January 4, 2021 By Deborah C. Tyler On the morning of November 3, I texted a friend about how proud I was of America. After all the vilification, Trump would win because the system works. The last thing I said to my son-in-law as I went to bed that night was, “Don’t worry. They can’t overcome a nine-point lead in Pennsylvania. Trump is going to win.” How could I have been so blind? Because I had faith in the law. As the most destructive interstate crime campaign in American history was playing out, videos emerged (Philadelphia, Detroit, Gary) of authorized poll-watchers being barred from entering election headquarters by latter-day

October 2, 2020 By K.E. Campbell One doesn’t have to wade far into the social media cesspool to see posts labeling the president “fascist.” It’s ubiquitous too for anyone critical of BLM-Antifa to be labeled similarly. Do the online posters and name-callers know of which they speak (or type or text or tweet)? Or do they simply mean something or someone they don’t like? If the latter, it is not uncommon. A recent piece at Jacobin, “a leading voice of the American left,” included this: There are countless examples of journalists and contemporary historians taking a strong and understandable dislike to political figures in the present day,

Nothing good will come of the bullying, violence and baseless accusations that are filling the news cycle. Just before President Donald Trump was to start his fourth year in the White House, the state of race relations, according to Gallup, had increased 14 percentage points since he took office. It was an achievement “any president after three years would want to claim, particularly President Obama,” said a CBS reporter. One would have thought that race relations would have

You’ve heard me say this I don’t know how many times. Maybe you’re a little tired of hearing me say it. The Democrat Party has been promising utopia. And yet where is all this police brutality happening? In Democrat blue states. It’s so bad that they’re

I’ve read a hundred articles making that point, again and again, over the last few years—quite a few of them, in fact, at Breitbart News.” Okay, but what if Virgil told you that this particular article was written in…1994? As in, a full quarter-century ago? In other words, way ahead of

I pored over and unpacked the “alt-right manifesto” of an influential “thought leader” of the movement and found what was easily recognizable: a progressive strain placing it

(Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) In the wake of Obama, the Democratic party was a shipwreck, to be saved only by Hillary and the Supreme Court . . .What has transformed the Democratic party into an anguished progressive movement that incorporates the tactics of the street, embraces maenadism, reverts to Sixties carnival barking, and is radicalized by a new young socialist movement? Even party chairman Tom Perez concedes that there are “no moderate Democrats left,”

BROWN / AFP/Getty; Arr: BNN 5 Jul 201819,679 When not calling Trump supporters “Nazis” as a means to dehumanize us, the establishment media like to whine about the lack of civility in American politics, even as they cover up, ignore, downplay, or straight-up approve of the wave of violence and public harassment we are seeing against supporters of President Trump. It is open season on Trump supporters, and the media is only fomenting, encouraging, excusing, and hoping for more… The media are now openly

And I’m sure it’s the same with you. We haven’t seen anything like this. You might even get away with saying that we are on the cusp of a second civil war. Some of you might say that we are already into it, that it has already begun. However you characterize it, though, we are under attack from within. And it’s being bought and paid for by people from

By SCOTT MCCONNELL • August 17, 2017 The allegation that the mainstream media disseminates “fake news” about the Trump administration often can seem overwrought, even a kind of caricature. Yet the nearly universal media response to President Trump’s news conference at which he addressed the Charlottesville violence can only reinforce it. One day this response may make a rich subject for future historians analyzing it as earlier historians probed witch-burnings, pogroms, and other outbreaks of mass hysteria. They likely will focus on the spectacle of sophisticated, experienced, well credentialed people—Chuck Todd,
