In the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, it's the second tough morning in a row for the liberal media, and good news for the defense. Yesterday, we noted how Morning Joe had to acknowledge that the prosecution of Rittenhouse was "falling apart" after a prosecution witness admitted that the defendant hadn't fired until the witness pointed his gun at him. This morning, it was CNN's turn to be in the barrel. New Day co-host John Berman tried to shift focus to what he described as the "bonkers" behavior of the trial judge, Bruce Schroeder. And repeated references were made to "criticism"...

It was established by Congress in 1926, to honor Americans who fought in World War One, which came to a victorious end with the armistice of November 11, 1918. In a White House proclamation, President Calvin Coolidge described the conflict, then known as the Great War, as “the most destructive, sanguinary, and far-reaching war in human annals.” Yet a few years later came an even greater and more destructive war, World War Two, and soon thereafter, a smaller war in Korea. So in 1954, Congress renamed Armistice Day, by now a...

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry was asked about Chinese slave labor at a press conference Wednesday at COP26 following a joint statement with China on enhancing climate action "How in the several months of meetings behind the scenes with China did you bring up some of those very contentious issues such as the use-of-force labor in Xinjiang for building solar panels.
