Thursday was just another day in the reverse reality that the coven of ABC’s The View occupies as they lashed out Republicans with false accusations that they were the ones “defunding the police” in (heavily Democratic) cities around the country, and they were “the real problem” with rising gun violence in cities.

Trust in government has been declining since the administration of President Lyndon Johnson. According to Pew Research, only 36 percent of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents and 9 percent of Republicans and those leaning Republican now trust government.

In a shocking turn of events, a literal highway robbery gone wrong in Texas resulted in the perpetrator shooting himself in the head while trying to rob another driver at gunpoint.

San Francisco's liberal mayor declared a “state of emergency” to try to deal with the city's “nasty streets.” How did it get so bad? Journalist Michael Shellenberger's new book, “San Fransicko,” argues that it happened because of progressive ideas. “The town I love is sick,” says Shellenberger in my new video. He came to San Francisco when he was in his 20s to support social justice causes. He…

Liberals like to mock people offering "thoughts and prayers" in response to deadly shootings. But liberals themselves invariably trot out a largely useless approach to such tragedies. They focus on guns, not the criminals who use them. And just like the politicians, the liberal media also buys into this false focus. CNN Monday morning aired a segment on the killing of two law enforcement…

In a hilarious and pointed segment on the Fox News Channel’s The Five on Monday, co-anchor Greg Gutfeld unloaded on CNN’s Brian Stelter for taking swipes at Fox News for reporting on the fact that violent and other forms of crime were on the rise throughout President Biden’s America. Even Democratic co-host and former Congressman Harold Ford (D-TN) took Stelter and his henchman Oliver…
