Far-left talk show's latest assault on Republicans is deranged and utterly fact free. It’s hard not to take The View with a grain of salt. Inexplicably, the program remains a TV staple, thriving well into its 25th year on air. It’s currently scrambling to find a Republican punching bag for the other hosts to pummel.

Omicron spreads. The media say, “Governments must act!”

Many have, bringing back mask mandates and closing schools. Do these rules work? No. My new video shows why Florida’s approach is better. Gov. Ron DeSantis ended pandemic restrictions last spring and refuses to impose new ones. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result…

This week, after spending time vacationing in the disease-ridden hellscape known as Florida, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., came down with COVID-19. It was a tragic blow to the irrepressible Instagram star, who was forced to quarantine. But then, like an extraordinarily inaniloquent phoenix rising from the ashes of the dread omicron variant, she returned to her web audience with a…

How do you know when a politician is lying? Answer: when his lips are moving. It’s an old joke, but it fits the Biden administration. The president went to Atlanta last week where he made claims that would have sent a lie detector off the chart. With a tableau of mostly Black people behind him, Biden again asserted without credible evidence that Republicans are trying to stop minorities from…

In an article last February headlined “Do Facebook, Twitter and YouTube censor conservatives? Claims 'not supported by the facts,' new research says,” USA Today's Jessica Guynn wrote, “Despite repeated charges of anti-conservative bias from former President Donald Trump and other GOP critics, Facebook, Twitter and Google's YouTube are not slanted against right-leaning users, a new…

Well this takes the cake. Over there at CNN’s web site, journalist and author Jill Filipovic’s seriously projectionist rant accusing House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and his fellow Republicans of seeking to “undermine” American democracy when it is “at its most fragile in generations.” And what is McCarthy threatening to do? Following Democrats’ precedent, which entirely broke…

Apolitical comic targets Fauci, media for dragging their feet on pandemic spin. Comedians often take their cues from the Democrats and news outlets (but we repeat ourselves). Not Ryan Long. He’s part of a small band of satirists who tell jokes based on reality, not what corrupt reporters say.

Glenn Youngkin recently was elected Virginia's governor partly because he promised to ban teaching of CRT. CRT stands for critical race theory, which argues that every American institution upholds white supremacy. Before Youngkin's surprise victory, the media mocked him for complaining about CRT. NBC's Nicolle Wallace said it isn't even taught in public schools. “That is like us banning the…

This week, the incoming New York City Mayor Eric Adams -- the supposed rational corrective to uber-radical outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio -- announced that he would allow legislation to proceed allowing local voting for 800,000 noncitizens. The same week, the legislature in California took up a bill that would establish single-payer health care in the state, paying for the increase in costs by…

For the third straight day last week, the Chicago Teachers Union canceled classes, choosing to return to virtual learning and citing dangers from the Omicron variant as their excuse. To many, this is seen as nothing more than a teachers’ strike and power grab executed by a union that historically supports Democrat politicians. Democrats send federal aid to the union, and the union then uses it…

Hypocrisy and lies from politicians are so rampant in Washington that hardly anyone pays them much attention anymore. Perhaps that is why our cynicism about so many things political deepens and distrust of our institutions is pervasive. A co-conspirator in all of this is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who has set the middle of the month as his target for changing the filibuster…

Tara Henley had had enough. A longtime producer for the Canadian Broadcasting Company, Henley abruptly resigned, writing of her reasons over there at Substack. In her piece she said this: “For months now, I’ve been getting complaints about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where I’ve worked as a TV and radio producer, and occasional on-air columnist, for much of the past decade....To work…

Media outlets, particularly during the pandemic, propagate fear to boost ratings. It’s a variation of the local TV news story, “Coming up next … what’s in your fridge could kill you.” Dr. Drew Pinsky noticed this disturbing trend, too, except he’s not amused. The doctor, co-host of The Adam and Dr. Drew Show, told listeners about a fresh media trend now that COVID-19 deaths could be…

This week saw the one year anniversary of a violent mob attacking Congress. On the night of the ugly riot, Alec Baldwin, who later in the year would shoot and kill a filmmaker on the set of a movie, viciously tweeted, “Put Ted Cruz in the stocks and throw rotten fruit and buckets of horse piss at him. Then ride him on a rail. Then tar and feather him. And film it. For Netflix.”
