Is Jake Tapper really this dumb?

Is this actually real? Did the distinguished Jake Tapper actually say, “Asking questions is literally our job. Demanding facts and answers, instead of just taking a President’s word for it”? After over four years of the credentialed media covering for Joe Biden’s descent into dementia, now Mr Tapper is saying that the media’s job is to demand facts and answers? Click on the image and you can see the video for yourself.

There’s a faked video of the Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunninghan trashing Jacy Sheldon of the Connecticut Sun that’s making the rounds on Facebook that’s pretty funny. In it, Miss Cunningham said that Miss Sheldon fell into the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, after the kerfuffle over Miss Cunningham’s hard foul on Miss Sheldon to stop a layup at the end of the game, a foul that was completely unnecessary, since the Fever were too far ahead of the Sun for the basket to have made a difference. It’s a good enough fake that it makes me wonder just how many artificial intelligence fakes there are in the world. Continue reading →

Bad causes attract bad people Why are all of the left's cause célèbre heroes bad people?

Galadriel

I had meant to write this on Saturday, but got sidetracked when we rescued a very emaciated Huskey (mix?) female dog. She was begging for attention outside of the Sav-a-Lot grocery store, and she’s skin and bones: ribs showing, as well as her hips. I walked her to my 2010 Ford F-150, still running strong with fewer than 200 miles until the odometer flips to 200,000, and brought her home. We fed her, and I’ll take her to the vet on Monday, because she might have worms, causing her to not get enough nutrition from the food she does get.

With three dogs and a cat of our own, we really can’t keep her, and I’ve been trying to find someone who can take care of her. That didn’t stop me from naming her Galadriel.

Robert Stacy McCain did write yesterday, noting the complicity of the credentialed media, which he has long called Democratic operatives with bylines, in minimizing the stories of attacks on Jews in the United States: Continue reading →

No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough!

You know, I get it: everyone wants to keep his job, no matter how royally he f(ornicated) up! As we have previously noted, the credentialed media have been trying their d(arnedest) to blame their almost total lack of coverage of thankfully former President Joe Biden’s declining physical and mental health not on their own failures to be actual journalists, but on Mr Biden’s inner circle and staff of paid flunkies to tell them the truth. How naïve do the reporters and editors have to be to think that people whose jobs and positions depended on Mr Biden remaining in office would tell other people that their boss was losing it?

Well, apparently the Editorial Board of The Washington Post want you to think that they were stunned by events!

If Biden was too frail for his job, voters should have been informed

Covering their own asses! The credentialed media are blaming everybody but themselves for their own failures

It has been a few days since journolists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson published their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, blaming everybody in Mr Biden’s administration for the elderly President’s decision to run for re-election despite his failing mental status.

No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough! Only a fool would believe that the credentialed media didn't know about President Biden's descent into dementia

Jake Tapper, the lead Washington anchor for CNN, and Senior White House correspondent for ABC News before that, is a very well connected man in Washington media circles. He knows everybody who’s anybody, and everybody who’s anybody in DC knows him. With a guesstimated net worth of $20 million, he gets invited to all of the great parties.

Perhaps that $20 mil just isn’t enough for him, because any he’s been taking heroic measures to try to save his journalistic reputation. Too bad that no one with any sense, any sense at all, would believe that a journolist — and you can see the reason I spell it that way — as well connected as Mr Tapper was wholly unaware that President Joe Biden was slowly losing his marbles.

And here he goes again, this time in the pages of The New Yorker:

How Joe Biden Handed the Presidency to Donald Trump

At a fateful event last summer, Barack Obama, George Clooney, and others were stunned by Biden’s weakness and confusion. Why did he and his advisers decide to conceal his condition from the public and campaign for reëlection?

by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson | Tuesday, May 13, 2025

President Joe Biden got out of bed the day after the 2024 election convinced that he had been wronged. The élites, the Democratic officials, the media, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama—they shouldn’t have pushed him out of the race. If he had stayed in, he would have beaten Donald Trump. That’s what the polls suggested, he would say again and again. Continue reading →

Why doesn’t The Philadelphia Inquirer report the whole truth about the city’s public schools.

Thanks to former city councilwoman Helen Gym Flaherty’s failed campaign for the 2023 Democratic nomination for Mayor of the City of Brotherly Love, this site has reported several times on the Edward T Steel Elementary and Middle Schools, noting something that The Philadelphia Inquirer never bothered to tell readers as Mrs Flaherty, who campaigned on her educational record, used that school as a backdrop for her campaign, proudly telling the voters that she helped keep the school from “going charter.” What didn’t the newspaper tell its readership? That the school had an absolutely abysmal academic performance. That school is ranked 1193th out of 1591 in Pennsylvania Elementary Schools and ranked 656th out of 875 in Pennsylvania Middle Schools. Schools are ranked on their performance on state-required tests, graduation, and how well they prepare their students for high school. In the current rankings, 8% of students tested grade-level proficient in reading, and 2% of students who scored at or above the proficient level for math. Continue reading →

Can The Washington Post be saved? The newspaper industry has updated as much as possible, but it's still 18th century technology.

We have previously reported on how owner Jeff Bezos’ decision that The Washington Post not make any endorsement for President in 2024 cost the newspaper hundreds of thousand of subscriptions.

But now columnist Joe Concha of the New York Post says that Mr Bezos is doing what is necessary to save one of our nation’s newspapers of record:

Three cheers for Jeff Bezos, fighting to save The Washington Post from itself

By Joe Concha | Thursday, March 6, 2025 6:52 PM EST

Jeff Bezos is one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs — but making his Washington Post staffers face reality may be his toughest-ever career challenge.

A long time ago in a media galaxy that now seems far, far away, the Post was one of the most respected newspapers in the country, capturing 68 Pulitzers in the process. Continue reading →

The New York Times and the control of language

I wonder if it will be approved.

At 10:56 AM EST I submitted a comment on The New York Times main editorial, “The MAGA WAR on Speech.” The Editorial Board is aghast that the Trump Administration has done radical things such as “The National Park Service (having) erased the letters T and Q: from L.G.B.T.Q. references on its website describing the Stonewall National Monument in New York City.” I responded:

On November 29, 2018, the Times gave OpEd space to Chad Malloy[1]Chad Malloy is a man male who claims to be a woman who goes by the faux name “Parker” Malloy. to write, “How Twitter’s Ban on ‘Deadnaming’ Promotes Free Speech.” On October 4, 2019, the Times gave OpEd space to Andrew Marantz to claim that “Free Speech Is Killing Us.” When Elon Musk bought Twitter, promising to promote greater free speech, Times Editorial Board member Greg Bensinger told readers that “Twitter Under Elon Musk Will Be a Scary Place.”

The Associated Press’ Stylebook mandates that ‘black’ be capitalized when referring to race, but not ‘brown’ or ‘white.’ More, the AP Stylebook has media all across the country referring to the transgendered by their preferred, fake names and the pronouns of what they claim to be, rather than what they actually are.

The left have been attempting to control the debate by controlling the use of language for as long as I’ve been aware of it.

Joy Reid and DEI: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

With the news that MSNBC has cancelled Joy Reid’s prime time show, my Twitter feed filled up with the laments of the left over that, and the inevitable complaints that she was fired because of raaaaacism the network hates black women. Former Representative Jamaal Brown (D-NY) tweeted:

Joy Reid educated a nation every single night. She is a beacon on MSNBC and all of media! Shame on MSNBC for this. SHAME SHAME SHAME! We have to build our own multimedia empire. Anchored in truth, and justice and humanity. We stand up for Black people, and GAZA and the LGBTQ, and oppressed people and vulnerable people everywhere! And we will never stop!

I absolutely support the right of Dr Brown — he tells us that he’s an “Ed.D.” in his Twitter handle — to build his own multimedia empire! We have freedom of speech and of the press in this country, and anyone can say anything he wishes, can start and try to build a show, at network, a publishing empire, whatever.

Elie Mystal, whom Dr Brown included in his tweet, is the “Justice Correspondent and Columnist” for The Nation, the socialist-left opinion journal, so he had plenty of space to express his opinion.

The Value of Joy

By canceling Joy Reid’s cable news show, MSNBC has not only silenced a brilliant host: It’s silenced the next Black voice you haven’t yet heard.
