I received an email Tuesday afternoon from Politifact reporter Molly Moorhead. I’m not going to share it with you. What I am going to do is write some things that aforementioned letter inspired. Yes, I’d make an excellent editor. I’m not your editor. My goal isn’t to make your reporting better—it’s to hold you accountable […]
In 2009, Judicial Watch made a big splash when they revealed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been using military aircraft to travel to and from her home district in California to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars. The spendthrift nature of the Democrat-controlled Congress was a key election issue in 2010 and Speaker […]
It wasn't just Politifraud's "fact"-check of that Crossroads GPS ad that drew my ire this week as I looked at their latest analyses. It was also this whopper that purported to show that the same president who's presided over the addition of $5 trillion to the national debt in less than five years—and would've spent […]

The grade from Politifact: “In the works.” Here’s their research: His spokesman, Michael Steel, told The Hill […]
Sunday morning White House chief of staff Jack Lew appeared on all 5 Sunday morning newscasts—ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN—and on two of them he made similar false claims. CNN’s State of the Union: Liar, liar CROWLEY: And I know -- I want to talk about the tax hike in a second, but I want […]
President Obama and his administration haven’t been particularly understanding of religious beliefs—especially if they are in any way Christian and depart from any tenet of modern-day liberalism. The first evidence of this was the case of Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The case involved a private school teacher whom […]
Three separate fact checking organizations took a look at Slow Joe Biden’s demagogic statement I mentioned the other day about violent crime rates and Flint, Mich. According to The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler, Biden’s claims are “absurd” and earns him 4 pinnochios – the most dishonest rating possible. FactCheck.org referred to Biden’s remarks as a […]
Too much of the mainstream media continues its feeble attempts to prop up President Obama’s class-warfare rhetoric with its ostensible “fact-checking.” Politifraud, which has too often been at the forefront of this effort, weighs in with this beauty, rating Obama’s claim that: "A construction worker who’s making $50 or $60 grand a year shouldn’t be […]
