Social Security

2024 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley gave her first network interview to NBC’s Today co-host Craig Melvin for Thursday’s show and Melvin predictably made Donald Trump the focus, constantly pressing her on why she’d run against him, his role in January 6, his outlook on the 2020 election, his penchant for insults, and his views on foreign policy.

As Team Biden "keeps hammering Republicans" on modifying Social Security to restrain spending, Politico conveniently memory holed Joe Biden's past support for Social Security cuts while reporting on his attacks upon Republicans for wanting to make cuts to that program.

CBS host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert may have had the week of the State of the Union address off, but that did not prevent him and former White House chief of staff Ron Klain from gloating over the moment where President Biden gave the false impression Republicans are demanding cuts to Social Security and Medicare on Monday’s show.

The New York Times showcased an apparent disregard for human life when it chose to legitimize the idea of mass suicide as one “drastic” method to deal with Japan’s aging population.

MSNBC’s host of The 11th Hour Stephanie Ruhle was not happy that Fox News reacted to President Biden’s State of the Union by calling him a liar and to help her in her quest against this narrative, she welcomed professional Fox News watcher Juliet Jeske to claim Fox viewers are in a “cult” who need “deprogramming”

Despite all the proclamations from Republican leaders saying cuts to Social Security and Medicare are not on the table, NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers reacted to President Biden’s State of the Union address on Wednesday by defending him against allegations he lied about GOP intentions to do just that.

Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom did not directly say that President Biden lied during his State of the Union address when he claimed that Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare, but they strongly implied it wasn’t true. Still, the Republican reaction to that claim garnered more condemnation from the assorted cast than the claim itself with co-host Jim Sciutto go so far as to…

Amid plenty of laughter from the panel, MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough’s Wednesday reaction to the State of the Union was more cathartic group therapy than serious analysis as he wasted no time in calling Republicans “stupid” and “the dumbest political party that’s ever existed” while labeling them “jackasses” for daring to object to President Biden’s lie about them cutting…

The next presidential race is on. One probable candidate is former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He just released a new book: “Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love.” Pompeo must be a smart guy. He graduated first in his class at West Point. Then he went to Harvard Law School. Interviewing him makes it clear that he is smarter and more thoughtful than most…

Behind the refusal of the House Republican Party’s so-called freedom caucus to vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is the caucus’s skepticism that he will actually “rein in government spending.” I’ve never quite understood why all Republicans do not belong to the Freedom Caucus. If the Republican Party supports low taxes, light regulations and strong national security, why is a Freedom…

Sparks flew on Tuesday night’s edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC when Joy Reid had an unexpected guest: Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donalds. As you can imagine the interview got quite heated at various points mostly caused by Reid’s hostility and ignorance on a wide range of issues from the insolvency of Social Security to Critical Race Theory. 

On Sunday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom, CNN political analyst Scott Jennings schooled disgraced former Senator and failed actor Al Franken over his blatantly false claim that Republicans in Congress will cut Social Security and Medicare if they win control of Congress in November. In fact, Jennings tore into him so badly that Franken was forced to turn to CNN Newsroom host Jim Acosta for…

Three economists lambasted a New York Times op-ed claiming that the Democratic Party is better for the economy than the GOP. 

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board just ripped apart the absurdity of “Bidenomics.”  Hint: it most definitely is not “well-grounded in mainstream economics” as New York Times economist Paul Krugman would have people believe.
