Donald Trump

In an lengthy interview with Elon Musk that aired Tuesday on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity (and taped late last week), President Trump unsurprisingly found time to lambaste the “bad,” “dangerous,” “horrible” liberal media as he and Musk have stood up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to shrink and tame the leviathan that is the federal government.

The Trump, Musk, and DOGE-deranged media, consumed with their efforts to undermine government accountability and reform as voted upon by the American people, have completely omitted from viewer consideration a critically important development across our southern border: the CIA’s no-longer-secret drone flights over Mexican cartel laboratories.

On CNN This Morning, Dispatch co-founder Jonah Goldberg says Trump has a "goldfish's memory" of history, but that he subscribes to a 19th-century notion of spheres of influence. He thus sees the US's sphere of influence as the Americas and Europe, while Putin and Xi have their spheres of influence, in which Putin gets Ukraine, Xi gets Taiwan, and the US gets Panama. Per Goldberg, Trump…

Through the first four weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, the late night comedians have told 761 jokes about him. By contrast, in 2021, during President Joe Biden’s first four weeks in office, the late night comedians told a total of 88 jokes about the new chief executive, according to an MRC study.

Actor George Clooney traveled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday to promote the stage adaptation of his 2005 movie Good Night, and Good Luck about Edward R. Murrow and McCarthyism. With modern-day politics an obvious backdrop, Clooney urged journalists to be on the “right side of history” even if it “is not fun at the moment.”

We have arrived at the stage of DOGE derangement wherein the media are now poring over the words President Donald Trump uses in describing the ongoing program cuts across several government agencies. Quite frankly, we haven’t seen this much analysis over the definition of a word since Bill Clinton tried to question the meaning of what is is.

The online title to the latest “On Democracy” segment on Monday’s PBS News Hour gave away the slant of the newly hatched series – fear porn to attract liberal viewers during the second Trump Administration: “How the start of Trump’s second term looks like some autocracies”: "President Trump's social media post over the weekend, 'He who saves his country does not violate any law,'…

The Trump administration dealt a massive blow to the censorship “nerve center” of the federal government. 

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s Inside Politics, aviation correspondent Pete Muntean told host Dana Bash that it appeared the Delta Airlines flight that crashed in Toronto on Monday did so due to a landing gear malfunction. He also noted how there is no common thread linking it with other recent plane crashes, but that didn’t stop Bash and her assembled panel from noticing “this…

PBS’s regular Monday political conclave with Cook Political Report’s Amy Walter and NPR White House reporter Tamara Keith ran hotter than usual, with concerns about President Trump’s purported assault on the First Amendment fanning the fear flames, leading the panel to make ridiculous defenses of the non-partisan (!) Associated Press.

The credit card statement contained an unfamiliar charge. I called the fraud department which canceled the payment and immediately sent me a new card. If only the federal government responded with similar alacrity. Instead, the reaction from the exposure and rooting out of fraud – mostly from Democrats – has been shouting profanities and demonstrating outside federal government buildings. Some…

HBO’s John Oliver kicked off the 2025 season of Last Week Tonight on Sunday by recapping the first four weeks of Donald Trump’s return to the White House that included a bit on Elon Musk and DOGE. Oliver would label Musk as “one of the worst white guys South Africa has ever produced” while ignoring questions about whether South Africa really needs or deserves aid. On Monday, Oliver…

Dear readers, we regret to inform you that the new and by-no-means improved CBS Evening News is at it again. This time, turning an otherwise serviceable report on the disappearance of Washington’s birthday into a vessel with which to take a shot at President Donald Trump.

The ongoing effort to smear the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its related federal job cuts has officially pivoted to the ridiculous. In an over-the-top piece for NBC Nightly News, Senior White House Correspondent Kelly O’Donnell politicizes the firings while completely burying the lede.
