Who's the worst emitter of liberal media bias and Trump hatred on MSNBC? Rachel Maddow? Joy Reid? Fuggedaboutit. When it comes to the most hideous Trump hater on MSNBC, nobody comes close to former Republican, failed McCain campaign official, and Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace, in the opinion of this NewsBuster. On her show Friday afternoon, Wallace accused President Trump of tweeting "like a punk" while people are dying. Wallace was speaking to former Eric Holder flack Matthew Miller when she kvetched that the coronavirus pandemic "is like every other" moment "in Donald Trump's presidency, where it's about his...

April 18 2020 Saturday in the Octave of Easter Reading 1 Acts 4:13-21 Observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving them to be uneducated, ordinary men, the leaders, elders, and scribes were amazed, and they recognized them as the companions of Jesus. Then when they saw the man who had been cured standing there with them, they could say nothing in reply. So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin, and conferred with one another, saying, “What are we to do with these men? Everyone living in Jerusalem knows that a remarkable sign was done through them,...

Another set of Trump tweets, another Alyssa Milano meltdown. It just never gets old, does it? As part of his campaign to get the United States of America to reopen from quarantine in the coming months, Mr. Trump, as he always does, made slogan-style tweets urging various states to “liberate” themselves from coronavirus lockdown. Right on cue, insane lefties like Alyssa jumped to accuse the president of inciting rebellion against governors of each state. Trump’s April 17 morning tweets included, “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege,” “LIBERATE MICHIGAN,” and “LIBERATE MINNESOTA!” As tensions have...

Calling him the most “consistent” president in American history, prominent Southern Baptist R. Albert Mohler Jr., indicated Wednesday that he will likely support President Donald Trump in 2020 despite not voting for him in 2016 when he also encouraged other Christian leaders to do the same...“I don’t have a different moral estimation of Donald Trump. Even in office he continually leaves me very frustrated in how he presents himself, how he speaks, but he has been more consistent in pro-life decisions, executive orders … than any president of the United States in any party. He’s been more consistent than any...

Suzanne Somers isn't shy about what activities she's been up to during the coronavirus pandemic. The 73-year-old has been hosting a regular Facebook Live cocktail hour to stay connected to her fans and recently told Page Six's "We Hear" podcast that she's also been having sex "most days, and the position is not photographable.” Apparently, Somers and her husband of over 40 years, Alan Hamel, can't get enough of each other. “I have a husband who I inject every Tuesday with testosterone and Wednesday’s a very good day. We have found a way. My girlfriends go, ‘You do not have...

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) falsely accused President Trump Friday of killing Americans hit by the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus by not sending ventilators. No American has gone without a ventilator who needed one let alone died for a lack of one, even though at times there has been panic about potential shortages that did not pan out. States that were begging Trump for ventilators, like New York and Washington, are sending surplus ventilators to other states...

China's economy shrank for the first time in decades in the first quarter of the year, as the virus forced factories and businesses to close. The world's second biggest economy contracted 6.8% according to official data released on Friday.

Left-wing pop icon Cher has accused Republican supporters of President Donald Trump of turning their heads for financial gain while the president “kills Americans” suffering from the Chinese coronavirus. Posting on Twitter in her typically incoherent fashion, the 72-year-old star cited an article from Politico arguing that Trump’s decision to remove funding from the China-centric World Health Organization (WHO) actually allowed Beijing to increase its influence across United Nations agencies. In the rant, Cher accused powerful Republicans around the president of failing to call him out for killing Americans because they are financially benefiting. A version in grammatical English is...

Former Saturday Night Live star Leslie Jones erupted in response to reports that President Donald Trump’s name will appear on millions of Americans’ coronavirus relief checks by suggesting that his name also be printed on the death certificates of those who died from the illness. “Like what is wrong with us how dont we see the narcissistic behavior of this clown? We need put his name on all the death certificates from this pandemic too!! What the fuck?!” Jones said on Twitter Friday morning. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that some of the delivery of the checks were delayed by...

In these execution-focused pages we have seen the death penalty meted out to ideological enemies whom the Nazis hastened to dispose of in their last hours; almost infinitely more numerous were everyday people who by Berlin’s Götterdämmerung were made so much meat for the ordnance of the advancing Allies. On this date in 1945, Robert Limpert’s effort to avoid the latter fate for his native Ansbach caused him to suffer the pangs of an entirely gratuitous execution.

The Department of Agriculture will implement a new $19 billion COVID-19 coronavirus relief plan for food producers that includes direct payments to farmers, as announced by President Trump during the White House briefing on Friday.

The Yankees have been a team greater than the sum of its parts all year, and when they secured their own corridor in history tonight, it was appropriate that a pitcher who had struggled in recent weeks pushed them over the finish line. Andy Pettitte, dropped to the back of the Yankees' rotation for the World Series, applied the final piece to their mosaic tonight, pitching seven and a third shutout innings and outdueling Kevin Brown in a 3-0 victory over the San Diego Padres in Game 4. In achieving their first Series sweep since 1950 and seventh in their...

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) are studying whether inhaling a gas called nitric oxide can help treat patients with COVID-19, or even prevent people from getting the disease. Although nitric oxide is widely used to treat patients with respiratory failure, MGH is the only hospital in the United States, and one of the few in the world, studying it for the treatment of COVID-19, according to the CDC. (MGH is conducting one of the studies in cooperation with teams in Alabama and Louisiana.) Get breaking news alerts and updates about the coronavirus outbreak across New England in your inbox....

Ending years of futility and self-doubt, the Yankees defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-2 in a taut thriller last night to win their first World Series title in 18 years. Crowning a magical season of many small miracles, the Yankees dropped the first two games at home and then stormed back to snatch four straight from the defending champions and claim a destiny that once seemed their very birthright. The spellbinding six-game triumph over the Braves bestowed on the Yankees their 23d world championship, by far the most of any team, and perhaps their sweetest. Never since the Yankees began winning...
