Sunday, during CNN’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention, former Obama political adviser David Axelrod said if the election were today, it could go for Republican former President Donald Trump, despite Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris’ lead in some national polls. “David Axelrod, how encouraged should Democrats be?” host Anderson Cooper asked. “Is there a danger of them actually being kind of too euphoric?” “Yeah, I’ve been talking about this for some time,” Axelrod replied. “Look she has made extraordinary progress. We were all in Milwaukee a month ago, and there was euphoria there and a sense that this race...

Robbin Bain, who covered fashion and beauty as a “Today Girl” on the NBC morning show, died Oct. 21 in Southampton, NY. She was 87. Bain’s daughter, Lara McLanahan, told Deadline that breast cancer was the cause of her death. Born on Aug. 10, 1936, Barbara Jane Bain’s career got underway in 1959 when the Queens native was crowned Miss Rheingold, which was the region’s most popular beer at the time. Earning the $50,000 prize, Bain made several appearances across the US and Europe and was even tapped for Revlon and Helena Rubinstein ads.

Consumer price inflation in December, at 7%, was last this high in the summer of 1982. That’s about all the two periods have in common. Today, the inflation rate is on the rise. Back then, it was falling. It had peaked at 14.8% in 1980, while Jimmy Carter was still president and the Iranian revolution had pushed up oil prices. Core inflation that year reached 13.6%.

Here we go again! The ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows protected President Joe Biden by censoring another horrible report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The BLS reported at 8:30 a.m. today that the U.S. economy added only 194,000 jobs in the month of September. The BLS figure completely dismantled predictions by economists surveyed by Refinitiv who were expecting a 500,000 increase. That means predictions were off by a whopping 306,000 jobs. CATO Director for Tax Policy Studies Chris Edwards told the MRC in response to the BLS report that “[l]arge and small businesses are surely worried...

Willard Scott, who forecast the weather for NBC's "Today" show for more than three decades and spent 65 years at NBC, has died, Al Roker said in an Instagram post on Saturday. "We lost a beloved member of our @todayshow family this morning. Willard Scott passed peacefully at the age of 87 surrounded by family, including his daughters Sally and Mary and his lovely wife, Paris," Roker captioned a series of heartwarming photos of him and Scott. Roker went on to call Scott his "second dad" and said Scott's "generous spirit" helped his career get to where it is today....

ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows ignored an abysmal jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to further insulate President Joe Biden from bad news. The BLS reported at 8:30 a.m. Friday that the U.S. economy only added an embarrassingly low 235,000 jobs in August, against an economists’ forecast of 720,000 jobs. That means projections were off by a whopping 485,000 jobs. The Wall Street Journal said that many employers are reporting “difficulty filling job openings, which touched record highs this summer.” ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA), CBS This Morning, NBC’s Today and NBC’s Third Hour of...

I could find another thread on today's events in the Senate Chamber.

Restaurants depleted by a nearly year-long crisis are swinging open their doors and welcoming diners back to dining rooms and roadside tables in bids for survival. But the growing government laxity around restaurant dining is not a sign that either practice is necessarily safe, nor that decreasing positivity rates will continue without ongoing vigilance. On the contrary, new variants of the coronavirus, along with more than 100,000 new infections still being recorded nationally each day, may make this moment more dangerous than the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak, for workers and diners alike. There are real reasons to be...

I am making this post so it will show back up as a future memory on my timeline: This today is Creepy Joe’s inauguration. Gasoline is currently $1.97 per gallon. Interest rates are 2.25 percent for a 30 year mortgage. The stock market closed at 30829.40 though we have been fighting COVID for 11 months. Our GDP growth for the 3rd Qtr was 33.1 percent. We had the best economy ever until COVID and it is recovering well. We have not had any new wars or conflicts in the last 4 years. North Korea has been under control and has...

My dear friends, A goofy title... yes... but the question at hand is a simple one. WHAT WILL WE DO/WHO WILL WE CHOOSE? Will we continue to look for worldly solutions and human saviors in this demonically driven fallen temporal world or will we finally come to the end of ourselves and finally trust in and look to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS KING of kings and LORD of lords; who is the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR and PRINCE of PEACE (Isa. 9:6-7, Rev. 19:11-16). All ETERNITY is before us and our brief existence in this fallen world is a "snap of the finger"...

Reasons I vote for Conservatives The booming Economy-it’s not Obama’s Low Unemployment (magic wand) Purposeful foreign policy Filling the judiciary with constitutional originalists Restored defense spending The end of the Iranian deal and secret cash payments The end of the Paris climate accords Embracing Israel, and the end of accommodating radical Islam The end of NAFTA The start of blexit and the revelation of what Democrats have promised and not delivered for African-Americans The end of “open borders“ The end of using euphemisms (dreamers, migrants, undocumented workers, immigrants, residents...) instead of saying “illegal aliens“ Rebuilding pride in nationalism (even for...

We'll miss you, Kathie Lee! It's the end of an era, as Kathie Lee Gifford said goodbye on Friday after 11 years on TODAY, complete with laughs, tears, hugs, champagne — and an amazing giveaway to everyone in the audience.

Despite what was a much delayed but important avalanche of headlines about the group’s anti-Semitism, the 2019 Women’s March took place Saturday and it still received nearly 15 times the broadcast network newscast coverage of the 47th annual March for Life that was held Friday.  Between Wednesday morning and Saturday evening, the Women’s March fetched 14 minutes and 26 seconds of coverage on the ABC, CBS, and NBC morning and evening newscasts. This stood in stark contrast to just 58 seconds for the March for Life. The Women’s March still went on despite their controversies with some satellite marches divorcing...

Friday night, the Special Counsel’s office released an extremely rare statement that took a buzz saw to BuzzFeed News’s Thursday night bombshell that alleged President Trump directed former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about possible construction of a Trump Tower in Moscow. In the statement, a Mueller spokesman called it “not accurate.” Despite the fact that the BuzzFeed News story was not confirmed by — well — any news outlet from when it was first published to the statement from Mueller’s team, the broadcast networks devoted 27 minutes and 33 second on their Friday morning and...

On Sunday’s Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd eagerly touted the latest Gallup poll showing 51% of Democrats and 26% of Americans overall identifying themselves as “liberal.” He excitedly told viewers that “Democrats are embracing the label” and that it was “no longer a dirty word” in politics. “Not long ago, Republicans loved calling Democrats liberal. They didn’t mean it as a compliment. And for a while, it was effective. Today, Democrats are embracing the label,” Todd proclaimed as he teased the upcoming segment. Minutes later, during the show’s Data Download segment, the NBC moderator hyped the new Gallup survey...

According to recent court filings, President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen told federal prosecutors that he was directed by the then-candidate to pay hush money to two women to help sway the outcome of the 2016 election. Even though Cohen admitted he had previously lied under oath to Congress, ABC and NBC spent part of their Sunday morning news programs suggesting it was all over for the Trump administration. “We now have a president of the United States who has essentially been implicated in a felony by his own Justice Department,” boasted ABC anchor Dan Harris to chief global...
