George Washington

Washington -- One of the unsung prophets of Aukus last week was the great British historian Andrew Roberts, who soon will be recognized throughout the English-speaking world as the man who has attempted to retrieve the reputation of King George III from the sneers of ... well, of people like me. His biography of George III will come out in early November, and of course, I have not had a chance…

Washington -- How did the weekend that commemorated the 20th anniversary of 9/11 -- America's Pearl Harbor for the 21st century -- go for you? There were huge American flags draping the skyscrapers of northern Virginia. The streets below, however, were relatively deserted. Across the river, there was a more traditional scene. Groups of tourists were parading around the remaining statues of…

Inside Politics host John King and CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash reacted to President Biden's new vaccine mandate on Friday by praising him for going after Republican governors who allegedly are anti-science.

Washington -- How could a comic figure from the world of politics such as President Joe Biden suddenly become such a tragic figure on the American scene? One minute he is bringing all civilized observers to laughter by telling Katie Couric that former President Franklin Roosevelt dealt with the 1929 stock market crash by getting "on television" and reassuring his fellow Americans as only FDR…

Thursday night’s ReidOut was plenty crazy with dangerous and venomous rhetoric, but the MSNBC show went up a notch when host Joy Reid fawned over President Biden as not only akin to George Washington for his widespread coronavirus vaccine mandates, but she also said he showed leadership on par with Ulysses S. Grant in fighting the 80 million unvaccinated (which would presumably mean…

On Tuesday afternoon, CNN host Brianna Keilar demonstrated that Republican Nikki Haley is in her sights to be dinged well before a likely run for President as she devoted a segment to promoting a lame fact check on the former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador.

Now that Stephen Colbert has officially become a “comedian” for the state, protecting Joe Biden, he has to turn elsewhere for jokes. Apparently, the show's new targets are America’s Founding Fathers, people that the Late Show on Wednesday slimed as “douche nozzles.” 

There is very little new under the sun. The monument and statue destruction that we are witnessing has been witnessed in other times and other places. A tyrant's first battlefield is to rewrite history. Most notable were the political purges of Joseph Stalin. The Soviet government erased figures from Soviet history by renaming cities —  such as the Imperial capital of St. Petersburg to…

After Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Il.) told CNN she is open to taking down George Washington statues, and claimed that President Trump praised “dead traitors” in his Mt. Rushmore speech when he was speaking about the country’s Founding Fathers, she faced…

On Wednesday's CNN Tonight, CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter filed a report in which he decried Fox News host Tucker Carlson for calling Illinois Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth a "coward" for refusing to come on his show to discuss her suggestion that statues of George Washington should perhaps be taken down.

On Wednesday's New Day show, CNN analyst John Avlon delivered a "Reality Check" to allegedly fact check Fox News host Tucker Carlson. But the segment actually spread misinformation by replaying Illinois Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth's false claims about President Donald Trump's speech at Mt. Rushmore.

On Morning Joe, Jaime Harrison, Lindsey Graham's Democrat opponent for a US Senate seat in South Carolina, proposes a "discussion" about taking down statues honoring George Washington. 

On CNN's State of the Union, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who is reportedly attracting buzz as Joe Biden's potential running mate, refuses to rule out taking down statues of George Washington. Asked by Dana Bash, subbing for Jake Tapper, Duckworth first said "we should start off by having a national dialogue on it." Pressed by Bash, she again refused to express opposition to taking down statues of…

MSNBC debased itself Friday night with a vile display of hatred for America, the Constitution (except the freedom of the press), the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers, and positive celebrations of both where the country has been and where we hope to go. Led by The Beat host Ari Melber, it was a despicable 103 minutes of venom, filled with calls to go beyond Confederate…
