ABC Breaks in for Special Report to Dump on Big Beautiful Bill Passage
ABC was surprisingly the only major broadcast network to break in Thursday afternoon for a special report on the House passage of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which he’s slated to sign into law Friday. What was unsurprising, however, was the ABC presented a wholly negative perspective declaring the bill was to “mostly” benefit “the wealthiest Americans” while stating as though it’s a…
ABC, CBS, NBC Peddle Blatantly Biased Propaganda on Big Beautiful Bill
Ahead of its final passage in the House, the big three broadcast networks all gave blatantly biased reports Thursday on their flagship morning shows about President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, and NBC's Today all told the same story, one that devoted noticeably more attention to Democrats as they stalled on the House…
GOP Congresswoman Calmly Shoots Down CBS Fear-Mongering About Medicaid
Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (R-VA) — who represents a swing district encompassing Virginia’s Eastern Shore and much of the Hampton Roads region — took to Thursday’s CBS Mornings Plus and calmly explained the facts behind the Big, Beautiful Bill, specifically changes to Medicaid and its unsustainable path without reform.
WashPost Cries Trump Stopping Illegal Immigration Will Fuel Inflation
The Washington Post once again proved why its journalists know as much about good economics as they do about “austere religious scholar(s)” by arguing President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown would somehow cause inflation to skyrocket. Just try unraveling that oxymoron.
How About Them Apples: CBS Discovers Social Security Is Going Broke
On Thursday, CBS showed some admirable news judgment on CBS Mornings and the CBS Evening News by choosing to inform viewers about a ticking fiscal bomb many fiscal hawks have been warning about for decades, which is Social Security essentially going broke in the next decade. Even though it’s being talked about as a Republican is in the White House, it’s still worth giving…
CBS’s Dickerson Dismisses Big, Beautiful Bill as DOOOOM for the Poor
The embodiment of the kind of acceptable liberal journalist to today’s left, CBS Evening News Plus has always ended with anchor John Dickerson let it rip on whatever issue he desires weighing in on. Increasingly, it’s been political and snide, giving his opinion on how much he loathes Trump and the MAGA agenda. Thursday was no exception as he denounced the Big, Beautiful Bill as…
Yaron Brook: Selfishness, Immigration, War, Love, Liberty and Ayn Rand
Government makes most things worse. Lyndon Johnson launched a War on Poverty; Richard Nixon a War on Drugs. Both had good intentions, but their “wars” do more harm than good. I believed the War on Poverty would lift people out of poverty. At the time I was a naive Princeton student who believed my professors when they said, “It’s wrong that in this rich country, people are poor, so government…
Fix Social Security With American Principles — Ownership
The speed and seriousness with which Donald Trump is shaking up Washington has everyone’s head spinning. If the president called me and asked my advice how he should explain to the American people what he is doing, I would say he should tell every American to read our Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump is working to restore the principles and foundations that the nation’s founders…
How a Black Movement About Freedom Became a Movement About Welfare
The 36 million who watched President Donald Trump’s address to Congress also watched as Congressional Black Caucus member, Rep. Al Green, shook his cane and shouted at the president. When he refused to desist, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed from the chamber. Two days later, in a bipartisan vote, the House censured Green.
Leavitt Praises WashPost Changes, Battles AP, CNN, Politico on Tariffs
On Tuesday’s installment of the White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised the changes owner Jeff Bezos is making at The Washington Post, gave the “new media” seat to Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points, and faced tough questions from across the spectrum on the economy from Fox News, CNN, Politico, and even the Associated Press.
Elon Musk Should Take on Social Security
If I say that Elon Musk is the smartest, boldest, most creative entrepreneur in the world, I don’t think I will get pushback. President Donald Trump’s move to bring him to Washington and put him at the top of a new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, to do the seemingly impossible -- to streamline a vastly outsized government spending behemoth -- injects hope that yes, maybe there is…
Ending the Taxpayer-Funded Blue Pipeline
This week, a massive firefight broke out between Democrats and Team Trump over the White House takeover of the U.S. Agency for International Development. The USAID managed approximately $40 billion in fiscal year 2023; its original mandate, established under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, was to spread American influence across the globe through aid to various governmental and non-…
Musk vs. The Swamp: Will He and Trump Make Real Cuts?
The Department of Government Efficiency has started making moves. The D.C. media are furious about his attempts to cut government agencies. But I take Elon Musk’s side. More efficient government has been promised often. It’s never happened. Instead, government just grew. Sen. Rand Paul showcases stupid government “investments” like the $118,000 study of finger snapping, which the National…
Here Were the Dumbest Moments from Jim Acosta’s Last Show at CNN
Tuesday was the end of an era with Jim Acosta’s 18 years at CNN coming to an end with the showboater choosing to avoid a demotion to weekdays at midnight Eastern and jumping ship with a cartoonish commentary about not “bow[ing] down to a dictator” and not “giv[ing] into the lies.” In the roughly minutes before that, Acosta was unapologetically partisan and went full Homer Simpson dropping a…
