A ‘Sure Thing’ Election That Wasn’t

November 9th, 2022 3:13 PM

MIAMI – If Republicans could not score their “red wave” victories predicted by many pundits – and even some Democrats – in these midterm elections, what’s next for them? All the issues were on their side – inflation, high gas and food prices, an open border, underperforming schools.

Nets Swoon Over Gen-Z Lefty Winning Lefty Seat; ‘I Love That Story!’

November 9th, 2022 2:04 PM

Following most nationwide elections, one of the liberal media’s favorite tropes is to trumpet so-called “historic” winners that assist one in filling out a diversity bingo card.

Crime: CNN Buys Into Liberal Pols' Focus on Guns, Not Criminals

January 25th, 2022 12:01 PM

Liberals like to mock people offering "thoughts and prayers" in response to deadly shootings. But liberals themselves invariably trot out a largely useless approach to such tragedies. They focus on guns, not the criminals who use them. And just like the politicians, the liberal media also buys into this false focus. CNN Monday morning aired a segment on the killing of two law enforcement…
