To say it was a bad look would be an insult to bad looks.
Over the weekend, Jonathan Karl, host of ABC’s Sunday morning talk show “This Week” humiliated himself in a conversation with U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR).

One of the worst sycophantic performances I’ve seen coming from a mainstream network anchor.
I am a fan of Tom Cotton. Consistently, I find him to be measured, mild mannered, affable, and, on the rare occasions where I disagree with him, reasonable and logical in his approach to issues.… Continue Reading

The lies were thick and fast all week at the Democratic National Convention, but never so blatantly as they were in Vice President Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech.
The Democratic presidential nominee accused her opponent, former President Donald Trump, of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare (he has not); being weak on border enforcement (he had it under control before President Biden and Ms. Harris took office) and sending an “armed mob” to the Capitol on Jan.… Continue Reading

Ahead of the Democratic National Convention this week, “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream rattled off the latest batch of battleground state polls from New York Times/Siena College to U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), which showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by 5 points in Arizona and by 2 points in North Carolina. She also referenced two new national surveys from ABC News/Washington Post and CBS News showing Harris ahead of Trump by 4 points and 3 points in those respective states.… Continue Reading

In 2008, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama said he wasn’t surprised that people from “small towns in Pennsylvania, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, clung to [their] guns or religion.” This wasn’t a compliment. He thought those people were “weird.”
In 2016, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the same group of people Mr. Obama disparaged a “basket of deplorables,” She went on to say we were “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic [and] you name it,” just plain “weird.”… Continue Reading

This coming November, remember the incessant lies you’ve been told. Remember how you’ve been gaslighted.
Remember, you were told that President Biden was competent, healthy and sharp in mind and body and that those who pointed out the signs of dementia he showed were guilty of “cheap fakes.”
Remember, they said Mr. Biden was the last line of defense against an existential threat to democracy while he and his party were sidestepping the democratic process to install their real nominee without a single voter casting a single vote.… Continue Reading

On the same day that President Joe Biden implied Jan. 6 was a darker day than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, leftist protesters fought and shoved police and burned the American flag near the Capitol. They pulled down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. Some flew the Hamas flag and vandalized monuments with spray-painted slogans like “Hamas is comin'” and “I commend Hamas.”
The occasion was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to a joint session of Congress.… Continue Reading

As the Democrats struggle among themselves over President Joe Biden’s declining mental state and his declining poll numbers, it did not have to end up at this impasse. The Democrats and all their “mainstream” media enablers who claim they love democracy didn’t want any serious or rigorous primary challenge for Biden.
Is it possible that Democrats are still haunted by Ted Kennedy challenging President Jimmy Carter in 1980? The parallels between Carter and Biden on foreign fecklessness and domestic inflation are obvious.… Continue Reading

One of the most chilling scenes in the anti-communist 1965 film “Dr. Zhivago” shows the doctor returning to his Moscow home after forced duty in the Red Army.
The Bolsheviks overthrew the czar and took power in Russia in the October Revolution of 1917.
As his wife, Tonya, gives him a hug and a silent warning, Yuri looks around and sees dozens of people unrelated to him. What was once the Zhivagos’ home — a large, magnificent house — is now a sordid commune crammed with state-sponsored squatters.… Continue Reading

It’s hard to believe, but our “news” media think U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito‘s wife hanging a flag upside-down outside their home for a few days is a much more serious matter than an attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022. That story was quickly squashed.
Start with taxpayer-funded National Public Radio, which never managed to produce a single feature story on the foiled Kavanaugh assassination but has provided multiple stories in the Alito flag frenzy.… Continue Reading

Much has been said about the Harrison Butker situation over the course of the last few days, but I wonder if anyone has paused to consider how violative the secular progressive left is right now of their own rules of inclusion and open-mindedness.
A few years ago, I watched a commencement address at a moderately sized public university. The speaker spent nothing short of 25 minutes warning the graduates about the perils of homophobia, transphobia, climate change, and more than a few other buzzwords associated with our state religion.… Continue Reading
