Scarborough Rips De Blasio’s ‘Misguided Liberalism’ Running New York

On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough hammered liberal New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for “allowing a homeless epidemic to start spreading across New York again.” The MSNBC host argued that the de Blasio policy of allowing homeless to sleep on the streets was ridiculous just because “some left-winger thinks that this is more humane.

Blogger: Right Doesn’t Care About ‘Evidence or Empirical Results’

Conservatives tend to be religious, but is conservatism itself akin to a religion? Yes, opined Washington Monthly blogger David Atkins in a Sunday post. “Many consider modern conservatism to be an almost cultic movement,” Atkins wrote. “Its adherents long since stopped caring about the evidence or empirical results.

Miami Herald Columnist: Saying 'All Lives Matter' Is 'Moral Cowardice'

Columnist Leonard Pitts may not have caught wind of Thursday's Rasmussen poll before he wrote the column published Saturday at the Miami Herald. Perhaps he still doesn't realize that Rasmussen reported that 64 percent of blacks and 78 percent of likely U.S. voters overall say that "All lives matter" is closer to their own views than "Black lives matter." In his column, Pitts accused what turns…

The Kingmaking Delusions of Jorge Ramos

From time to time we cover the tweets of Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos. An examination of his timeline provides greater depth of understanding of his biases, much more so than can be gleaned from within the constraints of a heavily produced and formatted half-hour evening newscast or weekly talk show.

Bloomberg's John Heilemann Calls Jeb the 'Low-T' Candidate

Old enough to remember when the liberal media tried to pin the "wimp" label on George H.W. Bush, the guy who lied about his age to get into WWII and who is still jumping out of planes decades later? John Heilemann of Bloomberg TV has taken things a vulgar step further with another member of the Bush family. On his With All Due Respect show today, Heilemann called Jeb Bush the "low-T" candidate…

Dem Donor: Hillary's Email Scandal is GOP's 'Swift Boat Issue of 2015'

You can tell that the left is getting nervous about a scandal when they invoke the successful Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth campaign of 2004 against John Kerry. As I noted on Saturday, Maria L. La Ganga at the Los Angeles Times did that as she described Planned Parenthood's attempts to fight back against the Center For Medical Progress's exposure of their baby body parts business.
