An estimated 22,000 Second Amendment advocates rallied on the streets of Richmond, Virginia, and the steps of the state capitol Monday in a powerful demonstration against recently enacted (and potentially forthcoming) gun-control legislation. In the days leading up to the rally, no shortage of hay had been made as Virginia’s newly elected Democratic legislature and…
This isn’t just “fake news,” it’s outright fraud. CNN political analyst and former Clinton White House press secretary Joe Lockhart confirmed the worst suspicions of conservatives about the honesty of mainstream media figures on Wednesday by using his Twitter account to post a completely fabricated conversation he originally claimed to have overheard between Republican senators…
Democratic presidential primary candidate Tulsi Gabbard upped the ante this week, filing a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton. Coming in light of a major media standoff between the two late last year, the suit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges Clinton did tangible damage…
Last week, I learned from the Manu Raju-Martha McSally spat that you have to treat every reporter from CNN as if they’re an upstanding, objective patriot, no matter what you might think of them. This week, I learned that CNN’s has absolutely no problem hiring a White House correspondent who called the GOP “fundamentally broken.”…
Well-known CNN personality Jim Acosta tried to intercept Ivanka Trump this week, but was expertly boxed out as her security detail left the reporter in the dust. The network’s chief White House correspondent confronted the first daughter Tuesday in Davos, Switzerland. Ivanka Trump and her father, President Donald Trump, were in the European nation for…
The news media is to blame for dividing America, according to a new poll. A Hill-HarrisX poll released Friday found that 75 percent of those polled believe how the media report the news further divides America politically, according to The Hill. HarrisX polled 1,001 registered voters across the country and reported a margin of error…
If you were reading the original version of The Hill’s recent piece on South Dakota’s proposed bill on treatments for transgender youth, the first paragraph probably sounded exceptionally dire. “A new bill in South Dakota would make it illegal to provide health care to transgender minors,” began the piece by Alexandra Kelley — published last…
A Republican senator who understands what real combat is all about derided the ruffled feathers over at CNN caused by a pair of words for which she refuses to apologize. The Beltway brouhaha began when CNN congressional correspondent Manu Raju lobbed a question at fast-walking Republican Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona, who as an Air…
You can get yourself into an awful lot of trouble these days for the mere act of living in reality. Such is the case of Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, a member of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Duncan is a Trump appointee, one who was savaged by the left during his…
When it comes to the family of President Donald Trump, the media microscope has been trained on every nook and cranny of their lives. But the media has been derelict in its duty to do the same to the family of former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. After Trump…
The general assumption regarding Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s claim that Sen. Bernie Sanders told her a woman couldn’t win the presidency in 2020 is that it was a coordinated leak by her campaign. If that’s the case, I’m kind of at a loss as to why anyone thought now was a good time to play another…
The United States may have pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, but Iran continues to remain a signatory, if not a particularly happy one. Tehran’s strategy, at this point, seems to be to threaten to break the strictures of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action if it doesn’t get what it wants — which,…
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign put CNN on blast Wednesday for exhibiting what it said was pro-Elizabeth Warren bias during Tuesday night’s Democratic debate in Des Moines, Iowa. Sanders and Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, have been at odds this week after CNN reported Monday that Sanders told Warren in a private December 2018 meeting he…
A news anchor within the Iranian state media apparatus has reportedly made a very public exit, announcing via social media she could no longer continue telling “lies” on behalf the Islamist regime.

There were plenty of big moments that took place even before LSU defeated Clemson 42-25 Monday night at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans to win the college football national championship. For one thing, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump made an appearance, walking out onto the field for the pregame playing…
In the 100 days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the impeachment investigation, a recent study found the top three evening newscasts have broadcast 93 percent negative coverage of President Donald Trump. The recent analysis by the Media Research Center also found that ABC, CBS and NBC have pushed at least 124 hours of coverage…
Even though Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann accepted a settlement from CNN after he sued the cable network for defamation earlier this week, the teen’s fight for his reputation is far from over. Now the teen and his legal team are facing off against another lawyer, Robert Barnes, for claiming that he represents…
I was surprised to see the headline for David Brooks’ latest opinion piece at The New York Times, which I agreed with wholeheartedly: “Trump Has Made Us All Stupid.” Yes, President Donald Trump has made plenty of people stupid — Brooks among them. Anyone who read his head-slappingly preposterous “Flyover Man vs. Urban Guy” piece —…
During Donald Trump’s first major rally of the election year, the president criticized House Democrats and defended his decision to launch the airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. “They’re saying, ‘You should get permission from Congress, you should come in and tell us what you want to do — you should come in and…
Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani was a terrorist. The leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force killed hundreds of American service members and had the blood of many more on his hands. He was a commander in a terrorist organization that stifled dissent at home and abroad. I don’t say this as if…
