WashPost Front Page: 'The Quiet Impact of Obama's Christian Faith'

Within hours of sliming Ted Cruz’s daughters as cartoon monkeys, The Washington Post presses were churning out Wednesday’s front page. At the top, it read “The quiet impact of Obama’s Christian faith.

IBD Decries Media Blackout of FitzGibbon Sex Harassment Scandal

On Monday, I posted on the virtually complete lack of establishment press interest in the story of Trevor FitzGibbon, the former owner of far-left PR firm FitzGibbon Media.

Cuomo: 'White Kid' But Not 'Brown' Muslim Can Bring Clock to School

Near the end of Wednesday's New Day on CNN, during a segment about the top five stories on social media for 2015, co-host Chris Cuomo oddly declared that, "despite all the stats about Christian terrorists," if a "white kid" had brought a homemade clock to school, unlike a "brown" Muslim kid like Ahmed Mohamed, there would have been no assumption that it was actually a bomb.

The Census Bureau reported today that new-home sales in November came in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 490,000.
