It is incredible that many of the same people rightly sneering at Fox News’ earlier hiring of Sarah Huckabee Sanders are incapable of understanding the problem with hiring actual under-oath liars like James Clapper and Andrew McCabe. But it gets much worse than that. CNN is making our country worse by creating an incentive for public officials to engage in similar misconduct. That’s the opposite of what journalism should do.

What a Potent Trump Challenger Would Look Like
If Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders consolidate the left-lane of the party and ride socializing our entire healthcare and energy industries to a primary victory, Democrats cannot and should not expect the so-called Never Trump vote. A primary challenge could stand a chance against Trump in such a circumstance, but it would have to be the right one, a person capable of filling not the fantasies of cable news, but the actual void of electoral representation
Trump’s Character Flaws Are Threats to Stability and Peace
In about 24 hours, President Trump has gravely insulted allies Israel and Denmark, infuriated Jews by using anti-Semitic tropes about where their “loyalty” lies, blasphemed against Christianity by only somewhat jokingly adopting for himself the titles of “the Chosen One” and “King of the Jews,” and said that dictatorial Russia should re-join the now-G-7 nations of world economic leaders.
Amy McGrath’s Campaign to Unseat Mitch McConnell May Be Even More Incompetent Than It Appears
Democratic Kentucky Senate candidate Amy McGrath’s campaign may have just made the dumbest mistake so far in what had already been a disastrous candidacy.
Buying Greenland Isn’t a Good Idea — It’s a Great Idea
Greenland abounds with resources. An already energy independent U.S. would have unfettered access to a land rich not only in hydrocarbons but also in rare earth metals that are currently only available from an adversary, China. Greenland also controls flourishing fishing waters.
The Very Liberal in America Are Different
To many, those on the extreme left appear to be more politically radical, insular, vocal and politically active than their moderate or even extremely conservative counterparts. It turns out that this is entirely correct.
Brian Williams Just Tried to Make an Anonymous Twitter Troll into a Source
MSNBC’s Brian Williams tried this week to capture the mood of Democrats opposed to Sen. Bernie Sanders by quoting, of all things, an anonymous #Resistance Twitter troll.
The Digital Lynching of Gay, GOP Ex-Congressman Aaron Schock
Queerty is a progressive gay media website that claims to promote “the gay agenda.” Apparently, that agenda includes breaching journalistic ethics to shame and humiliate gay people who vote Republican.
Elizabeth Warren’s Gun Control Plan Is Either Terrifically Stupid or Terribly Cynical
Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s strategy to curb gun violence is a jumbled patchwork of nonstarter policy proposals and red meat for the Democratic base, in case you were wondering how seriously she takes the issue.
It Seems That Being a Trump Supporter Is No Longer Allowed
Increasingly, Democrats and the media believe there is no tolerable excuse to support Trump…It’s a radical position and not one that leaves us optimistic about the health of our democracy.
MSNBC Contributor Calls for Pitchforks and Torches Outside Trump Booster’s Home
MSNBC contributor and legal blog editor Elie Mystal called for “pitchforks and torches” outside of the home of a wealthy President Trump supporter during a Thursday night interview. Appearing on All In With Chris Hayes, Mystal slammed billionaire Stephen Ross for his support of Trump, asserting that the current trending boycotts of his businesses didn’t satisfy him.
It’s Hard to Make a Case That El Paso Shooter Was Inspired by Trump’s Language
Much discussion was spurred by an article in the New York Times with the headline, “El Paso Shooting Suspect’s Manifesto Echoes Trump’s Language.” The story quoted just 28 words of the nearly 2,400-word manifesto.
Dems Hate Trump More Than They Hate Racism
There are surely Democratic voters of good will in this country. But the loudest voices on today’s Left and in today’s Democratic Party hate Trump far more than they hate racism, and they are showing it now. The moment Trump tried to do something inarguably constructive, they stopped caring about racism’s harmful effects on the body politic…
Stop Scapegoating — Trump Didn’t Cause El Paso Any More Than Elizabeth Warren Caused Dayton
We’d like to remind people that political speech is neither a crime nor an incitement to violence, and they should stop irresponsibly treating it as such.
Biden Mistakenly Offers Sympathy for Events in Houston and Michigan
Biden, 76, mistakenly referred to the shootings as “the tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before,” but later corrected himself, according to a pool report. Biden seemingly confused Houston for El Paso and Michigan for Ohio when speaking to donors about the shootings.
Trump Must Name and Condemn the Evil of White Nationalism
You could call the killer who shot up a Walmart in El Paso evil, a madman, or a lone wolf, if you like. But it would be an intolerable omission if we did not also call him a white nationalist terrorist. This ideology is a growing sickness in America, and President Trump has a duty to thoroughly and roundly denounce it.
The Trouble with Trump’s Tweets About Baltimore Is That They Are True
Baltimore is steeped in squalor, and the black community there bears the brunt of its inept, corrupt political leadership. Trump hasn’t had time to cause that in his less than three years in office. But in less than three seconds, his tweet has shone a glaring spotlight onto it, and that bright light is causing the rats to scurry.
Here’s Who the Dems Are Praising When They Praise Al Sharpton
For those who were too young or who grew up outside of the New York area, Sharpton may be just a standard issue liberal activist or goofy television personality. But in reality, Sharpton is much more sinister than that: he is a vile Jew hater with blood on his hands.
Dems Are Making Trump the Luckiest Guy in America
In 2016, Trump was lucky in his opponents. Those opponents have responded to their defeat by retreating even further into partisanship and introversion. The president’s luck is holding.
Dems Come Up Empty-Handed Again and It’s Not Mueller’s Fault
Democrats are, without question, worse off now than they were before former special counsel Robert Mueller gave his five hours of testimony.
Mueller Hearing Won’t Change a Thing About Russia Collusion or Obstruction of Justice
Smart Democrats, of course, know that impeachment would blow up in their faces when they’re once again unable to find the Russia collusion ghost, so they’re hoping against hope that Mueller might give them some kind of wink or nod on the obstruction question. They’re looking for him to save them from themselves.
Dems’ Plan Is to Rob the Young and Hook Us on Federal Handouts
Social Security is a scheme that transfers wealth from young working people to older people. It is also a mechanism to replace private savings, individual investment, and familial support with government support.
With “Send Her Back” Chant, Team Trump Takes First Place as the Most Contemptuous US Political Force
The 2020 U.S. presidential election is a race to the bottom, where it seems both parties are vying to see who can be the most offensive, contemptuous, and disrespectful of the norms of civility.
Rep. Pressley Doesn’t Belong with AOC, Tlaib and Omar
Pressley never even used the words “racist” or “racism.” Using the words correctly, she accused Trump of making remarks that were “xenophobic and bigoted.” That’s a far cry from, and much more defensible than, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota accusing Trump of “white supremacy” and of an agenda of a “white nationalist.”
