Morning Joe Mute as Crist Calls His 'Amazing' Popularity a 'God Thing'

Charlie Crist used to be a Republican. Then he became an independent. Later he was a Democrat. Now, the protean politician appears to be portraying himself as the candidate of the Party of God! Can Charlie Crist possibly believe that he is God's chosen candidate? Or is his current flaunting of religiosity just the latest cynical change of colors by the ultimate political chameleon?

Why Does Our Government Need So Many Guns?

“Astanding military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.”—James Madison. Conspiracy theories sometimes have at least a thread of truth in them, which is what makes them valid to some on the far right.

Thanks to President Biden’s seemingly endless vacations, Wednesday marked the first White House press briefing in 15 days and, not surprisingly, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s succinctness didn’t improve. Worst yet, it came as President Biden announced he would forgive $10,000 to $20,000 in student loans for millions of Americans. Sure enough, Fox’s Peter Doocy and Real Clear Politics’s…

CNN Analyst Slams Biden Student Loan Plan: Wasting Too Much Money!

Wednesday night's edition of Don Lemon Tonight had a rare moment of sanity when discussing President Joe Biden's student loan bailout.

NYTimes: Fight for Fetal Personhood Mere ‘Strategy,’ Fetal Pain a Myth

Are conservatives not allowed to hold genuine beliefs on abortion? The front page of Monday’s New York Times showed the outlet once again reducing actual pro-life beliefs to cynical politics. Reporter Kate Zernike wrote “Is a Fetus a Person? An Anti-Abortion Strategy Says Yes.” Zernike showed her pro-choice bona fides in this story about pro-life activists working to confer personhood…

Nets Hype Biden Student Loan Bailout, Omit Pelosi's Criticism

On Wednesday evening, the three evening broadcast networks gushed over President Joe Biden’s bailout for millions of Americans who willingly took out student loans. A slap in the face to all who paid off their loans or who never went to college.

As part of the Democratic Party primaries in New York Tuesday night, one of the “liberal lions of Manhattan politics,” Representative Carolyn Maloney lost to fellow lion Representative Jerry Nadler after their districts were consolidated and rearranged via a court order.
