The Atlantic: Look! Pro-Life Women Exist
We shouldn’t be surprised that the liberal media is frustrated over the fact that pro-life conservatives won a monumental battle in Texas on July 13. HB-2, which was signed into law by Gov.

On Detroit Bankruptcy, All Three Networks Skip the Sky High Taxes, Dem
All three networks on Thursday night and Friday morning avoided key factors in the bankruptcy of Detroit, skipping the city's astronomically high tax rate and ignoring Democratic dominance for the previous half century. (Detroit's last Republican mayor left office in 1962.) Instead, ABC, NBC and CBS acted as though the bankruptcy, what Brian Williams called "the slow-moving tragedy of decline…

ABC, CBS and NBC to Viewers: IRS Scandal? Please, That's Old News
The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks have essentially censored the latest IRS scandal news.

NPR Story on Choosing Your Own Gender Pronouns? 'Most of Your Comments
NPR announced to its listeners on Thursday night's All Things Considered that their audience is chock full of "tolerant" lefties. Dipping into letters from the audience, anchor Melissa Block said there were "a lot of strong reactions" to Tuesday's ludicrous one-sided story by Margot Adler on young people demanding to be whimsical about gender pronouns and redefining the "gender binary."

MSM Wall of Silence on Union Criticism of ObamaCare
CNN found time to broadcast a story about a "neighbor from hell" but as to harsh labor union criticism of "healthcare from hell," not a word. Not only is CNN maintaining a wall of silence on union opposition, expressed in a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, to ObamaCare but pretty much the rest of the mainstream media, with the notable exceptions of the Wall Street Journal and Fox News,…

Mika Muses: Did Liz Cheney Ask Rollins to Call Her 'Bored Housewife' A
Trying to decide which is the bigger story here: 1. Mika Brzezinski speculating that Liz Cheney asked Ed Rollins, as a favor, to call her a "bored housewife"; or 2. Joe Scarborough saying that whenever he imitates Zbigniew Brzezinski's accent, Brzezinski beefs that he's making him "sound like a rabbi."
You be the judge. Both happened on today's Morning Joe. Liz Cheney has taken some heat…

Walter E. Williams Column: Egyptians Need Economic Freedom
What Egyptian citizens must recognize is that political liberty thrives best where there's a large measure of economic liberty. The Egyptian people are not the problem; it's the environment they're forced to live in. Why is it that Egyptians do well in the U.S. but not Egypt? We could make the same observation about Nigerians, Cambodians, Jamaicans and many other people who leave their homeland…

Yet Another Federal Court Rebukes Obama for Unconstitutional Appointme
Back in May I noted that the Big Three broadcast networks failed to report on the Third Court Court of Appeals issued a ruling invalidating an Obama recess appointment that was made when the Senate was technically in session. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals made a similar ruling in late January.
