Scott Pelley, Dishonest Hack

CBS News has fired Scott Pelley. The new regime at CBS News is praising Pelley, probably disingenuously: [New CBS News head Bari] Weiss nevertheless praised Pelley’s body of work and highlighted several of his recent reports for “60 Minutes.” “That unfortunate outcome does not discount from the amazing contributions and work that Scott Pelley has done for CBS and for ‘60 Minutes’ over the course of his career,” Weiss said. *** CBS News president Tom Cibrowski echoed Weiss’s remarks, calling Pelley “an integral part of ‘60 Minutes,’ the ‘CBS Evening News’ and this entire news organization for decades.” “His incredible body of work … will always be part of the history of CBS News,”

He's a propagandist. No connection to news.

Praised exactly for what Pelley spewed, Weiss? Or, Weiss, is there a back story that hasn't surfaced yet?

Thank you Mr. Hinderaker for pointing this out. There are too few that are willing to stand up and say this. It is unfortunate that Weiss felt the need to heap praise on the guy.

Jessica Tarlov Defends Nazi Perv Graham

The Democrat Party's civil war over Graham Platner is getting messier by the day, and leave it to Jessica Tarlov to pick the wrong side. While prominent Democrats are tripping over each other to distance themselves from Platner, the Fox News contributor spent a chunk of Monday's America's Newsroom doing the exact opposite. She went on the defensive, and it was not pretty. I mean, come on, even Sen. Cory Booker is admitting that he “has concerns” about Platner. “That guy has questions to answer,” he said. “And that’s what campaigns are for.” Tarlov, however, went into a full-throttle defense, complete with deflection and whataboutism. “There are Democrats who have concerns,
The Tragedy of Rising Oil Prices 6 replies

Democrats have shed oceans of crocodile tears over the plight of the average American, struggling to afford gasoline in the wake of “Trump’s war” against Iran. Never mentioned, of course, is the fact that for more than 20 years, Democrats have been doing all they can to raise, not lower, the price of oil. As with so many issues, Democrats rely on the rest of us suffering from memory loss. So here is a quick refresher: the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil from 1946 through May 2026. The last price recorded on the chart ($97.63, at the moment it is $87.36) is lower than peak prices
Jill Biden’s Memoir Is Going to Tear

The Bidens want to restore Joe Biden’s legacy after his disastrous presidency and his Hindenburg-style campaign collapse, and phase one is Jill Biden’s forthcoming memoir. The next step will be Joe Biden’s inevitable presidential memoir, which is sure to have quite a few doozies in it, but for now, we have Jill’s, and if she thought her book would “set the record straight” and the Democrat Party would be thrilled, well, that’s not what’s happening at all. Instead, it's setting the Democrat Party on fire — and the people most enraged are the ones who spent years covering for Joe Biden. According to Axios, several former Biden aides, including

Chess champ Magnus Carlsen, 32, lost to 19-year-old Hans Niemann at the 2022 Sinquefield Cup, sparking Carlsen’s cheating claims. Niemann, who admitted to prior online cheating, faced a wild “anal beads” theory for his win that went viral. Niemann’s $100 million defamation lawsuit against Carlsen and Chess.com was dismissed, leading to a confidential settlement. In September of 2022, Magnus Carlsen had won 53 consecutive classical chess matches.Then, he sat down across from Hans Niemann. Carlsen, then 32 and a five-time World Championship, was widely considered the greatest player in the millennium-and-a-half history of the sport. The Norwegian had an Elo rating — a system that calculates a player’s relative skill level —

We often hear and read about men brutalizing women, and it is a national disgrace that so many women live their lives in terror. I’ve written many times about the battering situations I came across as a police officer in NYC. But there’s another type of battering I’ve witnessed, albeit not nearly as often: women brutalizing men. While working a tour in Brooklyn one night, my partner and I were summoned to an apartment to handle an assault in progress. When we arrived and climbed a few flights of stairs, we heard moaning sounds coming from behind an open door of one of the rooms. Other occupants

Antisemitism in the Medical World 5 replies

Historically, antisemitism was endemic in American medicine in the early to mid-20th century, with quotas on Jewish students and residency trainees until the 1960s. But in 2023, antisemitic incidents dramatically increased, with a 140% increase from 2022 and the highest since data collection began in 1979. A short sampling of antisemitic acts include: Antisemitic slogans at the UCLA Geffen School of Medicine, Antisemitic graffiti at the UCSF Cancer Center, Jewish medical students’ exposure to demonization of Israel diatribes and rationalizing terrorism; Faculty, including a professor of medicine at UCSF, posting antisemitic tropes and derogatory comments about Jewish health-care professionals.

We’ve seen plenty of “transanity” over the last few years, with transgender extremists demanding we call males "women," mothers “birthing people,” and individuals “they.” My general philosophy has always been, “you be you, and I’ll be me,” and that’s all well and good — but there are two places where that concept is overruled and where I believe we as a society need to draw a red line. One: When it comes to this advocating that we mutilate minors suffering from gender dysphoria to “become” their chosen “gender identity,” just say no; and two, when it comes to allowing biological males to compete against females, often taking their trophies

There was plenty of news this week, but meme creators were mostly focused on lesser stories, like Jill Biden’s recollection of her husband’s disastrous debate performance, which came as a surprise to everyone who hadn’t been paying attention for the previous four years. Good times! But what inspired memesters more than anything else was the candidacy of James Talarico, Democratic candidate for the Senate in Texas. Can a non-binary vegan be elected to the Senate from Texas? One certainly hopes not.

The driver of a bus involved in a deadly Virginia crash that killed five people doesn't speak English, authorities said, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy who called it "unacceptable." Five people were killed and dozens were injured when the driver of an E&P Travel bus heading from New York to North Carolina failed to slow down near a work zone and slammed into several cars on Interstate 95 in Stafford County, the Virginia State Police said. The crash happened around 2:35 a.m. Friday. A 13-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy, who were in the car ahead of the one the bus hit, died along with a 45-year-old man

According to court records, I have two children. Because I’m so gosh-darn manly, both my children are boys. (‘Cause that’s how genetics works.) Therefore, I’ve never had to give my kids “the talk” — but I have plenty of friends and relatives with adolescent girls, so I know how “the talk” goes: “Honey, sit down. It’s time you learned the truth. You have to be careful out there, because boys your age are only after… one thing. It’s all they care about!” Yeah: That one thing is raising children.

Far-Left ‘Guardian’ Mocks Obama Library

Even the left-wing Guardian is laughing out loud at Barry Obama’s ugly-a** monument to himself. “‘Like a Klingon prison’: inside Barack Obama’s audacious, near-windowless, $850m presidential library,” reads the headline, and the mockery doesn’t stop there. We’re about two weeks away from this Chicago-based monstrosity opening to the public, and the Guardian, which I’m sure the Obama folks expected to be friendly, was not terribly impressed. Here are some highlights from their coverage: “He might have seemed humble in office, but in his post-presidential, Netflix-producing afterlife, Obama has erected the largest, costliest and most audacious complex of them all,” the report explains. “Behold the $850m Obamalisk – or,

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is facing fresh allegations of having exaggerated his military experience, after a yearlong Spotlight on Maryland investigation yielded “no documentary evidence” to support his claim of having “led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan.” (Snip) In a May 2022 post on X, Moore wrote, “When I was an Army captain and led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan, we lived by a simple principle: Leave no one behind.” (Snip) According to the Sun, “Military records reviewed by Spotlight show no evidence that Moore, a lieutenant assigned as a brigade headquarters staff officer, experienced firefights in Afghanistan as his public narrative conveys.”

The House approved a war powers resolution Wednesday that would halt the US military action against Iran, defying President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long war that has reordered politics at home and abroad. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had tried to prevent an outcome that would show the mounting opposition to the war, abruptly shutting down floor action two weeks ago when the war powers resolution was on the verge of approval. But displeasure has only grown as the conflict drags on and as Trump struggles to negotiate a quick resolution. The roll call Wednesday was 215-208,

The Democratic nominee to represent New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District in the House of Representatives, Rebecca Bennett, said she "stopped going to church" because she could not sit in a room "full of people who voted for Trump," audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows. At a campaign event in February, a woman asked Bennett, "I loved hearing you say that you're a patriot, but what are you going to do about that being a right-coded way of presenting yourself?" Bennett responded with a story about how she stopped attending church services because she could not bear to be around people who voted for President Donald Trump.

The United Nations is going broke? Please, say it is so.

It’s “expected to officially run out of money in mid-August.” The best part is “the United States is a big reason why.” “The United States owes roughly $2 billion to the organization’s regular budget on top of another $2.2 billion for peacekeeping

Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill’s debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady who she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off. Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book “A View from the East Wing” with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage. Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up —

Murphy, the Deputy Democratic Conference Secretary who is said to be on the shortlist to one day replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in leading Senate Democrats, recently insulted millions of Americans by suggesting to Fox News that they are total rubes and “actually don’t know much,” living as zombies. “There are lots of Trump voters who don’t know much about the facts,”
Dems replace ‘mother’ with ‘gestating

Mom’s not the word. New York state Democrats passed a bill to erase words like “mother” and “father” from Family Court Law — in the latest gender-neutral rewriting in the state’s official records. “Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” and “paternity” proceedings would become “parentage” proceedings under the woke bill that was rammed through both houses of the state legislature this week. A “putative father” in paternity proceedings would now be defined as “an alleged parent” under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and goes to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.

Two hundred and ten years ago this summer, a 19-year-old woman named Mary Shelley, bored one stormy afternoon, decided to write the scariest story ever told. It was a tale of a brilliant and arrogant man who wanted to change the world but ended up creating a monster. She named him Barack Obama. All right, she named him Dr. Frankenstein. But had the great author been around to witness Adam Hamawy win the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, she would’ve understood right away that she was looking at a familiar tale of hubris, malice and ghouls on the loose.

In California, the term “Election Day” is really a misnomer — it’s election month, at least. Ballots were sent out for Tuesday’s primary on May 4 to every eligible voter, which amounts to over 23 million people. Folks have been voting ever since. So Tuesday marks the end of a seemingly never-ending period that ends this evening; it’s hardly election day. Well, perhaps we’ll know the winners and the losers by the end of the evening, you might argue, so we can still call it "election night." Oh no, no, no, this is the Left Coast, and things get strange out here. It can take weeks

Harley-Davidson hired a CEO and a Chief Brand Officer that have pushed “woke” initiatives in the past despite the motorcycle company’s vow to backtrack away from such policies. The companies that Artie Starrs, now Harley-Davidson’s CEO, and Marcus Fischer, now Harley-Davidson’s chief brand officer, previously helped lead strongly promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies during their respective tenures, according to conservative activist Robby Starbuck. Harley-Davidson hired both Starrs and Fischer in 2025, a year after the company said it would change such policies following significant backlash. In 2025, former CEO of Harley-Davidson, Jochen Zeitz, retired after he was accused of pushing a leftist political agenda and overseeing over a decline
