Barack Obama

In 1629, frustrated by the unwillingness of Parliament to grant him taxation power, King Charles I of England dissolved the body and had nine members arrested. He did not recall Parliament for over a decade. The intervening period, known as Personal Rule, saw Charles I govern as a de facto dictator, with only a body of councilors to advise him. In 1640, forced by military necessity from…

The New York Times uncovered one reason President Biden isn’t facing his own “Tea Party” protest movement: Racism. Saturday's “Why Biden Hasn’t Faced a Second Coming of the Tea Party” claimed the Tea Party was built on racial backlash against Barack Obama: "The Tea Party was driven more by anxiety and resentment over a demographically changing country that had just elected its first…

Afghanistan continues to be a mess and President Joe Biden has no plan to get Americans and our allies out safely, but Friday morning’s Politico Playbook got to what REALLY matters in DC: the party scene!

The New York Times is raging at Fox News over an interview their reporter Annie Karni gave to CNN's Jim Acosta on Saturday night. Karni summarized the Obama view at the end of the segment that Team Obama (or Democrats in general) felt Obama's hundreds of birthday well-wishers were a "sophisticated, vaccinated crowd." In other words, only Trump fans are "super spreaders" when they…

Years before Barack Obama gave Chris Matthews a “thrill” UP his leg, the Democrat prompted a “chill” IN his leg. In fact, it was 17 years ago this week that the former MSNBC host swooned over the Democrat the media would fall in love with. During John Kerry’s Democratic National Convention, Matthews used eerily similar language to his more famous outburst: “I have to tell ya a little chill in…

The National Basketball Association is bringing in former President Barack Obama to help it export wokeball social justice to Africa. Obama confirmed he is joining the NBA’s Africa project to help advance “social responsibility” across the continent.

CNN Newsroom host Alisyn Camerota brought on media reporter Brian Stelter on Tuesday to discuss former President Obama saying the raise of misinformation "worries me," spurring Stelter and Camerota to lament the lack of solutions of information echo chambers and sensationalist media coverage...as if CNN isn't part of the problem. 

In the most bizarre and deranged take you’ll hear all day, MSNBC’s ‘All In’ host Chris Hayes accused Republicans of being racist for being willing to work with Democrats on an infrastructure bill. On Thursday night, after Senate Republicans and Democrats met with President Biden on the White House driveway to announce their infrastructure compromise, Hayes used the opening segment of his show…

Even after years of him being out of office, ABC’s Good Morning America still swoons over Barack Obama. During an interview with the former president aired Friday morning, GMA co-host Michael Strahan fondly recalled how Obama “ran on hope” in 2008 and wondered: “How can people get that hope back?” 

The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, released findings in March that showed a rise of 149% in reported anti-Asian American hate crimes from 2019 to 2020. PolitiFact wrote: “The report doesn’t mention former President Donald Trump. However, it does show that Google searches found spikes for racist terms such as ‘China virus’ and ‘Kung…

On Friday morning, CNN's New Day spent an entire segment with The Nation's Elie Mystal that demanded liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to retire immediately and not linger a moment longer so that President Joe Biden can firm a liberal replacement or risk having Breyer or a Democratic senator die when either Republicans retake the Senate or the White House.

CNN took a brief break from obsessing over the GOP’s “crisis” to actually focus on Democrat party drama on this morning’s New Day. Co-hosts John Berman and Brianna Keilar spoke with author and Atlantic journalist Edward-Isaac Dovere about his new book revealing how perturbed President Obama was by President Trump’s win in 2016 and how he even tried to influence the Mueller…

After accusing Fox News on Friday of being a "propaganda arm" for "radical" right-wingers, CNN host Fareed Zakaria got to show off his own production of liberal propaganda Sunday night in the CNN special, A Radical Rebellion: The Transformation of the GOP.

My major takeaway from President Biden's joint address to Congress is that he and his handlers are continuing to employ the Democrats' primary strategy from the Obama years: Never let a crisis go to waste. To scare the American people into accepting his reckless spending proposals, Biden is leveraging the pandemic, which means he is framing it as still hot, raging and dangerous, while…
