MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss dropped by Thursday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports to preview President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address and to warn that “we could be a dictatorship next year,” which means that Biden is akin to FDR warning about the Nazis and the Japanese prior to World War II.

In the aftermath of “from the river to the sea” anti-Israel protests on many college campuses and in the streets comes a perfectly timed book by Johns Hopkins University Professor Benjamin Ginsberg titled “The New American Anti-Semitism: The Left, The Right, and the Jews.” Professor Ginsberg is especially hard on progressives and urges American Jews to move away from their longtime support of…

The war between Hamas and Israel forces everyone to recognize an uncomfortable truth: Immigration is a foreign-policy issue.

MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss joined Thursday’s Alex Wagner Tonight to recap what the chyron described as President Biden’s “fourth address on saving democracy” and the previous night’s GOP debate.

In his address to Congress on Dec. 8, 1941, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt said: “… we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

For four years, the liberal media would scream from the rooftops about how President Trump was “destroying our democratic institutions.” But ABC, CBS, and NBC were nowhere to be seen Wednesday night following the first meeting and swearing-in of President Biden’s commission to reshape the Supreme Court in the way only radical liberals benefitted from (either with court-packing or taking away…

“Experts” predicted 1 million jobs would be created in April. The actual number fell far short, at 266,000.
