What a Shame: Psaki Suffers Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki found herself as a modern reincarnation of the boy Alexander from the famous children’s book as she faced a torrent of tough questions from reporter after reporter on Afghanistan, the border, and spending.

MSNBC Contributor Spews HATE: Fox Is Al Jazeera, Trump Is Bin Laden

Al Jazeera’s never exactly been a reliable source of news when it comes to Islamist atrocities.
