In Defense of Speaker Mike Johnson
Author Herman Wouk captured well how to understand heroism. “Heroes are not supermen; they are good men who embody — by the cast of destiny — the virtue of their whole people in a great hour,” observed Wouk. We have today an American hero in the name of House Speaker Mike Johnson. Anyone with eyes open knows the world today is a very dangerous place.
Foreign Policy Splits the Parties
In 2024, foreign policy doesn’t pit Republicans against Democrats so much as it pits Republicans against Republicans and Democrats against Democrats. For Joe Biden’s party, Israel is the fault line, with Democrats split between supporters of the Jewish State and those of Palestinian sympathies. For the party of Donald Trump, the internal conflict is over Ukraine, and the bitterness of the…
PBS Mourns 'Far-Right' Influence on GOP While Encouraging Far-Left
It was a foreign policy-heavy edition of PBS NewsHour’s weekly Friday news recap segment with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart.

CNN Doesn't Challenge Iranian FM On His Embassy Hypocrisy
CNN’s Erin Burnett sat down with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Thursday's OutFront show to discuss the situation in the Middle East. During their conversation, Burnett did not call out Amir-Abdollahian for bear hugging the Vienna Convention, while Iran has violated it repeatedly over the past several decades.
Stewart Blames America, Capitalism For Foreign Policy Crises
Jon Stewart reacted to the recent developments in the Middle East on Monday’s installment of The Daily Show on Comedy Central by doing his standard bit where he, on one hand, pretended everything was too complicated for him to understand, but on the other, reduced all the world’s foreign policy crises to America’s love of capitalism.
AOC Spreads Hamas Propaganda, But Colbert Claims GOP Reads In Cyrillic
CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Monday’s edition of The Late Show for a three-segment appearance where the duo would hurl outrageous accusations at Israel while accusing Republicans of being Russian propagandists.

Stewart Compares Israel To Russia, Blames It For Iranian Revolution
On Monday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, Jon Stewart declared that Israel is not that different from Russia, which would make its American defenders hypocrites. Later, Stewart welcomed CNN/PBS’s Christiane Amanpour, where he further accused Israel of being a bad history student, but it was clear that it was Stewart who needed to reread his history books.
Reid Gets Triggered By D.C.'s Reagan And Dulles Airport Names
MSNBC’s Joy Reid and The ReidOut’s assembled panel reacted on Friday to the efforts by some Republicans to name D.C.’s Dulles International Airport after Donald Trump and Democrats’ response of trying to name a federal prison after him by getting triggered at the eponyms currently on D.C.’s two airports: John Foster Dulles and Ronald Reagan. Reid even admitted that she refuses to call…
Amanpour Tries to Hide Smiling at Israel Being Told 'To Go F Itself'
PBS’s Amanpour and Company is, apparently, where irony goes to die. On the Wednesday show, first aired on CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour welcomed alleged comedian Bassem Youssef, who has family in Gaza, to lament double standards in media coverage on Israeli and Palestinian suffering while the latter told Israel “to go F itself,” something no media personality would ever…
Meyers Demands Biden Stop Arming Israel To Save Country From Trump
Ever since October 7, the network late night comedians have largely stayed away from the Israel-Hamas War, but that changed on Wednesday when NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers demanded that President Joe Biden stop supplying weapons to Israel for the sake of his own re-election effort. Meyers failed to see that he was urging Biden to do exactly what Donald Trump was impeached for.
The Biden Middle East Delusion
This week, the Biden administration took the first step toward what appears to be an inevitable break with Israel in Israel's war to extirpate the terrorist group Hamas from the Gaza Strip. Since Hamas' vicious terror assault on Israel on Oct. 7 -- an attack that killed at least 1,200 Israelis and left 250 Israeli hostages in Hamas' hands -- Israel has taken extraordinary measures to protect…
China Hawk Donald Trump and the Bloodbath of Media Credibility
Watching on television as former President Trump spoke at an event in Dayton, Ohio, as I did, his speech made perfect sense.
Poll Shows Trump Up On Israel/Gaza, CNN Scoffs 'World Is Upside Down'
CNN’s Dana Bash took time on Friday’s edition of Inside Politics to discuss some of the network’s latest polling data that showed Donald Trump with a 20-point lead over Joe Biden on who would do a better job on the issue of Israel and Gaza. Bash simply couldn’t believe as she scoffed that “the world is upside down.”
