Michael Medved and Yale Professor on De-escalating Partisan Madness

Why ask questions when you have no interest in the answers? The Associated Press just did a survey on the level of trust Americans have in the media. Only 14 percent of respondents claimed to have confidence in their reporting. 

By contrast, 83 percent had significant concerns over accuracy, three-fourths worried about bias and 81 percent were extremely or somewhat concerned that reporters don’t verify their information before publication.

Combined with similar outcomes from Gallup, the result should be a wake-up call for the AP and other media organizations. Instead, the AP blamed the erosion of trust to microscopic levels not on media organizations, but on “politicians,” and their consumers for being “not familiar with how journalism works.”

An industry that deals with failure on a scale this broad by attempting to blame its customers is an industry in total denial. And that tells us that the mainstream media will essentially do nothing to address the problem until the trust level drops all the way to zero.
It's not good.

Hamas Sympathizers on Campuses Across the Nation

What Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg is doing in Manhattan in his contrived case against Donald Trump is appalling, and it will get worse before it gets better in terms of interference with the campaign in a trial that should never have been begun much less continued into the stretch run of the campaign. 

We are watching a show trial and everyone knows it. I expect a spectacular backlash from this abuse of the criminal law. Most Americans have due process in their bones and they know: Trump is not getting due process. 

They see the permanent government putting its thumb on the scale, or in this case, its entire fist on the scale.

Pray the rebuke Democrats receive in November is enough to reset the party back somewhere close to where the old-school liberals lived. We don’t need a two-party system where one party has lost its commitment to the rule of law and to our ally Israel. Democrats have abandoned them both. The reckoning is coming.
