There has been an overwhelming amount of finger-point here in the coronavirus plague era. Democrats blame President Trump for not taking the threat seriously. President Trump blames China for being coy and lying about the outbreak. The media blames whomever the Democrats blame, of course, because they’re mindless chimps. And on it goes. I felt

There’s a reason why Donald Trump hasn’t granted an interview to PBS since he announced his run for president in 2015. That reason — it’s Democrat territory — came out in a contentious PBS NewsHour interview on Friday with Vice President Mike Pence. It’s nothing like the softness Woodruff has offered Hilllary Clinton. Or Joe

At a time when the lives of the people of Egypt have been, like the lives of most people around the world, disrupted by coronavirus; at a time when Egyptians, like others, are wearing masks, staying indoors and social distancing—a group of undeterred Islamic terrorists were preparing to launch a major terror strike on Egypt’s

Nintendo’s new social simulation video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which is out now for the Switch console, has become incredibly popular thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak causing people to stay home – selling over 3 million copies worldwide so far. In Japan (where numbers are increasing in urban areas, one of the factors that caused a

A MOST VALID QUESTION Only time will tell which of our nation’s governors has responded best to the coronavirus pandemic. There are varying degrees of shutdown from state to state. California’s Gavin Newsom put the kibosh on freedom of movement pretty early, for example. Here in Arizona, Doug Ducey was one of the last governors

Liberal media elites sure don’t seem to have a problem with life-crippling stay-at-home orders stretching through 2020 into 2021 and 2022, do they? On Friday’s Situation Room, CNN host Wolf Blitzer and chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta griped about how President Trump would not only acknowledge the mental toll that they’ve taken on the

This was fun for me. A big part of my new senior columnist duties here at PJ Media is focusing on VIP content. I want this podcast to grow, and there will be a lot of effort put into that. I like talking about books and I love getting recommendations from others. LET’S DO THIS.

The liberal New York Times devoted two stories between Apr. 15 and Apr. 17, attacking President Donald Trump’s decision to freeze funding to the World Health Organization. The effort attempted to insulate one of the president’s biggest liberal critics on the matter from conservative scrutiny: billionaire Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates. The Times piece spent the

America’s leading universities have begun to respond to the financial consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. Duke University will “pause” construction projects, new expenditures, and hiring, and freeze salaries (with the possibility of a bonus for employees earning less than $50,000). Princeton University will suspend faculty and staff salary increases, freezing new hiring save in exceptional

This Thursday’s edition of CNN’s coronavirus town hall turned into a Democratic Party campaign event when co-hosts Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta invited former Vice President Joe Biden onto the show to rip President Trump, and opine about how he would do things differently. And while there were frivolous campaign questions asked, neither of

On April 26, 1986, a nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded, starting a tremendous fire. Both the explosion and the fire resulted from structural damages caused by negligence during the construction of the plant which were known for more than a decade but never acted upon. Radioactive fallout spread over approximately 39,000

A couple celebrities are trying to leverage their star power to get state governments to release prisoners due to the threat of coronavirus, arguing that it would somehow make New York communities “safer.” Two Oscar-winning celebrities, Joaquin Phoenix and John Legend, have each appealed to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over social media to allow

Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly remains a heroine to many conservatives. Clearly, she is not to the makers of Mrs. America, which debuted on FX on Hulu Wednesday. From the start, Schlafly is shown pretending. She pastes a smile to walk a runway in a red, white and blue bikini at a Republican fundraiser. Once

The official reason for the unprecedented closure of much of the United States in response to COVID-19 is that lives matter. Indeed, they apparently matter so much that no sacrifice is too great—neither of your freedom nor of the economy—if it can save even one life from the virus. Surely this is a noble sentiment,

During a Wednesday morning interview with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on NBC’s 3rd Hour Today show, co-host Craig Melvin made sure to tread softly while asking about the Democrat’s highly controversial and draconian measures in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Once that was out of the way, he was free to chat with her about

The Light at the End of the Quarantine Tunnel May Still Be a Train Full of Tyrants One of the more frequent themes of shutdown humor has been our inability to discern time and dates much anymore. We are in the fifth week of a calendar blur that at times has seemed as if it

It’s no secret that New Amsterdam’s psychiatrist Dr. Iggy Frome is a “bleeding heart liberal.” His left-wing views drive many show plots including one in Tuesday’s Season 2 finale, “A Matter of Seconds.” Focusing on Red Flag laws, the finale subtly promoted gun control by featuring an unsympathetic gun owner whose firearm was taken when his

The whole country is on an anxious edge. We’re dealing with a deadly virus, one we have no history with and no immunity from yet. There’s no vaccine. Tests are still spotty. It has killed more than 22,000 Americans to date and infected hundreds of thousands more. And it came from a hostile China that

Censorious tech activist and former Reddit CEO Ellen K. Pao took a swing at President Donald Trump during a time of crisis. Pao bashed the president in a tweet April 14. Pao included in her tweet an article from The Washington Post headlined “What it really means when Trump calls a story ‘fake news.’” The

DO WE NOT FEEL THE LOVE IN THE ROOM?!? Sen. Bernie Sanders wasted little time in lighting the anti-Trump unity candle, endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden less than a week after he ended his own presidential campaign. There was decidedly less acrimony in Sanders’s departure this year than there was in 2016, when the

CNN couldn’t stand the heat so they bailed out of Monday’s Coronavirus Task Force press conference and dove right into some unhinged hot takes. While they insisted President Trump was the one who was raging, the OutFront panel was clearly irate as they threw out a flurry of insults and unsupported accusations all in an

This is a familiar scene, so familiar that it has now become the New Normal. You are in a supermarket searching diligently for toilet paper to hoard for the long haul, but although the cardboard sign reads “1 package per family,” the shelves are as bare as Old Mother Hubbard’s cupboard, and have been for

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
