Rep. Banks Demands Answers on Military Advertiser Ties to NewsGuard
Four members of a House Armed Services subcommittee have issued a new letter demanding answers from a major advertising agency contracted by the U.S. Air Force for its shady connections to leftist media ratings firms with a track record of trying to bankrupt right-leaning media.
Remembering How Freedom Is Not Free
One picture worth a thousand words is a graph on the U.S. Department of Defense website showing U.S. annual Defense spending as a percentage of GDP, going back to 1953. Two things jump out. First, the lowest over the 70-year period was in 1999, at the end of the Clinton administration, when it stood at 2.7%. This is a little more than half the previous low, which stood at 4.5% 20 years earlier…
ICYMI: NBC’s Alexander Grills Lloyd Austin on Hiding Hospital Stay
On Thursday, the Pentagon press corps were able to question Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for the first time since his secret December hospitalizations and prostate cancer diagnosis he hid from the American public and President Biden until early January. There were plenty of tough questions, but most notable was NBC’s Peter Alexander (pinch-hitting for Pentagon correspondent Courtney Kube,…
Weakness in America Breeds Aggression from Our Enemies
This week, three American soldiers died at the hands of an Iranian proxy group that used a drone to strike an American base in Jordan. The Biden administration immediately leapt into action by issuing a strongly worded statement, while simultaneously proclaiming that they wanted to avoid escalation. Which, of course, is precisely the wrong thing to do when faced with aggression from a smaller…
Heinrich, Wegmann Grill WH on Border Deal, Iran Killing Americans
On Monday, the border crisis and Sunday’s Iranian proxy attack that killed three American soldiers dominated the White House press briefing and, amid over a dozen liberal reporters asking process questions on Iran and open-ended questions on the Senate border deal, there were a rare few who actually pressed the administration on their weakness in the Middle East and the border deal that has…
Martha Raddatz Tries, FAILS to Bait Gen. Brown Into Attacking Trump
ABC News This Week host Martha Raddatz had a sit-down with the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. C.Q. Brown. What was a biographical get-to-know-you interview mixed with talk about current events in the Middle East was marred by an unnecessary dive into politics.
KJP Ducks Jacqui Heinrich on Basic Question: Is the Border Secure?
While much of the questions during Friday afternoon’s White House press briefing centered on the Middle East, abortion, and Ukraine, Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich stuck to the border and got the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to play dumb on a basic question: does the White House think the border is secure? She arrived at that direction question by way of a recent House resolution: “…
Scarborough Rants: Biden Best Economic, Military President Since 1945
MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough reacted to Donald Trump’s Iowa Caucus victory on Tuesday by going on a fact-free, pro-Biden rant where he asserted that economy has never been better and that, under Biden, the military is now the strongest that it has been since 1945.
Here Were the Most BITING Briefing Questions on the Lloyd Austin Saga
As we’ve seen throughout the Biden administration when the liberal press choose to bring the heat during White House press briefings, it’s usually only good for a day or two before they fall in line. Worse yet in the case of ABC, CBS, and NBC, we almost never see probing questions and/or tense exchanges surface on their flagship morning and evening newscasts. On cue, that happened on Tuesday…
Arkansas Commander Resigns Over Defense's Pro-Abortion Policy
Colonel Dillon Patterson has resigned as commander of the 188th Wing of Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Arkansas citing conflicts with his religious beliefs.
PolitiFact Refuses To Give Haley 'True' Rating For True China Claim
There are only three things certain in life: death, taxes, and professional fact-checkers condemning Republican politicians for lamenting the small size of the U.S. Navy. The latest installment in this nearly-decade long exercise of opinion-checking disguised as fact-checking came on Monday as PolitiFacat’s Louis Jacobson only gave presidential candidate Nikki Haley a “half-true” rating for…
John Rich’s New Song Reminds Us That Freedom Is Earned, Not Inherited
Country star John Rich re-released his song called “The Man” to honor WW2 veterans. Rich also wants the song to be a reminder to young people that “freedom is inherited and not earned.”
Credit Where It’s Due: John Kirby NUKES Reporter’s Question on Gazans
While not to be confused with anything more than a longtime Democratic regime official, Biden National Security Council official John Kirby showed surprising backbone all sides can applaud in Thursday’s White House press briefing when provided refreshing moral clarity upon being dealt a snarky question from the left by Raquel Krӓhenbühl of the Brazilian network TV Globo on whether he should…
