STUDY: When There’s a Slaughter, the Press Loves to Blame Conservatives
An avowed racist committed an unspeakable act on May 14, 2022, murdering 10 African Americans at a grocery story in Buffalo, New York. The mainstream media reacted in a sadly predictable way: They took an evil action by a disturbed individual and attempted to link conservatives everywhere to it.
According to NBC’s Chuck Todd, “the chickens are coming home to roost” when it comes to

Before he can get Congress’ approval for his war against ISIL, President Barack Obama may have to win an ugly battle with his own party.

Unions Have Made Supply-Chain Problems Worse
Organized-labor headlines typically offer a zap of top-line shock — UPS is paying some drivers $134,000 a year? Philadelphia is paying a police detective $310,000 a year? — but those six-figure sums don’t capture the true cost.
