Tucker Carlson has been mocked over a fawning video praising Moscow's 'cheap and fresh' groceries - while overlooking the much lower wages in Russia. The former Fox News firebrand wheeled a grocery cart around a Russian superstore while marveling at the stock as he continued his Putin PR tour. -snip/ The video drew widespread ridicule from people online, as many pointed out the disparity between the average wage in Russia - which is the equivalent of $9072 - or 6.5 times less than the average US salary of $59,428. Many joked he was working for free as a one-man 'tourism...

CNN’s political director David Chalian said Tuesday during of the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden that the lights set up around the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall to remember the 400,000 Americans who have died of COVID-19 are like “extensions of Joe Biden’s arms embracing America.”

Which president could have survived these attacks? All have had their intrigues and opposition, since Washington. All have had staunch enemies, especially in government. There have been a few who stood strong against the bureaucracy and the not so loyal opposition. The transfer of power is never peaceful. It is always accomplished with bloodshed, or at least with reputations destroyed. Trump is in the mold of our strongest presidents. He is fearless, meticulous, and ferocious. His enemies call him weak, careless, and pusillanimous. In two short years Trump has proven himself a man to be feared, respected, and honored for...

First Lady Melania Trump radiated atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, where she and President Donald Trump ate dinner Thursday night with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte. Melania, always one for custom-made high fashion frocks, wore a bespoke Hervé Pierre red, white and navy blue cocktail dress for the formal dinner, paired with black stilettos and perfectly tousled hair. The dress takes inspiration from the Americana and French flags, but also is unusual in its bodice origami-like detailing, which resembles a basket of wheat.

Michelle Obama made her last public speech as first lady. The networks lined up with a 21-handkerchief salute. Nothing will ever be the same. NBC's Andrea Mitchell proclaimed that the speech was "one of hope and empowerment for the young people she has championed for eight years ... her unique voice rejecting the racial overtones of 2016." Obama is a "once-reluctant political wife, fighting an early caricature as an angry black woman." Now, Mitchell says, she is "a political orator in a class of her own." (How quickly they forget that she proclaimed herself to be proud to be an...

I’m a guy who talks to everyone. Ask my wife. A trip to the grocery store for milk can turn into a thirty minute conversation with the bag-boy. Most of the people who work with me on this site (Brodigan, Krystal, Jared, Caleb and ‘FunDip’ Dan) are just people with whom I’ve had a good conversation at one point or another. Never once did I ask for a resume. They dread my phone-calls because I always go long. I’m that guy. I’ve always loved talking with people. But in the last few years, something’s changed dramatically. Political correctness has become...

Gavin McInness makes no apologies for going off on neo-feminists.

At a fundraiser hosted in her Hollywood home on Thursday night, actress and conscious uncoupler Gwyneth Paltrow was unable to contain that inner acolyte American liberals usually try to keep hidden from public view, as she gushed with child-like wonder over President Obama’s mere presence.“You’re so handsome I can hardly speak,” she said reasonably,declaring her undying allegiance and praising what she considers to be his many accomplishments; chief among them being, apparently, “advocacy. An altogether fitting object of praise for the land where raising awareness is the same as single-handedly securing a cure for any ill. From his smiley-face worthy...

Hey Guys! You responded so well to yesterday’s posts about dad that I thought I’d add a few more photos! I’m so thankful for the many roles my dad plays, and so thankful Tripp will grow up with such a great role model in my dad. Click here for Photo 2!

Still fawning over Ted Kennedy, that is. Actually, I think we passed the "fawning" stage a few days ago - this has been going on 24/7 for the last 5 days straight - and have moved to the "cult of personality" stage. How much coverage did Ronald Reagan get when he passed? A 1-hour special? At least he actually WAS a US President (and never killed someone)!! Is this network acting on Ted Turner's direct orders to implement wall-to-wall coverage? Just makes no sense. Anyone care to predict what day (or`week) this revolting garbage will stop?

Front-runner unplugged Media Infatuation with him backfires Michael Graham By Michael Graham Tuesday, September 9, 2008 - I have one piece of advice for the struggling Obama campaign: Fire MSNBC. They’re killing your campaign. By all accounts the Democrats had a successful national convention in Denver. Their nominee’s speech at the ObamaDome was well received. At one point last week, Sen. Barack Obama had an 8-point lead in the polls. Click to learn more... Today, he’s losing by 4. If you only count likely voters, Obama is down by 10. And he has his fawning friends in the media to...

The Nation -- The McCain Campaign has finally found its line of attack against Barack Obama's widely heralded global tour. Ever since Obama canceled a trip to visit wounded soldiers in Germany, based on logistical disagreements with the Pentagon, McCain has used the snafu to argue that Obama -- you guessed it -- does not support the troops. A new ad, released on Saturday, assails Obama for prioritizing limelight and exercise over honoring American soldiers. -snip- The ad is running in selected markets in Colorado, Pennsylvania and DC. The campaign would not release the overall ad buy; the limited run...

Campaign '08: The man who opposed the surge in Iraq now wants a surge in Afghanistan. But if Barack Obama had his way, there would be no troops to be redeployed and no free Iraq to visit.Much has been made, too much we think, of the remarks by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in the German newsmagazine Der Speigel that seemingly endorsed Barack Obama's proposed 16-month timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. As John McCain has pointed out, and a fawning press has not, there would be no democratic Iraq to visit and no Prime Minister al-Maliki to have a photo-op...

When I was growing up in Bellflower, Ca., I never, as a child with a good imagination, could have ever imagined that my life would take the peculiar turn that it has. I could not have foreseen giving birth to a child that would eventually be wrongfully and devastatingly killed in war or that I would be meeting with world leaders or be nominated for the Noble Peace Prize. Along with the Vice President of Spain, Foreign Minister of Ireland, Attorney General of Australia and countless parliamentarians from all over the globe, one of the world leaders that I have...

Myers and Armed Forces Hail in honor of Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Peter Pace at Fort Myer in Va. General Richard B. Myers retired today after 40 years of service to our Nation. After the ceremony the President and First Lady headed for Camp David for the weekend. The President is expected to announce his choice to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on Monday or Tuesday

Later in the day he was sworn in by Justice Stevens in the East Room of the White House. John Roberts watched the vote with the President and had luncheon with the President at the White House prior to the swearing in ceromonies. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld attended a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Capitol Hill Yesterday Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke at a dinner of the Global Business Coalition on HIV-AIDS in...

The president met with Generals Myers, Abizaid and Casey to discuss the war on terror, then met with the press. White House economist Ben Bernanke said today that the administration expects the Gulf Coast hurricanes to shave up to 1 percentage point from the nation's growth rate in the third quarter, but that there was little chance of a recession. Regarding the indictment today of Rep. DeLay-R, Texas, various conservative news sources indicate the possibility is strong that there may not be evidence to support the vague charge of criminal conspiracy regarding campaign contributions to Texas Republican candidates a couple...

The President made no public appearances on Saturday but on Sunday he and the Vice President and their wives participated in a moment of silence in remembrance to the fourth anniversary of 9/11 on the lawn of the White House As usual the President and the First Lady attended church and later in the day he travelled to the Gulf Region for an overnight trip to the disaster area The Vice President on Saturday visited Texas Houston to see for himself the great work that the Texans are doing in caring and putting together the lives of those made homeless...
