Associated Press media reporter David Bauder found a fascinating nugget in an otherwise predictable lecture on media ethics from former Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron. He gave the keynote address of the Peter F. Collier Awards for Ethics in Journalism at New York University. (This is not the Peter Collier who wrote books with David Horowitz.)  Alongside the usual lectures about the awfulness of Trump, there was a single note about how the press failed in reporting on Biden’s cognitive decline:  Each of us probably can point to other instances where we went astray. Here’s one to think about: Did…

Another weekend in the Gulf, and another frenetic series of events has brought the region to the brink yet again. It’s not the first time we’ve reached a crisis crescendo in the seven-week-old Operation Epic Fury, and it probably will not be the last. President Donald Trump indicated two weeks ago that the long-promised, civilization-ending strike was not only on the table, but imminent. That abated a bit when the two-week ceasefire went into effect, but American and Israeli military resources have rapidly been recalibrating to deliver that blow if the ceasefire ends on Wednesday without a signed deal. On Friday,…

[embedded content] In a recent interview on MSNOW, Democrat Rep. Greg Stanton claimed that Republicans are somehow “disengaged” from young voters and that conservative values lack appeal among Gen Z. The argument does not hold up under even basic scrutiny, especially after what unfolded in the 2024 election. The data and the momentum both point in the opposite direction. In the 2024 race between President Donald Trump and Democrats, younger voters moved toward Republicans in numbers that would have been unthinkable just a few election cycles ago. That shift was the result of a sustained effort to engage younger audiences…

President Trump and John Eastman (Credit: White House) If a few had been deluded into believing that America had moved past its lawfare era, that belief should have been shattered with last week’s news that California’s Supreme Court, the highest tribunal in the state, upheld John Eastman’s disbarment. The Eastman story is a travesty of justice, made worse by the fact that his egregious situation is not a one-off, but follows a series of Trump-supporting attorneys, including Rudy Giuliani, Jeff Clark, and Ed Martin, who have been punished by bar associations nationwide simply for representing their client, Donald J.
