For years, the joke about CNN has been that the only people watching the network are those stuck in airport terminals, where the channel is omnipresent. Other than that, it’s liberal background noise.

There might never have been a Trump presidency without Sarah Palin. It was her 2008 juggernaut vice presidential candidacy that jumpstarted a populist conservative renaissance in America, and Trump, ever the acute political observer, surely was paying attention and taking notes.

Could it be that DeSantis’ decision to fight back against Disney’s foray into activism has sent a chill throughout corporate America, particularly among companies located in red states? It may be too early to tell, but Exxon’s decision to ban the display of rainbow and BLM flags outside its corporate offices was certainly encouraging.

Our 79-year-old president belongs in a nursing home, not the White House. He’s frail, forgetful, confused, incompetent and insecure.

Instead of keeping to the family values of its eponymous founder, the Walt Disney Company is indoctrinating children in a destructive ideology crafted specifically to tear at the fabric of society.

How does it feel to be a young, religious, pro-life actor or behind-the-camera worker in Hollywood, no matter his race, gender or sexual orientation, who must remain in the ideological closet for fear that his views mean career suicide? Hollywood prides itself on embracing the underdog, the scorned, the downtrodden. But that empathy does not extend to political conservatives who must hide their beliefs or risk cancellation.

Not only does it focus on only one component of the law — you guessed it, the one likely to get the most clicks — but to purport that it forbids “discussion” is misleading. CNN also mischaracterized it this way, as have numerous copycats.

His age. His conservative voting record. He carries no baggage from previous presidential campaigns. The Left fears him.

Trump reached out to Zelensky to congratulate him on his party’s victories and discuss the efforts to combat corruption in what the 45th American president described as a “perfect call.” Zelensky shared how much he had learned from Trump and how he too was now “trying to work hard … to ‘drain the swamp’ here in our country [of Ukraine].”

Now is the time to pounce on Biden’s subpar record with incontrovertible facts, of which there are plenty — not with wishful thinking that he drinks hot cocoa out of a sippy cup. Cheap shots like that make Purples turn Blue.

Rarely has so much been written about so little than the spate of recent articles from liberal journalists targeting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas over the political activism of his wife, Virginia. The central point made in all of the stories is that Thomas should recuse himself in more cases because of his wife’s involvement in conservative causes, including statements she made in support of the Jan. 6 protests.

Flores seems to be the poor schmuck who was humored for a while. The Giants were compelled to interview a minority, and the recently fired Flores was a great choice to check off that box…What’s evident about the whole Giants interview façade is that there’s absolutely no indication Flores would have had a greater chance of landing the head coaching job if he were white. The matter has absolutely nothing to do with racism.

During his speech in Pennsylvania on Friday, President Joe Biden appeared to be suddenly overcome with anger at one point and started shouting. In the opinion of conservative commentator Candace Owens, this was a symptom of Biden’s declining cognitive state…“This is dementia,” she wrote.

A replacement with more partisan fervor but less judicial gravitas than Breyer would be a blow to the court’s more liberal wing. Unless Biden bucks the odds and picks the judicial version of Tiger Woods.

Democrats are quick to smear election integrity legislation as racist, but a recent discovery proves just how easy it is for people to commit fraud. Last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents seized 1,200 counterfeit driver’s licenses from more than 20 states, according to the agency’s website.

On Monday at 7 p.m., Jesse Watters debuted as the new permanent host of Fox News’ 7 p.m. ET hour. His ratings were phenomenal and the best that Fox has seen in that timeslot in over a year. The debut had more than 3.8 million viewers. This number far surpassed the viewership of other programs like CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” and MSNBC’s “The ReidOut.”

Dick Morris: Largely spearheaded by Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson, the case for letting Russian President Vladimir Putin help himself to Ukraine is gaining ground, shattering the national security consensus that has dominated the right for seventy years.

Gen. Michael Flynn: A remarkable failure of meaningful reporting about the massive military buildup in and around Ukraine results in most Americans having no idea how close we have been brought to armed conflict with Russia. Even those Americans who have sought out news about Ukraine can do little more than watch from the sidelines as those currently leading our nation inch us toward a potential catastrophe.

The family of former National Security Advisor Gen. Michael Flynn has issued a fiery statement in response to a report that the University of Rhode Island’s new president has recommended that the institution revoke an honorary degree conferred upon the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, calling the move “corrupt.”

Ben Shapiro: So what exactly is the illustrious congresswoman proposing? Presumably, that businesses pay people to stay home if they are mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic, or that the government regulate businesses into such activity, or that taxpayers pay the freight.

Former NBA player Rex Chapman will be joining CNN+, the network announced Tuesday. In 2015, Chapman pleaded guilty to four felony charges in connection with stealing merchandise from an Apple store in 2014.

Kathleen Buhle, the ex-wife of Hunter Biden and former daughter-in-law to now-President Biden, is set to spill some ugly family secrets in a book due out only months before the midterm elections that will define the Biden presidency. And making the House of Biden look crazier than the Kardashians on a bad day isn’t likely to help out the president’s cause.

It appears that there were a lot of copies of the anti-Dr. Anthony Fauci opus “The Real Dr. Anthony Fauci” by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. under Christmas trees across America. The book was not only on Amazon’s nonfiction bestseller list for the week of Christmas, which began on Dec. 19, but was the number one book on Amazon’s top sellers.

Greene’s remarks reflected the ongoing reality of growing numbers of minorities joining the conservative movement — or at least allying themselves with conservative values. Unknown to or not publicized by Democratic strategists, there are tectonic shifts in the Republican Party that go beyond the recognized morphing of the GOP base into the party of the working class and small business.
