ESPN anchor Jemele Hill is the latest example of the media saying something over and over, and often enough that others will pick it up in the media and the public as fact, when it's a blatant lie.
"An ecosystem is comprised of all the non-living elements and living species in a specific local environment. Components of most ecosystems include water, air, sunlight, soil, plants, microorganisms, insects and animals."
You may have seen Dan’s piece on this last Thursday, looking at how it’s part of a bigger-picture strategy by the president to basically disrupt everything about how Washington does business. That’s a perspective you’ll want to consider as you observe events like this.
The Democrats would like for people to believe they were not cheering the Republicans' failure to pass ACA repeal and replace legislation, but they were cheering. To them it's a political victory despite the financial pain and suffering imposed on the American people.
Here we go again!
A Republican president begins his push for significant tax reform, and the Democrats draw the usual misleading and deceptive battle lines.
Whenever a Republican president offers a vision for policy reform, the media claims he is “short on specifics.” So it was last week when President Trump traveled to Missouri to begin his push for the reform of America’s tax code.
The displacement of lives, hopes and dreams by Hurricane Harvey has been unprecedented by all measures. People and organizations offering unsolicited assistance has also been unprecedented.
I used to wonder what it would have been like if I had ended up in the White House as president, being a problem-solving business leader with no previous experience as a political office holder. I don't wonder anymore, because now I know.
His name is President Donald J. Trump.
In Texas, a man tried to blow up a Confederate statue, because these days statues are apparently the greatest threat to our lives, health and well-being. But not before taking a drink of the substance he intended to use to cause the explosion! He did spit it out, so I guess it didn’t taste good.
Since the Michigan Chronicle, a historically black Detroit-based newspaper, thinks Dr. Ben Carson is a "house Negro", then I must be one also. Because that's one of the names you get called by other black people when you are a success at something, and you do not buy into "black group think", or act and say what they want you to say.
Atlanta’s Bishop Jerome Dukes was quoted widely in the media last week explaining why he thinks we should be spending time protesting statues of people from the Confederacy, and ultimately having them taken down.
Sadly, this is what our 535 members of Congress are doing, and they can't solve the health care and health insurance mess as a group. They bump into special interests who have supported their re-election campaigns, or they are trying to protect current sweeteners in current law, or they get bogged down with procedures, or they are trying to pay back old political favors.
There used to be an expression that said “politics stops at the water’s edge.” Some people took it to mean that you never criticized the president when he was out of the country, but what it really meant was that, when the president was facing an international threat or challenge and trying to protect the country, that was not the time to be taking partisan potshots at him.
Maybe you didn’t hear about it because it didn’t involve Anthony Scaramucci, but we got very good news this week on a matter that actually affects a lot of your lives. Small business hiring is picking up in America. Not only that, but the pay is good because quality workers are hard to find.
Dan's and Rob's reactions to what Senator McCain did last week were not an overreaction. Why? Because the more I tried not to think about what he did in casting the deciding vote to keep ObamaCare, the angrier I got. Dan and Robert's titles of their commentaries sum it up ...
Health, health care, and health insurance are not all the same, but they are all part of the mess we are in now.
The mess we are in now started with the Democrats in Congress and President Obama shoving ObamaCare down our throats.
I know a lot of Republican officeholders, and respect them a great deal. I am the last person who would try to tell you that Republicans in general don’t really want to govern, but prefer instead to sit back and take shots at Democrats while they govern.
Many of us were not big fans of "skinny repeal" to begin with, but at least it was a step in the right direction. Forty-Nine Republicans in the Senate reluctantly agreed with that line of thinking. Sadly, Senators Murkowski, Collins and McCain (consummate RINO's all) decided to protect Obama's 'signature legislation', along with forty-eight Democrats.
On Sunday at the British Open golf tournament, Jordan Spieth had one of the worst front nine of golf ever by someone leading the tournament. He eventually lost his two-stroke lead to Matt Kuchar, and many golf observers had to concede that Jordan didn't have it that day, and would probably lose the tournament.
