Quick question: Why is Chris Matthews out of a job and Joy Reid still employed at NBC News? We’ll explore that fascinating double-standard at play over at the Peacock Network in a moment. First of all, everyone at MSNBC knew Matthews was a problem. I mean, I was only on MSNBC a few times in early 2017 and I witnessed one of his tirades directed at his long-suffering staff. I was sitting in the green room at the NBC News location on Nebraska Ave. in North West DC. I was due for an appearance on a mid-day program and “Mr....

Lots of adjustments are being made in the corporate world in response to the coronavirus. Conferences are being canceled, travel is being restricted, and some companies are telling employees to work from home instead of coming into the office. It all makes sense, of course, if we think about it. Why place yourself in an enclosed environment with lots of other people, particularly in areas that are reporting outbreaks of COVID-19, if you don’t have to? Why take the chance of being exposed to the coronavirus if there is an alternative? Twitter is now telling employees in Hong Kong,...

The confusingly numbered “Proposition 13” on the March 3 statewide ballot will waste taxpayer dollars, needlessly increase the state’s debt burden and encourage school districts to issue more debt, raising property tax bills. Voters should reject it. Passed in a rush by the Legislature as Assembly Bill 48, this Prop. 13 is a grab-bag of goodies for the well-connected. For Wall Street bond underwriters and investors, it’s $15 billion in general obligation bonds that will cost taxpayers about $26 billion when decades of interest costs are added. The Legislative Analyst’s Office estimates that Prop. 13 will cost taxpayers $740 million...

RUSH: Okay. So how about this, folks. With Mayor Pete, Little Pete, dropping out, pulling out, whatever he did, the presidential race, Donald Trump’s now the youngest man running for president of the United States. We are set up for a contest here between old and older on the Democrat side. Crazy Bernie and Joe Biden with Donald Trump, the youngest man running for president in the year 2020. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: One of my many proteges out there, Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, just had some interesting observations. The Democrat presidential race is now between two Marxists, Fauxcahontas and...

US bishops’ international aid agency caught indoctrinating children to ‘always’ use condoms A year-long investigation by the Lepanto Institute revealed that Catholic Relief Services instructs teens and children as young as 10 to 'always' use condoms. PETITION: Urge US bishops to stop Catholic Relief Services' condom promotion" Sign the petition here. BALTIMORE, Maryland, March 3, 2020 (Lepanto Institute) — Following a year-long investigation into Catholic Relief Services (CRS) programs and documents, the Lepanto Institute has published the first of a series of reports showing that CRS was both directly and indirectly involved in the promotion of contraception and condoms teens...

A Denver city councilwoman appeared to cheer on a message about spreading the coronavirus at one of President Trump's rallies. Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca, a Democrat, enthusiastically responded last week to a tweet that featured a graphic that said, “For the record, if I do get the coronavirus I’m attending every MAGA rally I can." Her quote tweet said, "#solidarity Yaaaas!!" along with five emojis, three of which were faces laughing so hard that they were crying. The councilwoman later responded to a reporter's tweet, saying, "1. Are you listening to ANYTHING Trump has said about the virus? 2. Do you...

As a moderate, the late Arizona Senator John McCain was and is a political hero of mine. While I did not always agree with everything John McCain stood for, I respect the fact that he stood up for what he believed in, I respect his service to our country, I respect that he didn’t view compromise as a weakness, and I respect his campaign message of “Country First.” Many people nowadays when they hear America First, think of it as a nationalistic dog whistle thanks to President Trump. This however, was not what John McCain meant when he used the...

New head of German bishops was behind document defending contraception, masturbation, homosexuality Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg was elected to succeed Cardinal Marx as president of German Bishops’ Conference. Bishop Georg Bätzing MAINZ, Germany, March 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The new president of the German Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, was responsible for a working document on sexual morality published ahead of the Synodal Path in 2019 defending use of contraception, masturbation, and an active homosexual lifestyle. Last year, Bätzing had asked Catholics to discuss the question of blessing homosexual unions. A diocesan official wrote in a...

So many FRiends had expressed concern about me going on a crowded cruise ship due to Corona Virus Disease (covid), I am posting a post-cruise report here.

News veterans Shepard Smith, Steve Kornacki and Joy Reid are all on the shortlist to take over Chris Matthews’ abruptly vacated seat on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” sources told The Post. The legendary political journalist surprised viewers Monday when he abruptly announced his retirement in the wake of accusations that he acted inappropriately toward a female guest, leaving Kornacki, a national political correspondent, to fill in. In addition to Kornacki, who is known for giving analysis of polls and election results, network brass are also thinking of giving “Hardball” to Reid, who hosts, MSNBC’s popular weekend show “AM Joy.” Reid frequently substitutes...

Liberals opening our doors to criminals are “chumming” for votes while taking all innocent citizens down the toilet with them. One thing I cannot understand is why Liberals seem to want sex offenders, criminal gangs, drug dealers, murderers, criminal illegal aliens, rapists and thieves and so on. Why do they want them around and even protect them if they can? But while President Trump is draining the swamp innocent people are losing their lives because of these so-called sanctuary states and their liberal policies. An illegal alien in Maryland killed two law enforcement officers on the road He was given...

Bernie Sanders arrives at Super Tuesday with momentum built through New Hampshire, Iowa and Nevada. Five polls have him beating Donald Trump. But here’s what will actually happen if Sanders is the nominee. Trump will drown out any substantive discussion or defense of Sander’s (sic) policies by stoking voter paranoia about socialism and communism. He’ll warn America that a Sanders presidency would destroy the economy. He will invoke his mantra that Medicare for all would “force patients to face massive wait times for treatments and destroy access to quality care.” That’s false, of course, but facts don’t matter to a...

Lithium is expensive, environmentally questionable in large volumes, and tends to catch on fire from time to time. It's the best solution we've currently got for EV and device battery storage, but other alternatives are starting to surface, and one that could actually make a fair bit of sense is the potassium metal battery.

Climate change and sea level rise are currently on track to wipe out half the world’s sandy beaches by 2100, researchers warned Monday. Even if humanity sharply reduces the fossil fuel pollution that drives global warming, more than a third of the planet’s sandy shorelines could disappear by then, crippling coastal tourism in countries large and small, they reported in the journal Nature Climate Change. “Apart from tourism, sandy beaches often act as the first line of defence from coastal storms and flooding, and without them impacts of extreme weather events will probably be higher,” lead author Michalis Vousdoukas, a...

YEA! FEEL THE BERN!

As the novel coronavirus starts to gather speed in Europe, the Middle East and the U.S., there’s one place it is seemingly being contained: Singapore. With no reported virus-related deaths despite 96 cases, and a slowing rate of infection that’s been outpaced by recoveries, the Asian city-state is emerging as a litmus test of whether the deadly pathogen can be, if not contained, then neutralized. The answer is maybe, and perhaps only with the unique combination of factors that Singapore brings: a top-notch health system, draconian tracing and containment measures, and a small population that’s largely accepting of government’s expansive...
