MACDONALD: Eric Swalwell, Not So Well

4 hours 57 min ago

Eric Swallwell is a partisan douchebag. I don’t even need to produce receipts for anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention. Whatever hyperbolic left-wing bullshit is on the menu, he is one of the first ones out of the kitchen to serve it. But that’s not why people who hold care even know who ... Read more

CARDELLO: Michelle Obama Says the Country is Not Ready for a Female President

Mon, 2026-04-06 14:00 +0000

I do not put much stock in the inner thoughts of Michelle Obama because I do not think she is qualified to make such a broad sweeping statement. I believe the country is more than ready for a female chief executive, just not her. Folks on the Left talk like Mrs. Obama is destined to ... Read more

CARDELLO: Is Media Misinformation Un-American or Treasonous

Mon, 2026-04-06 02:00 +0000

When you watch your favorite news source or listen to the radio or podcasts, you know you are getting either a news or an opinion interpretation of the subject, and they can be very different.

Governmental bodies, flush with other people’s cash, bonded staff, and large insurance policies, especially ... Read more
