What are you hoping to hear from President Biden and is it fair to tie in any way what happened at the Emanuel AME church to Donald Trump? Donald Trump had barely launched his campaign when that attack happened.”

Former NBA star turned television personality Charles Barkley took a shot at former President Trump for his recent rhetoric on immigration. “For a man who’s running for the most powerful position in the world to use pseudo-racist rhetoric — that’s one of the reasons I can’t vote for that guy,” Barkley said Wednesday. “Because man, he just rubs me the wrong way. And people can vote for whoever they want to. But I just do not like it at all.” Trump has come under widespread criticism in recent weeks for the way he has described the influx of immigrants coming...

Why do conservative media feel the need to kowtow to the Democrat Party's biased and partisan (not to mention self-serving and … hateful) rhetoric? Have the many troubling events of election night already been forgotten? Once and for all, fellow journalists and fellow citizens, conservative and liberal alike (although I hardly expect the latter to follow this piece of — friendly — advice), stop saying "Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election" and stop referring to "the election that Trump lost", to "Trump's defeat", to "Trump tried to change the results", and to "false claims". The way that even conservative...
