What About the Abandoned? CBS Rips Biden Admin Spinning Afghan Crisis
With the final military planes off the tarmac and out of Afghan airspace, the Biden administration was desperate to try to paint their deadly disaster as some sort of success.

But it wasn’t. It was about President…

When I was in public school, a TV ad asked: “It’s 10 o’clock Do you know where your children are?” Here’s a better question for today: Do you know what your children are being taught and exposed to in their schools?” This summer’s controversy over the teaching of critical race theory and whether to wear masks is only part of the problem. When kids claim to be a different sex than what they…

CNN, NBC Press Biden Admin Officials on Giving Taliban a 'Kill List'

WashPost Reporter Hails Psaki For Melting Peter Doocy's Snowballs
You can tell just how perfectly The Washington Post fits into the White House publicity apparatus when it posts articles proclaiming that they have Fox News reporter Peter Doocy exactly where they want him. He is a "useful foil," reports Philip Bump, and he's easily foiled.
