CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky is getting a dose of media criticism for her “messaging.” It appears some in the health bureaucracy may be concerned she is feeding skepticism about the narrative by being truthful and then having to “backtrack” when the preferred politics of the administration get in the way. According to NBC News:

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday continued to rake “60 Minutes” over the coals for its deceptive reporting on the state’s vaccine distribution partnership with Publix, holding a news conference that utterly dismantled CBS News’ false accusations of a “pay to play” scheme between the governor and the grocery store chain. DeSantis held a

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) took the bold step of expanding the definition of infrastructure to an unrecognizable state on Wednesday, as she and other Democrats work hard to sell Americans on President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion “infrastructure” plan that includes a whole lot of non-infrastructure-related initiatives. But social media had a field day with the

I was surprised to read (in The Los Angeles Times) that the Biden administration’s “role model for America” is… California! He wants to “Make America California.” That’s is a terrible idea. Californians now rush to move out of California. Some hopeful folks still move there, but so many more leave that California now loses more

What is the Biden administration? It sounds like a zen spin on politics, but it’s a real question more of us should be asking. Whether a given administration is one we supported or opposed, past ones at least seemed to gear some policy toward generating and maintaining broad coalitions of support. From Biden’s inauguration to

Liberal comedian Samantha Bee admitted recently that she pulls punches when it comes to telling disparaging jokes about Democratic President Joe Biden. What are the details? Bee, the host of TBS’ “Full Frontal,” mocked former President Donald Trump incessantly during his four years in office. But on Tuesday she told left-wing journalist Dan Rather on

Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson went on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Tuesday evening to defend his veto of a bill that would ban sex-change hormone prescriptions or mutilating surgery for minors. During the contentious interview with a confrontational Tucker Carlson on Fox News, the governor attempted to portray his position as principled limited-government conservatism, arguing that

Well would you look at that? Two Hollywood actresses hate Texans’ desire to have safe and fair elections. Both Piper Perabo and Debra Messing are now threatening a boycott of Southwest Airlines if it doesn’t condemn a new bill signed by the state’s senate that would “make it easy to vote, and hard to cheat.”

Earlier this year, Apple required developers to stick a “privacy nutritional label” on any applications they make available for download on the company’s massive App Store for iPhone and iPad. There was just one catch: The label only had to be applied to new or newly updated apps. Google, that great privacy-destroying machine, waited almost

A 1-year-old child is in grave condition after being shot in the head during an apparent road rage incident, according to reports.

Former Olympian turned reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner is reportedly plotting a run for governor of California with the help of Republican operatives, as embattled Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom faces a recall effort. What are the details? Axios reported Tuesday that according to three sources, Jenner, 71, “is talking with political consultants as she actively

It doesn’t take a particularly impressive imagination to predict how the liberal media would cover one of Donald Trump’s sons if he had a major crack and alcohol addiction. Stories would begin with the notion that Trump was a terrible father, obviously too self-absorbed and absent to raise his children right. CNN would certainly strike

Police made a gruesome discovery behind the drywall of a home set on fire by a man who had been accused of abusing his children. The incident unfolded in Phoenix, after police responded to a call from an 11-year-old girl who said she had been abandoned at home for two days and was hungry. Police

Unsurprisingly, two episodes on the reaction to the death of George Floyd weren’t enough for BLM activist filmmaker Ava DuVernay’s Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) drama Queen Sugar. The series following a family of black sugar plantation owners in Louisiana is now on its third straight episode recounting the days following Floyd’s death that, as they

The U.S. Border Patrol has released a heartbreaking video taken by an agent who was approached by an abandoned 10-year-old migrant boy last week in a Texas desert near the U.S.-Mexico border.

Author and columnist Brian Vukadinovich wrote a column at The American Thinker called “Policing American Judges” that is a must-read for anyone interested in preserving rights in American courts.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) has accused his primary rival in the race for governor of treating him “like George Floyd,” for joining calls for Fairfax to resign after allegations of sexual assault surfaced against him.

Republican Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona signed a bill on Tuesday that would ban local governments and employees from enforcing or aiding any infringement on gun rights imposed by the federal government.

On Tuesday, NBC’s This Is Us showed two 13-year-old girls, played by 15-year-old actors, kissing on a bed as a mother walks in on them. This Is Us has been pushing the “L” part of the LGBT agenda for a number of years now, with the prepubescent character Tess (Eris Baker) “coming out” privately to her family at age 10 and

This is your occasional friendly reminder that no, you are not insane. You are not insane to think it’s absurd that Major League Baseball pulled out of Atlanta to protest an election integrity law that is far more permissive than election laws in MLB’s home state, New York, or in Joe Biden’s home state, Delaware. You

CBS News defended its reporting on “60 Minutes” that deceptively edited comments by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to bolster their accusation that he had abused his power to benefit a political donor. After facing public outcry over the controversial segment, CBS released a statement justifying the report. “When Florida state data revealed people of color

A group backed by billionaire political donor Charles Koch is part of a new coalition pushing for the legalization of marijuana at the federal level, after chatting about the issue over Zoom with Snoop Dogg, Politico reported Tuesday.

A reboot of the classic TV series Kung Fu is set to premiere tomorrow, April 7, with a heap of social justice and feminist vomit.  A New York Times piece claims that the reboot “rights the wrongs” from the original version of the series in 1972 (the wrongs being that the lead was a white male).

The Bloomberging of America My friend and colleague Cam Edwards makes his second appearance on the podcast today. Cam is the editor of our sister site Bearing Arms, which means he is the Mothership’s resident expert on all things 2nd Amendment. It’s no secret that the Democrats have a radical anti-gun agenda and that they

A new Utah law requires biological fathers to pay for half of the out-of-pocket costs encountered during a woman’s pregnancy and childbirth, making the state the first in the nation to mandate prenatal child support.

Piers Morgan — until recently a co-host of “Good Morning Britain” — told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Monday that he more or less was forced out of his job after refusing to apologize to Duchess of York Meghan Markle for not believing things she said during an interview with Oprah Winfrey last month. But

Despite being given the task of “speaking” for the Biden administration on the crisis at the border, Kamala Harris hasn’t given a news conference in almost two weeks. On March 24 and 25, ABC, CBS and NBC were all excited for the Vice President’s “important new job” of  trying to “stem the surge of migrants

Every time there’s an act of violence that makes the national news in America, our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters on the left start hyperventilating and praying to the God they don’t believe in that the perpetrator will turn out to be a white guy. They’ve convinced themselves that every bad thing in the world

Major League Baseball has apparently found itself in the exact “tricky” spot reporters and critics predicted the league would end up in after pulling the 2021 All-Star Game out of Georgia in protest of the state’s new voter ID laws. According to a report from the Associated Press, MLB will relocate the All-Star Game to

Self-awareness apparently remains in short supply in some sectors of society. Because Dr. Anthony Fauci and CNN’s Brian Stelter are among the featured speakers at a Politifact event next month titled “United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking.” One might inquire why Fauci and Stelter — both of whom have been accused of not
