On PBS, David Brooks Backs Reparations, Due to the 'Election of Trump'
On the PBS NewsHour, New York Times columnist David Brooks is somehow expected to be identified as the conservative (or at least center-right) pundit, and he keeps sounding like a leftist instead. On Friday, he came out for reparations because "we're in a make-or-break moment on race" due to "the election of Trump," and "aggressive gestures" are needed to show "we're all part of the same…
NYT Turns on Assange: From 'Gift of Information' to 'Dubious Judgment'

Chuck Todd Fires Back at Chris Cuomo: Nobody Wanted to Hire Him
It’s always interesting when liberals attack conservatives. However, it’s always fascinating when liberals take on other liberals.

De Niro ‘Still Has Hopes for Collusion,’ Calls Barr’s Memo ‘Pathetic'
Well, Robert De Niro’s back to his anti-Trump antics again, and while you’d think that he’d have to put down or at least shy away from his enthusiastic Robert Mueller SNL impression — since the “No collusion” report of course — the legendary actor stands by every bit of the role, saying that it’s his preferred bit of “activism” and his “civic duty.” And even with Mueller not being Trump’s…

During a mini-monologue Wednesday night, All In host Chris Hayes complained that “someone like John Yoo wrote a legal memo that facilitated the US implementing torture, which is a war crime” has a “nice tenured perch at Berkeley Law School.” Yoo, who worked on the Office of Legal Counsel during the George W.

CBS’s Stahl: ‘Feminine,’ ‘Tough’ Pelosi ‘Swatted’ My Questions Away

Cruz at Tech Censorship Hearing: Who Defines ‘Hate Speech?’
At the Senate Judiciary hearing on April 10, Republican senators went beyond establishing the liberal biases of Silicon Valley social media giants, and questioned the very idea of “hate speech.” Senator Ted Cruz proclaimed not only that banning “emotionally” harmful content is absurd, but that “None of us have a right to live in a world free of being offended.”

Newsweek Aghast as Trump ‘Avenger’ Barr Calls ‘Spying’ by Its Name
Newsweek joined the rest of the press, heavily invested in Trump’s guilt, in hysterics over Attorney General Bill Barr’s use of the word “spying” to describe the FBI’s investigation of the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. Reporter Nicole Goodkind's analysis featured the bizarre headline “William Barr Is Redefining What it Means to ‘Spy.’” Goodkind engaged in some mindreading to assume Bill Barr…
Leftists Whipping Themselves into a Jacobin Frenzy
There's no question that animosity exists on both sides of the political spectrum, but have you noticed how personal it has become for many on the left? It is disturbing how intolerant and filled with rage leftist extremists have become, and how many more people are falling into the category of leftist extremism. But what concerns me as much as this pattern of ill will and abuse from leftists is…
