Trade Ignorance and Demagoguery
When we discuss international trade and balance of payments, there are two types of accounts. There is the current account, which includes goods and services imported and exported and receives the most political attention. In 2016, the American people imported $479 billion worth of goods and services from Chinese producers, and we sold $170 billion worth of goods and services to Chinese customers…

Hostin Blames ‘White-Lash’ on ‘Most Qualified Candidate Ever' Losing
See if this makes any sense to you. America votes for a black man for President, two election cycles in a row. Along comes a former First Lady, secretary of state and senator, rife with scandals and baggage, who fails to win two presidential election cycles in a row (and just happens to be white). To the radical liberals on ABC’s The View, apparently that means she lost due to “racist” backlash…
Touchy CNN Refuses to Air Trump Ad That Puts 'FAKE NEWS' on Screen
Politico reports CNN refused to accept an ad from the Trump for President campaign unless they remove a “fake news” graphic over the faces of liberal media stars.
After listing several accomplishments, from Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch to approving the Keystone pipeline, the ad’s narrator charges “You wouldn’t know it from watching the news,” with the words FAKE NEWS over images of Andrea…

Clinton: We Must Defend ‘Morality’ of Abortion or Risk Handmaid’s Tale
Hillary Clinton is using her time in the spotlight again to make headlines, after coming “out of the woods” yesterday to continue stubbornly blaming everyone but herself for her election loss. She continued to make more ridiculous accusations last night at Planned Parenthood’s 100 year anniversary gala, where she was honored with the “Champion of the Century” award. Always trying to be relevant,…

NBC Calls Out Colbert for ‘Crude’ Anti-Trump Tirade
After CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert launched into and vicious and vulgar tantrum against President Trump Monday night, the broadcast networks were initially silent on the controversy swirling around the left-wing comedian. However, that silence was broken Wednesday morning when NBC’s Today actually provided a full report on the backlash against the “crude” tirade.

Maddow: Trump Loves Press but Like Hannibal Lecter 'Wants to Kill Us'
Comedy gets dark quickly on late night television lately, when you have a president that is so detested by the media. Last night on NBC’s Late Night, host Seth Meyers and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow “joked” that President Trump was just like fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, from the book and movie Silence of the Lambs. The pair laughed that Trump secretly wanted to “kill” the media, while…
NY Times Marks ‘Extraordinary’ May Day With Lefty Anti-Trumpers
Tuesday’s New York Times celebrated the Communist holiday May Day in its own predictable way, signing on to whatever the left was marching in outrage about this year. This time around the goals seemed a bit confused, beyond inchoate hatred for the elected president, but the paper enthusiastically played along with the “extraordinary” gatherings anyway: “On May Day, Marchers Fight for Myriad Goals…

Nets Skip High-Profile Firing at Louisiana Veterans Affairs Hospital
It was recently discovered by The Daily Caller that the Department of Veterans Affairs had fired the director of the VA hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana. According to them, the former director is Toby Mathew and he was terminated “’based on charges related to general misconduct, and failure to follow policy and provide effective oversight of the Center’s credentialing and privileging program.’”…
Bozell & Graham Column: Sudden Media Anger at Happy Talk to Dictators
Situational ethics define the liberal media. There is no pursuit of truth. There is only a double standard.
When Barack Obama bowed to dictators in Cuba and Iran, it was “historic” diplomacy. When Donald Trump talks up meeting with autocrats, that’s another dangerous and disgusting sign of his lack of respect for human rights.

ABC, CBS Hype Hillary's Election Blame Game, NBC Fails to Defend Holt
Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton came out swinging Tuesday in a Q&A with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. There, she shifted blame for her humiliating loss while merely claiming to take personal responsibility. The liberal Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were more than happy to aid in her endeavor. “Today Hillary Clinton gave her most candid assessment yet of why she believes…
NY Times Promotes Attack on Christians Who 'Shield' Bill O'Reilly
The New York Times war on Bill O’Reilly continues even after Fox News pulled his show. This was a rich angle in the op-ed section on Tuesday: “The Mistake Christians Made in Defending Bill O’Reilly.” In the paper, the headline was “Christians Who Shield O’Reilly.” The pull quote was “Evangelical leaders tend to resist taking sexual assault claims seriously.”

Bill Nye Episode Re-Release Deletes Male-Female Determination Segment
On Thursday, Julia Seymour at NewsBusters noted that in his new, ridiculously hyped Netflix series, so-called "Science Guy" Bill Nye "preached gender fluidity as 'forward thinking.'" In what can hardly be a coincidence, Daniel Payne at the Federalist.com reports that "someone cut from a re-release of the episode" a 76-second segment from Nye's original 1996 program on "Probability" explaining how…
Exploiting the Presidency
The headline in the March 5, 1929 edition of the Chicago Tribune read, "Plain Citizen Coolidge Shuts Desk and Quietly Goes Home." Calvin Coolidge would write a newspaper column from Northampton, Massachusetts, for which he presumably was paid a pittance, but other than that he refused to exploit his notoriety or accomplishments as president for money.

Matthews Swoons Warren's ‘Damn Good’ Speaking Skills Are 'Thrilling!'
On the same day that the media were back shining Hillary Clinton’s apples, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews spent Tuesday night carrying water for far-left darling and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), telling her that she possesses a “mastery” in her “thrilling” “speaking skills.”
