As detailed extensively in prior posts, Sarah Palin has sued the NY Times for defamation based on an Editorial regarding the 2011 shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.

I discussed the suit and the motion to dismiss filed by The Times in a prior post, NY Times defense: Palin Crosshairs Editorial Wasn’t Actually About...

A firestorm of controversy erupted when the NY Times ran an editorial, after the attempted assassination of Republican congressmen in Virginia, blaming Sarah Palin for the culture of political violence.

The Times specifically referenced an electoral map from 2011 which showed what appears to be cross-hairs over Arizona. That map, as we...

I love reading about regional cultural variances.

Typically these types of reports include the use of y’all vs. you all, or soda vs. pop.

The NY Times, The Washington Post and other major news media have been in a stiff competition to leak sensitive intelligence operational information in order to harm Donald Trump and his administration. Among other things, there have been repeated supposed intelligence community leaks disclosing the ability of U.S. intelligence to monitor...

Local officials are saying that 28 people were hurt in a shooting early Saturday after a dispute at a downtown Little Rock nightclub.

The city’s police chief said officers suspect multiple people fired weapons but that the incident was not terror-related.

Little Rock Police said on Twitter that 25 people suffered gunshot wounds...

For the Editorial Board of the NY Times, these are not the best of times, but the worst of times.

But more than anything, for the Times Editorial Board, it is the age of foolishness and the season of Darkness. [h/t Charles Dickens] Trump *literally* has driven them insane.

The Editorial blaming Sarah...

Well that was quick.

I can’t recall as substantial an assassination attempt against one political party as took place Wednesday morning, June 14, 2017. Certainly there have been individual assassinations and shots fired, such as by Puerto Rican nationalists in 1954, but this was a well planned attempt at mass murder directed...

Between 2010-2012, the Chinese government murdered or imprisoned 18 to 20 CIA agents after it demolished America’s spying operations within the country. The CIA has been investigating how this happened, whether a mole leaked information to Beijing or the Chinese managed to break our codes. The New York Times reported:

Assessing the...

The NY Times is on a hiring spree for its Op-Ed pages, purporting to get more diversity of opinion.

As Byron York puts it:

Seeking diversity, NYT editorial page wants anti-Trump opinion from left, right, and center.

Don’t expect the NY Times to hire me. Why?

I was a guest on NRA TV, with Bill Whittle sitting in for Colion Noir. I’m a big fan of Bill’s, and we often post his videos, so it was great to finally speak with him.

The appearance arose after NRA noticed my post, NRA VIDEO hits back at NY Times’ pretentious Oscars...

I didn’t watch the Oscars. Why would I want to watch smug people who hate me congratulate themselves on how great they are?

I’d rather vomit blood. Maybe that’s not a fair analogy. I’d rather crawl on my stomach over hot coals covered with broken glass. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

I wasn’t alone, as...

I remember traveling to Texas when I was in private practice, meeting a lawyer who was investigating a possible investment fraud case who wanted me to get involved.

I’m pretty sure it was in San Antonio.

What I remember most about the trip was the lawyer’s “truck,” or as we say in more...

It’s been a while since we measured the lack of diversity at major liberal publications.

In 2012, I did a photo montage of the NY Times Editorial Board and Masthead in response to an Op-Ed by a U. Penn. professor accusing Republicans of tokenism by appointing Tim Scott to fill the seat...

Hillary Clinton is lagging in the usually must-win state of Ohio and as a result, the New York Times has decided that Ohio just isn’t as important as it used to be.

The NY Times has a story on how Breitbart News has become a center of political attention this year, and how its traffic and influence is at an all time high.

That was the focus of the article, but there was one paragraph that jumped out at me (emphasis added):

Before Mr. Breitbart...
