Scarborough Slaps At MSNBC Sore Losers Crying 'CRT Not Real'

Scarborough: On Voting Rights, GOP Like Wallace 'In Schoolhouse Door'

On Morning Joe, Lefty Brit Journo Sees 'Beginning of End' for Facebook

WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki PUSHES for Big Tech to Censor More

The most serious charge against General Milley is that, without notifying the President and Commander-in-Chief, Milley agreed to give China advance notice of an impending attack.

NBC's Engel Blasts Biden: 100 Times Worse than Saigon
In all my many years of blogging MSM outbursts against Republican presidents, I've never seen anyone angrier Richard Engel about Biden's Afghanistan fiasco. Well, there was Keith Olbermann. But for present purposes, let's leave aside the clinically disturbed. In a piece with which Morning Joe opened today's show, Engel absolutely unleashed on the Biden administration. Rolling heartbreaking…
