This past Thursday, YouGov released a poll showing that 76% of Democrats thought Kyle Rittenhouse was guilty of homicide. Only 5% believed that he was not guilty. Similarly, 69% of blacks thought he was guilty, and only 6% felt that he wasn’t. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote on Twitter that the verdict is a “heartbreaking miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ.” President Biden, who famously called Rittenhouse a white supremacist, also expressed Democrats’ anger: “While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned,...

Bari Weiss has condemned the liberal media and Democrats for convicting Kyle Rittenhouse on a campaign of lies before his case even went before a jury, laying bare how left-wing outlets and members of Congress pedaled lies about the teenager that have now been disproven at his trial. Weiss quit the New York Times last year in a row over how woke the paper had become. Now, she has launched a newsletter and is a founding trustee of The University of Austin, an independent school in Texas that she says will serve as an antidote to the left-wing colleges in...

NBC News senior business correspondent and MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle said Sunday on “Today” that the “dirty little secret” about soaring inflation was, on average, people have the money to pay more for goods. Ruhle said, “Nobody knows exactly when they’re going down, but you have to put all this in perspective. This inflation is not in isolation, and the government predicted it was going to be a challenging recovery, recovery all tied to Covid. So it’s why you see things like that expanded child tax credit. You’ve got the families of over 60 million kids, on average, getting $430...

Within minutes of popular conservative Twitter of Facebook accounts posting fact-based stories about vaccine deaths, face mask studies, or Ivermectin reports, Big Tech does one or more of three things:Slap a “fact-check” on itCensor itSuspend the user who posted itOver 24-hours after it was revealed that the Rolling Stones/KFOR Ivermectin story was a hoax debunked by the hospital in question, none of these things have happened. The original Tweets and Facebook posts are still up and some of the stories are still not corrected.Rolling Stone is taking the heat, but @OgleKatelyn and @kfor originated the story, failing to vet their...

Was the assault and riot at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6 an elaborate plot by nefarious globalists using a tiny cadre of paid actors to create a scenario to cast President Donald Trump in a bad light? Or were the real inciters the legislators inside the building who were working to certify the presidential election? Maybe on some questions, we will never get an answer! Donald Trump ally Pastor Darrell Scott has claimed recent reports revealing that the Capitol Police were told to hold off on their response to the January 6 attack is proof that the riot...

The New York Times is defending their editorial board member who called American flags “disturbing.” Their staff member, Mara Gay, caused a firestorm after her appearance on MSNBC Tuesday. “I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a really dear friend, and I was really disturbed. I saw, you know, dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with explicatives [sic] against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and in some cases just dozens of American flags, which is also just disturbing … Essentially the message was clear: This is my country. This is not your country. I own...

“Please spank us.” That was the essence of what CNN’s Brian Stelter begged of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. It was a plea for punishment. A beastial desire to be corrected. It was violent but erotic with the raw physicality of “Fifty Shades of Grey” and the tortuous titillation of 9 1/2 Weeks. You could see it in his eyes. “What does the press get wrong when covering Biden’s agenda?” (We’ve been very, very bad. Tell us all the ways. Leave no implement of pain holstered.) “When you watch the news, when you read the news, what do you...

VIDEOA sampling of some of the media panic over state voter integrity laws.

'Even as of now, the US government has not launched and broad and serious investigation into where the coronavirus came from' Actually, it looks like this virus did come from a lab in China. Nearly a year and a half into the pandemic, that’s the new consensus in the American media. Boy, these things change fast. There are holdouts of course. Just today, over at the Washington Post, a China shill called Michael Gerson wrote a hilariously overwrought column entitled: "The right is dwelling on slanderous myths about the origins of COVID-19." The radical right! Slanderous myths! Russian QAnon sleeper...

From April 29 to May 3, Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute, a national free-market think tank, conducted a nationwide survey of 2,000 likely voters. From April 29 to May 3, Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute, a national free-market think tank, conducted a nationwide survey of 2,000 likely voters. Included in the poll was a series of questions asking likely voters how they receive news and information, as well as questions about a variety of topics in the news: the U.S. national debt, the percentage of Americans without health coverage, and tax rates paid by wealthy individuals and families....

VIDEOThere was great jubilation among the media and the Democrats back in February when President Donald Trump was ordered to turn over his tax returns to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. Finally, FINALLY they had the evidence that without doubt would absolutely sink him. So what happened? In a word, "nothing." That is why the entire case against Trump now hinges on "boxes and boxes of files" that belong to the former daughter-in-law of the Trump Organization CFO. Yup! It all depends on those "boxes and boxes of files" that might now be stored somewhere near the Lost Ark in...

Everything is a risk. A year ago, this was our last normal weekend and we didn't even know it. Now, we're deep into a pandemic, with ever-rising Covid-19-related deaths, a new strain on the loose and news of people still experiencing symptoms months after testing positive. But as more people get vaccinated, it finally seems like there's hope on the horizon. Eventually, someday soon, the joys of normal life will return. And yet, we have to ask: Why bother? What's the point of ever leaving home again? Getting dinner, grabbing drinks, working out, seeing a movie. All these comforts of...

Mainstream media and Democratic politicians have a narrative to maintain. They do not want you to know that Antifa was present at the Capitol riots and were involved in sparking the storming of the Capitol Building. Even after ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund admitted it to be true, both mainstream media and Democrats are busy calling it a debunked fake news story.In testimony on Capitol Hill today, Sund acknowledged that Antifa was not only there but that police had intel beforehand that Antifa was coming. His statement sent to Congress said, “The assessment indicated that members of the Proud Boys,...

It’s not surprising that a man called Saint Bernard once said, “Love me, love my dog” in a sermon. After all, dogs have long been the world’s most popular pet. But now, the meanies at conservative media giant Newsmax have refused to throw man’s best friend a bone, attacking President Joe Biden’s dog, Champ, in a Friday segment. Host Greg Kelly felt the need to lift his leg and woof on the dog’s appearance, saying that Champ “looks a little rough,” and “needs a bath, a comb, and some loving care,” adding that he looks like he’s “from the junkyard.”...

Coverage of presidential inauguration week underperformed already-low expectations, with the usual measured accolades and sober analysis for the incoming president mostly sidelined for fawning praise and outright activism. The overall theme centered on the premise that President Biden is in essence the second coming of George Washington, who, according to popular lore, vowed never to tell a lie. Anchors and pundits returned to this theme again and again with Biden, who famously dropped out of his first presidential run due to a plagiarism scandal. Biden also claimed multiple times – including once during last year’s presidential campaign – to have...

The "fourth estate" refers to freedom of the press. The term may have first been used by the philosopher-statesman Edmund Burke, who in 1787 highlighted the press as free and apart from the other three British "estates" -- clergy, royalty and commoners.The modern meaning, however, refers to the press as a fourth and free power -- as even a "watchdog" -- over the executive, legislative and judicial branches of our government. Today, however, it is the watchdog that needs watching.The foundation on which the United States is built, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, is enshrined in the...

MSNBC published an attack on the First Lady for daring to celebrate Christmas amidst the coronavirus pandemic in an op-ed titled “Why is Melania Trump doing ‘Christmas stuff’ with COVID surging?” “What I want to know is: Who bullied Melania into doing all this Christmas stuff?” Hayes Brown wrote in the MSNBC op-ed. Brown went on to claim that Melania does not like Christmas, citing a piece of audio recorded secretly without the first lady’s consent by her former friend and advisor, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

One of the biggest stories in this election is how President Trump, whom leftists and their media allies have constantly called a “racist,” made great inroads with minorities. The left is clearly shocked. Rather than humbly spending some time on self-reflection, however, they are doubling down on identity politics by blaming minority Trump voters. Since Election Day, leftists have been attacking minority Trump voters from two angles. First, they claim minorities who voted for Trump are “white” voters who shouldn’t be classified as minorities. This nonsense is nothing new. Prior to the election, Joe Biden famously said black voters who...

VIDEO As every scholar of American history knows, according to the U.S. Constitution, when the media declares a winner in a presidential election contest, then its final. Except even though the media fell all over themselves today to declare Joe Biden the winner, to take attention away from Rudy Giuliani's Philadelphia press conference on vote fraud in Pennsylvania, the contest is far, far from over.
