NPR editor Uri Berliner claimed that the network ignored The Post's reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop ahead of the 2020 election. Photo Illustration by Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images There’s more than a little bravery in the world of journalism. The reporters who’ve died to bring us news from Israel and Gaza come to mind, but you see that kind of bravery every day. Someone showed a special kind of bravery Tuesday that you rarely if ever see. Twenty-five-year National Public Radio editor Uri Berliner wrote a devastating critique of the newly woke broadcaster’s descent into the fever swamps of identity politics.

Here's a clue he isn't sincere. His time slot for 15 minutes of fame and invites to big podcasts is running out. Woke is slowly dying a death of the awakening of common sense and self preservation. He's another lemming who actually saw the cliff and decided to make some $$$ before he has to jump as well.

The problem with Berliner is that he lived in a leftist bubble and therefore thought leftist views were the norm. Like so many leftists I've known, he probably has no conservative friends, or at most one or two, so he thinks they're outliers (and possibly nuts). He's only noticing NPR's bias because it has gone past traditional liberalism into wing-nut territory, and as a white male, he's no longer in the "in-crowd." My guess is NPR will wait until he's "Uri who???" and they'll make him an offer he can't refuse in a month.

It is no better at PBS, our "taxpayer" owned TV station. In fact, WE THE PEOPLE pay BILLIONS annually to several outlets, news & others, to spread the "dem word". ACLU, AARP, numerous charities, NGOs, are a few others that come to mind. Not to mention the BILLIONs we spend annually for the DOEd & public education - now THERE's an indoctrination system! It all needs to stop. NOW.

Biden wants to follow foolish California

The Labor Department just imposed 300 pages of new regulations to reclassify many individual contractors as payroll employees. CNBC claims this could help freelancers “recover lost wages.” That’s just nonsense. The new rules will make it harder for some freelancers to support a family. It will also make it harder for them to do what they want to do. I know this because I saw what happened in California. Four years ago, unions got Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez to push through a new law that reclassified gig workers. They were told they’d get higher wages, overtime and other benefits. Clueless media liked that. Vox called the law “a big win for workers everywhere.”

Three crucial battleground states have experienced a drop in Democratic voter registration since late 2020 and ahead of a November rematch with former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, election data shows. Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania — which saw some of the closest presidential elections last cycle — all currently have less registered Democratic voters overall than in late 2020, according to the most recent state records. While Democrats still lead Republicans in party registration, the margins in these states are much smaller than before.

Obama’s imprimatur tells us how to comprehend Leave the World Behind. The movie speculates on the end of the world when white advertising executive Clay Sandford (Ethan Hawke), his wife Amanda (Julia Roberts), and their two teenage kids escape Manhattan luxury for a swanky Long Island summer retreat. There, the story develops a political consultant’s test-marketed consensus about the fears of Millennial Americans. The Sandfords react to a cyberattack, plus nature’s revolt, the way pollsters do: Everything is primarily about race.

A group of Westchester County residents is in a frantic fight to keep Donald Trump’s name emblazoned on their luxury high-rise — claiming a rigged condo election could foil their bid, The Post has learned. About two dozen tenants at the 40-story, 194-unit Trump Plaza in New Rochelle want the former president’s name to stay on the building even after his management company got the boot but say anti-Trump members of the condo board are trying to fix the system in their favor. “They promised us that they would be an apolitical board, but they’re not.

We are patriots engaged in a battle of consequence! We are the workforce. We are also digital warriors, meme creators, artists, researchers, autists and ordinarily invisible people now considered dissidents in our own country. We are the backbone of industry, the people who keep it all functioning, the builders, diggers and blue-collar workforce that keeps everything functioning. We are the people they will never fully control. We speak in languages they do not understand, and we absorb targeted ridicule as fuel. We are the movers of goods, the truckers, the farmers, the nameless people behind the skilled trades that keep what they call American society moving.

An attorney for one of the two IRS whistleblowers who alleged a Justice Department cover-up in the tax investigation of Hunter Biden accused Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday of allowing conflicts of interests that have led to alleged retaliation against his clients — and prosecutors aiding the president’s son in criminal cases. In a letter obtained by The Post, Empower Oversight president Tristan Leavitt demanded Garland “put a stop” to any retaliation against the IRS agents and eliminate conflicts of interest related to cases involving the first son. “On issues related to the whistleblowers, Department attorneys and Hunter Biden’s attorneys are simply not adversarial in these cases,” Leavitt said.

The current status of the New York civil fraud case that New York Attorney Letitia James filed against Donald Trump, and that resulted in a huge ruling against him, thanks to Judge Arthur Engoron, is just a little bit of a puzzle. In the short term, Trump is on defense, but the wheels of justice should turn and place him on offense. Understanding that requires us to look at the logic of the law, a subject at once fascinating and exacting and, sometimes, very surprising. The role of logic in law is one of the features of the law that most non-lawyers misunderstand.

The commander of a US Navy warship is apparently a not-so-sharpshooter. A commanding officer of the USS John S. McCain, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, was mocked online after he was photographed holding an assault weapon with its scope mounted backward as he took aim at a target known as a “killer tomato.” Cmdr. Cameron Yaste “observes the live-fire exercise event. The ship is in U.S. 7th Fleet conducting routine operations,” read a caption posted by Defense Visual Information Distribution Service alongside an image of him holding up the weapon with the Trijicon VCOG scope installed backward while pointed at a large target balloon.

Conservative criminal defense attorney and columnist Marina Medvin called it a "devastating Hostage negotiations update" because that's exactly what it is. In the ongoing negotiations between Israel and the Hamas terror organization, Hamas officials now say that "they wouldn’t commit to releasing 40 living hostages but could commit to 40 hostages total, dead or alive." Medvin added, "Israeli military did not comment on estimates of how many hostages may remain alive." "Instead, the militant group has been unable to confirm that it has enough civilian hostages to fulfill its end of the deal in the initial phase of the proposed plan," according to the Wall Street Journal.

Joe Biden's former Chief of Staff and one of his longest-running confidants was caught on a leaked recording ranting against the president's current communications strategy. It represented the latest sign that Democrats are panicking over the prospect of Donald Trump emerging victorious after November's election. Ronald Klain, who served as Chief of Staff for both Biden's vice presidency and presidency, was unknowingly recorded at a private event in which he launched into an obscenity-filled critique of the current president. Specifically, he claimed that Biden was too focused on mundane "accomplishments" and not on what Americans actually care about.

Disney is arguing it had a First Amendment right to fire 'Mandalorian' actress Gina Carano after she posted tweets that were out-of-step with the trans-rights movement, and an image the company claims was controversial as it pertained to the Holocaust. Carano sued the House of Mouse in February claiming the company broke the law then it retaliated against her for expressing personal political beliefs. Attorneys for the mega-entertainment brand filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss the suit, arguing the company has a 'constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano's speech.'
