, but they still have no clue who’s…

Joe Scarborough goes on a 20-plus-minute rant. He defends Mika for having said of David Frum's comment about Pete Hegseth, “If you’re too drunk for Fox News, you’re very, very drunk indeed,” that it was "a little too flippant for the moment we're in." Frum wrote a column in response accusing Joe and Mika of being "fearful." Scarborough also defended the decision he and Mika made to travel to…

Late Tuesday, word leaked out from The Wall Street Journal before spreading elsewhere and made official Wednesday morning that Comcast will be spinning off failing, far-left cable network MSNBC, along with CNBC and five other channels to become its own, publicly traded company. That said, it’s not a full break from television as Comcast will keep NBC, the cable network Bravo!, and the…

On Morning Joe, Jon Meacham says that in their hearts, traditional Republicans know that their support of Trump is wrong. Meacham also says that, looking to Washington's Farewell Address for guidance on the central thesis of the American Republic, people can ignore the central role that Washington placed on religion.

So. There is no less than Hillary Clinton - one time United States Senator, Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee - out there in a tiny handful of media stories that are running headlines like this:

On CNN This Morning, Annie Linskey, speaking of the assassination attempts on Donald Trump, says "We don't know the motives. We just don't." The motives of the second suspect were very clear: a strong animus toward Trump, and the desire to see him "gone." Host Kasie Hunt blames Trump for the attempts on his life, saying, "It is impossible to pull apart what we have seen from Donald Trump, the…

President Biden says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing enough to win the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza by the terrorist group Hamas. As the saying goes “with friends like these, who needs enemies?” In his first statement since the recovery of six hostages murdered by Hamas, including American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Netanyahu refused all entreaties…

Was that David Plouffe? Brian Fallon? Maybe the Second Gentleman himself? Surely no one from outside the inner circle of Kamala Harris' campaign would have the chutzpah to use the term "soaring rhetoric" to describe Kamala Harris' pedestrian-at-best performance during her CNN interview last night! But no! It was actually Jeremy Peters, an MSNBC contributor and New York Times "reporter…
