It apparently took a lockdown for liberals to realize how badly they need to step up their game on YouTube. With much of the country staying at home on their computers, liberals are flailing in their attempts to utilize the internet as effectively as conservatives. “Joe Biden isn’t much of a YouTuber. But his campaign

We Handled That Well Let me begin this Monday by saying that I sincerely hope all of you managed to enjoy your Easter weekend as well as possible with the distancing thing going on. And I extend that to my Jewish friends celebrating Passover, and my non-believer friends who were celebrating not believing stuff. I

After the officially confirmed number of deaths caused by coronavirus in the United States passed the official number for Italy on Saturday, the evening networks rushed to questionably portray the U.S. as having the highest number of deaths without mentioning that the number of fatalties in China is believed to be higher. The networks also

On Saturday, U.S. District Court Judge Justin Walker granted a temporary restraining order preventing Greg Fischer, the Democratic mayor of Louisville, Ky., from blocking drive-in services on Easter Sunday. In the name of fighting coronavirus, Fischer had banned church services where parishioners worship from the safety of their cars, with windows up, in a church

CNN’s so-called “Reliable Sources” was known for being a place where professional journalism was shunned in favor of hysterics and theatrics. During Sunday’s edition of the show, frequent guest David Zurawik, a media critic for The Baltimore Sun newspaper, was unhinged from the get-go as he blamed the over 20,000 Wuhan Virus deaths in the

Maybe it’s the isolation, or the constant moving of the goalposts further down the road, or maybe it’s the nonstop squabbling of my three children who are reaching the end of their tolerance for each other and this never-ending lockdown, but my thoughts have recently turned to how much fun it was to smoke weed

On Saturday, Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi reported on Fox News with the hyperbolic headline “Up-in-arms Fox hosts fuel a drug war.” This might spur mental pictures of Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham flying a plane dropping herbicides on the coca fields. But it’s not an illegal or addictive drug. Online, the headline was

The only thing certain about the etiology of the COVID-19 pandemic is that it originated in and spread from China. Whether the local origin of the disease was a wet market in Wuhan specializing in bat soup or a Chinese lab with inadequate safety protocols is immaterial. The culprit in the lethal melodrama that is

At the nation´s Spanish-speaking media, the word “controversy” seems fit for use in just about any report about the coronavirus and the measures taken by the Trump administration to contain it, as well as to mitigate the economic hardships it has triggered. This video clip from recents newscasts at Telemundo and Univision gives you an

Let’s start talking about the post-coronavirus world, shall we? Because, God willing, the time is coming. We’ve covered every way possible to understand how to wash our hands. We all know where to get the latest info. We’re set in the education area. It is healthy and important to start looking beyond, lest we lose ourselves in

It takes something pretty wild to make a viewer think the CW dramatic soap opera Dynasty has gone beyond the pale, given the standard storylines written for the show. This week though, it succeeded. Just in time to be broadcast on Good Friday, during the episode airing on April 10 titled “She Canceled”, Cristal Carrington

This episode features some musings about what this weekend that is so holy in two major faith traditions is going to be like while playing by Coronapocalypse rules. I can get deep sometimes. In the midst of all the sadness and chaos, I find some unique opportunities for people of faith and non-believers alike. We’re

Apparently, liberals have an alternative reality built up in their minds where Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump in 2016 and now is an amazing president. On Thursday, CBS All Access’ The Good Fight dreamt of a world where President Hillary cured cancer and saved the rainforest and polar bears. Also on Thursday, writer Daniel W.

We Mock to Survive The Week Four WuFlu Wind-Down finds us all heading into an online Easter weekend that is going to require a little adjustment. And when I say “adjustment,” I mean “alcohol.” Well, that’s what I’ve been using for adjustment, anyway. The three-note news cycle — virus, economy, and awful media — continues

There was a disturbing trend that popped up on ABC’s World News Tonight and CNN’s latest coronavirus town hall Thursday night (the latter hosted by Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Thursday). Both ABC and Cooper marveled in amazement at the mobilization communist China’s mass surveillance state to track their citizens and monitor for

Writing about current events during the Coronapocalypse has been a bit of a slog, to say the least. I am constantly on the search for any story that isn’t about plague death or media malpractice. Prior to this I probably wouldn’t have gotten excited about a “smart toilet” story, but here we are, boys and

Isn’t it hilarious to find out that some of the rich and famous folks who look down on you for not believing in “science” also peddle absolutely insane conspiracy theories that put people at risk? A couple of the big name Hollywood types who insist that capitalism-driven climate change is killing the planet and that

Just Nyet We are going to have to begin today’s Morning Briefing with a preemptive strike/disclaimer sort of thing. I have been writing a lot in the last month about being cautious and responsible while fighting the spread of the virus. I’ve been sticking to the rules and being more isolated than I usually am.

Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri has frequently used humor in her items (usually published in Saturday’s print edition), so it was no surprise when her latest item tried to concoct a post-apocalyptic view of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as a fanatical, heartless, ruthless scourge still confirming federal court judges despite the fact that

On July 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon shocked the world by announcing that he, who had built his political reputation on fighting Communism (and earned the incandescent hatred of the American Left in doing so), would become the first president to visit Communist China. And that, my friend, is where our present troubles began. The

Are the Hispanic networks covering up unfavorable news for Joe Biden’s presidential campaign? That’s what it looks like. This time, it´s about a sexual harassment accusation against Joe Biden by Tara Reade, a former assistant of then-Senator Biden. It was not until the Spanish-speaking national network Azteca America, published a radio interview with Reade and

(Don’t) Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Or Something As we move into the 925th week of COVID-19 stay-at-home goodness, I’ve made no secret about the fact that I think it is going to have to go on a little longer, probably through the summer. I’ve also been the sports fan naysayer, predicting that Major

CNN host Chris Cuomo was apparently under the impression that being afflicted with the Wuhan Virus gave him free rein to throw out all pretense of journalism and turn his show, Prime Time, into his personal forum to lash out at President Trump. Last week, he cast doubt on whether we could all survive the

Join Steve Green (aka VodkaPundit) and Stephen Kruiser for an exclusive live chat for VIP Gold members on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. Eastern. During the chat, you’ll be able to submit your questions to be answered live. The live video stream will be added to this post shortly before each event. If you’re not already

ABC White House Correspondent and head of the White House Correspondents’ Association Jonathan Karl joined the hosts of The View on Tuesday’s show to answer complaints the ladies had about how President Trump treats the press. While the hosts lavished praise on the reporter whom Trump battled with yesterday, one host even demanded Karl lead

We’re Pretending THIS Guy Isn’t a Creeper? One extraordinarily positive by-product of the coronavirus lockdown is the fact that Der Bidengaffer and Grandpa Stalin have suspended their debates and campaigns, sparing us all from dreary election nonsense. There has been one significant bit of news that has been mostly ignored by the mainstream media: a

CW’s Roswell, New Mexico sure hasn’t been taking a break lately. After not one but two episodes pushing the virtues of abortion, we now jump ship to one of the great liberal strawman: the drunk redneck. It goes over about as well as a journalist at a Task Force briefing. The April 6 episode “What

Today in history, April 6, 1453, the Ottoman Turks began their fateful siege of Constantinople. What prompted it?  After all, the Turks and Byzantines had preexisting peace treaties.  Did the Turks have a “grievance” against New Rome? No, it was just a good old fashioned jihad, prompted by the same exact logic that had prompted

Despite arguing just days earlier that the media should continue to cover the daily White House press briefings from the Coronavirus Task Force, on Monday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski dramatically flipped her position, wailing that the events were “a complete waste of time” that “literally have no value.” “And so we’re looking at

Let Us Pray Our Way Through This We are now moving into the phase of the coronavirus apocalypse that I truly believe will be the most trying for those who aren’t used to working from home all of the time. There has been some novelty in these first few weeks — learning to use Zoom
