Minary: Humor is good—even and especially in politics and culture

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “And now for something completely different.” (the opening scene of every episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus on BBC) This article is a departure from the usual banter on politics, religion, morality and taxes.  We can all use a good laugh now and again.  Monty Python was a British comedy troupe that did out of the box, thought-provoking, bawdy, irreverent skits on a variety of topics including politics and religion. That show has aged very well.   Politics should still be a rich source of humor.  Here’s a simple way to tell if something is genuinely funny: it will make most people laugh, smile and feel better.   Mark Twain, one of my favorite humorists wrote two of my favorite quo...

Hemingway Says the Anti Trump Conspiracy Never Ended, More Classified Disclosures Coming

By Tim Hains | Real Clear Politics "The Federalist" editor Mollie Hemingway comments on CIA Director John Ratcliffe telling FNC's "Sunday Morning Futures" that the next declassification will open up James Comey, John Brennan, and Hillary Clinton to perjury charges over false testimony regarding "Russiagate." "People are so worried about a statute of limitations because some of the crimes that were committed were prior to five years ago," she said. "But the conspiracy is ongoing—it’s going on right now, not just with these same officials, Brennan and Obama, but also the media." MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: My reaction to what you just heard from CIA Director John Ratcliffe on your show is he actually broke some pretty major news there. We have had this week absolutely explosive ...

Turley: Key players behind the Russian collusion hoax—and why they’re sweating now

By Jonathan Turley | Commentary, Fox News Former CIA Director Brennan and other top officials reportedly 'lawyering up' as declassified documents contradict previous testimony The release of declassified material has shed new light on the creation of the Russian collusion investigation and many of the names are crushingly familiar. Indeed, Congress is moving to "round up the usual suspects" in light of the new revelations. It is the story of the real Russian conspiracy: how high-ranking officials in the Obama Administration seeded this false claim with the help of an eager, unquestioning press corps. Not surprisingly, the media, which spent years repeating the false Russian collusion claims, is doing a full-court press to kill the story. Yet, many of these key figures are retainin...

Court Decision Validates Lindell’s Election Integrity Challenge

By Zach Schonfeld | The Hill A federal appeals court ruled in favor of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on Wednesday in his bid to avoid paying $5 million to a software developer who declared victory in Lindell’s contest to disprove his claims of foreign interference in the 2020 election. The three-judge 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel’s unanimous decision found an arbitration panel exceeded its power by changing unambiguous contract terms to award the developer Lindell’s prize. “Fair or not, agreed-to contract terms may not be modified by the panel or by this court,” U.S. Circuit Judge James Loken wrote in the 12-page decision. In an interview, Lindell called the lawsuit a “setup.” “This is vindication. This opens a door that no man can shut. I am so excited. I mean, this ...

‘They destroyed America’s trust’: Hemingway says media should be investigated over their role in seditious conspiracy

The Federalist Staff https://rumble.com/v6wjml6-hemingway-russia-collusion-hoax-media-should-be-investigated-for-their-role.html “None of this would be possible without a complicit media that willingly participate in these info ops perpetrated by bad actors in the intelligence community. Some of the same people who uncritically regurgitated the Russia collusion hoax also uncritically regurgitated the lie that Hunter Biden’s evidence of family business corruption was a Russian plant,” Federalist Editor-In-Chief Mollie Hemingway said on Fox News’ Kudlow. “They have destroyed Americans’ trust —whatever trust they should have had — in the intelligence community because of how they’ve politicized things and because of how the media have gone along with this. And instead of getting award...

Hutchins: ‘Free press under fire’ isn’t just a panel title—it’s reality

By Corey Hutchins | Commentary, Inside the News in Colorado, Substack The free press is under fire. That was the theme of a public discussion in Colorado Springs about the ways in which the local journalism industry operates during a time of, shall we say, disruption. On the panel was Gazette Executive Editor Vince Bzdek, former Denver Post Editor Greg Moore, Rocky Mountain PBS CEO Amanda Mountain, Colorado Sun reporter and editor Jesse Paul, and KOAA News5 investigative journalist Alasyn Zimmerman. Will Stoller-Lee, the program chair for the Greenberg Center for Learning and Tolerance, moderated the discussion at the Ent Center for the Arts on the campus of UCCS. Topics ranged from bias and diversity in newsrooms to attacks from Republican Pres...

Givas: CNN Puts ICE in the Crosshairs: ‘Sickening and Dangerous’ Says Enforcement Director

By Nick Givas | The Western Journal Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd M. Lyons slammed CNN Monday, accusing the network of putting his officers in danger by publicizing an app that allows users to track their location. “CNN’s promotion of an ‘ICE spotting’ app is reckless and irresponsible,” Lyons said in a statement on ICE’s website. “Advertising an app that basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers’ backs is sickening. My officers and agents are already facing a 500% increase in assaults, and going on live television to announce an app that lets anyone zero in on their locations is like inviting violence against them with a national megaphone.” He added, “CNN is willfully endangering the lives of officers who put their lives on the l...

Hegseth Was Right: Trump’s Iran Strike Hit Harder Than the Media Wants You to Know

By Byron York | Washington Examiner HEGSETH IS RIGHT. This newsletter has often noted a peculiar feature of some media coverage of President Donald Trump: When Trump or Republicans say something, many reporters and commentators reflexively seek to knock it down. When Trump or Republicans say A, they immediately say not-A. Do Trump and his GOP allies say former President Joe Biden seems out of it? Then Biden must be just fine. On Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth offered his own description of the phenomenon when he was addressing media coverage of the effectiveness of the U.S. bombing attack on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Trump has said the raid was a huge success and that U.S. bombers “completely demolished” and “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear sites. Almost immediately, som...
