Hostin Calls Bondi an 'Election Denier,' But She Denied Trump 2016 Win
Oh how quickly folks in the liberal media forget their own misdeeds when it’s time to fling mud at the other side. That hypocrisy was again on full display during the Friday edition of ABC’s The View, when cloudy co-host Sunny Hostin lashed out at U.S. Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi.

Column: Is It the End of the Big Media Era?
After Donald Trump won, the media had to think about the unthinkable: doesn’t anyone care about our “news” anymore? How could our relentless anti-Trump messaging fail to land?

Americans Who Would Opt Out of Social Security Even If It Wasn’t Broke
I pull the following directly from the summary of the 2024 annual reports of the Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees: “The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund (that is, Social Security) will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, unchanged from last year’s report.

It had not been a good week for ABC’s The View as they were forced to repeatedly read legal notes after parroting allegations against President-elect Trump’s nominations for cabinet positions.
