NPR's Extremism Reporter Only Finds Extremism in Trump Protecting Jews
NPR’s radical “domestic extremism correspondent” Odette Yousef took an insane angle on the Trump Administration’s efforts to punish Harvard University for failing to protect Jewish students from anti-semitism on campus – twisting it into Trump trying to halt the arc of racial justice.

Al Jazeera Applauded for Anti-Israel Speech After Receiving News Emmy
During last week’s 46th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards, Qatari-backed news network Al Jazeera was given a platform to further their typical propaganda against Israel.

MSNBC Claims Mamdani Critics Are Just Islamophobic Right-Wingers
On Sunday’s The Weekend Primetime, MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin suggested that Mamdani was being unfairly targeted by critics on the right because of his Muslim faith and his cultural identity. “There is a double standard,” he said, nodding to Mamdani’s supposed persecution and labeling criticism of the assemblyman as “vulgar” and “ugly.”

Assessments and Credibility at CNN
On Tuesday, in what it labeled an “exclusive,” CNN reported that initial intelligence assessments of the Iran bombing suggested Iran had been set back a couple of months in its quest for a nuclear weapon. The report’s lead reporter was Natasha Bertrand. In 2020, Bertrand played a lead role in attempting to discredit reports of Hunter Biden’s laptop. One cannot understand the new report without…

Eisenhower, Reagan — Republican Beacons of Principles Trump Carries on
On Sept. 11, 2001, Muslim fanatics flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing upward of 3,000 innocent American civilians. Americans asked why? We ask again today. We hear from the Iranian regime, “Death to America,” “Death to Israel.” Why? The unfortunate answer is, for the fanatics in Iran, our very existence is sufficient reason for them to serve up a death sentence.…

White House’s Leavitt SLAMS CNN’s Bertrand for Anonymous Iran Hitjob
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had one of her strongest briefings yet Thursday afternoon as she launched one scathing broadside after another at the liberal media for their anonymously sourced stories falsely claiming the weekend U.S. military airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites were a failure, calling these “agenda-driven leaks” and “fake and false narratives” led by CNN’s Deep…

Networks Trumpet NYC’s ‘Charismatic Socialist’ With ‘Powerful’ Views
The “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC were ebullient Wednesday morning in celebrating far-left, “young, charismatic, socialist” New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani emerging as the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor as a “seismic...possible harbinger” for America’s future because of his “populist” views “meeting people where they are” with “solutions.”

Joy Reid's Israel Hot Take Was So Insane, Even CNN Pushed Back
CNN hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory on the Israel-Iran War, but on Tuesday, former MSNBC rabble-rouser Joy Reid had a hot take so insane that even NewsNight host Abby Phillip had to rebuke her. According to Reid, the only reason why Iran wants a nuclear weapon is because Israel is attacking it in the first place.

Meyers Attacks Trump For Taking Credit For Ending 'The War He Started'

Colbert Dances After CNN Casts Doubt On Success Of Iran Strikes
On Tuesday, CNN published an article of debatable accuracy alleging that Saturday’s B-2 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not as successful as President Trump and other administration officials have claimed.

Secure Borders Win Wars Like This One
The Iran crisis of the past two weeks isn’t just about nuclear weapons — it’s also an urgent reminder that border security is national security.
Tehran’s terrorist agents are a weapon with a much longer reach than any of the mullahs’ missiles. They’ve been a threat to Salman Rushdie’s life in the United States and Europe for more than 35 years, and in 2022 an attacker sympathetic to…
