The annual State of the Union address is every president's golden opportunity to talk all over live national television for an hour and then some. We're poised for what happens afterward. They have touted Biden speeches as "forceful and feisty" and they have trashed Trump speeches as "intensely partisan." Look in the mirror, people.

In the new eruption of leftist protest over anyone demanding Stephen Colbert provide "Equal Time" to their incessant tilt, we point out again that all the comedy shows tilt dramatically to the left, just like The View. Whoopi Goldberg felt pressed to address the NewsBusters scoop on her place in the Epstein files. 

Who is in the majority in Congress right now? If you watch TV news stories on congressional hearings, you're mostly given angry soundbites of yelling Democrats. Hearings featuring Trump officials were presented to make those officials look controversial, unpopular, and ineffective.   

The Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, fresh from trashing ICE at the Grammy Awards, organized a highly divisive Super Bowl spectacle that put his leftist Latino identity politics front and center. The ardent adoration it drew from leftists and Democrats underlined its political intent.

The Washington Post laid off 300 employees this week, transforming billionaire owner Jeff Bezos into a James Bond villain. Chuck Todd tweeted he was “leaning into the evil rich guy stereotype.” Owners must lose hundreds of millions of dollars for that “vital pillar of democracy” -- leftist media bias.

Journalists are rarely arrested, in part because the media elites freak out, since they apparently can never commit a crime if they're trying to interview people. Don Lemon can't be part of a mob violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, to which they added churches. Now if a journalist was part of a mob invading an abortion clinic, we all know the Left would freak out about…

Most Americans think the violence and hot rhetoric in Minnesota have gone too far, but the national media are mostly attacking the Republicans and ICE as if they're the only violent ones with the hot rhetoric. TV "news" stars get furious when you suggest Tim Walz or Jacob Frey or any other Democrat needs to tone down the wild Nazi talk. They don't want to calm it down.  

At a time when deportation is a dirty word and ICE is smeared as the Gestapo, perennially best-selling author Peter Schweizer offers a vivid counterpoint about defending American civilization in his new book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.

Across the dial on Sunday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was cued up for his message about leftist anti-ICE protesters. On ABC, Frey responded to a softball question: "It's about love. We are showing something far more powerful and consequential here, which is love. We are standing up for one another."

Several leftist movie stars lectured about the allegedly villainous law-enforcement activities of ICE on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards. They wore "Be Good" pins to mourn Renee Good and mourned of "terrorized" immigrants. Why should we care what they think?

Everyone can agree that Renee Good's shooting as she drove into an ICE agent was tragic. But the media and Democrats mangled the facts into Good was just a peaceful mom who was driving away from the villains in an exhibit of "classic de-escalation behavior." 

The network news can hardly notice the massive welfare fraud perpetrated by Somalis in Minnesota, and the media find nothing offensive about local Democrats telling ICE to 'get the f--k out of Minneapolis' and threatening to deploy the National Guard against ICE.

Submerged in all the coverage of the American military seizing Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife on Saturday was how well this dramatic mission went: the target was apprehended with zero American deaths. But the media spin was: this must be illegal, this must be headed for failure, this feels like American imperialism. 

What were President Trump’s “achievements” in 2025? The media use and abuse of this term is an important measurement of bias. Conservative wins don't get the A-word.  Achievements are programs like Obamacare, lauded as Obama’s “signature achievement.” It doesn’t matter if the Affordable Care Act ended up affordable. Capitalism is measured by its results. Socialism is measured by intentions.…
