In Will Democrats Nix (or Weaken) the Filibuster?” New York Times “On Politics” newsletter editor Giovanni Russonello went beyond the usual liberal media whining over the filibuster -- a legislative technique invoked by senators to prevent or delay a vote on a bill -- to hint that Republicans are abusing the process in the name of racism: "After the civil rights movement, pushback…

When a politician promises to “tell the truth,” as President Biden did in his nationally televised address  last Thursday, you can add that statement to familiar ones lacking the ring of sincerity. They include: “The gun isn't loaded;” “the microphone is off;” “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” and “I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.”

On Saturday, MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross unabashedly contended that the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters in the District of Columbia should be renamed after failed Democratic politician and left-wing activist Stacey Abrams. Cross decried the FBI’s first director, J. Edgar Hoover, as a “racist tyrant,” a “homophobe,” and a “misogynist” who is unworthy of having the agency’s headquarters…

Like the late Arizona Senator John McCain (R), Arizona Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema is seen as a centrist “maverick.” Yet Sinema’s recent, dramatic thumbs-down voting gesture on the minimum wage was excoriated by The New York Times, not celebrated the way McCain’s similar thumbs-down “no” vote helped preserve ObamaCare in 2017. The Times painted the…

The front page of Sunday’s New York Times celebrated the U.S. Senate’s narrow, party-line approval of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion dollar economic relief package, congressional correspondent Carl Hulse’s “news analysis” still faulted the Republican Party for failing to abide by Biden’s “good intentions” in "Win Shows Quest To Cooperate Is All But Lost.” It’s Hulse’s latest “…

The Speaker of the House has the power to appoint Members of the House of her own party to a House committee. Why is this important? When we talk about the Capitol Hill riot, it’s an important detail. 

On Monday's New Day program on CNN, as the show discussed and showed sympathy for one of its guests who recently received racist hate mail online, there was a conspicuous absence of detail about who sent the offensive mail and even what political issue it involved.

On Tuesday and Wednesday evening, MSNBC’s Joy Reid took to the airwaves to perform her typical race-baiting and ad hominem attacks on those who disagree with her. Displeased by Neera Tanden’s decision to withdraw from consideration for the director of the Office of Management and Budget as her nomination stalled, The ReidOut host fervently denounced Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and…

With the broadcast networks refusing to critically analyze President Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, they were intentionally refusing to tell their viewers about all the wasteful pork-barrel spending Democrats stuffed into it. But while the liberal media were helping the left with their cookout, Wednesday’s edition of the Fox News Channel’s Special Report was giving…

On Monday evening, MSNBC’s Joy Reid devoted a significant amount of time on her show The ReidOut to bash Republicans for their reluctance to increase both the national debt and the federal minimum wage. She also spun Democrats as too wimpy in committing to ending the filibuster. Reid invited one of the most progressive members of the House of Representatives, Pramila Jayapal (D-WA),…

On Thursday, CNN’s Chris “Fredo” Cuomo dedicated over seven minutes of his eponymous show, Cuomo Prime Time, championing the House Democrats' newly passed Equality Act. Cuomo invited left-wing Illinois Congresswoman Marie Newman on to discuss the importance of the Equality Act and to delineate her recent drama-filled feud with her colleague Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

On Friday afternoon, FoxNews.com’s Audrey Conklin torpedoed a claim from Huffington Post reporter Matt Fuller that said Congressman Russ Fulcher (R-ID) was under investigation with Capitol Police for having “manhandled” an African-American female officer at a security checkpoint. Worse yet for Fuller and a few other news outlets, the Capitol Police itself released letter to accompany both…

Last week, I testified before the House Committee on the Judiciary's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties regarding H.R. 40: Examining the Path to Reparative Justice in America. In other words, reparations. This is the first part of the statement I submitted: "Reparations is the extraction of money from people who were never slave owners to be given to people who…

This week, Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., and Jerry McNerny, D-N.J., sent out a series of letters to America's largest communications corporations: AT&T, Alphabet Inc., Cox Communications, Dish Network, Comcast, Apple, Amazon and others. Their letters demanded answers from these corporations on one simple topic: Why would these platforms continue to allow the dissemination of "…
