How does the U.S. news media treat invasions conducted by hostile nations compared to those conducted by American forces? To answer this question Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) studied a month’s worth of the New York Times’ coverage early on in the Ukraine invasion and a comparable month’s coverage of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Their findings? That the Times paid much more attention to the Ukraine War, and highlighted civilian casualties in Ukraine far more than the paper did for the Iraq War – this even though the United States was a direct combatant in the...

A driver, who asked us not to use her name or show her face, says she was stopped at the intersection of Irvington and Tidwell near Sam Houston High School when she was rear-ended by a fast-moving vehicle. She says the man in the SUV that hit her made a motion, which she took to mean they would pull over and exchange insurance information. She claims she pulled over and watched as the other driver turned around and...

It can't be trusted. It might damage fertility – or unborn children. It's been 'rushed through' and we're all 'human guinea-pigs'. Oh, and it's 'a plot to depopulate the Earth'. Sound familiar? All are baseless, yet well-worn claims made about the Covid vaccine. But can those who hold such ill-informed – and in some instances extreme – opinions ever change their mind? A groundbreaking BBC documentary to be aired on Wednesday sets out to discover just that. The show features a fascinating experiment in which seven anti-vax Britons spend five days living together in a house – where they are...

Fortunately, I was sitting down when I saw the following video. I had an easier fall to the floor from the sitting position then if I had been standing upright. This is a genuine stunner. A reporter for the PUBLIC BROADCAST SYSTEM– let me repeat that, a PBS reporter on the ground in Ukraine and reporting from the Ukraine side of the fightin –blows up the Ukrainian propaganda that Russia was shelling civilian targets during the sustained bombardments. This is akin to Rachel Maddow admitting the Joe Biden is the Big Guy and on the take from the Chinese. Whoops!...

Americans who see China’s miraculous growth and magnificent urban towers as a model for these United States seem blissfully unaware of the vast number of Chinese structures built but never occupied, often never even finished. They’re funded by the life savings of ordinary Chinese citizens. How far can the communist government inflate the real estate bubble before it bursts? Some small protests have begun, but the autocrats know how to shut that down, using COVID-19 protocols.

"I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God."

Senate Democrats on Sunday passed Joe Biden’s massive tax-and-spend bill dubbed the ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’ The bill was passed in a 51-50 party-line vote after a 2-day vote-a-rama.

When Kermit the Frog found El Sleezo Cafe, a stereotypically Mexican joint in 1979’s “The Muppet Movie,” he nervously muttered, “Foreign food … but a man’s gotta eat.” Never mind that the house special turned out to be frog’s legs — such a scene today would go straight to the cutting-room floor and the creators exiled to Cancelville. Once upon a time, it was permissible to make light-hearted fun of cuisines that were unfamiliar or exotic to film audiences. But in today’s unforgiving and witless world of Indigenous-Cuisine Purity, good-natured jokes are strictly verboten. Worse, just about any dish not...
