Conservatives & Republicans

Reading commentary about the recent elections, I thought of an observation of Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. Feynman said, “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” That is, we must always be disciplined in looking at things as they are and not bend to the temptation to see them as we wish them to be.

Before MSNBC transforms into MS Now at midnight on Saturday, The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle joined ESPN and SiriusXM host Stephen A. Smith on Thursday for his Straight Shooter podcast. Once there, Ruhle offered up an unconvincing excuse for why she does not have Republican guests on her show.

After treating Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to a gush fest last week where they tried to recruit her to the Democrats, executive producer Brian Teta and co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed relief on Tuesday’s edition of their Behind the Table podcast that Greene was not bad mouthing them after the fact like other guests they’ve apparently had. The two eventually took…

Throughout the first week of November, ABC News’s The View used their Behind the Table podcast to vent about all the criticism they were receiving about their staunch stance of rejecting conservative guests who would give the co-hosts a hard time. The View started receiving flak after co-host Joy Behar declared that conservatives were “afraid of us,” and has dismissed all…

After noting Marjorie Taylor Greene's praise of Nancy Pelosi after the former Speaker's announcement that she will not be seeking re-election, Morning Joe favorably contrasts her words with President Trump's critical comments. Eugene Robinson praises MTG's "reality-based analysis."

Thursday was day 37 on the longest government shutdown in American history and, despite speaking about it on The View for weeks, ABC News co-host Joy Behar needed it to be explained to her. Of course, Behar’s takeaway was that the Republican Party wants “compromised” air safety and “does not want you to have your healthcare.” Rhetoric that could incite yet another liberal to kill or…

Among the avalanche of Democratic Party wins on Election Night was Jay Jones, who ran for attorney general of Virginia. During Wednesday’s edition of ABC News’s The View, the leftist ladies marveled and touted Jones’s win despite the revelations that he sent multiple text messages calling for the death of his Republican opposition and for their children to die in their mothers’ arms…

On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough sought to present himself as the kindly, non-partisan political consultant, saying he had warned Republicans not to overreach after their 2024 victories, or imagine they'd occupy the White House forever. "And if you go too fast, voters will knock you on your ass immediately. And that's what happened yesterday." 

On Tuesday, Election Day, ABC’s The View broke their over-a-year streak of not having a Republican on the program by inviting on Georgia Representative Marjory Taylor Greene (R). Their motives for actually inviting her on became quickly apparent when they praised her for being a headache for congressional Republican leadership. Despite previously decrying nearly everything she said…

As the government shutdown dragged on, and despite Representative Kathrine Clark (D-MA) admitting the shutdown was the Democrats exercising their leverage, ABC’s The View grew more brazen with their inciting rhetoric against Republicans. On Thursday’s episode, the insisted that the Republicans’ plan was to hold millions of Americans “hostage” as their healthcare was hanging in the…

On Tuesday, CNN’s The Lead host Jake Tapper was all of us in having to deal with the middle-aged, theatre kid buffoonery of Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), who was brought on as a Democrat from the Oversight Committee to counter an earlier interview with Chairman James Comer (R-KY) about the Biden autopen report. Instead, she hijacked it to accuse Republicans of wanting tens…

Three weeks ago, The New York Times released a poll of Americans on the question of whether America’s political system could still solve the nation’s problems. The overwhelming response: no. In September 2020, 51% of Americans believed that America’s system could still address America’s problems; by September 2025, that number had declined to 33%. Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of…

On Sunday's Velshi show, frequent MSNBC guest Elie Mystal charged that Chief Justice John Roberts is the "biggest enemy towards black people" on the Supreme Court since the pro-slavery Dred Scott decision from 1857.

On Tuesday, October 14, the cast of ABC’s The View whined on-air that Republicans didn’t want to come on the program to talk with them. According to co-host Joy Behar, Republicans were “afraid of us.” But after a clip of Behar’s suggestion went viral, Republicans and conservatives began to call out The View for repeatedly turning down their requests to appear on the show.
