A Washington Post columnist suggested Monday that the magic solution to rampant inflation and supply chain impediments would be to allow more illegal immigrants into the country. Catherine Rampell wrote a piece titled that “Democrats are missing the bigger immigration issue,” noting that “Democrats are terrified that a coming border surge might tank their midterm chances.” She then went on to suggest that problems will occur not with “too many immigrants” but rather “too few.” Rampell claims, without any evidence or authority, that inflation will start to recede if there are more migrants “who can fill critical labor-market shortages.” She...

CBS has released their latest YouGov Poll [DATA HERE], again showing the top priorities of the American people are not even on the radar of the American government. The DC beltway disconnect is stark. Interestingly, the recent survey of Pennsylvania voters done by Reuters, turned up this almost identical priority list, only Rusia/Ukraine did not even appear in the top five. The economy, inflation, gas prices, crime and immigration are the top five issues across the board, in almost every poll. _________________ Unfortunately, our opinion doesn’t matter, and frustratingly, the people using Biden as a tool to achieve their goals...

Guest Michael Lewis claimed U.S. less prepared for COVID-19 now than in March 2020Wednesday’s "CBS Mornings" had harsh words for Americans who have chosen to remain unvaccinated against the coronavirus. A panel featuring author and podcast host Michael Lewis discussed what they considered the United States’ struggle with handling COVID-19, noting Lewis previously claimed the U.S. was less prepared than it was in March 2020.

A CBS News executive told staff earlier this month that the network was hiring more Republicans as analysts because he believed there would "likely" be a Democratic wipeout in the 2022 midterm elections, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a leaked recording it obtained. Neeraj Khemlani, a CBS News copresident, made the remark just before the announcement that the network had hired Mick Mulvaney, who briefly served as President Donald Trump's chief of staff, as an analyst. The decision sparked internal backlash, The Post reported. In February 2020, Mulvaney accused journalists of exaggerating the impact of the coronavirus to...

Corporate news giants such as NBC, CBS, and ABC, have not mentioned Hunter Biden's name in 259 days, according to a study conducted by the Media Research Center. "It has now been 259 days — 37 weeks — since July 12, 2021. That's when any of the corrupt network newscasts last uttered the words 'Hunter Biden.'

CBS News hasn’t put the same kind of spotlight on weather as many of its rivals, but that may all be about to change as quickly as a shift in the wind. The Paramount Global news unit is teaming with The Weather Channel to bring more reporting on weather and climate to CBS News programs including “CBS Mornings” and “The CBS Evening News,” as well as the division’s streaming efforts. “This is a holistic partnership that brings together the scale of both companies’ reporting teams, technologies and audiences,” says Neeraj Khemlani, co-president of CBS News and Stations, in a prepared...

OK, I'm a sucker for the CBS action shows NCIS and FBI (also CSI when they had those). You have to swallow hard at some of the woke plots, but there's good action. Anyway, a few years ago, FBI made its debut with a plot about a gang of hispanic bombers in the inner city. As it turns out, they were being financed and controlled by a conservative radio talk show host (gee, I wonder who that might be...) who wanted to make immigrants look bad. With the lead characters being a woman and an arab agent, every week they...

The West’s severance from Russia became more apparent this week when CNN International, ABC, CBS, and other major news outlets announced they will stop broadcasting in the Eastern European country following its invasion of Ukraine.

The U.S. has intelligence that Russian commanders have received orders to proceed with an invasion of Ukraine, with commanders on the ground making specific plans for how they would maneuver in their sector of the battlefield, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reported on "Face the Nation" Sunday.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is moving forward with plans of invading Ukraine, echoing President Biden's warnings last week. "Everything we're seeing tells us that the decision we believe President Putin has made to invade is moving forward," Blinken said while appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation."

Was just channel surfing and caught Andy Rooney on a late nigth repeat of Larry King Weekend as he said that George Patton has little to do with the liberation of France and defeat of Nazi Germany! He then went into a ramble about Omar Bradley being the commander of Third Army...

A new Gallup poll shows the cratering view the American people have taken of the U.S. economy under President Joe Biden. The Big Three evening news networks buried it for nearly a week. The results of the Gallup survey — released Feb. 2 — of 811 U.S. adults found that a mere 33 percent are satisfied with the state of the U.S. economy. That’s a 10 percentage-point free fall from the same survey conducted in 2021 when 43 percent of Americans were satisfied. The new statistic is also a 35-point drop from the 68 percent of Americans in 2020 who...

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening networks committed one of the most egregious acts of news censorship by ignoring the U.S. debt topping $30 trillion for the first time ever. The U.S. Treasury Department released data on Tuesday showing that the U.S. total public debt outstanding was $30.01 trillion as of Jan. 31. The Wall Street Journal reported the new figure “was a nearly $7 trillion increase from late January 2020, just before the pandemic hit the U.S. economy.” Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget President Maya MacGuineas reportedly told The Journal that the enormous spike in the national debt...

Liberal billionaire George Soros is back to his old tricks, trying to use gigantic cash flows to influence the outcome of U.S. elections. The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows are sweeping it under the rug. Soros is seeding his leftist super PAC — Democracy PAC — with a whopping $125 million, according to ProPublica data. The billionaire reportedly told Politico in a Jan. 28 story that the new funding was supporting “pro-democracy ‘causes and candidates, regardless of political party’ who are invested in ‘strengthening the infrastructure of American democracy: voting rights and civic participation, civil rights and liberties,...

CBS News addressed the ongoing targeting of Joe Rogan for censorship, suggesting that the podcast host is killing people by spreading COVID misinformation.While claiming that they are in favour of free speech, the talking heads on CBS Mornings declared Rogan’s show to be “dangerous.” “You have a First Amendment right to say what you want. You don’t have a First Amendment right to appear on a platform as large as Spotify, that’s the issue,” said one of the script readers. After flashing up a graph showing rates of unvaccinated hospitalisations (figures grossly distorted by the lack of distinction between people...
