    Liberals Blame Trump, Capitalism for Family Alienation
    In my last column, I published comments written by New York Times subscribers about how proud they were of their children for deciding not to have children of their own.

    The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN strongly objected and protested when the Trump administration obtained reporters’ phone records as part of an investigation into the leak of classified information.

    Another Trump Narrative Collapses: Why the Media Jumps to Conclusions
    When law enforcement cleared protesters from Lafayette Square last year, left-leaning media outlets immediately ran with the narrative that President Donald Trump had ordered the move so he could get a photo-op in front of nearby St. John’s Church.

    Why Biden’s Blaming Trump for Border Crisis Has Zero Credibility
    No one believes the Biden White House’s feeble attempt to blame the Trump administration for the current border crisis. As the Biden administration unsuccessfully tries to deflect blame for the humanitarian disaster now occurring before America’s eyes, despite its directed media blackout, the administration is only succeeding at showing it knows it has a problem….

    Democrats have twice impeached Donald Trump in the House and twice failed to convict him in the Senate. They’re angry about failing, and double angry about failing twice. That’s understandable.
