Whitewashing the 'Red Line,' Part 1: WaPo 'Fact-Checker' Kessler Disco
As expected, the establishment press's excuse-makers have come out to defend the indefensible, claiming that President Barack Obama's Wednesday assertion in Stockholm that "I did not set a red line" with Syria and chemical weapons doesn't contradict his oft-quoted August 2012 "red line" statement.

Back to school is an exciting time of year – new classmates, new subjects, new books, new gender and a new court-invented right to use the boys or girls room, depending on how you currently “identify.”

WashPost Allows Reagan Historians to Decry 'Ahistorical Caricature' as
Kudos to the Outlook section editors at The Washington Post for allowing presidential historians Steven Hayward, Paul Kengor, Craig Shirley, and Kiron Skinner to address how the movie “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” is inaccurate and unfair about Reagan, who they say proved his lack of bigotry in Dixon, Illinois, in Hollywood, and in the White House.

Politico's Dylan Byers: 'Iraq Casts Shadow' Over Media Coverage of Syr
It's been a decade since the U.S. and its coalition of nations invaded Iraq and sent Saddam Hussein scurrying to an underground bunker.

WashPost Publishes Op-ed: 'Sex Between Students and Teachers Should No
Anyone who's argued The Washington Post is conservative based on its editorial pages is going to look silly today. Saturday's paper featured an op-ed with the online title "Sex between students and teachers should not be a crime." In the paper, it's watered down to "Sex happens, even in school."
The liberal offender is Betsy Karasik, a lawyer-turned-painter. For pure mythology, nothing beats…
