A tale of two surveys, one by Pew and one by Gallup, one on media bias and one on media trust. Journalists in the United States differ markedly from the general public in their views of “bothsidesism” – whether journalists should always strive to give equal coverage to all sides of an issue – according to a recent…

The premise of the gun control movement is that private ownership of guns can only be used for evil and that the only way to stop violence is to ban people from owning guns. Never mind the fact that this Bloombergian nonsense doesn’t work and has never actually worked. Criminals will always get their hands…

The New York Post has been running this series on the anti-American critical race theory tilt of the homes of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Visitors to Montpelier get to see just three rooms in the sprawling mansion. The estate “made Madison the philosopher, farmer, statesman, and enslaver that he was,” the guide said as…

It’s San Francisco. And the purge of ousted DA Chesa Boudin’s pro-crime machine is being handled by Mayor London Breed and her allies. The question is why aren’t Republicans doing this kind of thing? I won’t even waste time rehashing all the ‘left-behinds’ during the Trump administration who not only stayed on the job, but were rewarded with…

The media treats opposition to illegal migration as simple racism. One of the basic experiential points that are ignored is the sheer havoc inflicted on local communities. Now the Imperial City is getting a taste of it thanks to Texas and then Arizona busing Biden’s illegal migrants over to Washington D.C. As Arizona’s Governor Ducey…

He’s self-interested, and the enemy, but he’s not wrong. The prince said Saudi Arabia had announced raising its production capacity to 13 million barrels per day by 2027 from a nameplate capacity of 12 million now and “after that the Kingdom will not have any more capability to increase production”. He was addressing a U.S.-Arab…

The Squad is a horrible, pathetic and violently racist and deranged mess. Here’s the latest from Rep. Cori Bush’s campaign. Rep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.) spent years cultivating a relationship with a pro-Palestinian activist who once tweeted that she wants to “set Israel on fire with my own hands & watch it burn to ashes…

In the permanent state of insanity we now live in, it’s good to occasionally touch base with reality. That’s what we’ve tried to do in this Mavericks and Outliers conversation with Betsie Saltzberg.

This happens all too rarely and it’s a shame because it allows leftists and the media to turn their latest monster into a martyr with soft-focused photos and sketches. Arabella Yarbrough says she thought she and her 2 kids were going to die Wed. night, after she says Tekle Sundberg fired these shots through her…

The Ministry of Information is hard at work. The adoption of the term “disinformation” has inevitably meant the media targeting anyone to the Left of its politics with an eye to achieving targeted political outcomes. That’s bad enough especially when pipelined to Big Tech for censorship, but government involvement in “disinformation” is simply state censorship.…

Mask fever is sweeping the nation again. Los Angeles has two weeks before the possible resumption of a mask mandate. Never mind that the bay area showed last month that, once again, they don’t work. In early June, during an uptick in COVID-19 cases, Alameda County was the only Bay Area county to bring back an indoor mask mandate.…

Megan McArdle, the lone sane non-grifter at the Washington Post, joining the effort to save the Democrats from going completely insane while commenting on that ridiculous Senate farce. In even tones, Bridges replied that while many cisgender women have the capacity for pregnancy, many don’t, while some trans men and nonbinary people do. But after…
