It is a tragedy when any member of the US military is killed in combat. This is of course true regardless of race. But since Al Sharpton and an MSNBC guest have chosen to racialize and politicize the matter, it's incumbent to set the record straight. On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough pointed out that Hillary has been much more hawkish and interventionist regarding foreign wars than Sanders…

Call it the golden mean or the vital center, Mother Jones blogger Drum is for it with regard to economic systems. Drum contended in a Tuesday post that “the mixed economy is the only way to run a modern country” since the other choices, a “pure free market” and “socialism,” have unacceptable consequences.

Guest Good Morning America co-host David Muir on Friday hyped Hillary Clinton as “fed up” when she screamed at a Bernie Sanders supporter. Meanwhile, Muir also spouted Clinton talking points and demanded to know just how pro-choice Sanders really is. Citing the Vermont senator’s response to Trump’s abortion comments, Muir highlighted a Clinton complaint: “She pointed out that you said Trump's…

Note to feminists: trying to call pro-lifers crazy doesn’t work so well while also pulling stunts like this. A Washington state-based Etsy shop, Cute Fruit Undies, recently began selling period underwear (self-explanatory) with printed pictures of pro-life politicians on the inside lining “for YOU to bleed all over!” Some of the proceeds from the “Bloody Marys Period Panties” (sporting the faces…

The film version of the play Ferguson was uploaded to Youtube this week, almost a year after the play sparked outrage and a walkout of the original actors. The film recounts eyewitnesses’ account of last hours of Michael Brown, the black teenager who was shot and killed by white police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Mo. in Aug., 2014.

While noting the near universal criticism of Donald Trump's comments on abortion, NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers couldn't help but take a few moments early Friday morning to blast pro-lifers as "hypocritical" for calling out Trump since GOP state legislators "are still looking for other non-criminal ways to essentially punish women for having abortions."

Hey, remember that fat, oafish, obnoxious filmmaker Michael Moore who makes liberal fantasy propaganda pieces but labels them documentaries? You might not; he hasn’t had a noteworthy film in over a decade. But ABC’s Scandal is trying to relive his glory days by bringing back one of the many, many, many debunked conspiracy theories in his infamous 2004 film Fahrenheit 9/11. In this case, it’s the…

On Thursday's The Situation Room on CNN, during a discussion of GOP presidential candidate John Kasich recently stepping up criticism of Donald Trump's fitness to be commander-in-chief, CNN's Nia-Malika Henderson suggested that Kasich was "getting in the gutter" and undermined him by cynically proclaiming that Republicans who begin attacking Trump seem "disingenuous" because they have held back…

Ed Schultz has been at the helm of a 30-minute news program on the Kremlin-backed Russia Today for roughly two months and on Thursday night’s edition, the far-left pundit broke ranks to interview a Democratic congressional candidate in Nevada who was reportedly told by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid that he’d be unable to win because he’s Muslim.

In covering Thursday morning's report from the Department of Labor on initial unemployment claims, one of a relatively few economic reports showing strength these days, Associated Press reporter Scott Boak spread his enthusiasm over the result to the entire economy. It wasn't justified. It's as if the poor guy has missed most of the pertinent other economic news during the past week, most of…

On Thursday night’s Politicking with Larry King, the liberal pundit asked West Wing actor Richard Schiff what he thought about Donald Trump and his popularity. After discussing how Trump was a larger-than-life character like Citizen Kane, King asked Schiff: “Do you think it’s Fox News and the right-wing that created Trump?”

I really worry that the Trump movement is a misguided reaction to the abuses of power by the ruling class in Washington, D.C. In our dire predicament, we need to be very thoughtful about our remedy.

A Los Angeles Times story by Liam Dillon and Patrick McGreevy hailed the "historic" increase in the state-mandated minimum wage to $15 an hour. Apparently giddy with excitement, the pair also unwisely told readers that many public-sector employees who earn far more will be receiving big raises as a result of the legislation with having to bother negotiating with the government entities involved…

Donald Trump only said explicitly what his other GOP primary challengers think and what is already in the Republican Party platform, according to Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, who made the assertion to MSNBC's Chris Matthews on tonight's Hardball. Matthews, who the night before said that making abortion illegal was "fascistic," failed to challenge Richards's assertion.
