When Both Parties Pretend Not to Be Thinking About Abortion
The Democrats are talking about health care. Republicans are talking about religious freedom. But at Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearings this week, it’s really all about abortion.
Under normal circumstances, the partisan divide in this country over the controversial procedure would be dominating the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings and the surrounding media and public

The MSM's Hyper-Racial RNC Coverage
You're already aware that MSNBC -- America's self-appointed racist dog whistle truth squad -- oddly chose not to air numerous speeches delivered by racial minorities at last night's Republican convention. They have a narrative to protect, and all that. But the Left-wing cable news channel isn't the only outlet following Chris Matthews down the path of unhinged and shameless race-baiting.

Does Rubio Have Any Chance?
For weeks, Marco Rubio’s strategy has been dubbed “3-2-1,” meaning, come in third in Iowa, second in New Hampshire, and first in South Carolina. Now, Rubio seems to have tweaked the formula to something more like 3-5-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2. For some reason this still makes Rubio the prohibitive favorite, according to some of our prognosticators. The Florida senator has recently picked up

OPINION: The Biden Eclipse and the Trump Plateau
Something big happened at the Democratic debate. It didn’t have to do with Hillary Clinton besting Bernie Sanders or Jim Webb. What she had to do, after the long, battering summer, was show she is up to the battle, ready for it, capable—that she can do this. She did. She was crisp, lively, a presence. In demonstrating that she is up to the race she deprived Vice President Joe Biden of his

CNN Pulls the Plug on Trump Rally After Crowd Chants 'CNN Sucks'
President Trump kicked off his re-election campaign in Orlando, Florida, Tuesday night, but you would hardly have known it if you were tuning in to CNN or MSNBC.
"This was a defining moment in America history," Trump said of his decision to jump into the race in 2015. "Ask them right there," he said pointing to the media—and that’s when the crowd broke out into a “CNN sucks” chant.

Chris Matthews' sudden crash
On the Monday before Super Tuesday, longtime MSNBC host Chris Matthews came on the air and promptly, tartly announced he was retiring, that "tonight will be my last 'Hardball.'" His language and tone strongly implied he was being pushed out.
Politically, it felt like part of a pattern. At the same time that Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar suddenly dropped out of the race in an apparent

Joe Biden Just Performed a Miracle
What a difference a few days make. They brought Joe Biden back from the dead.
After a landslide victory in South Carolina on Saturday, he collected a bonanza of important endorsements on Sunday and Monday. Then, on Super Tuesday, when 14 states voted, he did exponentially better than almost anyone predicted. He probably exceeded his own dreams.
Bernie Sanders supposedly had the

Republicans Are Fed Up With Their Party, But Fired Up For 2016
Even before last week's chaos in the House GOP, congressional Republicans had some damage to repair with their rank and file, who largely see their own party as disjointed and ineffective.
In a HuffPost/YouGov survey conducted after current House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced his upcoming resignation, but before House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) withdrew from the
