Hump Day marked a tough day for Jen Psaki as she reportedly careens toward the series finale of The Psaki Show as the White House press secretary faced tough questions on inflation and another off-the-cuff remark from President Biden about Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine, including one that questioned whether there needs to be “an asterisk next to anything that the President says.”

On Morning Joe, Obama's former National Security Council specialist on Syria says that Obama's "infamous" failure to enforce his redline on the use of chemical weapons in Syria could bite us in Ukraine, because Putin doesn't believe there would be any repercussions for his use of chemical weapons. 

President Joe Biden says he never talked business with his son. Maybe he didn't. Maybe that Ukrainian gas company paid Hunter Biden half a million dollars because he has unique business skills that no one else noticed. It's possible. But unlikely. Now a Justice Department investigation may tell us whether Hunter is a sleazy opportunist who broke the law and whether his father knew, or even…

Remind us: who is Biden's border czar? We seem to remember that it's Kamala Harris--even if, after more than a year in office, she hasn't actually made it to the border.  But there was Tiffany Cross on her MSNBC show this morning, in effect accusing Biden-Harris of a racist, "double-standard," immigration policy favoring white Ukrainians over asylum seekers from Central America and Africa.

The Pentagon announced Russian forces have left the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, which is good news. So naturally, the Morning Joe crew wanted a "victory lap" for President Biden. Only they didn't want to say that up front. 

Monday on The Psaki Show, Fox’s Peter Doocy made what could be one of his final cracks at White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki before her rumored move to MSNBC and he made it count with a tense exchange on transgenderism, the Florida parental rights in education law, and whether the White House thinks children at age six should learn sex ed.

On Tuesday, former New York Times cybersecurity writer and ultra lefty Nicole Perlroth tweeted what came off to her base as a beatdown of the Fox News Channel in how she declined an offer to appear on one of their shows, accusing the network of being stuffed with “useful idiots” for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in his invasion of Ukraine.

After a slanted softball from NBC’s Kristen Welker during Wednesday’s White House Press Briefing, Thursday’s briefing featured substantive questions about Hunter Biden’s life of corruption to White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield via Welker and CBS’s Ed O’Keefe and Steven Portnoy. This time, the trio pressed on whether they stand by President Biden’s claims that Hunter didn’t do…

Millions flee Ukraine. Where will they go? Some want to come to America. But doing that legally is hard. A complex system is supposed to determine which people deserve to get in line to get in. “The line is broken,” explains Reason Magazine editor at large Matt Welch in my new video. For example, America has a nursing shortage, but immigration authorities turn away foreign nurses.

New York Times columnist Tom Friedman has a hot take about the Ukraine War, and of course, it involved trying to freak people out about climate change.

President Biden’s speech from Warsaw Saturday night, reminded me of two previous presidents who delivered speeches confronting the autocracy that was then the Soviet Union and is now Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, a man Biden has rightly called a war criminal. On June 26, 1963, Kennedy spoke before the Berlin Wall which the Soviets had erected to stem the flow of Berliners out of the communist…

White House communications director Kate Bedingfield took her turn Tuesday at the Briefing Room podium as the fifth person to speak to reporters and, predictably, the issue of Hunter Biden’s life of corruption didn’t come up over the 80 questions from reporters despite her own record dismissing the infamous laptop as Russian disinformation. Instead, we had some solid questions about President…

CNN's John Harwood could be the biggest pro-Biden hack in the liberal media. Appearing on New Day, Harwood dismissed the significance of the Justice Department's investigation of Hunter Biden, claiming it was "not of much public import."

Making his latest appearance Tuesday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, NBC special correspondent and former Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw blamed “Fox News and ever more poisonous right-wing political organizations” for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as they’ve “constantly attack[ed]” President Biden, weakening him and the west.
