I don't believe Ashley Allison. I don't believe that anyone with the minutest modicum of intelligence or integrity could believe Jasmine Crockett when she denied that in calling Greg Abbott "Governor Hot Wheels," she was referring to the paraplegic Republican Governor of Texas being confined to a wheelchair for decades. And yet, that's what Allison, a CNN contributor and former Obama and Biden aide, said on Tuesday's CNN NewsNight. If CNN had any integrity of its own, they'd never have back on its air someone who so blatantly lied, and lied in respect of a despicable mocking of a disabled...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that it is important to study MAGA to expose “the movement’s vulnerability” and defeat it. Wallace said, “I think the study of MAGA is essential to defeat MAGA. Right? And if you want to go to the country in four years with the political movement that defeats MAGA, you have to understand MAGA. And so to me this is a story that is, the personalities in conflict, you just can’t look away, right? But the idea that one figure, and I think it’s Bannon in this case, is trying to preserve something...

CNN’s Jake Tapper abruptly ended an interview with White House trade adviser Peter Navarro following a tense exchange about President Trump’s decision to initially downplay the threat of the coronavirus. Tapper asked Navarro to discuss a Feb. 7 recording with journalist Bob Woodward in which Trump said the virus is five times deadlier than the flu. In the weeks following, Trump continued to hold large rallies despite knowing the virus was airborne and deadly. On Feb. 26, he told reporters that the flu was more dangerous than the coronavirus. “He was misleading the public. Why?” Tapper asked Navarro on Sunday....

Eighth grade graduation speech given in the manner of the 2016 presidential candidates, and Obama.

Several hours after posting a news story with several errors, including in the headline—about a CNSNews.com reporter asking Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) a question about human life—The Washington Post fixed the errors in the story by reporter Kelsey Snell but only noted one “correction” at the story’s end in the changed copy. On Thursday, Oct. 1, CNSNews.com reporter Sam Dorman attended Pelosi’s weekly press conference at the U.S. Capitol and asked her, “In reference to funding for Planned Parenthood, is an unborn baby with a human heart and a human liver a human being?” […] In Kelsey Snell’s story posted...

Dear Friends: The election is coming up on all of us and we all have strong feelings about it. IÂ’ve been getting asked a lot about where I stand, so for those who are interested, here goes. This presidential election is different than the last one because President Obama has a four year record to run on. Last time around, he carried with him a tremendous amount of hope and expectations. Unfortunately, due to the economic chaos the previous administration left him with, and the extraordinary intensity of the opposition, it turned into a really rough ride. But through grit,...

It's probably also worth noting this Wall St. Journal article from last month -- with a subheadline warning: "Back to Stone Age" -- which describes how "paved roads, historical emblems of American achievement, are being torn up across rural America and replaced with gravel or other rough surfaces as counties struggle with tight budgets and dwindling state and federal revenue." Utah is seriously considering eliminating the 12th grade, or making it optional. And it was announced this week that "Camden [New Jersey] is preparing to permanently shut its library system by the end of the year, potentially leaving residents of...
