In the wake of another horrible mass-shooting, once again I woke up to CNN’s failing “New Day” humping the leg of gun control like ghoulish dogs. In more responsible and even compassionate ways, the story also led on Fox News, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, and all the major online news outlets.

For nearly six weeks, CNN has used every opportunity to rake Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump over the coals for comments he made while characterizing the people Mexico encourages to sneak into America. Proving again just what a terribly-run, and

Over the past few months, Breitbart News has studiously documented “New Day” anchor Chris Cuomo’s glaring left-wing biases and outright buffoonery, and now it appears as though this behavior is catching up to “New Day” in the ratings. Tuesday, July

Here’s one Democratic scandal you don’t know and the most surprising thing is that the New York Times broke the story. Either there was a lot of arm-twisting or it’s really juice. My vote is on the latter.

Politifact is at it again. The so-called fact-checking authority has given Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) a “false” rating for his claim that President Barack Obama promised to “dismantle Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for dismantling the sanctions” at the outset of negotiations.

The Examiner goes on to note all of the times Will praised Walker as a “pure Reaganite” and the GOP’s “most potent” candidate. He’s certainly not wrong: Walker resonates powerfully with the base and stormed a July 20 Iowa poll.
