CNN Fact-Checker Uses Word Games to Argue GOP Are Lying About Illegals

Early Wednesday evening on The Lead, CNN fact-checker and Canadian Daniel Dale teamed up with host Jake Tapper to engage in a sleight of hand to paint Republicans as liars in the government shutdown battle for arguing Democrats want to provide health care for illegal immigrants. In essence, Dale told viewers both here and later on AC360 that those receiving free care are aren…

Krugman’s ‘Fossilized’ Climate Mind Doesn’t Have a Clue About Coal

Bless Paul Krugman’s little birdbrain. The disgruntled propagandist disguising himself as an economist is once again departing from his normal economic mudslinging schtick to kvetch over the climate change boondoogle. It's unclear why he considers himself any kind of authority on this matter when he had just finished nuking his own credibility on economics, but whatever.

Bigger Homes, Better Cars, Longer Lives: The Truth About Today

Have you heard how young people suffer now? Scroll TikTok, Instagram, etc., you see the same message: “Young people today can’t get ahead!” One popular meme says when baby boomers like me were young, “A family could own a home, a car and send their kids to college, all on one income.” “That’s a fantasy,” says economist Norbert Michel. “We are much better off than we were.” My new video takes…

Late Night Shows Receive Their Shutdown Talking Points

On Wednesday, the late night comedians received their government shutdown-related marching orders. To listen to them is no different than any generic Democratic member of Congress who portrays the shutdown as a showdown between Democrats, who want people to have healthcare, and Republicans, who do not.

POMPOUS: CBS’s John Dickerson Whines About SECWAR ‘Come to Pete’ Event

Another day, another pompous and insanely over-the-top editorial to close out CBS Evening News Plus. This time, John Dickerson blesses us with his grandes pensées on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s convocation of his top generals, admirals, and senior enlisted advisers for what has been colloquially termed a “Come to Pete” meeting.

The View Gives Mamdani a Tongue Bath, Gush About His ‘Meteoric Rise’

After celebrating his win in the Democratic Party primary for the mayor of New York City back in June, ABC’s The View welcomed far-left, anti-Semitic, communist candidate Zohran Mamdani to Wednesday’s edition of the show with open arms. The cast fawned for Mamdani and they cooed about his “meteoric rise.” They repeatedly teed him up to knock down his detractors and treated his…

Charlie Kirk and the State of Our Nation

The nation is rightly traumatized by the horrible assassination of Charlie Kirk. The media is filled, also rightly, with give and take trying to understand what can and should be done so that we don’t see more of the same. But unfortunately, much of the expression that I hear is informed by the same misguided sense of right and wrong that brought to fruition the horrible act.

Assata Shakur and Other Parents of Political Violence

As the Trump administration takes on the latest wave of left-wing violence, an obituary reminds us what happens when political killers get away with their crimes. The law never caught up with Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur. She died last Thursday, age 78, an honored guest of Cuba’s Communist regime — and honored, disgracefully, by tenured radicals in America’s universities, too.…

Wikipedia Tastes Well-Earned Backlash Over Effective Media Blacklist

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger published a list of reforms for the heinously biased online encyclopedia, including calling for an end to what amounts to an effective blacklist of right-leaning media, as exposed by MRC Free Speech America. The response was swift.

Free Beacon: Reporter Who Cried Over Trump's Election Now Covers Trump

Collin Anderson at the Washington Free Beacon underlined who is selected to cover the Trump White House. The headline: “Politico Reporter Who Said She Cried Over Trump's Election Now Covers His Presidency.” What could possibly go wrong? When liberal media outlets hire liberals, it’s not a mistake. The liberalism is a qualification.
