Post-Speech Roundup: Trump's a Narcissist Full of Lies and 'Unity' BS!

Staunch Republicans may have loved President Trump's long speech on Thursday night, but it's easy to suspect that the journalists watching it were going to go beyond skeptical, like on PBS: "The initial calls for unity quickly gave way to attacks on Democrats, to a litany of falsehoods, to a string of insults."

Column: Are Trump Scandals Just Endless Hours of Noise?

Joy Reid Thinks Masculinity is 'White-Adjacent'

As the final night of the Republican National Conference began, with a crowd overwhelmed with excitement, optimism, and successful polling, it seemed to become harder for the media to find any criticism.

CBS’s Margaret Brennan: ‘The Strongman Has a Family, Too'

Watching countless hours of the 2024 Republican National Convention is quite instructive and serves tremendous purpose, to wit: to remind everyone that the cloistered Acela Media have nothing but utter contempt for significant portions of the American public.

What We Must Learn From Trump Shooting

We now have, as we would expect, a tsunami of commentary regarding the horrible assassination attempt on Donald Trump. It is not trivial to observe that at least the good news is that just about everyone agrees what happened is very bad and not an encouraging sign about the state of our nation.
