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

On Sunday’s Velshi show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi joined left-wing activist Reverend William Barber in complaining that taxes on the wealthy aren’t higher, and dismissed the benefits to society contributed by the wealthy. He also invoked Marie Antoinette against the Trump administration over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. At 9:35 a.m. Eastern, Velshi turned

A record 3.3 million Americans filed for unemployment the week of March 21 and economists at the St. Louis Federal Reserve office predicted that as many as 47 million Americans might lose their jobs before the coronavirus crisis is over. Meanwhile, a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia has decimated oil companies — right

ABC’s chief White House correspondent and White House Correspondents Association president, Jon Karl was the latest liberal journalist to decide they wanted to make a fat stack of cash by publishing a new anti-Trump book (Front Row at the Trump Show). As such, his Sunday appearance on Good Morning America was just another chance to

This week, PJ Media columnist Matt Margolis joins me on The Fringe to talk about the effects of the lockdown on our families and our mental health along with predictions on how long this is going to last, the constitutional repercussions, and what’s ahead for the election. Both New Yorkers, Matt and I bring you

MSNBC allowed Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace to host their coverage of Saturday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force daily briefing and, predictably, she twice interrupted to rip President Trump with like-minded guests Kimberly Atkins and Steve Schmidt. In Schmidt’s case, he blabbered that Trump was “completely over his head,” “incoherent,” “mentally….unraveling,” and “rambling.” After

Commies Gotta Commie As we discussed in last Wednesday’s Briefing, the already awful American mainstream media has managed to become even more irresponsible since the coronavirus took center stage in America’s collective stay-at-home consciousness. Every day, they find new ways to reinforce the “Enemy of People” status that they have been earning every day in

Liberals are unhappy right now that Donald Trump’s getting all the free air time for coronavirus press briefings, while Joe Biden can’t really campaign. This doesn’t mean Biden isn’t getting sappy, unchallenging interviews. That’s certainly going to be true when the interviewer is NBC’s Jimmy Fallon, who often treated the Obamas like they were the

This Is Delicious Happy Friday from the end of Week Three of Coronapocalypse Quarantine. My favorite beer place is still delivering here in the Sonoran Desert, so all is quite well in the Kruiser Bunker. I do hope that the faithful readers of the Morning Briefing are weathering this storm. We’ve decided to keep it

With the grave coronavirus pandemic worsening this week, the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings have been far more sobering and less combative than past episodes. Sunday and Monday featured fireworks, but it wasn’t until Friday’s that tensions resurfaced as President Trump squared off in two exchanges with CNN’s Jim Acosta and CBS’s Weijia Jiang

True story: A friend of mine was in the military and fell in love with a local national. Military doctors and the base command have to approve when a troop marries a local, so the bride-to-be had to undergo a medical examination via a military doctor on the base. That doctor took X-rays, blood tests
