Kimmel Fails Damage Control Effort After Mocking Mullin As a Plumber

On Thursday, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel tried and largely failed to clean up his Tuesday remarks, where he declared Markwayne Mullin is not qualified to be secretary of Homeland Security because he used to be a plumber.

Column: PBS Smears All Republicans as 'White With Fear'

NewsBusters Podcast: Networks Hate 'Illegal Alien Kills Woman' Stories

Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old college student at Loyola University in Chicago, was shot dead by an illegal alien. The networks hate reporting on crime committed by illegal immigrants. They would insist it’s atypical, and it seems too racist and pro-Trump to cover. News loses to narrative, and that narrative is Trump is ruining everything.

Time to Leave the Social Security Plantation

To repeat what Americans have heard a lot recently, our Social Security system is in very bad shape. Per the most recent report, in 2025, of the Social Security and Medicare board of trustees, Social Security is capable of paying out the entirety of promised benefits through 2033. After that, there is only capability of paying out 77% of promised benefits. That’s seven years from now.
