Tucker’s Interview With Obama Accuser Follows The Media’s Standard For Covering Sex Scandals

Published

on

On his X show this week, Tucker Carlson interviewed Larry Sinclair, a man who claims to have smoked crack and slept with Barack Obama in 1995. I found the entire thing tawdry and ugly —and not only because I think the guy is full of crap.

Some right-wing social media personalities find an aversion to information warfare a sign of weakness. There are plenty of solid reasons not to join a mob recklessly accusing a politician — or anyone, for that matter — of smoking crack and cheating on his wife that have absolutely nothing to do with politics or winning the approval of liberals. One is basic decency.  

But, yes, the left did not show the same civility in the past. And it’s laughable for journalists to complain about Tucker’s interview. There’s little ethical difference between the coverage of the alleged sexual assault claims against Brett Kavanaugh and Carlson interviewing Sinclair — other than one of those two stories had serious political consequences and involved meritless accusations of odious criminal behavior.

And, hey, Tucker’s not coming to any conclusions about Sinclair’s allegations. He’s merely reporting on them. He’s just asking questions.

Yes, Sinclair has a long history of legal trouble. But that’s not the only gauge of credibility, nor is it necessarily dispositive. Unlike Sinclair, Christine Blasey Ford would not even offer a place or time for the alleged assault. Not one witness corroborated her story — not even her longtime close friend or any of her 70-something

Ladies, You Don’t Have To Vote For Kamala Harris

Published

on

Abortion is the only reason Harris has given women to vote for her — and it’s not enough.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has given women many reasons to vote for him. This week, for instance, while Kamala Harris was offering pithy and empty condolences to the families of women murdered by illegal immigrants, Donald Trump dedicated an hour to addressing female voters’ concerns.

At a Georgia town hall on Wednesday, Trump tackled questions from an exclusively female audience, addressing their worries about everything from the dangers of illegal immigration to the high cost of food and child care to women’s safety. When one woman asked how quickly Trump could remove the threats that arise in sanctuary cities so women and children could live free of fear, for instance, Trump replied, “We are going to end all sanctuary cities immediately.” 

He also offered more details about how he would be women’s “protector.” As he stated in a speech last month in Pennsylvania: “You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. … You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today.”

Trump’s reassurances should be music to women’s ears as they struggle with the devastating effects of the Biden-Harris administration. 

The Effects of Biden and Harris 

For starters, the Biden-Harris administration rewrote Title IX, allowing men to compete in women’s sports and permitting them to infiltrate women’s-only spaces.

This administration’s open border policies have also led to avoidable

Drones Are Swarming U.S. Military Bases, And Our Incompetent Bureaucracy Won’t Do Anything About It

Published

on

If you had told President Dwight D. Eisenhower that the military-industrial complex he famously warned against would find itself repeatedly foiled by an off-the-shelf product available at the grocery store, he probably would not have believed you.

The Oct. 12 story published in The Wall Street Journal, about how mysterious drones over Langley Air Force Base have baffled the best of America’s military and homeland security apparatus, is clearly not intended to leave you with this impression, yet it does. 

The Journal article was likely intended as yet another entry in the now-extensive subgenre of Pentagon reporting that might be called, “What are we going to do about the UFOs?”

In these stories, which seem to regularly appear several times a year (possibly timed with congressional appropriations), military and intelligence officials either publicly or anonymously complain to their regular Pentagon beat journalists about how they are stumped by the mysterious lights in the sky. In 2022, the Pentagon set up the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to better collect and analyze reports of these UFO sightings. Before AARO was the wordier Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG), set up in 2021. Congress has had multiple UFO hearings, ranging from fairly serious investigations into the likely role of Russian and Chinese drones surveilling U.S. national security sites to “X Files”-style hearings with whistleblowers claiming the U.S. has recovered alien corpses — or, as they phrase it, “biologics.”

The Wall Street Journal piece attempted to emphasize how serious the deployment

Report: Left-Wing Dark Money Floods Nevada To Enshrine Abortion, Ranked-Choice Voting Into Law

Published

on

Left-wing dark money is being dumped into Nevada to enshrine abortion and ranked-choice voting into the state’s constitution, according to a new report.

The revelation was disclosed in third-quarter campaign finance data reported by The Nevada Independent on Friday. The analysis shows large swaths of cash being poured into organizations seeking to sway voters into passing these proposals appearing on the Silver State ballot this November.

As my colleague Jordan Boyd previously reported, “Abortion in Nevada is currently permitted at any point in gestation as long as ‘the physician has reasonable cause to believe an abortion is necessary to preserve the life or health of the pregnant person.’” The proposal known as Question 6, however, seeks to enshrine unlimited unborn baby-killing in the state constitution by creating a “fundamental right to an abortion.”

Campaign finance data reported by The Nevada Independent shows Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom — the political action committee behind the extreme initiative — raised roughly $6.6 million last quarter in support of the measure’s passage. The outlet disclosed how some of the group’s biggest donations came from prominent left-wing dark money organizations such as Advocacy Action Fund ($2 million) and the Tides Foundation ($312,500).

According to the nonprofit research database GuideStar, Advocacy Action Fund “focuses on grantmaking” for so-called “social welfare” initiatives, especially those with an “environmental” or pro-abortion purpose. The Tides Foundation similarly acts as a prominent donor that doles out grants to left-wing nonprofits and causes.

The data showed Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom also received $1 million
