The Patriot Post ~ “In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” –Thomas Jefferson This week’s congressional hearings into IRS abuse were illustrative of Leftist contempt for Rule of Law. For starters, it seems the only part of […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ The ABC mentioned in the title is the Australian National Broadcaster, the ABC, (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) It has no relationship whatsoever with the ABC Network in the U.S. The program is Lateline, the late night Current Affairs program. Last night the program featured an interview with the American Global Warming commentator […]
By Alan Caruba ~ From its earliest days, even before the Revolution, Americans valued their newspapers and understood they played a crucial role in the issues and events of the times in which they lived. It would take a while, however, before newspapers evolved from highly partisan advocates of the early political factions to their […]
By Tim Graham ~ The Washington Post reported on Tuesday’s front page that their ABC-Post poll showed Obama’s approval rating remained steady, with 51 percent approving and 44 percent disapproving. Then came the Post polling comparison to uncaring Republicans. Dan Balz and Jon Cohen reported: “A bare majority of Americans say they believe that Obama […]
By Noel Sheppard ~ By virtually any measure, with three scandals exploding on the White House, last week had to be the worst of Barack Obama’s presidency. Despite this, CNN – the self-described most trusted name in news – released a poll Sunday finding the current White House resident’s job approval rose two points since […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Sure, warmists exaggerated the temperature rise so far, The Age finally admits. But we still have to believe they’ll be right about the apocalypse to come: The rate of global warming caused by rising greenhouse gas levels could be slower than previously thought, but will still result in the same eventual […]
By Alan Caruba ~ Among the greatest liars on Earth today is the international organization called Friends of the Earth (FOE). It has engaged in the most scurrilous fear-mongering for decades, along with Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, and the World Wildlife Fund, while all the time they pulled in billions in funding. In May 2012, the Daily Caller […]
By Tim Graham ~ By Friday, as the Obama promoters within the network news divisions started spreading the president’s word that three growing scandals are just a blip, they might point to Gallup’s daily job-approval ratings for Obama, which remained at 49 percent approve, 45 percent disapprove. This result might also reflect that Gallup found […]
By Tim Graham ~ The Arts section of Sunday’s Washington Post was dominated by articles analyzing the cultural importance of the Ballet Russes and its role in European modernism. For Post dance critic Sarah Kaufman, (pictured) it represented “The ascent of men, the haven for gays.” This ballet troupe was a “tremendous force in modern […]
By Tim Graham ~ Today’s proof that National Public Radio is your taxpayer-funded rip-and-read press-release service for the Left: a Morning Edition story summarized as “College Divestment Campaigns Creating Passionate Environmentalists.” Reporter Elizabeth Shogren compared Brown University’s anti-coal campaign to anti-apartheid campaigns of the 1980s: “Students at more than 300 colleges in the United States […]
By Alan Caruba ~ On May 8th as the House committee hearing about the Benghazi attack occurred, you could have tuned through every major network with the notable exception of Fox News and (a) not found any coverage or (b) found so little coverage that you would not even have known it was occurring. Even […]
By Michelle Malkin ~ It’s on. As the White House grapples with a growing backlash over its Libya lies and lapses, President Obama’s apologists are gearing up for battle. Put on your hip-waders. Grab those tar buckets. Get ready for Operation Smear Benghazi Whistleblowers. Capitol Hill hearings this week on the deadly 9/11 consulate attack […]
By Brad Wilmouth ~ Appearing on Wednesday’s The O’Reilly Factor, left-leaning FNC political analyst Kirsten Powers criticized the behavior of Democrats in the wake of the Benghazi hearings in Congress, as she cited the testimony of official Gregory Hicks as compelling. After complaining about Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings’s reaction to the testimony, she continued: Gregory […]
By Tim Graham ~ The Chicago Tribune’s Steve Johnson reports CNN has made a deal with liberal actor Robert Redford to produce a eight-episode reality show in 2014 called “Chicagoland.” CNN and Redford aren’t filming in a red state or a hick town – it’s Obama’s adopted hometown: “One of the attractions to Chicago, CNN […]
By Tim Graham ~ The Sunday Outlook section of The Washington Post offered a list of “Spring Cleaning” items, “things to toss out.” Some were light topics: Jonathan Capehart picked summer “Flip-flops.” But former Post defense reporter Thomas Ricks suggested we toss Texas out of the USA. “I’m just sick of ‘em and all their […]
By Christopher Adamo ~ If any American still doubts that liberal ideology is built entirely upon a foundation of lies and fraud, the news of the past week should put the notion completely to rest. Major events, and in more specifically the disjointed and prejudicial manner in which those events have been covered, stand as […]
By Frank Salvato ~ Well, bravo to the mainstream media – at least the Conservative mainstream media – for finally putting two-and-two together in understanding the role that political correctness plays in the ongoing conflict with violent jihadists and fundamentalist Islam. To say that they showed up “fashionably late” to the party is borderline sarcastic. […]
By Alan Caruba ~ What kind of idiot would write, “Until we fully understand what turned two brothers who allegedly perpetrated the Boston Marathon bombings into murderers, it is hard to make any policy recommendation other than this: We need to redouble our efforts to make America stronger and healthier so it remains a vibrant […]
By Tom McLaughlin ~ It amazes me what lengths to which the left will go to avoid mentioning terrorism and Islam in the same sentence. During the days between the bombing Monday and identifying the two bombers early Thursday, the left desperately wished they would be American white guys. Leftist Salon.com ran the headline: “Let’s […]
By Daniel Hannan ~ One of the most unpleasant things, in the aftermath of terrorist attack, is the way commentators want the perpetrator to fit a particular profile. The title of this piece tells you pretty much all you need to know: ‘Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American‘. It’s a silly article, whose […]
by Michelle Malkin Planned Parenthood now says it’s “appalled” by the Philadelphia house of horrors run by accused serial baby-killer and pregnant-mom murderer Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Bull. The appalling inaction of the nation’s largest abortion provider, along with countless other clinics and “pro-choice” groups in the know, speaks far louder than their belatedly self-serving words. […]
By Edward Cline ~ Over the years, I have watched via Internet video countless IED (Improvised Explosive Device) explosions detonated on American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. So, when I read the news of the Boston Marathon bombing of April 15th, and watched the videos of the incident, I was certain that it was a […]
By Alan Caruba ~ The Boston Marathon bombing was, by any measure, a major news story. It occurred on Monday, April 15. In the days that followed, Americans were surely interested in the effort to find and arrest the two brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, identified as the perpetrators. With specific regard to television news […]
By Tim Graham ~ On his podcast Friday, as the networks were going wall-to-wall with live coverage of Boston, comedian and pundit Adam Carolla questioned whether Boston coverage was excessive. Matt Wilstein at Mediaite transcribed the conversation, which should be a journalism-school topic in the weeks to come. “Boston is three people dead, and quite […]
