Congress

A Senate committee held hearings on Wednesday featuring Dr. Anthony Fauci, who headed up America’s COVID response, only to see him plead his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times. National Public Radio science reporter Ari Daniel’s Thursday takeaway from Fauci’s embarrassing non-performance? “Anthony Fauci hearing could lead to ‘chilling effect’ for public health."

This week, the “Big Three” Networks and News Apps shielded fellow elitist liberal, Dr. Tony Fauci, largely ignoring bombshell revelations from his pandemic-era diaries released Saturday by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) before Wednesday’s Senate hearing and, following the proceedings, promulgating Fauci’s preferred framing of a “deep, partisan,” and “fiery” affair foisted upon him by Republicans.

On Thursday, the major broadcast networks used their flagship morning news shows to throw a pity party for one of the dearly beloved overlords, former public health official Dr. Tony Fauci, bemoaning the “deep, partisan divisions” illustrated in the behavior of Republicans in discussing the COVID-19 pandemic and “a sign of the times” someone like Fauci could be ridiculed.

Wednesday’s CBS Mornings spent seven minutes and 18 seconds previewing the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing by defending Dr. Tony Fauci on everything from closing schools to gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, to Fauci dwelling on his stardom in 2020. All the while, accountability or admission of even a modicum of mistakes from the pandemic were nowhere to be found.

Since Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released on Saturday nearly 2,000 pages of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diaries that delivered one bombshell after another about how he handled the coronavirus pandemic, ABC and NBC had yet to say a word on the leading morning or evening shows. However, that changed Wednesday morning with stories explaining away his behavior ahead of what became an explosive Senate…

Jonathan Chait sparked controversy by suggesting the U.S. Senate should be abolished, aligning with a Democratic Socialist view. Critics argue this idea undermines American federalism and ignores constitutional principles, calling it radical and unrealistic, as it would require broad state approval and threaten smaller states' power.

Tuesday’s I’ve Had It covered the death of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), so there were bountiful epithets from co-hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan about the “homicidal,” “demonic war hawk” “Lady Graham” having marked his final days in Ukraine gripping a drone what “looks like a big, giant, black c***” and now has “all of these sex workers that he worked with...NDAs” that aren’t…

In perhaps a preview of coming attractions from the liberal media when more communists join the ranks of Congress in January, NBC’s 3rd Hour of Today promoted on Thursday a new off-Broadway play fretting over those in Hollywood who were investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in the post-World War II era for alleged communist ties. One of the cast members — far-left…

On Tuesday, amid new scandals and calls to drop out of the race, Maine Senate Democrat nominee Graham Platner announced an “urgent” job opening for a Research Director to “Anticipate opponent lines of attack and build comprehensive defense strategies and rapid response toolkits,” suggesting the possibility that more allegations are to come.

Politico dropped a new Graham Platner bombshell Monday afternoon that ex-girlfriend Jenny Racicot alleged the Maine Democrat senatorial candidate “forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago despite her repeated objections.” MS NOW surprisingly was on it within 30 minutes and made clear that, aside from one guest arguing he stay in because Brett Kavanaugh “raped” Christine Blasey…

As Britain gets ready for its seventh prime minister in just 10 years, it’s time to ask whether the parliamentary system itself is broken. That might explain not only why landslide election victories don’t translate into stable leadership in Britain but also why America’s Congress is so feckless. Is representative government an idea whose time has passed?

“I am not OK with any deportation. I think all deportation is wrong,” Democratic Socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier declared in an interview last Thursday, hoping to become the Democratic Party’s candidate in New York’s 13th congressional district.

Far-left Texas State Representative and senatorial candidate James Talarico sat for a 15-minute interview on Wednesday with CBS News White House and election correspondent Ed O’Keefe and, thanks to its short duration and O’Keefe likely wanting to cover a whole slew of topics, skated by with dodgy answers on his radical views about transgenderism and his heretical claim that “God is non-binary…

The “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC were enthralled Wednesday morning with the possibilities of a blue Texas Senate seat in November as they declared the Republican nomination of “controversial” Attorney General Ken Paxton over incumbent John Cornyn could “backfire for the GOP” with Democrat state Representative James Talarico serving “as their best chance to win in decades.”
