After White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and chief of staff Reince Priebus offered strongly-worded statements on Thursday afternoon at CPAC condemning the media as “the opposition party” to the Trump team, Vice President Mike Pence offered an evening address to a boisterous audience.

Lib Pundit: For GOP, ‘Crazy’ Trump Small Price to Pay For Tax Cuts
February 16th, 2017 9:02 PM
John McCain’s 2008 campaign slogan, “Country First,” does not describe the worldview of Republicans, suggested Pierce on Monday. For them, the Esquire blogger implied, it’s more like “GOP über alles.” The peg for the post was chit-chat in the political and media worlds about whether President Trump is of sound mind, or, as Pierce put it, about “the possibility that the presidential trolley has…

MSNBC Mocks Pence Anti-Slavery Tweet, Chicago 'Massive Success Story'
February 6th, 2017 10:15 AM
Saturday's AM Joy on MSNBC displayed how the Left can interpret racism or racial insensitivity into anything as host Joy Reid not only mocked President Donald Trump's words of praise for iconic anti-slavery activist Frederick Douglass, but even treated it as somehow inappropriate for Vice President Mike Pence to send out a tweet on February 1 commemorating President Abraham Lincoln signing onto…
The Week That Was
January 31st, 2017 4:15 PM
Republican members of Congress met in Philadelphia last weekend for what was called a retreat. It might have been more accurately labeled an advance. Perhaps not since the days of Franklin Roosevelt's first term has so much been done by so few that will potentially impact so many (to paraphrase Winston Churchill in a completely different context).
AP Ignores Falling Obama-Era Union Rolls, Takes Aim at Wisconsin
January 30th, 2017 2:02 PM
You would think that the establishment press and the rest of the opposition to Donald Trump's administration might be able to capitalize substantively (shrieking fundraising letters don't count as "substance") on Kellyanne Conway's shaky reference to "alternative facts" about a week ago. (She should have said, "I have different, more defensible estimates than you do," because she did.) So far…

Before March For Life, CNN's Keilar Tags Women's March as 'Liberal'
January 28th, 2017 3:03 PM
All that "non-partisan" posturing, and they couldn't even get CNN to buy it. On Friday, CNN presented a segment on the 44th annual March for Life before it began. The press usually ignores the march's existence until after it has taken place, typically barely recognizes it afterwards, and almost invariably insists on describing crowd sizes which have often been in the hundreds of thousands as…

January 28th, 2017 11:01 AM
What a difference an election makes: The annual pro-life March for Life, long ignored by the New York Times, led the paper’s National section on Saturday, driven by a little political star power in the form of Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway and Vice President Mike Pence.

Ashley Judd Unhinged: Trump Is Hitler with Daughter as 'Sex Symbol'
January 21st, 2017 2:24 PM
Of all the far-left, wacky statements made at Saturday’s Women’s March, actress Ashley Judd may take the top honor (or DisHonor) for an R-rated tangent against “Electoral College-sanctioned hate speech” by President Trump and his team of “Nazis” capturing “little girls like Pokemon” and Ivanka Trump as his “favorite sex symbol.”

CBS Lectures: Does Unpopular Trump Have to ‘Tilt at Every Windmill?’
January 19th, 2017 11:58 AM
The Trump/Pence administration hasn’t even taken office and CBS is already going negative. CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose on Thursday reminded Vice-President-elect Mike Pence just how unpopular the team would be. He also lectured Pence about social media: “You've been asked this before, I'm sure, are the Tweets, A, necessary, B, distracting? And does [Trump] have to tilt at every windmill…
