Boston Marathon Beset By White Privilege Charges, Race-baiting

Progressive guilt and racial grievance mongering were the order of the day for Monday in New England. And, oh, yes, the Boston Marathon took place there, too. USA Today’s left-wing sports columnist Nancy Armour and the Boston Athletic Association asserted the sport of distance running is far too white and has erased indigenous people for far too long.

More Americans have died from COVID-19 during the Biden administration than during the Trump administration. That is not the good news for President Joe Biden. Former President Donald Trump initiated Operation Warp Speed. We had Democrats casting aspersions on the efficacy of a would-be and supposedly rushed vaccine.

Editor’s Pick: NR Hits MSNBC for Defending Stacey Abrams Election Lies

On Monday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger took to National Review to call out MSNBC for defending the “stolen-election lies” of failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams following her 2018 election defeat in the state.

WATCH: Thomas Takes on the Left’s ‘High Tech Lynching’ 30 Years Ago

It was 30 years ago today that Clarence Thomas demolished the left — and the liberal media’s — attempt to destroy him, condemning smears as a “high tech lynching.” On October 11, 1991, the then-Supreme Court nominee finally got to speak for himself and respond to the charges that he sexually harassed Anita Hill.

NYT Forced to Fix Claim 900,000 Kids Have Been Hospitalized with COVID

On Thursday, October 7, The New York Times buried a correction to a pernicious report that suggested 900,000 American kids had been “hospitalized” with COVID-19 when in reality it was around 63,000. But not only did the report mischaracterize those hospitalizations, but the report also falsely stated how Sweden and Denmark were distributing doses to young children and it also wrongly…

MSNBC's Witt Frets Texas GOP Targeting Two 'Outstanding' House Dems

On Sunday afternoon, MSNBC weekend anchor Alex Witt put on the latest display of her partisanship by devoting a segment to fretting over Texas Republicans making it more difficult for two House Democrats to get reelected, drawing them both into the same district in Houston.
