NewsBusters Podcast: Abby Phillip Cries 'No Evidence' of Weaponization
When someone cries "no evidence," it’s probably because they can’t handle the evidence.

NewsBusters Podcast: Car Crashes Are News, Except for Illegal Aliens
When is a non-lethal car accident a national news item -- and a car crash that killed three is not? When an illegal alien killed three.

We discuss this and other wokeness topics with Bill D'…

Dem Congressman Tries to Gotcha Scott Jennings on Guns, Gets SHUT DOWN
Last night’s edition of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, more colloquially known as the “Thunderdome”, opened with a segment on the federalization of Washington D.C.’s Metro Police Department- which is clearly the media’s Current Thing (at least until the Smithsonian cycle kicks off in earnest).

CNN Thinks Enforcing Civil Rights Is ‘Fascism’ and ‘Extortion’
If you watched Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN NewsNight, Ana Navarro and Keith Boykin would have you believe Donald Trump is “extorting” Columbia University and running a “fascist” operation from the White House. But let’s get serious. What actually happened at Columbia is not a criminal shakedown, it’s accountability. When a university accepts billions in federal funding, it has a…
