PBS's Anti-Israel Omissions on Gaza Hunger, Hamas Health Ministry

The PBS News Hour’s bizarre post-October 7 enmity toward Israel has blared bright the last few days, eager to portray Israel, fighting for existence against a soulless enemy, Hamas, as a cruel invader purposely starving Gaza’s infants.

Colbert Invites Harris To Say 'I Told You So' About 'Barbarian' Trump

The last time CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed former Vice President Kamala Harris to The Late Show, the two had a grand old time drinking beers and looking forward to her presidency. On Thursday, the mood was very different.

Column: Mark Levin Fits Big Ideas In a Little Book

Mark Levin has written a brand new book on a huge subject: On Power. How do you boil that subject down to 208 pages? In America, the founders and their current admirers have been all about limiting power, having the humility about human nature to understand that people lust for power.
