Then and Now
Getting my parents and grandparents to talk about their experiences during the Great Depression and World War II was always difficult. They lived in the pre-Dr. Phil generation before people went public with their deepest thoughts.

The New York Times used the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to unleash hostile anti-Trump opinion on its front page Wednesday in a “news analysis” by Lisa Friedman and Brad Plumer that played the tired trope of Trump vs science: “Science Speaks (But President Rarely Listens).” There was an awful lot about "climate change" in this story ostensibly about Trump's response to the coronavirus…

What? Karl Claims Allegations Against Biden 'Being Covered' By Media
Apparently someone needs to give ABC’s Jonathan Karl a heads up on what his own network is ignoring. Appearing on Fox News this morning to promote his new Trump book, the ABC White House correspondent defended the media’s near blackout of the sexual assault allegations against Democrat frontrunner, Joe Biden. Karl absurdly pointed to a Washington Post story from this morning as evidence that the…
Worried WashPost: ‘Calls Grow’ for Biden to Talk Tara Reade
The Washington Post may be getting worried. As Joe Biden’s personal silence on Tara Reade (and her sexual assault accusation against the presumptive nominee) continues, the Post's coverage has taken a turn towards fretting.
