LA Times Editorial Opposes 'No Fly List' Gun Ban As ACLU Waffles
In the debate over whether persons whose names are on the "no-fly list" should be denied their constitutional right to purchase a gun, one quite predictable thing has happened. Now that President Barack Obama has come out in favor of such a move in a nationally televised speech — to the point of wondering "What could possibly be the argument?" for opposing him — The ACLU, which 5 years ago…

Holy Dzhokar? Rolling Stone Stamps Trump Voters as 'Unpatriotic'
Rolling Stone is matching the provocations of Donald Trump with this headline: “If You Support Donald Trump, You Are Unpatriotic.” Remember the Bush years, when you could never accuse someone of lacking patriotism? Dissent is patriotic, and all that? And which magazine put the Boston Marathon bomber on their cover like a rock star?
The subhead was “Any American who would pick and choose which…

CNN, ABC, CBS Hype Philadelphia Daily News Likening Trump To Hitler
CNN, ABC, and CBS's morning newscasts on Tuesday all touted the Philadelphia Daily News's thinly-veiled comparison of Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler on their front page.

Katy Perry: Your Climate Presence Causes Children to Suffer
Want to tell people that they are hurting children around the globe?
Use a pop star and a fake newscast to soften up the guilt trip.
In a video reminiscent of a bad episode of “Who Wore it Better,” pop superstar Katy Perry channelled her inner Anchorman in a burgundy pantsuit while she “forecasted” the climate threat in a video for UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund.) UNICEF, a…

New York Times vs. New York Times on the Terror Watch List
On Monday on Twitter, National Review writer Charles C. W. Cooke called out the hypocrisy of the New York Times, as he posted a contrast, a Times flip-flop: a 2014 Editorial Board write-up on how the “Terror Watch Lists Run Amok” and a 2015 Editorial Board write-up on why Republicans are showing “Tough Talk and a Cowardly Vote on Terrorism” by refusing to let the terror watch lists run amok.

Mika On Trump Muslim Plan: I Blame George W. Bush
One of James Taranto's tongue-in-cheek tropes at his Best of the Web Today column is "We Blame George Bush." As Wikipedia describes it, the trope "is a play on the perceived tendency for many of his detractors to lay the blame for pretty much anything" on Bush. In a recent example, "We Blame George W. Bush" was placed over a headline reading “Slipping Into a Food Coma? Blame Your Gut Microbes…

Kelly, Kurtz Unload on Media for Complaints Over Terrorist Photo
Ripping members of the liberal media who’ve criticized press outlets for publishing photos of San Bernardino terrorist Tashfeen Malik wearing a hijab, Fox News host Megyn Kelly teamed with guest Howard Kurtz on Monday night to excoriate the “ludicrous” line of thinking by Melissa Harris-Perry and an Al Jazeera producer (among others) that even led Kelly to exclaim that “[n]o one gives a crap…

The World That Pearl Harbor Created Is Coming to An End
"[The World War II] generation's extraordinary faith in the federal government was a temporary aberration brought about by unique circumstances. Their world no longer exists, and the political system it created is collapsing around us. Our challenge now is to rebuild a political system that recognizes the inability of the federal government to lead our nation." – Scott Rasmussen

CBS Runs CAIR-Heavy Piece on Islamophobia Fears Post-San Bernardino
On Monday, the CBS Evening News ran a full story about fears of continued Islamophobia in America following the terror attack in San Bernardino and turned to none other than the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for help, but neglected to mention CAIR’s extremist tendencies and how an official recently blamed the United States and the West for the spread of terrorism.
