State of the Union

Both ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned on Monday after a week off to offer up some Olympic-sized hockey hot takes. Kimmel would try to turn the gold-medal-winning women’s team into a symbol of the anti-Trump resistance, while Daily Show host Jon Stewart and this week’s Tuesday-Thursday host Desi Lydic used the opportunity to explain why Canada,…

We’re not sure what the actual flex is for Courier Newsroom -- a literal fake news organization heavily financed by the George Soros empire -- to be co-hosting a supposed rebuttal to President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address aimed at “bring[ing] together elected officials, cultural figures, journalists, veterans, and organizers for a live counter-address focused on defying Donald…

Discussing issues ahead of the State of the Union, Cornish said: “We called up one of the people we polled, a Republican voter, Sean from New Mexico. He said: ‘I think people were expecting Trump to provide a bit of relief to their suffering. Grocery prices are just through the roof. Everything is so expensive.’ So this is even, like, a Republican voter.” One Republican voter. Out of tens of…

The 36 million who watched President Donald Trump’s address to Congress also watched as Congressional Black Caucus member, Rep. Al Green, shook his cane and shouted at the president. When he refused to desist, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed from the chamber. Two days later, in a bipartisan vote, the House censured Green.

Democrat strategist James Carville advises his party to simply wait for President Donald Trump to fail: “I’m telling the Democrats, just sit there, play possum. Let them go, let them go, let them go. Poll numbers have declined, and the collapse is already underway. ... Just let the ball come to you. We don’t need to be aggressive now.”

The alleged “twinkle in his eye” was missing from John Oliver’s latest Sunday rant on Last Week Tonight. The HBO host was tremendously upset that “centrist Democrats” are supposedly insistent on “bending over backwards for conservatives” to the point where they are praising Ronald Reagan. As Oliver tells it, the best thing Reagan did was die, and that if he were alive today, he would…

The liberal media had a predictably sour reaction to President Trump’s speech to Congress. Yet one year ago, these same networks used Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union speech to dishonestly proclaim the obviously faltering 81-year-old was brimming with energy and ready for a second term.

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

The most reliable indicator of the positive impact of President Donald Trump’s 2025 address before a Joint Session of Congress is the paucity of subsequent coverage it drew- 5 minutes and 7 seconds across all three network newscasts, versus a staggering 11 minutes and 26 seconds for then-President Joe Biden’s final State of the Union address. Stated plainly, Joe Biden’s final State of the…

Everyone knows that winning the assignment of officially responding to a State of the Union speech can be a curse, not a blessing. But it depends on which party is responding. Pundits gushed over Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin this year. 

After signing his latest batch of executive orders in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump declared Thursday afternoon that deranged, poisonous MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace should be forced to resign for their “disgraceful” comments smearing 13-year-old brain cancer patient and Trump speech guest DJ Daniel.

CBS’s Taylor Tomlinson was distraught on Wednesday’s edition of After Midnight. Not only did she say President Donald Trump’s Tuesday address to Congress was full of “lies, propaganda, and threats,” but she also accused Democrats and the New York Times of not being able to stand up to Trump and his “fascism.”

Writing Thursday morning on his Substack, our friend and Georgia-based conservative talk radio host Erick Erickson took the liberal media and their allies to the woodshed for their behavior during and after President Trump’s Tuesday night address to a joint session of Congress, calling MSNBC “rich, white, neurotic women” and The New York Times a band of “neurotic women and gay men.”…

NBC’s Seth Meyers claimed on Wednesday’s episode of Late Night that President Trump’s Tuesday address to Congress bored him, but despite that, he claimed that it was “deeply offensive” for Trump to refer to Massachusetts Senator and fake Native American Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.” Speaking of Massachusetts, Meyers would later welcome Gov. Maura Healey to the show to urge…
