Reacting to President Biden telling governors regarding the COVID pandemic that "there is no federal solution, this gets solved at the state level," CNN's John Harwood says: "I think that was a throwaway line from Biden . . . I don't think he was actually signaling it's not my job anymore, it's your job . . . So I think somewhat more has been made of that little, sort of polite beginning of…

On Monday, the network evening news broadcasts ignored a report Vanity Fair published alleging the Biden Administration rejected a "10-page plan" from numerous public health institutions to help purchase and distribute Covid tests back in October. "It also recommended, right on the first page, a nationwide 'Testing Surge to Prevent Holiday COVID Surge,'" the magazine's Katherine Eban…

Longtime CBS reporter and chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford went viral on Sunday and Monday on social media following comments meant to air on Sunday’s Face the Nation that slammed our elected officials and public health experts for “the crushing impact that our COVID policies have had on young kids and children” and the subsequent mental health crisis. However, CBS News kept her…

Morning Joe was in no mood today to give Donald Trump credit for his vigorous advocacy of the COVID vaccine during an interview with Candace Owens. Nope: it was just a nefarious ploy, with an eye to 2024, to win back the suburbs.

Appearing on New Day,  CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp says that the prospect of Donald Trump's January 6th speech at Mar a Lago  makes her "physically ill, nauseous, and very afraid." As for whether congressional Republicans would move away from Trump, Cupp said: "I have long given up on the sort of pivot, that Republicans will see Jesus and understand just how dangerous and…

When people criticize Dr. Anthony Fauci, he says: “They’re really criticizing science. Because I represent science.” Pretty arrogant. I assume Fauci is a top-notch scientist. My brother worked with him at the National Institutes of Health and respected him. But power tends to corrupt, and Fauci has been given a lot of power. His department directed tax dollars to the Wuhan Institute of…

On CNN's New Day, David Frum defends his tweeted proposal to: "Let hospitals quietly triage emergency care to serve the unvaccinated last." It's important to note that Frum wasn't merely proposing that the unvaccinated should be given emergency care last only for Covid, but for ALL emergencies. Gunshots, car accidents, etc.: unvaccinated to the back of the line.  

COVID-19 deaths are up. Politicians tell us to wear masks and get vaccinated. Amid the fear, I'm surprised that we haven't heard more about two drugs that could make COVID-19 much less of a threat. In blind tests, Pfizer's Paxlovid was found to reduce the risk of hospitalization and death by 89%! It was so effective that Pfizer was advised to stop the tests. “They halted the clinical trials!”…

Singling out Josh Hawley and Mark Meadows by name, on Morning Joe Joe Scarborough accuses Republicans of having their "testicle" in a Donald Trump lockbox.

On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, Miles Taylor, who as "Anonymous" wrote an anti-Trump New York Times op-ed claiming he was part of the "resistance" inside the Trump White House, says "I wouldn't trust Ronny Jackson to put a Band-aid on me . . . Republicans are quite literally murdering their base of support with their disinformation" on Covid

The Psaki Show returned Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday with a packed show on the heels of the omnicron variant of the coronavirus and a host of new travel restrictions, so it fell to Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy to question Press Secretary Jen Psaki on, among other issues, President Biden’s hypocrisy on Covid travel bans and his latest mask faux pas.

If you are a longtime reader, you will know my wife has lung cancer. It is not from smoking or radon or any environmental cause. When we first got married, due to my wife's family history of breast cancer, she had a prophylactic mastectomy. Sixteen years later, having thought we dodged a bullet, doctors diagnosed her with a genetic form of lung cancer.

When Donald Trump was president, Joe Scarborough ceaselessly mocked him for his overly-optimistic predictions at the beginning of the pandemic as to when Covid would be gone. Among other things, Scarborough endlessly repeated Trump's erroneous forecast that Covid would be gone "by April." Scarborough's repetitions of those lines became such a running joke on Morning Joe, that the show devoted…

After not having been around for Friday’s return of The Psaki Show, Fox’s Peter Doocy made the most of his first crack at Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday’s installment with hardballs on President Biden’s past comments smearing Kyle Rittenhouse, new reports about tension between the White House and Vice President Harris, and whether the U.S. government will boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics…
