Predictable Commencement Addresses Cap Off College Indoctrination
June 8th, 2022 9:20 AM
What comes to mind in the month of June? Weddings. Vacations (and how to pay for record high gas prices if you’re driving). Graduations. Time was when many commencement speeches at major universities were about America and its values and what graduates could expect in the future.

Hateful Joy Reid: It’s Racist to Oppose Far-Left For the People Act!
March 25th, 2021 1:14 AM
Wednesday on MSNBC, ReidOut host Joy Reid peddled the farcical narrative that the For the People Act is necessary for “democracy protection.” With help from former AG Eric Holder, Reid insisted “the GQP” doesn’t want people to vote and, with help from the supposedly racist Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), have been the only ones keeping the “Jim Crow relic” known as the filibuster alive…

CNN's Berman Helps Durbin Bash Barrett, Whine About Her Answers
October 15th, 2020 9:01 AM
It was obvious from the get-go that Amy Coney Barrett is not what leftist CNN and the Democratic Party wanted from a Supreme Court Justice. On Wednesday, CNN’s New Day once again did not even attempt to be fair and gleefully attacked the nominee for her views on abortion. Co-host John Berman remarked: “She made clear that she does not think that Roe v. Wade, or she cited scholarship…

Ignoring a Black Conservative: ABC, NBC Skip Sen. Scott’s Reform Bill
June 17th, 2020 8:47 PM
After previously boasting about Democratic Party pandering (kneeling while wearing marks of the slave trade) and decrying President Trump’s executive order on police reforms, ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News completely ignored the Senate GOP’s Justice Act, a package of police reforms authored by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). And while the CBS Evening News …

Eminently Qualified Kavanaugh Facing Hostile Democrats
September 5th, 2018 12:46 PM
Since Robert Bork’s “borking” 30 years ago, Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for a high court nominee by a Republican president have become predictable. Democrats, who favor a “living Constitution,” meaning whatever they think the founding document ought to say, are pitted against “originalists,” who believe the document speaks for itself and should be taken as something only slightly less…
‘Dreamers’ and Demons
January 31st, 2018 6:29 PM
Xinran Ji, 24, had big dreams. But demons demolished them. The bright hopes of young Xinran Ji, a University of Southern California engineering student from Inner Mongolia, died in 2014 at the hands of a then-19-year-old "Dreamer" and his thug pals. Mexican illegal alien Jonathan DelCarmen, who first jumped the southern border at age 12, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last summer in the…

Good News Vs. Private Conversations
January 18th, 2018 2:55 PM
