Damning DeSantis and Polishing Up Biden
After President Joe Biden delivered his first address to Congress, liberal journalists polished-up his performance, praising him as a “non-threatening” “progressive.” They also pitied him as they whined COVID had robbed him of the usual “majesty and pomp” granted to past presidential addresses. The opposition to Biden was reviled. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was called a “modern-day George…

Condemning ‘Racist’ GOP for Bringing Back ‘Jim Crow’
For well over a month the media joined their allies in the Democratic Party in browbeating corporate America and the public into believing that an “immoral” and “racist” Republican Party has been waging a “holy war” to bring back “Jim Crow” laws to “torture” black Americans.
