‘The Best People’: MSNBC’s Podcast for Trump Derangement Syndrome Sufferers

Has anyone else ever wondered what happened to Nicolle Wallace? She entered politics as a Republican Party operative, becoming press secretary for Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at age 27, in which role she helped fight the month-long battle over the 2000 Florida election recount. Wallace joined the White House staff during George W. Bush’s first […]

‘Revenge for What, Brian?’

The coverage on CNN — and all the other mainstream media — frames the story the same way: Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a grand jury because of “Trump’s revenge.” The context of what Comey actually did is an afterthought, if mentioned at all, and the accusation of perjury and obstruction is […]

‘It Rubs the Lotion On Its Skin’: Creepy Killer Trannies and Their Media Enablers

Every website on the planet is full of commentary about the massacre at Annunciation Catholic Church School in Minneapolis, and I’ll just briefly quote from the New York Post article: The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified as a transgender […]

Reluctantly, I Add My Two Cents to the World-Historic Sydney Sweeney Discourse

When […]

Is NPR’s Popularity Waning, or Has Their Appeal Become More Selective?

Excuse me for dropping a Spinal Tap gag in the headline, but I couldn’t help thinking of that line as Republicans in Congress voted to eliminate federal taxpayer funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which is the umbrella organization for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). What put me […]

California Dope Farm Child Slavery and Why Conservative Journalism Matters

Bad news this week for Gov. Gavin Newsom: Ten illegal migrant youths, most of them unaccompanied, were found at a California marijuana farm during a tense immigration raid on Thursday, prompting federal officials to launch an investigation into possible child labor violations. The youngsters, one just 14 years old, were discovered by federal agents at […]

The Worst News Network on the Planet Has Covered Itself in Shame This Week

For the past couple of days, I’ve been watching CNN (so you don’t have to) and — dear merciful God! — there are no words to describe how awful it is. On the other hand, the attempt to describe it gave me an excuse to beat that dead dog again with a 1,300-word opus: Among […]
