Friday afternoon National Review reported on a series of text messages between Jay Jones, the Democrats current nominee for Virginia attorney general, and his former state legislative colleague, Republican Carrie Coyner. In the text messages, sent just three years ago, Jones expressed a desire to see Todd Gilbert, at the time the Republican House Speaker in […]
For more than a year, suggesting that the COVID-19 virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, might have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology was a crazy, right-wing conspiracy theory that was the equivalent of believing the moon landings were faked. Let's start with this: You shouldn't trust anything the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) says. […]
It's been a horrible few months for the American media, and there's no sign of it improving. I reviewed Tim Groseclose's essential tome, "Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind," shortly after it was released nearly 10 years ago, and the media's slanting of stories has only gotten worse.

First, the conservative news sources I reference on a regular basis. The Wall Street Journal editorial […]
President Joe Biden has held the office for less than a week, and it's becoming quickly apparent that we may be seeing a return to the fawning media coverage of the Obama administration, when both print and digital media saw their jobs to help the nation's first black president succeed. Now it is a duty […]
