Say what? The other day in a new episode of the January 6 Committee sham, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked Republican ally, Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, took it upon herself to violate the privacy of Fox hosts Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade by reading aloud their private texts to Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows from January 6.

Tom Holland anchors a sweet, superb sequel that honors the web-slinger...and us. You won’t find a better example of fan service done right than “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” It’s silly, smart and occasionally sublime.

In “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” Victor Hugo told the tale of Esmerelda, a gypsy dancer falsely accused of attempted murder, set to be hanged by an unjust state. Quasimodo, the titular hunchback, swings down from the cathedral of Notre Dame and saves her, carrying her off while crying “Sanctuary!” In fact, throughout European history, churches provided places of safe haven for accused…

COVID-19 deaths are up. Politicians tell us to wear masks and get vaccinated. Amid the fear, I'm surprised that we haven't heard more about two drugs that could make COVID-19 much less of a threat. In blind tests, Pfizer's Paxlovid was found to reduce the risk of hospitalization and death by 89%! It was so effective that Pfizer was advised to stop the tests. “They halted the clinical trials!”…

If Love means never having to say you’re sorry (it doesn’t), then being a member of the media means never having to admit you were wrong (it does). I wouldn’t write about the Jussie Smollett case and his conviction for lying about a hoax he perpetrated if it didn’t reflect something seriously wrong in the culture. Smollett was convicted in Chicago last week of faking an attack by a supposed…

Amazing. MSNBC’s Brian Williams departed his show, The 11th Hour, Thursday night for the last time, as noted here by NewsBusters own Curtis Houck. But earlier in the week, he was at the business of smearing the solidly conservative Newsmax Magazine with a blatant untruth.

A suicide just happened. Somewhere out there, maybe down the street or across town or in the next state, someone just took their own life. By the time you finish reading this, someone else will be in their final moments before taking their life. One hundred thirty-two times today, someone in the United States is going to commit suicide.

As the Supreme Court determines whether to preserve the Court-created “right to abortion” under Roe v. Wade, those on the feminist Left have gone into full-blown panic mode. Women's rights, they insist, will implode without granting women the ability to abort their children; only that ability can equalize the natural inequalities of biology, by which women are saddled with the burden…

People want “public” rather than “private.” Public is ... free, right? Wide open. Sharing. Available to everyone. All good things. “Private” is ... selfish, closed, for the rich. Clearly, public must be better. But then why do the words “public toilet” make me cringe? I think: dirty, smelly, ugly, maybe dangerous. Lots of people think that. I know because I watch tourists stare at the long…

As has been the case with so many other school shootings over several years, last week’s murder spree at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit might have been avoided if actions had been taken in the face of several obvious warning signs. Ethan Crumbley, 15, is charged with murdering four of his fellow students and wounding with intent to kill seven others. He has also been charged with…

Scratch a liberal and find an authoritarian. The latest evidence of this has come as the Mississippi abortion law reaches the Supreme Court. And right on cue, the lefty media types quickly stood up with anti-democracy rants.

A rambling Late Show host takes every side of the issue while denying reality. Stephen Colbert flirted with an early version of Cancel Culture back in 2014. Flash forward to 2021, and Colbert has a very different view of Cancel Culture. He jokes it doesn’t actually exist, for starters, ignoring the mountains of evidence to the contrary.

The death of composer Stephen Sondheim at 91 is more than the end of an era. It is the end of a chain of great Broadway musicals dating back to the 1920s when Jerome Kern’s “Showboat” first dazzled theater audiences. I met him only once. It was at Barbara Cook’s apartment in New York where she had invited a few friends following her performance of Sondheim songs at Carnegie Hall.

So the latest attempt to censor history and bully Americans into science has unfolded over there on the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal. The headline on one notable editorial? "Censoring the Pilgrims;
The left wants to cancel the WSJ’s annual Thanksgiving editorials." By chance, this episode with the WSJ comes on the heels of the horror at Waukesha,…
