By any objective standard, the accusation from former Senate staffer Tara Reade that Biden sexually assaulted her is stronger than Ford’s accusation against Kavanaugh. This does not mean Biden is guilty and should be disqualified. But it does highlight the grave injustice done to Kavanaugh.

Age and Sex Could Undercut Joe Biden and Give These Long Shots a Chance
If you are, for example, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, former New Orleans Mayor and former Louisiana Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, or Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, you’ve impressed most factions within the Democratic Party in one way or another while making few enemies. You could be a galvanizing breath of fresh air…
The Daily Coronavirus White House Press Briefings Haven’t Been Useful for Weeks
If there’s one good thing to come out of President Trump’s dumb musings about using disinfectant injections as a treatment for the coronavirus, it will be that it brought the daily press briefings to a full stop.
Chris Cuomo’s Wife’s Crackpot Coronavirus Treatments Could Put People in Danger
Cristina Cuomo has been documenting her family’s experience with the coronavirus. Some elements of “The Cuomos’ Corona Protocol” include commonsense nutrition, such as an abundance of ginger, olive oil, vitamins B and C, spinach, and cayenne. The rest of it, however, is pseudoscience at best and medical malpractice at worst.
Media Lionize Governors Whose States Have Rampant Coronavirus Outbreaks
They are the governors most celebrated by the media for their handling of the coronavirus. They are Democrats. They are frequent critics of President Trump. And they govern states with some of the worst numbers associated with the outbreak.
Chris Cuomo and CNN Stage a Fake Coronavirus Resurrection
The way the CNN anchor is telling it now, you would think that he has not left his basement since his alleged March 31 diagnosis. Is this part of an elaborate prank?No. This is CNN.
America Was Sick Long Before Coronavirus Arrived
America may be the world’s only superpower today, but how long can that be sustained when so many of our citizens drag their neighbors down and are bursting the social safety net, which was designed to provide short-term assistance as opposed to a lifetime handout?…Unless we are willing to take our medicine and change our lifestyle and mentality, then our collective demise is unavoidable.
Biden Should Pick Stacey Abrams as His Running Mate to Show How Overrated She Is
Joe Biden will probably pick a black woman as his running mate. Here’s hoping that it’s failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams if for no other reason than that it will finally make clear just how overrated she is.
Investigate the Wuhan Lab
The virus’s genetic code and its nonmaximal mortality rates suggest it came from a bat rather than a bioweapons lab project. Even if the science is strong that it originated with animal-to-human transmission, however, it’s plausible that it could have been the result of botched research into bats that infected a lab worker and got outside the facility.
Covid-19 Almost Cured Chris Cuomo of Journalism
CNN’s Chris Cuomo suffered a sort of existential crisis this week, confessing outright during a radio interview that he considers what he does for a living to be soul-crushing and devoid of any real meaning. Unfortunately, his moment of clarity lasted not 24 hours before he performed a full backtrack, claiming he never said the things he said about CNN, his job, and journalism.
It’s Time to Let People Back into Church
This past weekend, amid the broad coronavirus shutdown, you nevertheless could buy your Mad Dog 20/20 at your liquor store. You could pick up your shiplap and wood stain at Home Depot. Dozens of people could congregate under one roof, as long as it was a Big Box store.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Is Not Vice-Presidential Material
Just a year into the job, Whitmer’s tenure as governor has already been a categorical disaster. While campaigning, she promised to “fix the damn roads,” only to propose doing so, once in office, by tripling the gas tax…Now, Michigan has become a coronavirus hot spot, putting both Whitmer’s sheer incompetence and petty authoritarianism on full display.
No, Coronavirus Isn’t the Result of Racism
Black people are being hit especially hard by the coronavirus. This has already prompted multiple commentators, and even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez herself, to deem this microscopic pathogen a racist and even demand reparations for slavery as part of the next coronavirus relief package.
Bernie Is Done, But His Ideas Live on in an Ideologically Bankrupt Party
Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign may have just ended, but his movement lives on. The Democratic National Committee should be worried.
Why Do the Media Want to Divide Coronavirus into a Red vs Blue Issue?
With President Trump at the helm, he is most often the focus of criticism in terms of how he is leading us through this storm. Even as members of the media preach solidarity during turmoil, some try to score cheap points by pitting red states against blue states. This is not helpful.
Celebs to Fete and Raise Money for Beijing Bootlickers at WHO
Reading the room of an increasingly unemployed and petrified nation, network news has decided to join forces with perhaps the only two other institutions more reviled than themselves: celebrities and the Beijing bootlickers at the World Health Organization.
George W. Bush Enjoys Positive Press for Tale of Pandemic Preparation
Get ready for a round of strange new respect for President George W. Bush. The man who is held personally responsible for the state and local failures of Hurricane Katrina is enjoying some positive press this weekend following the publication of a report detailing his efforts as president to prepare the United States for a viral outbreak.
The Trump Administration Hurt America When They Lied to Us About Masks
U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams one month ago told everyone in America to stop buying masks, claiming, “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus.”
No Institution Has Failed the Public Worse Than the News Media During the Pandemic
It seems impossible considering the federal government’s sluggish, incoherent, and unfocused handling of this crisis. But even the federal government has managed to get some things right. The same cannot be said for our self-important Fourth Estate. From the very beginning, corporate media got the story wrong, publishing article after article assuring readers that the virus was not as dangerous as it sounded.
Pelosi Uses Coronavirus Crisis to Push Tax Relief for Blue-State Millionaires
With millions having lost their jobs as a result of the national shutdown aimed at mitigating the death toll of the coronavirus pandemic, Congress, in a rare moment of bipartisan unity, rushed to pass a $2.2 trillion relief package. Yet, the effort was delayed as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attempted to exploit the process to realize a long list of completely irrelevant liberal policy goals.
Trump Should Cut the Drama and Pettiness Out of His Coronavirus Response
This is a time for the president to be rising above the fray and to be calling for national unity. He should be focusing press briefings on informing the public about the response to the coronavirus. Which brings up another point: on Sunday, Trump fired off a series of tweets boasting about the great ratings for his press briefings. It is just absolutely bizarre for the president, in the midst of a pandemic that has already claimed thousands of lives, to be boasting about TV ratings for what should be informational public health briefings.
Hillary’s Toxic Coronavirus Commentary Uses Dead Americans as a Political Weapon
Clinton took what ought to be an apolitical national crisis and exploited it to attack Trump.
U.S. Does Not Have Close to the Most Coronavirus Cases When Adjusted for Population
When the United States on Thursday overtook the rest of the world in reported cases of the coronavirus, it immediately drew international headlines.

Trump Should Make Daily Coronavirus Updates More Useful
The daily one-size-fits-all meetings dominated by Trump have been overshadowed by the typical banter between the president and reporters. This often drowns out important information.
