Outside the Beltway

Sigh.

They went all-in on the Big Lie and we now have the receipts that they knew what they were doing.

Two related examples: are they “cancel culture” or not?

The Democratic strategist and longtime talking head is gone at 73.

Shockingly, they’re not remotely equivalent.

A pattern is emerging.

Science and insanity don’t mix.

Whataboutism about a visit to Whataburger (and other tales of obfuscation).

Speaker Pelosi and House Republicans are waging separate battles with science.

The press’ abandonment of Bothsiderism is decades overdue.

Last night amplifies a long pattern.

Preying on the fears of old white people is good business.

Could a blue state governor be the future of the Republican Party?

Cable news “experts” frequently aren’t.

A smaller staff is arguably a good idea. But not this way.

The longtime anchor is leaving the network, ostensibly at his request.

Fox News Channel in general, and Fox And Friends in particular, have become nothing but a propaganda network for the White House and the President.

Even when it comes from his favorite propaganda network, Donald Trump doesn’t like bad news.

At least some conservatives appear to finally be recognizing that their movement has been taken over by grifters and frauds. The only question is, what took them so long?

So far at least, appearing on Fox News Channel does not appear to be hurting the candidates who’ve done it with Democratic voters.

President Trump isn’t pleased that a news network that has generally been his own personal propaganda network is reaching out to Democrats.

Passing up an opportunity that other Democrats are taking, Elizabeth Warren is declining to appear on Fox News Channel. This seems like an unwise decision.

Mandatory vaccination laws raise personal liberty issues that ought to be taken seriously, but in the end, public health concerns weigh heavily in favor of laws mandating vaccination.

As it has since 2007, the Democratic National Committee is barring Fox News from hosting a debate featuring the party’s candidates for President.

A new report demonstrates that the relationship between Fox News Channel and the Trump Administration is much closer and more pervasive than previously believed.

In a two-hour rant before an adoring crowd of CPAC sycophants. President Trump displayed everything wrong with him and his Presidency.

The President will sign the bill to fund the government and avert another government shutdown, but in doing so he’ll also lay the groundwork for another showdown with Congress.

Many people are wondering how CNN knew to be at Roger Stone’s house in Florida this morning. It turns out that it was good old-fashioned reporting.

The Senate passed a bill that keeps the government funded through the beginning of February, but fails to provide any funding for the President’s border wall.

In what appears to be a first, Judge Brett Kavanaugh took to the media to defend his nomination. Not surprisingly, he chose a friendly venue.

Laura Ingraham has responded to the deluge of criticism to her foolish and disturbing commentary. This response is also disturbing. Her attempt to walk back the racist tone of her monologue falls flat. Her statement trying to make her views more clear reveal more of her limited thinking on this matter and in general.

There has been a deluge of responses to Laura Ingraham’s recent diatribe about culture and immigration, but I want to look at her rhetoric from a different perspective. The perspective I want to look at is statements by Ingraham about cultures changing over time and the implications in regards to policies about these changes.

President Trump has issued another controversial pardon.

Conservatives claim to support freedom of speech and freedom of expression, but they’ve utterly failed that test when it comes to their reaction to players who peacefully and respectfully kneel during the National Anthem.

Sean Hannity was Michael Cohen’s “secret client,” but it’s not clear that should matter to anyone.

Thanks to a combination of sensationalism and outright lies, a fairly conventional story about an annual protest march in Mexico was turned into Fox News fodder that raised images of an invading army of illegal immigrants.

Trump makes a DACA deal, apparently.

The president’s begrudging condemnation of evil didn’t last long.

Several former candidates for President are emerging as potential candidates for Senate.

For better or worse, the third Presidential debate will largely be remembered for one thing.

Sarah Palin has joined such luminaries as Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke in endorsing Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim immigration plan.

Most of the Republican candidates for President would rather support a lawbreaker than the Rule of Law. The American people should judge them accordingly.

Once again, Donald Trump is succeeding because he is saying things many Republicans agree with.

Contrary to what Donald Trump claims, immigrants are less likely to commit crime than others.

The Iowa Straw Poll seems to be dying, and that’s a good thing.
