Imagine being not yet seventy years old and being told, not exactly politely, that in the interest of liberalism you have to be put out to pasture. When that message went out to Justice Stephen Breyer in 2021, he was at least over eighty when the leftists told him his time was up on the Supreme Court. With Justice Sonia Sotomayor, despite being over ten years younger than Breyer when he retired, Josh Barro writing for The Atlantic announced that it was time for her to withdraw in the interest of liberalism as you can see in "Sonia Sotomayor Should...

It is difficult to read former Newsweek reporter David Graham's "Trump the Survivor" which was published in The Atlantic magazine on Sunday without conjuring up images of Wile E. Coyote in perpetual pursuit of the Road Runner, who always manages to evade doom. In fact, the subtitle of Graham's story just reinforces the image of Trump as the Road Runner: "He always manages to find a way."You can almost feel Graham's Coyote level of frustration as his Road Runner Trump "always manages to find a way" over and over and over again to escape carefully planned doom. BEEP! BEEP!

The Atlantic magazine's unintentionally hilarious IF TRUMP WINS series warns its readers of the scary apocalyptic future should Donald Trump emerge victorious in 2024, but Helen Lewis brought a mildly moderating tone to the flock, urging the Trump-loathing readers not to "go bonkers" again as they did after Trump won in 2016. Should the unthinkable happen again, Lewis urged her readers not to go full mental jacket as explained in the title, "THE LEFT CAN’T AFFORD TO GO MAD."

If you think the governor of the failing state of California, Gavin Newsom, has a lot of gall traveling to Red states to lecture them on what they are doing wrong, you are not alone. Disgust over Newsom's egregious political antics has even appeared in the liberal Atlantic magazine in an article on Friday by Conor Friedersdorf, "Gavin Newsom Is Not Governing." Ironically that was the very day that Newsom was forced to send National Guard troops into San Francisco in a desperate attempt to resolve the severe drug and homeless crises in that city that was allowed to fester...

VIDEOThe Atlantic Magazine conference at the University of Chicago on the subject of "Disinformation" was hilariously undermined by college students asking the right questions. The premise of the conference was to give "legacy" media more power to suppress what it considers to be "disinformation" which, in reality, is TRUE information that counters what the media finds to be inconvenient information.

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of Atlantic magazine, penned an article on the subject of disinformation to lead into the magazine's conference with Obama strategist David Axelrod in Chicago. We might expect him to at least mention the recent exposure of the falsehood that the information on Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation."Now that The New York Times and The Washington Post finally got around to admitting the authenticity of Hunter's emails, you'd think now is a time for engaging with this inconvenient truth. However, in Goldberg's Wednesday article on the topic -- "Disinformation Is the Story of Our Age" --...

Atlantic magazine, owned by billionaire widow of Steve Jobs, Laurene Powell Jobs, published an essay Monday congratulating President Joe Biden for the Afghan evacuation that has thus far left 13 U.S. service members dead and numerous amounts of military gear in the hands of the Taliban terrorists. “If anything, Americans should feel proud of what the U.S. government and military have accomplished in these past two weeks,” Jobs’ publication claimed. “President Biden deserves credit, not blame.” Jobs’ magazine praised the deadly evacuation as “one of the most extraordinary logistical feats in their recent history” by pointing to the number of...

One measure of how far Joe Biden's stature has fallen among liberals due to the disastrous exit failure from Afghanistan is how even many in the media that until recent recent publicly adored him, have now turned against Biden. And perhaps no better example of this is the harsh criticism of Biden by Atlantic magazine contributing writer Peter Wehner on Wednesday starting with the title of his article, "Biden’s Long Trail of Betrayals."

VIDEOWell-known writer Anne Applebaum wrote a hit piece on Mike Lindell in a recent Atlantic Magazine article. In this video I show just what a smear job it was because she also lied about MyPillow due to her extreme animosity towards Lindell and his upcoming Cyber Symposium at FrankSpeech.Com that liberals fear so much that they are laughably pretending that it "could destroy democracy."

VIDEO I know Joe Biden has cognitive ability issues but perhaps someone should tell him that the LIE he has been repeating, and repeated again today in Tampa, about what President Donald Trump supposedly called veterans has been DISCREDITED. Saagar Enjeti of The Hill Rising, hardly a friend of Trump, reveals just how fake the Atlantic magazine article smear was. Since Biden is pretty much not in the sentinent being loop any longer, it is a crime that his DNC handlers have not given him a heads up that he is constantly repeating a DISCREDITED lie.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the non-existent testimony of two witnesses prove beyond a shadow of doubt the guilt of the defendant." Even a lawyer with much less ability than a Perry Mason would easily get such a declaration laughed out of court. However, that is exactly the assertion that John King made on CNN's Inside Politics on Sunday when he declared there was something somehow significant by the fact that two generals (actually three according to the chyron) have remained silent on the Atlantic magazine charge that President Donald Trump called fallen veterans "suckers" and "losers."

VIDEO Why would a Congressman in a swing district with a strong challenger stick his neck out to help verify a very dubious hit piece upon President Trump in the Atlantic magazine? Such is the mystery of Pennsylvania Congressman Conor Lamb. You can get the details of about his possible role in the current controversy by doing a web search but this video might explain why he might have felt pressure to participate in that scheme. As you can see, Lamb basically threw Joe Biden under the bus in a big way on the very day Biden was accepting...

CNN's Chris Cillizza hyped the Atlantic magazine smear upon President Donald Trump on Friday (updated on Saturday) in "Here's the problem for Donald Trump with the Atlantic story." Well, to paraphrase that title, here's the problem for Chris Cillizza with the Atlantic story: it never even mentioned the one very prominent non-anonymous source that came forward to upend that story, namely John Bolton. Since Bolton was very inconvenient to the narrative Cillizza was trying to promote, he simply avoided acknowledging him in any way. Here is Cillizza hyping anonymous sources while skipping mention of a very real credible source that...

VIDEO The problem with lying about something is that you often have many many things to remember when attempting to pull off a lie. And one of the big things the conveniently anonymous sources for the Atlantic Magazine smear article forgot to remember when they claimed that President Trump called war dead "losers" and "suckers" was the presence of former National Security Adviser John Bolton, no friend of Trump, who firmly denied hearing Trump saying that even though he was the present with him during the time frame in question. However, rather than concede that the smear has fallen...

She tried. Oh, how she tried. However, no matter how many times Atlantic magazine writer Emma Green tried to get the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, Leith Anderson, to criticize President Trump, she failed completely, as you can see in her Wednesday interview, "Evangelicalism’s Silent Majority."Green kicks off the interview by attempting to extract the desired criticism from her subject:

It is no surprise to find out that the Democrats are impeaching President Trump for strictly political reasons. What is a surprise is that The Atlantic magazine revealed that is the main motivation for impeachment. Assistant editor Elaine Godfrey throws out a few obligatory civics lessons nods about the "democratic process" or "seeking the truth" but she quickly gets to the heart of the matter in Friday's article, which concedes the brutal truth for liberals that "Democrats Know Trump Isn’t Going Anywhere."

Remember how many members of the mainstream media derided the video that President Donald Trump gave to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un? They wrote it off as something like a mere elevator pitch video for selling timeshares. Well, that was the first impression of CNN host Michael Smerconish...until he watched it a second time and came to realize that it could be a very effective video. On Saturday he interviewed a former U.S. diplomat and psychiatrist who agreed that it was indeed a very effective video.

Although we still hear her whining about the election results behind the scenes, Hillary Clinton has mostly stayed out of the public limelight since her big loss. However, according to Atlantic magazine writer Megan Garber, there is a whole other Hillary Clinton who could become a "voice of advocacy" as well as a leader of "political resistance" to the Donald Trump presidency. This alternate Hillary is the Saturday Night Live parody version of Hillary Clinton. I kid you not. The funniest thing about the idea of a fictional parody Hillary leading the opposition to Donald Trump on SNL is that Garber...

James Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic, usually presents an image of himself as a "reasonable" liberal. However yesterday he revealed his inner moonbat with an article title worthy of a thread name in the sanity challenged Democratic Underground: "5 Signs the United States is Undergoing a Coup." After a few hours of reflection, Fallows realized he allowed too much of his moonbat side to be displayed to the public so he altered the title with this explanation Midnight update: This item went up three hours ago with a more blunt-instrument headline than it should ever have had: "5 Signs...
