Column: How Dare Anyone Question Wokeness at the Smithsonian Museums?

August 15th, 2025 6:00 AM

The central strategy of media bias is defining your terms.

Time Magazine Publishes Obama-esque Puffball Piece on Radical Mamdani

August 14th, 2025 3:27 PM

On Thursday morning, Time magazine released its latest cover dated September 8 with the lead story “The Meaning of Zohran Mamdani.” Predictably, the story by Mark Chiusano was as mind-numbingly stupid and weak-kneed as a profile of Barack Obama in the mid-2000s.
