MELBOURNE, Australia — If the United States had the same COVID death rate as Australia, about 900,000 lives would have been saved. The Texas grandmother who made the perfect pumpkin pie might still be baking. The Red Sox-loving husband who ran marathons before COVID might still be cheering at Fenway Park. For many Americans, imagining what might have been will be painful. But especially now, at the milestone of 1 million deaths in the United States, the nations that did a better job of keeping people alive show what Americans could have done differently and what might still need to...

Arab-American "Palestinian-journalist" Barghouti calls for the end [of the State] of Israel: 'Can not exist beyond 2022' [WP "columnist"] Mariam Barghouti, an American-Palestinian journalist, tweeted the following on her Twitter account last night: "Yes.

What began as a straightforward U.S. policy of arming the Ukrainians has expanded into a dangerous and rapid escalation.The New York Times on Wednesday published an op-ed by Tom Stevenson arguing what some of us have been arguing for a while now: the Biden administration is openly — and recklessly — pursuing a policy of escalation in Ukraine that represents a new and very dangerous phase in the war.Stevenson, a journalist who reported from Ukraine in the opening weeks of the war, argues that initially the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies responded to Russia’s invasion...

Lindsey Graham playing politics and flip-flopping in his effort to stay in the center has come to light again as new audio recorded on Jan 6 is highlighted in a book by Reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, who write for the New York Times. Martin and Burns obtained the audio, and discuss it in their book which they discussed on Anderson Cooper’s show Tuesday night. Graham has been all over the place with his stance on Trump. The four-term senator from South Carolina called the president ‘uninformed’ and said he would be an ‘absolute, utter disaster’ for the party...

A reporter for Rewire News Group called for "more" violence against pro-life Americans over the weekend as she appeared to celebrate reports of vandalism against the headquarters of a pro-life group in Wisconsin. "More of this. May these people never know a moment of peace or safety until they rot in the ground," Caroline Reilly wrote in a now-deleted tweet Sunday evening, responding to a report from The New York Times about the vandalism.

The Hollywood lawyer who allegedly loaned Hunter Biden $2 million-plus to pay off his tax debts is reportedly working on a documentary about the scandal-scarred first son’s life since he came under scrutiny for his controversial overseas business dealings. The project is apparently part of the legal and media strategy being developed by Kevin Morris amid an ongoing federal grand jury probe of Biden over potential tax fraud, money laundering and violations of lobbying laws. It was revealed by a Democratic Party source in Washington, DC, according to CBS News, which first reported on the connections between the two men....

A manhunt for a corrections officer who disappeared last month with an inmate accused of murder in Alabama ended Monday with the two in custody after a police pursuit resulted in a crash in Indiana, the authorities said. The officer, Vicky White, had been on the run with the inmate, Casey White, since April 29, when they left the Lauderdale County Jail in Florence, Ala., for a courthouse appointment that was later revealed to be a fabrication. The two, who are not related, had last been seen on that day in Rogersville, Ala., about 24 miles east of Florence, Marty...

VIDEOEven their own New York Times reporter, Matthew Rosenburg, admitted to Project Veritas that there were a "ton of FBI informants" among the Capitol Hill crowd on January 6. Despite this the Times is desperate for us to believe that Ray Epps was not among them. Their proof? Well, according to their May 5, 2022 article, it is because Ray Epps said he was not an informant for the FBI or any other federal agency. Well, that sure convinced me. Case closed! The New York Times just shot down another conspiracy theory as crazy as the idea that the Hunter...

Former US officials and diplomats in recent days have sharply criticized the Biden administration over a New York Times report based on conversations with senior officials that said US intelligence was helping Ukraine kill Russian generals. "Shut up about it," John Sipher, a former CIA officer who served in Russia, said in a tweet on the Times report. Michael McFaul, a former US ambassador to Russia, in a tweet responding to Sipher said, "Exactly. No one should be talking to press about such things."

It’s not too much to ask that Congress debate and vote on whether to authorize a U.S. march to war that’s now well underway. The New York Times claimed this week that the United States is providing real-time battlefield intelligence to Ukraine that has enabled the Ukrainians to target and kill approximately a dozen Russian generals, and helped >locate and strike the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea fleet last month. Described as a “classified effort,” the U.S. provision of targeting intelligence to Ukraine “also includes anticipated Russian troop movements gleaned from recent American assessments of Moscow’s secret battle plan for...

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that Roe v. Wade was always a “fragile” ruling and pointed out that former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg expressed similar concerns about the decision back in 1992. Brooks also argued that it was always a risky proposition to hang abortion’s legality on the Roe decision and it’s important to note that there is a difference between arguing abortion is a constitutional right and arguing for its legality as a matter of policy.

At least blue-chackmarked left-wing ideologue has deleted their Twitter account since Twitter agreed to a shareholder buyout by Elon Musk. However, it remains to be seen if she stays away or comes back. Amanda Duarte writes articles for the entertainment section of the New York Times. She is also an actress in the tv show Accident, Suicide, or Murder on the Oxygen channel. Tuesday evening, she tweeted that “white supremacist lawmakers” would change their views on abortion if their white daughters were “raped and impregnated by black men.” By “white supremacist lawmakers,” she appears to be referring to the Justices...

Last week, New York Times Reporter Jonathan Martin released his highly anticipated book, “This Will Not Pass’. The book tears open old wounds within both the Democrat and Republican parties. Last month, Martin released excerpts from the book that exposed discord within the Biden administration, including Kamala Harris accusing Biden’s ‘white inner circle’ of being racist.The book also reveals that RINOs within the Republican Party were hand-wringing after the unrest that occurred on January 6th at the Capitol. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he was happy that President Trump had “finally, totally discredited himself” after the ‘Stop the...

As if Islamist-lobby CAIR's linked Raja Abudlrahim Feb/2022 -- who termed Jihadi racist "Palestinian" terrorists butchers targeting the unarned as "freedom fighters" hire wasn't enough... Now a former intern for infamous Arab "Palestinian" bigot TRashida Tlaib 's Hiba Yazbek added to the ranting hate propaganda team.

I've said it before, and I say it again. The 1619 Project is a lie from the pit of hell. It has prostituted one of the most ghastly and hideously loathsome promoters of the continued Marxian objectives of Democrats since their demonic origins. The 1619 Project was invented by Nikole Hannah-Jones and is based upon what she has openly admitted are lies. She tweeted: "The fight over the 1619 Project is not about [factual] history. It is about memory. I've always said that the 1619 Project is not a history. It is a work of journalism that explicitly seeks to...

Last weekend, New York Times “political and investigative reporter” Nicholas Confessore disgorged more than 15,000 words in an effort to smear and vilify Fox News host Tucker Carlson and his viewers. Confessore’s real goal, obviously, was to terrify Carlson’s advertisers to withdraw from the highest-rated cable TV talk show in America. Carlson, Confessore and the Times want readers to think, is nothing more than a televangelist for “white nationalists.” Confessore offers not just one but three absurdly long and profoundly idiotic pieces to his Carlson hit job. The first story will suffice to get the flavor. That’s where Confessore uses...

......... In a 2019 profile, the New York Times reported that Broeksmit is the son of a Deutsche Bank executive who died by suicide in 2014. After his father's death, Broeksmit gained access to his father's email account and files related to the bank, the Times reported. Federal and state authorities were scrutinizing allegations of criminal misconduct and the bank's long relationship with former President Donald Trump, the New York Times reported.

The New York Times unleashed a flurry of negative press against Tucker Carlson this weekend. The Times published five articles about Carlson on Saturday, including one hit piece that suggested that his ultra-successful Fox News talk show “may be the most racist show in the history of cable news.” In one article titled “Inside the Apocalyptic Worldview of ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’” the Times assigned nine staffers to watch or read transcripts of 1,150 episodes of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” between Nov. 14, 2016, when it first aired, until 2021. The analysis was carried out in an effort to “reveal how Tucker...
