Dr. Phil quickly figured out how open-border advocates deal with their critics. “You’re a racist” for wanting any semblance of immigration control. This week, Jon Stewart proved Dr. Phil right in the ugliest way possible. The “Daily Show” host brought up the porous U.S. southern border in a 10-minute screed brimming with misinformation, bias of omission and more. For all of Stewart’s comedy skills, he’s also a deeply dishonest pundit. He proved it again Monday night. Along the way, he suggested Dr. Phil was gay for noticing fit, military-aged men were entering the country illegally. The bit opened with a...

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is once again pressuring the Republican National Committee to change their debate format after audience declines across the previous three showdowns. “This January GOP debate should be held on X, not on cable TV, moderated by Tucker [Carlson], who might just ask questions that primary voters actually care about,” Ramaswamy said in a statement to The Post on Friday. “They say they want to reach younger voters and new audiences?

A week ago Hotez actually said, “Science is not something that is typically debated.” What a fraud.
