NBC hires McDaniel NBC hired former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel with great fanfare. After all, it thought doing so would present viewers with the “fair and balanced” news analysis Fox News once promised but never delivered. Then all hell broke loose. NBC fires McDaniel The network had only just announced four days earlier that they were… Read more.
Evangelicals forsaking Christianity for Trumpism Evangelical Christians made clear way back in 2015 that they were willing to sacrifice their faith, even abandon all common sense, to support Donald Trump. More to the point, this diabolical shyster realized right away that the more he insults their intelligence and defiles their religion, the more they support him. They keep proving… Read more.
Trump begs MAGA supporters to save his gilded tower Donald Trump shamelessly milks his MAGA supporters for money to cover his bills. His fundraising tactics range from hawking gilded sneakers to sending desperate SOS emails. The subject line — ‘Keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower’ — was repeated at the start of the email in bold, italics and… Read more.
The Gaetz playbook: vacate the Speaker Matt Gaetz ran for Congress to become a household name. But he soon discovered that authoring legislation or performing oversight was not getting him the media attention he coveted. So, he decided that leading a band of congressional mutineers to vacate Speaker Kevin McCarthy might do the trick. It worked. That mutiny made Gaetz the… Read more.

Spoiler alert: CNN couldn’t have been more wrong. I’ve watched several episodes of his show, King Charles. Suffice it to know that it came across as the most cringeworthy attempt by a sports star to host… Read more.

Her faux outrage—over a child trafficking story that was riddled with lies—was bad enough. But her melodramatic, overblown delivery was more akin to a teaser for an upcoming SNL skit. True to form, SNL obliged with its usual… Read more.
Minority business programs must benefit Whites Yesterday, a federal judge ordered the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) to serve (majority) White businesses too. Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell had such orders in mind when he conspired with former President Donald Trump to pack the federal judiciary. They recruited young White men. The primary qualification? Their blind faith in MAGA propaganda and conspiracies. Indeed,… Read more.
Trump is unapologetically racist The more Donald Trump humiliates White men like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, the more loyalty they show him. This political phenomenon is as vexing as it is perplexing. Yet, polls show that the more Trump hurls racist insults, the more appealing Blacks find him. Forget vexing and perplexing. That reeks of Orwellian doublespeak. After all, Trump is arguably… Read more.
