Unreal. Florida has passed a “Parental Rights in Education bill” - and the Disney corporation, which of course has Disney World in Orlando, is livid. The left has, all too predictably, nicknamed the bill the “Don’t Say Gay” legislation.

Latest stunt to bring audiences back ignores bigger problems plaguing show. The Oscars stepped on yet another rake en route to its annual broadcast. Late last month, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced it will pre-record select awards prior to the show and include an abbreviated version of them in the broadcast. Why? The show is three-plus hours long, and this will help…

Oh, for the good old days of the Soviet Union. America’s foreign policy and goals were clear then: containment and opposition to communist expansion. Nuclear weapons were a deterrent, but neither side believed the other would use them. Russian President Vladimir Putin has changed the game by threatening to use nukes should the U.S. directly confront his forces now raping Ukraine and committing…

When a president’s poll numbers are tanking, as the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll shows they are for President Biden — 37 percent approval — he needed to do something spectacular, even radical, to keep him from sinking further. Unfortunately for Biden and his party, he did nothing that is likely to stem his free fall. Washington Post columnist Henry Olson said…

Without question,  the free press in America is under assault. In his recent speech at CPAC, former President Trump felt compelled to speak up for One America News. Why? The Associated Press has headlined this: "DirecTV drops Trump-friendly One America News." And then there is the targeting of Newsmax, another pro-Trump conservative TV outlet. Atlantic Broadband, now called Breezeline, has…

A group of urban liberals come face to face with some awkward pandemic truths. Saturday Night Live too often produces propaganda, not satire. The show’s overtly liberal bent has shattered a legacy of mocking the powerful, regardless of party affiliation. For one night, though, the show’s propaganda gave way to something new. You could call it comic therapy. A Feb. 26 sketch featured…

By now you may have forgotten President Joe Biden gave his State of the Union address last week. On Monday, Biden walked across the White House lawn alone and in a mask. On Tuesday, he walked into a crowd of House members rejoicing that no more masks were needed. It was the perfect metaphor for Biden at governance and Biden at speech. First, forgive Biden for his flubs and twisted words. He is…

Washington — I hate Russian President Vladimir Putin! I would put him in a category with Fidel Castro, Adolf Hitler, and his countryman, J.V. Stalin. It took Castro, Hitler and Stalin years to achieve their distinction, at least with me. KGB Col. Putin moved more rapidly, but now he has arrived. He is a full-blooded tyrant. People throw the term “hate” around very cavalierly, at least in…

As often happens among the political class in Washington, we met on television debating each other. I liked him immediately, despite our political and even religious differences. Bob Beckel and I became friends and eventually more than friends. Twenty years ago, after debating a long-forgotten subject on Fox News Channel, we came back to the green room where I noticed a streak of sadness in…

The term “gerrymander” derives from Elbridge Gerry, a Founding Father and vice president who, as governor of Massachusetts, approved an oddly drawn state senate district to benefit his Democratic-Republican Party over the Federalist Party. Both parties do it. Both parties complain when the other party does it to them. Consider recent GOP “gerrymandering” efforts. Former President Barack Obama…

The American Medical Association now tells doctors: Use woke language! It's issued a 54-page guide telling doctors things like, don't say “equality”; say “equity.” Don't say “minority”; say “historically marginalized.” Much of the AMA's advisory sounds like Marxism: “Expose ... property rights ... Individualism is problematic ... Corporations ... limit prospects for good health ... people…

Over there in The Washington Free Beacon was an astute analysis by Drew Holden that reminds just how in the tank the liberal media is for all things Left. was an astute analysis by Drew Holden that reminds just how in the tank the liberal media is for all things Left.

The unlikely duo, joined by Morgan Wallen and Joe Rogan, offers ray of hope. Netflix has a well-earned reputation as one of Hollywood’s most liberal platforms. The streaming giant serves up an array of left-leaning content. So when Netflix stood by Dave Chappelle when the woke mob attacked him for “transphobic” jokes in his last special, The Closer, it took cultural observers by…

It is usually Republicans who blast the media for what they consider biased or unfair coverage of their policies, but increasingly we are hearing Democrats engaging in the same behavior, apparently frustrated their agenda is not being embraced by some of their fellow Democrats and the public. Last week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who has yet to stem rising crime as he promised to do,…
