Mr. President, Your Wartime Bravado Isn’t Working, or Is This Another TACO Example?

President Trump took questions after the swearing-in ceremony today for Janine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. As would be anticipated, questions turned to the war in Ukraine and Trump’s recent assertion that Putin is acting “very crazy.” On Truth Social he had earlier fleshed everything out in writing: “What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if […]

‘I Can’t Breathe’ — the Tragedy Inflicted on Officer Derek Chauvin by a Rush-to-Judgment Media

Five years ago today, an arrest incident involving a person named George Floyd grabbed international headlines when the only videos or photos shown were those of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin pinning the arrestee to the ground using a perfectly permissible knee-and-neck hold.

The Munich Agreement, in Neville’s mind, spelled “peace for our time.” He proudly told the British people that for the second time in history a prime minister had returned from Germany “bringing […]

Axios Obtains Biden-Hur Interview Tape Segments but Downplays Them; Major Media Ignore It All

Yesterday, the mainstream meda, including the Wall Street Journal, refused to report on a former FBI director, James Comey, who figuratively and no doubt knowlingly called for the assassination of Donald Trump by posting a photo of seashells arranged to show “8647” — take Trump eight miles out and bury him six feet under. Today, Axios obtained segments of the […]
