Jimmy Carter

Even with former President Jimmy Carter’s passing over the weekend, Monday’s CBS Mornings still wanted their dose of President-elect Trump. So, while liberal co-host Tony Dokoupil was speaking with anti-Trump presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, the former teed up the latter to recount how Carter had supposedly “guilted” Trump into making a gift to the Carter Center, much to the…

The 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, has shuffled off this mortal coil at the age of 100. Those who remain and are tasked with covering his passing have chosen to do so while putting a rosy glaze over his presidency. In doing so, they neglected history.

On CNN This Morning, David Frum says that JD Vance is a younger version of the racist, authoritarian, corrupt Donald Trump, with a law degree and a better haircut.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough goes full Baghdad Bob for Biden. He suggests people should ignore "stupid March polls" that show Biden losing, and analogizes the race to the 1980 race between Carter and Reagan, before Carter's support collapsed at the very end.

On MSNBC, a paranoid Michael Beschloss fears that in order to help Trump, Putin, China, and Turkey will spark an international crisis shortly before the 2024 election, to undermine confidence in Biden.  Beschloss also claims that because schools aren't teaching "civics," people don't understand the difference between democracy and dictatorship, and are therefore gulled into supporting Trump.…

Over the last week, one conservative Republican rose up, and one conservative Republican stepped down. Former Vice President Mike Pence, a consistent and unwavering Christian and constitutional conservative, announced the termination of his presidential campaign, saying, “It’s become clear to me; this is not my time.”

Conventional wisdom says voters don’t care about foreign policy. Nearly two years into Europe’s largest conflict since World War II, the conventional wisdom seemed to be right. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has had little effect on the race for the GOP presidential nomination and opened no room for a challenger to Joe Biden among the Democrats. But the butchery Hamas perpetrated against Israeli…

It was November 4, 1979. The President of the United States was Democrat Jimmy Carter. Carter was seen by many on the GOP side as a weak president, which was part of the reason Republican Ronald Reagan was making another try for the GOP nomination to face off with Carter in the soon-to-arrive 1980 presidential election.

MSNBC’s Chris Jansing welcomed author David Lipsky to her Friday show to promote his new book The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial and amid the usual lamentations about “deniers,” the duo appeared to blame the current state of the environment on Americans for not taking well to Jimmy Carter’s infamous 1977 sweater speech.

One can trace former President Donald Trump’s indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg back to the media/Democrat belief that Trump’s 2016 election was illegitimate. Sure, some, like Hillary Clinton, questioned former President Barack Obama’s birthplace. And, after the 2000 Bush v. Gore Supreme Court decision, some, for a time, groused and called George W. Bush “president select…

PBS celebrated the return of the ancient “October Surprise” election conspiracy theory -- the unsubstantiated rumor that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign, led by William Casey, delayed the release of the 52 American hostages in Iran in order to win election over Democrat Jimmy Carter. The original version was advanced by former Carter aide Gary Sick before being discredited…

CNN's Poppy Harlow gushes "I love that" over a report that Jimmy Carter invited Rosalynn to attend cabinet meetings. But the liberal media was aghast over news Donald Trump permitted Melania into the Situation Room on one occasion.

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) made his second stop on the gauntlet of CBS shows on Monday’s CBS Mornings after a stop on Sunday’s Face the Nation (and ahead of Monday’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) promoting his book It’s Okay to Be Angry About Capitalism. While Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan pressed Sanders on his latest act of…

Journalists love to use past presidents to measure today’s politicians, either to build up those who exemplify their historical liberal heroes, or to belittle conservatives with whom they disagree.
