The rise in violent crime in America doesn’t have any of the simple explanations that are usually advanced by the right and left. In fact, the reasons for the 35% spike in murders in 70 cities across the country in 2020 resist generalizations or pat answers. The pandemic lockdowns certainly contributed to the rise in

Let’s see if I understand modern-day Jim Crow. Requiring a government-issued ID to vote is the newest form of racial bigotry terrorizing black people. According to Democrats and corporate media, people of color struggle to obtain legal forms of identification, and therefore any attempts to mandate IDs to vote is an act just short of

An alarming video shows a mob of teens savagely attack an off-duty New York City firefighter while he was walking his dog in a park in Queens.

On July 15, a Reuters fact-check claimed that “many Americans embrace falsehoods about critical race theory.” But it is Reuters that embraced a falsehood, not the American people. Reuters denied that critical race theory teaches that “discriminating against white people is the only way to achieve equality,” saying that was a “misconception” promoted by “conservative media outlets.” It’s not

Washington, D.C., police chief Robert J. Contee III is mad at the justice system. He said at a press conference that “the justice system we have right now is not functioning the way that it should. The courts are not open. That is a fact. Barely open. So cases from last year…they have not been

After it was revealed that a number of U.S. olympic athletes were competing at the games without being vaccinated, they faced fierce criticism online, which led several of them to fire back in defense of their choice not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The furor began several weeks ago with swimmer Michael Andrew, who declared

Protests against vaccine passports erupted across the planet, stretching from London to Sydney. Hundreds of thousands of people rallied against government plans to institute vaccine passes that will grant access to many places to those who are vaccinated. In France, approximately 160,000 anti-vaccine passport protesters took to the streets to protest a proposed vaccine pass.

Facebook will allow its users to post the phrase “death to Khamenel” for the next two weeks.  The social media giant had previously censored the phrase amid ongoing protests in Iran, saying the phrase violated its Terms of Service by inciting violence. Activists subsequently complained about the censorship. ARTICLE19’s Masha Alimardani, whose posts were removed for alleged violations,

Obama’s presidency was, without a doubt, transformative. And I mean “transformative” in the most negative sense of the word. But one area where he could have left a more significant mark was the judiciary. Despite having a majority in the U.S. Senate during his first term, he let many vacancies go unfilled. In fact, his

Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez is suing the newspaper and several of its top editors because they did not allow her to cover the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanauagh during his confirmation hearings, as well as at least one other news story involving alleged sexual assault. The suit alleges that Sonmez

Venerated former professional football player Herschel Walker doesn’t understand why there are athletes carrying out performative protests at the Tokyo Olympics. Walker, who competed in the 1992 Winter Olympics, has one simple question for woke athletes protesting at the Olympics: “Why are you here?” Walker, who is rumored to be considering a U.S. Senate run

Can there be any better example of the absolute untruthfulness of various mainstream media types than this wildly untrue attack on Sean Hannity by The View’s Sunny Hostin? Here’s the headline from The Wrap:  ‘The View’: Sunny Hostin Calls Hannity’s Vaccination Endorsement ‘Too Little, Too Late’  “It only took Sean Hannity over 600,000 deaths to get on

Since COVID-19 arrived, anyone brave enough to go against the preferred narrative has risked their livelihood, career, and even their personal safety. Dr. Scott Atlas, who served on President Trump’s task force and disagreed with Dr. Anthony Fauci, had to hire private security. Stanford University investigated Atlas and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya for their dissenting recommendations.

Supposedly nonpartisan fact-checking org Politifact ran interference for the Biden administration this week, falsely claiming that Biden did not say he wants to ban handguns during a recent town hall. What’s the background? During a Wednesday town hall event with far-left television network CNN, Biden was asked a question from a member of the audience

The Chinese government criticized NBC for showing an “incomplete map” of the country during its Olympics opening ceremony, an apparent reference to the fact that NBC’s map did not include the island of Taiwan or the South China Sea, both of which are disputed territories that are claimed by China. According to Reuters, as delegations

In the #MeToo era that we live in, there are certain journalists who have a lot of explaining and reflecting to do. Near the top of the list: Bill Clinton-era reporters who have made cringe-worthy comments excusing the president. It was 23 years ago this week that Time contributor Nina Burleigh told then-Washington Post writer Howard Kurtz: “I’d

There’s a moment in one of the many MythBusters episodes when the late Grant Imahara says something wildly nerdy, and Tory Belleci does an eye roll and says “Dude, we’re trying to make science cool.” In that episode, the team tested whether ice can form on the exterior of a passenger aircraft and then become

Americans are losing faith in our justice system and the idea that legal consequences are applied equally — even to powerful elites in office. Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to detail what he believes will come next with the Durham investigation, which hopefully will provide answers to the Obama

The left and the Democrats have their head so far in … the sand that they deny there is a crisis on our southern border. They deny we have a drug-trafficking crisis, a human- and sex-trafficking crisis, and deny that they have all but ceded control of the southern border to Mexican criminal cartels. The

Last August, National Public Radio promoted a book titled In Defense of Looting. On Monday, the NPR Politics Podcast aired a “Book Club” segment where the NPR fans were supposed to read a book together, and this case it was a book titled America on Fire: The Untold History of Police Violence and Black Rebellion Since

Over the past five years or so, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), once a beacon of professionalism, has seen its credibility go down the toilet. After a period of unprecedented politicization in the Department of Justice during the Obama years, the FBI has become the very epitome of “The Swamp,” and we need to

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) took firm action against the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream after the company announced that they would no longer do business in what they referred to as “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” DeSantis asked the State Board Administration to place both Ben & Jerry’s and its parent company, Unilever,

An environmental scientist who formerly worked for the Iranian regime says that years of water mismanagement has damaged their infrastructure so badly there’s no turning back. Dr. Kaveh Madani says that Iran is essentially “water bankrupt” because of resource mismanagement. That means that all sources of water are drying up, including groundwater, rivers, and reservoirs.

In the newest NewsBusters Podcast, we discuss CNN’s softball townhall with President Biden, and how moderator Don Lemon let the president make wild claims without any attempt to fact-check him. He wrongly claimed the COVID death toll was more than all our major wars combined, and he wrongly claimed that cops never said Biden was

Can’t those hateful transphobes just get over themselves? Transgender activists just want to live and let live, right? They just want to make sure that transgender people can use whatever restrooms they want, without bothering anyone, right? Well, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling might have some words to say about that. On Monday, Rowling shared a

In a letter to International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, several lawmakers on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China are calling for the IOC to postpone the upcoming 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and ultimately move the games elsewhere if the Chinese government does not alter its behavior. “We are writing to ask the International Olympic Committee

Video of the rant was broadcast live on FloRacing and posted to social media where many were outraged over his reference to

In an unsurprising move, Hunter Biden’s life of corruption reared its head this week as, in addition to a dubious arrangement in which he (and the public) supposedly won’t find out who purchased his art when it goes on sale, he’ll be attending an art exhibition that will feature said paintings. Of course, ABC, CBS,

IT’S HERE!!!! I’m back in my natural habitat, which is in front of a camera. It’s a comfort to be in the ol’ happy place again. via GIPHY Some of you may remember that I first came to PJ Media as part of the now-defunct PJTV. As I am at my best when I’m standing

A German reporter was widely mocked and ridiculed when a video appeared to show her smearing her face with mud in order to make it look like she was participating in relief efforts for flood victims. Susanna Ohlen, 39, was suspended by RTL for faking her muddy appearance after a bystander recorded her applying the
