Scott Pelley is the pompous windbag of 60 Minutes. Ted Knight played a character like Pelley for laughs in days of old on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Pelley amped up the character and drained it of humor. He is beyond satire. An insufferable fool, he plays himself seriously. But he’s worse than that. Jonthan Leaf explains why in the Washington Free Beacon column “Scott Pelley isn’t a serious journalist.” Leaf focuses on one fraudulent story retailed by Pelley on which Leaf himself has become an expert based on his own work. It takes a little patience with the details. On my point, however, Leaf puts it this way:

What is treason? The basic definition is easy enough: giving aid and comfort to the enemy. But what does that really mean, in practice? It can mean a government employee or a friend of a government employee, spying on our government officials and reporting back to his foreign masters, as so many people have been caught doing in recent years, such as Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) driver, Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) girlfriend, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) deputy chief diversity officer. Such stories make the news, more often than one would expect, but there’s an even bigger kind of treason out there, and this one takes place through normal-looking

The Bank of England has decided that Winston Churchill, Alan Turing, and Jane Austen are too controversial to appear on British banknotes. So they're replacing them with frogs. I’m not kidding. Frogs. And foxes. And dolphins. And puffins. The Bank announced it would phase out portraits of historical figures in favor of native wildlife imagery on its next banknote series. The official explanation was “security,” but we all know better than to believe that. Writing in The Telegraph earlier this week, Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, said: "The Bank's foremost objective is the security of our banknotes, which includes tackling the threat from counterfeiting."

The American medical establishment spent years insisting that puberty blockers were safe and reversible, that gender transition saved young lives, and that anyone who questioned the science was a bigot. A new peer-reviewed paper suggests the “science” used to justify the barbaric procedures was the problem all along. According to a report from Just the News, a critical review published May 30, 2026, in the European Journal of Developmental Psychology concluded that "three decades of 'Dutch Protocol' research has not produced reliable evidence." The Dutch Protocol is the foundational framework for medically transitioning kids suffering from gender confusion. Clinicians in the Netherlands,

The jury that acquitted OJ Simpson in the 1995 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman had nine members who were black. That is all that one needs to know about the case to infer the verdict. The prosecutor’s argument and evidence, including the bloody glove, were beside the point. The verdict was preordained the moment that the jury was chosen. It says a lot about our jury system, but it says even more about a society in which blacks view justice through a racial lens. I experienced it firsthand when I sat on a jury determining the guilt of a black former felon who was standing trial for

The attempt to bridge the differences between religions in order to make religion generic has been an ongoing obsession of religious reformers that have a progressive bent of mind. Such a one-size-fits-all type of religion has found its way into many churches, reaching even the Vatican, where it has caused confusion, disorder, and disunity among Catholics. I think this tells us all we need to know about “progressive” church reform: it is a way to ruin churches, not improve them. There is no limit to the degradation that comes from the call from liberals for “inclusion,” hypocritically joined with the exclusion of Christians that follow the Gospel. It gives faithful Christians

Disgraced former FBI director James Comey has been indicted for posting “86 47.” The DoJ has also opened an investigation of E. Jean Carroll for lying under oath about the financial backing for her lawsuit against Donald Trump. Has the DoJ implemented Rudy Giuliani’s “broken window” strategy, or is it something much bigger? The radicals are reacting predictably. They’ve stopped screaming, “No one is above the law.” Now they’re behaving as though their anthill just got kicked. The lefties are howling that Trump is wasting federal resources on personal vendettas — while hoping we don’t remember Merrick Garland and Jack Smith. In spite of their protestations,

This past primary election saw a continued and deepening rift between Republicans and Democrats, those who believe in America and those who ardently do not. The campaigns are no longer about methods for achieving the same goals. The goals are vastly different. There is nothing they agree on. The Democrat Party has no policies they want to bring forward lest they show their hand, losing every election for the foreseeable future. Their candidates, increasingly, are looking more like street thug Bolsheviks than educated loyal Americans. They're communists and don't hide it. At the present there are 31 Democrats running for either a House seat or a Senate seat in November.

Che Guevara (1928–67) occupies a special place in the pantheon of modern icons. Nobody quite embodies the chasm between romantic myth and historical reality as he does. His image—etched in Alberto Korda’s Guerrillero Heroico, with its windswept hair and resolute gaze—adorns T-shirts across Western campuses, universities, and protest marches. To rebellious but historically ignorant teenagers and activists, he represents the archetypal “freedom fighter”: a selfless doctor who abandoned privilege to champion the oppressed against imperialism. This perspective, steeped in adolescent idealism, casts Guevara as a symbol of anti-establishment defiance and social justice. Yet this entire cult is a symptom of a broader anti-Western ideology that has metastasized

It amazes me how easily we are gaslit about voter fraud. Or should I say, how easily Democrats are gaslit about voter fraud, since by now most Republicans are cynical enough to expect it. I was struck on Tuesday night by how many Republicans confidently predicted that Spencer Pratt's seemingly insurmountable lead over Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayor's primary would evaporate as the votes were dumped in batches over the ensuing weeks, and their cynicism, it seems, will be rewarded. California doesn't have election days. It has election weeks that begin well before election day and extend well after election night. It will turn out, remarkably, that

On the whole, it’s been a good week. It’s not every week that serves up the kind of supreme schadenfreudey goodness that comes from the firing of the pompous CBS News blowhard Scott Pelley, with more to follow. Less noticed was that NPR laid off most of its climate change reporters this week, too. If NPR is giving up on the climate crusade, it is well and truly over. The strong showing of Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt (fingers crossed about those “late” votes) is also cheering, though it will still be an uphill fight to November. England continues to spiral down the drain, but after their George Floyd-in-reverse moment,

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman is roughly one percentage point away from leapfrogging Republican candidate Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race with 78% of votes counted. After slowly gaining on Pratt for several days, Raman, a Democrat, is still sitting in third with 26.21% of the vote, Saturday night’s latest election numbers show.

Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden gave an update on former President Joe Biden’s cancer on Saturday, saying that though the 83-year-old will live with cancer for the rest of his life, he maintains a busy schedule, but has slowed down. Biden explained during a discussion with political commentator and “The View” co-host Ana Navarro for her new book “View From the East Wing: A Memoir,” that while her husband was still president and had a team of doctors, she mentioned that he was getting up seven times a night to go to the bathroom, and she assumed that someone would follow up on that.

Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman has overtaken former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt for the second spot in the Los Angeles mayoral runoff, according to updated vote totals released Sunday by the LA County Registrar-Recorder. Raman, a progressive Democrat representing the city’s 4th Council District, now holds 27.12% of the counted ballots. Pratt, a registered Republican who ran on a law-and-order platform, sits at 26.69%. The gap stands at 3,113 votes. Decision Desk HQ projected Sunday that Raman had secured the second of two spots in the nonpartisan primary, which advances the top two finishers to the November 3 general election regardless of party.

President Trump delivered one of the moments of his presidency as his interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker neared its conclusion. The “Meet the Press” host traveled to Wisconsin to interview Trump on a variety of topics, including the war with Iran, gas prices, and the “anti-weaponization” fund. Toward the end, Trump absolutely went off on the corrupt state of American elections, especially in California. Welker tried desperately to interrupt. But Trump would not let go.

Spencer Pratt’s once-comfortable lead in the Los Angeles mayoral primary has been slashed yet again — as a fresh batch of ballots delivered another major boost to progressive City Councilmember Nithya Raman in their race to the November runoff. New results released Saturday show Pratt’s advantage over Raman shrinking to just 7,494 votes, down from more than 20,000 a day earlier. Roughly 78% of the ballots had been counted as of Saturday. Raman picked up 23,514 votes in the latest count, more than double Pratt’s gain of 10,336. Her share of the vote jumped from 24.9% to 26.2%, while Pratt slipped from 28.2% to 27.3%.

Donald Trump slammed Barack Obama's new $850 million presidential library, with a photoshopped prediction that it would be surrounded by homeless camps within ten years. A 'giant trash can' is just one of the unflattering comparisons the new center has been called ahead of its opening on the South Side of Chicago on June 19. And Trump weighed in by posting a photo of the library with a garbage bag on top and homeless encampments surrounding it to Truth Social on Saturday. Trump wrote over the AI-generated image: 'The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!'

McDonald's customers could soon find themselves placing orders with an AI system. The chain is currently piloting an AI-powered drive-thru ordering platform called ArchIQ at five US locations. The effort falls under a broader brand initiative known as McDonald's Next, which was unveiled earlier this week. At the launch, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski stated that customers shouldn't have to choose between "hospitality or speed,” per Fox Business. An X account representing a McDonald's franchisee indicated that Google is involved in the project.

Election Integrity

Last Thursday, even as California’s chaotic primaries demonstrated the need for a nationwide election integrity law, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) voted to kill the SAVE America Act. This would be understandable if the bill were unpopular with the electorate. But its requirement that voters in every state must provide proof of citizenship before registering to vote and produce a photo ID when casting a ballot are wildly popular among Republicans and Democrats. Yet, because its passage is one of President Trump’s top priorities, TDS forced them to ignore his agenda.

Israel conducted strikes on military targets in western and central Iran early Monday local time, the Israeli military announced, escalating a conflict that had already broken through the ceasefire just hours earlier when Iran fired multiple waves of missiles at Israel on Sunday. The strikes came despite a direct phone call from President Trump to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him not to retaliate immediately for the Iranian missile attack. A senior U.S. official told the Associated Press, on condition of anonymity to describe a private call, that Trump believed he had convinced Netanyahu to wait. Israel struck anyway.
