AP Boosts LGBT Activists' Lament Over 'Rarely Used' Hate Crime Laws
AP's David Crary filed a slanted report on Thursday that spotlighted the complaints of left-wing organizations regarding hate crime laws that, in their view, are "rarely used to prosecute the slayings" of "transgender" individuals. Crary zeroed in on a murder case in Missouri where " a transgender teen...was stabbed in the genitals." He used the homicide as a jumping-off point to cite several…
Charlie Rose to Justice Ginsburg: ‘Keep Up That Exercise, Okay?’
On Wednesday, CBS’s Charlie Rose was caught openly rooting for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to delay her retirement from the Supreme Court – for as long as Donald Trump is President. The CBS This Morning anchor, on his PBS show, encouraged the Bill Clinton appointee to stick to the health regiment set up by her personal trainer as he warned: “Donald Trump may have the chance [to appoint another…
NYT Tries to Nip Trump Cut in Bud: ‘Benefits Wealthy, Including Trump'
President Trump outlined his tax cut proposal, generating two lead stories in Thursday’s New York Times under the banner headline “Sweeping Trump Tax Plan Vague on Details and Cost.” Economics reporter Binyamin Appelbaum’s “news analysis" was hostile: “Windfall Would Go to the Wealthiest.” The online headline: “Trump Tax Plan Benefits Wealthy, Including Trump.”
Fifty Years at One Magazine
WASHINGTON -- On the occasion of my 50th anniversary of founding and editing The American Spectator, I feel moved to reflect on the parlous condition of the magazine business. We celebrated our anniversary this week, and naturally I composed my reflections before the event. What makes this column something more than an occasion for indulgence is that the sickly condition of magazines is, of a…
NFL Pigskins at the Public Trough
I'm calling foul on all the leftists rushing to protect the NFL's protest crusaders from President Donald Trump's criticism of their national anthem antics. Their shabby line of defense? The NFL is a "private enterprise" whose "rights" are being violated by those who dare to challenge the league's political radicalization. The anti-Trump Democratic Coalition has even filed an ethics complaint…
Not a Day Care
Our college-age population consists mostly of 18- to 30-year-olds, and likewise our armed forces. I wonder whether they shared common responses to the 2016 presidential election. Many college administrators provided students with therapy dogs, play dough, coloring books, bubbles, videos of frolicking kittens and puppies, and soft music. They even canceled classes and postponed exams so that their…

Michelle Obama Bashes Women Who Voted for Trump as Weak Minded, Sexist
At a marketing conference in Boston Wednesday, former First Lady Michelle Obama complained that women who voted against Hillary Clinton, must not have their own voice. In fact, it means they must only follow what they’re told and hate what’s best for women. The condescending comment came during a lengthy spiel Obama gave about transitioning to life outside the White House, and what it meant to be…
Spike Lee: Politics, Sports Are Linked Due to Country's Racist History
Like many of CNN’s town halls, Wednesday night’s NFL special featured multiple perspectives and balanced questioning, but the goodwill and dialogue was degraded by liberal filmmaker Spike Lee’s intolerant outbursts. Chief among them was Lee’s insistence that politics cannot be avoided in sports (and thus must be mixed) because of the country’s racist history and “genocide of Native Americans and…

Washington Post's Dana Milbank: President Trump Is 'Driving Us Crazy'
Break out the MAGA butterfly nets! President Donald Trump is driving us crazy. Funny farm here we come! You might remember that on September 15, columnist Dana Milbank of the Washington Post claimed that Trump is killing him. However, before Milbank has a chance to kick the bucket he will apparently lose his mind. Yes, Milbank is now also claiming in his September 22 column that President Trump…
MSNBC: Trump’s NFL Remarks = Conspiracy to Activate Racist Americans
On Thursday’s Morning Joe, Willie Geist solo-hosted a segment where he and the rest of the panel supposedly got to the bottom of Trump’s NFL comments opposing football players protesting during the performance of the National Anthem: it was all a dastardly plot to appeal to Americans’ inherent racism and thereby distract them from the fact that Trump is trying to hurt them with terrible policies.
Cecile Richards: ‘Most Women Understand Planned Parenthood’
According to the head of America’s largest abortion provider, women understand Planned Parenthood. But she’s forgetting a few numbers in her calculation. On Sept. 25, Comedian Larry Wilmore invited Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, on his podcast show, Black on Air.
