Country music star Carrie Underwood faced the rage of some on the left after she committed the simple act of liking a tweet from a conservative commentator against school masking. Underwood liked a tweet from Matt Walsh that included a video of his speech to the Nashville school board arguing against “the cruel and indefensible
Hmmm, perhaps we have another secret Hollywood conservative on our hands, or someone who just follows common sense COVID procedure and has to be discreet about it. Recently, American Idol winner and pop/country megastar Carrie Underwood approved of conservative writer Matt Walsh’s speech decrying a Tennessee public school system’s mask mandates. Walsh, a pundit at conservative outlet The
The collapse of Afghanistan, record inflation, high gas prices, and the border crisis appear to have already taken their toll on Joe Biden’s popularity, as multiple polls are now showing that approval for Biden is starting to tank. At least in some polls. The latest survey from Rasmussen Reports shows Biden polling underwater, with 45
Cancel culture has claimed another victim — and swiftly. What happened? The National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs organization hired Dusty Imoo last week as the new goaltending coach for its AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, the Toronto Sun reported. But the franchise dropped Imoo, 51, after just two days, the paper said, adding that
Authorities discovered human remains inside the wheel well of a C-17 military plane fleeing Taliban-controlled Afghanistan on Monday, the Washington Post and the New York Post reported. Desperate Afghani people swarmed departing planes earlier in the day in a bid to escape the country as the Taliban took over Afghanistan’s capital city, Kabul. What are
Appearing on Tuesday’s CBS This Morning, retired general and former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster not only blasted President Biden’s disastrous decision to recklessly surrender Afghanistan to the Taliban but completely blew up the broadcast network’s “false narrative” that the Afghan people wanted the U.S. out. “Is it your belief, General, that we should
One of the first things I thought in the wake of Biden’s epic disaster in Afghanistan was, “What must George W. Bush think about this?” His presidency was defined by 9/11 and the war on terror, and it was inevitable that he would release a statement about what has happened. As expected, he released a
America today isn’t hard to understand. In his farewell address 60 years ago, President Dwight Eisenhower explained the destructive path the “intelligence community” planned for us. His explanation went well beyond expressing fear of a military-industrial complex. He warned that secularism, technology, and academia beholden to government would conspire with the military to undermine the
More than 5,000 students in Florida’s Hillsborough County Public Schools are in quarantine or isolation due to a massive spike in coronavirus infections as the 2021-22 school year begins. Hundreds of district employees in the Florida school system are also in either quarantine or isolation. The district, according to reports, serves more than 200,000 students
In all my many years of blogging MSM outbursts against Republican presidents, I’ve never seen anyone angrier than Richard Engel about Biden’s Afghanistan fiasco. Well, there was Keith Olbermann. But for present purposes, let’s leave aside the clinically disturbed. In a piece with which Morning Joe opened today’s show, Engel absolutely unleashed on the Biden
Earlier this summer I had the chance to talk to an Air Force general about Afghanistan, and between us, we came up with a prognosis that might best be described as “bad but acceptable.” While the brigadier wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) comment officially on administration policy, he could still tell me about the mission that would
A child’s birthday party took a shocking turn when alligator attacked an animal handler who was saved by two brave bystanders who jumped in to help her. The startling incident unfolded at Scales and Tails on Saturday in West Valley City, Utah. As children looked on, the alligator trainer tried to order an alligator back
On the radio program Monday, Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere agreed that a Taliban takeover might have happened eventually under President Donald Trump — especially with plans to pull U.S. troops out of the nation entirely — but there’s “no way” it would have happened the way it did under President Joe Biden. Watch the
Grim images are rolling out of Afghanistan, as the capital city of Kabul fell to the Taliban and the Afghan president flees the country. The debacle has shocked even the mainstream networks, who are comparing it to the U.S.’s chaotic withdrawal from Saigon in 1975 to end the Vietnam War. The Monday edition of the
Well, it’s happening. Joe Biden’s epically disastrous presidency has become too hard for even fervent Never-Trumpers to ignore. As encouraging as this is to see, it is sadly too late for buyer’s remorse. These people publicly supported Joe Biden, assuming that he would restore normalcy and leadership to the presidency. While they’ll never admit it,
As the U.S. withdraws from Afghanistan and the world witnesses the Taliban swiftly taking control in that country, the Biden administration is facing criticism. Brett Bruen, who served as director of global engagement at the Obama White House, wrote in an opinion piece that national security adviser Jake Sullivan should be fired. “The disaster that
A pastor in Rocklin, California, is handing out vaccine “exemption letters” in order to enable people to avoid vaccine mandates based on the freedom of religion. Destiny Christian Church Pastor Greg Fairrington says he’s not anti-vaccine, he’s just pro-freedom. “On Sunday, we prayed for educators, nurses, doctors, and first responders who are being mandated to
On the latest NewsBusters Podcast: The Monday morning shows were a bad neighborhood for Team Biden. “Saigon on steroids,” proclaimed normally supportive George Stephanopoulos on ABC. NBC’s Savannah Guthrie pressed Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan on how Biden insisted there would be no dramatic collapse of the Afghan government. This was much tougher than
Many said that Joe Biden was just a puppet candidate in 2020. His purpose, they insisted, was to play the role of a “compromise” candidate who could win over independents and help the Democrats oust President Trump. They believed that after an acceptable period of time (six months, a year, two years), he would resign
As Americans and the rest of the world witness the rapid fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban as the U.S. moves to withdraw, the unfolding situation can be particularly painful for U.S. veterans and Gold Star families. “It’s a disgrace to this country to depart like this,” said retired Army Colonel Dave Brostrom, whose son
Former President Donald Trump has been on the attack, criticizing the Biden administration over the issue of Afghanistan as the nation swiftly falls to the Taliban while the U.S. seeks to withdraw. “It’s not that we left Afghanistan. It’s the grossly incompetent way we left!” he declared in a statement on Monday. “Afghanistan is the
After coming back from a “long-planned vacation” and ignoring it for a week, CNN Prime Time host Chris Cuomo finally got around to talking about his role in his brother, disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s sexual misconduct scandal (only after punting it to the end of the show). Throughout his comments, Cuomo would lie
I have been a big fan of The Onion, going all the way back to when it was a Wisconsin-based print publication. Those who have become accustomed to my odd sense of humor won’t be surprised that I grew up devouring issues of satire stalwarts Mad Magazine, National Lampoon, and, for a while, Cracked. In recent years, The
While the U.S. and the world witness the swift fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban as America moves to withdraw, a recent poll found that a significant majority of likely general election voters disapprove of President Biden’s handling of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. The Trafalgar Group survey, which indicates that it was a partnership
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom took aim at the Republican front-runner, talk show host Larry Elder, in California’s recall election as polls show Newsom’s support weakening.

YouTube is receiving criticism from a U.S. congresswoman after it reportedly removed a video of a news conference that discussed a legal challenge to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “vaccine passports.” In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis said the Big Tech giant blocked her 45-minute news conference announcing a lawsuit against
Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis has been suspended from Twitter. After managing to make it through the rough months following the 2020 election without being suspended, somehow she finally angered the gatekeepers at Twitter. What did she say, you ask? Well, that’s hard to answer, but here’s the notification she got: So, @JennaEllisEsq was suspended
Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, fell to the Taliban over the weekend as the U.S. military pulled out of the region. On Monday’s episode of “Pat Gray Unleashed,” Pat discussed the chaos and revisited President Biden’s remarks made July 8 about Afghanistan. During a news conference, a reporter asked Biden if a Taliban takeover of
Hundreds of people waving Afghanistan flags protested Sunday outside the United Nations in New York City just as Taliban fighters plowed through the nation and took over the capital of Kabul, Yahoo News reported via Storyful. ‘Afghan Lives Matter!’ One of the phrases protesters chanted was “Free, free Afghanistan!”: Smoke devices set off as protesters
