Paul Krugman: Trump will bring global recession

In honor of the Dow Jones crossing the 24,000 mark (at least during intraday trading), celebrate Throwback Thursday by reliving this dire prediction from a Nobel Prize winning economist. Proving yet again that one can be an expert in one's field and still be terribly, awfully, embarrassingly wrong if one allows oneself to be blinded by one's ideology....

Matt Lauer fired from NBC News after complaint about 'inappropriate sexual behavior'

Anybody in for a Network News scandal pool? You can choose from Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Wolf Blitzer, George Stephanopoulus, Jake Tapper, Charles Gibson, Al Roker, David Muir, Chris Wallace, Chris Matthews, or... uhhh... Wow, there aren't many others left to choose from!!

‘Morning Joe’ caught airing pretaped show day after Thanksgiving

This barely matters, in truth, but stuff like this is a big reason why people still throw around the term "fake news". No mention of a terrorist attack that killed over 300? Nor any conversation about any of the three football games? Come on, folks!! If you want us to take you seriously, maybe start by taking your viewers seriously!! And spare me the "this is merely punditry and not actually news" riposte. I know it's not news, and YOU know it's not news, but dozens of people watch this show and believe that it IS news!!

Franken Reiterates He Won't Resign: 'I Know That I've Let A Lot Of People Down'

I wish I had the stones to make wagers with people on this one a week ago. Al Franken is going no damn where. Democrats circle the wagons and protect their own. Just like they're protecting the "icon" John Conyers. As I said last week, it's a trait that I admire. Michael Corleone would be proud!! But that's alright. If Alabama elects that whack-job in Alabama in a couple of weeks, my comebacks will be ready...

Here's your leftover turkey: The candidate we need in 2020 is Hillary Clinton

Secret Conyers settlement raises new questions on Capitol Hill

Try as you might, you will not find mention of the political party to which Rep. Conyers belongs. Which is telling, considering that various other Congressmen quoted and referenced in the article have their party affiliation appear immediately after their name. #thepartyofwomen #mediabias

Eight women say Charlie Rose sexually harassed them — with nudity, groping and lewd calls

New York Times columnist earlier today, MSNBC guy a month or so ago, and now Charlie Rose. Good thing the internet has largely rendered these news people useless, because there's going to be nobody left!! And though it's not related to bad behavior in the news business, I find it worth mentioning that despite another woman coming out today alleging poor behavior, Al Franken is as of now still a sitting US Senator...

Perspective | I’m a feminist. I study rape culture. And I don’t want Al Franken to resign.

Protecting their own. It's what leftists do. They circle the wagons, and I admire it. It's why they will soon return to power. Al Franken is not going anywhere. Maybe he doesn't run for re-election, but if he resigns beforehand, I will be shocked. There may be hearings in a month or three, but this news story only has a very small life span remaining and will be largely forgotten. Because very soon, Trump will tweet something stupid, and the media will happily trip all over themselves to cover it...

19-year-old elected mayor in Pa.

For all the talk about the great day the Democrats had on Tuesday, this little news nugget seems to have escaped everyone's attention. Usually the mayoral race in a small town does not make national news, but when the winning candidate is only 19? Then you have a story!! With our news media being what it is these day, there is no mention of the mayor-elect's political party. But you all know me well enough by now to realize that I wouldn't be mentioning it at all if the guy wasn't a Republican...

Matthews: Biden’s Definitely Running for President

Joe Biden doesn't scare me much. He's not a social justice warrior, and he hearkens back to a quaint era where politicians were expected to put aside their differences to get things done. Democrats want no part of that these days; they're more about armed resistance these days. To get any traction, he'd have to run as Santa Claus, and Bernie already has that market cornered.

Election fraud charges filed in 197th District special election

We always seem to get these stories the week prior to an election. But shame on Josh Shapiro; I will ABSOLUTELY "chalk these actions up to typical partisanship". Especially when there is no evidence that Democrat voters got treatment similar to that of the Green Party and Republican voters. And of course these shenanigans didn't change the outcome. This is Philly, after all!! But actions like this are why people don't trust the election process, and why people on my side of the fence don't always trust the numbers that come out of heavily Democratic precincts. Consider this story to be another data point to support that argument...
