VIDEOJen Psaki just can't say the name of President Donald Trump whom she called "The Other Guy" at a press conference yesterday. Another person who couldn't call President Trump by his name was a reporter who asked if the upcoming Trump rally in Cleveland could incite violence. As Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show (AM 1470 WWNN Radio 6 to 9 AM ET), described that question, it was a "foreshadowing." The Democrats and their media allies would love nothing better than a shutdown of Trump rallies due to the excuse of violence caused by guess who. Hint:...

CNN's Brian Stelter's ratings continue to plummet after his Father's Day episode of 'Reliable Sources' drew only 656,000 viewers in his least-watched showing of 2021. It marks the the 12th consecutive week Stelter's show failed to hit one million views. In comparison, Fox News, which Stelter has been critical of, airs 'MediaBuzz' during Stelter's direct timeslot. That show averages 1.14 million viewers to top 'Reliable Sources' by 74 percent, Fox News reported.

It was a moment to behold. The reporter was of magnificent stock. Her name is Nancy Cordes and she was ready to face off with Jen Psaki over the practice of throwing around patronage jobs to the kids of Joe Biden’s pals. “Can you describe what safeguards the administration has in place to make sure that the children of top officials don’t get preferential treatment in hiring?” It was perfectly executed and surely Psaki would have to spill the beans and admit defeat. But the red headed daughter of Connecticut is nothing if not audacious and pushed a fleet of...

Biden can't stop asking reporters to 'give him a break' when the corporate media repeatedly hand him break after break on silver platters.Joe Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor. Kamala Harris’ oh-so-cool Timberland boots. The Biden family dogs. Playing Mario Kart at Camp David with the Biden grandkids. The president’s early bedtime and fires in the Oval Office fireplace. These are just a handful of the softball topics the corporate media have fawned over since even before Biden took office, a drastic reversal of tone to their antagonistic coverage of the Trump administration.But the corporate media fan club isn’t enough to...

Shelley Moore Capito, the White House said Tuesday.The development came after Biden reportedly failed to get the Republicans on board with increasing their overall spending on the plan."He [Biden] informed Senator Capito today that the latest offer from her group did not, in his view, meet the essential needs of our country to restore our roads and bridges, prepare us for our clean energy future, and create jobs," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement.

CNN's Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter has come under fire from both the left and right for directing a series of softball questions at White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki Sunday, prompting conservative journalist Glenn Greenwald to slam the on-air exchange as 'one of the most sycophantic interviews of a state official you'll ever see.' Stelter opened the interview on Sunday by asking Psaki: 'what does the press get wrong when covering Biden's agenda?' Psaki replied: 'some of our muscles have atrophied a little bit over the last few years, and there isn’t a lot of memory — recent memory...

“Please spank us.” That was the essence of what CNN’s Brian Stelter begged of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. It was a plea for punishment. A beastial desire to be corrected. It was violent but erotic with the raw physicality of “Fifty Shades of Grey” and the tortuous titillation of 9 1/2 Weeks. You could see it in his eyes. “What does the press get wrong when covering Biden’s agenda?” (We’ve been very, very bad. Tell us all the ways. Leave no implement of pain holstered.) “When you watch the news, when you read the news, what do you...

Facebook announced Friday that it will ban former President Donald Trump until at least 2023 — with Trump shooting back, “Next time I’m in the White House there will be no more dinners, at his request, with Mark Zuckerberg and his wife. It will be all business!” The decision means that Trump might still be able to regain access to his Facebook and Instagram accounts in time for the 2024 campaign if he seeks a rematch against President Biden. But Facebook said it may decide to ban Trump even longer than the two years — and White House Press Secretary...

President Joe Biden believes illegal aliens are part “of what the American Dream represents,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday. The comment came when a reporter asked Psaki to explain why Biden had just met with six illegal aliens who are campaigning for national amnesty. The six illegals were brought to the United States as children by their illegal alien parents without legal or public approval. They are enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s legally uncertain work-permit program, dubbed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The questioner asked, “What message is the president trying to send by having...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki argued Tuesday that former President Donald Trump did not help bring peace to the Middle East, even as historic violence has erupted between Israel and Palestine under President Joe Biden’s administration. “Aside from putting forward a peace proposal that was dead on arrival, we don’t think they did anything constructive really to bring an end to the long-term conflict in the Middle East,” Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday during a trip to Michigan. AD Psaki reacted to a reporter’s mention of the Trump administration’s Abraham Accords that worked to normalize...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is suggesting Joe Biden has not visited the southern border because there is reportedly low public interest in the matter. During an episode of “The Axe Files” podcast, hosted by David Axelrod, Psaki touched on the situation at the border and why the president has not visited. “What we’ve tried to do in general in thinking about how we use his time, is really think about what the public cares about. The public cares about the pandemic, the economy. We’re often asked, ‘Why doesn’t he go to the border?’ Important issue. We’re focused on...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a press conference today, Press Secretary Jen Psaki reminded Americans that they must turn in their permission slips for eating a delicious grilled July 4th hot dog by this Friday. "We know you people enjoy your hot dogs, but it is the top priority of this administration that you enjoy this food safely," said Psaki cheerfully.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tends lets her daily briefings run long, but she doesn't intend to linger in her powerful post – with plans for an exit in 2022. 'I think it's going to be time for somebody else to have this job, in a year from now or about a year from now,' she told former White House and Obama campaign colleague David Axelrod on his 'Axe Files' podcast.
