If Love means never having to say you’re sorry (it doesn’t), then being a member of the media means never having to admit you were wrong (it does). I wouldn’t write about the Jussie Smollett case and his conviction for lying about a hoax he perpetrated if it didn’t reflect something seriously wrong in the culture.

Titleist Censors Reject ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Golf Ball Orders

Move over, Big Tech. Titleist, the company that boasts of making the No. 1 ball in golf, is now part of the corporate censorship movement. Titleist will allow you the opportunity to order customizable golf balls with anti-Trump statements, but don’t even think about using “Let’s Go, Brandon!” This anti-Joe Biden phrase was originally allowed by Titlist, but is now strictly forbidden as a…

WashPost 'Fact Checker' Rushes to Defend Tax Avoidance by the Bidens

In Sunday's Washington Post, "fact checker" Glenn Kessler took up Joe and Jill Biden's tax avoidance during the Trump years by channeling funds through an "S corporation."

ABC Spikes Own Poll Showing Disapproval of Biden’s Handling of Crime

On Sunday, ABC News released a new poll showing what they describe as “[President] Biden's approval” hitting “new lows” “on many issues.” But in the two days it’s been out, they’ve only mentioned it once on-air and completely omitted the large majority of Americans who disapprove of his handling of the spike in crime across the country.
