Republicans have come out swinging against the Biden administration’s newly announced Disinformation Governance Board.

In recent days, China has amped up its rhetorical support for Russia in a direct slight to the U.S. and other nations who had hoped that Beijing would opt to condemn Moscow for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen said she was “cautiously optimistic” about Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter.

Fox News reported that she said that Mark Zuckerberg has too many people around him who “tell him
We have about two months before the Supreme Court rules on Dobbs v. Jackson, and it’s hard to say just how the 6-3 conservative majority will rule on this case. Conservatives have been disappointed by the court enough times not to assume that the court will come to a decision they like. Word is that
Metaverse users could soon have the ability to receive sensations on their faces while making out with their peers in the digital space.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi better hope than Elon Musk is as committed to free speech as he says he is because in the first hour of his Saturday show, Velshi repeated an anti-Semitic trope about Israel before lamenting Musk’s idea of free speech in the second hour. Velshi was going through some of the recent history of
On Saturday night, a Washington tradition returns. After a two-year hiatus, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner returns much to the delight of official Washington. Joe Biden will be there, as will every reporter, editor, publisher, and celebrity of note. Donald Trump skipped the event for his term in office, refusing to give some left-wing, unfunny
Politico White House reporter Max Tani debased himself and his colleagues Friday morning to a humiliating degree with a 2,900-word tome about how covering President Biden and his administration has, for the press corps, become “a bore” and “journalistic sedative” that “lack[s] flair” seeing as how they’re no longer fighting to save America from Donald
How exquisitely sensitive can PolitiFact be?

Another day, another hostile New York Times story about the star Republican governor of Florida (and potential 2024 presidential candidate) Ron DeSantis: “Rapidly Flexing Power, DeSantis Turns Florida Into a Lab for the Right,” Miami bureau chief Patricia Mazzei portrayed Florida as a hot-headed state throwing a conservative temper tantrum led by a attention-seeking, Trump-adjacent governor.
Perhaps one has to be of a certain age to appreciate the signals coming from Russia out of Ukraine. This war is very different from any other war fought by Russia in the last 20 years and, as such, makes conventional wisdom about Russian President Vladimir Putin obsolete. The reason why that is significant is
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) bellyached about billionaires in several Twitter posts on Friday, but went silent after Elon Musk used the Democratic congresswoman’s own words against her. AOC wrote on Twitter, “Billionaires be like ‘the extreme far left is taking over’ when the ‘extreme far left’ in the US is ‘medicine shouldn’t bankrupt you,’ ‘wages

Odds are your parents or grandparents dealt with, or fought, tyranny in the 1940s. But what have we really learned? In March of 2020, I was driving from Michigan to Long Island with my good friend and fellow comedian Terry McNeely. The nation was shutting down over a virus that over 99% of us would
A 53-year-old driver suffered a fractured eye socket after being repeatedly punched in the face after a car accident in the Bronx late last month.

A Florida judge handed down a bizarre punishment last week to 20-year-old man who admitted to vandalizing an LGBT mural. What is the background? Last June, Alexander Jerich was slapped with a felony charge last summer after he defaced an LGBT mural — rainbow colors painted inside a Delray Beach intersection — by doing a
Planned Parenthood just canceled abortions in Alabama and Georgia and baby killers are NOT happy. The pro-abortion site Jezebel, which unironically means “morally unrestrained,” reported the news in a sorrowful lament — sorrowful for abortionists, at least. Planned Parenthood “canceled people’s appointments without warning” because of “staffing issues.” Planned Parenthood currently has three abortion facilities in
The real cost of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan continues to be learned at the Department of Defense, as the Pentagon continues to release reports.

Transgender biology teacher Sam Long provided the inside scoop
Everyone knows that our “objective” news media treat any journalism on the subject of Hunter Biden as automatically “disinformation.” It still sounds like an impeachable offense. The entire topic seemed forbidden, except when he was making the rounds touting his addiction memoir. Publishers Weekly celebrated it as a “courageous self-assessment.” Hunter’s business affairs have been
ESPN employee Sage Steele is suing her network for a series of potential free-speech offenses that trace back to last year.
