The White House, Teenagers and Media Bias

Written by David E. Smith

The Trump White House has officially launched a media-bias page on its website — and judging by the hysteria from the legacy press, the Trump Administration hit a nerve. Breitbart reports that the new page highlights falsehoods, distortions, and slanted coverage from the usual suspects. And the reaction from those “objective journalists” tells you everything you need to know.

It’s exciting to see a Republican administration go on offense rather than shrink back.… Continue Reading

Psychological Projection Playbook: How Elites Blame You For What They Do

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

A phrase often attributed to Saul Alinsky, author of “Rules for Radicals,” or to Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi minister of propaganda, is “Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt.” Although attribution for this quote may be spurious, it continues to resonate with millions for a reason.

Psychological projection is part of our common human experience.… Continue Reading

Americans Are Getting Wise to the Left’s Chicanery

Written by Robert Knight

The only good thing to come out of COVID-19 is the public’s awakening to the fact that government officials will lie to us and the media will help them do it.

We might have suspected it, but it had never been so blatantly obvious, at least not since the Vietnam War or the vanishing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

If they lied to us six ways from Sunday about a pandemic and reasons to invade other countries, it’s a sure bet they have been lying to us about many other things.… Continue Reading

Democrats and Journalists Still Avoid Biden’s Decline

Written by Tim Graham

The first excerpts of the Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson book on denying former President Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline have been posted, and you can already sense Democrats don’t want to deal with what they have done.

The book’s title is “Original Sin.” Why the biblical title? The authors write:

“The original sin of Election 2024 was Biden’s decision to run for re-election — followed by aggressive efforts to hide his cognitive diminishment.”

Joe Biden’s Age Will Be an Issue in 2024

Written by Tim Graham

Associated Press reporters were blunt about their latest poll:

“Americans actually agree on something in this time of raw discord: Joe Biden is too old to be an effective president in a second term.”

In the poll, fully 77% said Biden is too old to be effective for four more years, as he would turn 86 in the White House. Naturally, 89% of Republicans agreed — but so did 69% of Democrats and, most importantly for the general election, 74% of independents.… Continue Reading

GOP’s Moral Cowardice Leads to More Concessions, Acceptance of Dems’ Unthinkable Agenda

Written by Robert Knight

What is it with Republicans who try to fight the culture war with one hand tied behind their backs? They shift to a defensive crouch even when their position is clearly right.

G.K. Chesterton mocked this tendency years ago. Some politicians, he wrote, would loudly oppose the deadly mugging of a grandmother in a city park not because it’s immoral but because it would be a “waste of a perfectly good grandmother.”… Continue Reading

CNN’s Mostly False Take on Biden’s Stance on Abortion

Written by Tim Graham

As CNN looks for a new leader, former CNN host Brian Stelter proposed this as the most important question: “What should an anchor do when a guest says something untrue?”

The public could turn this question around: “What should a politician do when a CNN host says something untrue?” The Stelters of this world cannot imagine anyone at CNN would ever say anything false. They arrogantly presume they always defend the “truth.”… Continue Reading

Joe Walsh Wants More Bipartisanship, Which Means Less Joe Walsh

Written by Peter Heck

I admit I know very little about former one-term congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois. Some quick online research reveals that he was a tea party activist elected in the anti-Obamacare Republican wave of 2010. During his short tenure in office, Walsh appears to have carved out a reputation as a staunch and sometimes harsh critic of former President Obama, and a reliable vote for conservative policy.

When he lost his re-election bid to Tammy Duckworth in 2012, Walsh went on to host a conservative talk radio show before announcing a presidential primary run against Donald Trump‘s re-election bid in the 2020 cycle.… Continue Reading

Jake Tapper and Chuck Todd Prove (Again) Why Media Trust is So Low

Written by Peter Heck

When Gallup released the results of their recent Coronavirus crisis trust poll, I can’t help but think there were several jaws that hit the floor in America’s newsrooms. Having asked the American people whether they approved or disapproved of the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic by a host of various leaders and institutions, there was only one that found more disapproval than approval, on average.

President Trump? No, by a wide 22 points, Americans approved of his leadership.… Continue Reading

The Left Stokes Racist Flames and Demonizes Millions

Written by Dr. Michael Brown

It is insidious to watch the left do its dirty work of demonization. It starts with a narrative constructed on false accusations and misleading innuendos. Then, the narrative is repeated enough until it becomes accepted truth. Finally, wider conclusions are drawn from it, casting ugly aspersions on the innocent.

In the current iteration, the narrative began with accusations that President Donald Trump was a white supremacist and racist, fueled by selective quotes from his Charlottesville press conference.
