It is proof of the power of our faith that the spirit of Christmas prevails over all the reasons for cynicism. I'm thinking now of Psalm 40:4 where we read: Fortunate is the man who has puts his trust in God and has not turned to the arrogant and to those who stray after falsehood. Regarding "the arrogant and those who stray after falsehood," take the case of the International Criminal Court,…

There’s no doubt at least some of you out there will miss the antics, hardballs, stumbles, and throwdowns that came to define Karine Jean-Pierre’s 2024 at the White House Briefing Room podium. With over 70 blogs from our press briefing tag to choose from and the topics ranging from the economy to foreign policy to Biden’s mental slippage, Jean-Pierre and the press corps made it difficult for…

In this final year of the Biden presidency, the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre provided a litany of verbal stumbles and word salads when under tough questioning from Fox’s Peter Doocy, Jacqui Heinrich, Edward Lawrence, and even from liberal legacy outlets. Thankfully for her, there were also times when she had assists from the press corps in peddling the left’s preferred storylines (to hide…

Starting with Wednesday’s The Lead and continuing through Saturday night, CNN gave a massive 56 minutes (56:29) to repeated airings and subsequent fawnings over a supposed exclusive trip inside a Damascus, Syria prison by chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward that resulted in what they billed as the discovery and release of someone who insisted he had been stuck inside a…

Politico's Nahal Toosi is criticized for advocating U.S. involvement in Syria, urging President-elect Trump to engage in foreign affairs despite his reluctance. Her article, "How to Convince a Reluctant Trump to Get Involved in a Liberated Syria," is seen as biased. Toosi suggests appealing to Trump's ego and economic interests to influence his decisions. Critics argue her approach disregards…

With the liberal media’s post-election meltdown bullet train hitting breakneck speed, Senior Research Analyst Bill D’Agostino and I dove into the histrionics over this week’s personnel moves and the left refusing to consider its positions on illegal immigration in light of the voting public’s resounding support for President Trump’s deportation agenda.

Continuing their not-so-veiled attempt at over-compensating in favor of Palestinians, CBS used Thursday’s CBS Evening News and Friday’s CBS Mornings to kvetch about President-Elect Trump selecting former Arkansas Governor and two-time GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee as his choice for U.S. Ambassador to Israel.

NBC's Law & Order took on the Israeli-Gaza conflict last night, showing sympathy for a pro-Hamas protester who is in danger of being deported.

On Monday, CNN NewsNight with far-left pundit Abby Phillip (who pretends to be a journalist) descended into chaos when our friend and conservative panelist Ryan Girdusky quipped to former Al Jazerra and MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan that “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” in reference to the exploding beepers across Lebanon targeting members of Hezbollah.

The Fraser Institute in Vancouver, Canada, just published, for 2024, its annual Economic Freedom of the World Report. There are many ideas about what freedom means. Economic freedom, which the Fraser Institute focuses on, is of key and central importance. It is about the extent to which individuals have control of their economic life.

With an assist from the indispensable people at the pro-Israel media watchdog group CAMERA, our friends at National Review exposed CBS News’s longtime Gaza producer Marwan Al Ghoul on Tuesday as having what they described in their headline as a “as history of antisemitic, anti-Israel commentary” and even wondered if Jewish people are actually human. Despite this and Facebook posts…

Bob Woodward took his book tour to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday, where he declared that it is “journalism” and not opinion to declare that Donald Trump is unfit to be president.

Wednesday night brought more turns in totally unnecessary fallout from the September 30 CBS Mornings interview between co-host Tony Dokoupil and race hustler Ta-Nehisi Coates on the latter’s new book painting Israel as an apartheid state suppressing neglected Palestinians.This time, reporting from The Free Press, The New York Times, Puck, and Mehdi Hasan’s Zeteo laid waste to…

It took two and one-half months for Kamala Harris to agree to an interview with a national journalist. She was interviewed on "60 Minutes" by Bill Whitaker, but her answers are not likely to help her with the few voters who say they are still “undecided.” Asked by Whitaker to explain her economic plan and how it would be paid for, Harris’ response bordered on the meaningless: “My plan is about…
