Democrat Ilhan Omar Sure Hates Jews — and the Media Sure Are Protecting Her

  Ace of Spades calls attention to the fact that CNN “reporter” Manu Raju is a Trump-hating partisan Democrat propagandist, and one of the examples of Raju and CNN’s dishonesty is how they’re making excuses for Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism: Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is defending her controversial views on […]

The Fetid Left-Wing Origins of @chick_in_kiev (Talia Lavin)

  You may not remember the name Talia Lavin, but her anti-American prejudices were revealed in June 2018 when she falsely accused an ICE agent of having a neo-Nazi tattoo. It turned out that, in fact, the ICE agent was a Marine veteran who lost both his legs to a Muslim terrorist’s bomb in Afghanistan […]

My Kind of People: Junior Johnson and the End of the American Way of Life

NASCAR legend Junior Johnson and his 1940 Ford. My wife has recently re-arranged my office and, in the process, moved some books that I hadn’t read in a while, so the other day I picked up Tom Wolfe’s The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (1965) and began re-reading it. The best journalism — and Tom Wolfe, […]

As I explained Wednesday (“Who Keeps Paying BuzzFeed’s Bills?”), the company has devoured nearly $500 million in investment capital since […]

How Anti-Christian Bias in #FakeNews Media Is Encouraging Anti-Semitism

  This is a topic I am reluctant to write about, but in the wake of the Covington Catholic school story, the elephant in the room is now so large that it is more dangerous to ignore it than to mention it: It’s rare to see a major media outlet be so honest about its […]

‘An Important Discussion’

  Three weeks ago, the shooting death of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes in Houston was all over CNN, but the story disappeared once police arrested two black suspects in the drive-by shooting (see “Media’s Anti-White Bias Makes Houston Drive-By Shooting National News,” Jan. 7). However, Ashe Schow offers this thoughtful update on the case: The family […]

Would You Hire @ChloeAngyal? (With Extra Special Bonus Schadenfreude)

  Following up on Friday’s post (“‘Learn to Code’ and the Collapse of the Millennial SJW Clickbait Bubble”), we come to the case of now-unemployed Huffington Post deputy opinion editor Chloe Angyal. Professor Reynolds reminds us of the fact that after Dr. Angyal undertook this job, she focused on increasing “diversity” in HuffPo’s opinion columns […]
