President Obama bragged in early March that the economy is "pretty darned good now."
Today, the first of those two pillars got pulled.…

Hannity destruye paso a paso la credibilidad de Jorge Ramos
Latino
Si se le oye contar el cuento a Jorge Ramos, parecería que desde que inició su campaña por la presidencia en junio del 2015 Donald Trump no ha hecho otra cosa que condenar constantemente en general a los inmigrantes mexicanos que entran ilegalmente a Estados Unidos como “criminales, violadores y traficantes de drogas”.

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's Reliable Sources on CNN, Daily Beast editor-in-chief and CNN political commentator John Avlon painted Fox News and the conservative media as "appeasing the crocodile" of Donald Trump "hoping that it eats you last" as he also blamed Trump's rise on Republicans chasing moderate "RINOs" out of the party.
Blogger: Conservatives Clueless About Obama’s ‘What Works’ Comment
Conservatives have objected in droves to a remark President Obama made this past week during his visit to Argentina.

On Sunday’s This Week, Georgetown University professor and ex-MSNBC regular Michael Eric Dyson spewed a nearly-incomprehensible gumbo of academic jargon and made-up words. He claimed “millions” of Republicans “conceded to the legitimacy” of Trump’s birther claims against President Obama, vs. “some” who “stood on the gap,” and he juxtaposed Trump’s foreign policy “unsagacity” (good luck finding…
Team Hillary Still Pushing Comedy Central Show's Gush Over Her
Hillary Clinton’s Twitter account The Briefing 2016 is still milking the Comedy Central episode of Broad City that promoted her as a twinkly, winking political rock star. “What was it like to be on set with @HillaryClinton? Broad City's director tells all.”
Molly Eichel at Philly.com promoted Philadelphia native and director Todd Biermann, who explain how he and Amy Poehler loved every minute of…
Ugly Trumpkins Smear Conservative CNN Pundit Amanda Carpenter
The media quite routinely circulate Donald Trump tweets that they find offensive or at least controversial, even by now they suspect nothing outrageous ever dents the Trump magic among his followers.

AP, USA Today Fail to Report Size of Sanders' Saturday Wins
When was the last time a badly trailing presidential candidate in either major party won relatively late-in-the-game contests by lopsided victory margins of greater than 70-30, as Bernie Sanders did in Washington today, and greater than 80-20, as Sanders did in Alaska? I'm virtually certain that the answer to that question, regardless of what happens in Hawaii's Democratic primary much later…

On Saturday, all three broadcast morning news shows talked about the National Enquirer allegations against GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz, allegations for which there is still no on-the-record source or any other supporting evidence.

PBS's David Brooks: 'I'd Forgotten How Ugly Ted Cruz Could Be'
The latest edition of PBS NewsHour's regular "Shields and Brooks" segment not only featured both analysts slamming GOP presidential candidate and Texas Senator Ted Cruz from the left over terrorism, but the liberal Shields actually admonished President Barack Obama for his reaction to the Brussels terrorist attacks while faux-conservative Brooks wholeheartedly defended Obama's behavior in Cuba.…

Please! Pretty please! Just say them. ...Despite the pleas of Bill Maher on HBO's Real Time last night, Senator Corey Booker of New Jersey declined to utter the words that seem so taboo for the Democrats. Bill Maher knows, as you can see in the video below,…

Sally Field Gushes Over ‘Miraculous,’ ‘Brilliant’ Hillary Clinton
Actress Sally Field likes Hillary Clinton. She really, really likes her. Talking to Time magazine for the March 21 issue, she gushed, “I think it’s miraculous that she is female, and it’s almost secondary to the fact that she’s way qualified, would be a brilliant President.”

MSNBC's Reid: 'Absolutely False' Planned Parenthood Sold Baby Parts
No one can in good faith dispute that Planned Parenthood sold baby body parts. It has been carefully documented. And there's that video of a Planned Parenthood official fantasizing about buying a Lamborghini with the proceeds. The capper is that PP President Cecile Richards announced not long ago that PP would no longer take money for body parts. As Michelle Malkin marvelously put it in her …
