The destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the subsequent demise of the Soviet Union two years later lulled the West into a false sense of security. Many appeared to believe that an age of unending peace and prosperity had been ushered in. While terrorism would become a stateless threat, most people probably thought it to be an aberration and at least manageable.

As Americans debate how to reopen our society in the wake of COVID-19, we seem to be breaking down into three groups: first, those who believe the virus isn't particularly serious and desperately want to reopen everything as soon as possible (a small minority of Americans, by polling data); second, those who believe the virus is extraordinarily serious and want everything to remain closed as long…

These are dispiriting days, marked by confusion, fear and very real heartbreak, compounded by misinformation and severe partisanship. People are weary of cowering at home as their livelihoods evaporate, sick of panic and doomsaying and being told their liberty can be forfeited for an emergency that will go on indefinitely if allowed to. So maybe VE Day on May 8 should mean a little more to us…

Facebook is partnering with Soros-funded Poynter’s “Mediawise” project and a progressive news outlet to teach youth how to process media. “ATTN:, the progressive social media-based news outlet aimed at millennials, is launching a video series on Facebook and Instagram, in partnership with Poynter's groundbreaking digital literacy project ‘MediaWise,’” Axios reported in its May 5 coverage.

After new Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany torched the media during yesterday’s press briefing, the liberal hosts of The View spent their show Thursday acting offended and outraged on the press’s behalf, and tried to smear her as a liar and a hypocrite.

Ever the temperamental type, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose took out his anger with the Trump administration on Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin on Monday, May 6. The Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Famer appeared to be spoiling for a fight on social media, bashing Mnuchin seemingly from out of nowhere.

On Thursday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe eagerly touted the latest article from New York Times opinion writer at large Charlie Warzel, in which he warned that “America is Paying A Heavy Price for Freedom” amid the coronavirus pandemic. He compared those protesting against strict stay-at-home orders with gun rights supporters and accused them all of having “a very selfish, a very narrow definition of what…

Trump-obsessed actor Robert De Niro appeared on The Late Show Wednesday to do his usual overwrought complaining about the president with host Stephen Colbert. While ranting about how horrible Trump was, De Niro and Colbert gushed over how great it would be if New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was president, instead.

On Morning Joe, while facetiously claiming not to be a "repeater," Joe Scarborough continues the shtick he's been doing for weeks of endlessly quoting and requoting President Trump's optimistic statements about the epidemic from back in January and February. Even Mika Brzezinski seems clearly to have tired of Joe's act. 

On the late Tuesday/early Wednesday Late Night show on NBC, host Seth Meyers demonstrated that he is so anti-Republican, he devoted an entire commentary to complaining about Democrats who laud former President George W. Bush as they fret over Donald Trump being President in the present. He even made a crude analogy likening praising Bush to praising serial killer Ted Bundy after Jeffrey Dahmer…

NBA superstar LeBron James is bringing in the big progressive guns for his May 16 virtual graduation ceremony for the class of 2020 -- none other than the Obamas. The one-hour special -- "Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class of 2020" -- will celebrate high school seniors across the nation who are losing their commencements to COVID-19 social distancing. It will air on network…

It doesn’t take much effort for liberal journalists to sing the praises of China “outperforming” expectations while hammering America as “disastrously” faltering, especially in response to the coronavirus pandemic. A recent example of this came when David Wertime, the “Editorial Director for China” at Politico, posted an article entitled: “Not the World's Number One': Chinese Social Media Piles…

Sounding as though he was reading the talking points his Democratic governor brother handed to him, CNN host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo raged at President Trump during Wednesday’s PrimeTime, and suggested, “Increasingly, life seems to be getting pretty cheap in America.” And questioned if the Trump administration was still interested in saving lives. This from the guy who infected his family with the…
