Keith Olbermann Wishes for Trump Assassination, Then Tries to Backpedal with Weak Excuse That No One’s Buying

At any other time, it might have been called a “bloodbath.” The perennially angry and distinctly dishonest commentator Keith Olbermann got a well-earned savaging on social media on Monday after a cowardly retreat from an inflammatory post. But publicly hoping for a political assassination is rarely a winning strategy. Olbermann’s latest burst into the public […]

Who Is Robert Hur? How Would We Know?

“Both sides furious” was one reporter’s summary when special counsel Robert Hur testified in a House hearing to explain his decision not to prosecute President Joe Biden for willfully retaining classified documents, not just from his vice-presidential years but from his Senate career. The network TV stories that night were the closest thing to “fair […]

Why Is President Biden Helping Hamas?

President Joe Biden’s recent foreign policy moves are baffling. By any rational standard, they are undermining Israel and helping Hamas. When Biden was caught on an open microphone following his State of the Union address telling Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado that Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were “going to have a […]

Ethics Issues Remain After Judge’s Decision in Willis-Wade Case

Fulton County, Georgia, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s decision is one fine muddle.  McAfee ruled on Friday in the Fani Willis-Nathan Wade sexual-kickback case: It takes two to tango, but only one is too corrupt to stay on the dance floor.  How does that work? McAfee gave Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis the option to continue her election-interference persecution against […]

Stop Saying Dems Support Abortion Until Birth

GOP campaign consultant Kellyanne Conway urged Republicans to stop highlighting that their Democratic opponents support unfettered abortions of unborn babies, suggesting instead that Republicans focus on consensus. Conway laid out an abortion-related political strategy Wednesday during Politico’s Health Care Summit, at which she also touched on her support for both TikTok and in vitro fertilization. […]

Biden Lied About Why He Pilfered Classified Documents

One of the big takeaways from the newly released transcript of President Joe Biden’s two-day interview with Robert Hur is that the special counsel was being exceedingly generous when describing the president as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Much of the conversation with Hur is littered with barely incoherent answers and […]

ADL’s Partisanship Damages Efforts Against Antisemitism

For over a century, the Anti-Defamation League has enjoyed a reputation as the preeminent Jewish organization combating antisemitism and all forms of hate. Its acronym, ADL, has “household name” status—and not just in Jewish homes. This makes its current penchant for partisanship extraordinarily dangerous for, and beyond, the Jewish community. Last December, Senate Republicans learned […]

Conservatives Win Big in Washington State on Ballot Initiatives

It has been 40 years since a Republican presidential candidate won Washington state. Today, Democrats enjoy a “trifecta” there, controlling the governorship and both chambers of the Washington State Legislature. But despite Democrats’ firm grip on state government, conservatives just scored their own “trifecta” victory in the deep-blue stronghold.   The conservative grassroots organization Let’s […]
