As the left now offers condolences for the death of Colin Powell -- as they should -- it's clarifying to recall what the left was saying about him before he began openly voting Democrat.Back in 2002, when the Bush administration was leading the country, Powell received what today is a common racial epithet the left uses towards minorities on the right. That year, famed calypso singer Harry Belafonte called Powell a “house slave.” During an interview with a San Diego-based radio show, Belafonte slammed Powell
As news broke Monday morning of the passing of former Secretary of State and Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell, on NBC’s Today show, correspondent Andrea Mitchell jumped at the chance to exploit his death to bash Republicans. However, in her ghoulish rush to do so, she got her facts wrong when she falsely claimed he was “booed” at the 2000 GOP National Convention.“I was on the floor of the convention in 2000 in Philadelphia when Republicans booed him,” Mitchell proclaimed while calling in to the morning show to share her thoughts on Powell.

David Price (N.C.) and Mike Doyle (Pa.), announced Monday that they won't seek reelection next year.The two retirements come after House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) also announced last week that he won't seek reelection.Price and Doyle, as well as Yarmuth, represent safe Democratic seats that aren't expected at this point to be competitive in next year's midterm elections. But the retirement announcements come as Democrats are struggling to enact their domestic legislative agenda

A student at an $80,000-a-year ultra-liberal Oberlin College in Ohio claimed in an op-ed that he was left ‘angry, scared, and confused’ because ‘cisgender men’ installed a radiator in his ‘safe space’ dormitory.Peter Fray-Witzer, a student enrolled at Oberlin College, posted an article in Friday's edition of The Oberlin Review in which he takes school administrators to task for giving him short notice about the installation.Fray-Witzer writes that he asked a campus official if he could be exempt from having a radiator installed in his room
George Soros gave $659k to the Loudoun County prosecutor who is trying to jail the father whose daughter was raped by a man wearing a skirt thanks to the transgender bathroom policy.A Soros-backed prosecutor in Virginia pushed to have the father of a teenager who was allegedly raped by a gender-fluid student jailed on two misdemeanor charges and then defended her decision to send the attacker to another school where he assaulted another student.

China’s been making some very bold moves as of late and there’s little doubt that it has to do with President Joe Biden’s milquetoast position when it comes to dealing with the communist nation. It’s a take that former Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates thinks Biden is getting very wrong, and something that Trump got very right.Gates appeared on CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interview with Anderson Cooper where he had nice things to say about Biden’s “integrity” but didn’t softball it about the president’s foreign policy decisions, especially on China.“I think he’s gotten a lot wrong,” Gates said, making it clear he wasn’t just talking about

Nearly a year has passed since the 2020 election, yet there has not been a clear, satisfactory answer to the central mystery: How did a dull, declining Joe Biden manage to get more than 81 million votes and win the presidency? After all, Biden spent most of the pandemic-laced campaign in his Delaware basement and his appearances were marked by sparse crowds and signs he had lost more than a step. Yet he flipped five states Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, including Georgia and Arizona, and racked up 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232.

As time has gone on, you have become a polarizing figure, and critics accuse you of sending mixed messages. There’s allegations that you helped fund dangerous research at the Wuhan lab.

The Art Institute of Chicago fired all of its roughly 100 volunteer museum guides, or docents, in September because too many of them were wealthy, white women. The news of the mass firing has only trickled out slowly, partly because the institute asked docents not to speak to the media, and because the left-leaning Chicago media showed little interest in covering the issue.(Snip)Ironically, the Journal was able to speak to one of the fired docents, who happened to be black, and defied the museum’s request that no one speak directly to the media—perhaps because she had less fear of being accused of racism.
