VIDEOThere are a lot of ignorant blowhards in the mainstream media. However, for the early morning hours it is hard to top Joe Scarborough in the ignorant blowhard department. In the latest idiocy from Morning Joe, Scarborough piously proclaimed that "I've never really heard people discuss macroeconomics in terms of bloodbaths." Really Joe? Because as you can see in this video, "bloodbath" is a word quite frequently used in discussing macroeconomics.

Say what you might about Donald Trump, but one thing he is not is a Puritan. This is the man whose romantic escapades filled the pages of New York tabloids for decades. For gosh sakes, Trump's the former owner of the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants, where contestants paraded in swimsuits! So Symone Sanders-Townsend's attempt to scare voters by claiming that if Trump is elected, America will be turned into a dystopian world in which women are forced to wear long, loose dresses, and cover their hair with hoods, was ludicrous: "If people are not paying attention, and we...

VIDEOTrump was Right, the Deep State is Real. With all the allegations about a group of unelected men making decisions that impact the rest of the country, we wanted to dig into the documents and talk to experts to find the truth. Is there a Deep State? And if so, how deep does it go?

They try. Oh how they try.It seems that whenever CNN has NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on as a guest, the conversation eventually steers toward getting him to criticize Trump. They attempted this pathetic shtick in January when Poppy Harlow tried to elicit a slam against Trump from Stoltenberg but got only praise for Trump from the Secretary General. You would think CNN would have learned from this but noooo. They repeated themselves on Monday during News Central. Host Kate Bolduan kicked off the interview by asking Stoltenberg about Sweden becoming the latest member of NATO and then the conversation...

Andrew Moseman goes into some detail in Friday's Atlantic magazine as to why electric vehicle sales have slowed down recently to the extent that he is now calling 2024 a lost year for EVs as reflected in the title, "America’s Lost Year for Electric Cars."Despite Moseman providing us with a myriad of obvious reasons why consumers appear to be rejecting EVs, he falls back on the easy all-purpose explanation for liberals to blame for whatever the woes: Trump's fault!

Katie Britt, a first-term Republican senator from Alabama, has been selected by party leadership to deliver the GOP response to President Biden's State of the Union address Thursday. "Americans are struggling amid a border catastrophe, crushing inflation, an increasingly dangerous world, and fears about a President not up to the task. Against this backdrop, Senator Katie Britt will share her incredible story as the first woman elected to the United States Senate from the state of Alabama," said Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., in a statement. "As the only current Republican mom of school-aged kids serving in the Senate, Katie is...

A Donald Trump Super Tuesday victory parade meant that it was time to for CNN's Van Jones to go full apocalypse. On Wednesday, in the aftermath of Nikki Haley's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential primary race, anchor Jim Acosta asked Jones how Joe Biden could earn the votes from Haley supporters and donors. That provided the opportunity for Jones to conjure up images of "Russian tanks rolling through Europe" if Trump returns to the White House.

VIDEOIt was supposed to be the night of smug leftist glory. Donald Trump would have been in court on March 4 facing J6 charges and the following day, Super Tuesday, was supposed to be the great day of his humiliating defeat. Yes, it was all carefully planned out. What could go wrong? Well, reality for starters went wrong. The J6 trial that was supposed to affect Super Tuesday did NOT happen on March 4. In fact it now appears to be delayed to past the November election unto infinity. In addition, the Fulton County case now looks likely to be...

While we focus on Joe Biden's undeniable cognitive decline, perhaps more attention should be directed to related problems that Nicolle Wallace might be experiencing. The issue arises because on her Deadline White House show on MSNBC on Tuesday, Wallace seemed to confuse the electoral situation in the US with that in Gaza and the West Bank. Said Wallace: "Americans will have to face the fact that this is, in the words of a dear friend of this show, do-you-want-to-have-any-more-elections, election.here voters are not just choosing between two candidates, but making critical decisions about the basic fundamentals of our democracy." In...

We have way too many McClellans “If you think you’re going to vote your way out of this you’re wrong.” “They’ll just steal it again.” Folks, I’m about to blow a gasket with these types. Many of these people think they are—-or portray themselves as—-MAGA or “conservatives.” There is nothing whatsoever conservative or MAGA about this worldview. Quite the contrary, if I was a DemoKKKrat I would energetically promote this kind of thinking to suppress MAGA and conservative turnout. It is simply a wrong worldview in several ways. First, it is counter-Biblical. The Bible instructs both Jews and Christians to...

Arizona Republican Kari Lake has a three-point lead over Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego in this year’s U.S. Senate race, and Lake’s margin would be slightly wider if incumbent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema decides to seek reelection as an independent . . . In the presidential race, 47% would vote for Trump, while 40% would vote for President Joe Biden.

Someone should inform Politico's national security reporter Erin Banco and her colleague John Sakellariadis that the politicized intelligence community train had long ago left the station when it was fully weaponized against former President Donald Trump, almost from the moment (and even before) he took office in 2017. However, now that the prospect of Trump returning to the White House was a possibility, the intelligence agencies were suddenly clutching their pearls in deep concern over the politicization of their already politicized community.Banco and Sakellariadis went into a state of deep, deep concern on Monday over the future of the deep...

VIDEOMSNBC went into a state of deep deep mourning when the news broke that the Supreme Court will take up President Trump's immunity appeal thus delaying the trial for more months to come and likely past the November election. Of special note is former judge Michael Luttig whose crackpot Lawfare idea that states can use the 14th Amendment to remove Trump from the ballot is currently being laughed out of the Supreme Court. With his crackpot idea being laughed away, Luttig was profoundly saddened by the news that the J6 trial will probably be delayed past the election. His face...

It is difficult to read former Newsweek reporter David Graham's "Trump the Survivor" which was published in The Atlantic magazine on Sunday without conjuring up images of Wile E. Coyote in perpetual pursuit of the Road Runner, who always manages to evade doom. In fact, the subtitle of Graham's story just reinforces the image of Trump as the Road Runner: "He always manages to find a way."You can almost feel Graham's Coyote level of frustration as his Road Runner Trump "always manages to find a way" over and over and over again to escape carefully planned doom. BEEP! BEEP!

VIDEOLiberals love espousing diversity. However, for diversity that really counts, namely diversity of opinion, the mainstream media has shut that down. An example is the CNN panel discussing the primary victory of President Donald Trump in South Carolina. NOT ONE had a friendly word for Trump. Instead that panel, including "conservatives," presented a sold wall of TDS hate as you can see from some of the excerpts presented here. Any real conservatives who did support Trump on CNN, such as Jeffrey Lord, were removed by that network years ago.

Let us give Conor Friedersdorf credit for the most creative, as well as bizarre, reason for keeping Donald Trump from winning the presidency again this year. Friedersdorf says it is not about his past record or policies. No, according to him, the reason that Trump must be defeated in 2024 is because he drives people crazy with Trump Derangement Syndrome.Friedersdorf makes this assertion in Thursday's Atlantic magazine that Trump must be kept from returning to the White House because he makes some people very, very uncomfortable in "The Strongest Case Against Donald Trump."First, Friedersdorf defines Trump Derangement Syndrome and even...

On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski urged Nikki Haley to "hang in there"—to stay in the race for the Republican presidential nomination till the very end. Mika's reasoning: stay in with the hope of setting up "an American race" with an "American candidate"—instead of "Russian idiot" Trump. We need "a real race for the presidency. An American race."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Macho MSNBC host Joe Scarborough continued to expose his troubling obsession with outward manifestations of masculinity. Macho Joe was back at it Tuesday during Tuesday's Morning Joe, twice referring to the Republican Speaker of the House as "little" Mike Johnson.We've documented his multiple boasts about his own toughness, as when Macho Joe threatened to make a Capitol tourist "eat" his camera if Joe found him snapping pics somewhere Scarborough didn't like. And then there was Scarbrough boasting he'd never let anyone "emasculate" him the way Donald Trump supposedly did to J.D. Vance. Just to name a couple of examples. You'll...
