NPR Scandal Should Kill Taxpayer-Funded Broadcasting

By: Charles Lipson，＆nbsp；RCP — April 18th 2024 at 14:26
"I don't want any yes-men around me," said Sam Goldwyn, the Hollywood producer famed for his movies and malapropisms. "I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their job." The brass at National Public Radio must have heard Sam, but they add a slight amendment. We want only "yes-men" (they/them) and will boot anyone who dares to dissent.

John has PTSD. The 78-year-old is a Vietnam war veteran, but that's not the source of his trauma - at least according to his t-shirt. PTSD, in fact, stands for "Pretty Tired of Stupid Democrats", which is why John has made the 560-mile pilgrimage from his home in Wilmington, North Carolina to Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

Equality Under the Law and Conflicts of Interest in New York

By: Matt Whitaker，＆nbsp；RCP — April 18th 2024 at 09:35
One of America's foundational principles is "equal justice under the law," or the principle that no matter who you are or what you stand for, you are entitled to a fair chance to make your case in a court of law. That's why the Lady Justice statue outside the Supreme Court wears a blindfold and holds a scale - the blindfold to symbolize her impartiality and immunity from outside influences, and the scale to signify her objective weighing of the evidence in front of her.

The Uncomfortable Facts About Cop Shootings

By: Varney ＆amp； Degnan， RCInvestigations — April 18th 2024 at 09:15
When Dexter Reed died in a shootout with Chicago police on March 21, the incident was quickly grafted onto a narrative that began in 2014 after a policeman killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. - namely, that the U.S. faces an epidemic of violence by unbridled cops who do not believe black lives matter. "Killing of Dexter Reed raises questions about Chicago police reform. ‘The message is, go in guns blazing,'" blared a headline in the Chicago Sun-Times.

What Was Won in No Labels' Crusade

By: Holly Page， RealClearPolitics — April 18th 2024 at 08:43
Earlier this month, No Labels' effort to offer a third choice for president in 2024 came to an end. It was an audacious idea from the beginning. We knew defenders of broken Washington would rage against us; their economic model demands it. But we did it anyway because we knew that a vast majority of voters wanted it, and giving voice to those voters is the only way to bring common sense back to our politics, something that is so desperately needed.

Is Biden Losing Pennsylvania?

Joe Biden only lived in northeastern Pennsylvania for about seven of his 81 years, but the city of Scranton looms large in his autobiography. The city, the state's fourth-largest in the days of the President's youth, was the home of Biden's mother's family for generations, since they immigrated from Ireland in the 19th century. Pennsylvania - and Ireland - make up only about half of the President's family tree but, in his telling, he's Scranton Joe the Irish Democrat through and through.
