‘A Historic, Flawlessly Run Campaign’

At some point, we will get past the Gloat Zone. Conservatives will begin to grapple with the difficult business of governance, and move on from the cheap thrills of election schadenfreude. Someday, and perhaps one day soon, we will stop mocking liberals and their idiotic “hot takes,” but my dear friends, today is not that […]

The Coronation of Queen Kamala: Why Are You Peasants Such Racist Sexists?

While I usually watch CNN (so you don’t have to), the past couple of days I’ve tuned into MSNBC to see what the real Kool-Aid drinkers are saying, and oh, boy, let me tell you it’s exciting! New York Times journalist and “Morning Joe” panelist Mara Gay added that the Republicans “first instinct is just […]

On MSNBC ‘Kerosene Maxine’ Labels Republican Voters ‘Domestic Terrorists’

Of all the people to be criticizing inflammatory rhetoric! Some readers may not be old enough to remember why California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters got the nickname “Kerosene Maxine.” During the Rodney King controversy leading up to the deadly 1992 Los Angeles riots, Waters was one of the most irresponsible voices in the South Central […]

It has never been my style to say or do anything merely to “own the libs,” as the kids say, but if owning the libs is what you want to do, then voting for Trump is certainly the best way to do it. Congratulations, then, to Iowa GOP caucus-goers, who provoked unprecedented conniptions in the […]

MSNBC Guest Noura Erakat: ‘You Can Support Israel and Hate Jewish People’

The Unlimited Wretchedness of MSNBC

This morning I switched my office TV to MSNBC — I watch, so you don’t have to — and it quite frankly ruined my whole day. After having watched coverage of the Nashville shooting on Fox News, the thought occurred to me, “Hey, I wonder what they’re saying about this over on Morning Joe?” Because […]

MSNBC’s ‘Right-Wing’ Obsession

Following an afternoon nap, I awoke and returned to my downstairs office where the TV was on Fox News live coverage of the Murdaugh trial in South Carolina, which is the most boring thing in the world and I have no idea why anyone thinks otherwise. There’s no element of suspense to the trial, since […]
