New York Magazine Writer Blames 'Weather Gods' for Ossoff Defeat
The Democrats just blew $30 million on the most expensive congressional race in history and all they have to show for it is a lousy participation trophy. Perhaps the Democrats would have been better off using that money to erect a temple to the Weather Gods.

CNN’s Chalian: No ‘Moral Victory Here’ for Dems in Georgia Defeat
Newly elected Congresswoman Karen Handel handily handed a humiliating defeat to her opponent Jon Ossoff Tuesday night.

Bozell & Graham Column: Joy Reid's Immoral Moment
America was stunned when Jared Loughner pulled out a gun at a Tucson supermarket parking lot in 2011 and shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the head at point-blank range and killed six others. No one recalls any TV pundit wondering whether the people should root for Giffords to survive -- or anyone with the gall to imply her head wound was “self-inflicted.” That was not the case with the shooting…

MSNBC Hits DNC Chair From Left: Are Dems ‘Woke Enough?’
In a interview with Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez during Tuesday’s 10 a.m. ET hour, MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson pressed the party leader on whether Democrats should move even farther to the left: “There’s been a lot of discussion about how the DNC is working on a message of unity when there is a wing of the party that wants to see a more forceful move to the left. How do you…
GA Congressional Race: Debate Moderator Fact Checks Ossoff
Imagine if a candidate during a debate makes a statement so outright erroneous that the debate moderator takes time to fact check him with the truth. A very notable moment you might say. Well, not according to a couple of liberal newspapers, including a local one, who again acted as information cloaking devices by not mentioning the debate moderator correction. This was the case in the June 8…
Politico and AJC Skip Dem Screw Up in Georgia Race
Candidate struck dumb by opponent's question. Would that not strike you as a dramatic moment in a political debate?

In fact many reports headlined the moment that Ossoff was asked by Handel…

Cheering on Blue Atlanta, NY Times Cites ‘Heavy Dollop of Racism'
The front of Thursday’s New York Times featured more wishful thinking on the part of the paper, which is still waiting for that off-year anti-Trump electoral surge: “Atlanta’s Suburbs Wonder if Newcomers Will Turn Them Blue.” Fausset threw some old, extraneous accusations of racism into the bargain, while emphasizing alleged conservative intolerance of liberals (in a world where the evidence…
Media Can’t Stop Whining About ‘Poisonous’ ‘Dangerous’ Trump
Time to send out the waahmbulance for the press because they just can’t stop whining about Donald Trump. President Trump’s pushback against the unfair liberal media has journalists from DC to New York throwing hissy fits. CNN’s Brian Stelter called Trump’s criticisms of the press “poisonous” “attacks” that are “dangerous for the country.” His colleague Jim Acosta claimed Trump was doing “real…
