On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart lunged at Republican bills on social issues: “Quite honestly, it looks hideous. It is horrendous.” PBS anchor Judy Woodruff started with Florida: “Governor Ron DeSantis has been pushing for this — Republican-controlled legislature has now given him a raft of very — of conservative measures

Bill Maher roasted both political parties for manipulating Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to score political points. The “Real Time with Bill Maher” host also noted that it’s “worth asking” why Vladimir Putin decided to invade Ukraine when Joe Biden was in the White House and not when Donald Trump was president. During the New Rules
More than one ton of fentanyl was seized in the state of New York in 2021. This, unsurprisingly, sets a new record for the amount of the synthetic opioid confiscated by law enforcement. According to new data from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), 2,420 pounds of fentanyl in total were seized in New York, with
One Wednesday, the New York Times ran a biased story by official fact-checker Linda Qiu in defense of President Biden and high gas prices: “Invasion and Pandemic, Not Policies, Are Driving Up Gas Prices.” The online headline was more partisan: “Republicans Wrongly Blame Biden for Rising Gas Prices.” It’s a far cry from the paper’s
The White House clearly had its priorities straight regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine as they took the time to brief Tik Tok influencers on Thursday.

A former White House Physician, who served in both the Obama and Trump administrations, said that President Joe Biden is not mentally fit to serve as president and ought to immediately resign.

During a Friday night appearance on “The Rachel Maddow Show,” a former U.S. ambassador to Russia was clobbered online for claiming that in certain aspects, Adolf Hitler wasn’t as evil as Vladimir Putin. The comments were regarded as insensitive and blatantly false. The backlash forced both the ambassador and MSNBC to issue apologies in less
Unreal. Florida has passed a “Parental Rights in Education bill” – and the Disney corporation, which of course has Disney World in Orlando, is livid. The left has, all too predictably, nicknamed the bill the “Don’t Say Gay” legislation. Disney, mind you, is the company that focuses on turning out entertainment for kids. And the
It seems like Bill Maher, the host of Real Time on HBO, is always surprising me lately. Despite his reputation as a hardcore liberal, for some time now, he’s been doing something very few on the left are willing to do: criticize Democrats. And he’s not showing any mercy, either. The left has taken notice of
Ukrainian officials believe that Russia is preparing to launch an attack at Chernobyl. In a lengthy Facebook post, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “stockpiling” the corpses of Ukrainian soldiers to justify a “false flag” attack on the power plant. Business Insider reported that Ukrainian
The White House welcomed popular personalities from the Chinese social media platform TikTok to deliver a briefing on the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the influencers.

The devastating and all-too-real invasion of Ukraine by the Russians has galvanized the world. It also reminded some of a movie favorite of many Americans, one loathed by the media. Its plot? A determined group of young people fight off an invasion by the Russians. Of course, I’m talking about the ‘80s classic Red Dawn. Writing about the 1984
There is little doubt that one of the biggest contributors to the decline of the quality of life in large American cities is the problem of homelessness. But for many years, the radical left refused to acknowledge that homelessness was something that couldn’t be fixed by throwing more and more money at the problem while
Mark Levin described Putin’s ruthless invasion of Ukraine as having revealed his evil ambitions. As the west mobilizes against his atrocities, Putin turns to threatens the use of nuclear weapons against all who come to Ukraine’s aid. Now, Mark and others are asking if “it would be so bad to take Putin out.” So, why
Two adults passed away in Tennessee after they were fatally wounded during an apparent camel attack. The Obion County Sheriff’s Office reported that it got a call Thursday about a camel attacking people, and when deputies arrived they discovered two unconscious individuals, as well as a camel. “On Thursday, March 10, 2022, at approximately 4:44PM,
Disney CEO Bob Chapek is one very sorry Disney employee. The business leader of the House of Mouse didn’t fight hard enough for little kids to receive twisted LGBTQ propaganda in Florida public schools and is now facing the wrath of the woke mob. Sucks to be that guy. But it’s hard for us to
A new Wall Street Journal poll is out and it shows no improvement for the electoral prospects of Democrats going into the midterm elections in November.

A judge in Texas temporarily blocked an order from Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to investigate parents obtaining “sex-change” procedures for their transgender children as incidents of child abuse.

According to a report in the New York Post, CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell has a major attitude problem.

When Donald Trump’s Truth Social launched last month, it was nothing short of a mess, and naturally, the mainstream media has been mocking the new social media platform ever since. “Former President Trump’s platform Truth Social has made little impact on the social media market roughly two weeks after launching on the Apple app store,
Ukraine is saying that Russia has abuducted Ivan Fedorov, the mayor of Melitopol. “They have transitioned into a new stage of terror, in which they try to physically liquidate representatives of Ukraine’s lawful local authorities,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared in a video address Friday, according to the Associated Press.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.) is calling on President Joe Biden to raise the refugee admissions cap for this fiscal year in light of the humanitarian crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine has created an escalating humanitarian crisis. The United States must respond by opening its
On Friday, NBC’s Today show went all in pushing false White House spin that months of record-high inflation and soaring gas prices were somehow exclusively caused by the two-week-old war in Ukraine rather than bad economic policy from the Biden administration. The coverage even parroted the President’s dishonest talking points word for word by repeating
On last week’s brave Return of Florida Man Friday, I reminded FMF fans old and new that a classic Florida Man story involves at least two of the following elements: I left one off last week: A weapon of some kind, preferably unusual. A pistol is fine, but a machete or crossbow makes for an
During remarks on Friday at the House Democrats’ retreat in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden said that “inflation is largely the fault” of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden said that prices have been rising as a result of factors related to COVID-19, including supply chain issues and heavy demand for certain goods. He also directed blame
Jake Tapper interviewed Bill Barr, the former U.S. attorney general, and many liberals lashed out angrily at CNN for giving the former Trump official a platform. Tapper challenged Barr to explain why he worked under former President Donald Trump despite some of the criticisms he offered in his book about his time as attorney general.
Closing out another incredibly busy news week, NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick Fondacaro and I kicked off Friday’s NewsBusters Podcast with some gloating over the sentencing of Jussie Smollett — the far-left actor who faked a hate crime on a January 2019 Chicago night in subzero temperatures — and the liberal media’s complicity in his
My esteemed colleague, Stephen Kruiser, thinks Jussie Smollett, who was sentenced to 150 days in jail, got a slap on the wrist. But I’m here to tell you that’s not the case. Judge James Linn gave Smollett a punishment he will not soon forget: incarceration in the Cook County Jail for six months. CCJ is
Democrat Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington, D.C., appeared to minimize a shocking carjacking in her city that, once again, ended with the victim losing his life. Police say 33-year-old Rakesh Patel, a D.C. area MedStar physician, was pronounced dead after at least one carjacker allegedly stole his vehicle and then killed him with it. Dr.
