Budget Gimmicks: D.C. Labels Everything an ‘Emergency’ to Spend More
September 25th, 2023 11:51 AM
Did you survive the budget cuts from the last debt ceiling fight? President Joe Biden called them “draconian,” while Republicans praised the deal’s “historic reductions in spending.” But both parties conned us, as my new video explains. What they call “cuts” were just a reduction in their planned spending increase. Instead of raising spending by 7.8%, they increased it by “only” 3.9%. Only…

Sinking Ship: Nets Avoid Kamala Hiring Child Actors to Pose With Her
October 12th, 2021 8:57 PM
Just as they were ignoring her mishandling – or lack of handling – of the southern border crisis (amid a litany of other duties), the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) avoided covering Vice President Kamala Harris’s latest embarrassment: hiring child actors to play the role of kids interested in going to space and careers in the sciences for a YouTube video. Funnier yet, the kids were…

Psaki Doesn't Apologize for Mocking Space Force, Lies About Cabinet
February 3rd, 2021 10:50 PM
On Thursday’s episode of the White House press briefing, Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused to apologize for having mocked the Space Force a day earlier and skimped on funding schools that teachers unions have kept shuttered, and falsely claimed that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was the first openly gay cabinet secretary.
The Private Space Race
July 29th, 2020 5:09 PM
This week, American astronauts will return to earth. Their trip to the space station was the first manned launch from the U.S. in 10 years. By NASA? No. Of course, not. This space flight happened because the government was not in charge. An Obama administration committee had concluded that launching such a vehicle would take 12 years and cost $36 billion. But this rocket was finished in half…

Netflix ‘Space Force’ Parody Puts AOC in Her Place
June 5th, 2020 2:30 PM
Netflix is airing Space Force, a parody of the United States Space Force, the space warfare service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces established by President Trump. The ten episodes began streaming on May 29. The series is not being very well-received because there is little to make it a worthwhile binge, despite a good cast. Liberals are particularly irritated that what could have…
Apollo 11 at 50
July 16th, 2019 4:55 PM
You had to be there 50 years ago, and I was. As a young reporter for a local TV station in Houston, I frequently visited NASA (“the space base,” we dubbed it), met many of the astronauts and reported on their exploits. Along with people from around the world, I watched the lunar landing on television, July 20, 1969, fulfilling President Kennedy's goal of putting a man on the moon by the end of…

Sneaky Ways Sean Penn’s New Sci-Fi Show Pushes a Liberal Agenda
September 20th, 2018 6:00 PM
Hulu’s latest original series The First, which debuted on September 14, is an interesting, non-partisan science-fiction series set in the 2030s surrounding the trials of NASA astronauts on the first mission to Mars …most of the time. Starring raving lefty lunatic Sean Penn, you might be surprised to learn the series manages to keep politics out of the main plot. Sadly, it fails to leave its…
Neil Armstrong Biopic Skips Patriotism, Flag on the Moon
August 31st, 2018 9:12 AM
Sheila Jackson Lee was right! The astronauts must have planted an American flag on Mars because, according to Hollywood, they didn’t put one on the moon.
The new Neil Armstrong biopic First Man starring Ryan Gosling records the astronaut’s iconic small step, but ignores the other iconic moment from the 1969 moon landing: Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planting the American flag.
Not News: Study Claims It Invalidates EPA's Global Warming 'Finding'
July 6th, 2017 6:06 PM
A peer-reviewed research report published last week by three highly qualified researchers with the agreement of seven others similarly accomplished charges that the entities reporting historical and current worldwide temperatures have adjusted their data to show global warming which has not actually occurred. The trio has concluded that this data is "not a valid representation of reality," and…

PBS Touts ‘Interconnection’ Between Climate Change, Hurricane Matthew
October 6th, 2016 8:55 PM
On the heels of my Drudge Report-linked post about NBC’s Ron Allen informing MSNBC on Wednesday that the Paris climate change deal “is designed to stop” weather events like Hurricane Matthew, Thursday’s PBS NewsHour joined ranks of the absurdity as Judy Woodruff and guest Gavin Schmidt from NASA pondered the “interconnection” between the two.
IBD Notes Three Global Warming Stories The U.S. Press Has Ignored
December 27th, 2015 10:17 AM
Yesterday, I noted that Associated Press reporter Karl Ritter actually wrote, and AP actually published, a story about how complying with the Paris climate agreement would require greenhouse gas emissions "To Drop Below Zero."
Perhaps Ritter, whose beat includes "cover(ing) climate change, from UN negotiations to Arctic melt," looked around and realized that if he didn't put out something…
NYT Celebrates Christmas With Left-Leaning Naughty-or-Nice List
December 25th, 2015 5:30 PM
The New York Times’ Christmas Day editorial got off to a wonderful start with a tribute to the astronauts of Apollo 8, the first humans to orbit the moon. But it quickly fell back to earth, as the liberals on the editorial board took advantage of the season to interpret peace on earth and goodwill toward men as a Christmas wish list for the left wing, celebrating Black Lives Matter, gay marriage…
MSNBC: 2.7-Degree Celsius Temps Change Same As 37 Degrees Fahrenheit
November 9th, 2015 3:32 PM
At the math-challenged mess known as MSNBC, the network's "all new video experience" known as "Shift by MSNBC" tweeted a dire warning: "Latest UN report says humanity will warm the planet by 2.7˚C or roughly 37˚F." Though not revealed in the tweet, this warming will allegedly occur by 2100.
If MSNBC's conversion were true, it would of course mean that the earth as we know it is in dire straits.…
NASA Spotlights NY Times's Epic Blunder About Basic Physics
July 17th, 2015 3:56 PM
The New York Times bills itself as "all the news that's fit to print," but the liberal newspaper has made some spectacular stumbles over the years. On Friday, the Twitter account of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center spotlighted the 46th anniversary of the Times making a significant correction to a claim made on its editorial page – that a rocket wouldn't be able to operate in the vacuum of space…
