NYT's Bret Stephens Apologizes for Comparing Rex Tillerson to Pol Pot
The Twitter website has become the go-to place for people in the “mainstream media” who have said things they wish they hadn’t stated on television. They can then apologize in a format that far fewer individuals will notice. A perfect example of this principle took place on Tuesday, August 22, by Bret Stephens, a right-of-center columnist for the New York Times who was also hired by NBC News and…
The Red York Times: First in Fake News
Newsflash from The New York Times: Women may have starved under socialist regimes, but their orgasms were out of this world!

Charlottesville Donnybrook
Charlottesville, Virginia, a city named after Britain's first black queen, was the scene of a bloody riot Saturday, Aug. 12. The fray resulted in the death of one woman, who was mowed down by a car; plus, there were many other people injured.

Historical Hysteria
"The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history." -- Friedrich Hegel We will learn even less from history if we wipe it clean, as some are trying to do by removing statues of Confederate leaders whose beliefs about slavery and race most, including me, find offensive.

CNN Pushes Fake News About Reagan, Get Annihilated Over Trump Hysteria

Joan Walsh: ‘Creepy’ Liar Pence ‘Far Worse Person’ Than Trump
Just because liberals devote a massive amount of attention to the current POTUS doesn’t mean that they neglect his VPOTUS. In a Tuesday Nation piece, Walsh disclosed, “You probably have these debates with your friends, too: Do we want Donald Trump to resign, or be impeached, which would leave us with Vice President Mike Pence in charge?...Would the low-charisma Pence, who looks like a B-movie…

Morning Joe in Awe of Hillary’s ‘Very Powerful’ Memoir
On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton decided to pass along exclusive excerpts of her new memoir to her pals at MSNBC. Predictably, after playing long clips of the audio version of What Happened, the cast of Morning Joe gushed over Clinton’s “very powerful” narrative and were amazed by her supposed “self-reflection.” In reality, the partisan screed was more about self-pity and sniping at Donald Trump.

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell on Wednesday mocked ESPN for its latest outburst of politically correct craziness.
