Harry Reid, Death of a ‘Statesman?’ Cue the Laughter
Former Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just died. New Hampshire Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's website said: “Harry Reid was a statesman.” Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., tweeted: “America has lost a true statesman with the passing of Harry Reid.” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., tweeted: “Saddened to learn of the passing of Harry Reid -- a statesman, a gentleman and a Democratic institution.” “…
Andrew Yang Proposes a Way Forward
Independents are now America's largest group of voters. After George Bush's presidency, fewer people called themselves Republicans. After Obama's, fewer called themselves Democrats. How will these independents vote? Andrew Yang hopes they'll vote for him. In my latest video, the former Democrat explains why he's started a new party, the Forward Party.
The State of the Media Is Not Good
To borrow from the late President Gerald Ford, the state of the media as 2022 opens is not good. Add all of this up - the insistence on fact free left-wing narratives, the intolerance for dissent and more and quite clearly something is seriously amiss in the American media.
Critics Sneer at ‘American Underdog,’ Faith-Based Audiences
The hard-left sites assault 'fresh' football drama that downplays Christianity. Faith-based movies are hardly catnip for modern movie critics, and the filmmakers in question are partly to blame. That’s starting to change. Solid Christian fare like Risen, The Chosen, I Can Only Imagine and now American Underdog reveal the growth in this maturing genre. Tell…
The Liberal Media’s Bah Humbug Year
Call it the liberal media’s Scrooge-style “bah humbug” of a year - and a few years before that. Take a Google and find headline after headline like these from the recent past up until now: The Columbia Journalism Review - 2018: "Most Americans say they have lost trust in the media."
Hollywood Ignores Woke Bombs, Keeps Pushing Activist Agenda
Upcoming 'Snow White' will be woke ... and the next James Bond, too? Hollywood knows how to send a message, but it sure can be slow reading them.
The Big Government COVID-19 Lie
On Oct. 30, 2020, just days before the presidential election, Joe Biden tweeted, “I'm not going to shut down the country. I'm not going to shut down the economy. I'm going to shut down the virus.” This was a lie. It was a lie because nobody can shut down the virus. Government does not have the power to end disease, as a general matter. When it comes to a wildly transmissible…
Paul on Vaccine Mandates, Inflation, Socialism, and Fights with Fauci
When people criticize Dr. Anthony Fauci, he says: “They’re really criticizing science. Because I represent science.” Pretty arrogant. I assume Fauci is a top-notch scientist. My brother worked with him at the National Institutes of Health and respected him. But power tends to corrupt, and Fauci has been given a lot of power. His department directed tax dollars to the Wuhan Institute of…
Trump Has Earned a Friend
He is alive! Norman Podhoretz is alive, and he agreed to an interview with The Wall Street Journal's very perceptive Barton Swaim this weekend. He says that many of his peers are now deceased but not him, and he certainly did not sound deceased. Bill Buckley and Irving Kristol have given up the ghost, and American political commentary is the poorer for their passing, but Norman is…
Media Shrug at Privacy Violations of Fox Hosts
Say what? The other day in a new episode of the January 6 Committee sham, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked Republican ally, Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, took it upon herself to violate the privacy of Fox hosts Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade by reading aloud their private texts to Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows from January 6.
‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Is the Anti-Woke Blockbuster We Crave
Tom Holland anchors a sweet, superb sequel that honors the web-slinger...and us. You won’t find a better example of fan service done right than “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” It’s silly, smart and occasionally sublime.
The Death of California
In “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” Victor Hugo told the tale of Esmerelda, a gypsy dancer falsely accused of attempted murder, set to be hanged by an unjust state. Quasimodo, the titular hunchback, swings down from the cathedral of Notre Dame and saves her, carrying her off while crying “Sanctuary!” In fact, throughout European history, churches provided places of safe haven for accused…
Deadly Delays in Treatment
COVID-19 deaths are up. Politicians tell us to wear masks and get vaccinated. Amid the fear, I'm surprised that we haven't heard more about two drugs that could make COVID-19 much less of a threat. In blind tests, Pfizer's Paxlovid was found to reduce the risk of hospitalization and death by 89%! It was so effective that Pfizer was advised to stop the tests. “They halted the clinical trials!”…
Medals for Jumping to Conclusions About Jussie Smollett
If Love means never having to say you’re sorry (it doesn’t), then being a member of the media means never having to admit you were wrong (it does). I wouldn’t write about the Jussie Smollett case and his conviction for lying about a hoax he perpetrated if it didn’t reflect something seriously wrong in the culture. Smollett was convicted in Chicago last week of faking an attack by a supposed…
