The Bold and the Beautifully Dumb From the WH Briefing With Mayorkas
Thursday’s White House press briefing was a barn burner ahead of Title 42’s expiration with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas playing stand-in for the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Not surprisingly, Mayorkas spun a fantastical tale of border security, order, and speedy deportation of illegal immigrants who fail to have their ducks in a row. And, also not…
Scarborough: GOP Debt Plan Would Make Cars, Trains, Food Supply Unsafe
MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough showed how far gone he is from being a Republican (and instead a Democrat) when he tag-teamed with former Obama official and Morning Joe analyst Steven Rattner that, if Republicans get their way on government spending and debt, cars and trains could be more at risk of crashing and falling apart, food-borne illnesses could skyrocket…
Heinrich Blasts KJP Over ‘MAGA Republican Extremists’ Rhetoric on Debt
In an otherwise pedestrian questioning Tuesday of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on the looming debt battle, Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich actually made something out of the gathering by grilling her on her rhetoric smearing 260 members of the House and Senate as domestic extremists and threats to the country for either supporting or voting spending cuts tied to raising the debt…
She Should Take KJP’s Job: ABC’s Bruce Spins for Biden on Border, Debt
Being a frequent NewsBusters reader and/or a trip to our taxonomy term for ABC chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce would give one the impression that Bruce is little more than a doormat for the Biden administration and loyally delivering the day’s preferred spin. Such was the case on Tuesday’s Good Morning America as she enthusiastically spun for President Biden on the border…
Nets Play Lapdog for Biden on Border Crisis; CBS Plays Massive KJP Lie
After first rediscovering the border crisis Tuesday night, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship Wednesday morning news shows to spin on behalf of President Biden and his administration, insisting they’re “bracing for” the surge, “taking this seriously,” or paint them as not responsible for the unfettered surge of illegal immigration. ABC’s Good Morning America…
With the Debt Limit, It’s the Same Old Song
The very term “debt limit” makes a mockery of any kind of responsible budgeting. Each time the government reaches the “limit” it gets raised with the familiar scenarios that include threats of a government shutdown (an idea that increasingly appeals to some conservatives) and the claim that the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. is at stake. We have faith and credit? Who knew?
CNNer: GOP Has ‘Gun’ Pointed at ‘Head of the Global Economy’
Republicans have been trying to get America’s runaway spending under control so future generations aren’t saddled with unimaginable levels of debt. But that’s hard to do when there are bad-faith actors like Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell on CNN This Morning portraying the GOP as terrorists taking “hostage[s]” and holding “a gun to the head of the global economy…
WashPost Hypes 'Far Right' Freedom Caucus 'Pledges Fiscal WAR'
On the top right of the Monday Washington Post came this glaring headline about "Far-right bloc is flexing muscle: Freedom Caucus pledges fiscal war." In the story, the reporters used the term "far-right" ten times to describe House Republicans. As they acknowledge, that neatly matches Biden's campaign rhetoric about "MAGA extremists."
WH Press Ignore KJP Rant on GOP Filling U.S. With Smog, ‘Melt Bones’
Prior to the weekend, more Hunter Biden headlines, and Monday’s media tsunami regarding Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon, there was Friday’s White House press briefing and it began with a rant from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ghoulishly claiming House Republicans want to “fill our cities with smog,” “give asthma to our children,” and allow oil companies to use chemicals that…
ABC, NBC Hide BRUTAL News on Intel Letter Dismissing Hunter’s Laptop
The news got worse Thursday for Hunter Biden as it was revealed now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken was the catalyst behind the debunked and infamous October 2020 letter from former intelligence officials dismissing the surfacing of Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation. This bombshell showing more interference in the 2020 election was nowhere to be found on the Thursday night…
At NYC Hearing, Sleazy NY Times Suggests Soros Criticism Anti-Semitic
The House Judiciary Committee held an unusual “field hearing” in Manhattan to hear from local victims of violence -- a bank shot against Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is prosecuting a dubious case against former president Donald Trump while being accused of being soft on actual violent crime. The New York Times responded with haughty defensiveness, rallying…
Choosing to Sustain the Unsustainable
Everywhere one looks these days it appears services and products cost more but deliver less than they once did. That seems especially true when it comes to the federal government. President Biden wants to raise taxes again. Unlikely, given the Republican House majority, but this Tax Day offers us our annual opportunity to explore what we are getting in exchange for what we’re paying Washington…
How Sincere Is Sen. Schumer on Regulating Artificial Intelligence?
Sen. Chuck Schumer is making plans to regulate artificial intelligence, but is this just another show of holding anti-free speech Big Tech companies accountable?
NewsNation’s Vittert Destroys Inept Lefty on Twitter’s New NPR Label
Wednesday night on NewsNation, On Balance host Leland Vittert battled woefully unprepared liberal strategist Kaivan Shroff on whether it was appropriate for Twitter to slap National Public Radio (NPR) Tuesday night with a “US state-affiliated media” label with Vittert noting it does, in fact, derive part of its budget from the U.S. government. Shroff hilariously denounced the label,…
