This past weekend the newspaper published a nauseating profile on Vice President Kamala Harris that was not only gross in how explicit it was in its flattery of a person in power but also in how shameless it was in describing Harris and President in Biden in ways that fly in the face of reality.

Good Riddance to CNN’s Jeff Zucker
While running NBC Entertainment, Jeff Zucker turned Donald Trump into a television superstar. While running CNN, Zucker turned him into a president. Now that the damage is done, Zucker has announced that he’ll step down from the network at the end of the year.
Purging Liz Cheney Would Be Wrongheaded
It would also be monumentally counterproductive for the Republican Party’s political health, for it would signal that the party is a small tent rather than a big one, intolerant rather than tolerant, and more interested in inflicting punishment than in repairing the damage.
Ron DeSantis’s Florida Is the Unsung Success Story of Coronavirus
Perhaps the best example of a large state succeeding amid this crisis is conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Florida. Florida is larger in population than New York, more disproportionately elderly, visited by more potentially infected tourists, and (as of the last census) its population is more concentrated in urban areas. Yet somehow, in spite of all these disadvantages, Florida’s death rate from the coronavirus is roughly half that of the Empire State.
Punishing Vile Lawmakers Is Not Cancel Culture
Punishing a vile politician by a party pulling a politician’s committee assignments, or Congress impeaching a president for committing high crimes or misdemeanors, are not evils or even examples of cancel culture. Instead, they can be necessary correctives.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Brings the GOP Nothing But Baggage
The QAnon-supporting congresswoman has expressed a lot of conspiracy theories about 9/11 trutherism, the Parkland, FL, shooting being a false flag operation, and anti-Semitism. What she has not expressed is any sort of coherent policy agenda past promulgating the lie that the presidential election was stolen from Trump…
Fauci’s Anti-Trump Barbs Undermine His Covid Messaging at a Crucial Time
Anthony Fauci has made it clear that defeating the coronavirus pandemic will require buy-in from everyone. Yet he’s spent the past two weeks positioning himself as an adversarial figure to tens of millions who still support former President Donald Trump.
Baseball Writers’ Misplaced Sanctimony Keeps Curt Schilling from Hall of Fame
The problem is that sportswriters and leagues now refuse to stick to sports. They still love radical Colin Kaepernick despite his paeans to Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Yet when Schilling equates Islamic extremists to Nazis, apparently that’s an unforgivable sin.
The Social Justice Mob Has Arrived at Politico
A prominent conservative was given a small, temporary space to say something at a major publication, so naturally, it was only a matter of time before the group therapy sessions for liberal journalists would commence.
Rupert Murdoch Is Right. “Awful, Woke Orthodoxy” Is Killing the Media
Experienced editors and executives at most of our biggest newsrooms have welcomed that sick ideology, otherwise known as social justice, with open arms. The result is the silencing of any voice deemed to have “privilege” by anyone who claims to be a victim. Murdoch understands what everyone else in the media needs to figure out, too.
Biden’s Dishonest Coronavirus Expectation-Setting
You can mark our words that at his 100-day mark, Biden will try to take credit for tremendous progress in the coronavirus fight.
Biden’s Vaccine Pitch Relies on You Being Bad at Math
President Biden has a coronavirus plan. The plan is to mostly continue the coronavirus plan of the Trump administration but use credulous reporters who can’t do division to convince the world that he has hatched a brilliant new coronavirus plan.
Media About to Discover That Romney Never Stopped Being Conservative
After a two-year love affair with any nominal Republican willing to buck the party line dictated by Donald Trump, the media are ready to be shocked that Sen. Mitt Romney, the devout Mormon and fiscal conservative, actually doesn’t plan on rubber-stamping the most liberal presidential administration in history.
Trump’s Final Insult to His Supporters: Pardoning Bannon
Bannon is a Harvard educated Goldman Sachs alum who ran his own banking firm before becoming a Hollywood producer. He’s every bit as “elite” as the establishment Trump promised to dismantle. Some of Trump’s policies may show promise, but in his final hours, Trump once again proves that his base needs to let him descend to the ash heap of history while they find another hero.
Trump Is Historically Unpopular, and It Makes No Sense for Republicans to Tie Their Fortunes to Him
The data are pretty clear that for Republicans to advance as a party, they are going to have to find a way to divorce themselves from Trump.
Mike Pence Has Been a Truly Great Vice President
As President Trump blundered from one needless controversy to another, it was Pence who kept the executive branch as a whole from careening entirely out of control…He is a man of competence and character, a man of principle and patriotism. His countrymen, liberals and conservatives alike, owe him sincerest thanks.
Trump Deserved Impeachment and Deserves Conviction
Donald Trump richly deserves the ignominy of being the first president ever to be twice impeached. His behavior has been effectively seditious, and he has been derelict in his sworn duty.
Trump Is Missing in Action as Extremists Plan More Violence
President Trump is committing an unforgivable sin of omission this week. Trump should be openly, sternly, and vociferously urging all his supporters not to protest or riot at capitol buildings across the nation in the next week, and he should be warning that even the slightest violence will be met with appropriate force, along with arrests and prosecution.
Trump at the End
On his way out the door, Donald Trump made sure he would never lead his party again. He stood in the breach last Wednesday morning and uttered the worst words ever said by a president of this country when he urged the mob that had gathered to disrupt the certification of the November election.
McConnell’s Finest Hour
Hours after rioters had stormed the Capitol, McConnell took to the Senate chamber to say emphatically, “The United States Senate will not be intimidated…They tried to disrupt our democracy and they failed.” The nation needed to hear precisely that, coming from him, a close ally to Trump who was unwilling to cross the clear, bright line from politics into conduct truly destructive of our constitutional republican system. His words that day will be committed to history.
Horror on Capitol Hill
Immediately before the riot began, he told supporters at a rally on the National Mall not to “take it any longer” and to march on Congress. Rudy Giuliani called for “trial by combat.” This was demagoguery of the most grotesque kind. It should mark Trump with permanent disgrace, bring on him legal remedies, and disbar him from public life forever.
Trump and His Mob Have Dishonored America
The mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday was engaged in nothing less than a seditious insurrection. Officials who set the tone for the sedition, especially President Trump, acted even more disgracefully, as they are expected to know better, indeed to lead.
Republicans Can Thank Trump in Part for Kelly Loeffler’s Loss
Who could have possibly known that President Trump’s wild claims about the 2020 election being stolen from him might kneecap Republican efforts to hold on to the Senate? Well, pretty much anyone who cared about Republican efforts to hold on to the Senate.
Did Trump’s Georgia Rally Help Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue? Eh…
He was there to help heave them through the finish line, and anyone who watched his mega-rally couldn’t honestly say for certain that he did it.
