Manafort Indictment Inspires Rolling Stone Hope for Quick Trump Exit
It's gonna happen! Paul Manafort has been indicted and...and that means that Donald Trump will soon be leaving office. That pretty much sums up the attitude of Rolling Stone writer Bob Dreyfuss who, upon hearing the news about Paul Manafort's indictment, just couldn't contain himself over the fantasy that this will lead to a quick exit, via resignation or impeachment, of President Donald Trump…

Steyer's 'Impeach Him' Ad Appears Before Stirring Game 5 Anthem
If timing is everything, billionaire far-left environmental alarmist Tom Steyer may have been snookered by Fox TV. Before Sunday night's World Series Game 5 broadcast in at least some TV markets, Fox carried Steyer's unhinged ad. It was soon followed by country music artist Clay Walker's stirring rendition of the national anthem — and from all appearances, there wasn't a kneeler or a raised fist…

With Manafort News Breaking, CBS Turns to Dem Senator for Reaction
With the breaking news that ex-Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort has been charged with tax fraud, who would be the ideal person to talk about it? According to CBS This Morning on Monday, it’s the liberal, partisan Democrat Amy Klobuchar. Co-host Norah O’Donnell eagerly wondered, “So, the question has always been about collusion and the Trump campaign which remains the open question,…

NYT Skips Lefty Labels, Hateful Speakers, 'Impeach!' at Women's Rally
Sunday’s New York Times featured Monica Davey reporting from the hard-left, anti-Trump “Women’s Convention” held in Detroit last weekend: “At Women’s Convention, Sustaining Momentum With Focus on Elections.” Davey managed not to notice the monolithic left-wing ideological component of the convention, featuring groups heavily funded by left-wing billionaire donor George Soros. There was not a…

Media Slammed For Burying Kevin Spacey Allegations in Coming Out Story
What’s a more important story: an actor most people suspected to be gay coming out and confirming it, or an accusation of pedophilic harassment aimed at the same actor?

Did ABC's 'The View' Bleep Out Jesus?
On Friday's episode of The View, there was a panel discussion on whether "some" of Judeo-Christianity's Ten Commandments are "obsolete." During that discussion, co-host Paula Faris mentioned "Jesus" twice. A video of the segment at the show's YouTube channel cuts the audio both times Faris uttered His now apparently forbidden offensive name.
CBS’s Madam Secretary is trying to convince us of so many things that might be true in the liberal world but not in the real one. First, it was about the massive damage that can be caused by fake news. Then, it was about the “truly heroic” status of the non-essential government employee. This week, we tackle the “virtually non-existent” crime rate of refugees.

'The Deuce' Finale Just One More Hour of Promoting Porn on HBO
We’re finally at the season finale for HBO’s The Deuce, and, as expected, the only joy I had was knowing I can spend a year never seeing it again. As far as finales go, you won’t be seeing anything new you couldn’t already get from seven episodes of sex, sex, and more sex with a dash of gay agenda thrown in for good measure.
