Covering Trump vs. Biden Yesterday, President Biden delivered a speech in Pennsylvania contrasting his Scranton policies to help the poor and middle class with Trump’s Mar-a-Lago policies to enrich the rich and super-rich. But this might come as news to you. That’s because cable news networks were too busy covering Trump’s criminal trial in New York City. New York DA Alvin… Read more.
The Rock: wannabe president afraid of politics Yesterday, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson expressed regret that he endorsed Biden in 2020 and pledged not to do so again.

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.
Britt’s opening act about sex trafficking Republican Sen. Katie Britt gained infamy on Thursday with her State of the Union rebuttal. 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.
