CNN host Dana Bash said Wednesday on her show “Inside Politics” that the pro-Palestinian protesters harassing Jewish students on college campuses shows rising antisemitism in the United States, which she said was “hearkening back to the 1930s in Europe.” Bash said, “We start with destruction, violence and hate on college campuses across the country. This was the scene just a short while ago at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Police clashing with protesters. Twelve people were arrested. Hours earlier, protests rocked the University of Arizona, where campus police used chemical irritant munitions to remove protesters. Around the same time, at...

CNN anchor Dana Bash said Wednesday on “Inside Politics” that the Republican’s impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is turning into “the wildest of goose chases.” Partial transcript as follows: BASH: Paula Reid was up on Capitol Hill this morning. Asked James Comer, the committee chair, about this. Listen to how that went down. PAULA REID: You keep saying “the Bidens.” We’re talking about President Biden specifically. What evidence do you have any profited off his son’s foreign businesses? REP. JAMES COMER: We have two checks. Joe Biden received two payments. We found this through subpoenaed bank records. Two payments....

CNN anchor Dana Bash said Thursday on “Inside Politics” that President Joe Biden’s approval ratings on infrastructure, jobs, climate change, inflation, immigration were “not good.” Bash said, “Let’s put in context the politics of this for President Biden and how important it is—just one example from a Monmouth approval rating poll question. You look at the issues and how he fairs, infrastructure, jobs, climate change, inflation, immigration. He is now 26%. That is not good.”

Republican National Committee boss Ronna McDaniel sparred with CNN host Dana Bash on Sunday over the GOP’s position on abortion, while calling for a messaging recalibration. During a discussion on CNN’s “State of the Union” about GOP setbacks in the off-year elections Tuesday, McDaniel slammed Democrats’ position on late-term abortions, prompting pushback from Bash. “We now know, through science from 50 years ago, a baby feels pain as its life is being taken at 15 weeks,” McDaniel claimed. “Why are Democrats continuing to double down on 39 weeks, 38 weeks?”

CNN anchor Dana Bash said Friday on “Inside Politics” that Attorney General Merrick Garland appointing David Weiss as a special counsel overseeing the investigation into Hunter Biden could keep Republicans investigating the president’s son “at bay.” Partial transcript as follows: PRISCILLA ALVAREZ: But again, this is a White House that is facing increasing pressure when it comes to the president’s son, Hunter Biden. Republicans have slammed the president over all of these legal proceedings and also so much has flirted with a potential impeachment inquiry. Now when that has come up, the White House stance has been that it is...

On Tuesday, CNN anchor Dana Bash said that there was “no evidence to prove it at all” that the United States has “two tiers of justice.” The panel discussed Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, who has agreed to plead guilty to two federal tax misdemeanors and will enter a diversion program related to a gun charge. Bash said, “The Republican response, the Republican — those who feel the need to or the desire to defend Donald Trump are making the same arguments that they are making against Hunter Biden, which is allegations that the DOJ is —...

Antony Blinken represents neither the beginning nor the end of the info ops run to convince voters the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Revisiting the contemporaneous coverage of the laptop story in light of last week’s revelations about Blinken reveals the scandal extends far beyond the Biden campaign and involves government agents. Last week, news broke that a former top CIA official, Michael Morell, testified as part of a House Judiciary Committee investigation that Blinken, now-secretary of state and then-Biden campaign senior adviser, had contacted Morell to discuss the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story. Blinken and Morell...

Dana Bash is taking over for John King in the anchor chair at CNN’s daytime political talk show “Inside Politics.” Bash, who is also as co-anchor of “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper, will take over anchoring duties on “Inside Politics” while King works on a new reporting project focused on voters in key battleground states as the 2024 presidential campaign cycle gets underway, the network said. “The project will follow the voters who pick Presidents and settle close races, giving them a voice and telling in-depth and nuanced stories about how they view politicians and political issues throughout...

President Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats have convinced us that “democracy is on the ballot.” They sent out Biden twice to assure us that if extreme MAGA Republicans sweep the midterms, there might never be another election again. Polling found that Biden’s message wasn’t moving the needle at all with voters, who were more concerned with inflation and the economy. Still, progressives like Jonathan Chait wrote that “of course, democracy is on the ballot.” Fine, run with that message. Better yet, ridicule voters who are more concerned with the price of groceries than the future of our...

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake sparred with anchor Dana Bash over election integrity. Bash said, “You called the 2020 election corrupt, stolen, rotten and rigged. There is no evidence of any of that presented in a court of law or anywhere else that any of those things are true. So why do you keep saying that?” Lake said, “Well, there’s plenty of evidence. We had 740,000 ballots with no chain of custody. Those ballots shouldn’t have been counted.”

The leftist media is never happy. If a Republican candidate or elected official claims the 2020 election was stolen, they throw a tantrum, if a Republican admits President Joe Biden was legitimately elected and he is the current President, they continue asking the question until the exact party approved phrase is uttered. This was the case on Sunday morning's State of the Union on CNN, where co-anchor Dana Bash asked Washington state Republican Senatorial nominee Tiffany Smiley three times whether Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Each time she said yes, but a simple yes apparently wasn't good enough for...

President Biden on Friday made two new appointments to the President's Intelligence Advisory Board and one of them is among the 51 former intelligence officials who signed on to a letter suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop was a product of Russian disinformation. Jeremy Bash, the former chief of staff at the Pentagon and the CIA under President Obama, will now sit on a 16-seat board that serves to give the president advice on matters related to national intelligence. Bash became an outspoken national security pundit for MSNBC during the Trump years. The other appointment was Blair Effron, cofounder of Centerview...

<p>The video was released Thursday by Rep. Cheney’s reelection campaign, two weeks before a Republican primary election in Wyoming that the three-term congresswoman is bracing to lose. Echoing the criticism his daughter has made of Trump, Dick Cheney denounced him as a danger to the country through his relentless lies about the legitimacy of the 2020 election.</p>

Newly elected Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears went toe-to-toe with a CNN host who said that Critical Race Theory was not taught in schools, saying that it has been woven into the curriculum for years. On Sunday morning, Dana Bash quizzed Sears - the first woman the first woman to become Lt. Governor and first woman of color elected to a statewide office in Virginia - on CNN's State of the Union. At one point during the interview, Bash said that CRT was not being taught in schools, at which point Sears interrupted her, saying: 'No, no, no it is...

Thursday, CNN political correspondent Dana Bash reacted to a statement put out by former President Donald Trump, which he described November 3, 2020 as a day of insurrection rather than the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Bash said on “New Day” that she was “physically sick reading that statement.” She said what makes her sick is that Trump continues to push that narrative.

The federal prosecutor Attorney General Bill Barr tapped to investigate whether Obama administration officials improperly requested the unmasking of individuals during the 2016 election has concluded his probe without “finding any substantive wrongdoing,” The Washington Post reported Tuesday. Barr appointed U. S. Attorney Jeremy Bash to review whether there was wrongdoing by the Obama administration in requesting the identities of individuals — in particular Trump allies — whose names are redacted in intelligence reports during the heated election. The practice, known as unmasking, is common and done to help government officials make sense of the intelligence documents they are reviewing,...

Well, this is interesting…. very interesting… U.S. Attorney John Bash, from the Western District of Texas, was given the responsibility by AG Barr of looking into the illegal unmasking by Obama-era officials in July of this year. Not only the illegal unmasking of General Flynn, but more extensive unmasking. Today Bash announced his abrupt resignation. “Abrupt” because he announced today, and he leaves on Friday. However, he does say he informed Barr last month: SAN ANTONIO, Tex. – U.S. Attorney John F. Bash announced today that he will resign from the Department of Justice on Friday, October 9, 2020, at...

Wildcards have been around forever. Some even claim they appear in the hieroglyphics of the ancient Egyptians. Wildcards allow you to specify succinctly a pattern that matches a set of filenames (for example, *.pdf to get a list of all the PDF files). Wildcards are also often referred to as glob patterns (or when using them, as "globbing"). But glob patterns have uses beyond just generating a list of useful filenames. The bash man page refers to glob patterns simply as "Pattern Matching".  First, let's do a quick review of bash's glob patterns. In addition to the simple wildcard characters that are fairly...

While many people welcomed the arrival of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in Windows 10, it has been found to be a potential security issue. A new technique known as a Bashware has been discovered by security researchers that makes it possible for malware to use the Linux shell to bypass security software. While administrator access is needed to execute a Bashware attack, this is fairly easily obtained, and the technique can be used to disguise malicious operations from antivirus software and other security tools. Researchers from Check Point Research point out that the danger stems from the fact that...

Microsoft has announced that Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is coming to Windows Server.Microsoft's adding it to Windows Server for the same reasons it added it to Windows: it wants developers to have whatever tools they prefer at their disposal.Sysadmins are also on Redmond's mind, it says. “If you’re a server engineer that needs to run node.js, Ruby, Python, Perl, Bash scripts or other tools that expect Linux behaviors, environment or filesystem-layout, the ability to install and run Linux with WSL expands the tools at your disposal on Windows Server.”Redmond snuck WSL into Windows Server Insider Build 16237 without including...
