A federal court in Kentucky handed the Washington Post a major win this week, dismissing Nicholas Sandmann’s $250 million lawsuit against the paper. Citing freedom of the press, Judge William Bertlesman said that while one could certainly take issue with some of the individuals quoted in the paper in the first stories about Sandmann and the incident at the Lincoln ...

ABC’s “The View” is regularly home to some of the stupidest political talk on television, and of the hosts, Joy Behar is usually the one spewing the most ridiculous nonsense. This week was no exception as the gals talked about the Mueller hearings. While legal analyst Dan Abrams was there to lend some semblance of gravity to the discussion, Behar ...

It’s hard to say whether or not Politifact ever had any genuine interest in acting as a good-faith fact-checker for U.S. politics, but even if they started out with good intentions, they proved this week that they are just another lame arm for the Resistance. While still operating under a claim of nonpartisanship, they tackled a claim that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) will condemn white supremacy in a heartbeat, even when none is in evidence. She’ll go out of her way to condemn U.S. foreign policy in Venezuela. She’ll blast Israel without a second thought, and she won’t shut up when it comes to the migrant detention facilities at the U.S. border. But when it comes to casting ...

At any point, do Democrats like Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) ever look in the mirror and call themselves on their own ignorance? Or are they so blissfully ignorant that they don’t even realize how dumb they sound? We suppose that has to be the case. Either that, or they are so high off the adoration of equally-ignorant young leftists that ...

In a fairly embarrassing set of remarks, two House chairmen said this weekend that President Trump is an “unindicted co-conspirator” and that he is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. These chairman – Reps. Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff – have avoided calling for Trump’s impeachment, making their high-minded rhetoric sound that much more hollow. Then again, Schiff and Nadler ...

Last week, we learned that the Republican fundraising machine – the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee – was absolutely destroying the Democrats in terms of raising money for the 2020 election. While the Democratic National Committee brought in $22.9 million over the last three months, the RNC brought in a whopped $51 million. Combine that with Trump’s campaign ...

Yesterday, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) filed a bill that would, if passed, eliminate the term “illegal alien” from the U.S. legal code. But as undoubtedly heroic as such an effort is, it is probably doomed to fail in the larger Congress. The left will have to wait at least a few more years before their desperate desire to change the ...

Sanity lived to see another day in the House of Representatives on Wednesday when most Democrats, despite the rhetoric coming from their party, voted against bringing articles of impeachment against President Trump. Apparently the minor fact that Trump has actually not committed any high crimes or misdemeanors actually still means something on Capitol Hill, even if you wouldn’t know it ...

Only a few days ago, conservative columnists were doing lots of hand-wringing about President Trump’s infamous “racist” tweets against the House “Squad.” No, no, they didn’t think that Trump meant anything racist by his remarks, but why would he unify the Democrats at such a time? Why wouldn’t he just take a chill pill, sit back, and let Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ...
