Bill's Message of the Day

My Visit to Harvard's Kennedy School

2026-03-06T15:45:00Z

On Thursday of this week, I addressed some students at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government about the inner workings of the Trump administration. These aren’t kids, but candidates for Master's Degrees in public service.

The questions they asked were sharp and focused mostly on why President Trump does what he does. No gotcha stuff or ideological virtue seeking.

What a relief.

About 40 percent of the students at the Kennedy School are foreign nationals who will return to their countries to seek government jobs. A Harvard degree is still held in high regard around the world, even as the University has been branded left in the USA.

That is Harvard’s own fault, as its hiring practices have been exclusionary; certainly not a good thing when it comes to education.

I saw none of that in my presentation. Yes, I’m sure some ideological students couldn’t be bothered gathering important information, but the young people I encountered listened closely and did not act out.

All in all, a positive experience for your humble correspondent, and I hope for the students. Sincere opinions are important. Fact-based knowledge even more so.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Iran Dissent

2026-03-05T08:00:00Z

Last night on NewsNation, Chris Cuomo, Stephen A. Smith, and I discussed the military action in Iran. I showed up with many facts showing the corporate media was skewing its coverage negatively. ABC’s World News Tonight has been particularly unfair.

This is nothing new, as the hate Trump movement is in full flower. Cuomo pointed out that millions of Americans simply do not trust the President and therefore will not support his policies, no matter what.

That’s accurate but foolish. Iran is a dangerous country, and diminishing it is sound strategy unless the military situation gets out of control, as we saw in Iraq. These puerile media “gotcha” games played out by an ideological press harm America.

I believe I won the debate. Americans certainly should dissent from policies they believe are destructive. But do it based on reality, not kool-aid-driven politics.

Is that too much to ask? Apparently, for many, it is. And that’s the truth.

Iran Coverage

2026-03-04T08:44:00Z

Pundits are running out of things to say about Iran, so now it’s blather gone wild. The story is unpredictable and largely unreportable because journalists are banned from actually going to that country. No way in, no protection from the murderous Quds force if somehow you manage to show up.

Therefore, the lazy “we’ll see” TV people have zilch to analyze. Yes, some Americans object to the action, but what else is new? The Trump haters have staked out their predictable territory, as have some far-right isolationists.

It is worth noting that Europe is wishy-washy (love that cliche) about the situation because our friends over there have equivocated since Napoleon was banished. Aggressive Germany was the exception, but after the Nazis and Stalin, it’s a completely different mindset in Deutschland.

It is also interesting that if Kamala Harris had been elected president, the Biden do nothing status quo would be in play, much to the delight of evil doers everywhere.

At this point, your humble correspondent does not know how Iran will turn out. Can’t predict it.

But I will never say “we’ll see” in my analysis.

However, we’ll see you this evening for the No Spin News.

Democrats' Iran Stance

2026-03-03T17:15:00Z

It was a bit shocking to hear Kamala Harris urging Americans to oppose the military action against Iran. As Vice President, she watched as the Biden administration appeased the Mullahs and helped finance Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis by unfreezing Iranian money during “negotiations” to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

The Biden policy failed dismally and led to the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which disrupted the Middle East. The subsequent war against Hamas by Israel resulted in massive death in Gaza.

So you might think Ms. Harris might be a bit circumspect when it comes to Iran. But like the Biden open border debacle, Kamala Harris sees no evil.

Former Secretary of State John Kerry also failed to stop Iran’s nuclear quest. He carried out President Obama’s appeasement policy. At least Kerry is not undermining the U.S. military campaign as Harris is. Not yet, anyway.

You don’t have to be a war monger to understand that the fanatical leadership in Iran was never going to cease its terror activities. Therefore, a choice had to be made: let them continue to kill innocent people. Or stop them.

Right, Kamala?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Situation in Iran

2026-03-02T08:48:00Z

Very difficult to get specific military information out of Iran or Washington at this point. It looks like the U.S. and Israel are downgrading Iran’s weapons capabilities as well as targeting the theocratic leadership for death.

The Mossad, Israel’s CIA, pinpointed the Ayatollah for destruction along with some other militants. Few will mourn them.

Iran is now in chaos, and there should be a capitulation shortly. After that, there is likely to be a power struggle in Tehran to see who will preside over the new government. It doesn’t really matter; the Trump administration will be calling all the important shots as it does in Venezuela.

A sidebar story is the desperation on the part of the anti-Trump movement, which is flailing around trying to spin the situation negative. Obviously, the demise of a terror state is good for the world, so the naysayers have a tough lift here. But they’ll try.

It is somewhat shocking that some radicals in the USA are actually rooting for Iran! But clear-thinking Americans understand that terror killers should have no quarter.

However, President Trump has to be cautious. The Jihadists are not defeated, even with Iran going down. The USA remains vulnerable to terror attacks. Having refreshed himself at the Olympics, FBI director Kash Patel enters a very intense landscape.

Like Saddam Hussein, the USA has destroyed another heinous villain. So we march on as a noble people. In a dangerous world, we have no other choice.

See you this evening for an important No Spin News.

Farewell to the Sunshine Boys

2026-02-27T15:59:00Z

A new poll says just 27 percent of New Yorkers believe Senator Charles Schumer is doing a good job in office. The rest know the truth; Schumer lives in a far-left bubble and has repudiated most common-sense problem-solving.

In fact, Chuck IS the problem. His latest nonsensical take is that voter IDs are racist. Hey, Senator, every single European country has voter ID laws. Are they all training for Third Reich status?

At 75 years of age, the Chuckster is long past his prime. He’s always been a machine politician, but now the warranty has run out. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is warming up to challenge Schumer, and there’s little doubt she’d “wup” him, as Mohammed Ali once said.

With Senator Mitch McConnell finally bailing out, Schumer should take the same path. Senior citizens can provide great wisdom to America, but these two badly need a long rest. It’s a new world with AI and technology run amuck. Chuck and Mitch still wear suspenders.

So, say farewell to the Sunshine Boys. The sunset is right over there. The early bird special awaits. There are worse things.

Enjoy the weekend. Sunday column is on the return of The Factor!

Migrant Crime

2026-02-26T08:47:00Z

Crime is back! Undocumented migrant crime. President Trump made a huge deal about it in his address on Tuesday. The Dem response was an oldie: migrants commit crimes at a lower rate than US citizens.

So what? Even if the claim is true, which it isn’t, why would any country accept criminal activity from foreign nationals who have no legal right to be in a nation? That’s crazy.

In the USA, the migrant crime stat is taken from Texas data, not FBI national statistics. Also, at least 11 states do not report migrant crimes under Sanctuary policies.

Here’s the most vivid example I can give you. The drug trafficking in San Francisco, an enormous problem, is controlled by Honduran illegal aliens. Not only does the city fail to prosecute most dealers, who operate openly, the state of California will not cooperate with federal law enforcement to arrest the Honduran pushers.

Talk about a get out of jail free card.

Same thing happened in Minnesota with the Somali thieves. No state cooperation or even investigation into the billion-dollar fraud exposed by a freelance journalist.

So, Democrats, please spare us the propaganda about migrant criminals. It’s insulting.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Alleged Cover-Up

2026-02-25T08:00:00Z

We are using caution about this NPR report that infers the Justice Department is covering up the Epstein story allegations against President Trump. The story is foggy to say the least.

The gist of it seems to be that the FBI interviewed a woman who says the President molested her at age 13. The first interview is on the record, and the accuser apparently makes no mention of Mr. Trump. The subsequent interviews are being withheld by the Justice Department.

In addition, the woman sued the Epstein estate and settled for money. No mention of Trump in that suit.

The people reporting the alleged cover-up all have an anti-Trump bias. In addition, the Biden Justice Department had the FBI reports and kept them classified. If the alleged victim had any credibility, surely the Biden people would have gone public.

So, skepticism should be in play here. It is absolutely wrong and extremely damaging to the country to make public dubious allegations. Trial by mob absolutely must be avoided.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Newsom Under Fire

2026-02-24T08:00:00Z

California Governor Gavin Newsom has a book out, so he’s running around giving interviews, trying to market it. For a guy like Newsom who has enemies, this is not an easy thing.

Speaking to a Black interviewer in Atlanta, Newsom tried to make the point that he was no genius as a kid. He pointed to his low SAT scores, saying they indicate that he is “just like you.”

Uh-oh.

Because the show host is Black, the Governor was immediately accused of being “racist,” a cheap insult usually made against conservative people. The R word is often used to demonize its target, perhaps cancel the person.

Obviously, the ultra-liberal Newsom does not want to insult Black Americans. His intent was to portray himself as a regular guy who eventually made it.

Doesn’t matter. Newsom was pounded.

There are far better ways to dissent from the Governor’s agenda than to tag him with a dishonest label. His record in California is certainly up for scrutiny.

But peddling hate is much easier than honest analysis. As Gavin Newsom has learned the hard way.

Nationalism

2026-02-23T08:50:00Z

Most everyone I know was uplifted by the U.S. hockey team’s Olympic Gold medal run. Not only was the team skilled on the ice, but it conducted itself with dignity and patriotism after the win.

To be sure, there will be Americans who raise the “nationalism” topic to counter the victory. These are people who don’t much like the United States, believing it is not a noble country.

Unfortunately, there are millions of those folks.

Nationalism is defined as “an ideology emphasizing intense loyalty to one’s nation.” And it can be both positive as well as negative. We all know what happened after the National Socialist Party took over in Germany. The Nazis sold the lethal “master race” concept, and many Germans bought it.

However, pride in America is a very positive attribute, and the hockey team displayed it. No Colin Kaepernick or Stefon Diggs in sight. The American values of hard work, teamwork, and perseverance made the difference. That is worthy of celebration.

Finally, I wasn’t happy that Canada lost. Those guys played great. I want detente between our two governments. Canada should be our closest ally.

So, a tip of the hat to both teams. They made us proud. All Americans should understand why.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Alien Talk

2026-02-20T16:48:00Z

Both Presidents Obama and Trump addressed alien life this week. We’re not talking migrants here; we are discussing outer space creatures. The former presidents deny knowing anything specific about extra-terrestrials, so apparently neither has visited Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Millions of people around the world believe that visitors from various solar systems vacation on Earth. If you’ve been to Key West, there’s your proof right there, but you’d never know it. The United States leads the league in spending tax money to keep alien intrusions secret.

That’s wrong. The people have a right to know if ET and his pals have purchased time-shares.

If I’m an alien, I’m heading for Minneapolis ASAP. Minnesota nice. Socialism on the march. Governor Walz will embrace the new visitors who can then set up shop and steal billions of taxpayer dollars. As Jackie Gleason once said: “How sweet it is.”

Finally, one of my favorite alien movies is the original “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” Some dastardly outer space presence puts down pods that hatch human-looking creatures. I believe the premise is true.

It may be classified, but Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Anderson Cooper, David Muir, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are definitely pod people. They all have that faraway stare that seems to say: I wonder what my friends on Venus are doing?”

So if you see those folks, do not be lured by talk of a “podcast.” No, these are hardcore aliens under orders to disrupt our planet.

I’ve alerted ICE.

Enjoy the weekend.

Trump vs. the AP

2026-02-19T08:23:00Z

Fresh off its failure to identify the mass killers in British Columbia and Rhode Island as “trans” people, the Associated Press has put out a hit piece on President Trump for honoring Black History Month at the White House.

It’s really hard to believe how ideological the AP has become. Its original mission was to report fact-based stories so Americans of all political persuasions could understand important situations.

Today, the Associated Press is a far-left enterprise in business to advance ideology, not knowledge.

The Black History thing is a perfect example. Instead of reporting what took place at the ceremony, the AP tries to weave a tale of hypocrisy. It concentrates on the racist media post about the Obamas as well as President Trump’s scorn for “inclusion.”

The news agency is implying that Mr. Trump has no right to participate in Black History Month because his beliefs don’t line up with the AP’s liberal view of the world.

You may remember that about this time last year, the AP was banished from the White House because of slanted reporting. That ban remains even though the agency has sued.

But the larger problem is that the nation’s largest news-gathering operation is unfair and deceitful. And that is a fact.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

USA vs. Canada

2026-02-18T08:12:00Z

Tomorrow, the U.S. women’s ice hockey team plays Canada for the Olympic Gold Medal. The American ladies are a better team and most likely will prevail.

The rivalry, however, is partially political as it will be in the men’s final, probably featuring the same two countries. The USA and Canada are far apart culturally, and it’s downright strange.

Canada has evolved into a secular country that has accepted “woke.” Not every province; the ones in the west are more conservative, but the big cities certainly lean left. You couldn’t elect a guy like Justin Trudeau if that were not the case.

President Trump believes Canada has taken advantage of the U.S. in trade as well as defense, and there is some truth to that. Relations between them and us are at an all-time low. In fact, Canadian travel to the States is down 25 percent.

That’s not good, eh.

A post shared by Bill O'Reilly (@billoreilly)

Mr. Trump would like hockey legend Wayne Gretzky to be Prime Minister, and I would support that. But it will never happen, mainly because Mr. Gretzky is too smart to enter the political arena. Pucks, sure. Schmucks, no.

I always have a great time when I visit Canada. Cabot Trail next. The frost between our two countries will melt, I predict.

But not until the Olympics are over.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Homeless Problem

2026-02-17T08:05:00Z

Barack Obama and Gavin Newsom are sympatico on the homeless problem: the government owes street people safe dwellings.

In order to achieve that, California has spent approximately 30 billion dollars over the past five years to house people. It has not worked. Around 200,000 individuals remain on the streets, almost all of them substance abusers or mentally ill, often both.

While in San Francisco over Super Bowl weekend, I found out exactly what’s going on by talking to the addicts themselves. Often, state housing is too dangerous for destitute folks to even consider. There is no drug testing to get a place, little security in the buildings, and that allows violent pushers to run the facilities.

A California audit reached this conclusion: there is no reliable data to track expenditures on free housing.

Politicians almost always exaggerate reality, especially when policies fail. Governor Newsom says homelessness in California is down 9 percent. But how would he know? The situation is chaotic. People go where the drugs are. And there is no shortage of narcotics on the streets of San Francisco, I can tell you that.

30 billion dollars is a colossal amount of taxpayer money. Most of that has been stolen or wasted because of a lack of state supervision. You can howl at the moon all night about homelessness. But nothing good will happen if there’s no accountability.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Seven-Month Push

2026-02-16T08:03:00Z

President Trump has just about seven months to convince voters that the Republican Party should retain power. As you’ve heard, incumbent presidents often get hammered in midterm elections for failure to meet expectations.

Despite media opposition, Mr. Trump’s policies may give the GOP strong arguments. Here are some bullet points.

- Inflation and unemployment are under control, the spending and trade deficits are shrinking. Excellent outcome for one year in office.

- Gas prices at the pump are down significantly, but home utilities are not. The brutal cold in the northeast will hurt consumers.

- Food prices are mixed. If you buy at premium places like Whole Foods, you’ll get hurt. If you go to big discount stores like Costco, your budget will be easier to achieve.

- Insurance costs are painful. Big problem for Republicans.

- The border is secured, but ICE has a public relations problem. This can be fixed with more information about migrant detentions. That needs to happen soon.

- The Venezuela intervention was a success. Next up Iran. Putin is in trouble with his own people. But Americans don’t vote on foreign policy.

However, the GOP does have an unreported advantage: the radicalization of the Democratic Party.

In 1999, just 5 percent of Dems said “very liberal”, according to polling. Today, that number has risen to 21 percent.

In addition, a Washington Post poll says 54 percent of Americans say the Democratic Party is “too liberal.”

Advantage, President Trump. But he has to build on it.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Far-Left Mayors

2026-02-13T08:15:00Z

Mayors Frey of Minneapolis and Mamdani of New York City met on Thursday. Apparently, they have a lot in common, as urban socialism has some momentum in the U.S.A. Along with that comes a rise in social disorder.

Frey, of course, ordered his police not to provide protection for both ICE agents and protesters. The result was two dead civilians.

> Mamdani refused to enforce a long-time NYC policy that mandated homeless street people be moved inside when freezing temperatures descended.

Eighteen dead because of that decision, which was never cogently explained.

Far-left radical governance always leads to societal chaos. When traditional rules of behavior are ignored, extreme behavior appears. San Francisco is the best example of that, a once-thriving metropolis that is now dirty and dangerous.

So, Frey and Mamdani have much to discuss as their collective “visions” unfold.

A word of caution: these men are hazardous to your health.

Enjoy the weekend.

The Truth

2026-02-12T08:22:00Z

According to the Bible, “deceivers” will be punished harshly on Judgment Day. And since we live in a time of sophisticated propaganda as well as outright lies, the Deity will be very busy.

You may have heard or read in the leftist media that ICE has detained very few “violent” migrants. The Democrats insist that most of those rounded up are friends and neighbors. So, Homeland Security is abusing its authority. Millions of Americans are buying that.

Well, here’s the truth. Under the classification of “non-violent“ crimes are these:

- Selling hard drugs like Fentanyl, Heroin, and Cocaine.

- Selling child pornography, abusing a child, trafficking a minor into prostitution.

- All theft, no matter how serious.

- All fraud, like the billions stolen in Minnesota by Somali foreign nationals.

-DWI offenses, even if injuries are involved.

The list goes on.

So, what should we think of people who use the 14 percent number, knowing it’s misleading in the extreme? Undocumented migrant criminals should be given a pass for so-called “non-violent” offenses? They should be left alone? What’s the point here?

The Feds say about 60 percent of migrant detentions involve some kind of criminal activity. With around 15 million illegal aliens in the USA, that’s a lot of miscreants. Is it not?

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Linking Trump to Epstein

2026-02-11T08:52:00Z

After all this time, reports are surfacing that Donald Trump called Palm Beach authorities in 2006 to warn them about Jeffrey Epstein’s conduct.

So, Trump haters desperately trying to link the President to Epstein’s crimes have been dealt a big setback, right?

Uh, no.

CNN and others are spinning it this way: Trump knew what Epstein was doing and didn’t act quickly enough!

So, how would CNN know that? It doesn’t say. It just continues to throw out ideological nonsense and preposterous analysis.

Every day.

Nothing can be done about press deception because of the First Amendment. However, CNN has lost millions of viewers because of its poor reporting.

Even on breaking news, it’s all speculation all the time. The network sent Jake Tapper to Arizona to cover the terrible Guthrie kidnapping. Tapper stood in front of a cactus. It was hard to tell them apart.

Anyway, very tough these days to get honest analysis. But you knew that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Super Bowl Halftime Pay

2026-02-10T08:00:00Z

The enormous wealth being generated by established internet media companies has never been seen before. Billions in profits are being generated. And now that wealth has crossed over into Bad Bunny land.

But the bad guy was paid nothing by the National Football League for his halftime performance. Nothing. He received about $1,000 a day for rehearsal expenses.

But the Bunny will soon hop on over to the bank because of Apple, and that is the story. CEO Tim Cook cooked up a deal with the NFL whereby close to $100 million Apple dollars flowed to the league for advertising, but most of all, to feature Bad Bunny at halftime.

Spotify and other Apple outlets are the reason why.

Cook understands that demand for whatever the Bunny is shouting about will now explode worldwide on his Apple Music service, closing in on the musician’s Spotify success. Right now, Spotify is the primary Bunny Hutch.

They’ll be rapping about Puerto Rico in Thailand. Cha-Ching.

Now you know the rest of the story. Money, indeed, makes the world go round.

See you this evening for the No Spin News!

San Francisco Has Collapsed

2026-02-09T08:55:00Z

Forget about earthquakes; tolerance is the biggest threat to the city of San Francisco, which is a shadow of what it used to be. Allowing miscreants to run wild has just about ruined a once-great American metropolis. It’s infuriating.

The progressive left denies the debacle, but the display of substance abusers and mentally ill living on the streets is vivid and shameful. Few care about them, and they don’t really care about themselves or the loved ones they’ve left behind. They are willing to die in pursuit of a fentanyl high.

The progressive left live in a fantasy world where “harm reduction” and incredible wasteful spending are solutions to substance abuse. That is a foolish lie, and the result can be seen on the streets where mentally and emotionally damaged human beings roam around committing crimes and destroying social order.

But not where Nancy Pelosi lives, in a Pacific Heights mansion. From there, she can see the sun sparkle on the bay. But she doesn’t care to see the degradation two miles away.

San Francisco has collapsed. That is the truth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Super Bowl Weekend

2026-02-06T08:37:00Z

(San Francisco) Rolled into the City by the Bay Thursday evening, lots of work to do here. I’ll be putting together a special report for NewsNation on the citywide collapse of social order. It’s a vital story the corporate media avoids.

The game on Sunday is at Levi Stadium, 40 miles south of the Golden Gate. Santa Clara is basically a big suburb and doesn’t have the enormous problems SF has.

Interesting situation shaping up regarding the Superbowl half time show. The music star Bad Bunny headlines, and there is fear he’ll go left-wing political as he did at the Grammys.

The NFL has advised the malevolent rabbit not to do that, but it’s live folks, anything could happen.

The reason the Bunny is there at all is merchandising. Men 17 to 34 buy tons of jerseys and hats. Big profits to NFL. And the young guys apparently like the Bunny hop or whatever it is.

I will be tweeting throughout the weekend. @BillOReilly. Bringing carrots just in case I run into the bad guy.

Enjoy the game.

Super Bowl Sunday

2026-02-05T08:59:00Z

Capitalism cannot be any more vivid than at the Super Bowl. It’s all about money, and you had better bring some if you’re attending the game in Santa Clara, California.

Top ticket price is $30,000 a seat on the secondary market. Cheapest: $4,000, and you are sitting with the seagulls.

Average hotel room cost in the San Francisco area is $2,300 a night, up from the usual $500. No wonder there are legions of homeless.

Driving to the stadium, around $250 to park. Want a beer? $12 a cup. Yikes.

So, the gouge is on, but people will pay it, and that’s the hallmark of a free marketplace. There will never be a Super Bowl in China or Russia. Only in America, the land of opportunity. And, unfortunately, price gouging.

I’ll be in the middle of it all, and if Bad Bunny gets out of line, you may see me rush the halftime stage. Hopefully, the malevolent rabbit will restrain himself.

Will be tweeting and posting on Instagram throughout the weekend. @BillOReilly. Enjoy the spectacle.

Trump's Iran Threats

2026-02-04T08:06:00Z

One of the last old school television news commentators is Brit Hume, an honest guy. The other day, he opined that President Trump might “fall into the same trap” President Obama did in the Middle East.

You may remember that Mr. Obama told the world he would punish the heinous Assad of Syria if he gassed protesters. Assad just briefly paused before letting the gas fly.

President Obama did nothing.

Now, President Trump has threatened Iran with military strikes if it continues brutalizing protesters. Hume says the President must back up his threat.

I see it differently. U.S. strikes against Iran will not ensure the Tehran government falls. Unexpected consequences loom. So, a plan B deal might come into play. The Mullahs would release all political prisoners and submit to inspection on nukes.

That would humiliate the holy killers and embolden internal opposition. If the Mullahs turn the offer down, well, destruction might come very soon.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trade Victory

2026-02-03T08:30:00Z

Big win for the world as the Trump administration solidifies a trade deal with India. That country will stop buying Russian oil, which will hurt Putin, and start purchasing US and Venezuelan oil.

Unless Jeffrey Epstein once bought US oil, chances are you will hear little about the trade victory with India. It’s almost like the Marx Brothers are in charge of the American press these days: “Hello, I must be going.”

The media is locked in on ICE and Epstein in order to continue damaging Trump with the midterm election later this year.

The absolute focus of the vast majority of media reporting is to assure a democratic victory. That’s it.

In a way, it’s kind of shocking, the abdication of any journalistic fairness.

In fact, the horrid cliche comes to mind: it is what it is.

But it shouldn’t be.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

SNL's ICE Skit

2026-02-02T08:23:00Z

Over the weekend, Saturday Night Live delivered a skit mocking the ICE/Minnesota situation. It bombed despite Pete Davidson playing Tom Homan. Mr. Davidson can be keenly amusing. He wasn’t here.

That’s because some things are not funny, like two dead protesters, an insurrection against the United States, Sanctuary protections for brutal foreign criminals.

Let me repeat. Those things have no amusement potential.

Neither does the dangerous open border policy imposed by President Biden. Or Trump officials not accurately describing violent confrontations. Or dishonest media people using death to advance transparent ideological beliefs.

Not funny.

Sharp satire is badly needed in this country. It can bring relief and clarity. But real-time joke-making about dangerous situations is a fool's errand, as the old saying goes.

Sadly, there are plenty of fools around to do it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Murphy's Law

2026-01-30T08:13:00Z

Murphy’s Law is an Irish invention that says if it’s possible for anything to go wrong, it will. Especially when dealing with enormous problems.

The Trump administration inherited around 15 million foreign nationals who were wandering around the country unsupervised because President Biden didn’t care who entered the USA - come on in! No waiting.

Among the new arrivals were perhaps a million dangerous criminals, maybe more. Havoc followed.

In a stunning success, Trump’s border people almost completely shut down the Biden open policy in less than a year. Of course, the hate-Trump media largely ignored the success as it did the Biden failure. This is the American press we have today.

But then, mayhem. Rounding up millions of human beings who don’t want to be rounded up has led to rebellion and death. Mistakes are being made. On an operation like that, how could they not be made?

So, hello, Mr. Murphy. The question now is: can your law be overcome?

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

U.S. Population Rate Slows

2026-01-29T08:38:00Z

The Census Bureau reports this month that the nation’s population is only increasing at a rate of 0.5 percent annually. Fewer immigrants and babies are the reasons.

We all know about the long-overdue crackdown on immigration law violators, but, oh baby, what’s up with that?

Here’s the truth: many younger Americans are frightened to start traditional families. Why? Because it’s hard to assume that kind of responsibility. Man, you mean I have to live for others, not just myself? I have to struggle for enough legal tender to support children? Buy a house? I have to leave my phone bubble?

There’s another big factor as well. If the dating situation doesn’t work out, revenge is now commonplace. Accusations, recriminations. It’s easy to smear with the device madness that dominates our culture.

Then there’s mass abortion.

Add it up, look out below. It is indeed tough out there, baby.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

FBI Transparency

2026-01-28T08:04:00Z

It may be unfair of me to criticize the Trump administration, people like Kash Patel. I am urging the FBI director to hold a press conference in order to update the American people on exactly what the FBI is investigating in the ICE/Minnesota debacle.

Obviously, there is much to clarify here with a state insurrection that has led to civilian deaths.

The truth is that Mr. Patel has to get permission to do that from President Trump. He cannot unilaterally decide to meet the press.

That’s because Donald Trump was burned so badly by Washington people in his first term, he now runs a “top-down” operation. All decisions come from the White House.

Franklin Roosevelt did the same thing for 13 years. He and a few cohorts made all the calls. FDR even wanted to sidestep the Supreme Court. Congress blocked him, but he would have done it.

It was amusing in a horrible way to see President Biden, the master of befuddlement, blame Trump yesterday for the Minnesota chaos. Come on, Joe. You caused it with your amazingly irresponsible open border policy. And now the nation suffers.

The truth is, it’s now up to Mr. Trump, himself, to get this thing under control. I believe he will do it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Who's Funding the Insurrection?

2026-01-27T16:18:00Z

The corrupt American media is ignoring an enormous story attached to the chaos in Minnesota. There is emerging evidence that a billionaire tech mogul, Neville Roy Singham, is funding the insurrection in Minneapolis.

Singham is a communist who lives in Shanghai, China, and is loyal to the Beijing government. He is 71 years old, born in Connecticut, and is married to Jodie Evans, the founder of the radical group Code Pink.

The FBI has investigated Singham in the past. He uses a US nonprofit called “Breakthrough News” to funnel millions to radical groups like Democratic Socialists of America and the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee. Those subversive outfits are on the ground in Minnesota, organizing hardcore zealots to disrupt and provoke federal agents.

The goal, of course, is to undermine the federal government; to create as much violence and chaos as possible. Again, why hasn’t this situation been made public? Red alert, here, literally.

We’ll continue our reporting on Singham this evening on the No Spin News.

ICE-Minneapolis Disaster

2026-01-26T08:00:00Z

Way too many politics in the ICE-Minneapolis disaster. Now, the Senate Democrats say they will not vote to fund ICE, which could shut down the government again. This hurts all Americans.

As usual, politicians simply will not accept the truth of the situation. Minnesota authorities are in full rebellion against federal law. No justification for that. The American people elected Donald Trump to enforce immigration statutes. If Minnesota doesn’t like it, tough. States should be fiscally punished for practicing anarchy.

Meanwhile, there is too much defiance about public safety from Homeland Security. Yes, your job is enforcement, but defusing potential life-death situations should be a priority. Leadership clearly knows federal agents are in danger from disturbed people. Adjustments have to be made because of that.

However, it is absolutely true that the man shot dead on Saturday actually sought his own demise. Sane people don’t bring loaded guns and confront law enforcement. The man’s family should be respected, and his loss mourned. But he, himself, orchestrated his own death.

Finally, President Trump should weigh in on the horrible turn of events in Minnesota. Don’t have to back down. Should bring reasonable dialogue to the table.

See you this evening for the No Spin News, where our honest coverage will continue.

Another No Spin Update

2026-01-23T18:06:00Z

Greetings, No Spin Nation! Your tour guide is okay and recovering from some stomach stuff. We are open on the website and very happy the Greenland invasion is not happening, but Sri Lanka better watch it.

Amazing good wishes have arrived here in New York City, and it’s hard to describe my gratitude. I am planning a jail break out of the medical facility where there are more than a few Concierge Members. That’s major. If USA Today finds me, I’m toast.

Working on the first broadcast back because there’s nothing else to do here except watch hysterical local TV news coverage about snow generated by global warming. Also, Mayor Mandami won’t give the kids a snow day unless they blame the frozen precipitation on capitalism.

Have an invite to go to church with Don Lemon, but might be too risky. Who knew the depth of his spirituality?

Another No Spin update on Sunday. Stay safe. The NSN is the best!

Trump's Strategy

2026-01-22T21:35:00Z

No Spin Nation alert. I’m not giving in to this malady and am following news events as usual. As I offered yesterday, we knew President Trump would tamp down the Greenland stuff, just as he did with Panama a year ago.

Like him or not, the President has a strategy to build American strength, and it seems to be working. But there is fierce resistance. Mr. Trump believes Europe is weak, and those folks are taking the derision personally. Great Britain is a good example.

Back home, it’s the usual noxious news coverage. First, Trump is a mad scientist for going after the ice pack. Then, when he reconsiders, the President is “backing down.”

Consistently this way, Donald Trump is always wrong in the eyes of the media that solidly backed President Biden, who left the USA dazed and confused.

There are many ways to govern. President Trump prefers confrontation, then consolation. With the exception of Putin, who’s a brutal sociopath, Trump’s moves on the chessboard are working. China and the U.S. economy loom. Don’t expect any “backdown.”

Calling the Greenland Situation

2026-01-21T23:32:00Z

As we predicted Monday, President Trump is not going to send troops to Greenland. He made the announcement today. So, how did I know that when most other media were waxing hysterical?

Donald Trump uses a “process” when negotiating. It’s not the same for every situation, but if you understand his goal, the chaos involved makes sense. Here’s the key: the other side gets hammered, and it’s a relief when the deal is made. Glad that’s over!

I fully expect Greenland will be overseen by the USA. No downside for Denmark, big tactical advantage for America. Next up, a ferocious campaign to bring consumer prices down. Can’t wait to see how the President will attack that. Can only tell you it won’t be with troops.

Update From Bill

2026-01-21T01:36:00Z

Hey No Spin Nation. Sorry I am dealing with a malady. We have great doctors so we’ll fight the good fight. Doesn’t affect my fingers so will update you on me, news cycle, and anything major. Hopefully, back in the saddle shortly.

BO’R

Deceit

2026-01-20T08:10:00Z

There’s a lot of deceit floating around these days, and not many truth-seekers willing to call it out. Over the weekend, a video hit the air showing ICE agents dragging a woman from a car who defied lawful instructions. The distraught lady screamed she was “disabled” and “autistic.” That’s all the TV propagandists had to hear! Full steam ahead.

Turns out the woman is a far-left activist who tried to set up the federal agents.

No apology from the dishonest TV people.

Then there was the 60 Minutes story on the Trump administration deporting migrants to a dangerous prison in El Salvador. CBS News used a spokesman from “Human Rights Watch,” a far-left group funded by radicals like George Soros. But 60 Minutes failed to mention that. Why? Because it would have cast doubt on its narrative: migrants good, Trump bad.

As it turned out, the Rights Watch guy said only 3 percent of the deported migrants were criminals. Preposterous and CBS had to know it because on the same day, its correspondent Margaret Brennan put forth that 40 percent of undocumented immigrants in custody have criminal involvement.

We are living in a dishonest time. The media leads the way on that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Greenland Thing

2026-01-19T15:21:00Z

This Greenland thing has the potential to disrupt the West and help the dastardly Vladimir Putin. President Trump is correct that the enormous island under the control of Denmark is not helping security in the United States. That’s because there is only one U.S. military base there to monitor Russian and Chinese ships using the Arctic passage way to North America.

In discussions with the President, I put forth that deals can be made with the Danes. It’s similar to Panama one year ago when Mr. Trump saber-rattled that American troops might have to run the Canal. Didn’t happen because Panama made a deal with the USA that benefited both countries.

Inserting US troops into Greenland without a treaty would provide the murderous Putin with cover. His justification for invading Ukraine is Russian national security. That’s President Trump’s stated reason for controlling Greenland.

Finally, the American people will not support a military move against the Danish territory as the midterm election looms.

We’ll have a major report on Greenland this evening on the No Spin News.

Out of Control

2026-01-16T08:07:00Z

The Minnesota undocumented migrant situation is dangerous. After my column “The Rebellion” was published last Sunday, other media began to wise up about what’s REALLY happening in that renegade state. Protesting political things is a hallmark of our country, defying the law is not.

Although I hope it doesn’t occur, President Trump would be on strong legal ground if he invoked “The Insurrection Act.” That would allow federal troops to enforce immigration law in Minnesota as well as protect ICE agents.

In 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower did that to enforce desegregation in Arkansas. Governor Orvil Faubus openly defied federal law, so the 101st Airborne Division showed up to “reason” with old Orvil. He backed down fast.

Minnesota is totally out of control on immigration. It issues driver’s licenses to the undocumented, allows criminality by foreign nationals, provides tens of millions of dollars in assistance without checking into who exactly is getting the tax money; the result - billions stolen, fraud gone wild.

Now, Governor Walz is demanding that ICE agents leave the state. Totally irresponsible. Walz is the new Orvil Faubus.

I suspect Tim will back off. I also believe radical left groups are behind this insurrection. Something has to give.

Enjoy the weekend. Even if you live in Minnesota.

Charges Against the Clintons

2026-01-15T08:00:00Z

The ultimate be careful what you wish for is coming to pass in Washington, D.C. As everybody knows, Democrats have been desperately trying to link President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.

That’s what the incessant media coverage is all about, and the self-righteous demand for documents is driven by that as well.

But what is actually happening now is that Bill and Hillary Clinton may be in severe legal trouble because they have defied subpoenas to testify about Jeffrey Epstein in front of the House Oversight Committee.

That Committee is now going to vote on contempt charges against the Clintons. Then it will go to the full House for the vote. And it is very likely to pass.

If that happens, then the specter of Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon appears. You may remember that the two refused to testify in front of the House about the January 6th riot. They were both sentenced to prison terms.

So, if a scenario unfolds in which the Clintons continue to defy subpoenas, there is a chance they would be sentenced to prison. Former President Clinton could claim some type of executive privilege, but it would be dicey. Former First Lady Hillary Clinton is out there without a defense.

Finally, the reason that the Clintons are in trouble is that Bill Clinton did cavort with Epstein; photos prove that. And the Clinton charitable foundation apparently used Epstein’s jet scores of times to go around the world.

Democrats may be regretting their obsession with Jeffrey Epstein.

We’ll be back Monday with a new No Spin News. Until then, check in with us over the weekend. We’ll be updating on all breaking news.

Trump's Second Term

2026-01-14T08:00:00Z

When evaluating Donald Trump’s second term, there really is only one fair measure: is the President improving the country with his polices?

Demeanor doesn’t matter because 77 million voters supported Mr. Trump’s quest for a White House return. Every single one of those people knew what they were getting.

At this point, America is gaining strength economically by most measures. But high prices remain. The President is trying a number of things to reverse the trend. No one knows if food and insurance costs will decline. They are the primary problem.

Crime is down across the country, obviously a good thing. Illegal immigration has largely ended. Border security is much stronger.

Bad guys like Maduro and the Iranian Mullahs have been confronted. Cuba may fall. Putin remains a serious problem. The Chinese seem to want some kind of detente.

In my opinion, that’s a strong record in 12 months. Not perfect, of course. But trending positive for most Americans. Even those who hate Trump.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Steve Kerr's ICE Stance

2026-01-13T08:00:00Z

In a press briefing, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr put forth that the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis committed “murder.”

Now ordinarily, I don’t pay much attention to ill-informed opinions because there are so many of them you’d collapse mentally trying to process all the bilge.

But Mr. Kerr’s denial of due process is actually dangerous because so many Americans have little idea that everyone in this country is presumed innocent until found guilty by a jury of their peers.

Apparently, old Steve doesn’t know that or doesn’t care. That puts him in the hyper-pinhead category.

Steve Kerr is what I call a virtue-signaler. He plays to his ideological base in San Francisco. The problem is that he has influence among some younger Americans, including players on his team.

And he is leading them to a dark place.

If due process is not respected in the USA, we are on our way to anarchy and witch-hunting. I’m sure Steve Kerr has not read my book “Killing the Witches,” but he might wise up if he did.

However, wise is not a word I would associate with the coach. Ideologue is a better description.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Reality of the Associated Press

2026-01-12T08:27:00Z

The Associated Press is really becoming a problem. The world-wide news agency sends stories to thousands of newspapers around the world, most of which print them with little scrutiny.

AP executives will tell you they play it straight, seeking facts, rejecting spin. That is not true.

The reality is, the Associated Press wants to make the Trump administration look bad. Not by directly attacking the President, but by story selection and deep skepticism.

You may remember the AP was kicked out of the White House last year for slanted reporting. They sued. But so far, they are still looking through the window. Here’s a vivid example of why.

After Border Patrol Agents shot two criminal suspects in Portland, the government issued a statement saying the pair is suspected in a local shooting and are members of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. That is true.

But the AP would not accept reality and sent out a hard news report that said in the past, “evidence has cast doubt on the administration’s characterization of what promoted the shootings.”

Clearly, the Associated Press sought to undermine the President, rather than report the facts of the case.

That damages the country, but the AP has no remorse. Shameful.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Federal Officers vs. Civilians

2026-01-09T08:22:00Z

Another shooting confrontation between federal officers and civilians, this one in Portland, Oregon. No surprise it happened there. Like Minneapolis, Portland is run by radical leftists who encourage “resistance” against immigration law and those who enforce it.

This is the most important point in the growing controversy. The far left is simply refusing to obey the law and believes it is righteous in doing so.

We saw this in the late 1960s when leftist young people defied the draft during the Vietnam War. Violent clashes broke out. National Guardsmen shot four people dead at Kent State in Ohio. Eventually, the country turned against the war, and those who broke the law were given amnesty by President Carter.

That is not likely to happen in the immigration situation because the country elected Donald Trump to stop the madness. However, the feds should use as much restraint as possible. Violence begets violence.

As I said on the No Spin News, a number of states are in rebellion against the federal government. That situation will have to be confronted.

New column on Sunday. Enjoy the weekend.

Investigating the ICE Shooting

2026-01-08T08:00:00Z

We are heavily investigating the ICE/Minnesota shooting. Here are some of the key questions in the case. Did Mayor Frey and Governor Walz incite protests against the federal government by using incendiary rhetoric before the immigration sweep began?

Were the ICE agents overly aggressive when confronted by protesters?

The vehicle involved was actively impeding a federal investigation. Is that a crime?

The video of the shooting clearly shows the woman driver moving toward the federal agent who shot her. That contradicts statements by Frey, Walz, and the Minneapolis Chief of Police. How did those officials get it wrong?

Were the protesters part of any group? Was the anti-ICE demonstration spontaneous?

We will answer those questions on the No Spin News this evening.

ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

2026-01-08T00:04:00Z

Just watched the video of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. It is clear that an agent was in front of a moving vehicle when he shot the driver. Therefore, the statements made by Mayor Frey and Governor Walz are inaccurate. All responsible leaders should be trying to calm the situation.

Foreign Turmoil

2026-01-07T08:55:00Z

Donald Trump has issued a “greatest hits” album that may “hit” number one with a bullet. I realize that’s a terrible pun, but the world is definitely awaiting what regime will sing a swan song next. Another absolutely brutal play on words. Sorry.

It’s likely to be Iran. The current Ayatollah is rumored to be checking out the Moscow political asylum situation that Syrian villain Assad embraced. Putin loves bad people and seems to be recruiting them to live in Russia, where the current temperature is two degrees.

That’s beard freezing territory, Imam.

The Persian people seem to have had it with their government, which will execute you for attending the junior prom. The national pastime in Iran is throwing gay guys off buildings, as described in my book “Confronting Evil.”

In Cuba, the communist government is also shaky because no one has any money, now that cheap Venezuelan oil is over. Yes, like the Persians, Cubans have put up with brutal conditions for decades, but President Trump’s aggressive foreign policy is emboldening the persecuted.

Greenland is not at that level, so I don’t expect a change of government there. Let’s leave those people be. Send Copenhagen some “let it snow” hoodies in return for military base leases. Problem solved.

All of this foreign turmoil is confusing the anti-Trump brigades because it’s hard to sympathize with drug merchants, communist murderers, and terrorist regimes. Senator Chuck Schumer is trying, but it’s a heavy lift. Right, Chuck?

You might want to just hum along.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Understanding the Trump Administration

2026-01-06T15:02:00Z

Almost every day, the Trump administration does something that requires a frame of reference to understand. Tariffs, bombings, dictator interventions, on and on.

The American news industry is supposed to explain important stories to the folks who might not understand what the deuce is going on. Nicolas Maduro? Isn’t he a shortstop for the Yankees? It is unrealistic to think the regular U.S. citizen can process complicated stories thousands of miles away.

The media is supposed to help the folks understand by reporting facts.

But that is not happening. Ideology, not fact-finding, drives many in the press. In addition, a lot of reporters and pundits do not know very much. In short, they are not smart enough to do their jobs.

President Trump removed Maduro the exact same way that President Bush the Elder took out Panamanian dictator Noriega in 1989. Did you hear that reference on the news? I didn’t.

And that’s why the media is collapsing. The purveyors simply don’t know very much about history. And don’t care.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

ABC's Credibility

2026-01-05T08:00:00Z

For the opening message of 2026, I am going to be unkind. George Stephanopoulos has recertified his status as a nitwit, which has been growing ever since Donald Trump entered politics.

George, who cost ABC News about $16 million dollars in legal costs last year after calling the President a rapist, is very concerned that there is no legitimate basis to justify the removal of Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro.

Apparently, all the ABC producers who tend to George couldn’t find the time to research the story, most likely because ABC now does so many weather-related reports, the staff has fallen out of touch with real news.

If you want to know whether it was cloudy in Caracas when U.S. Special Forces grabbed Maduro, ABC is your go-to. But if you’re looking for actual facts, keep your focus here.

On November 24, 2025, the Trump administration designated the “Cartel de los Soles” as a terrorist organization. That means the United States can legally use military force against it.

Los Soles smuggles narcotics into the USA and does a number of other criminal things. Nicholas Maduro is allegedly involved with the group. At least that’s what the Justice Department is alleging.

That’s the legal basis for Trump’s action against old Nick, who the CIA believes has $200 million stashed away. Wow, who knew being the dictator of Venezuela paid so well?

Do you think George Stephanopoulos knows any of this? I don’t. But I could be wrong.

If so, I’ll apologize for calling George a nitwit. It’s the least I can do.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump's Bold Move

2026-01-03T21:15:00Z

A bold move by the USA in removing the thug Nicholas Maduro from power in Venezuela. Apparently, his army and police did not even defend him against US forces. That says a lot.

Maduro was a menace on many fronts. He is charged by American authorities with drug trafficking. He aided Iran as well as Cuba with oil shipments, and he ran a corrupt, authoritarian government.

Those who despise President Trump will oppose Maduro’s removal because they oppose everything the President does. We’ll delve into that on Monday.

For now, American power has removed a bad person. However, it will take skill to run Venezuela in the vacuum that has been created. Another test for Donald Trump, who should be cautious and analyze what happened after President Bush removed Saddam Hussein.

Big story, obviously, as President Trump roars into 2026. We will continue to cover over the weekend, so please check back.

Self-Help

2026-01-02T08:00:00Z

One of the biggest-selling books of last year is a self-help tome called "The Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins. The central theme is we should stop trying to control others and concentrate on being better individuals.

Now, the last self-help book I bought ... wait...I never read one. That's because I am beyond help. I live in a zone of self-reliance using a philosophy based upon Judeo-Christian philosophy and situation ethics, which requires experience, not introspection. So, I don't believe Mel Robbins can help me. Mel Brooks, yes. I need as many laughs as I can get.

The Robbins book is similar to one based on Asian philosophy entitled "Do Nothing." Same approach. Many people will disappoint you; nothing you can do but absorb it. Don't make yourself crazy.

I understand. However, I dissent. Improving yourself is important, but so is confronting miscreants. There is some wisdom in not sweating the small stuff, another long-ago book. Ignoring negativity when it doesn't much matter is smart.

One personal example. The corruption of the American media drives me nuts. I probably mention it far too much. The deteriorating press has actually made me a ton of money as my independent news presentation is prospering. Mel Robbins might scold me for focusing on the corruption because it has made me stronger. But I can't ignore it.

Fifty years in a profession will do that. I'm not letting them, Mel. I'm calling them out!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from BillOReilly.com!

A Chance to Succeed

2025-12-30T08:00:00Z

Actor Harrison Ford is 83 years old and looks pretty damn good if you ask me. He's on the cover of Variety magazine, waxing philosophical about a number of things, including capitalism.

Says the hero of Star Wars: "It's like it's always been, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and that ain't exactly right."

Okay. Harrison Ford got rich and famous by using his God given acting talent. Folks decided to pay money to see his movies. Nothing wrong with that. No fix was in for the charismatic Ford.

In America, Harrison got a chance to succeed and made it happen. In Cuba, that would not have occurred because there is no film industry to speak of. Why? Because you need "capital" to make movies and pay Harrison Ford. No capital in communist countries.

On the poverty side, millions of Americans are in that zone. And there is usually a compelling reason why. Lack of education, laziness, addiction, violent behavior, just to name a few.

So, what would Harrison have America do? Poverty is most often a personal responsibility issue. If you develop a skill, work hard, and live in an honest way, you won't be poor. Got it?

I hope so because my analysis is "exactly right."

If Joe Biden or Kamala Harris Were President

2025-12-30T08:00:00Z

It is not my job to defend President Trump. He has vast power to do that himself, and two news networks consistently cheer him on. Obviously, the anti-Trump media outnumbers the pro-Trumpers, but there's nothing I can do about that.

What I can do is provide perspective. So, here's some of that. What if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris were president today? Here's a checklist.

-Do you think the Gaza hostages would have been released?

-How about appointing a special group to investigate wasteful government spending? Do you think JoKam would have done that?

-The Mexican president has sent 10,000 troops to protect the border with the USA. Would that have happened?

-Thousands of migrant criminals have been deported. JoKam down with that?

-Trump will most likely engineer a cease-fire in Ukraine, although it will be controversial. Would Jo/Kam have done any better? They had two years.

-The NCAA now says biological men cannot compete in sports with women. Not woke. Any comment JoKam?

Interesting series of questions, right? President Trump may not succeed in solving all vexing problems. But at least there's an effort.

Undergoing Change

2025-12-29T08:00:00Z

As you know, the United States is undergoing profound change with Republicans in charge of the federal government. Some new policies are good, others questionable. But what is absolutely fascinating is that the Democratic Party opposes just about all change.

The nation cannot sustain a $37 trillion debt. Everyone knows that. Spending cuts have to be made, or the economy will collapse. Therefore, some programs and personnel will have to be diminished.

But almost every time there's a layoff or closed program, the wailing begins. It's not fair; people will starve, planes will crash.

The simple question is, okay, what would you do to get federal spending under control? Rarely an answer. Biden's solution was more taxes... fair share.

The truth is that far too much tax money is wasted by corrupt bureaucrats.

And that is anything but fair.

So, let's do something about it. Okay, people?

The Pope vs. Putin

2025-12-26T08:00:00Z

Good confronted Evil on Christmas. Pope Leo, a man of peace, directly asked Vladimir Putin, a man of death, for a 24-hour ceasefire in the Ukraine war.

Evil Putin, of course, said no, continuing to target civilians with drones and rockets. His war is not army against army, it is terror strikes directed at civilians, much like Hitler’s murderous blitz bombing targeting England.

Putin and Hitler have much in common, with no human feelings whatsoever. In today’s world, the evil of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao in the twentieth century is mostly discussed without emotion. So long ago.

But as I point out in “Confronting Evil,” the world can clearly see the Russian leader committing daily murder. He does that with the acceptance of his people, including the disgraceful head of the Russian Orthodox Church, who props up bad Vlad.

So do various commentators in the USA, China, India, Hungary, and others. There is absolutely no excuse for their evil behavior.

Pope Leo told reporters he is sad Vlad wouldn’t stop the violence even on Christmas Day. I’m sad as well. But anger should be the primary emotion directed at Vladimir Putin. Sorry to be blunt, but he doesn’t deserve to be on this earth.

Merry Christmas from BillOReilly.com

2025-12-24T08:00:00Z

From all of us at BillOReilly.com we wish you a calm Christmas season. No angst zone. All of us live in the best country ever. We are very grateful. Peace on earth.

Hate in America

2025-12-23T08:00:00Z

As Christmas descends, there’s still an overabundance of hate in the USA, much of it directed at President Trump and his core supporters. Families and friends are affected by this, and I cannot figure it out. Okay, you don’t approve of the President. That’s your right. But being consumed by loathing damages only the loather.

Based upon his performance, I had no use for President Biden. His open border policy was one of the worst presidential decisions of all time. The country is still reeling from that, as well as massive irresponsible spending.

But I do not wish Mr. Biden calamity. He was exposed, and so was Kamala. Justice prevailed.

There is something unsettling about people wanting President Trump to suffer. But they do. That’s what this Epstein obsession is all about. I mean every day, over and over. The story is designed to “get Trump.”

Not a great look as the world gets ready to celebrate Christmas, a time of peaceful reflection.

Is it?

Enjoy the season!

Censorship

2025-12-22T16:01:00Z

Most governments around the world practice censorship. Even places like France, which touts democracy, finds ways to stifle free expression.

And don’t even get me started on China, Russia, and Iran. Even the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia punishes expressions it doesn’t like.

Here in the USA, censorship is illegal in government agencies. There are whistleblower laws and civil lawsuits to protect the folks from totalitarianism. But in the private sector, censorship is allowed. And this is damaging our country.

The conservative Media Research Center did a study of late-night television programs and found that only two non-liberal guests appeared to talk policy this entire year. Two out of hundreds.

They were Greg Gutfeld, who talked to Jimmy Fallon about boozing. And an economist who explained tariffs to Jon Stewart.

Huge media companies like CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and Comedy Central have sent a clear signal that no conservatives need apply.

To his credit, Bill Maher has defied the blatant blackballing, but he’s taken enormous heat for doing so.

Media companies reach millions of Americans every day. People who don’t know very much are easily swayed. Most celebrities hate Trump, so they hate Trump. It’s the Lemmings Factor.

Democracy is fragile. One point of view does not advance fairness or problem-solving. Corporations are undermining the First Amendment.

There’s no doubt about it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Reflection

2025-12-19T16:54:00Z

The last few days before Christmas, I try to reflect on how life is unfolding. Once again, we are in the fast lane in America because AI is on the march, evil continues to grow, and political hatred dominates Washington and the media.

All of these things will have to be dealt with. Meanwhile, millions of folks are exhausted from the ongoing friction in government and the uncertainty in their own personal situations.

My advice: slow things down. Take each problem separately, don’t overwhelm yourself. Some bad situations actually improve on their own. Others need a plan of action. Come up with one. Brain, pen, paper.

There’s nothing you can do about Putin, Trump, Schumer, the Chinese totalitarians. Stay informed. Don’t let those people directly affect your mental state.

Instead, concentrate on good things - like Christmas, friends, personal generosity. Good can mitigate evil. It just takes mental discipline.

So there you go. My Christmas card to you.

Last column of the year on Sunday.

The Midterms

2025-12-18T08:44:00Z

If the midterm election were held today, the Republicans would get waxed. Americans are not a patient people and often vote emotionally. Struggling to pay bills is VERY emotional.

Yes, President Biden screwed up the economy with massive federal spending and little oversight or problem-solving. But the folks are long past old Joe; bringing him up is like saying the Mets collapsed this year. It’s true, but so what? It’s over. New season ahead.

President Trump will most likely make the midterms a personal matter - us against them, and you don’t want them.

But in order to get the turnout Republicans need to hold both houses, there has to be a strong turnout for wanting “us.”

Not easy. But Mr. Trump believes he can do it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Susie Wiles' Vanity Fair Interview

2025-12-17T08:00:00Z

As a reporter who analyses the news without deceit, I have studied the Trump administration vigorously. It is a nonstop assignment as the President is a man of action and transaction. Very little downtime.

What I do not understand is why the administration walks on the wild side. It allows enemies inside the perimeter walls. Why?

The latest perplexity is Chief of Staff Susie Wiles giving access to Vanity Fair magazine. Based in LA, VF is essentially a showbiz glitz publication that has to lean left if it wants access to Hollywood players. So it embraces liberalism with enthusiasm.

Fun fact: Donald Trump is not liberal, and showbiz types mostly loathe him.

You knew. I know.

Predictably, the Vanity Fair piece on Ms. Wiles is unfavorable to the Trump crew. The White House response is that quotes are taken “out of context.”

Not hard to believe, but so what? The salacious stuff is all over the media. In the meantime, a decent November economic report is ignored.

The media-Trump war will continue for the next three years and beyond. No one will definitely win. But those who don’t learn from the past will absolutely lose.

A Weapon of Mass Destruction

2025-12-16T08:53:00Z

President Trump has signed an Executive Order categorizing the narcotic fentanyl as a “weapon of mass destruction.” He did that to increase his legal options in dealing with Mexico, by far the largest exporter of fentanyl in the world.

The President is now willing to use military force against drug merchants, as the world has seen with the destruction of Venezuelan boats. Land action is coming.

Mexico has been a corrupt country ever since the turn of the 20th century. The drug cartels rule about a third of the nation through fear. They kill opponents and their families at will. The government in Mexico City is too weak to stand up to them.

Therefore, the USA is faced with a choice: allow hundreds of thousands of drug-involved Americans to die. Or destroy the cartel structure. That’s it. There’s no other option.

Fentanyl is poison. It is cheap to make, easy to smuggle. Billions of dollars are derived from the weak people who buy it.

So, now, the substance is a WMD. And the United States is determined to eliminate it and those who profit from it.

Good. That needs to be done.

Trump-Bashing

2025-12-15T15:54:00Z

Do you think it’s possible that the media could pause the Trump-bashing during the last two weeks of this year? Could that ever happen? Just pack it away over Christmas and New Year’s?

Don’t think so.

What would TV news and talk shows do without the President? What would Democrats say? The answer is not much. For his opposition, criticizing Mr. Trump is like crack cocaine. They literally cannot stop doing it.

This week, Saturday Night Live once again opened with James Austin Johnson imitating Trump. Johnson is a brilliant impersonator, but the bit was tedious. We’ve seen it over and over again. SNL doesn’t know what the deuce to do anymore, so it repeats itself, hoping to please the bubble people who can’t get enough Trump-mocking.

So, we all need a break from this. There are many other targets. SNL could open with Putin throwing his advisors out of windows or Congresswoman Omar saying those who criticize Somalis for stealing a billion dollars are racist. Or Chuck Schumer suggesting softer treatment for drug cartels.

You go, Chuck.

Saturday Night Live is 51 years old. I’d like the show to age gracefully. It’s not. Overdoing Trump is now a tired cliche.

Stow it for a while.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

CNN Needs an Overhaul

2025-12-12T08:00:00Z

Apparently, some in the media are taking umbrage that President Trump would like a change of management at CNN. First of all, I love the word “umbrage.” And secondly, CNN has tortured Mr. Trump for ten years, so why wouldn’t he want regime change?

If you compare the attitude towards President Biden to that of President Trump, CNN reveals itself. White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, whom I believe is talented, pretty much gave Biden a pass even though the former President basically ignored CNN and all other media.

President Trump, on the other hand, sat for a big Town Hall with Ms. Collins.

Nevertheless, Kaitlan uses every opportunity to play “gotcha” with the President, and it’s tedious. No benefit of the doubt, just an accusatory tone.

But Ms. Collins isn’t the worst; NBC and ABC are. “60 Minutes” also surpasses Kaitlan on the Trump loathing chart.

Journalism is not hard. You seek facts, you ask tough questions in a respectful way to get them. Gotcha is a foolish game. Injecting a supercilious negative attitude towards a story is corrupt.

Remember “we report, you decide?”

President Trump is right. CNN needs an overhaul.

New column on Sunday.

Downfall of TV News

2025-12-11T08:05:00Z

The media in America is undergoing profound changes, and I will submit to you that most folks don’t care at all. That’s because hating or loving President Trump has literally destroyed press credibility in this country and overseas as well.

Hello, BBC.

I make my living absorbing and analyzing information, but I cannot trust television news in particular. It used to be that I would turn on the morning network and cable programs. Now the TV set stays dark. I learn nothing from the early-rising talking heads. Nada.

They are either parroting ideological newspapers or doing ten minutes of weather. Total waste of my time.

It’s not much better in the evening. The network anchors use similar scripts and make no attempt to provide any perspective whatsoever. The guy on ABC News, for example, says the word “tonight” dozens of times throughout the broadcast.

We get it, David Muir. You’re on at 6:30. Geez.

Ratings for all news broadcasts are cratering. The internet now dominates information flow. TV news is essentially boring.

No spin. See you later for real news.

ICE Raid Dissenters

2025-12-10T17:04:00Z

One thing all the ICE raid dissenters have in common is that they don’t really want immigration law enforced. Most liberal Americans supported Biden’s open border policy and then voted for Kamala Harris, who would, had she been elected, have continued the madness.

I wish the left were honest about that instead of insulting the collective intelligence by spouting nonsense like we want criminal aliens out but not peaceful migrants.

That’s impossible unless each unlawful entry case is adjudicated in court. ICE agents in the field can’t possibly sort things out on the spot, can they?

The truth is that many Americans put virtue signaling above public safety. It’s easy to sympathize with poor immigrants who come to America for a better life. My ancestors did that in 1868. Compassionate people don’t want to hurt the defenseless.

However, because of President Biden’s gross dereliction of duty, thousands of violent criminals surged into this country alongside peaceful migrants. But all of the undocumented violated US sovereignty.

Homeland Security is now trying to mitigate the damage. Those agents deserve our support.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Supercharged Extremism

2025-12-09T08:25:00Z

So I get a letter from a guy who read “Confronting Evil” and is furious. He objects to my classifying Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest as a miscreant. Forrest, who founded the Ku Klux Klan, slaughtered surrendering Union troops in Tennessee and was an all-around hater. But the letter writer says he was only upholding “the war of Southern independence.”

Great.

Then I see some podcast loon personally attacking Charlie Kirk’s widow for her traditional views on family. The nut actually says, “This is why nobody wants to be a Christian.”

Ahem. There are over 2 billion Christians in the world right now.

The question then becomes how many unbalanced people are running around these days? Is the crazy brigade growing or just more visible in the age of social media? Obviously, extremism is supercharged in cyberspace. Wacky stuff gets full frontal.

Nobody really knows if mass neurosis is making deep inroads. What I am certain about is that there are plenty of dangerous people poised to act out. Constraining them might be an unsolvable situation.

Therefore, be careful out there. I am. Read the room before you get comfortable; this is no time to get distracted.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Tiny Tyrant

2025-12-08T08:00:00Z

The tiny tyrant won’t quit. Even as U.S. negotiators are trying to stop the stupid war in Ukraine, bad Vlad Putin continues to attack civilian targets with drones and missiles. Of course, the result is more dead innocent people - something the psychopathic Putin relishes.

I put Putin on the cover of “Confronting Evil” because few understand how dangerous this guy really is. He is devoid of human emotion, enjoys inflicting pain, and obsessed with emulating Joseph Stalin, his hero.

Quite the resume.

At this point, NATO needs to punch the tiny (5’6”) tyrant in the mouth, figuratively speaking. The West can’t give him the Maduro treatment because he has nukes and would use them.

But how about suspending all flights to and from Russia? Europe and the USA can simply deny landing privileges as well as ban takeoffs to Putin land.

India and China would not go along, but so what? Send an easy for everybody to understand message.

Then stop buying Russian oil. Ramp up production in America and the Middle East to service Europe’s needs.

Those things should be put on Putin’s desk now. It really is beyond time to deal with this dangerous man in a methodical way.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Left's Reaction to Drug Merchants

2025-12-05T08:00:00Z

It is truly astonishing to hear liberal politicians and anti-Trump pundits bemoan the fate of drug smugglers. Here are people who transport and sell powerful narcotics that kill millions all over the world. Yet, as soon as American power is unleashed on them, the wailing and gnashing of teeth begins.

Everyone’s favorite late-night lefty, Jimmy Kimmel, riffed the other night that ordinary “fishermen” are getting waxed by U.S. air power. Jim raised the possibility of the Trump administration interrupting the pursuit of Chilean Bass!

One problem, many of the boats being blasted to kingdom come are worth about $400,000 each with top speeds of 90 mph. Ahoy there, Jim, care to round up some Halibut?

The always perceptive Rachel Maddow opined that some of the targeted boats “were not even pointed at the United States.”

Pointed? Maybe they veered off to whale watch. That’s the ticket.

The key question is, how do you stop drug merchants from making billions of dollars? Jimmy? Rachel? Bueller? Do you talk them out of it? Provide other forms of employment, perhaps in the AI industry?

What?

Of course, the dissenters have no answers to confronting heinous drug-traffickers. They just don’t like anything Trump does. Problem-solving? Nah.

No sympathy here for the cocaine sailors. They don’t care who they kill. So, amigos, how do you like the new shoe-foot analogy?

Have a nice December weekend.

A Challenging Year

2025-12-04T08:53:00Z

Christmas arrives in three weeks, and Santa is up against it this year, for sure. He absolutely cannot deliver gifts without a strategy. First, the elves have to figure out the tariff situation in the USA since the North Pole is subject to import duties. What a nightmare that will be.

If St. Nick goes the other way, Putin might drone him. Bad Vlad is not exactly a Christmas kind of guy. He’s all naughty, no nice.

In China, Santa’s sled will be thoroughly searched, and detention is always a possibility.

Cuba, too. These commies are not big fans of the baby Jesus.

In New York City, Santa will run into congestion pricing, and Mamdani, who could demand that he give free sleigh rides to the public. That would take some time.

If the jolly guy flies into California, it might be hard to figure out exactly whose house has not been burned to the ground.

And let’s not even talk about Mexico, where the cartel thugs might kidnap Rudolf. I wouldn’t count on Presidente Sheinbaum getting him released anytime soon.

So, this is a challenging year for Santa, especially if he wears that red suit.

Chuck Schumer will NOT like that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News from Washington.

Fake News

2025-12-03T08:00:00Z

Did you know that “fake news” was started by Benjamin Franklin? Bet you didn’t. In 1782, he created a phony newspaper that pounded King George and the colonists who supported him.

Old Ben would be surprised at today’s media, I believe, because it is so audacious. Not only does the liberal press spin stories to damage political opponents like President Trump, it ignores important situations that may put Mr. Trump in a favorable light.

Here’s some backup. Last week, the national average for a gallon of regular gas fell to $2.95. Down 8 cents and falling. ABC and NBC News failed to mention.

Mortgage rates are also falling. Little notice by the press. In addition, the stock market is booming, helping most American investors gain financial ground.

This is not boosterism for President Trump. It’s simply a warning. Many good people are being misled by an American media that cannot be trusted. Those people are not looking out for you.

There are exceptions. But they are dwindling.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Attacking Trump

2025-12-02T14:59:00Z

Steely Dan once sang about “reelin’ in the years,” and 2025 certainly fits into that category. President Trump returned with a vengeance, literally, driving his detractors into fits of irrational rage.

Let me state this clearly: there is nothing wrong with opposing Donald Trump; that’s called freedom of expression. But trying to hurt the President is another matter.

This historian already knows 2026 will be an extremely turbulent year in the USA. That’s because the anti-Trump forces have just one more shot at him. If Republicans hold the House and Senate next November, the President will actually acquire more power than he wields now. And the progressive left will be his main target.

Thus, liberal America, as well as its media allies, will attack Mr. Trump nonstop next year. And if he is to prevail, the President must develop a better form of messaging, especially regarding the high cost of living.

The key to Trump’s future is a cogent explanation. Why is he doing what he is doing? I admire the President’s accessibility, especially after the cloistered Joe Biden. But too often Mr. Trump distracts the nation with personal feuds and self-defeating invective.

A calmer, more verbally methodical Donald Trump would bolster him enormously because most of his policies are working, at least to some extent.

In preparation for the coming onslaught, the President should expect stepped-up vilification beginning in January. He should meet that stating calm facts. Stow the emotion.

For the warrior Trump, that’s very tough to do. But there’s no other pathway.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Running Wild

2025-12-01T08:02:00Z

At Mass on Sunday, the Gospel posited that a significant amount of people will go to hell, so they might want to wise up before it’s too late. Interestingly, a Gallup survey says about 60 percent of Americans believe in damnation, Evangelicals leading the league.

The priest sermonized about the prospect of Gehenna, but gently. These days, the Catholic Church rarely pounds home theological negativity, preferring to encourage good behavior from the pulpit.

It’s tough enough to get folks in the pews. Telling them a fire pit may await doesn’t make it easier.

The hell thing, of course, has been around since human beings harnessed fire to cook food and keep warm. Back at the first Thanksgiving time, the Puritan sermonizers spent hours threatening their flock with eternal suffering if their knee socks were too low. Plymouth was a tough place.

In the modern world, miscreants are running wild seemingly without restraint. None of the 15 horrendous human beings profiled in my book “Confronting Evil” repented. Not one.

To me, it just doesn’t stack up that a person can consistently harm others with no final judgment or consequence. I hope that is not the case.

Because if it is, we are all living in a meaningless world without true justice. And that would be a hell of a thing.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Happy Thanksgiving

2025-11-26T08:21:00Z

Happy Thanksgiving to all, hope you can relax a bit. Here are some late November musings from the No Spin Zone.

In my whole life, I have never seen a human being sit in front of a television set and actually WATCH the Thanksgiving Day Parade. They might glance at it, but people riding on floats, waving - no! Giant Snoopy balloons? Why? The Rockettes? Don’t know anyone who has paid to see them. Legs up, legs down. You can watch that at the health club.

Eating is another matter. Just about everyone likes Thanksgiving dinner. This year, the turkey is less expensive than last year. Good. And now comes a study from the Campbell’s food company about which sides are most popular in the land of the free. Top five: Stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, Green Bean casserole.

Mac and cheese? How does that tie in? Gooey carbs. The Puritans would scorn that dish. I like turnips, a vegetable with substance.

So, here’s hoping you have plenty for which to be thankful. Some folks don’t. But most Americans are fortunate just to live here, and most everyone in the world knows it.

From the Mayflower to Today

2025-11-25T08:01:00Z

If the Puritans had a crystal ball, they might have insisted the Mayflower turn around and head back to merry ol’ England, which wasn’t merry at all. In fact, it was downright chilly to anyone who didn’t sing with the king. No way the fanatically religious Puritans were singing with anyone.

In 1622, Massachusetts things were kind of dark and foreboding. A little like today. Lots of angst and confusion in the air. Not a lot of tranquility and understanding.

Half of the Mayflower passengers died within a year of disembarking. Life was tough, food scarce, no central heating. Challenges loomed every day.

Now we have heat, and it costs some money. So does food, amusements, insurance. Our wallets get a workout.

But it’s worth it because we are still a free people, and opportunity beckons. That’s my theme this Thanksgiving week. Yes, things can get crazy, but we’ll get through it. However, the next year will not be easy, as many things will happen.

Just like with the long-ago Puritans. But we certainly have more fun. And don’t have to wear those hats.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Eudemonia

2025-11-24T15:54:00Z

As Thanksgiving approaches, a new study out of New York University puts a bit of bitter in the sweet potato pie. It says that most Americans value “eudemonia” above looking out for their family.

Yes, I know. What the deuce is eudemonia?

Simply put: it’s a Greek term meaning pursuit of self-interest; leisure, self-care, pleasure.

So it’s off to grandmother’s house we go, unless there’s a fun party available.

The study makes sense. The internet has caused a massive shift away from the “public good” and towards individual gratification. Outside world? Why bother? Trivial social media pursuits supply endless diversions from real-world challenges.

Like quirky family people. Why do we need them? Not worth the trip.

Luckily, most Americans hang on to some semblance of family tradition, but that is receding, and we don’t need a study to see it. Even The Addams Family understands that clan ties strengthen character.

Eudemonia? Save it for New Year’s Eve.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Youth Spending

2025-11-21T08:00:00Z

In my little town, to crib a lyric from Paul Simon, there is a brigade of teenagers running around with debit cards given to them by their parents. The urchins never see the bills, so it’s a lark to buy $15 sandwiches and $14 smoothies. Maybe a latte chaser from Starbucks for dessert.

The indulgent adults simply pay the monthly bills, grateful their kids are not in the legalized pot store until age 18. Of course, the debit card will cover that, too.

The real bill for such parental indulgence will drop on their offspring around age 25 when they have to use their own money to buy overpriced stuff. Not so easy when a beginner’s paycheck goes up against a Mocha Grande.

The term “living within your means” is becoming obsolete as immediate gratification is fostered by distracted parents and an apathetic public education system.

The land of milk and honey has become the land of lobster salad and coffee.

The false promise of free rides is taking deep root in our society. The socialists have noticed, even as the young people swipe away. Yes, America is still a land of plenty, but earning your perks the old-fashioned way is on the decline.

Or am I wrong?

Enjoy the weekend.

President Trump, the Press, and My Time as a Reporter

2025-11-20T08:49:00Z

President Trump's relationship with the American press is sometimes perplexing. He continues to give access, even as many members of the media continue to be adversarial to him. It's likely, the President enjoys jousting with reporters.

I spoke about this, and the President's interaction with ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce on WABC with Sid Rosenberg.

Epstein Mania

2025-11-19T14:54:00Z

Epstein mania is sweeping the country. As you may know, the House voted 427 to one in favor of releasing Justice Department data on the now-dead sex offender. The lone dissenting vote was a Texas guy who apparently doesn’t have cable TV. Now, the legal petition will go to the Senate, where it will pass as well. Then, President Trump will sign the legislation.

So what, you may ask? Well, a new Morning Consult poll says that 60 percent of the American public believes Donald Trump was in cahoots with Epstein or something.

The released data most likely will not crystallize anything, but it won’t matter because people believe what they want to believe. Facts have little relevance in a time of unbridled social media, where standards do not exist.

I know you’ve heard it before, but if President Trump did anything untoward in conjunction with Epstein, the Biden White House would have released it faster than Hunter Biden could cash a check.

Nevertheless, the hysteria will play out, and even if nothing is revealed by the “files,” folks will hold on to their notions.

Another vivid example of fair play disappearing in the land of the free. And be assured, that will come back to haunt us.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Fight Against Cartels

2025-11-18T08:00:00Z

After decades of experiencing horrendous violence, the Mexican people are finally demonstrating against their government’s impotence in fighting against the drug cartels.

As we write in “Confronting Evil,” Cartel leaders have amassed billions while murdering at will and, of course, sending poison to the USA and other countries. In addition, cartel thugs terrorize the Mexican people by extorting businesses and violently attacking any and all opposition.

President Trump has offered to coordinate with Mexico to destroy the cartel leadership. Presidente Claudia Sheinbaum loudly declined.

Why? I believe Ms. Sheinbaum is frightened for her own safety.

There is no other reason, and reasonable people know it. The Mexican government is simply not strong enough to control the drug merchants. And, now, many Mexicans have had enough. They are protesting in the streets.

So, I expect President Trump to take direct action against the cartels. It will be violent. And Sheinbaum should back it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump vs. Meyers

2025-11-17T14:51:00Z

President Trump is demanding that NBC fire the middle-of-the-night guy, Seth Meyers, and I don’t really understand at this point.

Yes, Mr. Meyers uses his program to mock the President in very personal ways. It is not comedy, it’s vitriol.

But Meyers is part of a long list of comedians who do this: Colbert, Kimmel, Jon Stewart, Joy Behar, Trevor Noah, John Oliver, and the Muppets.

I made up the Muppets thing up, but since they originated on PBS, the puppets are suspect.

But here’s the thing: Loathing the President has not helped any of those entertainers, not even a little. The marketplace is saturated with Trump hatred, and most Americans are tired of it.

Can we just get some witty puns or something?

At this point, all functioning adults have made a decision on President Trump: pro, con, or indifferent. They don’t need to stay up all night to hear Seth pile on.

But fire him? Why bother? The entertainment culture will just spit out another Seth. Right?

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Keeping an Eye on Putin

2025-11-14T08:41:00Z

Putin’s been quiet lately, and that tells me the Trump sanctions are biting him. This week, Moscow said it wants to restart negotiations with the Ukrainians, but few are even reporting that stuff anymore.

If you read ”Confronting Evil,” you will learn that bad Vlad lives in a world of violence and treachery. It’s all he’s ever known; nonstop mayhem since childhood.

However, I still believe President Trump has a chance to secure a ceasefire in Ukraine. The brutal winter is just beginning, and that will bog down ground fighting.

Keep your eye on some kind of Christmas detente. The bloody war has worn everyone out. Putin’s the only person who can stop it.

He might.

Enjoy the weekend.

Leaked Epstein Emails

2025-11-13T08:00:00Z

Smear alert! Once again, Trump haters are spreading a weak story trying to tie the President to the heinous Jeffrey Epstein.

This garbage has been going on for months, aided by a corrupt media that has absolutely no standards of behavior.

Last March, the President asked me in the Oval Office about releasing Justice Department information on Epstein. I replied that the American public has the right to know about solid data linking powerful people to the abuser, but unverified stuff should not be made public. That’s because of likely damage to individuals who might be completely innocent of wrongdoing.

Epstein knew a lot of folks.

Now, a leaked and nebulous email chain by Epstein to a guy named Michael Wolff does exactly what I feared.

For years, Wolff has made money trying to harm Donald Trump and his family. Epstein was apparently angry about being banned from Mar-a-Lago by Trump, so Wolff was trying to exploit that but came up with zero.

Doesn’t matter. The innuendo is what the Trump-haters want. Truth is not imperative. Another pathetic example of modern “news gathering.”

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Comedy Then and Now

2025-11-12T08:20:00Z

Appeared with Dana Carvey and David Spade on their podcast this week in support of “Confronting Evil.” I like those guys and miss the days when they, along with Dennis Miller, Norm MacDonald, Adam Sandler, and others, delivered crisp, witty satire without malice.

We talked a bit about Saturday Night Live and late-night television, which have both changed dramatically. Today, many comics make their money playing to an ideological crew, so the material is largely partisan and often mean-spirited.

Easy targets abound, especially President Trump.

You may remember that Mr. Carvey did a hilarious Joe Biden imitation on SNL. Brilliant. No dark undertones. All powerful people deserve to be lampooned. However, the Colberts and Kimmels have left the comedy business, preferring to damage their political targets, not just tweak them.

Generally speaking, Americans don’t like the hate stuff. Maybe the fringe does, but not the masses. The TV ratings prove that statement.

I am fortunate to have seen excellent comedy at its peak.

Hope it returns someday.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Trump's $2,000 Idea

2025-11-11T08:00:00Z

President Trump, floating the idea of a $2,000 direct tariff payment to Americans, obviously reflects his concerns over high consumer prices. But there are a number of important concepts attached to this.

First, it is giving away free stuff, which is exactly what the Democrats are selling. However, the funds from foreign deals pay for the largesse, so shouldn't working Americans benefit from that? After all, our hard-earned money buys foreign goods, and the President is now charging countries to access the American consumer pot of gold.

I am a hard-working guy, but I don't want the two grand. Give it to someone who needs it, not me. There are millions of Americans who, through no fault of their own, require assistance. But here's another, however. There are also millions of lazy grifters who want a free ride.

Tough for any government to sort the two groups out. But we should try.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Anti-Semitism

2025-11-10T14:58:00Z

Anti-semitism is not being reported accurately, so now I will have to do it. I began my analysis on Bill Maher’s show by saying that responsible media people are not obligated to feature hatred peddled by miscreants. Why bother creating that forum? It never ends, and awful people get the exposure they crave.

Then there is institutional anti-semitism. It exists and has to be exposed. I will do that on my YouTube channel on Monday. Hope you watch.

The history of hatred towards Jews spans three thousand years! The subject is both incomprehensible and frightening. As always, we will give you fact-based analysis and perspective.

This is important because many Americans, perhaps most, have no idea what anti-semitism actually is. It is not taught in schools nor accurately reported in the media.

That’s why I’m flagging you to the YouTube commentary. Please let me know what you think. Bill@BillOReilly.com.

Big No Spin News this evening.

Pope Leo & Immigration

2025-11-07T08:00:00Z

Pope Leo is weighing in on U.S. immigration and drug policy, and, just like with his predecessor Pope Francis, lots of folks are upset.

Why?

Both men see the world through a theological prism as they are mandated to do. Popes are not members of secular bodies; they are exclusively “spiritual” people.

Catholicism is a fairly simple religion. Love God (who created you) and love your neighbor as yourself. Yes, there are rules in place to guide the billions who believe that Jesus is God, but essentially the faith is designed to alleviate suffering and promote peace.

I would love to interview Pope Leo, whom I believe is a good man. My first question would be, “Is it morally wrong to enforce U.S. immigration law”? I may be sounding like a Pharisee here, but I would really like an answer to that. Deportations are part of the immigration law passed by Congress.

Second question: “If evil people are sending poison to countries, can the authorities use deadly force to stop that heinous action that has literally killed hundreds of thousands of people”?

Third question: “Should the Catholic Church use its influence to protect innocent folks from the drug scourge and a general breakdown of law and order?” Kindness and compassion should be paramount, but are they above social order?

That might be an interesting discussion with the American Pope. I fervently wish it could happen.

Democrats' Weakness

2025-11-06T08:42:00Z

The major weakness of the Democratic Party continues to be an astounding lack of vision. Even with the nation angry over the high cost of living, the left has no solution. California is totally run by democrats, and it is beset with billions in debt, and social problems like homelessness are overwhelming there.

Problem-solving has also been overwhelmed by ideological divisions. Compromise, once a hallmark of the USA, is almost obsolete. America’s political system is in major trouble.

Social media and corporate corruption play a major role in all of this, as those elected to make things better are brutalized in the court of public opinion. I have been dealing with partisan attacks for 30 years and will never surrender to them.

But others in the public eye, understandably, do not want constant conflict. It’s debilitating.

President Trump is strong enough to continue on, but he’s a rare exception. Most politicians fold when the attacks mount.

So that’s where we are. Don’t know if there’s a solution.

Yesterday's Election

2025-11-05T14:58:00Z

Republican voters were not as motivated as Democrats were in yesterday’s election. That’s pretty much the story. Because President Trump wasn’t directly involved, the GOP got hammered in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City.

Next year at this time, Mr. Trump’s legacy will be on the line in the midterms, so it should be a different look.

The country is about equally divided at this point, so the candidates' performance is vital. In New York, Zohran Mamdani was a much better presence than Andrew Cuomo, on the personality front. Younger voters who have no idea what socialism actually is simply saw an energetic guy who would give them things.

The ghost of Fidel Castro.

In addition, cities like New York and Los Angeles now have so many foreign-born voters that American traditions like self-reliance and competition are losing strength.

Finally, the TV nitwits who say yesterday’s vote is a harbinger of November 2026 are wrong as usual. Many things will happen over the next 12 months. The country will be much different next November.
Count on it.

See you tonight on the No Spin News.

Democrats vs. Republicans

2025-11-04T08:00:00Z

There is always more to a story than is reported, and the government shutdown is an excellent example of that. Here we have the two parties blaming each other for stopping the federal money flow.

And both Democrats and Republicans are doing that. The division is so wide it’s tough to compromise.

The left in America wants a massive uptick in Obamacare spending and will not approve federal spending until that happens.

The right believes Obamacare expenses are already insane and will not agree to pump more than a trillion dollars more into it.

In the long run, the Democrats' goal is turning the entire healthcare industry over to the government.

But if that ever happens, many doctors will detach from government healthcare and offer private services that only affluent Americans can afford.

Thus, the wealthy will get top-shelf care, while everyone else will have to settle.

That’s what happened in Great Britain.

Remember, the government can’t force medical providers to do anything.

Got it?

60 Minutes Interview

2025-11-03T08:57:00Z

Not much new in the 60 Minutes interview with President Trump. Norah O’Donnell asked predictable questions, and Mr. Trump swatted them away like annoying insects.

Very little research behind Ms. O’Donnell’s line of inquiry; the government shutdown is Trump’s fault, ICE overdoes it, people will suffer if Obamacare is not extended.

The usual corporate media stuff.

For his part, the President relied on well-worn answers because the questions were predictable. He didn’t break a sweat.

The way you have to interview Chief Executives is to set up a specific situation. Example: When I asked Mr. Trump how he would deal with a “killer” like Putin. You have to keep questioning short and provocative. Fact-based. Like, how do you KNOW the boats the U.S. are blowing up are drug-involved?

Ms. O’Donnell is a true believer in the liberal cause. I know her. She’s not corrupt like many of her peers, but does not think outside the establishment box.

I learned nothing from the interview. If you did, please let me know.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Happy Halloween

2025-10-31T07:18:00Z

It is Halloween time 2025, and here’s what we should be scared of, in the spirit of the season.

- Canada (Toronto Blue Jays) getting revenge by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, possibly on Halloween night. Payback for the Trump administration-51st state thing. But even worse is Justin Trudeau kidnapping Katy Perry for a round of dates! Are you kidding me, Katy? I believe Post Malone is available, but it’s hard to tell because of all the tats. Let’s “reimagine” this entire thing.

- If the new White House ballroom is a hit, no iconic building will be safe. Carnegie Hall could get a breakfast nook. Faneuil Hall in Boston, a hot tub? This trend is frightening.

- Another Rolling Stones tour. This one opens in an outdoor venue, Highgate Cemetery, just in case.

- Six Flags Over Putin. Family fun with brand new rides: Seizing Crimea. Getting tossed out of an eighth-story window. Having your private jet explode in midair. A blast, that one.

- Night of the Living Pelosi. Where Nancy leads an army of trans-zombies demanding free healthcare. That one will keep me up.

So, have fun on Halloween. Be nice to the kids!

Ballroom Backlash

2025-10-30T07:24:00Z

Although President Trump is racking up a number of good trade deals in Asia, his detractors remain crazed about the under-construction White House ballroom. They don’t like it even though corporate money is paying the freight.

I’m agnostic on the project. It’s free, so if the White House benefits from an opulent space, fine. I understand President Trump admires the grandiose.

The issue is small ball, just another reason to pound Trump. Writing in The Washington Post, anti-Trump Guy George Will says this: “Donald Trump, who often makes even defensible actions grating, acted on the White House with unapologetic unilateralism.”

Well, I don’t want to annoy old George, but all Presidents do that. Harry Truman, for example, upgraded constantly as he described in 1950: “I found four chairs that Lincoln had used for his cabinet in the attic … I had them restored, put them in the Lincoln room, and will put them back when the house is restored.”

Presidents have the power to change the White House. Trump just does it bigger. What else is new?

The Media's Downfall

2025-10-29T07:00:00Z

Americans have lost trust in the corporate media, and now the question becomes: Is that forever?

CBS News is being renovated like an old barn. The progressive journalists and management, which held power for years, are being replaced by more moderate personnel. 60 Minutes, in particular, will be almost totally revamped.

Another question is: will that bring more viewers to CBS News? Not likely, in my opinion. Younger Americans have almost completely walked away from TV news as well as newspapers. The average age for cable news watchers is around 70 years old.

Hello, pharmaceutical ads. Have you ever seen people happier for having diabetes? They even have a special dance going on.

Anyway, even if viewers don’t flock back, it is worth at least trying to report accurately on television. Right? Just for the sake of honesty.

Here’s hoping it happens across the board.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Awarding Biden

2025-10-28T07:53:00Z

God help me, I’m going to criticize Joe Biden again. Why? The guy’s gone, and nobody’s looking for him. But I can’t stop with the former President. It’s a compulsive disorder or something.

Last Sunday, Mr. Biden received a lifetime achievement award from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston. Okay, fine. The liberals love Joe. Why, I’m not sure. As a senator, Biden was a tough guy on crime and opposed busing as a tool for student integration.

Kamala Harris took great exception to that, as you may remember.

But now, Joe Biden is a liberal icon.

Accepting the award, Mr. Biden said this: “I know the idea of America depends on our respect for the institutions that govern and guarantee a free society. It depends on a presidency with limited powers.”

Uh, no, Joe, that’s crazy.

The Founders wanted strong, assertive presidents. Limited powers? Washington, Lincoln, Jackson, the Roosevelt’s all wielded enormous power. Even James K. Polk used his authority to expand the nation from coast to coast. Polk did that by issuing orders. Congress stood by and watched.

So, as I suspected, President Biden has no idea what the Executive Branch is empowered to do, and that is to protect the people and promote prosperity. The President is supposed to lead on those things, Joe, not stroll around seeking limitations.

As I wrote in “Confronting the Presidents,” Joe Biden was the second-worst Chief Executive in American history, and he’s lucky James Buchanan was such a coward.

I hope he enjoys the award. He certainly didn’t earn it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

An Important Week

2025-10-27T14:48:00Z

While the Trump despisers continue to obsess over the White House renovations and various provocative statements the President makes at least eight times a day, perhaps the most important week in Mr. Trump’s presidency is unfolding.

China is the key to America’s future and probably the world’s as well.

The Beijing government is annoying, no question. Somewhat like Donald Trump, the Chinese leadership cultivates controversy, throwing its weight around in a variety of negative ways.

China enables the war criminal Putin to continue his insane Ukrainian invasion. Beijing terrorizes Taiwan for little gain. The Chinese are building a huge militaristic infrastructure despite having no international threats.

Beijing allows the precursors of fentanyl to be made on Chinese soil. It arms Iran, it denies due process to its 1.5 billion citizens.

These are not nice boys.

But somehow, President Trump might be able to tamp a lot of this down with two exceptions: Taiwan and the Chinese police state.

When I traveled to Beijing last May, I presented a new attitude to the Politburo: “a partnership with the USA for peace and prosperity.”

If the two most powerful countries on earth would work together to mitigate foolish violence and economic chaos, the world would quickly become much more stable. There is no need for Beijing to support the psychopath Putin or to be involved in the narcotics business.

The Chinese chieftains can be persuaded to change tactics if good trade deals are offered.

I did debrief President Trump about my conversations in Beijing and remain hopeful that he and President Xi will come to a positive agreement in South Korea.

This is the most important story right now, by far. Someone alert the media.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Veteran Entertainment Observer Reviews 'Confronting Evil'

2025-10-25T07:00:00Z

Bill O’Reilly’s Confronting Evil is not merely a book; it is an exhortation—a trumpet call for moral sanity in an age gone soft with equivocation. At a time when the West dithers between relativism and retreat, O’Reilly strides forth like an uninvited prophet at a garden party, insisting—impolitely, urgently—that evil exists, that it must be named, and that it must be fought.

O’Reilly’s prose is, as ever, brisk and muscular, his arguments clear as polished glass. He writes with the conviction of a man who has seen the moral corrosion of appeasement too many times to remain silent. His target is not merely the terrorist or tyrant, but the modern mind itself—so clouded by self-doubt that it mistakes cowardice for compassion.

The book’s genius lies in its moral symmetry: O’Reilly does not preach vengeance; he preaches vigilance. Evil, he reminds us, is not an abstraction to be analyzed in seminar rooms but a living contagion that spreads whenever good men surrender their sense of right and wrong to bureaucrats or intellectual faddists.

One senses the ghost of Churchill in O’Reilly’s cadence, the steel of Reagan in his insistence that the price of liberty is eternal courage. There is, too, a pastoral undercurrent—an appeal to the conscience of a people who have grown accustomed to the narcotic of moral neutrality.

In Confronting Evil, O’Reilly calls upon the reader to remember what civilization once knew instinctively: that truth is not negotiable, that virtue demands defense, and that peace purchased at the expense of principle is a counterfeit.

It is a book both unsettling and necessary—an eloquent reminder that moral clarity, though unfashionable, is civilization’s last line of defense.

Evil Doers

2025-10-24T07:14:00Z

“Confronting Evil” continues to sell briskly, and I would like to thank everyone who is supporting the book, including President Trump.

One of the questions I hear is logical: what ties the 15 miscreants I write about together? The answer is this: every one of the evil doers affects our lives today.

A great example is the Roman Emperor Caligula. A depraved despot, the guy presided over the most powerful nation in the ancient world. Not only did he mismanage everything, he encouraged the Roman citizenry to embrace barbarism and social disorder.

The result, of course, was the eventual collapse of Rome.

In the USA, we don’t have psychopaths like Caligula in charge, but we do have severely misguided people wielding power. For example, Zohran Mamdani may soon run New York City. He believes the police are a bigger threat than the criminal element, and that white affluent people should pay higher taxes.

That kind of leadership will harm New Yorkers just as Caligula damaged Rome. It’s different strokes for different folks, but the warning is clear to clear-thinking people.

Sadly, that group seems to be quickly shrinking.

Enjoy the weekend.

This Year's World Series

2025-10-23T07:12:00Z

The World Series this year has some interesting political implications. The Toronto Blue Jays are not only a baseball team, but a symbol of Canadian grievance against the Trump administration.

You may remember the brief controversy over a possible 51st state put forth by the President. That would be Canada. The problem is most Canadians like their country and want to keep it. Kind of like Obamacare with your doctor. Eh?

And so the Blue Jays are playing for national honor despite having just two Canadian citizens on the team. But they are based in Toronto, so they are “standing guard for thee.” Or something.

I find it hard to root for the Los Angeles Dodgers, an organization that honored the anti-Catholic group “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” Yes, I know Shohei Ohtani had nothing to do with that, but still.

Also, I like that Canadians are proud of their country. Loyalty is declining in this world.

So, I’m going with the Jays, understanding they will most likely lose. The boys of perpetual summer are rolling, and Ohtani has dinner reservations in Tokyo come November. Might be a short series.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Karine Jean-Pierre Defends Biden

2025-10-22T07:54:00Z

Karine Jean-Pierre has a new book out, and we wish her well in the competitive world of publishing. Kamala Harris’s book is selling, so maybe that’s a good omen for Joe Biden’s former spokesperson.

There is some caution here, however. Karine has told interviewers, all of them friendly, that President Biden was always engaged, never impaired.

Uh-oh.

Most Americans, including Democratic chieftains, knew Mr. Biden was on the ropes. The lone debate with Donald Trump proved it, as the then-president was absolutely incoherent at times.

But Karine Jean-Pierre can’t admit that because if she did, that would prove she misled everyone while working in the White House.

So, to quote Elvis, she’s caught in a trap!

Many Americans know propaganda when they hear it, and that’s what both political parties now embrace. Say something enough times, people start to believe it, like President Trump is a king.

At one time, Karine Jean-Pierre was a powerful White House presence. But there is a good chance she was actually a court jester. Seems like it, anyway.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Not How Kings Work

2025-10-21T07:00:00Z

An appeals court in San Francisco has ruled that the Trump administration can legally send 200 National Guard personnel to Portland, Oregon to protect ICE agents.

Here’s the question. How does that decision fit into the “No Kings” protest? Quick answer - it doesn’t.

The anti-Trump cadres are trying to convince the world that President Trump operates outside the rules of democracy.

That’s not true, but since when does the mob concern itself with truth?

An absolute monarchy doesn’t include “appeals.” The King decides what will happen and that’s it. Read the chapter on the horrific Henry the VIII in my book “Confronting Evil.”

President Trump learned to disdain the glacial Washington bureaucracy during his first term. He has now marshaled the power of the Executive branch to solve problems as he sees fit. However, the courts can restrain that.

For example, the Constitutional mandate of “birthright citizenship” is not going to change no matter how much the President wants it to. But using federal power to impose order and protection will be upheld.

The King thing is lazy and dumb. There is a logic to the Constitution that protects Americans. And that remains.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump vs. the Progressive Movement

2025-10-20T07:02:00Z

As predicted here, the far left cadres have stepped up their anti-Trump activities after the hostage release. That is driving the progressives crazy because any success by the Trump administration makes critics of the President look foolish.

President Biden tried but failed in the Middle East, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and China. Few, if any, foreign policy positives came out of the Biden-Harris administration. I’m not a soothsayer, but it’s almost impossible to believe a President Harris could have gotten the hostages released or blunted Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The No Kings protest didn’t amount to much, but the lefties did not embrace violence, so let’s applaud that. Nothing wrong with peaceful dissent.

President Trump has three more years to achieve historical greatness, and his critics can’t really affect what happens unless the democrats win the midterms next year.

Once again, the voters will decide whether it’s Trump or the progressive movement they want to lead. Can’t predict what will happen. Can tell you many things will unfold over the next 12 months.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

MEDIAITE: O'Reilly Eviscerates Trump's Pentagon Press Crackdown

2025-10-18T19:26:00Z

Bill O’Reilly blasted new press restrictions at the Pentagon, using his own background to break down why the policy is the opposite of “freedom of the press.”

On the No Spin News, O’Reilly joined others in the press in protesting Department of Defense Pete Hegseth’s new rule requiring press outlets to sign an agreement and limiting their reporting freedom. President Donald Trump previously expressed some skepticism about the policy, but threw out his support earlier this week.

The Government Shutdown

2025-10-17T07:07:00Z

Here’s what the government shutdown is all about, so please tell the callow TV pundits to shut up and listen.

Faced with a number of successes by the Trump administration, the Democratic Party believes it needs to “stand up” to the strongman President in a dramatic way.

Last time around, the Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, voted to extend government spending and took holy hell for it. Schumer doesn’t want to repeat that.

The Dems believe healthcare is a weak situation for Trump and the GOP, so they have chosen that issue as their cudgel; provide more federal spending, or we will “resist” the spending resolution.

Republican leadership has already agreed to health care negotiations, but that’s not enough to strike a deal. Schumer wants “guarantees” of increased spending.

Of course, the GOP leadership will never agree to what they call “extortion so the shutdown goes on.

This will get settled, but the healthcare divide will not. Dems want the federal government to run the show like Canada. Republicans will never support that.

Meanwhile, hardworking Americans are caught in the middle.

Enjoy the weekend. Stay well!

A Week in Washington, D.C.

2025-10-16T15:31:00Z

Spending the week in Washington is like going to an endless Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of chat, bloviating, posturing.

And ever since John and Abigail Adams took up residence in the White House, things have been this way here. Many, many meetings.

I am a man of many words, too many in the opinion of some, but I like to get my point across with some impact. Run-on sentences are not my thing. In some meetings, I even forget what the topic is! Talk is cheap in DC; everything else is expensive.

The town is definitely safer since President Trump brought in the National Guard and emasculated the local authorities, who have little interest in enforcing the law. There were three murders last week, but overall, the violence is down significantly.

Power is the product here, and the Trump administration is wielding it in a flamboyant way. So far, the President is winning, but he has three long years left.

Obviously, anything could happen.

And when it does, Washington will talk about it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

A New Sheriff in Town

2025-10-15T14:09:00Z

On Sunday, I filed a column comparing the style of President Trump to that of previous presidents Andrew Jackson and Theodore Roosevelt. The point is that Mr. Trump is governing as a “strong man” leader who gets things done using naked power.

The Middle East chieftains like that because they govern the same way, without the Constitutional restraints we have in America. The Chinese respect unbridled authority, and so does Putin, who still idolizes the mass murderer Stalin to this day.

But here in the USA, millions do not like authoritarian leadership. Even if it stays within legal bounds. The “woke” and “Me, Too” movements were dedicated to bringing down male power. Politicians became terrified.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden did not lead with swagger. Neither did George W. Bush. They were all rather conventional and, at times, timid.

Donald Trump completely rejects that approach. He is the king of swagger as well as a very impatient man. Get it done. We’ll find a way to keep it legal. That’s his philosophy.

It doesn’t always work out, but in less than a year, President Trump has shaken up the entire world.

There is indeed a new sheriff in town, and he’s in no mood to avoid action. No caution zone. And the country might just be the better for it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News from Washington.

Fair Reporting

2025-10-14T07:19:00Z

President Trump praised the partisan media on the Air Force One plane ride back from the Middle East. He was pleased that the American press actually covered the Gaza ceasefire in a fair way.

The question is: Will the media detente continue?

The answer is - No, it will not.

The leftwing media has far too much invested in harming Donald Trump to ever stop the bashing. Most of the media chieftains are avowed liberals, and they will continue to loathe him.

However, there is some self-preservation going on. I have it on good authority that CNN talent was told not to criticize Trump during the hostage release story. Even a zealot like Abby Phillip backed off, suggesting that Barack Obama give Mr. Trump some credit, which the former President did not do.

Remember, the Trump hatred only goes so far. Paychecks trump politics, so to speak.

Soon, the attacks on the President will ramp up again; ICE is the Gestapo, Comey is a victim, that kind of stuff.

But at least Donald Trump got a little relief.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Gaza-Hostage Coverage

2025-10-13T14:11:00Z

Not much coverage of the Gaza-hostage situation over the weekend. Important story, obviously, but not one the anti-Trump media wants to tell.

It is clear the Arab world sees President Trump as a “strong man” leader, something I spelled out in my Sunday column.

But more importantly, the Arabs believe Mr. Trump is good for business, so they are backing him against Hamas and other terrorist outfits. In the Middle East, money talks, always has. The Arab posture should help as Mr. Trump gets closer to tense economic negotiations with China.

Israel has to go along with the ceasefire because the USA is almost its only ally at this point. A return of the hostages is a moral victory for Tel Aviv, which can effectively respond to any terrorist display in the future.

The leftist American media doesn’t like Israel much and wants nothing to do with any positive developments that might help Trump.

So that’s the situation as we head into mid-October. See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Hardest-Working President

2025-10-10T07:33:00Z

President Trump keeps up an amazing pace. Like him or not, that’s a fact. Now it looks like he’s engineered a calm down in Gaza, where hostages held for two years will be released.

CNN won’t like it, but obviously, any compromise in the Middle East is good for the world. Mr. Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and if he doesn’t, the Norwegians should shut the entire exposition down.

The question is: how long can the President continue on this incredible pace? Doctors will examine him today (Friday), and the country should hope all is well. In June 2026, Mr. Trump will turn 80. Pretty incredible.

By my historical calculations, Donald Trump is the hardest-working President in history. That’s a good thing. Someone alert the media.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

The Worst Governor

2025-10-09T07:00:00Z

J. B. Pritzker. I think he’s the worst Governor in the country. Makes Gavin Newsom look like John Hancock. The guy is awful.

For six and a half years, he’s sat in Springfield, Illinois, and done absolutely nothing as about 4,000 Chicagoans have been murdered. Pritzker could have called in the Illinois National Guard to assist the Chicago P.D. in dismantling the drug gangs that commit most of the homicides. Did you know that 80 percent of the murder victims are African-Americans?

But, no, old J.B. was otherwise occupied, raising taxes and spending money on windmills. What a guy.

Now, President Trump has embarrassed Pritzker by sending federal authorities to Chicago in order to impose order.

The Governor’s incoherent response is to say Mr. Trump wants to “rig” the election in 2026. Yes, Chicago is familiar with rigged votes, but J.B. is living in the Twilight Zone. He’s traveling in another dimension.

You didn’t do your job, Governor. Simple as that. Too many coffins. That’s the blunt truth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News!

The Shutdown Remains

2025-10-08T07:00:00Z

So working together is out. Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill have their orders, and cooperation isn’t in the mix. You might think both parties would be interested in reopening the government.

Not very.

There is blame everywhere. The Dems despise Trump, so everything he does is wrong. No compromise. The GOP believes the radical left will destroy any chance of a Democrat resurgence in the midterms next year, so why get in the way of that? Just continue to antagonize the lefties so they act stupid.

Meanwhile, we the people, are waiting for food prices to come down and would like to see some problem-solving legislation, like a new immigration law. The one on the books is from 1952, for crying out loud.

But that’s not going to happen anytime soon. Instead, we’ll get more Hitler, Epstein, gotcha, getcha.

Hey, why not shut that nonsense down? We can dream.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

The Horror of October 7

2025-10-07T07:32:00Z

The horror of October 7th is well remembered by those of us who believe justice is important in this world. I open my new book, “Confronting Evil,” by putting the reader in the small Israeli town that Hamas attacked for absolutely no reason. After you read what happened two years ago, you will understand evil, and that vision is very important.

The attack on 9/11 is similar. What gains were made by bin Laden and al Qaeda? How did Hamas do after slaughtering innocent Jews 23 years later?

The answer is that nothing was gained. Massive death and destruction followed both cowardly attacks. I guess that’s what the terrorists want - violence for the sake of violence. No cause justifies that.

Misguided souls who sympathize with terror groups usually have their own individual problems. Steer clear of those people because they enable evil in this world.

Those who pursue peace and justice should be respected and acknowledged. Too often, we don’t do that. But it is imperative for all good people to mobilize against the horror in this world.

And the first week of October is a perfect time to start.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Crisis in Chicago

2025-10-06T07:14:00Z

Chicago will lose its foolish showdown with the Trump administration. This weekend, a crazed woman with a rifle in her car tried to run over ICE agents, who then shot her. Almost immediately, the President asked Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to provide National Guard troops to protect federal authorities, but the leftist fanatic Pritzker again refused. Why?

Because old J.B. says the Guard is NOT needed. Do the people threatening ICE agents have to have hand grenades? Mortars? What exactly is the tipping point, Governor?

The Constitution clearly states that when state officials will not enforce public safety statutes, the federal government has the power to step in. So, the legal outcome of this controversy is not in doubt. However, Pritzker doesn’t care about any of that. He simply wants to placate his far-left supporters, and if people have to die, they have to die.

As everyone knows, Chicago is a killing field for young African American men. The drug gangs have been murdering at will for years. J.B. has done little to stop the madness or discourage criminal migrants from terrorizing the city as well.

The whole situation is shameful. The feds have to act.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Fighting the Illegal Drug Industry

2025-10-03T09:58:00Z

It is somewhat surprising that President Trump is being so aggressive against the illegal narcotics industry. No other president took that position. Ronald Reagan trotted out his wife Nancy to “just say no.” Joe Biden just said yes as he gutted border enforcement leading to record amounts of dangerous drugs being smuggled into the USA.

President Bush the Elder did invade Panama for about ten minutes to arrest its dope dealer president, Manuel Noriega. That slime ball wound up in an American penitentiary.

That could happen to Venezuelan tyrant Maduro who allegedly is making millions allowing South American cocaine to flow through his country. Trump sees a way to destabilize Maduro by attacking his drug ships. More military action is coming.

Mexico is a different story. The President is not anxious to embarrass Claudia Sheinbaum because of trade and migrant deals. But eventually, cartel leaders will be targeted by the U.S. military because there is no other way to hold them accountable for the evil they do.

The fact that Presidente Sheinbaum does not want that to happen is shocking. How many more people have to die from narcotics, madam?

President Trump is doing a good thing by seriously fighting the drug kingpins. Of course, the corrupt media will not acknowledge that. But I will.

Go get them!

Enjoy the weekend.

The Enemy Within

2025-10-02T07:38:00Z

President Trump believes there is a quote “enemy within” that he must deal with. That enemy is the radical left.

Those who oppose the President say this is just another example of an authoritarian leader trying to destroy freedom of speech. Dissenting points of view.

So let’s examine without emotion.

The Progressive left generally believes America is not a noble country and never has been. They want total change, a more socialist economic system, a less punitive justice system, DEI policies, and open immigration.

Is that point of view dangerous?

I think it is. But it’s allowed under the First Amendment.

What is not legal is lawbreaking, rioting, and promoting violence.

President Trump is certainly within his authority to confront those things.

But he should provide backup for what he is doing.

During the Vietnam War, there were violent dissidents in the USA: the Black Panthers, the Weatherman, the Symbionese Liberation Army.

The FBI was dispatched to deal with them and was largely successful.

Political violence is unacceptable. Decent people know it. And that enemy within must be defeated by Constitutional means.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Soros Money

2025-10-01T07:20:00Z

Justice Department lawyers are looking at 95-year-old George Soros for possible criminal activity. The theory is that old George has donated money to radical left groups that have embraced violence. If charged, Soros could potentially face RICO charges that he funded criminal enterprises.

The Soros lawyers, of course, deny all wrongdoing. And this would be a very difficult case to prove. But George has powerful enemies in Washington.

Born in Hungary, Soros is an American citizen. His estimated wealth stands at $7.5 billion according to Forbes Magazine. Over the years, the financier has given away an estimated $15 billion, mainly to far-left groups. He donated $500,000 to help Joe Biden get elected president, the largest amount Biden received.

The record also shows that George Soros has given substantial money to children’s charities.

The political Soros money has done substantial damage to America. He has funded radical District Attorneys like Kim Foxx in Chicago, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, and George Gascon in Los Angeles. These people have allowed violent crime to surge in their jurisdictions.

I have been reporting on Soros for three decades and still cannot figure out why he wants soft-on-crime policies as well as anti-capitalist people in office.

But he does.

However, that is not a crime, and Soros has a legion of well-paid attorneys protecting him. So, any criminal referral will have to be methodically put together.

Will it happen? Good chance. Get ready.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump vs. the Corporate Media

2025-09-30T07:45:00Z

The high-stakes political cage match these days is not between the Democratic Party and the Trump administration; that’s a sideshow. No, the real power stakes are much more personal; the President against the corporate media chieftains.

That’s what the Jimmy Kimmel confrontation was all about. Disney well understands that Mr. Kimmel has a deep loathing for Mr. Trump and uses his program to try to hurt him. There’s nothing funny about that, and all the “what aboutisms” in the world cannot justify the ceaseless attacks.

So, when Kimmel tried to blame Trump supporters for Charlie Kirk’s murder, an incredibly irresponsible assertion, Disney CEO Bob Iger was forced to suspend the comedian.

Iger, as woke as they come, thought the callousness of Kimmel’s remarks would protect him.

Wrong.

As I exclusively reported last week, Hollywood talent agencies almost immediately threatened Iger. The Wall Street Journal picked up on my reporting yesterday. If Iger didn’t put Kimmel back on the air, many showbiz people would no longer work with Disney.

This is how the entertainment industry works in America. Tow the leftist line or else. President Trump is none too pleased. Expect retaliation.

Eric Adams' Exit

2025-09-29T07:55:00Z

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has dropped out of the race, which will culminate on November 4.

I predicted this would happen almost to the day. It wasn’t a difficult forecast. Few New Yorkers were happy with the mayor’s performance, and he couldn’t raise money. That means he would have to pay the campaign bills himself.

Anyone who knows Mr. Adams also knows that would NEVER happen.

Now, why would anyone care who doesn’t live in New York City?

Well, there’s a communist leading the polling, Zohran Mamdani. He’s 33 years old and has never run anything. So, if he wins, the largest city in the country could collapse, leading to economic consequences for the entire nation.

In addition, violent crime and drug use will surge in New York because Mamdani doesn’t want to enforce the law. He sees the criminal justice system as “racist.”

His main opponent at this point is Andrew Cuomo, who is deeply unpopular.

I can’t predict the vote right now, but I will make a call by Halloween.

Which is fitting.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

James Comey's Indictment

2025-09-26T07:00:00Z

We are researching the federal Grand Jury indictment of former FBI chief James Comey because it’s complicated. I will have the full story for you in Sunday’s column, and it will be fair and precise, unlike most media analysis of the situation.

We already know a few things. The Durham Report on the phony Russian Collusion story excoriated the FBI and, by association, its director James Comey.

The liberal civil servant also used bogus information to obtain federal warrants in order to spy on the Trump campaign. Not debatable, that’s what happened.

Comey also completely screwed up the Hillary Clinton classified information investigation. Embarrassing.

But all of that doesn’t mean James Comey committed a crime. This will not be an easy case to win, and Comey will not enter a plea. In addition, all negative statements about Comey by President Trump will help the defense, which will say a fair trial is impossible.

So, check my Sunday column out for more specifics about this “payback” case. New York Attorney General Letitia James looks like she’ll be next.

Rise of Political Violence

2025-09-25T07:00:00Z

The contagious evil virus has spread to Dallas, where some miscreant shot up an ICE office, killing two migrants. The shooter then committed suicide.

Political violence is obviously on the rise in America, and there’s no real way to stop it. But that doesn’t mean the country rolls over. Most of these violent loons signal their bad intentions, and that should be reported. A simple phone call to your local police, a brief word with the parents of a troubled teenager.

At least you tried.

Most of us are decent people, but a growing minority are not. The internet provides evil with a gathering place. It’s so easy to find violent thoughts in cyberspace.

A few act on those thoughts. No government or society can control that. But we can be alert and vote against those who enable or embrace evil.

That requires your attention and thought. It isn’t easy to confront evil. But it’s imperative.

What Happened to Disney?

2025-09-24T07:00:00Z

The Walt Disney Company is an interesting study. Among the wealthiest corporations on earth, its management seems to be comfortable veering away from the traditional American consumer.

Jimmy Kimmel, The View ladies, George Stephanopoulos, and much of the network's news staff are all ardent leftists. The Entertainment Division, based in Burbank, California, is woke and dismissive of counterpoints of view. Non-liberals are shunned.

In fact, Disney has no conservative voices on display in any of its enterprises.

Add to that the ticket prices for the theme parks. Exorbitant. That effectively denies poor families access. The children can't go because their parents can't afford it.

That does not seem very "progressive" to me. But maybe ideology only goes so far.

It's all about leadership, of course. Disney executives set the prices, approve programming, hire personnel, and the company continues to make mighty profits.

But there's something a bit off here. Disney was built on providing wholesome entertainment to traditional Americans. What happened?

I don't know. But I won't be surprised if big changes descend on Mickey and the crew. When you wish on a progressive star, dreams and profits can quickly turn dark.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Jimmy Kimmel is Back

2025-09-23T07:04:00Z

Well, that was quick. Jimmy K is back, and the Disney Company is, well, confused?

To me, this is not a big deal. I don’t know if Mr. Kimmel defied Disney about the daily Trump hatred or the Mouse folks cheered him on. So, I am in Sgt. Schultz mode on the Disney decision … “I know nothinggggg!”

Not quite.

The record shows that Jimmy K will not book non liberal guests. Not freedom of speech, that. Also, Disney allows The View to do the exact same thing. The Kelly Ripa morning program, identical. I wonder if conservatives can even buy a ticket to a Disney theme park.

The showbiz cabal has completely shut down conservative/traditional points of view on television. Again, isn’t that against freedom of speech? Somebody tell Selena Gomez, who signed an ACLU letter supporting Jimmy K. So did 399 other entertainment people. No mention of the conservative boycott, right ACLU? Why would you provide honest perspective?

Jimmy Kimmel is not a victim. But he doesn’t deserve banishment either. His comments after the Charlie Kirk assassination were dumb. Maybe some community service for Jim.

Putin and Xi are laughing at us. More weakness from the good ol’ USA. Freedom of speech? Hello, Siberia.

Jimmy Kimmel wouldn’t like it there.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Legacy of Charlie Kirk

2025-09-22T13:50:00Z

The legacy of Charlie Kirk is now assigned to history. I’m glad his memorial in Arizona was such a success. It must provide great comfort to his widow and the Kirk family.

There were politics involved in the speeches, but that was in context because Charlie lost his life because of his beliefs. The crowd honoring him had a perfect right to hear his point of view extolled.

Sadly, many Americans simply don’t want to hear opinions other than their own. Never could understand that. I guess it’s born out of insecurity or something. That’s what made Charlie Kirk different. He sought out opposing points of view.

The stunning assassination has altered the political landscape in America as more folks are now paying attention. This will initially help the conservative side because the liberal crew is a bit off balance. Extremism has damaged liberalism in America, no question.

And so we go on. Impossible to predict the next big political story. But it’s coming. Get ready.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Freedom of Speech

2025-09-19T15:14:00Z

People believe what they want to believe. The left in America fervently puts forth that their “freedom of speech” is threatened by President Trump. No amount of debate will ever dissuade them because liberals derive comfort from that point of view.

But what about the truth of the matter? Is that to be considered? Well, it will be in this essay.

First up, the leftist media have been trampling freedom of expression ever since Donald Trump began gathering political power. I know this because, as the bestselling nonfiction author in the world, I have to promote my books to alert folks they are in the marketplace.

Before the Trump era, that was not a problem; I had access to the networks. No longer, and it’s not only me.

Jimmy Kimmel would not book non-liberal guests, nor would Colbert. When Jimmy Fallon recently spoke with Greg Gutfeld, it made headlines because the situation was so rare. The morning network programs exclude almost all conservatives or traditional people. The View totally blackballs non liberals. As does Jane Pauley on the CBS Sunday Morning program.

Conservative commentator Mark Levin has written a series of bestsellers. Have you seen him on the networks? Fox News has some very successful commentators. Any sign of them on The Today Show? Good Morning America? 60 Minutes?

So, the most powerful media companies in the world have totally shut down “speech” that opposes liberalism.

And that’s fine with many on the left. Nothing to see or hear here. Business as usual. Liberal opinion is on display 24/7.

Conservative thoughts? Sorry, we’re closed.

This exclusion is a colossal violation of free speech. Dangerous to the nation. Putin stuff. However, you will not hear this truth spoken on the network talk programs, which are now loudly bemoaning Mr. Kimmel’s exit.

How about some honesty and fairness for a change, network people? Not holding my breath.

Enjoy the weekend.

"Confronting Evil" Hits Number One

2025-09-18T07:00:00Z

Hard work and honesty pays off. “Confronting Evil” is number one on the New York Times bestseller list. That makes 20 of my books in that spot. World record for non-fiction.

Okay, enough self-aggrandizement. Evil is an important subject as the nation mourns Charlie Kirk, and the detestable Putin continues slaughtering innocent people in Ukraine. And then there’s Hamas, which has brought horror onto the Palestinian people. I open the book with the Hamas October 7 atrocity.

We can’t look away, and we cannot distort the truth any longer. There is evil around us. It comes in many forms. It might even be in your house.

Different points of view are not evil. Competing interests aren’t either. But harming others in pursuit of venality, power, and money is evil. And remember, true villains have no remorse.

I learned much from writing this book. I have increased my goal of exposing dangerous behavior. You will learn much if you read the book.

I hope you do.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Patel-Schiff Clash

2025-09-17T07:06:00Z

Appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Kash Patel called militant leftwing Senator Adam Schiff a “liar”, “coward”, and “a disgrace.”

Geez.

At issue was Schiff’s attempt to embarrass Patel over the transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp, to a softer federal prison.

Mr. Patel answered that the Bureau of Prisons ordered the transfer, not him, which is likely true even though the Justice Department did interview Maxwell a few weeks ago.

Patel was smart to call Schiff out despite the validity of the question. The Senator has a long record of hateful statements directed at President Trump and his supporters. Schiff also heavily promoted the Russian Collusion hoax.

It is obvious that Senator Schiff is abusing his position in Washington to undermine anything Trump. The people in California who elected him might not care, but abuse of power is a serious situation.

So, the political strife continues unabated. No relief in sight.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Progressive Madness

2025-09-16T07:00:00Z

Six days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there remains a national sadness. The cliche “life goes on” applies, but not totally.

There is change in the air.

Extremists on the left are now under more pressure than I’ve seen in years. Some, like Stephen Colbert and Matthew Dowd, have lost their jobs. Others are approaching unemployment. Radical left pockets still exist in Hollywood, Manhattan, and Boston, but across the country, that movement is damaged.

The essential reason that progressive tactics are failing is chaos. In Chicago, San Francisco, even Charlotte, North Carolina, soft-on-crime policies have directly led to social disorder. It’s right before our eyes.

Added to that is the progressive tactic of demonizing and blackballing opposing points of view. Hitler, racist, homophobe. It never ends.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is spotlighting the progressive madness, and many more people are paying attention. That might emerge as Mr. Kirk’s ultimate legacy.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

The Nation Reacts to the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

2025-09-15T07:00:00Z

As usual, the national press has essentially misreported a very important story: the nation’s reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Utah authorities are providing the best factual accounting. Here are the most important points:

- The alleged killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, is not cooperating in the investigation.

- However, Robinson’s parents are giving information.

- Robinson’s live-in roommate, a person transitioning from male to female, is also speaking to investigators.

- Tyler Robinson apparently spent a lot of time on radical left social media hate sites. The Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, calls them “dark corners of the internet.”

- Robinson will appear in court on Tuesday. He will most likely plead not guilty, although the evidence against him is overwhelming. His lawyers will probably go for the insanity defense.

As for a wider analysis, it breaks down along ideological lines. A number of far-left Americans are happy that Charlie Kirk was murdered. These are emotionally troubled people, some of whom are losing their jobs.

After Matthew Dowd was fired by MSNBC, the ardent left in the media quickly retreated. Paychecks usually trump ideology. On Fox News, Howard Kurtz said that Mr. Kirk “was not a saint.” That is a flat-out dumb statement. None of us are saints. Charlie Kirk’s personal beliefs have absolutely no validity in analyzing his unspeakable murder.

On the political front, President Trump believes dark money outfits are fueling violence. George Soros was named. Mr. Trump will direct the Justice Department to investigate these groups, which are extremely well-funded.

Finally, ever since the George Floyd riots, the Democratic Party and the leftist media that supports it have had a perception problem among Americans who are not ideological, which is most of the population.

That situation has now reached critical mass in America, with the far left very likely to be significantly marginalized.

So, that’s where we are. See you on the No Spin News Monday for more honest reporting. BillOReilly.com has the best analysis.

Trump & O'Reilly at the Yankees Game

Take a look at President Trump at this Thursday's New York Yankees game, where I joined him to remember 9/11.

"Confronting Evil" on NewsNation

2025-09-12T07:00:00Z

Because of Charlie Kirk coverage, the “Confronting Evil” special on NewsNation will now be shown tonight at 10 eastern and again Sunday evening at 7. It's worth your time!

"Confronting Evil" Special

2025-09-11T07:00:00Z

In the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, the TV special on my book “Confronting Evil” is expanding. Tonight at 9 eastern it will be shown on the CW network and at 10 eastern on NewsNation. Important you watch it.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated

2025-09-10T20:00:00Z

More evil envelopes the country. On the eve of 9/11, political commentator Charlie Kirk has been assassinated in Utah. Evil is a contagion, and it is spreading now because resistance is slipping.

That’s one of the themes of my book “Confronting Evil.”

Americans can no longer turn away from misguided politicians and media that enable violent behavior. Charlotte, Chicago, Los Angeles, Mexico, Venezuela, Putin, Iran. Endless list.

We must all confront evil by taking the actions available to us. Turn off the progressive media, vote against pro-criminal politicians. Don’t allow evil acts in your neighborhood or home. Stand up.

We are a free society, so miscreants will always be present. But clear-thinking Americans understand critical mass has been reached. You can’t look away from murder any longer, Chicago; you can’t vote in a mayor who wants a mass release of criminals in New York.

Charlie Kirk will go down as a martyr. President Trump barely escaped that circumstance. Three thousand people on 9/11 did not escape.

Fight against evil. Do not turn away.

Stay with BillOReilly.com for the truth. Watch me on NewsNation at 8.

The New Democrats

2025-09-10T07:28:00Z

Stephen A. Smith was on the Hannity program the other night and said the Democratic Party needs a complete overhaul. Mr. Smith, a Dem himself, is surely correct. The party is a shambles.

Because I believe in a strong two-party system, I am now appointing myself the architect of a brand new movement, an organization that puts the welfare of the American people above foolish progressive philosophy. A party that comes back to reality.

First of all, the minority leader, Senator Chuck Schumer, needs to retire and move to The Villages in Florida. There, Schumer would be issued a golf cart and a pickleball racket. He would not be allowed to speak during the daytime.

Schumer has no solutions to any vexing problems, like his pal Joe Biden. The Dems need a vibrant leader on the Hill. The Chuckster doesn’t come close.

The new party leader needs to stop the nonsense. Soft on crime? No. Trans school privileges? No. Higher taxes? No. Despising Israel! A loser. Permissive social order policies? Gone.

That’s just the start. The new Democrats must cease with the equity, skin color preferences. They have to demand better public school education; stop opposing vouchers. The Dems have to look out for the kids, not the unions.

That’s just the beginning. So much reform and only a strong, charismatic leader could make it happen.

Over to you, Stephen A.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

ICE Deportations

2025-09-09T07:19:00Z

The Supreme Court is still vacationing, but non-hearing rulings are beginning to come out. The most recent is a repudiation of the lower courts, which are doing everything they can to stop ICE deportations.

A temporary restraining order, saying the federal government doesn't have the authority to seek out migrants in this country without proper credentials, was lifted by the Court.

The truth is that liberal Americans, including jurists, do not want mass deportations. They did not object to President Biden failing to enforce immigration law and have no problem continuing his legacy. Let ‘em in. Leave them alone.

Rarely will you see a Democrat politician support immigration enforcement. It’s like opposing abortion; if you do that, you are expelled from the liberal arena.

Democrats have had multiple chances to pass new immigration laws that include humane asylum provisions. They have not. They could have voted to increase green cards. They did not.

The Supreme Court is simply not going to codify anarchy, which is what Joe Biden imposed.

As the cliche goes: get used to it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Violence in American Cities

2025-09-08T14:25:00Z

President Trump is especially testy about the federal assault on violence in some American cities. As usual, the progressive media has decided that Trump is a fascist and that federal authorities should simply watch people get shot to death on the streets with no intervention.

That’s what President Biden did. See no evil. No action needed.

So, when a leftist reporter asks the President about the so-called “war on Chicago,” Mr. Trump’s annoyance level spikes. He simply can’t believe the left would rather accept ongoing violence than tamp it down with federal protection.

If I were President, I’d be pleased the ideological media is opposed to restoring order. Most Americans understand this is necessary in “out-of-control” progressive cities. If state and local authorities refuse to protect the citizenry, the federal government has the authority to do so. We have seen that many times throughout history. Google George Wallace.

Part of Donald Trump’s protective shield is the utter insanity of his media detractors. The extremists in the press, and there are many, actually help the Trump administration. It’s like a vaccine against criticism.

But don’t tell RFK, Jr.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Let the Games Begin

2025-09-05T07:00:00Z

The apex of capitalism began again Thursday night as the National Football League opened its season.

Brutal game. No DEI. No welfare. No pity. Just win. And make money. Lots of money.

In fact, the NFL is the most profitable enterprise in the world. It is based entirely on competition and individual skill. There is no place to hide on that field. Success and failure occur on every play.

America has become a nation of excuse-makers and grievance hounds. Always somebody else’s fault. Public schools enable that kind of weak thinking. So do many politicians and the leftist media.

But that all disappears on the football field. Which is why I played. Competition makes you stronger. And you need to be strong to succeed in life. No one else can do it for you. You, yourself, must plow through.

So let the games begin. They symbolize what a free marketplace really is. And it’s not always pretty.

Hope you check out “Confronting Evil” this coming Tuesday.

Media-Driven Hysteria

2025-09-04T07:08:00Z

This Epstein story is beyond tedious. Hearsay, hopeful speculation, due process denial, and conspiracy galore.

Essentially a waste of time unless vivid new evidence emerges.

Epstein killed himself, and the world is a better place. Ghislaine Maxwell should serve out her full sentence. If their victims need help, society should provide it.

But this story has taken a sinister political turn as the anti-Trump cadres are desperate to tie the President to Epstein in a criminal way. That’s the goal. Get Trump!

The President knows that, and his contention that the situation is being used to fog his accomplishments is true. However, the Trump opposition will never acknowledge anything positive from the administration. Epstein is just convenient. And no amount of paperwork from the case will ever be enough.

So, that’s the truth of media-driven hysteria. The denizens of old Salem would love this. Guilty! Of what? Of being you.

Tough world for Donald Trump.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Bad Politicians

2025-09-03T07:30:00Z

In baseball, if you never get a hit, you’re taken out of the lineup. But in politics, it’s different. There is no daily success/ failure barometer other than a vote. And victory at election time certainly does not always indicate good performance.

What good has Senator Chuck Schumer done for the people of New York? The city may soon elect a communist mayor because poor voters can’t afford to live there. The justice system has fallen apart with “no bail.” Highest taxes in the nation.

Schumer takes no action.

How about Senator Mitch McConnell in Kentucky? “Back room” Mitch single-handedly killed “Kate’s Law,” which would have slapped onerous prison time on foreign criminals who defy deportation and illegally return to the USA.

There are legions of them. Somebody tell the back door man.

Governor J. B. Pritzker of Illinois is perhaps the worst. On his watch, thousands of Chicagoans have been shot dead in the streets. The vast majority are African-American. When asked about President Trump sending troops to protect Chicago people, Pritzker told the press that Trump is trying to impose a Nazi dictatorship on America.

Is there a psychiatrist in the house?

The reason we have so many bad politicians in this country is no accountability. That’s the reason.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Chicago's Future

2025-09-02T07:00:00Z

President Trump may invade the city of Chicago. National Guard and federal agents are on alert because the city remains a violent mess.

Illinois authorities say there’s no need, that the murder rate is coming down. And that’s true. However, let’s consider that last year, 2024, 578 human beings were killed; 423 of them were African-American.

Black drug gangs are primarily responsible for the slaughter, which mostly takes place in poor areas where citizens have little protection. Like Mexico, if they inform on or testify against gang members, they become targets. So most homicides go unsolved, and the circle of violence continues year after year.

Based on the success of the Washington, D.C., federal law enforcement presence, President Trump seeks to duplicate it in Chicago. But Illinois Governor Pritzker and Windy City Mayor Johnson both oppose added federal protections on the street.

Pritzger is a machine politician who savors ideological governance. No problem-solving for J.B. Nope, it’s all leftwing gibberish, all the time. Bullets coming at you? Don’t count on J. B.

Mayor Johnson is simply another ethnic power monger who, like the Governor, refuses to protect the citizenry. Remember Mayor Lori Lightfoot? Brandon is worse.

Donald Trump could ignore Chicago as Joe Biden did. But he believes his legacy will be enhanced with a tough crime-fighting profile as well as strict immigration reform.

And because American lives are at stake, Mr. Trump will likely prevail. Blood should be thicker than politics. Right?

Happy Labor Day!

2025-09-01T07:00:00Z

Happy Labor Day to all honest, hard-working Americans. Which is most of us. However, there are millions of folks who embrace sloth (word of the day) and expect you and I to support them. The Democratic Party has heavily recruited that group.

You can make a case that President Trump is the hardest-working Chief Executive in history. No question that Warren G. Harding was the laziest. James Buchanan was a slacker as well. We lay all that out in “Confronting the Presidents.”

Mr. Trump is absolutely driven to succeed. He plays some golf but that’s about it for leisure. Every day is a work day.

Abraham Lincoln was on call 24/7 with the Civil War. His tenure in the White House was a work-a-thon. Little down time; it was something every day as the nation was on the brink of destruction.

Finally, the United States is the most prosperous country on the planet because Americans work harder than the Swedes, or the Turks, or everybody.

We simply out labor the competition. And that has certainly paid off.

The No Spin News returns tomorrow. Don’t miss it.

Vacation Journal - Jen Psaki & Prayers

2025-08-29T07:00:00Z

Jen Psaki is back. Joe Biden’s White House spokeswoman is now a TV pundit for MS Whatever and has defined the problem of mass shootings in the USA: Prayer!

That’s right. After a mentally ill person murdered two young children, wounding 18 others in Minnesota, here’s what Ms. Jen said on television: “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers do not end school shootings …

“When kids are getting shot in their pews at a Catholic school mass and your crime plan is to have National Guard put down mulch around DC, maybe you rethink your strategy.”

Talk about mulch.

So let’s reason here. Jen Psaki and her former boss, President Biden, have never put forth a violent crime solution that doesn’t crush the Constitution. Liberals, in general, want gun bans. They have nothing else.

Do they support tougher penalties for criminals carrying illegal firearms? No.

Do they want mentally unstable people forcibly evaluated by authorities? No.

Does the left support “stop and frisk” strategies designed to take illegal guns off the streets? No.

I could go on.

President Biden did absolutely nada to protect the American public from gun violence. Ms. Psaki didn’t seem to mind that, did she?

There are more than 300 million guns currently in the United States. If gun bans take place, the criminals will be overjoyed. They’ll charge twice what they do now for illegal guns.

In liberal New York City, you can be released without bail even if you’re a convicted felon after the cops catch you with a gun. How bout that Jen?

Finally, Prayer. Ms. Psaki was raised in a Catholic family but seems to have strayed a bit. In 2023, she publicly mocked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson for his fundamentalist Christian beliefs.

At one time in this country, that display might have led to a gun duel. But those days are over, thank God (pun intended).

Today, there really isn’t much anyone can do about Jenn Psaki and her sophomoric outrage. Except, that is, pray for her.

Vacation Journal - Trump & Hamilton

2025-08-28T07:00:00Z

Are you ready for something new? In politics? Here we go.

Donald Trump is channeling Alexander Hamilton and might not even know it. Essentially, it comes down to this: the President wants to dramatically increase the power of the executive branch and will test Constitutional limits in his quest. That’s what this National Guard stuff is all about, as well as his campaign against the Fed. Mr. Trump is an impatient man with no time for fools or ideological opponents.

Old Alex was very similar. Hard guy. Brave soldier. Started the Federalist Party because he wanted the new United States to have a strong central authority. Hamilton didn’t care what Delaware wanted.

Thomas Jefferson did care about the states and saw them as guardians of Constitutional rights. That caused much angst between Hamilton and Jefferson.

George Washington sided with Hamilton, believing that a few good men should wield the most power, not chaotic backwaters like Georgia.

In his brilliant play “Hamilton,” Lin-Manuel Miranda spotlights a little of this, but the show is mainly patriots singing and cavorting around. Hamilton has grossed more than a billion dollars on Broadway - one of only four plays to do that.

If Mr. Miranda has any idea how close Trump and Hamilton are in political philosophy and personality, he has not addressed it.

Maybe too horrifying for him.

Anyway, President Trump is not going to change. He will use his power to increase his power. The Supreme Court knows this.

It will be fascinating to see how the nine justices deal with the new Alexander Hamilton.

Vacation Journal - Chicago Intervention

2025-08-27T07:00:00Z

End of August and most everyone is off. Not much going on until September 2. I know I’m ignoring federal authorities invading Chicago because I don’t know exactly how that’s going to look.

During President Trump’s first term, I suggested that because public safety was being ignored by some states, the federal government had the power to control criminality. There is much precedent for that; perhaps the most intense was the federal takeover of the New Orleans police department.

All Presidents take an oath to protect Americans, and that doesn’t stop at the state line. The murder rate in Chicago and other progressive cities is far too high, and, at least in the Windy City, the locals will not take the action needed to stop the madness.

So, Mr. Trump will prevail on this one. At least that’s my prediction. The Supreme Court will be busy this autumn.

Vacation Journal - Woodward & Bernstein's Bubble

2025-08-26T07:00:00Z

Attended a fundraiser in East Hampton, Long Island, last night to save the West Park Presbyterian Church in Manhattan. Very worthy cause. Landmarks like this should be respected, not torn down.

The show was Woodward and Bernstein’s Watergate saga as acted by a bunch of actors, including Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, and Nathan Lane.

After the scripted event, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein took the stage for a Q&A.

You know what happened.

Both men despise President Trump, and East Hampton is a leftist hamlet. That doesn’t bother me at all. All Americans have the absolute right to form political convictions.

However, the rhetoric quickly became nonsensical with Woodward pounding Trump for his COVID response and Bernstein telling the audience we all live in “a police state.”

Listen, pal, I recently spent some time in China, a real police state. If you lived there and bashed Xi like you hammer Trump, your neighborhood would dramatically change, if you get my drift.

As for COVID, Woodward should know that President Trump initiated “Operation Warp Speed.” He made it happen. The vaccines saved countless lives.

Living in a bubble is bad. I got into journalism because of the Watergate investigation. But things have dramatically changed in the media world, and Woodward plus Bernstein are not what they used to be.

Too bad.

Vacation Journal - Russia's Delusion

2025-08-25T07:00:00Z

Well, I am getting some sleep on my break, which is imperative. Since Trump took office, I am aging in dog years.

Of course, I have to monitor the news cycle, and yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov appeared on NBC News. Kristen Welker asked him about targeting civilians in Ukraine and, predictably, Lavrov denied it is happening.

So I guess tens of thousands are committing mass suicide.

All that blockhead has to do is visit a cemetery and bring a calculator.

When you read “Confronting Evil,” you will see the 15 killers we profile all denied their atrocities. No remorse. Lavrov is Putin’s lapdog, so he’s channeling bad Vlad in everything he says. The evil beat goes on.

I hope you will preorder the book, out September 9, on BillOReilly.com. We’ll give you a fun gift in the process.

Enjoy the end of summer. Time for another nap!

Vacation Journal - Latest Epstein News

2025-08-23T07:00:00Z

More Epstein stuff kicked out there on Friday. Zero importance. I don’t believe the story will ever expand further than a heinous criminal and his appalling girlfriend committing terrible crimes. There may have been others involved but after all this time, no direct evidence has surfaced. In the sordid process, however, Prince Andrew has been ruined. Karma?

The Trump haters are desperate to tie him to criminality in the matter. Awful. Due process once again spit on by more than a few terrible Americans.

Nine days left in the summer season. Iran, Putin, stock market, on and on. Not a relaxing scenario. Hope everyone gets some downtime as Labor Day approaches.

Vacation Journal - Trump Wins in Court

2025-08-22T07:00:00Z

As we predicted, an appeals court in New York has thrown out a judgment against the Trump Organization that now totals about $527 million.

The judges ruled unanimously the punishment is unconstitutional because it’s so extreme.

This was the case brought by NY Attorney General Letitia James alleging the Trump real estate arm borrowed big money using false accounting. There were no complaints against the Trump Organization, just Ms. James’ jihad.

In the appeal ruling, which took eleven months, Judge David Friedman commented on the Attorney General: “Plainly her ultimate goal was not market hygiene… but political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump’s political career and the destruction of his real estate business.”

The Judge’s opinion is correct, and it should be noted that the sitting judge in the case, Arthur Engoron, is a Trump hater and allowed the entire debacle to unfold.

So, another “lawfare” situation is exposed: massive corruption. It will be interesting to see if the perpetrators of the con are ultimately punished themselves.

Vacation Journal - Day 1

2025-08-21T07:00:00Z

Wild weather on eastern Long Island because of Hurricane Erin, which is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The ferocity of nature on full display.

I feel sorry for all the vacationers out here. Not a lot of entertainment options in beach towns. Especially for the urchins. And it’s not cheap to stay in this area.

President Trump is not taking his usual end-of-August break because of the Ukraine negotiations. Evil Putin can’t leave Russia to vacation because he’ll be arrested for war crimes. We are rooting for the President to get some kind of deal, unlike some other Americans who put ideology over human life, if you can believe it.

I will be checking in most days during the break. Thanks for being loyal news consumers.

Online Attacks

2025-08-20T07:18:00Z

Because I am very busy, I do not spend much time on “podcasts” and other social media displays.

However, my news staff keeps me apprised of internet stuff, and it usually falls into one of three categories: personal attacks to get attention, fact-based discussions, and lunatic asylum applications.

Now, I have never met former NBC commentator Joy Reid. On television, she has a lot of energy and likes to demean white men. I think that’s accurate. However, Joy’s point of view did not much please NBC, which let her go.

This week, Ms. Reid secured a headline by calling President Trump and Elvis Presley “mediocre white men” who contribute nothing to the country.

“These people (white men) cannot create culture on their own. Without Black people, Brown people, the DEIs, there’s no culture in America,” Joy opined.

Geez. What would Stephen Spielberg say? Stephen Sondheim? Little Stephen Van Zant?

Instead of providing a spotlight on Black achievements in the arts, Ms. Reid is compelled to denigrate Caucasians. Makes no sense to me.

Apparently, Ms. Reid did not see Elvis’ superb performance in “Viva Las Vegas.” Come on, Joy. I know it’s not “Superfly,” but it’s a fun movie. Especially every scene Ann Margret is in.

To be truthful, there are a lot of mediocre white men. As well as black men. And, well, you get the idea. Mediocrity even extends to women. Occasionally, named Joy.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Destruction of MSNBC

2025-08-19T07:28:00Z

MSNBC has been cut adrift by its parent company and is now on a slow dance to destruction. Without the resources of NBC News, the leftwing network will have to compete on its own and, if you remember the debacle of the Air America network, things could go south fast.

MS has an aging audience of urban leftists who never left the hippie bubble of the 1960s. A few minorities tune in to get a daily dose of grievance, but that’s about it. It’s tough to sit through “your country is awful” every day. And at MS, relief is never on the way.

Morning Joe used to be a ratings positive for the network, but that ended when Joe and Mika showed up at Mar-a-Lago for an audience with you know who. That was a bridge too far for the progressive zealots. Unforgivable. The audience numbers collapsed.

The queen of the progressive movement is Rachel Maddow, who only works one day a week. Not nearly enough to energize the base. The radicals need constant derision aimed at their country and MAGA folks. No days off, Rachel. The leftist verbiage is like crack. Keep loading the pipe.

CNN will inherit some MS refugees, but it won’t nearly be enough to save that operation. It’s not as raw as its counterpart, so the crack high is diminished.

The American news media is undergoing profound change. Unprecedented, really. Hating Trump is destroying one of the most powerful industries in the world.

As a campaign ad for Ronald Reagan once said: “It is morning in America.”

And Joe, as well as Mika, will likely not be a part of it much longer.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Aftermath of the Trump-Putin Meeting

2025-08-18T14:20:00Z

Predictably, President Trump is taking heat because his meeting with Putin did not lead to concrete progress on Ukraine. The ideological crazies have no blankin' idea how difficult ending this war will be and, to be very accurate, Mr. Trump seemingly underestimated Putin's evil. Bad Vlad likes to inflict pain and suffering. He enjoys that.

At this point, the civilized world wants Putin to stop the fighting. So, the dictator holds the power card in negotiations. It is not "equal footing" with President Trump. Putin is the power player because only he can stop the madness.

If the USA and Europe decide to wage economic warfare on Russia, the scenario changes. But aggressive action against a psychopath can be dangerous.

Finally, if Kamala Harris had been elected none of this would be happening. She would have continued the Biden policy of pumping billions into Ukraine and standing on the sidelines. I can't even picture Ms. Harris negotiating face-to-face with evil Vlad.

We will continue our honest coverage tonight on the No Spin News.

Ideological Propaganda

2025-08-15T07:00:00Z

One of the most vile human beings ever was Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda who peddled vicious lies that justified genocide and mass destruction.

Goebbels was the guy who purported that Poland actually "invaded" Germany, kicking off World War II.

The German people remain responsible for embracing the evil Third Reich, and it is almost shocking to see Goebbels' techniques being used today in America.

The propaganda thug believed that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will accept it as truth.

Submitted for your consideration: Democrats saying Donald Trump pledged to be a "dictator on day one."

The actual quote from the President was directed solely to dealings with the automobile industry.

Then there's "good people on both sides."

Anti-Trump people allege Trump was calling neo-Nazi demonstrators in Virginia honorable.

The truth is, Mr. Trump was referring to Americans who were debating whether or not to remove Confederate statues.

Now we have "cuts" to Medicaid and tax "breaks" for the wealthy.

In a hard news article on August 13, Wall Street Journal reporter Juliet Chung writes: "President Trump's new tax law, which extends a broad federal tax cut to the wealthy ...

"The law also makes deep cuts to funding for such programs as Medicaid ..."

The Wall Street Journal editors know that reporting is misleading. There are no "cuts" to Medicaid, and the income tax rate simply stays the same for everyone. There are new Medicaid requirements. Like able-bodied Americans have to look for work or volunteer to improve the country.

Since some Americans receiving Medicaid refuse to do that, the roles will be "cut."

It is long past time to reject partisan reporting and ideological propaganda. Let's stop enshrining the memory of Joseph Goebbels.

If we could ever cut the rank propaganda, the country would be a much better place.

Enjoy the weekend.

Extreme Panic

2025-08-14T07:15:00Z

Extreme panic is setting in. The Democrats and Trump haters have to know that nothing is working for them right now.

Trying to tie the President to Epstein? Failed, and now Bill Clinton is in jeopardy as the House Oversight Committee intends to put him and others under oath about the subject.

Hammering Trump for trying to clean up dangerous Washington, DC? Enormous loser. The city is poorly run, an embarrassment.

Trying to undermine the Trump/Putin meeting on Ukraine? Almost incredible because of the massive death over there.

If President Trump gets some relief for the Ukrainians, he could win the Nobel Peace Prize. If he doesn't win it, the entire Nobel apparatus collapses.

So there is palpable desperation in the air. The anti-Trump cadres are facing a wipeout.

From which they might not recover.

Losing Touch With Reality

2025-08-13T07:00:00Z

How's your "world view" doing? Chances are, you don't know because we insulated Americans are generally locked into our own worlds. Pakistan and Argentina are far away. Not important.

My mail on the Putin-Trump meeting to stop the madness in Ukraine is instructive. Some folks think "bad Vlad" can actually be arrested in Anchorage, or threatened. Or humiliated like Zelensky was in a press conference.

One word: no.

Russia has nukes and might very well use them if its leader is ambushed. Very simple analysis here. Dictators with unlimited power inside their countries can wreak havoc on the world. Hello Adolph, Joe Stalin, Mao.

Humiliating Vlad would lead to more bloodshed and madness. Hannibal Lecter didn't have thermonuclear submarines. Vlad does. Same violent disposition, different circumstances.

So why doesn't everyone know this? It's not hard to understand unless you live in a fantasy-filled bubble, which millions do.

And that's dangerous in a free society. Once the people lose touch with reality, crazy things flood the societal zone. A rational world view is a bulwark against that.

We should all have one.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Interview with General Michael Flynn

2025-08-12T07:00:00Z

Important interview on the No Spin News this evening about the attempt to use Russia to harm Donald Trump. General Michael Flynn will be the guest, and clarity is my goal.

Flynn was pardoned by President Trump for admitting to trying to lessen tensions between Putin and Obama in 2016, just weeks before Donald Trump's first inauguration. It's a complicated story, but extremely relevant today because of the Putin-Trump meeting on Friday, as well as the investigation into Obama's top security guys for pushing the phony Russian Collusion story.

This interview will not be tainted by politics or favor. We will ask the tough questions surrounding an amazing scandal and a general caught up in it.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Fighting Oligarchs

2025-08-11T14:24:00Z

This summer, socialist Bernie Sanders is spending time away from his Lake Champlain dacha in order to visit the country with his "Fighting Oligarchs" tour.

I thought Bruce Springsteen might open for the Senator, but apparently Bruce is confused by the oligarch thing because there aren't any in New Jersey.

The tour should have been called "Bern, Baby, Bern because the 84-year-old is on fire all the time. Show him a crowd and his inner Godzilla appears; fire-breathing, stomping around.

To save you some gas money, here's what the "Berning Love" guy wants, with apologies to Elvis, who also never saw an oligarch in Tupelo.

Free health care for 350 million people.

Free college for anyone who can get there.

Free day care for the tykes.

Government-subsidized housing, food, and public transportation in urban areas.

Guaranteed employment with a minimum wage of $17 an hour.

No mention of free spa treatments, but give the Vermonter time.

Sanders well knows this is all Don Quixote stuff because no country could come close to affording it. Unless, that is, a totalitarian government seized private property and ran the entire economy, which is what Karl, er Bernie, really wants.

One wonders about the intellectual capacity of those Americans showing up to hear this nuttiness. But Bernie continues to draw crowds.

Might be because his speeches are free.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Transforming the Economy

2025-08-07T07:00:00Z

President Trump has largely succeeded in transforming the U.S economy into a more robust manufacturing situation. Trillions of dollars have been pledged by companies like Apple to invest in new plants and make stuff here rather than abroad.

But seeing more jobs and the higher salaries that accompany heavy industry will take time, and Americans are not known for their patience.

Right now, outrageous insurance costs as well as medicine prices are hurting the average folks. Some of that is leftover from the hapless presidency of Joe Biden, but voters don't really care. They want relief now.

Food is also a problem. Many companies are hanging on to Covid pricing when long supply lines drove up costs. They don't want to give consumers a break because food is essential, not optional.

Capitalism can be abused, and the President would be wise to examine the marketplace in America as he's done with corporations overseas.

The midterm vote might depend on it.

Enjoy the August weekend.

NBC's Left-Wing Activism

2025-08-06T07:29:00Z

NBC News looks like the last holdout. While other corporate media outlets are sliding away from leftwing activism, the Peacock network is not. Rather, it is defying the Trump administration almost daily.

NBC White House Correspondent Monica Alba posits that there is "no evidence" at all that the Russian-Collusion fraud was a political conspiracy. Quite the statement. Ms. Alba goes on to opine that the Justice Department is trying to deflect attention away from the Epstein mess.

It is possible, I guess, that Monica possesses super powers to absolutely know all the collusion evidence as well as the motivation for a Grand Jury presentation by the government. No need for any fact-gathering, Ms. Monica has it nailed down.

Then there's the always reliable Rachel Maddow, who asserts we are all living in a dictatorship. Yes, it's true NBC has dumped MSNBC, but Ms. Rachel will still be paid big money to guide us through the Fourth Reich.

In the face of Colbert getting sacked by CBS, NBC announced it is renewing Jimmy Fallon, which is fine. Jim couldn't care less about partisan politics. He simply wants to "get down."

Comcast, which owns NBC, has never really explained its leftwing posture. But obviously that will continue.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Destruction in Boston

2025-08-05T07:00:00Z

One of the great cities of the world, Boston, is now heading down the same destructive road that San Francisco and Portland, Oregon took. Politicians are coddling drug addicts, and barbaric behavior is on the rise.

It's the same old story. A far left mayor, Michelle Wu, imposing "harm reduction" on the public by giving away free needles as well as allowing addicted people to publicly inject narcotics and live in the streets.

Even swanky neighborhoods like Beacon Hill are now exposed to gross social disorder. Parents walking young children to school or to the playground often encounter a gauntlet of debauchery.

Having attended college and worked local news in Boston, it is my second home. When I attended a Celtics game last winter, I noticed the stoned zombies stumbling around the harbor, a prime tourist destination. Ms. Wu has to see it as well. But she doesn't care.

So here's some real "harm reduction." Enforce drug possession laws, Madame Mayor, give the productive citizens of Boston a break. Protect the sensibilities of children and the elderly. Put your insane ideology in the glove compartment and do the right thing for a change.

Or is that too much to ask?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Income Inequality

2025-08-04T14:26:00Z

The south fork of Long Island, sometimes called "the Hamptons," is a perfect example of "income inequality."

Here, wealthy people pay millions for summer homes, galavanting around showing off their good fortune while an army of service workers keeps everything tidy and functioning.

Lobster salad at $100 a pound, why not? $36 cheeseburgers? Yum. Money is for spending, correct?

The key question: Is this wrong, as Bernie Sanders believes? Should action be taken against the "swells?"

Before I answer, let's consider the other equation. Thousands of gardeners, pool guys, restaurant servers, carpenters, and other blue-collar folks are making good money from the rich and affluent vacationers. These workers have chosen to earn their livings providing needed services. They are not hedge fund investors or trust fund baby layabouts. Most work very hard for the money.

So, do we try to punish the wealthy? Do we seek to take from them? If so, where in the U.S. Constitution is that memorialized?

The reason America is the most prosperous country in the world is it provides the most opportunity for the most people. But you have to earn your way.

Income inequality? Certainly on display in our capitalist country. Jealousy? Plenty of it. Opportunities to reach your potential?

Everywhere.

It's up to you. And the brutally false promises of Senator Sanders and the socialists won't get you there.

Life lesson number one.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump vs. China

2025-08-01T14:30:00Z

The big one looms. China. One point five billion people. Communist police state. Not a laugh a minute over there. As Buffalo Springfield once sang: "Step out of line, they come and take you away."

But there's one big thing: China needs to sell stuff in the USA. Advantage: President Trump.

Having spent three days in Beijing during May, I acquired a unique perspective on this trade-tariff situation. In a lengthy conversation with high-ranking Chinese officials, it was clear to me that they want to do business with America and are willing to be reasonable in order to achieve that.

So, now, the expectation is that Trump and Xi will soon meet in Beijing. Odds are a trade deal will happen. That would be a tremendous plus for the world and President Trump's greatest success.

Won't be easy. China will have to help on Ukraine, stop stealing our tech, and tamp down its overall bellicosity.

Hoping. As everyone should. Amazing opportunity ahead.

New column on Sunday.

A Chance to Succeed

2025-07-31T07:00:00Z

Actor Harrison Ford is 83 years old and looks pretty damn good if you ask me. He's on the cover of Variety magazine, waxing philosophical about a number of things, including capitalism.

Says the hero of Star Wars: "It's like it's always been, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and that ain't exactly right."

Okay. Harrison Ford got rich and famous by using his God given acting talent. Folks decided to pay money to see his movies. Nothing wrong with that. No fix was in for the charismatic Ford.

On the poverty side, millions of Americans are in that zone. And there is usually a compelling reason why. Lack of education, laziness, addiction, violent behavior, just to name a few.

So, what would Harrison have America do? Poverty is most often a personal responsibility issue. If you develop a skill, work hard, and live in an honest way, you won't be poor. Got it?

I hope so because my analysis is "exactly right."

Have a fun weekend.

Self-Obsession

2025-07-30T07:15:00Z

A poll taken by a gambling outfit in Canada says 47 percent of Americans would dump their spouse or partner in return for one million dollars.

Now, that sounds kind of high unless you live in Hollywood, but it's worth thinking about.

A million bucks no longer buys all that much. Ocean front homes in nice places run at least ten times that. So do yachts. And even flashy cars can cost hundreds of thousands.

So, this sentiment might be more about loyalty than money.

We live in a "where's mine" age. Self-obsession is as American as pumpkin pie. Many of us want stuff. An extra million helps in that department, no question, but you're not going to live large unless you move to the Solomon Islands.

And what about Becky and Larry to use friendly companion names? They go under the Hummer for cash? That's kind of cold, is it not?

We already know that millions of Americans prefer their pets to people; all the surveys say that. I bet the number would be significantly lower if Americans were asked to give up their Pekingese for a million.

Finally, 15 percent say they would "frame a friend" for a crime to acquire one million dollars. That's evil and corresponds exactly to my number of rotten human beings. Fifteen percent. Lots of folks.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Device Dependency

2025-07-29T07:36:00Z

A new survey from Optimum says the average American spends ten hours a day on devices. That's troubling, but there's no combating it. The lure of instant access is overwhelming.

The high-tech diversion is changing everything because people can now create their own worlds and rarely venture out of them. The device is always available, it never rejects you, it soothes, reassures, reinforces whatever your pursuits are. Even if there's evil involved.

It is becoming apparent that many of us are watching, not doing. There is no challenge, no quest. It's all contrived.

Fewer human beings are reading books because it takes time away from the device. We meet people in cyberspace, not face to face in a physical place. We can shut out anything negative. We become passive, lazy.

The devices are so addictive that some folks cannot stop using them, especially the young. They make it easy to be cruel, to avoid confrontation, to learn how to handle yourself in complicated situations. You can become so dependent on constant stimulation, your life shrinks into a social media bubble designed to engage you at all times.

You become a spectator, not an achiever.

Few understand the danger. You must control the devices rather than surrender to them. That is not real life. So, spread the word. Ultimate irony, you might have to use the device to do it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

A New Immigration Law

2025-07-28T07:16:00Z

Perhaps the biggest success of Trump II has been shutting down Biden's open border, an insane policy that will cost Americans trillions of dollars, not to mention all the violence from foreign criminals.

But President Trump needs to take one more step if he wants to maximize his problem-solving legacy: he should implore Congress to pass a tough but compassionate immigration law.

It is long overdue because both parties exploit the undocumented migrant situation. Meanwhile, any serious effort to protect the country from harm has been neglected because pinheads from both parties don't have the guts to do the right thing.

Here's what a new law might contain.

- Increased green cards (working papers) for specific industries like agriculture and hospitality. Foreign applicants would be vetted and supervised once admitted into the country. Corporations would be responsible for their health care and other needs.

All undocumented people already here would have to register with the Department of Homeland Security within 90 days. Their situations would then be reviewed by immigration judges online. Humane visas would be issued to folks who deserve them. If you don't register, immediate deportation.

All asylum applicants would have to wait outside the USA. No more catch and release.

Finally, a well-defined pathway to citizenship for foreigners who want to become American citizens. Part of that pathway would be military or civilian public service.

If President Trump would champion that, pressure would be enormous for Congress to finally honor the true legacy of this country: fairness and compassion.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Executive Order on the Homeless

2025-07-25T07:00:00Z

President Trump signed another Executive Order on Thursday directing federal funds into cities actively trying to mitigate the homeless problem. The tax dollars will be used for shelters and treatment centers.

Places like New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are not likely to receive much federal help because they enable the homeless, allowing them to pretty much do whatever they want, even if their actions hurt the public.

Generally speaking, liberal governance embraces permissive behavior across the board. Misguided liberal policies lead to overdose deaths, child addiction, depravity, and disease. A substance abuser contributes little to society but is rarely held accountable for misdeeds.

The liberal mantra is that society doesn't provide "treatment." Nonsense. Ask any drug counselor, and he or she will tell you most addicts don't want to change. They enjoyed being inebriated and didn't worry much about consequences.

This addiction thing has been a constant in America for about 100 years.

Countries like China and Singapore don't have homeless problems because narcotics are not tolerated. Harsh punishment befalls addicts in those nations, so presto, street people vanish.

We in America are more compassionate. I guess. But is it humane to allow people to destroy themselves in public view? To let them ruin neighborhoods, corrupt others, spread AIDS, and other communicable illnesses?

No, it's not humane. It's cowardly.

People who sell narcotics should be incarcerated for a decent stretch of time. Addicts and abusers must try to kick it or serve time as well.

Do that. The homeless conundrum will disappear.

New column on Sunday.

This Epstein Situation

2025-07-24T07:00:00Z

This Epstein situation is now officially out of control, diverting the President's attention away from "the people's business."

My advice is sage: have Attorney General Bondi outline what documents the Justice Department has and provide context. No need for the AG to name names or speculate. Just a factual outline.

The latest Wall Street Journal exposé says there are "hundreds" of names associated with the criminal, but none of those people are being investigated for anything. The anonymous sources the Journal is using also say the information is "unverified."

So it would be grossly irresponsible to make those names public and could very well lead to massive lawsuits against the federal government if they are released.

That's it. From now on, President Trump should refer all Epstein questions to the Attorney General's office. It should not be hard to put forth context.

The stupid story will be around for a few more weeks until something important happens. The much bigger situation is Trump suing The Wall Street Journal. We'll deal with that tonight.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Desperate Media

2025-07-23T07:00:00Z

A glance at the descending television news ratings tells the story. Americans are exhausted by the constant battle between a desperate media and an angry President. Everything is now directed into the "pain zone." That is "how can I use this against Trump or, on the other side, the corrupt press which generally loathes him."

Tedious. Did Trump send Epstein a birthday card three years before the criminal's profile was widely exposed? Who cares? Well, the press does because the scenario might damage the President. What other reason would there be to obsess over this?

Donald Trump understands the con. Ignore anything positive he does, concentrate on trumping up negative things. They don't even have to be true, but you can't use George Stephanopoulos' wording. Calling the President a "rapist" cost Disney about $20 million all in.

Stephen Colbert said the President should F himself on Monday night. Nice. Not unusual, as Tom Jones once sang. But it was predictable. Andrew Jackson would have shot Colbert a long time ago.

Most of us are fed up with the game. Tuning out. Tired of contrived nonsense. So, consumer dissent is growing.

Even so, things are not likely to change. Too bad for the nation.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden's Alleged Ambien Use

2025-07-22T07:00:00Z

The notorious Hunter Biden has given an interview during which he says his father, the President, was under the influence of Ambien when he debated Donald Trump in June 2024.

So, you will remember Trump's derisive nickname for President Biden was "Sleepy Joe." Ambien is supposed to make you drowsy, sleepy if you will. Perfect context, right?

But why would anyone take that drug before a huge public event? Makes absolutely no sense.

Now, Hunter knows his drugs. But he's also a fellow given to exaggeration. Keep that in mind when considering this scenario.

Up next will be some loon saying the Trump people slipped the Ambien into Mr. Biden's cocoa. The rumor is MSNBC is exploring that angle.

Or maybe Putin did it. Or Kamala. Or George Clooney, who Hunter believes is a quisling. Great word.

Of course, none of us know the truth here, including Joe Biden, whose memory is not what it used to be when Truman was President.

I will say this, however. If Joe Biden actually did take Ambien before the debate, man, that product really works.

See you later for the No Spin News.

The Epstein Dominance in the Media

2025-07-21T07:00:00Z

Fair-minded Americans should be very skeptical about the Epstein reporting because, at this point, it is all agenda-driven. Facts are few, shallow opinions are many.

The Trump administration is smart to support the release of the Grand Jury testimony against the heinous criminal.

Let's see what the jurors heard without ideological filters. Federal judges can make the files public with redactions if necessary. That absolutely should happen to restore a measure of confidence to the justice system.

While we wait, there's the usual phony political garbage. Democrats had the Epstein information during the Biden years, and there was no clamor for public exposure at all by the party. Now there is. Wonder why.

Then there's what I call the "woodwork factor." Almost every day, the hate Trump media comes up with someone to pose new accusations against the President.

Tedious. Dishonest. Where were they?

Finally, President Trump is suing The Wall Street Journal, saying the newspaper ran a false story about a birthday card Trump allegedly sent to Epstein before his crimes were known.

A forensics expert could assess this quickly. If Donald Trump did not write the card, more major media trouble will explode. The President filed this suit exceedingly quickly. Very big story either way.

So there it is without spin. Hope you find it refreshing. See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Foolish Diversions

2025-07-18T07:05:00Z

We are a diverse people in America, but we do have some cultural traits in common.

We like things done quickly. We admire sports skills. Presentable looks are a plus nearly everywhere, although the tattoo craze is challenging that.

But perhaps most of all, Americans do not want to be bored. Gone are fireside chats, sweet tea seminars on the porch, reading long biographical books.

No, we want action. Nearly every waking moment.

Smartphones provide the fix, and the addiction to them is stunning. Some folks literally cannot stop gazing at the stupid phone. During meals, at church services, even in movie theaters. Real life whizzes by, our chins are down.

There is big money to be made in cyberspace. Conspiracy people understand this. Throw crazy, unverified theories out there, and you will attract attention. Entire social media enterprises are set up to do just that.

The other day on cable news, a prominent Congresswoman analyzing the JFK assassination said his killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, was not a skilled marksman. I was startled. Having written the book "Killing Kennedy", I have seen Oswald's US Marine Corps test sheet. He scored very high, especially from long range.

But there will be no downside for the politician for the misleading statement. She'll continue to embrace dopey conspiracy stuff simply because she wants to.

Nothing to be done thanks to the First Amendment. But everyone should know exactly what's going on. We are being overwhelmed by foolish diversions.

Google it.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Network Decline

2025-07-17T07:00:00Z

For the first time ever, the four broadcast networks have fallen below the 20 percent viewing level. That means that 80 percent of Americans are no longer watching their shows. The folks are now "streaming."

Where have you gone, Mary Tyler Moore, Johnny Carson, Jackie Gleason, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you, with apologies to Paul Simon.

It's not hard to figure out why this is happening. The networks have turned away from quality programs because they are too expensive. Instead, they offer Survivor 86, Big Brother 45, and retreads of The Price Is Right.

Even people in solitary confinement won't watch.

Add to that the far left tilt of Stephen Colbert, The View, as well as NBC in general, and you have these companies giving a giant middle finger to traditional Americans on a daily basis.

The national news programs don't provide much either. I believe ABC anchorman David Muir wears the same outfit every night: bland dark jacket, white shirt, skinny tie that matches the jacket.

Peter Jennings used to buy custom suits on Savile Row. Apparently, Dave gets his treads in a boutique on Skid Row.

The point here is that television has become, well, turgid. The nets don't want to pay for big talent or produce big budget dramas. Paging Ally McBeal.

So, it's over. If the Mouseketeers ever come back, their new slogan might be: "Why? Because we don't like you."

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Ideological Loons

2025-07-16T07:57:00Z

Here's an interesting question: Which ideology has more fanatical loons, left or right? There's no polling data on this because most people will never admit they hold "extreme" views. The bubble they usually live in prevents rational assessment.

Anyway, I think there are more far-left folks in America than far-right. I could be wrong, but with many enormous cities controlled by ardent leftists, the demographics are on my side.

Both political extremes are very vocal, and nutty messages are easily carried on social media. The fanatical Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of the most famous liberal politicians in the USA. The equally fervent Marjorie Taylor Greene is working towards that status on the conservative side.

It was fascinating to see Ms. Greene try to block President Trump's arms deal with NATO. Why, Marge? Why do you want to help the psychopathic Putin? Greene's congressional colleagues shut her down, but come on.

The far-right Senator Barry Goldwater believed that "extremism in defense of liberty is no vice." But here's my retort. You can defend liberty without being an ideological loon!

Just ask George Washington.

Newsom's 2028 Campaign

2025-07-15T07:00:00Z

It's July 2025, and the next presidential campaign is three years away. Well, not exactly. It's already in motion.

California Governor Gavin Newsom rolled into the early primary state of South Carolina last week, shocking the water moccasins and swamp-dwelling gators. Usually this time of year, Newsom would be sipping fine wine in Napa Valley or eating hearty at the Sardine Factory in Monterey. But no, there's Gavin savoring the 90 percent humidity in the Palmetto State.

He wasn't there for the pecans, even though he said some very nutty things.

Like Trump's "Big Bill" will hurt America's kids. Opined the Governor: "That bill they just signed ... completely saddling our kids and grandkids trillions and trillions of dollars of debt."

Newsom is somewhat of an expert here.

When he took over from Jerry Brown in January 2019, California had a budget surplus of $21 billion. Mr. Brown was disciplined fiscally.

Today, the Golden State owns a $12 billion deficit. Math alert: In 5 and a half years, Gavin Newsom and his crazy far-left cadre have burned through an incredible $33 billion.

I wonder what the California kids think about that... dude!

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Withholding the Truth

2025-07-14T14:31:00Z

President Trump is annoyed by Jeffrey Epstein questioning from the press. Many MAGA disciples are teed off that the government may be suppressing information about the case. The media, in general, only cares if the story hurts Trump.

The MAGA situation is most interesting. It looks like the Trump cadres are split into two groups: the first crew is angry that some powerful people who associated with the heinous criminal are allegedly being protected by the feds.

The second group could not care less about Epstein. He's dead. Good. Leave Donald Trump alone.

I am most sympathetic to Americans who object to wealthy and powerful people receiving secret protections. That scenario is simply unacceptable in a country built on "equal justice".

Unlike many dishonest media people, I make no accusations here, nor do I promote conspiracy theories. I simply don't know about Epstein's associates.

But the Justice Department does have information, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, as well as Attorney General Merrick Garland, should both answer general questions about the investigations. It is their responsibility to do that. President Trump should order it.

All fair-minded Americans understand you can't link innocent folks to Epstein in any exposition. But a general explanation to the public is essential. No question.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Media Hatred

2025-07-11T07:35:00Z

Hope you caught our analysis on the No Spin News last night about the rise of political and media "hate" in America. As always, it was fact-based, and a partial solution was put forth: the Senate and House ethics committees have to begin sanctioning hateful speech by their members.

However, there is no remedy for media hatred because it makes money, both for corporations and social media entrepreneurs.

At the corporate level, here's how it works. And I am reporting from personal experience.

When I worked for WCBS-TV in New York City, there was no ideology involved in the reporting. News Director Steve Cohen was a straight shooter. But after accepting a promotion to CBS News as a national correspondent, things changed.

All of us understood that anchorman Dan Rather was liberal, so that pretty much was the network's profile. Rather had a contentious relationship with President Nixon and didn't much like Ronald Reagan.

So, if you wanted to prosper on Dan's watch, a leftist tilt didn't hurt. Bernie Goldberg wrote the book "Bias" about that.

Similar situations exist today at all three media companies: NBC, CBS, and ABC. Wear a MAGA hat, even on your own time, and you are finished.

There is no fix for that. Corporations do what they want. And media companies have Constitutional protections. If they want to sanction hatred towards a politician, there's no stopping them.

As Walter Cronkite once opined: "That's the way it is."

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Immigration Law

2025-07-10T14:30:00Z

The Supreme Court has ruled that Florida cannot implement its own immigration policy because, according to the Constitution, that is the job of the Federal Government.

And it makes perfect sense. One state, say Florida, might harshly punish the undocumented while another, paging California, may let everybody in without restraint.

Immigration law is essentially a public safety situation that has morphed into an ideological quest. Generally speaking, liberals support "humane" policies with few restrictions on foreign nationals, while right-wingers want stringent regulations on who takes up residence in America.

Congress should settle this. New laws are needed. You can be humane and disciplined at the same time. The government has an absolute right to limit entry into the country and to know exactly who is already here. Thus, migrant registration is a must. If an undocumented person doesn't register - gone.

But some migrants should get a break. Like the "dreamers"; children who were smuggled into the USA by their irresponsible parents. They are largely innocent of any violations. Congress should help them by passing a specific law providing a pathway to remain here.

But, of course, the Capitol Hill folks want no part of a fair solution. Might lose them votes.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Epstein File Controversy

2025-07-09T07:00:00Z

This Epstein file controversy is hurting the credibility of the Justice Department and, by extension, the President himself.

On March 17, I discussed the situation with the President in the White House and recommended that a summary of what Justice had learned about the villain be made public.

Both the President and I agreed that all information cannot be put out there because some innocent people had access to Epstein, and their lives could be badly damaged if proper context is lacking.

And we all know the media doesn't care at all about proper context. So, there's danger for anyone whose name pops up connected to Epstein, no matter what happened.

However, Americans should be told exactly what the government knows. You can redact names. Attorney General Bondi has an obligation to hold a press conference and answer questions directly. That's what honest government does.

Evil should not be granted any protection. Innocence is entitled to full protection. Ms. Bondi is smart enough to make that determination.

One more thing. President Biden's corrupt Justice Department had the Epstein information for years. Where are you former AG Merrick Garland?

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Anger on the Left

2025-07-08T07:00:00Z

Deep anger is growing in the progressive community as President Trump continues to impose his vision on the country and, indeed, on the world! Despite angry rhetoric and deceitful presentations by the hate Trump media, the President seems unstoppable.

So, what's a dedicated progressive to do?

Congress is passing Trump's wish list, the Supreme Court is slapping down legal objections, and the American people are in a wait-and-see posture.

Therefore, there are few avenues for progressives to take left-hand turns.

I saw Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer the other day on Long Island. He looked tired. At this point, he's the most powerful liberal in the country, but reality is taking its toll on Chuck. Polls say Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez could beat him in a primary. Conservatives loathe the Senator. He looks to be a man without a constituency.

Trump caused that, of course. He has little use for Schumer, even though they've known each other for decades. The truth is the Senator has been badly beaten by the President. It is twilight time for the Brooklyn liberal.

And, indeed, for the progressive movement.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The American Party

2025-07-07T14:24:00Z

Welcome to the "American Party!" Elon Musk is backing a third political organization in the USA, and he has the cash to do it.

The new party is decidedly all about money, cutting back the massive spending coming out of Washington. Musk is correct when he says politicians use tax dollars to amass power. Just look at Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, who voted for the "big bill" only because the Republicans earmarked big cash for her constituents.

That stuff happens all the time. They call it "back room deals."

Elon Musk hates that and believes he can reform the decades-old system by energizing a new political movement. The trouble is, he will not succeed.

The reason is easy. Most voters want, and many actually need, financial help from the feds. Some of that is fair. Taxpayers fund social security and Medicare, so it's only right that the contract remains in place. Medicaid is essentially charity. Most voters are okay with the safety net.

So, where exactly is Elon going? Yes, optional spending should be a reform target, but almost every democrat opposes that restraint. Republicans generally support more responsible spending, but as we see with red-state Alaska, they will take the money as well.

It is expensive to live in America. Taxes are everywhere on everything. Citizens reach retirement facing acute budget decisions.

Most do not want to lose what financial protection they have. And Elon Musk will not change that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Happy Independence Day!

2025-07-04T07:00:00Z

Happy Independence Day from Bill O'Reilly.com.

What Sets America Apart

2025-07-03T07:00:00Z

On this day before the Fourth of July, I will prove to you that America is the best country as far as opportunity goes.

The other day, I had lunch with an extremely successful businessman who graduated from the same high school that I did on Long Island.

His father was a chauffeur. Four kids. Very modest upbringing, but dad worked hard and the family got by.

My upbringing was similar. Levittown, little money coming in. My father worked for years in a nowhere office job.

But today, my lunch companion and I have prospered despite having few built-in career advantages. No nepo zone.

America gave us both opportunities to get educated and develop our talents. Hard work led to good wages and increased responsibilities. That's the way capitalism is supposed to work.

Today, some younger folks don't believe, but the success pathway remains. It's a rough road sometimes. Much easier not to try. Sell dope. Sponge the system.

As we celebrate 249 years of freedom, I know my success could not have happened anywhere else. Thank you, Founding Fathers.

Money Purchasing Power

2025-07-02T07:00:00Z

Here's something to ponder. When the Founding Fathers conceived of a new country that would promote freedom and justice, they envisioned leadership that would pursue those things. No tyrants need apply.

But Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, and the boys also understood human nature and how awful it can become. So, they built in controls over presidents and members of Congress.

What the Founders did not anticipate was the potential of money purchasing power. And here we are.

In order to run for national office, a citizen needs hundreds of thousands of dollars, often millions. For the presidency, billions.

You may have noticed that not one congressional Democrat voted for the Big Bill, that President Trump promoted.

If any Democrat had supported the bill, that person would have been shunned by the party and most likely denied funds for reelection.

Same thing on the Republican side. Defy President Trump, and you are likely finished. Donated money will be very difficult to raise.

So, voting one's conscience has been replaced by political survival. Not the way our system should work.

Is it?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

American Pride

2025-07-01T07:15:00Z

Just in time for Independence Day comes a Gallup Poll asking if Americans are "proud" of their country. According to Gallup, a record-low number says yes.

It's predictable. Many anti-Trumpers are not happy he's president again and younger Americans are disenchanted with the country in general. Millennials (born 1980-1996) clock in at a 58 percent proud rate, while only 41 of Gen Z (born after 1996) revere the USA.

The baby boomers, my generation, approve of the USA at a rate of 75 percent despite the Vietnam War and decades of economic turbulence.

Education is a key component in the proud assessment. The public school system no longer emphasizes history and civics leaving millions of Americans ignorant of America's greatness. They evaluate their country through a selfish lens. Where's mine?

The "dumb factor," as I call it, drives much public opinion. The U.S. Constitution gives all Americans the absolute right to be a moron, and many champion that circumstance.

So here's the truth about the United States of America. For 249 consecutive years it has offered more opportunity for prosperity than any other country. You can make it if you try. Hard.

And millions of Americans have sacrificed their lives so that other people could be free. Pretty noble, right Gen Z?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Progressives Won't Stop

2025-06-30T07:00:00Z

You have to give some credit to the anti-Trump movement for creativity. Consistently, it comes up with unprecedented ways to undermine the President and, in the process, causes legal mayhem that progressives cheer.

When President Biden took office in 2021, he issued Executive Orders that badly damaged the nation. Yet Republicans did not attempt to undermine executive authority in the courts.

But after Donald Trump assumed office for a second time, Democrats did the exact opposite. They immediately tried to shut down his Executive Orders, many of which reversed Biden's failed policies.

The Dems did this by roaming the country searching for sympathetic liberal judges who issued rulings blocking Trump's vision. Thus, a far-left judge in Washington State or Massachusetts, for example, could stop an Execution Order for the entire country.

This was absurd and unconstitutional. I predicted the Supreme Court would slap down the political judges, and on Friday, it did. By a 6-3 margin, the nation's highest court said judges cannot stop national policy. They can only deal with individual cases in their jurisdictions.

Of course, the three liberal justices dissented because they didn't like the President. They are fine with politicized judges in Vermont gutting Presidential authority nationwide.

For now, the brilliance of the Constitution still rules. But progressives are hell-bent on changing what Jefferson and Madison envisioned. They won't stop.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Police States

2025-06-27T07:00:00Z

Remember that nitwit Baghdad Bob, Saddam Hussein's mouthpiece? In the early days of the Iraq War, old Bob amused the world by proclaiming a great victory for his murderous master. Then, one day, Bob vanished, literally. No one can find him.

I was reminded of that when I saw the head Iranian mullah on TV proclaiming the great victory his country has achieved over Israel and America. Apparently wearing a bathrobe, the guy spewed the most preposterous gibberish imaginable.

In Iraq and Iran, there is no information flow. Those governments do their best to block social media and fact-based reporting. So, the population is generally clueless.

China is the most intense police state I have ever seen, and I've been around. Post-war Vietnam, Cuba, communist Romania, Russia, etc., Beijing controls all information. The people know nothing. Correction: they do know any dissident will be harshly punished.

This is Fourth of July week in the USA. We now have a corrupt media, and it's far more difficult to get accurate information than it used to be. However, we do have thousands of information outlets not controlled by the government. The average Chinese citizen would be stunned.

So, thank you, Founding Fathers and the Supreme Court. Yes, the country is flawed. But it's still a beacon of freedom.

Something to ponder when celebrating the Fourth.

Emotional Bias

2025-06-26T07:00:00Z

Reporters and news analysts should not become emotionally involved with stories or the people involved with them.

Best example of that is President Trump. The haters and cheerleaders are doing a disservice to honest journalism.

I perfectly understand why the President wants positive news coverage and rewards people who provide it. But I don't have a hard time covering the man fairly, even though I've known him for three decades. I simply analyze what he does, NOT WHAT HE SAYS. That's because Donald Trump uses rhetoric and social media as a negotiating tool. Things can change minute-to-minute with him.

Over the years, the President has been frustrated with me, but I never took it personally. He wants what he wants. All powerful people are like that. Putin will poison you if you get out of line.

So far, President Trump is doing the right thing on national security. The economy is undefined. Woke is on the run, which is a good thing.

Mr. Trump is a high-stakes gambler, no question. Tariffs, bombs, migrant roundups, the nation has never seen a President like this.

It all might make America stronger. Or not. A definition will become clear fairly soon.

And we'll cover it fairly.

Unreliable Reporting

2025-06-25T07:00:00Z

President Trump is lashing out at CNN and MSNBC for saying the U.S. bombing mission was not the success the administration claims. Using anonymous sources, CNN cites "intelligence analysts" as the source for this dubious reporting.

The truth is that nobody knows the extent of the damage at the uranium depots, not even the President. How could he assess the situation? There are no Americans on the ground near the targets, and the Iranians themselves can't go underground for fear of the earth above them collapsing. They wouldn't tell the truth anyway.

Satellite pictures show huge surface damage and mountain cave-ins. It looks devastating. But there is no scorecard so the CNN report is unreliable. No surprise.

The merchants of malice in the media don't care what is actually true. They make their money hating or approving of Donald Trump. It's all so tedious. Yet, it never ends.

The odds are the U.S. bombing did inflict tremendous damage on Iran's nuke program. Otherwise, the Mullahs would be gloating. They are not. They are frightened.

So, that's the truth. The nuke damage will someday be assessed. But don't count on the American media to report on it honestly.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Market Rises Amid Chaos

2025-06-24T07:00:00Z

Here's something perplexing. On Monday, the stock market was up big. With the Iran chaos, it should have declined. I make my living analyzing important events, and this is mystifying.

The financial pinheads have no blankin' clue, of course, but they won't be honest and say that on television. Instead, they blather on, wasting everyone's time.

So here's what I'm doing to protect myself from harm. I have sold all my speculative stocks. Not the time for them. Too much chaos in the world. I am keeping conservative mutual funds and dividend-paying large corporation stocks. No crypto, no cloud, no trendy investments.

I do believe things will eventually calm down, and President Trump's overall vision will be successful. But that's what I want to believe. There's no special insight into his policies other than they are mostly logical.

Finally, the Iran strike was the right thing to do. No question in my mind. The world will be safer, and the message is clear: Trump isn't Biden. There will be no surrender.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Tonight's Show

2025-06-23T23:00:00Z

We experienced massive technical problems today while taping the No Spin News. So, the program was delayed but is now available. We apologize. This should never happen.

I am also taking the content of the show to NewsNation where I will be with Leland Vittert from 9 to 9:30. Hopefully, you can watch that because we have outstanding information about Iran.

Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience. We should be straightened out for tomorrow's No Spin News.

The Facts on Iran

2025-06-23T07:30:00Z

Critics of President Trump now say that his decision to pull out of the nuke deal with Iran on May 8, 2018, is the cause of the military confrontation we are presently dealing with.

So, let's take a fact-based look at the accusation. President Obama and his Secretary of State, John Kerry, secured a deal with the Mullahs on July 14, 2015. Iran agreed to stop weaponizing uranium in return for $1.7 billion in frozen funding and other relief on sanctions.

After assuming office in 2017, Mr. Trump believed Iran was cheating, saying: "In the years since the deal was reached, Iran's military budget has grown by almost 40 percent ...

After the sanctions were lifted, the dictatorship used its new funds to build nuclear-capable missiles, support terrorism, and cause havoc..."

"The agreement was so poorly negotiated that even if Iran fully complies, the regime can still be on the verge of a nuclear breakout in just a short period of time."

The other countries involved with the nuke deal dissented and stayed in it. Germany, France, and the UK issued a joint statement: "We encourage Iran to show restraint in response to the decision by the U.S.; Iran must continue to meet its own obligations under the deal, cooperating fully and in a timely manner with IAEA inspection requirements."

Of course, Iran did not do that. In its latest report, the IAEA says the Mullahs violated the agreement by enriching uranium from the agreed-upon 3.6 percent to 60 percent, close to bomb territory.

So who's zoomin' who here? Iran took the Obama money and abused the deal. That's what the country did.

And now you know the rest of the story.

See you for more Iranian coverage tonight on the No Spin News.

Discussions on Iran

2025-06-20T07:43:00Z

President Trump is wise to take his time deciding on military action against Iran. There's little urgency as the Mullahs are finished as a powerful threat. Not one country in the world is supporting Iran.

Everyone knows it's over.

The President would like the Mullahs to surrender so US air power could sit it out. And that's possible. Many discussions are taking place in dark rooms.

It is long past time for some semblance of order in the world. That's the strategy I offered the Chinese authoritarians in Beijing a few weeks ago. Partner up with the USA to impose order by eliminating threats. What's the downside to that? A calmer world means more prosperity for all. You don't have to be Winston Churchill to figure that out.

With nuclear weapons locked and loaded, the world can no longer tolerate crazed killers wielding power. But a united front against psychopathic leadership will be necessary to eliminate threats.

The terrorists in Iran are likely to be the first ones to implode. It is certainly possible other villains will follow.

Enjoy the weekend. Sunday column ahead.

Accountability on Both Sides

2025-06-19T07:00:00Z

Some on the right do not like CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins but I respect her questioning. She's incisive in her queries and challenges President Trump and others.

Yes, it's true she works for a liberal organization and is under pressure to be tougher on Republicans than Democrats. But she's not in the tank as many TV news people are.

I've only spoken to Ms. Collins briefly, so I can't ascertain her point of view in general. But I like the tough questions and hope she expands that franchise to the Trump haters and progressive left zealots. If she did that, CNN would benefit.

The other day, Whoopi Goldberg represented ABC News by saying gays are tied to cars and dragged through the streets. Congressman Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts put forth that his late father fought the Nazis, and now he is doing the same thing by opposing the President.

Far-left fanatics and cranks are running wild in this country, so Kaitlan Collins has many potential interviews if she wants them.

Does she? Would CNN permit it? Don't know. But like the Ghostbusters, I am ready to explore the unknown. Go get 'em, Kaitlan. Make your name. Both sides need to be held accountable.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trusting People

2025-06-18T07:00:00Z

Johnny Carson's first network show was a quiz program called "Who Do You Trust?" If that were broadcast today, the collective answer might be: very few!

Back in the 1950s and '60s, lying and stealing were kind of serious. If caught, you likely paid a price. Not anymore.

A new academic study puts forth that trusting other people increases happiness. Trust helps us form "vital social connections" and prosper.

Well, that's nice. So is Peter Pan. There's a reason Judas Iscariot is featured in the New Testament. As the cliche goes, let's get real.

Trust is earned. Over a period of time. We've all been betrayed. Doesn't mean you go cynical and isolationist. But caution regarding others is a necessity.

At the end of my mother's life, I had to hire caregivers to stay with her in the house. Most of them stole things, then lied about it. Ask any attorney, and they'll tell you perjury in the courtroom now dominates legal proceedings.

Adultery, fraud, deceit in the marketplace, scams in social media - all out of control.

So, trusting others does remain a noble thing. But be careful. Very careful.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Philly vs. Trump

2025-06-17T07:00:00Z

Philadelphia is a working-class town that leans far left. A blend of white progressives, black liberals, and a strong Democratic machine has turned Philly into the "City of Brotherly Love Unless You Love Trump, Then We Hate You."

The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper reliably spouts the progressive line because, other than sports, that's pretty much all there is in Rittenhouse Square.

Therefore, it was amusing to read far-left columnist Will Bunch's latest anti-Trump screed, where he championed the "No King" protests while attacking the military parade.

"But Trump had already been defeated in the streets by everyday citizens who stopped his immoral invasion against the soul of America..."

Geez. First off, the demonstrations didn't stop anything. President Trump is doing what he believes is right for the country. Sorry, Will, you're living in the Land of Oz.

Secondly, what's this "immoral invasion" stuff? Must be the ICE raids. Perhaps the immoral tag might be applied to President Biden, who took an oath to uphold the law, then totally ignored the immigration statutes.

That sounds a bit immoral to me.

But not to Will Bunch, who I am nicknaming "Wild." As in "Wild Bunch." It's a movie directed by Sam Peckinpah.

Worth seeing. Which is more than I can say for the dopey column.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Voting Against Trump

2025-06-16T14:22:00Z

Back in November, 75 million Americans voted for Kamala Harris to lead the nation. That despite the fact she supported every single Biden policy, a stunning statement by her on The View.

In addition, Ms. Harris was one of the most inarticulate presidential candidates ever. She makes "Silent" Cal Coolidge look like Stephen A. Smith.

So, it is my theory that the majority of Harris voters cast their ballots AGAINST Donald Trump rather than for the misguided Kamala.

Thus, it was no surprise that a bunch of "No Kings" demonstrations unfolded across the country on Saturday. Thousands of Americans will loathe Mr. Trump no matter what he does. In this age of narcissism, many folks will never admit mistakes, and if you are honest, you must concede the President makes it easy for opponents to dislike him.

My assessment of Donald Trump is based on what he does, not what he says, because he changes his mind quickly and uses hyperbole to make points. So far, his policies are backing up his campaign promises. Since more than 80 million Americans voted for him, the king thing seems dumb. Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do.

That's refreshing for his supporters, infuriating for the Biden/Kamala people. The USA will never crown a king. But watch out for the court jesters.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump's Bill

2025-06-13T07:00:00Z

Many Americans are supremely confused about the Trump tax/spend bill currently being ferociously debated in the Senate after passing in the House by one vote. One. Uno.

So here's the deal, as Joe Biden might say. About 11 percent of Americans currently live below the poverty line. That's around 37 million people, according to the census. Most of them have TVs, smartphones, appliances, necessities.

The Trump bill will not directly elevate those folks, most of whom are receiving a variety of welfare payments. That's because the poor don't pay income tax, so how can you cut it for them? They do pay social security taxes if they derive any on-the-books income.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, which is often inaccurate, the Trump bill will help middle-class families, rich people, and small businesses because the current tax rate stays the same. If the bill fails, everyone who makes money in the marketplace will pay more to the government come January 1, 2026.

That's what the Democrats want. Higher taxes on workers and entrepreneurs, more free stuff for the poor. That's the slouching toward socialism model.

Americans should understand that capitalism rewards the industrious. Yes, our system provides safety nets to those who cannot or will not compete, but we as a nation are not required to support other people if the expenditures lead to economic hardship for all. A line must be drawn.

Liberal Americans reject any line. They are happy to support layabouts, as demonstrated by their opposition to Medicaid work mandates.

Finally, capitalism has rewarded me, so I give millions to charity to help people I believe are in need. Americans are the most generous people on earth in charitable giving. But fairness means accountability. The Trump bill spotlights that. It should pass because if it doesn't, the socialists will take on huge momentum. And that will be the ruin of America.

New column coming on Father's Day.

The Deaths of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone

2025-06-12T07:00:00Z

Mortality got closer to the Baby Boom generation with the deaths of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone this week. Both are pop icons, both succumbing in their early 80's.

These men were creative geniuses who destroyed their lives with drugs, not uncommon in the music industry, where permissive and self-destructive behavior is often acceptable.

I met Mr. Wilson once when The Beach Boys were on their 50th Anniversary Tour. I know Mike Love and Bruce Johnston pretty well and understand how this amazingly talented band came apart. The unsteady Wilson simply could not function in the real world. He was so fogged out when I shook hands with him there was nothing to say.

Sly Stone was even worse, sacrificing his immense talent on the altar of cocaine and hurting those around him in profound ways. The guy delivered amazing performances before he flamed out. You should watch on YouTube.

The insidious world of narcotics came in strong during the 1960s when Wilson and Stone were red hot. Their God-given talent could not save them. They squandered it all, as millions of human beings have done.

A shame. A lesson. One that should be noted.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Exposing the Truth

2025-06-11T07:00:00Z

John Solomon is a first-rate journalist, a dying breed. He runs an outfit called "Just the News," which I closely follow because the information is always solid.

This week, Solomon reported that the organization behind the LA anti-ICE demonstrations is The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, an open border advocacy group. George Soros' Open Society Foundation has ties to the Coalition.

And here's where the story gets sensational. The State of California has given the Coalition a massive amount of money in grants, about $34 million in 2023 alone. In addition, the Biden administration gave the radical left agency almost $200,000 in 2023.

So, in effect, California and Biden used taxpayer money to fund the violent displays over the weekend. One can make a solid case to back up that statement.

The continuing point is that progressive leftists control the state of California and had deep influence under Biden. Few know the true extent of it.

Thank you, John Solomon, for the expose. Badly needed. The folks deserve the truth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Anti-ICE Riots

2025-06-10T07:00:00Z

There are a number of reasons why the Trump administration is sending the military to contain the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. We discussed the politics of the action last night on the No Spin News. Hope you saw that.

But here's a motivation rarely discussed. During the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis in the spring of 2020, 520 individuals were charged with serious crimes. You may remember the city was on fire, billions of dollars in damages, scores of people hurt, looting out of control.

Well, out of the 520 cases, all but 26 were dismissed. The accused walked. The liberals that run Minnesota did not want to punish miscreants.

President Trump believes the exact same thing will happen in Los Angeles. Few will be charged. Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass don't blame the lawbreakers; they blame the President for the riots. The thinking is that ICE should not even exist; most deportation efforts should cease.

In addition, relatively few violent protesters did time after the Rodney King riots in 1992 when President Bush the Elder used the military to stop the carnage in LA. I was there; it was a dangerous and harrowing public safety situation.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 gives all presidents the power to use the military when local authorities cannot ensure public safety. Like now. In Los Angeles.

Wielding Power

2025-06-09T14:20:00Z

In order to understand the Trump/Musk dust-up, you have to understand the world of power as well as the pursuit of it: extremely complicated scenarios.

In my book "Confronting the Presidents," we vividly portray how all 45 men dealt with power. Most struggled with it because extreme discipline is needed to stay grounded in the real world. Abraham Lincoln handled it, and so did George Washington. However, others like Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon allowed themselves to misuse their authority.

Both President Trump and Elon Musk live in worlds where they call all the shots. There are few personal constraints on folks who have vast wealth and influence.

But when the powerful step out of their self-constructed bubbles, things can go south in a hurry.

The cliche is "staying in your own lane." Mr. Musk took a risky U-turn by hammering the President's tax and spending bill. The richest man in the world did not have to do that publicly. But he did.

Donald Trump's reaction was predictable on every level. He expects loyalty from those in the administration, as all presidents do. Also, he badly needs the bill to be passed so taxes don't automatically rise. That would likely lead to recession, dooming the President in the midterms.

Therefore, the proposed bill is vital to Donald Trump's legacy. An attack on it is an attack on him. That's the world of power.

I don't know if Elon Musk understands that. Vast wealth and power can absolutely obscure positive decision-making. History proves it again and again. Dial up Napoleon.

Summing up, wielding power is a very rough game. Few participants emerge unscathed.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump vs. Musk

2025-06-06T03:17:00Z

The anti-Trump cadres in America are thrilled President Trump and Elon Musk are feuding. Perfect story for them, but as far as the regular Americans are concerned, it means little.

I have no idea about the President's association with Mr. Musk, not privy to any inside information. I believe Elon did a good job exposing government waste and paid a heavy price for his efforts. I've had to deal with the vicious left myself, so I understand the unfairness of what happened to him.

President Trump is a strong personality who reacts emotionally at times. Over my 35-year friendship with him, he's been disenchanted with my analysis a number of times. Who hasn't been? But I think he respects my honesty.

The goal here has always been to apply fairness to the President. That's all I can do.

Both Trump and Musk are top-line personalities. That's a rough neighborhood. Lots of ego and confrontation. You don't get where they are by being Little Bo Peep.

I hope there's detente. Both men are forces of nature. It's best for the country that they strive to improve it. Feuding doesn't do that.

Enjoy the weekend.

2026 Midterms

2025-06-05T07:00:00Z

This time next year, 2026, there will be Intense congressional campaigning going on coast-to-coast. The midterms in November '26 are historically important.

That's because President Trump is redesigning the federal government and needs four years to accomplish his vision. If the Democrats gain control of the House or Senate, Mr. Trump will be severely constrained.

Much depends on whether Trump's bold moves will improve the economy. We'll know that late this year as data emerges.

But another major factor is the radicalization of the Democratic Party. It opposes nearly every solution President Trump is putting forth.

Cracking down on illegal immigration? No from the left. Cutting entitlement spending and downsizing government? Nope.

Stopping liberal indoctrination in colleges? Democrats oppose. Biological men competing against women in sports? Dems generally support. Tariffs to encourage fair trade? Oppose. Strict punishment for criminals? No way. Hiring and school admissions based on skin color. All day long.

The list of progressive policies is almost endless, and it's like a python strangling the Democratic Party. Do American voters really want to return to the Biden years? Are there prominent Democrats criticizing those years?

Not that I can find.

So, the midterm campaigns are likely to be difficult for the left, and that's a big break for Donald Trump.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Ignoring the Outrage

2025-06-04T07:00:00Z

If you follow our news coverage and analysis, and more than 30 million folks did in May, you know that I stay completely away from the "outrage du jour" unless it directly affects your life.

The corrupt corporate media is obsessed with the latest outrageous presidential texts and ridiculous conspiracy theories. That's how social media nitwits get attention, by peddling moronic scenarios and/or launching partisan-driven personal attacks.

For serious people, that's an astounding waste of time. But as we know, the confused heavily outnumber the astute not only in America but also around the world.

Last week, we demonstrated exactly how important information should be delivered with my China experience. I financed and researched the entire journey. That way, I am beholden to no one. There is no corrupt organization telling me what to say. I hope you will benefit from our analysis regarding China and the USA, the most important story in the world.

Sorry, Taylor Swift.

And the next time you see something stupid in the media, let me know. Bill@BillOReilly.com. We're going to start holding people accountable.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Problem With CNN

2025-06-03T07:36:00Z

In real life, I don't watch a lot of TV news because I learn very little by doing so. Yes, I run my own news agency, so I have access to information far beyond most folks. But the main reason television media fails me is because it's incredibly lazy.

While in the Far East at the end of May, I watched CNN in the evening because that was my only source for American news. No Fox, no NBC. CNN has the overseas market locked up. Because of the 12-hour time difference, I was consuming CNN's morning programming. It featured skilled broadcasters, but the presentation was mostly biased and foolish.

Here's what the network does. It selects a topic, say Trump's battle with Harvard. Then, it brings in a guest who bashes the President without challenge or even interruption. Over and over again, this happens. Liberal guests bloviate while the anchor naps.

And I don't blame the news person. It's incredibly boring. Predictable. A waste of time.

This lazy formula isn't working, as CNN's viewership has dramatically declined. Yet the producers seem satisfied because every day it's the same thing.

Why? I don't know. It's not difficult to mix it up with different points of view. But apparently, that's beyond CNN's capability.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Wrap Up of Bill's Asian Adventure

2025-06-02T07:00:00Z

Back in the USA from the Far East. For me, a very positive development. Not being nationalistic here but America has far more options than any other country. There's not even a close second.

Here are some quick observations from the road.

- We saw very few American vehicles in Japan, China, and South Korea. The trade con is absolutely a reality. The Trump tariff war has context.

- All three airlines we used, Air Japan, China Air, and Korean Airways, are better than US carriers. It should not be this way. Korean Air offered the best experience of the three.

- The average American lives far better than his or her counterpart in the Far East. There's absolutely no comparison especially on housing. Most folks are jammed into apartments over there.

- Compared to North Asian environments, we Americans are slobs. The public areas are very clean in Japan, China, and Korea, and most folks have a neat appearance, although their clothing is generally modest.

- By contrast, many American tourists looked terrible. Tattoos, polyester, sweat clothing. Dismal.

- Japan and South Korea are free. China and North Korea are fearsome police states. No individual rights whatsoever.

- Not many Americans wandering around Tokyo, Kyoto, Beijing, and Seoul. Probably a good thing. Language barrier is significant. They have "thanks so much" down, but that's about it.

I have now seen most of Asia. Each country is very different than the other. Historical bitterness remains, but not much hostility on display. Learned a lot.

See you this evening for the return of the No Spin News.

Bill's Time in China

2025-05-29T07:00:00Z

(Beijing, China) Welcome to the police state. Cameras on high everywhere. There has never been a surveillance system like this on the planet. As Sting once sang: "Every step you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you."

The Chinese communist government has firm control over its 1.5 billion citizens. That's about five times more than the USA. There is little public dissent because the law is clear: no violations of "the normal social order."

Of course, that could be anything. So, the streets of Beijing are clean; littering would be a violation. Public drug use: impossible. Homeless, not tolerated. There is no "bail reform," and never will be.

I had been to China before, but this is a far different situation than in the past, and it caught me a bit by surprise.

After a half-mile walk from my flight gate to immigration, I found myself face-to-face with a young woman who had absolute power over me. I had flown in from Osaka, Japan and crisply presented my passport and customs card.

She scanned them. Then her first words: "When you leave?"

I felt like I was watching that old Groucho Marx movie where the zany guy runs around saying, "Hello, I must be going!"

I gently told the uniformed lady that I was due to fly out in three days. She frowned. She stared at the computer, for a long time.

I said nothing.

Finally, I was waived in. Tourism to China is down 60 percent since COVID. Clearly, welcoming folks is not a priority.

But things improved. The Four Seasons Hotel was first class, service and food great. Outside, cameras watched. The Chinese on the street were largely indifferent to foreigners even though some of the Americans walking around looked like they flew in from a Hell's Angels convention. Tattoos galore. Very few locals have tats because they are associated with criminal activity in China. That's not a good look if you're worried about conforming to normal social order.

Which everyone is.

My purpose in Beijing was to address a number of government people about the Trump administration. The Beijing power brokers follow my television commentary on social media and my books, especially "The United States of Trump."

The invitation I received in New York to speak was very kind and I will tell you what happened in my Sunday column posted on BillOReilly.com. After the event, which was absolutely extraordinary, I left town fairly quickly.

Hello, I must be going. For sure. Talk on Sunday. Back on TV Monday.

Bill in Asia - Dispatch Four

2025-05-26T16:28:00Z

Wrapping it up in Japan, heading out to China Tuesday morning (we're 13 hours ahead of East Coast time here). Some observations. This is my third visit to the land of the rising sun. Stable society, not very different from USA economically. Gasoline about 5 bucks a gallon, food costs in line with us. Much smaller homes and expectations.

The big difference is diet. Only about four percent of Japanese are obese, not counting Sumo wrestlers. Approximately 40 percent of American adults are seriously overweight. Two reasons: the Japanese don't drink sugar all day long, and peer pressure admires the slender. In general, the Japanese care very much about what their neighbors think about them. They eat in moderation.

Life expectancy for the ladies is around 88, the men 82. Generally, Japanese society respects the elderly, unlike many Western countries, including ours.

As previously mentioned, social order is a top priority here. The Japanese don't approve of troublemakers. I've been on my best behavior.

China is a very different situation and I will check in with regularity. Enjoy Memorial Day. Explain it to the urchins.

Bill in Asia - Third Dispatch

2025-05-25T14:07:00Z

It's cloudy in Kyoto, one of Japan's nicest cities because tradition rules here. Unlike Tokyo and most other big towns, Kyoto was sparred bombing during World War II because US Secretary of War Henry Stimson saw no military reason to destroy the cultural center. We chronicle all of that in"Killing the Rising Sun."

Tokyo is the largest city in the world, more than 14 million residents. By comparison, New York has about 8 million, maybe less today as the exits to Florida continue unabated. Tokyo is perhaps the cleanest metropolis in the world and we didn't see one homeless person.

That's because drug use is not tolerated nor is social disorder. With about 130 million Japanese packed into a land mass the size of Montana, there is enormous pressure to conform to societal norms. Drug involved people are harshly punished. Few buy the disease excuse.

Therefore, Tokyo is a safe place which puts American urban situations to shame. That's the truth. Somebody tell San Francisco. Interesting pictures on the way.

Bill in Asia - Second Dispatch

2025-05-24T07:00:00Z

This is a place outside of Tokyo called the Bamboo Shrine, a Buddhist experience. Included in the admission price is a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. The beverage is served in a round ceramic bowl which must be handled with care. Here is the Q&A with our guide, Matsu.

M: Mr. Bill, before drinking, we must respect the bowl.

O'R: What?

M: The tea is hot, so don't drink it right away. Instead, raise the bowl with two hands and address it.

O'R: Does the bowl understand English? Should I say, 'Good afternoon, bowl?'

M: You don't have to talk. Just try to achieve harmony with both the bowl and the tea. Then you drink it.

O'R: What if the bowl doesn't like me? That wouldn't be unusual.

M: (Realizing it was a mistake to allow me into the country) Yes. That could be a problem. Harmony does not seem to be your strong point.

O'R: You're telling me!

In the end, I did respect the bowl; at least, it appeared that way. The tea was a little bitter.

Having a great time in the Land of the Rising Sun. Hope the Memorial Day Weekend is harmonic for you

Bill's North Asia Trip

2025-05-21T14:37:00Z

About six months ago, I offered to take my son anywhere in the world for his college graduation gift. I was hoping he would pick Tahiti. Instead, he came back with North Asia. That's what happens when you major in political science.

So, we are off to Japan, South Korea, and China, where I've been invited to do an event based on my book "The United States of Trump." It's a speech, then Q&A with government officials and the Chinese media. Pray for me on that.

One word I cannot say is "orient." That is banished officially in the USA and also in most Asian nations. But why?

The original orient description came from the Romans. Oriens, meaning east of Rome. Then Chaucer uses orient in "The Canterbury Tales." So far harmless.

Enter the hideous newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst. In 1909, one of his papers headlined "Oriental Contamination." Hearst himself is quoted as saying: "I am strongly in favor of Japanese exclusion, to prevent Orientals from swarming into the country and absolutely overrunning it." Nice.

That was it for oriental. In 2016, President Obama signed HR 4328, highlighting "oriental" as a racist term. Yes, that's woke, but there is valid context.

So it's North Asia for us. We live in a complicated world. For sure.

See you this evening for May's last No Spin News.

The Trump-Putin Call

2025-05-20T07:57:00Z

Predictably, the corrupt U.S. media put a negative spin on the Trump-Putin call Monday. The anti-Trump line is "same old" as the President did not get a ceasefire out of bad Vlad in Ukraine. Instead, more "negotiations" have been set.

Here's some perspective the corporate press will never provide. Donald Trump genuinely wants the killing in Ukraine to stop. He understands that only Putin can make that a reality. No other option exists. So Mr. Trump is allowing the evil Russian far more latitude than he usually would.

Essentially, the President is hoping.

I believe, but cannot state with absolute certainty, that Trump knows the evil he is dealing with here. If you read my upcoming book "Confronting Evil", you will understand that Vladimir Putin is a no remorse killer. Rehab is not going to happen.

But if Vlad can get some Ukrainian territory and walk away with a favorable trade deal, it might be enough. Certainly, that's an appeasement. Is it worth yet another try? Yes. If the West moves against Vlad, and it may have to, chaos will ensue.

So there you go. Trump's critics have nothing. As usual. Kind of boring at this point.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Joe Biden's Diagnosis

2025-05-19T07:00:00Z

Tough to digest President Biden and the cancer news. Perplexing. Presidents have yearly physicals. How did they miss that in 2024? We're gathering information for tonight.

It's safe to say the USA had some luck, even if Joe did not. Had he won a second term, something he desperately wanted, America would have been in deep trouble.

The world is extremely turbulent right now. This country HAS to project strength.

Woodrow Wilson and Grover Cleveland were both infirmed in their presidential terms. But the public didn't know. They hid Wilson in the White House after his stroke, and his wife Edith ran the Executive Branch. Cleveland disappeared to Buzzards Bay in Cape Cod after being diagnosed with cancer of the mouth.

Of course, those deceptions could not happen today. Wait. I'm thinking about the Biden mental acuity thing. I guess deception did take place. We'll have to confirm that with the corporate media.

I sincerely hope Joe Biden can survive this and doesn't suffer too much in the process. My father died of cancer. I know what this is. Prayers for the Bidens.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden Cover-Up

2025-05-16T07:00:00Z

Writing on the Mediate website, Colby Hall analyzes how the three cable networks are covering the book "Original Sin," which chronicles how Democrats and much of the corporate media covered up President Biden's decline in office.

Hall's column is well reported and basically says MSNBC doesn't want any part of the book, and Fox News is gloating about the expose but hammering coauthor Jake Tapper because he's admitted he looked the other way during Biden's term.

I proved that on Thursday night, using video clips from Tapper, whose employer, CNN, is promoting the book.

But lost in the Biden furor is the motivation for the now obvious press cover-up. Once again, it comes down to hating Trump. I submit that even after the current exposition, many leftist press people would rather have Biden in office than Trump. Right now. Give me more Joe, even if he's delusional. Better than the devil himself.

No media person would ever admit this, but it's true. Hate means never having to say you're sorry.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Honoring Vietnam Vets

2025-05-15T07:00:00Z

Recently, I discussed giving Vietnam Vets in America a special proclamation this Memorial Day. I talked it over with the President of the United States himself. Briefly.

I hope that comes to pass. Young American men fought bravely in Southeast Asia against a Communist army that was intent on subjugating their countrymen. The war was similar to Korea, where U. S. forces prevented the communist North Koreans from taking over the South.

Today, North Korea is a frightening totalitarian state, while South Korea is a prosperous democracy. Brave Americans did that.

In Vietnam, the situation turned out differently largely because of President Lyndon Johnson, a deceitful and incompetent Commander-in-Chief. In the end, the Communist North violated the peace treaty engineered by President Nixon, and American blood could not prevent the political catastrophe. No freedom in Vietnam to this day.

But hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops tried to prevent totalitarianism at great sacrifice. And they should be remembered and honored. Our presence in Vietnam was noble even if the result ultimately failed.

And so, this coming Memorial Day, the Vietnam Vets should be honored. It's the right thing to do even after 50 years.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Self-Help

2025-05-14T13:49:00Z

One of the biggest-selling books of the year is a self-help tome called "The Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins. The central theme is we should stop trying to control others and concentrate on being better individuals.

The Robbins book is similar to one based on Asian philosophy entitled "Do Nothing." Same approach. Many people will disappoint you; nothing you can do but absorb it. Don't make yourself crazy.

Fifty years in a profession will do that. I'm not letting them, Mel. I'm calling them out!

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Democrats Remain Bewildered

2025-05-13T07:00:00Z

Here's proof the Democrats remain bewildered, stuck in a time warp too dense for even "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" to consider.

After President Trump announced his Executive Order to install lower prices on Medicare drugs, the Dems should have raised a collective glass in approval.

Of course, the party did not, as anti-Trump zealots descended into a myriad of gibberish zones. It was another sad spectacle.

Once upon a time, Democrats actually wanted to help the folks. Lower costs for federal medicines obviously makes the lives of senior citizens better. Joe Biden could have done this but did not. And the Democratic leadership didn't push him to do it.

Why not?

Don't know for sure, but I suspect taking on the powerful pharmaceutical industry was simply too much for the party. In fact, other than massive and unending government spending, the Dems don't seem to have anything else in the playbook. Biden didn't even try to negotiate the cost of military trans treatments down. $52 million a year on that and all the Bud Light you want.

Monday was a good day for Trump and another bad day for his opposition. The Don sank a number of three-point shots. The other side couldn't even get off the bench.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump Coverage

2025-05-12T07:00:00Z

One of the reasons we have about a 90 percent retention rate among BillOReilly.com Premium Members is our reporting on President Trump. Alert Americans well understand the difficulty in assessing the truth about the most controversial Chief Executive in history. And that designation is not even close. Lyndon Johnson would be a distant second.

While it is true that millions of Americans do not seek the truth about Mr. Trump, they are happy to either love or loathe him, it is imperative to those living smart lives to actually know what's going on in the White House. That's where I, your humble correspondent, come in.

I know. My sources are impeccable.

Here's some backup. After his inauguration, the President set out to feverishly impose his agenda. There are two tracks to this. The first is obliterating failed Biden polices like the open border and constraining regulations on energy. The Trump administration knocked those down in record time.

The second pathway is the personal stuff: punishing those who Trump believes corrupted the justice system, as well as redesigning how our economy will function going forward. That's the tariff/trade deals play. Here, the going has been much tougher as the Trump's resistance movement is attacking him in the federal courts.

The other day, I was answering questions from a friend who does not support President Trump. Rather than try to convince him to change his mind, I simply said that if the President is successful, the country will be dramatically stronger going forward. Then I ran down the list: more employment opportunities with higher pay, peace abroad, far less waste of tax dollars, including breaking the leftist ideologies that dominate the nation's colleges.

Yes, the guy pushed back on some details as he should have. But I summed it up by saying that although I might implement things a bit differently, most of Trump's goals are essentially noble. Tough to argue with that. And he didn't.

See you this evening for the No Spin News!

The First American Pope

2025-05-09T07:00:00Z

It took about 30 minutes before the ideological zealots zeroed in on Pope Leo XIV. Far-right influencer Laura Loomer called him a Marxist while the real Marxists desperately searched for anything anti-Trump that Cardinal Robert Prevost might have said in the past.

Such a cheap game. Catholic clerics, as well as the faithful, are directed by scripture to help the poor. Most undocumented migrants fall into that category. Assisting them while obeying the law is imperative for Roman Catholics.

I hope the new Pope will depart somewhat from Pope Francis' view that controlling the flow of humanity around the world is not important. Francis, in my humble view, did not take into account the negative social consequences of unfettered immigration; chaos always leads to destruction. That's why laws exist.

It is possible to help people in need lawfully. My charitable foundation has done it for 25 years. That is the noble way to go. If you are hurting some people in order to help others, a reset is obviously needed.

Pope Leo, the first American Pope, can do much good for the planet. I will offer Mass for him this Sunday. I am fervently rooting for his success and wisdom. In this world, we desperately need forces for good.

Don't we?

Enjoy the weekend.

My Tariff Proposal

2025-05-08T14:08:00Z

Sometimes protectionism can be good. And now with President Trump proposing tariffs on movies made outside of the USA, we might expand our vision as to who and what should be tariffed. Here's a list submitted for your approval.

- Prince Harry
- The Beckham Family
- Abba
- Rosie O'Donnell (if she tries to come back from Ireland).
- Bratwurst
- Steak and Kidney pie
- Herring
- Tapas
- Sumo wrestlers
- Anyone from Wuhan
- Pandas
- Koalas
- Goat curry
- Lederhosen
- Anything pertaining to Godzilla
- Dracula
- The Mummy
- The Wolfman
- The Loch Ness Monster
- Blood Pudding
- Houthi's (The Blowfish are okay)

All of the above should be heavily tariffed for the good of this nation. Let's get on it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News!

Misleading Media

2025-05-07T07:56:00Z

Remember the media hysteria over President Trump allegedly running for a third term? Lots of empty rhetoric on that one. He won't do it.

Then there was making Canada a state. Fury all over the place. Apparently, that's not happening. Invading Panama, no! Occupying Greenland? Don't think so. Making Gaza into Miami Beach? Doesn't look like it.

Do you sense a pattern here? An incredibly foolish media falling for every single provocative thing Mr. Trump says.

The latest is obeying the Constitution. Apparently, Kristen Welker of NBC News is very, very concerned Mr. Trump will ignore it. Here's what she said on Sunday.

"Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as President?"

To which Mr. Trump replied: "I don't know. I have to respond again by saying I have brilliant lawyers that work for me and they are obviously going to follow what the Supreme Court says."

Okay. But the headline was misleading. It simply said Trump "doesn't know" if he has to follow the Constitution.

The discussion was about due process for undocumented migrants. The Supreme Court will have to make some rulings on that shortly.

So, the President's answer was not a repudiation of the law, was it?

Another brick in the media wall.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Democrats Opposing Solutions

2025-05-06T07:58:00Z

We all pay taxes, so our elected officials will have money to protect us and solve problems. That's Civics 101. But you may have noticed that few schools teach civics any longer. Certainly, the politicians have noticed.

My current take is the Democrats really are not trying to solve difficult situations. They are solely interested in opposing Trump. Here are some questions to back my assertion up.

What is the Democrat's solution to the 37 trillion dollar debt?

To illegal drugs being smuggled in from Mexico?

To ending the wars in Ukraine and Gaza?

To the yearly trillion dollar trade deficit?

To preventing Iran from building nuclear weapons?

To the exploding cost of health care?

President Biden had no specific plans to improve any of those things and it looks like his party is carrying on Joe's tradition. Maybe I missed Democratic-sponsored legislation on those issues, but I doubt it.

Much easier to oppose solutions from the Trump administration. Right?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Mexico vs. Trump

2025-05-05T07:13:00Z

There is something rotten in Mexico City. According to reports in The Wall Street Journal, Presidente Claudia Sheinbaum is refusing to cooperate with the Trump administration in joint military action against the drug cartels.

As you may know, President Trump signed an Executive Order designating the cartels as "terrorist organizations." That means that the USA can hunt down and kill or incarcerate these savages anywhere in the world. The cartels are responsible for hundreds of thousands of drug overdose deaths in America, so the EO is absolutely essential to protecting our country.

But, somehow, Ms. Sheinbaum doesn't see it that way. The mystery is why not? She should want the cartels destroyed, and obviously, Mexico can't do it. According to a variety of human rights groups, the vicious drug gangs are responsible for more than 500,000 murders in Mexico since 2006. A half million dead. And Sheinbaum is resisting American help?

It is a fact that many Mexican government and military officials have been bribed by the cartels. Everyone knows that. Therefore, it is imperative that President Sheinbaum explain her idiotic position. Listen, lady, you have a chance to restore dignity and a measure of safety to your country. Are you opposed to that?

How about wising up?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Standing by Your Vote

2025-05-02T07:13:00Z

As we reported on Thursday's No Spin News, a new Emerson College Poll says that six months after the election of 2024, most Americans are standing by their votes. A canvas of 1,000 voters shows 93 percent of Kamala Harris supporters would back her again, while 94 percent of Trump voters are standing by their man.

This illustrates two things: that most people don't like to admit mistakes and that the American electorate remains deeply divided. Harris and Trump have almost nothing in common. It's like comparing Porterhouse steak to kale.

Loyalty is a good thing; blind loyalty is not. Kamala Harris was a solution-free candidate who ran on the Biden status quo, which was a disaster.

Donald Trump is a disruptive national presence whose legacy will be defined over the next 12 months. He has a shot to enter Ronald Reagan territory or, if the economy craters, he may dance with the specter of Herbert Hoover.

So, that's where we are on the national political scene. I am standing by my Trump vote. I very much hope my vision last November will turn out to be perspicacious. I will admit failure if it doesn't.

Enjoy the weekend.

ABC News' Disaster Interview

2025-05-01T07:05:00Z

As we analyzed on the No Spin News, the ABC prime time interview with President Trump was a fiasco as well as a time waster. That's because correspondent Terry Moran spent far too much time on this Garcia guy who was deported to El Salvador. You know the story.

President Trump believes Garcia is a member of the designated terror group MS-13. He believes that because he wants to believe it and, no one on the planet is going to dissuade him.

Moran should have known that. But I'm guessing his bosses told him to hammer Trump with the Supreme Court's "facilitate" Garcia's return order.

In the end, the Supremes will have to issue another ruling because the MS-13 allegation is still undefined. The President is hoping stronger evidence emerges. That's why the slow walk on Garcia is taking place.

With the tariffs, Putin, China, Iran nukes, etc., the Garcia thing is way down the list of importance. But not to ABC.

And we will see you this evening for the No Spin News.

Assessing President Trump

2025-04-30T07:00:00Z

President Trump has not only rocked the boat, but he's "tipped the boat over," as the Hues Corporation once sang. The question now becomes, why? Most presidents are reactive, responding to visible controversies. Mr. Trump is proactive, sometimes even creating problems in order to change established thinking.

He did that with tariff, illegal immigration, and the woke culture. The pushback has been intense. The President is taking water in the polls, but the final accounting is months away.

Donald Trump is likely to win on sealing the border and stopping asylum madness. That is his signature achievement so far. The tariff thing is impossible to predict and his legacy is tied to making the economy better. The woke business is leaning as a Trump positive.

Most Americans, I believe, do not want skin color preferences in hiring and academia. Also, they don't want biological men kicking soccer balls at women. I am firmly convinced that if the Hollywood pinheads make a movie called "Lolita Who Used to be Jack", nobody will buy a ticket.

So, it will take some time to assess whether Trump's culture and economic upheaval will benefit the nation.

A fair statement, correct?

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Prescott Clueless

2025-04-29T07:11:00Z

Our guest writer today is Prescott Clueless, who has been reporting the news on television for years but is not an original thinker. Therefore, he's just what the corporate media wants and needs. Prescott will analyze President Trump's soft poll numbers.

"Thanks, Bill; it's an honor to address your audience. You know, at the end of the day, it's about not kicking the can down the road. The President has started a trade war because he believes that will help the economy. It is what it is, and we'll have to wait and see.

"In the meantime, let's take a deep dive into some of the these numbers. By the way, they are not good. In fact, they are bad. But the goalposts are moving, so anything could happen. If that does happen, the day's end might be a happy one, or maybe not. We'll see.

"What we've already seen is the polls, which show that Americans are concerned about the economy, which, by the way, is being affected by the tariffs, although I'm not sure why. Again, it is what it is because if it were not, then it wouldn't be happening. Perhaps things will get better but we'll have to wait and see if they do.

"That's what I make of this after diving deep and watching things unfold. Back to you, Bill."

Glad I could introduce Prescott to all. He is what he is.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump vs. the Press

2025-04-28T07:00:00Z

To say the corporate media is delighted by President Trump's falling poll numbers is the understatement of the year so far. The press wants Trump to fail so the media industry can be redeemed. Simple as that.

The polls are obviously driven by emotion. If the stock market comes roaring back, the President's job approval numbers will rise in tandem. If investments tank, look out below.

Most politicians are frightened and self-centered. Bold moves are rare. That's why Trump is so polarizing. He's the opposite of cautious and patient. That kind of governance always creates uncertainty.

Here's a partial list of other presidents who took on the establishment: Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Harry Truman. That's it. Donald Trump is bolder than them all.

But is that a good thing? Yes, on the border and government waste. Incomplete on remaking the economy. No, on Supreme Court compliance.

By September, the tariff thing will be decided. I think it will work to the benefit of working Americans, but I can't bet on it.

In the meantime, the media will continue to bash Trump no matter what.

It shouldn't be this way.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Reality Check

2025-04-25T07:00:00Z

While much of the American media remains fixated on damaging President Trump, some of us are actually reporting the reality of life on Earth. It is all about goals.

For example, Putin's current obsession is forcing waging an unnecessary war in order to obtain territory. I mean, killing hundreds of thousands to batter Ukraine? Why? That's heinous.

How about Iran paying terrorists to kill Jews? Israel doesn't threaten the Mullahs.

Another insane display of violence for no reason.

President Biden allowed 15 million foreign nationals and thousands of tons of deadly narcotics into the USA. Didn't even attempt to stop it? Why not?

Major American universities seek to indoctrinate leftist philosophy into their students and expect billions of taxpayer dollars in that pursuit.

Public broadcasting is hostile to conservative values yet wants $550 million taxpayer dollars annually.

Sanctuary cities openly protect violent criminals. The mayor of Boston is even proud of that. Why?

The states of Maine and Minnesota are defying a presidential order to stop biological men from competing with women in sports. Why?

The list is endless.

So, instead of pounding Trump every day, maybe the press might want to examine the above and tell the truth. Just for a change of pace.

Why not?

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Disrupters and Facilitators

2025-04-24T07:31:00Z

As Donald Trump approaches 100 days in office, it is becoming clear as to how he is running the country the second time around. The President has hired two different types of people to advance his agenda: disrupters and facilitators.

The D group is headed by Elon Musk, RFK, Jr., and Pete Hegseth. The F crew's composition includes Pam Bondi, Marco Rubio, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Now, why should you care? Well, Mr. Trump's policies directly affect your well-being, and that's why.

The disruption strategy is a full frontal assault on the establishment. Elon Musk has exposed government spending as largely out of control and wasteful. His flamboyance in doing that has made him powerful enemies. Mr. Musk will soon pivot back to the private sector, I believe.

Secretary Hegseth simply cannot succeed in the Pentagon. Far too many enemies because most working there are careerists and don't want change. General Patton would have trouble corralling this bunch. Mr. Hegseth will be back on Fox this year, I predict.

Few Americans know Scott Bessent, but he is emerging as a power. Here's something strange. Bessent made a fortune working for the dreaded George Soros decades ago. Apparently, old Scott has a different take these days.

Every White House is a tough environment. Bodies are piled high. Vicious in-fighting is a daily occurrence.

President Trump is a shrewd Chief Executive. But he's loaded up his roster with loyalists. Some of whom are short-timers. Remember, disruption works both ways.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trouble Ahead for Corporate Media

2025-04-23T07:00:00Z

Chalk up another media victory for President Trump as the boss of 60 Minutes, Bill Owens is quitting. His statement says that CBS/Paramount is making it impossible for the iconic program to maintain its independence.

Now, there is much to this story that should be examined. Paramount is trying to sell the CBS operation to a company named Skydance, which is run by the son of billionaire Larry Ellison. For that deal to happen, the federal government must sign off on it. That goes to the public airwaves thing.

Enter Donald Trump, who is suing CBS, alleging the network helped Kamala Harris in violation of election laws. President Trump loathes 60 Minutes ever since correspondent Leslie Stahl refused to acknowledge Clinton campaign corruption in the Russia election interference controversy.

So, the owners of Paramount are scrutinizing the anti-Trump stuff 60 Minutes regularly puts out. Mr. Owens says he cannot continue under those circumstances.

It is worth noting that the hate Trump media is screaming the loudest about this. It's also kind of sad that the once prestigious broadcast has fallen on hard times. As have many network news programs.

See you this evening for the independent No Spin News.

Post-Easter Rundown

2025-04-22T07:00:00Z

There's just never a down day with Trump in the White House. It's like New Orleans during Mardi Gras: hyperactivity all over the place. Let's run down some post-Easter important stuff.

The stock market continues to decline, and almost 60 percent of Americans now say they are delaying major purchases. That has a recession feel so this tariff thing better start getting resolved.

If trade deals happen soon, the markets will rocket and the President will have more power to force agreements in Ukraine and Iran.

The small ball stuff, like the guy in El Salvador, should cease. Bring him back. Have the Justice Department present evidence to the immigration judge assigned. Due process is a good thing. Embarrassing the corrupt media is also good. If the guy is MS-13, the press takes a huge hit.

Finally, this week, honor the humanity of Pope Francis. Put migrant policies aside and applaud his compassion. Yet another good thing.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Promoting an Ideology

2025-04-21T07:00:00Z

The world is essentially simple if you choose to apply reality to it. Of course, many folks avoid the real feel as much as they can. Much easier to believe what you want to believe. Nice cocoon.

Two political issues illustrate my point. First, the Trump administration believes Americans should not be forced to pay for ideological enterprises. So, there will be a bill introduced into Congress to stop about $550 million in tax money going to PBS and NPR annually.

Both of those organizations are fervently left-wing. They don't even fake it anymore. Example: The high-profile "Frontline" unit did an election documentary last fall. Guess how many Trump supporters were interviewed? That would be zero. There simply wasn't enough time, as the Frontliners featured more than ten Kamala Harris zealots.

You and I paid for that.

And then there's Harvard. According to the student newspaper, The Crimson, about 90 percent of the professors there are Democrats. Yet the school gets a tax exemption from the feds. Does the 90 percent number sound fair to you? Inclusive?

Obviously, the answer is no. Harvard is promoting a liberal philosophy on the public dime. This is wrong, as it would be if a Rush Limbaugh University got a free ride.

Federal tax exemptions were invented to help the "public interest," not to promote ideology. Harvard and PBS/NPR have First Amendment protections but not unfair propaganda exemptions. If they were to reform, promoting ALL responsible expression, then let the tax dollars flow.

But they won't. So, Trump is correct in holding them accountable.

Simple, right?

Religion in America

2025-04-18T07:00:00Z

As we approach Easter Sunday, Bill talks about the state of religion in America, and his Catholic upbringing.

Waiting for the Outcome

2025-04-17T07:31:00Z

It's painful. These intense stock market swings. And the outcome is nebulous. Word of the day.

I can tell you two important things. First, President Trump believes the economy will bounce back stronger after the tariff mania subsides. And second, the bellicose Chinese government wants the trade war to stop.

But we, the people, have little control over the turbulence, and that is causing collective anxiety. Congress and the courts cannot do anything either. The rearrangement of worldwide trade is in the President's hands. Only.

Tough to bet against America and Donald Trump. But caution is not a weakness at this point. The strategy is in play, the game afoot, as Sherlock Holmes would say.

Tough, waiting for the outcome. But there's no other choice. I'm rooting for the good guys: us. Hope you are, too.

Totalitarianism

2025-04-16T07:07:00Z

Colorado residents are in serious trouble, and it's their own fault. Totalitarianism is descending on the Rocky Mountain state because radical leftists are being elected to high positions. Soon, Colorado will mirror California.

When I lived there in the late 1970s, Colorado was essentially a traditional state that fostered individualism. Yes, radicals dominated Boulder and Aspen, but the culture was not affected by the extremists.

Now they rule.

The latest outrage is a series of proposed new laws that gut parental authority and spit in the face of religious freedom. The legislature in Denver wants all Coloradans to fund abortions as well as gender-changing surgery.

Even worse, a law would allow children to undergo sex-changing procedures without permission from their parents, the state again picking up the tab.

The federal Hyde Amendment forbids Washington from using tax dollars for abortions; however, Colorado seeks to override Hyde. That's illegal, of course, but the totalitarians are trying.

The gender-minor thing is simply unbelievable. The state will dictate a child's upbringing, not the parents.

Mao Zedong would love this.

The leftist governor, Jared Polis, hasn't yet signed the bill but likely will. Then the court challenges should begin.

But no matter what happens, this is an all-time Rocky Mountain low.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

American Consumers

2025-04-15T07:00:00Z

As I reported, my sock drawer is depleted so I went out to buy a few pair. But all Bloomingdale's had were Ralph Lauren hosiery made in China. These feet are made for walking, as Nancy Sinatra once sang. No sale at Bloomies.

American consumers should understand what they are buying and from whom. China is a threat to the world. It cheats in the global economy, routinely violates human rights, and is building a ferocious military. Why should we buy anything from them?

But most Americans don't even consider that. They want low-priced stuff, which China provides because the communist system does not reward its workers. You take what they give you. Or else you don't eat.

I won't buy a Mercedes vehicle either. That German company profited greatly from The Third Reich. And they were never held to account.

If American consumers would focus on the bigger picture, we might not even need tariffs. We can make or break any product in the world.

Just ask Bud Light.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Faith in America

2025-04-14T14:04:00Z

This week, there is a lot of keeping the faith going on. Holy Week, Passover, the U.S. economy, and leadership. So, where are you on the faith front?

Americans are not nearly as involved with religion as they were 50 years ago. The fastest-rising belief system among young adults is atheism, and weekly public worship has declined significantly.

We now live in a secular country where materialism dominates the culture. The pursuit of "where's mine" has replaced "out of many, one."

That means personal sacrifice and loyalty to God and country is evaporating. Very tough to reach greater good territory when it's every citizen for his or her self.

Yet, the traditional signposts remain even if spring break has replaced Easter vacation. Churches, Synagogues, and Mosques beckon, but their appeal in a secular society is diminished. Not to mention being away from cell phones for an hour.

Finally, faith in the country is also on the decline. As the media pumps out cynicism, many citizens simply disengage.

Something to ponder this spiritual week.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Turbulence

2025-04-11T15:03:00Z

Turbulence. Most human beings don't like it. But that's what we have in the USA right now.

Politico is reporting that President Trump is shaking up his economic team. Anonymous sources, as usual. But that sounds right. The tariff chaos has hurt the President.

Going forward, better trade deals are coming. I believe that. And the President should be magnanimous when they are completed. It is best if the world does not despise us. Yes, the foreign transactions have to be improved. They are not fair to us. But let's get some harmony after.

Putin and China are exceptions, of course. They are not looking for harmonious opportunities. They want dominance and are willing to kill to get it.

However, both China and Russia are vulnerable economically but the USA cannot impose order on them alone. We need allies. That should be the number one strategy after this hellish tariff thing dies down.

Life is hard, and then you die. The cliche is true with one caveat. Smart, disciplined leadership can lessen the hard part. Let's hope that happens.

Economic Warfare

2025-04-10T07:14:00Z

It is becoming clear that President Trump's primary objective in this tariff controversy is to isolate and weaken China. If you follow the economic chess game, you know Mr. Trump has paused onerous tariffs on all countries except China. In fact, he raised import duties on the communists to 125 percent.

This is definitely economic warfare.

China is absolutely a danger to the world. It is amassing a ferocious military using American money to fund it. Each year, the Communist government in Beijing receives $300 billion more in direct trade than the USA does, and China has to sell its stuff in America or its economy will drastically recede.

Therefore, President Trump wants a far better trade deal with the Chinese, but Bejing is resistant. So, the President will eventually make better trade deals with most other nations, hoping to isolate and weaken the Chinese.

That's the plan, anyway. However, danger is present.

The totalitarians in Bejing don't really care about their own people. In that, they emulate Putin. China and Russia can tolerate far more individual suffering than the USA and Europe. Big advantage.

Donald Trump is obviously throwing down here, using economics to weaken potential military enemies. All Americans should hope the strategy works.

But nothing is certain.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Downside of Capitalism

2025-04-09T07:35:00Z

Capitalism is hard. In our economic system, you have to compete for prosperity, and prove yourself in the marketplace, even if you have a marginal job. You move up based upon effective work and honest effort.

Also, capitalism gives individuals a chance to "invest" in order to grow assets. Buying a home, purchasing stocks and bonds, starting a business of your own. But there is no guarantee the investing process will be successful and unlike your work profile, you have little control over that.

Reverses in investment are on display right now due to the tariff controversy. Millions of Americans don't like the chaos at all. I am one of them.

But I knew the risks when I bought the shares. Capitalism can be very rough and unpredictable.

Socialism is easy. A big government dictates how the economy works, what you can and cannot have. Many rules and regulations. In return, you get some security. Education, health care, retirement, welfare if you're infirmed. But you must do what you are told to do in the marketplace and you cannot make it big.

For socialists, individual wealth is evil.

Many people prefer the easy way. Most of Europe, China, Russia, on and on. But Americans have rejected socialism although Bernie Sanders and his ilk have gained media acceptance. We, the people, are willing to take risks. President Trump is a major risk-taker. We elected him twice.

So here we are. The downside of capitalism has encroached as the stock market declines. Can you handle it?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump-Netanyahu Meeting

2025-04-08T07:30:00Z

He didn't look worried. The first thing I noticed when President Trump addressed the press with Israeli leader Bibi Netanyahu.

Mr. Trump will make trade deals, I can guarantee that because he has no choice. The world is nervous about Trump's confrontational personality and that insecurity works to his advantage.

However, Trump reports to the American people not protectionists in Berlin. And he does care what the folks think of him. So, let the negotiations begin.

Most television analysts have no clue what's actually happening here. Their most astute comment is: we'll see. Well, we've already seen. You people don't even care to know anything. It's choir practice every day; telling your audience what it wants to hear.

Here's what I know. Donald Trump is gambling that America's power will win the day and trade margins will dramatically improve for the USA. I looked for uncertainty in the Q&A with the press. I didn't see any. The man thinks he is going to win this.

If he does and prosperity rises for Americans, he'll continue his quest for Rushmore. But if chaos ensues the specter of Herbert Hoover will visit the White House.

And that's the absolute last thing Donald Trump wants.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Anti-Trump Protests

2025-04-07T07:08:00Z

Over the weekend thousands of protestors vented anti-Trump feelings coast-to-coast. These weren't "organic" demonstrations but organized displays. You can tell by the professionally printed signs and t-shirts which had to be in motion before the stock market pull back that began Wednesday.

There is nothing wrong with peaceful protest, of course, in fact it is a strength of robust free societies. But I'm not certain exactly what the angst is at this point in history.

Putting aside the hate Trump people and the hard-core socialists, what exactly is the disenchantment? Elon Musk has been vilified for uncovering wasteful spending and bloated government hiring. Why? The nation owes $36 trillion. We have to stop adding to the debt. If you don't understand that, the word "nitwit" applies to you.

Then we have Americans objecting to deportations. Apparently, they believe tens of millions of undocumented folks each should have their day in court. Absurd, impossible, anarchy driven. Let's be honest about that.

What else? Trying to get peace in Ukraine and Gaza? Attempting to stop fentanyl? What?

So, right now, I'm extremely dubious about the righteousness of the anti-Trump protests.

Feels wrong to me.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Tariff Analysis

2025-04-04T07:20:00Z

This sophomoric, partisan tariff analysis by the corporate media is both boring and annoying at the same time. No one knows how this will play out and, yes, there is economic turbulence ahead.

President Trump is a disruptive force in the world unlike President Biden who was meek and weak. Tariffs? Biden had no clue. Border? Trump solved the migrant intrusion in two months. Will he get good tariff deals? I have no blankin' idea.

Two things. By far the best, most honest analysis of the economic upheaval is Thursday's No Spin News. Want to understand what is actually happening, watch it. Then compare our presentation with the blather you see elsewhere. If you think I'm full of it, let me know. Bill@BillOReilly.com is at your service.

Usually, I suggest you have a nice weekend, but things are very intense right now. So, here's my advice: consider the big picture. Root for your country. Tough it out.

Rooting for Failure

2025-04-03T14:01:00Z

After Joe Biden was elected president in 2020, many of his detractors focused on allegations of voting fraud. You will remember it was mania. We watched the situation and reported it with precision not speculation.

Mr. Biden then assumed the office. I had little confidence in his ability and stated that. I was proved correct. Second worst president ever in my estimation.

But along the way, I was not rooting for Biden to fail. I wanted him to bring down prices, to get a ceasefire in Ukraine, to seal the southern border. My stance as an American was to root for the President to solve problems. Of course, Joe Biden let me down.

Today in the corrupt media, many want President Trump to fail at everything. Deporting migrant criminals, uncovering wasteful spending, getting Putin to stop killing people, angry partisans hammer Trump on every issue. They want things to get worse so he will suffer.

That is clearly an anti-American stance. No question. Those haters are rooting against their own country. And that is the truth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Putin's Military Draft

2025-04-02T07:00:00Z

The dictator Putin just drafted 150,000 more young men in Russia to prop up his battered army which continues to get pounded in Ukraine. It's an amazing situation. A small country desperately fighting for its sovereignty against a huge totalitarian state. Putin couldn't care less about how many human beings die but has to know that the Russian battlefield performance has been dismal. I mean when you have to use North Korea troops to prop up your army, that's not a good sign. What's next, Sri Lankan forces?

There is no question that old Vlad is one evil SOB and I will prove that in my upcoming book "Confronting Evil." But here's a fact about the war in Ukraine that no one has mentioned. Putin cannot conquer that country because of Joe Biden! That's right, the sleep-meister made it impossible for Putin to prevail.

Not by sending weapons. Not by any direct action. No, Biden has blocked Putin because of the embarrassment of Afghanistan.

There is no way President Trump will emulate Biden's incredible weakness. And the Europeans know that, especially Britain and France, which saw Biden's debacle up close.

Donald Trump well understands he has to stand up to bad Vlad or risk a Biden association.

History often works that way. Putin needs to read this column and wise up. You're not going to get Kiev, you tyrant. Make a deal.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Press vs. Trump

2025-04-01T07:00:00Z

The American media loves the "gotcha game" where a reporter embarrasses a public official with a line of questioning. That pursuit has been in play since CBS White House Correspondent Dan Rather tortured President Richard Nixon in the late 1960s.

Throughout my career, I have asked very tough questions to the powerful in both parties, but gotcha wasn't my goal. Simply put, I wanted to see how much the interview subject knew. How accurately they could articulate their position.

Today, much of the press is on a mission to expose President Trump and his administrators as incompetent and even dangerous to the public. In that pursuit, they are trying to weave a storyline that undocumented foreign nationals are being treated unfairly or even persecuted by the Trumpeters.

In order to sell that narrative, you have to cite examples of cruel behavior. But in any massive deportation, tough things will occur. However, the press is openly seeking negative stuff to blunt actions on foreign criminals. That is literally unbelievable. That's how much they hate Trump.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Three Americans

2025-03-31T14:01:00Z

Well, the Three Americans live show was a hit according to more than a thousand spectators. They saw something unique. Three professional TV people with totally different points of view discussing important national issues with wit and perspicacity (word of the day).

Stephen A. Smith, Chris Cuomo, and me, your humble correspondent, let it fly about Trump, the troubled Democratic Party, DEI, and the corrupt media. Opinions flew and were challenged. Stephen A. and I disagreed on "equity." But we did it in an entertaining way. I'll show you a clip tonight on the No Spin News.

No choir practice on the stage. And the mixed audience was respectful, perhaps mesmerized because this is so rare. Intense issues delivered with good humor and insight, not partisan blather designed to tell folks what they want to hear.

Don't know where the Three Americans concept will lead. I do know it's an important display. Honest, robust debate laced with panache is very much needed in America.

And the Three Americans delivered it.

See you tonight.

Bad Vlad

2025-03-28T14:01:00Z

Here's the straight story on Putin from a guy who researched him extensively. That would be me, and the work was done for my upcoming book "Confronting Evil." Bad Vlad shares the cover with Hitler, Mao, and Ayatollah Khomeini. There are plenty of other heinous villains inside.

You may remember that President Trump gave me a Super Bowl interview back in 2017. While discussing how the then-new president would handle the tyrant, I called Putin a "killer."

Mr. Trump opined the USA has its share of bad guys as well. True. But not in Vlad's league.

Right now, President Trump and his top negotiator, Steve Witcoff, are trying to get the dictator to stop killing people in Ukraine. Trump and Witcoff have gone out of their way to avoid insulting Vlad, who deserves to be vilified every hour of every day. But disparagement will not stop the madness in Ukraine. Will it?

So Trump is doing what he can. If Putin does not cease and desist, then severe banking sanctions should be directed against Moscow. No dollars or Euros going there.

In addition, ten thousand NATO troops should be sent to Poland.

Putin cares nothing about human life. He will only respond if he thinks he, himself, might be harmed.

The civilized world may have to eventually do that.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Assessing Marjorie Taylor Greene

2025-03-27T07:31:00Z

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia is doing a good thing by trying to stop taxpayer funds from going to PBS and NPR. Those organizations are committed to promoting a liberal point of view so why should non-liberals have to pay for that?

But Ms. Greene ruins her credibility by venting inappropriately at anyone who disagrees with her. Yesterday, she insulted a reporter from Britain's Sky News agency, telling her to go back to her country because no one cares what she thinks.

Not good. The reporter did not attack the Congresswoman, nor did she behave unprofessionally. The videotape proves it.

Full disclosure. My news operation has been treated disrespectfully by Ms. Greene, so she is not well thought of here. But we report on her fairly. Our assessment: The woman lacks discipline, and her zealotry is reflected poorly in her district. She's essentially Jasmine Crockett with blonde hair.

We apologize to the reporter from Sky News. Ms. Greene is the exception, not the norm.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Dems Opposing Trump

2025-03-26T07:50:00Z

Watching the Democratic senators rough up the Trump intel people reinforces the perils of our divided country. Yes, if the Biden administration had screwed up an important security meeting as the Trumpers did on March 15, GOP sharks absolutely would have done the same thing: pound home the embarrassment.

That's national politics, but I don't have to like it. Also, hearing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer try to save his own butt by saying he'll oppose everything the President does isn't some loyal opposition play. It's subversive.

Putting partisanship aside, you're a moron if you oppose eliminating wasteful spending, a ceasefire in Ukraine, and regaining control of the border. That's a destructive point of view, Chuck, especially when you cheered on Joe Biden's damaging policies.

I mean, you don't have to love Trump's style, but the man is trying to mitigate severe fiscal and security problems that Biden allowed. $36 trillion in debt, 12 million foreign nationals admitted, hundreds of thousands dead from Mexican narcotics.

Where were you on those things, Chuck?

Nowhere, man, to quote the Beatles.

Yes, the Trump team screwed up the Houthi terrorist meeting. I'm not happy about it. The Democrats are. They shouldn't be.

See you later for the No Spin News.

The Atlantic Magazine Leak

2025-03-25T07:35:00Z

The anti-Trump media is gloating over the Atlantic Magazine leak story. Apparently, members of the administration including Vice President Vance and Secretary of Defense Hegseth, allowed editor Jeffrey Goldberg access to a discussion about waxing terrorists in the Middle East.

This is a breach of security, to be sure, because Goldberg is a Trump hater and is now bragging about the incompetence of the administration. Piling on are other Trump vilifiers like former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.

When asked, the President did not seem aware of the situation, and I believe that is true. No one would purposely allow a guy like Jeffrey Goldberg access to anything.

The problem is inexperience, as I pointed out while analyzing presidential appointments earlier this year. Washington is no place for beginners. It is treacherous. Now, the Trump administration is embarrassed.

Not an enduring story but one that requires a "lessons learned" mentality. Understand that enemies of Donald Trump are lurking. Safeguards are vital. Know that before you speak.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump's DEI Bans

2025-03-24T14:41:00Z

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. On the run in America right now as President Trump is having none of it. If you do business with the federal government, you cannot promote DEI.

So what's the big whoop, as Mike Myers might ask? Diversity doesn't seem to be a negative. Different strokes often lead to creative breakthroughs. A variety of life experiences can lift enterprises if folks are willing to work together.

Inclusion is generally good unless Governor Andrew Cuomo is ordering COVID patients into nursing homes. Also, including a Black Mamba on your pet roster is ill-advised. Generally speaking, however, everyone should get a chance.

Therefore, the equity thing is the troublemaker. Favoring certain people and groups over others. This is destructive to those who benefit as well as to people who get screwed.

A few years ago, my son applied to Boston College, a Jesuit school. He really wanted to attend but I knew the place was not a meritocracy. It embraced skin color favoritism and woke. White kids had a tougher road. He was not accepted even though he was fully qualified.

That turned out to be a blessing, literally. He enrolled in Salve Regina University, which doesn't play destructive games. 3.8 grade point average, varsity lacrosse, a very successful semester at Oxford University. The lad overcame the BC equity play that punched him in the mouth.

The federal government is correct in banishing the equity inequity. You can't right historical wrongs by creating contemporary wrongs. That's the truth. All Americans should be judged by their achievements and character. Not by some fallacious philosophy that hurts far more people than it helps.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Ending the Week

2025-03-21T07:12:00Z

Nice down here in Florida, 80s, sunny. Helping Joe Namath with his charity benefit, and I'm happy to do it. As the USA descends into political tribalism, it's important to put things into perspective: good causes abound, and generosity defines all of us.

It's been a positive week for President Trump. He has Putin cornered in Ukraine because Zelensky is now cooperating fully. No guarantee of a ceasefire but there's a good chance.

The radical left has hurt itself again by attacking Elon Musk. This is a dangerous crew and most Americans understand that. The corrupt media is not attacking the radicals, and that's troubling. But as I have stated, it's pretty much over for them.

Lots of great analysis on the site, JFK assassination commentary on our YouTube channel, and come see me live on Long Island, March 30. Tickets a click away. Enjoy the weekend.

Executive Order Scenarios

2025-03-20T07:50:00Z

In just two months, President Trump has issued about 90 Executive Orders, causing much discussion and, in some cases, deep disenchantment. But the nation hasn't seen anything yet. Here are some EO's that may appear at any moment.

- A 50 percent tariff on Rosie O'Donnell should she try to return to the USA from Ireland.

- Hold detainers on anyone associated with The View for the purpose of transporting them to Guantanamo Bay.

- Boston's official name will be changed to Chowderheadville.

- Once Canada is admitted as the 51st state, its new motto will be "Watch out for that Moose, eh."

- Canada's new National Anthem will be YMCA.

- Joe Biden's White House portrait will be replaced by the Indian Chief from the Village People.

- In honor of Mexico's recently elected president, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Isley Brothers' song "Who's That Lady" will be played every time her name is mentioned in the White House.

- If Russia signs a ceasefire, the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team will move there.

- If Denmark doesn't sell Greenland to the USA, the morning "Danish" will be renamed the "Zelensky."

And finally a complicated presidential directive ordering former President Biden to write his name ten times on a blackboard to convince Americans he can actually do that without using an auto pen.

Mr. Biden will likely claim Executive Privilege, leading to a national controversy where a liberal Judge named Lenny out of Oregon will make the call.

Wait and see!

And we'll see you this evening for the No Spin News.

Midweek Madness

2025-03-19T07:54:00Z

It's only midweek and the news cycle continues to be a tsunami, where things are changing at light speed. Let's run it down.

Apparently, the ceasefire concept in Ukraine is moving forward. But expect delays and contradictions. Putin is in no rush and wants to strut. Trump will let him because, eventually, a deal is likely to get done.

The JFK files thing is up, down, back and forth. Somebody doesn't want the assassination overview out. It's not the President, I know that because I spoke with him myself. It has to be intel people.

Interesting intrigue here.

Forget the Epstein files. Too many names in those documents, allegations unproven all over the place. People who just knew the evil guy might be damaged. This one is a mess, and I don't think we'll see anything soon.

The stock market still correcting. Tariff chaos. The Trump administration needs a dose of calm here. Can't predict what will happen.

Finally, the swamp is fighting back through litigation. DOGE, the target. The President will win some, lose some. We are watching carefully.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Watching History

2025-03-18T07:36:00Z

Watching history unfold is the best part of my job. President Trump invited me to the White House on St. Patrick's Day, and there was much to discuss. First up, the JFK files, which will now be made public. The President knows I wrote "Killing Kennedy " and asked me my opinion. I suggested the files be released forthwith.

Second topic was Ukraine/Putin. Extremely difficult and important. I believe a ceasefire will get done.

Third topic, the resurrection of Kate's Law, where deported foreign criminals would face harsh mandatory prison terms if they come back to the USA. This is must-have legislation, and I'm confident the Trump administration will drive it. We were close back in 2015 when Kate Steinle was shot to death by a criminal migrant who defied five deportations. Senator McConnell killed the bill, to his shame.

I spent close to 90 minutes in the Oval Office on Monday. An amazing experience.

See you for the No Spin News Tuesday evening.

Presidential Perspective

2025-03-17T07:00:00Z

Happy St. Patrick's Day! It's the start of a new work week. That means a daily dose of controversy from the Trump White House. Can't wait for Thursday.

But let's examine our current situation a bit differently. Even though he's apparently been vaporized, Joe Biden was president for a full term, four years. During that time, he faced a myriad of vexing problems, as all chief executives do. Let's reminisce.

Around 14 million foreign nationals entered the USA, most illegally. Joe waived them through. President Trump stopped the madness in five weeks.

Ukraine raged on, blood in the streets. No leadership forthcoming from Joe Biden. Putin wouldn't even take his calls Now, ceasefire talks are close.

In Gaza, Hamas would not release the hostages no matter what President Biden said. Now, some are free.

Under Biden, federal spending ran wild. Deficits and the national debt reached dangerous levels. Today, drastic cuts are being made to bloated government and irresponsible giveaways.

As Joe Biden dithered, record amounts of narcotics poured into America leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths. Now, the drug cartels have been declared terrorist organizations.

There is much more but you get the picture. On his watch, President Biden made almost everything worse, and the corrupt media cheered him on - even lied about his cognitive decline.

So, when assessing President Trump, you might want to consider the perspective just offered. It's 100 percent accurate.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Far-Left ACLU

2025-03-14T07:00:00Z

The American Civil Liberties Union has morphed into a far-left subversive group that is actively undermining society. Nevertheless, Americans donate about $250 million a year to this outfit. I assume many givers simply don't understand the threat.

In addition to condemning the Child Internet Protection Act which would criminalize destructive social media aimed at children, the ACLU opposes laws restricting illegal immigration and border control. That endangers every American as foreign criminals and terrorists obviously can exploit an open border.

But it is in Indiana where the ACLU has reached critical mass.

Sitting in state prison, there is 42-year-old Jonathan Richardson, who strangled his 11-month-old daughter to death in 2001. Richardson admitted the infanticide showing no remorse. He was sentenced to 55 years in prison.

But he is not doing quiet time. He's changed his name to Autumn Cordellione and is demanding surgery to transition to a female. He wants taxpayers to pick up the $150,000 tab.

The ACLU is down with that, suing in federal court to get Indiana to pony up the money. Remember, private donations to the radical group are financing the litigation.

A liberal judge, Richard Young, has ruled in favor of the baby killer saying that denying him the surgery is against the Eighth Amendment, cruel and unusual punishment.

The ruling is an activist action not based on any rational interpretation of the law. And I believe it will be overturned on appeal.

However, you should know the true intentions of the ACLU and the judicial corruption that is battering the U.S. Justice System. It is simply horrifying.

As is the baby killer Jonathan Richardson.

What's Really Going On

2025-03-13T07:00:00Z

At the risk of supporting a political party, which I'm not in business to do, I simply cannot believe Democrats object to downsizing the federal government. With $36 trillion in debt, you would think every single American would support spending reform.

But no.

Elon Musk is now a progressive left whipping boy for exposing government waste. The USAID sent out hundreds of millions of dollars to insane foreign projects with absolutely no oversight on how the U.S. money was actually spent. That should be a scandal, yet the left deplores the expose.

In addition, the incredibly bloated Department of Education is being downsized, but that's not being applauded by many Democrats despite the fact that American students are underperforming.

The left seems to be saying, yes, let's have more of that!

So what's really going on here? Two things: first liberal Americans love big government except the Pentagon. Second, if Trump wants to do it, we oppose. It has to be bad because he's bad.

To me, that point of view is incredibly dumb. Opposition is fine if you have a better solution. Joe Biden was the elected solution for four years.

How did that work out?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Who is Mahmoud Khalil?

2025-03-12T07:00:00Z

This Mahmoud Khalil story is important. He's the former Columbia University graduate student arrested by ICE and facing deportation. President Trump said, "We gotta get him out of here."

If you believe the corrupt leftist media, Khalil is a legitimate pro-Palestinian protester, a man of conscience just speaking out against injustice. And he has that right. Khalil holds a green card and is in New York City legally. His wife is about to give birth.

But even a casual scanning of the man's public activities shows he is an agitator, a person comfortable with a bullhorn calling for "divestment" from Israel. That is legal speech in America. However, there's more to this story.

Receiving credentials to work or study in the USA is a privilege, not a right, and that privilege can be withdrawn if a foreign national indulges in questionable behavior as Mahmoud Khalil certainly did. He was smack in the middle of damaging protests at Columbia, trusty bullhorn in his hand.

Nevertheless, I believe Khalil should get due process, a fair hearing in front of an immigration judge. Cases like this one should be decided by evidence. That separates America from Hamas-controlled Gaza.

Doesn't it, Khalil?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

My Interview With Mike Pompeo

2025-03-11T07:00:00Z

One of the most astute foreign policy experts in the country is former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. On Monday, I talked with him about our very dangerous world and here are the highlights.

He believes there will be a ceasefire deal in Ukraine and concurs that President Trump can't insult Putin if that is to happen.

The Secretary sees Xi in China as more dangerous than Putin but does not foresee Beijing invading Taiwan.

Mr. Pompeo believes President Biden's weakness directly led to trouble all across the Globe, including Hamas' invasion of Israel. Biden's detachment from reality was well-known inside foreign intelligence agencies. Pompeo used to be the CIA chief.

Mike Pompeo is ready to return to the Trump administration. That part of the interview was interesting, but I'd like you to see it for yourself. No doubt, Pompeo is a patriot and skilled foreign policy analyst.

The entire interview is available on BillOReilly.com. See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Looking Ahead

2025-03-10T07:00:00Z

Important week ahead for President Trump. The stock market is wobbling, so some good news on the tariff front is imperative. Fair-minded Americans understand the trade deficit has to be revised because it's ridiculous in favor of foreign nations. However, Mr. Trump has to provide progress reports or risk further market declines, which will damage the U.S. economy.

As for the Ukraine problem, the President is taking massive heat, so here again, methodical updates are important. Both Putin and Zelensky must be held to account in order to get a ceasefire. Intense negotiations are underway, and there is some urgency here as Europe is frustrated with Trump.

That's not the most important aspect of the situation, but a united front against Putin is vital as China watches.

Back home, I do expect further crackdowns on sanctuary city officials as that is popular with the President's base. Donald Trump has already won his border strategy in almost record time.

Finally, where is Joe Biden? Anybody seen him?

And we'll see you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Art of the Deal

2025-03-07T08:00:00Z

Another day, another tariff. Or Tariff pause. Or new deal. Or something.

Even I can't keep up and I get paid to watch the powers that be. But unlike the vast majority of pundits, I know much of the stuff coming out of the Trump White House is political theatre - designed to bewitch, bother, and bewilder.

It's the art of the deal when the primary deal-maker doesn't really give a fig about public perception. President Trump understands that memories are short. It doesn't really matter how you get there as long as you arrive in style.

Trump will improve America's trade portfolio. He is likely to get mineral deals in Ukraine and Greenland. Panama already fired the Chinese companies working the canal and will drop shipping tolls on U.S. vessels. Hamas will release the hostages. Iran will publicly shut up.

Putin and China are tougher. Not sure how the President will handle those villains who are not outright intimidated by him. Big time chess game. No clear favorite.

So there you have it going into Daylight Savings Time, which Trump does not seem to like.

The sun should be very afraid.

New column coming Sunday.

Goodbye, Holly

2025-03-06T08:12:00Z

We lost a family member on Wednesday, a beautiful Corgi named Holly. Brain tumor, 9 1/2 years old. A good dog in every way.

As a puppy, I branded her "the terror dog" because she tried to eat the living room. Many of you know Holly because we appointed her the mascot of our enterprises.

We did everything we could to fight the malady, and Holly was loved every minute of every day. Someone asked me how I could anchor a news show knowing about her condition. I simply said: compartmentalize.

My son asked for a Corgi in 2015. It was an easy decision. Pets enhance lives, and children cherish them. When I brought her home, he cried with joy. Best moment.

There is a time for every season, the Bible verse goes. And, of course, it's true. Nothing can stop fate. What we can do is protect those we love and look out for them. That's often not easy, but good people know it's imperative.

Holly enriched my family and will never be forgotten. I am extremely fortunate to have had her company.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

President Trump's Speech

2025-03-05T15:26:00Z

President Trump's record-breaking speech had some history in it. Longest congressional address ever, taunting his opposition was unusual, and warning a foreign country, Panama, that he would seize some of its territory was unprecedented. At least Trump is giving Greenland a say in its destiny.

If Mr. Trump's promises turn out to be true, he will assemble quite the legacy.

But that's a huugggge if.

The most entertaining display on Tuesday evening was watching Democrats try to out-loathe each other regarding the President. I almost laughed out loud when Mr. Trump said Pocahontas wants the Ukraine war to go on for five more years. Cut to Senator Elizabeth Warren laughing and waving.

Bizarre? Very.

President Trump says his administration will bring peace and prosperity. That "woke" is finished. That common sense will rule.

As an American, I hope all of that comes true. But even if it does, I know one thing. Pocahontas won't like it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Left Castigating Trump

2025-03-04T08:00:00Z

History often follows a pattern of behavior, such as Republicans seeking smaller government while Democrats want a larger federal footprint in order to mitigate societal wrongs.

In modern times, the American left usually opposes war. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, just to cite a few examples.

But now it is the left that is castigating President Trump for pursuing a realistic ceasefire deal in Ukraine. It is obvious that Putin is not going to stop murdering people unless he gets a deal that makes him look good. So, Trump is patronizing bad Vlad, and many liberals are braying criticism because of it.

Remember, Ho Chi Minh was as evil as they come but Jane Fonda and her crew loved Uncle Ho. It was the USA that was the villain in Southeast Asia.

Putin is Minh's soulmate. But the left despises Vlad and, apparently, wants to continue a brutal, unwinnable conflict in Ukraine while it wanted out of Vietnam at any cost.

It's all about Trump, of course. Whatever he does is worse than anything anybody else does. If the President wants Zelensky to lighten up on Vlad in order to stop the bloodshed, the left will find a way to oppose that so it can criticize Trump.

That's the country in which we all live. Emotion and partisan politics rule. Putin loves this.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

If Joe Biden or Kamala Harris Were President

2025-03-03T08:00:00Z

What I can do is provide perspective. So, here's some of that. What if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris were president today? Here's a checklist.

-Do you think the Gaza hostages would have been released?

-How about appointing a special group to investigate wasteful government spending? Do you think JoKam would have done that?

-The Mexican president has sent 10,000 troops to protect the border with the USA. Would that have happened?

-Thousands of migrant criminals have been deported. JoKam down with that?

-Trump will most likely engineer a cease-fire in Ukraine, although it will be controversial. Would Jo/Kam have done any better? They had two years.

-The NCAA now says biological men cannot compete in sports with women. Not woke. Any comment JoKam?

Interesting series of questions, right? President Trump may not succeed in solving all vexing problems. But at least there's an effort.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The "New" Washington Post

2025-02-28T08:00:00Z

Jeff Bezos, very rich guy, is losing big money owning the Washington Post. In 2013, the Amazon titan bought the liberal newspaper for $250 million, and it has been all red ink since then. The paper may lose $100 million this year alone.

Also, the President of the United States doesn't like it.

So, Jeff is making changes. He told his top editorial guy, David Shipley, to stop the quasi-socialist point of view and adopt a free speech/robust capitalist marketplace posture.

Shipley promptly quit.

Former Post Editor Marty Barron, who turned the Boston Globe into a woke buffet, lambasted Bezos for, well, not being a far-left guy.

That was pretty strange since Bezos sails around in a yacht the size of Portugal.

The "new" Washington Post probably won't make any money either, but the times, they be a changing. Under President Biden, the committed left reached its high water mark. However, the Biden administration was such a disaster that those who backed it are now paying a major price.

It's kind of sad to see the legacy media disintegrating but that's what happens when ideology wipes out fair play. The trend now is "Go, Trump!"

And that wealthy rascal Jeff Bezos knows it.

Enjoy the weekend.

War on the Press

2025-02-27T08:04:00Z

Besides the Democratic Party, the biggest opposition President Trump has is the corporate media. It is well established that much of the American press has discarded most journalistic standards in order to damage Mr. Trump.

At the same time, that activism has harmed the American people who were told that Russia helped the Trump campaign in 2016, that Hunter Biden's damning laptop was "Russian disinformation," and that Joe Biden was a vigorous and insightful leader.

Those are three enormous lies embraced by the liberal media, which hides behind First Amendment protections.

Well, now, it's payback time as the most powerful man in the world, Trump, has declared war on the press which despises him. The President is using a variety of weapons, including lawsuits, loss of press access, and investigations into media corporations, in order to carry out his campaign.

Mr. Trump does have media allies in Fox News, Newsmax, and talk radio. But he is still heavily outnumbered on the press playing field, also in the entertainment industry, with the exception of country music.

And so the game is afoot, to quote Sherlock Holmes. And Donald Trump is in it to win it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Undergoing Change

2025-02-26T08:00:00Z

The nation cannot sustain a $37 trillion debt. Everyone knows that. Spending cuts have to be made, or the economy will collapse. Therefore, some programs and personnel will have to be diminished.

But almost every time there's a layoff or closed program, the wailing begins. It's not fair; people will starve, planes will crash.

The simple question is, okay, what would you do to get federal spending under control? Rarely an answer. Biden's solution was more taxes... fair share.

The truth is that far too much tax money is wasted by corrupt bureaucrats.

And that is anything but fair.

So, let's do something about it. Okay, people?

See you this evening for the No Spin News!

Appeasing Putin

2025-02-25T15:11:00Z

Big gamble on the part of Donald Trump regarding Ukraine. As we have been reporting, the President is not condemning Vladimir Putin because he wants a ceasefire, and Putin can make that happen.

So, instead of lambasting bad Vlad, Mr. Trump is courting him for what he believes is the "greater good."

It's risky. Clear-thinking people know the Russian leader is a killer. I will vividly document that in my upcoming book "Confronting Evil." In fact, the tyrant shares the cover with Mao, Hitler, and the Ayatollah Khomeini. Murderers row.

President Trump not only wants Putin to stop the killing in Ukraine, he is also trying to weaken the Russian-China-Iran alliance. Obviously, an important geopolitical strategy.

Don't know if appeasing Putin will work but opposing him will definitely not stop the madness anytime soon. There is danger in playing nice with this guy, but there's also a big potential reward.

And that's what President Trump is after.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Biden Administration's Failures

2025-02-24T08:00:00Z

Hope you read my latest column on BillOReilly.com about why President Trump is so frenetic. There's a strategy to this.

Not mentioned in the column is the incredible failure of the Biden administration which is now driving much of the Trump agenda.

Partial list.

- President Biden had no plan to stop the war in Ukraine or the Hamas hostage situation. No strategy whatsoever.

- Under Biden, air traffic control in the USA cratered. The feds need about 2,000 more controllers in the towers. Thank you, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, for doing nothing about this dangerous situation.

- Under Biden, an estimated ten million foreign nationals entered the USA without proper supervision. Thank you, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who championed the open border.

- On Joe's watch, food prices jumped 20 percent, and it is likely that they will not decline very much. Once a price point for necessities is established, it's almost impossible to rescind. Do you think Biden cares? Is there any evidence that he does?

- Almost every single trade deal under Biden favored the other countries involved.

- Biden ran up more than $7 trillion in debt over four years. No spending restraint at all.

- Joe allowed billions to go to Iran even as that dastardly country was sending murder money and arms to Hamas and Hezbollah.

I could go on, but it's too depressing. And 75 million Americans voted to continue all that under Kamala Harris.

Simply astounding.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Trump Effect

2025-02-21T08:00:00Z

As we close out President's Week, it is worth thinking about the effect Donald Trump has had on American leadership. Mr. Trump has opened the door for so-called "populist" candidates to rise to the top. That means that establishment politicians, people ingrained in a political party, can be beaten by a relatively inexperienced office seeker.

The contrast between Donald Trump and Joe Biden could not be wider. Mr. Biden spent his adult life playing party politics. The Democratic machine finally elevated him to the Oval Office.

There, Biden sledgehammered the country, creating a series of problems that will be around for a while. Most Americans will long remember the Biden debacle.

President Trump's first term is ill-defined because of Covid. The pandemic changed everything, and no politician could alter that. So, Americans decided to give Trump another shot because Kamala Harris inspired no confidence whatsoever. She ranks alongside Barry Goldwater and George McGovern as terrible presidential candidates.

If President Trump succeeds in his second term, American politics will be altered forever. His bold presence must drive achievement. Americans have to feel their lives are improving.

Obviously, that will not be easy. Biden left the USA battered, he performed worse than Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan eventually improved things, but he had eight years. Trump has 47 months.

No one knows what will happen. President Trump is frenetic. He wants to completely reshape the federal apparatus, but time is short, and he has fierce opposition.

Place your bets now.

A footnote this weekend. Please check out the brand new ”Three Americans Tour." Going to be excellent.

The Three Americans Tour

2025-02-20T08:00:00Z

As everyone knows, political hatred is growing in this country. Donald Trump is a magnet for it, Joe Biden no slouch either. Both these men are easy targets.

But this is NOT good for the country.

That's why Stephen A. Smith, Chris Cuomo, and me, your humble correspondent, are going on the road with The Three Americans Tour.

Never been done before. Three vastly different guys talking about life in the USA. That means three different audiences will be in attendance. That ensures the live presentation will be lively! And funny as well.

We will show that different points of view and experiences are worth considering. No choir practice here. Expect the unpredictable. 'A' games will be on display.

We hope you check us out. BillOReilly.com has all the information. March 30, Westbury, Long Island, is the first show. See you there.

Also, see you tonight for the No Spin News.

JD Vance's First Month

2025-02-19T08:00:00Z

Vice President Vance is off to a fast start. He's no-nonsense, and so far, his points are well-stated.

When President Trump pardoned all of the January 6 convicts, Vance was not completely on board with letting the violent guys off. He said that before the blanket pardons were announced. But a Vice President has to back the boss. Has to, or chaos descends. That's the most difficult part of the VP experience, as Mike Pence vividly found out.

Over in Europe last week, Vance was the voice of doom. He kept it simple and direct: NATO countries must pay more for their collective defense and stop freeloading off America.

You may remember President Obama said the same thing but never followed up. Trump will. Vance set the table and also scolded Europe for trying to crush dissent.

So, a good first month for J.D. looks like a strong asset for the President. But there are miles to go before he sleeps.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Manufactured Outrage

2025-02-18T08:00:00Z

So, let me ask you a personal question. Do you care that Elon Musk thinks the people who run "60 Minutes" should be in prison? Does his statement on X offend your sensibilities? Are you bothered and bewildered? Or what?

Maybe my outrage level is stunted. Perhaps I'm jaded and should be more protective of our Constitutional guarantees. But Mr. Musk's disenchantment with CBS News personnel is not even annoying to me.

It is expected. CBS News doesn't like him, Trump, MAGA, or anything else on the right. It is a left-wing organization trying to convince the country the Trump Administration is dastardly and Mr. Musk is a menace to society, freedom, bonhomie.

So what? Does anyone care anymore what "60 Minutes" says?

Prison for news purveyors is not an option, but a mention of it gets people's attention, and that's why Elon Musk put it out there. He wanted to vent, so that's what he did. As Tom Jones once sang: "It's not unusual".

The sad fact of life is that manufactured outrage is now a political and social tool. And because Donald Trump is president, the toolbox will constantly be open for the next four years on both sides.

See you tonight for The No Spin News.

Controversy Over Elon Musk

2025-02-17T08:00:00Z

This entire Elon Musk controversy is contrived, foolish, and peddled by activists ignorant of American history.

"The country's under assault," the poltroons wail, "the Constitution is being trashed!" All because President Trump appointed a billionaire to analyze wasteful federal spending.

So, here's the truth. What Mr. Trump has done is the same thing FDR and JFK did. No difference whatsoever. President Roosevelt brought in a fellow New Yorker named Harry Hopkins in 1933 to advise him on how to deal with the Great Depression. Hopkins had enormous power and even lived in the White House during World War II. Roosevelt also hired some of his Harvard pals to assist Hopkins. All were unelected and not confirmed by Congress.

President Kennedy followed FDR's playbook. He brought his Boston buddies to Washington. Dave Powers, Kenny O'Donnell, Theodore Sorensen.

Recently, there is compelling evidence that White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain actually ran the entire country under an often confused Joe Biden.

Do you think the anti-Musk/Trump cadre cares at all about that? They don't. Most have no interest in pursuing the truth. Way too hard.

I don't know Elon Musk. This Doge business might pay off, it might not.

But it deserves a chance.

Trump vs. CNN

2025-02-14T08:00:00Z

Once again, President Trump lambasted CNN after White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked him about whether Putin can be trusted.

Of course, the Russian dictator can't be trusted, but Mr. Trump isn't going to say that because he's trying to get a ceasefire in Ukraine. Ms. Collins knows that but was being provocative.

So, the President insulted CNN, which is now becoming a national pastime for Republicans.

A couple of things. I think Kaitlan Collins is a talented broadcaster - light years better than I was at her age. She's not an ideologue like some CNNers, but she understands the left-leaning culture in which she works and doesn't buck the system.

Therefore, Ms. Collins is in for a rough ride covering President Trump, who has zero respect for her operation. This is like Richard Nixon-Dan Rather, except Kaitlan is nicer than Rather.

CNN hurt itself dramatically by going hard left, no doubt. Audience ratings prove it. However, it might behoove Mr. Trump to use a little humor here. You beat them, Mr. President. And everyone knows it.

Major column about Pope Francis and the Founding Fathers coming Sunday.

DOGE Hearings

2025-02-13T08:00:00Z

Well, I tried. Really, I did. Sitting in my living room watching the House DOGE hearings, I wanted to be ANYWHERE else, but I hung tough for a while. Finally, I bailed.

Listening to simpletons is not my thing. I don't watch The View either.

House Democrats on the DOGE committee do not want spending oversight. They don't want foolish programs cut. The object to downsizing the incredibly bloated federal workforce.

Okay. Americans voted them out, facing an unprecedented $37 trillion national debt that had to be done.

But the lefties won't shut up. DOGE is unlawful, they say. Elon Musk is running the government, they wail. Our Constitution is being destroyed.

So much stupidity, so little time.

Democrat icon Franklin Roosevelt did the exact same thing Donald Trump is doing. He brought in a bunch of unelected guys to advise him about the Depression and World War II. Harry Hopkins and the crew had no direct power other than access to FDR. The left had no objection.

This entire DOGE thing could be very good for the American people. Or, it could go south. So let's give it a chance and blank the politics!

Reasonable?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Chuck Schumer on the Wrong Side

2025-02-12T08:00:00Z

The most powerful Democrat in the country is Senator Chuck Schumer of New York. At age 74, he's served in the Senate for 26 years and is the minority leader.

A few days ago, Schumer was caught on tape chanting, "We're gonna win" over and over. Perplexing. Democrats lost, Chuck, didn't anyone tell you?

The truth is that Mr. Schumer is foundering. He supported all of President Biden's disastrous policies. Open border, Chuck was on board. DEI, can't get enough. Massive spending, love it a lot. Surrender in Afghanistan, bring it on. Massive regulations on fuel, right on and far out.

So, Chuck Schumer has been on the wrong side of every issue, and we haven't even discussed his hometown, New York City, where thousands of violent miscreants are running wild because the progressive administration refuses to punish them.

Where's Chuck on that?

Nowhere, that's where. He's a charter member of the church mouse club - not to be confused with the Mouseketeers, although, come to think of it, Chuck might try on those ears.

Therefore, it is fascinating to hear the most powerful Democrat in the country yodel that "we're gonna win."

You're not Chuck. Thank God.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Eliminating Wasteful Spending

2025-02-11T08:00:00Z

Because I am a simple man, my questions are not complicated. Here's the latest one: why are so many Americans angry that President Trump and Elon Musk are crusading to eliminate wasteful federal spending? Don't we have a $37 trillion dollar debt? Shouldn't the government try to get that down?

There are two answers. First, millions of Americans oppose everything Donald Trump does, and now, by extension, the same applies to Mr. Musk. Nothing these men do will ever be considered worthy.

Second, most government spending goes to execute or promote liberal causes. Entitlements to the poor, global warming strategies, programs that promote abortion. Just a few examples.

But condoms for the Taliban? Yikes. Allegedly, the USAID sent millions to Afghanistan to help out with procreation or lack thereof. Does that make sense? Does Chuck Schumer support the program? What's next, disco lessons for ISIS?

So why the strum and drang about eliminating crazy spending? Has to be ideology, right?

Liberals are on the wrong side of this issue. Remember, Kamala gravely damaged her campaign by supporting tax dollars for sex change operations.

But come to think of it. There can't be sex change operations if people aren't born, right? Maybe that's the end game.

Probably not.

Super Bowl Thoughts

2025-02-10T15:11:00Z

Well it's Monday, the perfect time for a little Super Bowl Monday morning quarterbacking, right? But it's too easy, so I'll just say this about the interminable pre-game stuff: never have so many words been spoken with so little meaning.

That is unless you're impressed by the statement, "We'll see."

People actually get paid for saying that.

Fox Broadcasting wrapped itself in the flag with Brad Pitt saying some inspirational stuff. I kind of liked that. Don't know why. Later, Tom Cruise showed up, but his facework distracted me, so I didn't know what he was talking about. Got to give him credit for longevity, however.

The Fox network gave a pre-show interview with President Trump for about 7 minutes, during which he again said he wants Canada to be the 51st state. Of course, there's absolutely no way that will ever happen. We can't even get Puerto Rico to come aboard, and they don't even have electricity down there.

As for the game itself, well, let's just say it won't go into the time capsule.

Halftime show. No clue. Kendrick Lamar could have been speaking Lithuanian. Where were the Village People when we needed them?

Worst $8 million dollar commercial: the singer Seal dressed as a real seal sitting on an iceberg. Mountain Dew did it. Grudges should be held.

Best commercial - some older ladies singing "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf, a 1960s group. I don't know why that was taking place, but it was far out.

Hope you had a good time amidst all that.

As for next year, we'll see.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Super Bowl Halftime Shows

2025-02-07T08:00:00Z

Prince put on the best Super Bowl halftime show, in my opinion. And I don't even like his stuff that much. That was in 2007. Saw it live; the guy was dynamic.

The first well-publicized Super Bowl halftime thing was Anita Bryant in 1971. She performed backed by "Up With People." But not gay people. Anita was down on them, as you may remember.

Things really got rolling in 1993 when Michael Jackson and his white glove showed up. Perfect venue for him, but he stood motionless for a very long time before becoming bad or whatever he was.

In Houston, 2004, I was present when Justin Timberlake borrowed Janet Jackson's bodice or something. It was all so confusing. I was sitting in a box with some CBS executives. EMS was called.

Madonna took the stage in 2012, but I don't remember much about it. However, Lady Gaga was pretty good five years later, warbling she was "born this way."

What way? More confusion.

This year Kendrick Lamar is back because lots of younger people like him. Lost on me. I'm a Luther Vandross guy. That documentary on CNN about him was solid.

At this point, I believe the Super Bowl halftime show runs about two hours. Some players actually take naps.

I probably will as well.

Enjoy it. Only in America!

Liberal Arrogance

2025-02-06T08:00:00Z

An activist named Mike Freeman has leaped out in front of the "dumbest statement of the year" sweepstakes. Writing in the Trump-hating USA Today newspaper, Freeman opines that President Trump should not attend the big game on Sunday because he "stands for the opposite of everything we love about the Super Bowl."

Geez.

First of all, who are "we"? There will be more than 100 million people watching the game, and I believe that will be a pretty diverse crowd. What exactly is the blanket objection, Mike? Will the masses rise up at the Super Bowl in protest of the President? Doubt it.

In fact, he's more than likely to get heavy applause. It's Louisiana, Mike. Red state. Lots of conservative "we's."

But those folks don't really exist in the bubble world for which Freeman writes. No, despite Trump receiving almost 80 million votes in November, the supercilious left totally ignores the data. The lefties simply cannot fathom life outside the woke zone. To them, it's all an illusion because everyone they know despises Trump.

That's why USA Today will soon be out of business. Embracing liberal arrogance is not the pathway to economic success. For me, the anti-Trump brigades are absolutely real and entitled to wallow in political derangement. It's their birthright as Americans, and so is being moronic.

Mr. Freeman's Trump/Super Bowl analysis falls under that banner. And USA Today is deliriously happy to wave it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The NFL and DEI

2025-02-05T08:00:00Z

It is Super Bowl week, and that means... actually, I don't know what it means. Nevertheless, thousands are flocking to New Orleans to socialize and fight heartburn if they can't digest Cajun.

A very troubled city, NOLA is also unique and full of interesting history. But you have to watch yourself in the Quarter as it is a magnet for miscreants.

On the football front, both Philadelphia and Kansas City could win the game; they are evenly matched. More than 100 million viewers are expected to watch, even more than see me on YouTube.

In a press conference, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked if the league will pull back on DEI now that the Trump administration is after it. Goodell said no.

According to the team rosters, 53 percent of the players are black. But all of them are there on merit. Believe me, there is no racial aspect to professional football. You either perform well or see you later. It is a ruthless enterprise where competition is everything.

The NFL does have one DEI rule: each team must interview an African American for the head coaching job. Doesn't have to hire the person, just has to consider.

Roger Goodell did a good job knocking back the insidious kneeling during the National Anthem stuff that erupted a few years ago and hurt the league. The DEI trend doesn't really impact what happens on the field, and Goodell doesn't want to foster controversy, so it will remain.

Doesn't bother me. If you're good enough, you'll get a chance to play. No matter what color you are.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Truth Over Opinion

2025-02-04T08:00:00Z

Fifty-five years ago this week, a British philosopher named Bertrand Russell passed away in Wales. The guy had some interesting insights, one of which is paramount: "People's opinions are mainly designed to make them feel comfortable; truth, for most people, is a secondary consideration."

That bit of wisdom is rising in America, as stimulated by President Trump. His supporters tend to accept whatever he does, while his detractors refuse to acknowledge any worthiness on his part.

Presto, a divided country.

The loyal American owes it to the country to understand what is truly going on. If you think Trump is Hitler, you need a long rest in a remote place.

Likewise, if you believe the man is St. Peter. Rest. Reflection. Rehabilitation.

The President owns a vivid vision of success. But that is certainly not shared by everyone. And that's fine if a positive national result is the goal.

Trump's tariffs created a mini-hysteria. You should read my mail. But, the economic deals may bring in significant money to American industry and improve our security as well. That's what is likely to happen.

But if it doesn't, and inflation ignites again, there will be a new set of facts. And they will be important to accept.

Comfort shouldn't have anything to do with it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trade War

2025-02-03T15:12:00Z

So now we have a trade war with Mexico and Canada. Ordinarily, I would be able to analyze this situation backed up by data. But there are no facts here because nobody can say with certainty what will happen. It's all speculation, guesswork.

But here's what I know. Mexico is a corrupt country, top to bottom, and it has greatly damaged the USA by failing to confront mass migration and drug dealing. This has been going on for decades. The Narcos pretty much run the show down there. Shameful.

Mexico's economy, which doesn't provide prosperity to its citizens because of corruption, is totally dependent on America.

So why not use tariffs to wake Mexico City up? Either work with Washington to stop the madness or pay big. This seems logical to me.

Canada is different, not as extreme. It, too, is utterly dependent on the USA for economic prosperity. But the trade scenario is badly rigged in Ottawa's favor. Nepo-Guy Justin Trudeau is on the way out, and I expect a better arrangement will be negotiated.

Finally, President Trump doesn't really care what happens internally, north and south of the border. He just wants better deals.

He'll get them.

See you this evening for the No Spin News from Florida.

Public Opinion Favors Trump

2025-01-31T08:00:00Z

Two new polls from colleges, Emerson and Quinnipiac, say most Americans are happy with President Trump's messaging and unhappy with the Democratic Party.

This is a bit surprising because the corporate media still generally slants coverage negative whenever Trump is involved. And in the first ten days of his second term, Mr. Trump has dominated the news cycle.

Popular opinion has turned against illegal immigration, and this is helping the President. It's the old "enough's enough" cliche. Americans are not mean people with the obvious political and media exceptions. But chaos is not our national emblem.

Only far-left zealots are happy with the results of Biden's destructive open border policy, and that's because the progressives don't want white men in charge. It's a racial play.

Donald Trump seeks to destroy the woke, far-left strategy, and there's no question some folks are going to get hurt in the process. But the President will win this short term. The majority supports him.

No one can predict if that sentiment will last.

Have a nice weekend. New column Sunday.

Immigration Controversies Continue

2025-01-30T08:00:00Z

So, another day, another controversy. President Trump says he may order the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba to house 30,000 undocumented migrants.

As you may know, GITMO, as it is called, was used as a prison for jihadists after the 9/11 attack. The United States leased the base after the Spanish-American War in 1903, and we've controlled the area ever since.

In 2003, 680 accused terrorists were held there, a long way from the 30,000 number. Just 15 detainees remain.

Now, I've reported from GITMO twice, in 2002 and 2006, and it's no gulag. Isolated, yes. But it's clean, the prisoner food is good, very nice ocean views.

However, nobody is signing up to go there.

And that's the point. President Trump is scaring potential undocumented people. In just ten days, border intrusions are down more than 50 percent from the last weeks of Biden.

President Trump says he will only send criminals to the camp, not women or children. But, worldwide, the message is getting out: no more easy ride for the undocumented in America.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

New Immigration Policies

2025-01-29T08:00:00Z

Somewhat quietly, the Trump Administration has redefined the culpability of undocumented migrants. Now, ALL of them are being described as criminals.

That designation will drive the American left, including most media, absolutely nuts. President Trump will enjoy that, but there is a practical reason why this has happened.

With perhaps as many as 14 million folks without proper credentials to deal with, the President understands federal agencies cannot adjudicate every personal circumstance. For example, if a migrant felon is married to someone with a clean record, what happens to the spouse?

Under the new policy, they both will be deported.

Crossing into the USA illegally remains a civil offense, like a traffic beef. I expect Congress to change that as most other countries in the world apply criminal penalties to illegal entry. Try crossing into Mexico without proper documentation. Jail awaits and not a nice jail.

Donald Trump's view of illegal entry is harsh. But he is entirely upfront about it. And the majority of voters liked what they heard.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump's Deportation Orders

2025-01-28T15:09:00Z

Although the leftist media is trying to gin up outrage, it is clear that President Trump's deportation orders have popular support. It's not that the folks are personally against immigrants; they are not. We are basically a welcoming nation. Generous as well to people all over the world.

No, the reason that Mr. Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration is acceptable to the majority of Americans is a collective anger against President Biden's colossally irresponsible open border policy.

That chaotic situation will end up costing the nation trillions in the long run, as well as driving up violent crime. About ten percent of every mass group are miscreants, so the USA now has to deal with the destruction that crew wrecks.

And it was all so unnecessary. All Biden had to do was get behind a fair and disciplined immigration policy and shepherd it through Congress. But old Joe didn't even try, preferring to cloak anarchy with compassion.

That makes me and most other clear-thinking Americans extremely angry.

So now comes the tough correction. And innocent poor people will get hurt. And it's essentially Joe Biden's fault for being a weak, foolish leader.

For his part, Donald Trump is now carrying out a policy that got him elected. It's the will of the people. That's the historical truth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump's World

2025-01-27T08:00:00Z

Keeping up with President Trump the first week was quite the ride. Nonstop EO's, statements, firings, meetings.

No time for pickleball.

The Associated Press says it will not change the Gulf of Mexico's name in its reporting. No "Gulf of America" for the lefties that run that news agency. Nope. They are sticking with tradition.

Word is other names may soon be changed. Anonymous sources are saying that Canada may not be Canada much longer.

Instead, the country to the north will be called "Melania." As in: "Oh, Melania, our home and native land..."

There's nothing green about Greenland, so expect a change there, possibly to "Mar-a-Coldo."

California is not a presidential favorite, so might "Loon-a-fornia" be brewing? That could be too much, but, hey, stranger things have happened. Right, Kamala?

Finally, if the Taliban gets out of line, I expect "Ivankastan" will replace Afghanistan. Don't expect Ivanka Trump to ever set foot in the place, but the tourist swag will look a lot better.

Finally, and perhaps most dramatically, Disney is considering a song change.

"It's a Trump World After All" has a certain ring, does it not? The world may be small, but Trump is pretty much running it.

Or am I wrong?

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Trump Determined

2025-01-24T16:45:00Z

President Trump has more energy than me, your humble correspondent, and that's a high bar. Watching the guy is wearing me out.

As Dan Ackroyd said in Blues Brothers, "We're on a mission from God." Mr. Trump is driven to accomplish. Nothing will stop him from that mission.

But caution should accompany speed. Complex issues require "war gaming," that is, analyzing unintended consequences.

Mr. Trump is likely to succeed if he avoids unnecessary distractions. All battles are not worth fighting. And for every victory, you get stronger in the eyes of opponents. I hope we soon see a few cartel leaders go down. I am also rooting for some Homeland Security/migrant defiers to face federal charges.

Once things like that begin to happen, problems get easier to solve. Ask Teddy Roosevelt about the big stick. Already, the world understands the weakness President Biden fostered is now history.

As for Mr. Biden, his future is in the hands of Mr. Trump. It looks like the then Vice President took money from his son and brother and hid it from the tax man. A felony.

Will President Trump order the FBI to pursue it? Unclear at this point.

Enjoy the weekend.

Leftist Bishop

2025-01-23T08:00:00Z

Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde is now a bright star in the leftist movement. On Tuesday, she gently scolded President Trump at The National Cathedral for lacking "mercy" when it comes to gender and migration.

Now, this kind of virtue signaling is easy but kind of insulting if you look critically at it. I have no doubt that Bishop Budde firmly believes she is on the right side of God, but she's a shallow thinker, and the Holy Spirit might have some problems with that.

Sorry for the theological references. Hope the pagan movement isn't offended.

Anyway, a quick examination of the Bishop's past reveals her sympathy for the George Floyd looters and her justification of law-breaking in the open border controversy.

Apparently, Bishop Budde does not see property protection and immigration standards as merciful. She openly espouses no consequences for law-breaking in the name of a merciful God.

Lost in the Bishop's self-righteous haze are the victims of anarchy. Thousands of innocent Americans were hurt in the George Floyd riots, millions have been or will be killed by the insane border display as tons of narcotics accompany the migrants into this country.

So where is Bishop Budde on that?

Nowhere. Because the consequences of anarchy don't fit onto the virtue-signal resume.

Do they, Bishop?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

January 6 Pardons

2025-01-22T08:00:00Z

We have been investigating the mass pardon of those who broke the law by invading the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021, and what I am seeing is important.

First off, I would not have pardoned any person who attacked a police officer. 172 people pleaded guilty to doing that. But other offenses are worth analyzing.

The Biden Justice Department, including many federal judges, absolutely went after the rioters with a vengeance. The primary threat was overcharging. Federal prosecutors often told defendants that unless they pleaded guilty to a specific charge, they would have more crimes added. Many protesters caved, facing decades in prison and enormous ongoing legal expenses.

It literally costs millions of dollars to fight federal prosecutors because the cases can drag on for years. If one enters a guilty plea, the financial ordeal ends.

So, the Biden administration literally terrorized some rioters into admitting guilt. Is that justice? President Trump doesn't believe it is; therefore, he issued the pardons.

I would like to see the President say what I just told you because it is true and provides a context the corrupt media will never explain.

Equal justice for all does not include threats from federal prosecutors. It means gathering evidence and presenting it in a fair manner so just punishment or acquittal can take place.

In many cases, that was not done in the wake of January 6.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump's Inaugural Address

2025-01-21T08:00:00Z

Here's a dilemma that clear-thinking Americans should think about: was President Trump's demolition of President Biden during the Inaugural address historically appropriate?

It was brutal, Mr. Trump saying the Biden administration destroyed the country with Old Joe sitting six feet away. I can't find any other inaugural speech close to that kind of confrontation.

And it wasn't kind.

But it was true. President Biden was a disaster on many levels, and the problems he caused will haunt America for years to come, no matter what Trump does.

But there is the "office" of the presidency to consider. I have labeled Joe Biden the second worst chief executive in history, and the case is strong. But would I say that to Biden's face? No.

I'm not a phony, but there's a standard of behavior when any president is present, as Biden was with Trump.

We live in a polarizing age, and Donald Trump's address solidified that. The exposition on Monday may have been necessary to awaken Americans to the severity of our problems. Or might it have been done another way?

A very tough call.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Democrats in Disarray

2025-01-20T14:59:00Z

With President Trump back in power, there is absolute disarray in the Democratic Party. A series of articles, all using anonymous sources, say Kamala is mad at Joe, who's mad at Nancy Pelosi, who, in turn, blames Joe for screwing everything up.

According to the anonymous people, everyone's mad at Jill who doesn't care because she's furious as well.

This state of affairs is similar to January 2021 when Donald Trump was angry and a Democrat Congress impeached him even though he was almost out the door.

In America, losing is the biggest sin.

Kamala Harris is interesting. She had one and a half billion dollars in campaign cash, but money can't buy you smarts, and she clearly didn't know what she was talking about while campaigning. Not since Republican Senator Barry Goldwater cozied up to nuclear weapons in 1964 has there been a presidential candidate as dense as Kamala.

But she'll be back, possibly running for Governor of California on the Smokey the Bear ticket.

That reminds me. Everybody's mad at Gavin Newsom for incredible incompetence. Kamala doesn't have a tough road to follow, that's for sure.

If President Trump doesn't succeed, the Democrats will be back, of course. But with a whole different set of characters. But for now, it's very, very dark in the liberal precincts.

As the Elvis announcer might say: the left has left the building.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

What is an Oligarchy?

2025-01-17T14:57:00Z

That nitwit Bernie Sanders is pounding the "oligarchy" business again. As did the delirious Joe Biden in his goodbye address on Wednesday. So what exactly is this?

An oligarchy is a country run by a few mean rich people who exploit everyone else in pursuit of wealth and power. Haiti used to be an oligarchy run by the brutal Duvalier family. Russia is close to one because Putin and his corrupt cronies are amassing fortunes while protected by a police state. Bad Vlad loves and cherishes his oligarchy.

But the United States is not run by billionaires, although Nancy Pelosi and her stock-dealing husband are trying. No, America is still a place where hard-working regular folks retain power.

According to Wikipedia, there are 756 billionaires in the USA. Many live lavishly, spending an enormous amount of money on themselves, which, in a capitalist country, you have a right to do. It's none of Biden's business, or Bernie's for that matter, unless these wealthy greed heads take over New Mexico or something.

So tell me, Bernie and Joe, which American "oligarch" is threatening citizens, and how are they doing it? You can't because your hyperbole is just a cheap gambit to get more tax money.

On Biden's watch, the richest people in the country increased their wealth by $1.5 trillion. So why didn't you do anything about that, Joe? The answer is - because you couldn't.

I believe enormous wealth is often corrosive. The camel passing through the eye of a needle parable.

But I also admire a system where a person can prosper financially. Certainly, Hunter Biden amassed some cash, right Joe?

Honest wealth is allowed. Bernie Sanders is a communist. That's all you need to know.

Hope you watch the Trump special on NewsNation this evening at 9 Eastern.

California's Failed Leadership

2025-01-16T08:00:00Z

Let's delve into a simple man's analysis of the shocking fires in Southern California. In 2018, then-President Trump scotched the fire-plagued state, saying it was a "mess" and the leadership in Sacramento was ignoring giant fire warning signs.

So, how did Governor Newsom and the legislature react? They ignored Trump.

Did the Golden State build water storage plants? No.

Did the Governor lead an effort to clean up forest brush? Nope.

How about expanding firefighting capabilities, especially in Southern California? Did that happen? No, it did not. In fact, Los Angeles cut its fire budget but expanded payments to the homeless with no drug testing or any oversight whatsoever.

The harsh truth is that California authorities failed to protect residents from an obvious fire danger. Instead, the state spent billions on wasteful green programs that were largely theoretical.

Yet, if Gavin Newsom were able to run again, which he cannot, there's a good chance leftwing California voters would return him to office.

The question then becomes kind of difficult. Should American taxpayers rebuild California via federal relief funds? The voters obviously elected incompetent people and, it is likely, will continue to do so because millions are blinded by ideological nonsense. Should the rest of us pay for that?

The logical answer is no. The humanitarian answer is yes. Without federal help, thousands of Californians will never recover.

So, the money will pour in. But don't expect lessons to be learned.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Pete Hegseth's Confirmation Hearing

2025-01-15T15:01:00Z

Former Fox News personality Pete Hegseth was brutalized by some Democratic Senators this week. President Trump has nominated Mr. Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, so the Senate must confirm him.

The vote will be close.

In the interest of fairness, let's lay out some facts. The former army major fought in Iraq and Afghanistan winning the Bronze Star, so he's a brave guy.

Politically, Mr. Hegseth is conservative and has publicly opposed women in combat. That makes him a marked man among progressives.

Pete Hegseth has no criminal record, but apparently, Senator Mazie Hirono believes he's committed some kind of crime beyond personal indiscretions. The veteran settled a case, as millions of other Americans have, for personal reasons. There is no crime in protecting yourself and family by using the legal system.

Someone tell Mazie.

But that wouldn't do any good because the Democratic Senator from Hawaii doesn't care. Her job, which she relishes, is trying to destroy people with whom she disagrees.

The crux of the Hegseth matter is whether he has the skill set to run the largest corporation in the world. That would be the Pentagon. There is scant evidence that he's qualified to do that.

However, President Trump wants to give him a chance. And therein lies the key issue: should Hegseth get one?

All the democrats will vote against the man. If they defected their careers would be over. If just three Republicans vote no, Pete Hegseth goes down.

As Jamie Foxx might say: place those bets now.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Problems to Address

Now that the lunatic asylum of California liberal politics has been exposed by the wildfire disaster, honest Americans face some introspection. It is clear that the United States has descended into ideological tribalism, and that is hurting all of us.

For example, the primary reason the African continent has never prospered in general is the overwhelming presence of ancient hatred. Tribes failing to put aside differences for the greater good of a strong, fair country.

And it's not just in Africa. I was struck by Congresswoman Maxine Waters' statement that the real problem facing natural disasters in Los Angeles is that wealthy Americans don't pay their "fair share" in taxes, a stunning opinion that reflects a completely incomprehensible mindset. For the Democratic Congresswoman, efficiency, and problem-solving simply do not exist. Her far-left political tribe wants to punish the affluent far more than providing realistic protections for all.

On the right, exclusionary policies also exist. At this point in our history, powerful food and drug companies are badly hurting Americans by peddling massive amounts of sugar and charging big money for medicine. There is little conservative outcry.

Simple truth: problems need to be addressed. But tribes seek power, not solutions.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden's Last Week

2025-01-13T08:00:00Z

Last week of the Joe Biden presidency, and then the 82-year-old goes quietly into the night. I don't expect to hear much from the Bidens after the January 20 Inauguration of Donald Trump, which Mr. Biden is attending.

Good for him.

The question now becomes what will the Trump administration do about allegations that Biden took questionable money from his son and brother and did not declare it on his income tax? That's a felony. The President continues to deny any wrongdoing.

But Congressman James Comer has a new book out accusing Biden of taking money. Will the Justice Department investigate?

Very loaded situation for any incoming president much less Donald Trump. I have no idea how he will handle this. If the new Attorney General Pam Bondi goes after old Joe, obviously, all hell will break loose. It would be a tremendous distraction for an administration that has a tremendous amount to do.

In the end, the American people have a right to know if a sitting Vice President or President took tainted money. That should be paramount in a difficult situation like this.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

The Need for Strong Leadership

2025-01-10T08:00:00Z

Fair-minded Americans should be happy to hear the positive things said about Jimmy Carter by President Trump. It was certainly a good look from a man who well understands the mistakes President Carter made.

The Georgian deserved his memorial tribute and, I believe, was a sincere person who wanted peace and prosperity. I also think Mr. Trump and perhaps other presidents learned from Carter's mistakes.

The best illustration of that is the seizure of 53 Americans on November 4, 1979, by the fanatical Iranian dictator Ayatollah Khomeini. His thugs stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in violation of international law. The Ayatollah then demanded 8 billion dollars for their release.

President Carter wouldn't pay but did nothing to punish this blatant act of war. The Americans were held for 444 days, only released upon the Inauguration of Ronald Reagan.

Carter should have blockaded Iran's ports on the Persian Gulf. Nothing in, nothing out. If Iran attacked U.S. warships, a devastating bombing campaign would have been set in motion.

Had that happened, it is doubtful Iran would have been able to sponsor terrorism for decades.

But President Carter was not strong enough. And his inaction ruined his presidency. History records this. Donald Trump knows this.

It's a dangerous world. Strong leadership is needed. That is a lesson Jimmy Carter taught us.

Enjoy the weekend.

Honoring Jimmy Carter

2025-01-09T08:00:00Z

It is good for the world to see our politicians honor the life of Jimmy Carter.

The perception of America in some quarters is that it is a spiteful country full of partisan rancor. It's true the media pushes that image, but for the regular folks, it's character and performance that should matter most when bestowing power. Not ideology.

President Carter tried hard to be an effective leader but simply lacked the experience to run the most powerful country on earth. He was an honest man who strongly believed in Judeo-Christian tradition. But that's not enough. A president must be a tough problem solver in the dangerous world in which we all live.

I dealt with Mr. Carter in helping severely wounded veterans. He wasn't a fan of mine, and that strained our interactions. But in the end, he did the right thing, and with all five presidents supporting the high-tech track wheelchair program, we raised more than $30 million. Every vet who needed the machine received one.

As the nation pays its respect to the man from Plains, it is constructive to understand our patriotic duty; you may not like a specific president, but you should always respect the office of the presidency because it is the most important part of our republic. All human beings are flawed, but sincere effort counts.

Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter.

Trump Eyes Greenland

2025-01-08T08:00:00Z

It's safe to say Greenland hasn't received this much attention since Erik the Red spotted it and said: "hey, what's that"?

But now the modern-day Marauder, Donald Trump, has his eye on the tundra because lying below the permafrost is lots of oil and natural gas. In addition, other valuable minerals may be present, presenting a financial windfall to those who can harvest it.

Greenland is not a country. It's a territory administered by the Kingdom of Denmark since 1721. If it were a country, it would be the fifth largest on the planet. But only 56,000 folks live there because there's nothing to do but make fun of polar bears.

Denmark is run by King Frederik X, a descendant of Gorm the Old (not making this up) who presided in the tenth century. Fred looks like a man who could be reasoned with so I believe President Trump can make a deal here. The Danes get a big piece of the energy harvest by giving the USA a 99-year lease to do the heavy lifting.

Of course to protect the investment, the American military would need to build a couple of bases.

That would torque Putin off, but blank him if he can't take a geological joke. Outflanking the Russians is a huge plus for America.

So that's what the Greenland thing is all about. Copenhagen should definitely make the deal. Old Gorm would.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

50th Anniversary

2025-01-07T08:00:00Z

This month marks 50 years of me, your humble correspondent, getting paid to practice journalism. Now, many things are in play. First, I'm an old guy. Second, I've seen a lot and literally have met thousands of people, including nine presidents. Nine. For a Levittown, Long Island kid, this is beyond the pale - whatever the "pale" is.

It was January 1975 when I rolled into Scranton, Pennsylvania, to work at WNEP-TV as a reporter. Fresh off obtaining a Master's Degree in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University, I was ready to rock the media world. But reality soon bit me in the behind.

Not only was I unpolished on air, but my wages were so low that paying rent was a problem if I wanted to eat. So, I asked the station manager for guidance.

He told me I could make another $25 a week if I wrote the script for "Uncle Ted's Ghoul School," a Saturday night monster mash show that featured horror classics like "Wasp Woman."

I produced the show, and the rest is history, as they say. Uncle Ted was frequently inebriated, but it didn't matter. My one-liners about Dracula's Daughter catapulted me to fame and fortune. Humble beginnings? You betcha, as Sarah Palin might say.

So here we are. Five decades of bloviating and causing trouble. And now, with a new Trump administration, there are still miles to go before I sleep.

At least, I hope so.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Medal of Freedom

2025-01-06T14:58:00Z

It is simply outrageous and insulting that President Biden has awarded George Soros the nation's highest civilian honor. The Medal of Freedom is supposed to go to Americans who have benefited their country. The far-left Soros has devoted his life to tearing down traditional America. He is a dynamiter, a man whose money has eroded public safety at a level never before seen.

Joe Biden is so mentally compromised at this point - he probably can't even remember who he honored. But I'm cutting him no slack. He is by far the most radical left-leader this country has ever had. It is shameful how much damage Biden has caused. He makes Jimmy Carter look like George Washington.

And just to put a cap on this, Biden also awarded Hillary Clinton the Medal. And I have no problem with that. Like her or not, she served her country. A democrat president is going to reward other democrats. Republicans do the same thing. Mrs. Clinton isn't my cup, but I don't begrudge her the honor.

Not Soros, however. He's a danger to the USA. As is President Biden.

See you this evening for the first No Spin News of 2025.

Happy New Year!

2025-01-01T08:00:00Z

The new year 2025 will unfold in ways no one can predict. The USA is in for big changes, and much of the rest of the world is chaotic and dangerous. This is not a time to be immersed with gadgets.

If you follow the No Spin News, you know that I am pretty good at predicting political outcomes. Only missed one in 2024, the precise time President Biden bailed out. I called his demise months in advance but was a week or so off on the actual announcement because Jill Biden stepped in. She lost her venal quest but threw off the timeline.

This year, I expect President Trump to fulfill many of his campaign vows, and that will lead to a stronger economy and a more stable environment. But overseas is a tough situation. Putin, Xi, and the Mullahs are evil people who do not care about human rights. It will take courage and skill to deal with their destructive agendas.

American voters made the right decision rejecting Kamala Harris and the progressive movement. Far-left governance in California, New York, Chicago, and other places is horrifying. These progressive loons are flat-out dangerous. Just the Biden/Harris open border alone is a vivid catastrophe that will haunt this country for years.

As for you who are reading this message right now - be cautious this year. It will take time to define the new Trump administration and how it will affect your life. Invest cautiously, spend moderately, be alert in public. The Biden term caused a tremendous amount of social damage. Protect yourself and your family foremost.

My hope is that traditional beliefs and self-reliance will make a big comeback in 2025. But I can't predict it. We are now a nation dependent on technology and diverted by foolish pursuits. Fewer Americans are really paying attention to what is necessary in order to prosper.

But we the people did pay attention to the big one, the presidential election. We literally saved ourselves. Now, we have a shot at building a strong, just country.

Stay with us. We will track your well-being every day. We begin Monday for the first No Spin News of 2025. Wishing you an excellent New Year.

L.A. Story

2024-12-31T08:00:00Z

In Los Angeles, I took a power walk around the Westwood neighborhood adjacent to UCLA. Not too long ago, this was a very nice place to be. No longer.

Many shops are closed, windows smashed. Drug addicts loiter all over the place. The local CVS has nearly all products locked in cabinets. Employees told me they are under orders to allow shoplifting without comment. If they try to interfere, they will be fired.

There is no police presence, none. Criminals roam freely. It's a scenario straight out of the John Carpenter movie "Escape from LA." Santa Monica, nearby, is a similar situation.

California voters are responsible. Inexplicably, they support cowardice and insane woke policies. The state is paying a heavy price. UCLA is a shadow of what it once was.

Incredibly, the social devastation will not be confronted anytime soon as there is zero media and popular pressure to do so. Kamala Harris has a good chance to be California's next Governor. As the cliche goes, Good luck with that.

The weather is great here, and the state is beautiful from top to bottom. But far-left governance has absolutely ruined Westwood and many other once-idyllic Californian places.

Ancient Rome wasn't built in a day, nor did it fall in a day. But the city did collapse. As has Los Angeles and its soul mate to the north, San Francisco. All Americans should digest the travesty.

The No Spin News will return Monday, January 6. Happy New Year.

The Passing of President Jimmy Carter

2024-12-29T08:00:00Z

It's a rainy night in Georgia as President Jimmy Carter passed at age 100. He stayed loyal to his state to the very end, something a bit unusual as most former presidents migrate to expensive places - the exact opposite of Plains, Carter's hometown.

If you read "Confronting the Presidents," you will see that Mr. Carter was an unsuccessful Commander-in-Chief. His lack of national experience after being Governor of Georgia overwhelmed him.

Not a venal person, Carter did much charitable work and remained a liberal thinker until the end. He should be respected even though his presidency did not help most Americans.

President Carter tried his best, was an honest man of the people. That will be his legacy.

Enjoying the Holidays

2024-12-26T10:56:00Z

Watch Bill's latest appearance on Newsmax, where he talked about leaving politics out of the holidays.

Merry Christmas!

2024-12-25T08:00:00Z

More than two thousand years ago, a poor stone-cutter set off to preach a radical new theology, one that demanded human beings love other people as much as they love themselves.

No hatred, no division, no miscommunication. We are compelled by Jesus of Nazareth to do everything we can, short of personal destruction, to peacefully assist others - especially those in need.

That philosophy is what Christmas celebrates.

Christmas 2024

2024-12-24T20:55:00Z

Once again, the world celebrates the birth of the most famous person who has ever lived. We chronicled the historical life and death of the Nazarene, Jesus, in the book "Killing Jesus"—the most amazing story.

Secularism has taken over many minds, but for those who will still consider important things like justice and destiny, the birth of Jesus is the starting point.

What captures my attention is not the indoctrination of my Catholic upbringing and schooling, but the brilliance of the theology. Although deeply flawed and sometimes evil men have tried to damage the Nazarene's message, it still dominates more than two thousand years after he walked the dusty trails of Palestine.

Putting others before yourself and respecting the life you have been granted is the essence of Christianity. And no human can accomplish that without petitioning divine guidance.

So, as Christmas 2024 unfolds, I fully realize that most people believe what they want to believe, and it is far easier to live a selfish life than to sacrifice for others.

But tonight, in the darkness, you might consider why we continue to celebrate the birth of a poor child in an obscure part of the world. There has to be a reason for the season.

Have a Happy Christmas.

The Villain

2024-12-20T08:54:00Z

Most of us who pay attention to our country knew what the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday; President Biden was having mental clarity problems from the very beginning of his term.

I will go into this in detail with Sunday's column, but the headline is clear: Jill Biden is a villain. More than anyone, she saw her husband's condition but did nothing. Her thirst for power is so great she refused to tell the truth, putting the entire country in jeopardy.

Thus, Jill Biden will go down in history as one of the most destructive First Ladies ever.

Think about it. Mrs. Biden saw the deteriorating situation with her husband every single day but lied about it to the very end. You can't justify that. It's horrendous.

I didn't want to write this message, especially a few days before Christmas. But the truth has to be said, and few will do it. Joe Biden will go down in history as the second-worst president in history. And Jill will be right there with him.

Trump and Europe

2024-12-19T08:00:00Z

So, your humble correspondent was petitioned by the French magazine L'Express to talk American politics, and here's what I told the reporter.

President Trump wants Europe to prosper because that helps the USA, but he's not going to pay for the continent's collective defense because that drains American funds.

That Europeans don't generally understand Mr. Trump. He's a provocateur, yes, but also a savvy deal-maker. I believe he'll get a ceasefire in Ukraine fairly quickly. Gaza is more difficult.

Europeans are also way too dependent on state-run media like the BBC and don't pick up the rhythms of American politics. They don't understand what a disaster President Biden has been for working Americans whose take-home pay is being drained by high taxes and foolish policies. In Europe, most folks are dependent on government. Not here. Most of us earn our way and want the bureaucracy out of the way - a big reason Trump won.

This weekend we'll post the entire translated interview on BillOReilly.com

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump's Highest Point

2024-12-18T08:00:00Z

Donald Trump could be at the highest point in his life just seven months after the lowest point. As Frank Sinatra once sang: "That's life, and I can't deny it."

The Trump haters thought they had him beaten. The ridiculous show trials in New York City, the totally unnecessary FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, the nonstop hate he endured from the liberal press.

But the Don fought hard and prevailed, not only routing Kamala Harris but also badly damaging the Democratic Party and much of the corrupt media.

It's an amazing turnabout orchestrated by a single individual, Trump, who now officially owns the cliche: when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

But the story is not over yet. The President-elect must succeed in solving very difficult problems. He has to show strength and determination to improve this country's circumstances.

But after all the man has been through, he has a unique vantage point on the strength and determination thing. Now, he must turn his victories into legacies.

I think he will do it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Joe Biden and Iran

2024-12-17T08:00:00Z

In a largely unreported story, the Biden administration unfroze another $10 billion dollars so the Mullahs in Iran could have a nice Christmas. Of course, the fundamental Islamists don't believe in Christmas, and if you do, you're an infidel.

That makes around $100 billion that Joe Biden has allowed to flow into Tehran. That money was frozen in banks around the world after Iran refused to stop exporting terrorism. They still lead the league in that death sport, but Joe doesn't seem to mind very much. What's next, pardoning the terror killers?

Sorry, I mentioned it.

The Biden administration says all that cash will be used for "humanitarian" concerns. Sure. Don't know about you, but when I hear the word Iran, I immediately think of a benevolent government aiding those in need, and the country's nuke program is simply to provide clean energy. Right, Joe?

Joe? Helloooo.

Like the open border, there is no rational reason to help the crazed Mullahs amass billions. It will become blood money.

Somebody gently awaken President Biden and tell him.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

O'Reilly's Wish List

2024-12-16T08:00:00Z

Today's message has nothing to do with politics, and I thank God for that. It has to do with what Americans might consider over the next few days.

Christmas is hurtling toward us and I have two things on my wish list: peace on earth and... Don't be a jerk.

The first one is noble but unattainable. The second, much easier. It's all about second chances and swings both ways. If someone has wronged you, try for detente. Maybe just a simple card, wishing them a nice Christmas. If they have any remorse, they'll reply. If not, they won't, and you get clear definition. No one should waste time on a spiteful person.

If you, yourself, have hosed someone, it's a card and small gift. Short message inside the card. The word sorry should be prominent. Only elaborate if it's necessary. Again, if the person replies, a wrong could be mitigated, unless it's invading Ukraine or something.

Decent people believe in redemption. Miscreants don't care. Do your best not to be one of those. And have yourself a merry little Christmas.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Extremists

2024-12-13T08:00:00Z

One of the themes of the Biden administration, echoed by FBI chief Christopher Wray, is that a bunch of far-right violent extremists are running around hellbent on destruction.

My simple question after hearing that was, "Where are these heinous people?" Do they have a clubhouse, a structure? I don't know anyone like that.

The Proud Boys fit the description but, again, where are they? I know the leader went to prison, but I'm not seeing evidence the group is prominent. If the boys are really so "proud," one would think they'd be strutting their stuff in public.

In the opposing corner are the violent leftists, Antifa, groups like that. We actually see them at anti-Israel demonstrations and now, showing support for the alleged assassin of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Some of these poisonous morons are actually praising the alleged murderer Luigi Mangione. There's even a fundraising effort for him.

During the George Floyd riots the nation saw the lunatic left in action. And you can make a case that January 6 spotlighted right-wing anarchy. So let's reason together, as Lyndon Johnson was fond of saying.

Any person advocating political violence should be shunned and condemned. No excuses. None at all.

Enjoy the weekend. Sunday column will be posted early.

Biden's Failed Presidency

2024-12-12T15:20:00Z

These are sad times in the White House as the President and First Lady well understand the loser label is now applied permanently to them. From the most powerful couple in the world just six months ago to "Please turn the lights out when you leave."

President Carter experienced the exact same situation as the Bidens. He left the White House in January 1980 after being humiliated by the Iranian Mullahs and trounced by Ronald Reagan. Mr. Carter has carried that bitterness with him for 43 years, as I chronicle in "Confronting the Presidents."

Same thing with Herbert Hoover, James Buchanan and most other failed presidents. And all of them blame others for their circumstance.

Joe Biden will likely do the same thing even though, unlike Carter, his time is short. Already, Biden acolytes have blamed Donald Trump for inflation, the chaotic border, the surrender in Afghanistan.

It's preposterous, of course, but most people do not admit failure. That's human nature.

It is likely to get even worse for the Bidens as investigations into their finances and terrible policies ramp up. I don't think Trump will play the vengeance card but the Republican Party likely will. Washington is a brutal place.

I can't summon much sympathy for Joe and Jill, as both of them have hurt the country. The President is incompetent. The First Lady deceived Americans about her husband's mental state because she loved her power.

In the end, President Biden will be largely forgotten in our history. He had his chance. He failed to score.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Christmas Time

2024-12-11T08:00:00Z

So, I have opened up my Christmas window with some music and decorations on the tree as you observe. Two weeks of anticipation is appropriate. These people who start playing "Jingle Bell Rock" right after Halloween are demented.

I'm a big Karen Carpenter fan, but Carrie Underwood also does an outstanding job with Christmas tunes. Johnny Mathis, as well. I know, old school. But I'm not "feeling" the Bad Bunny Yule album.

There are some rules for the season in my house. Classic decorations, handwritten cards, generous charitable giving, tasty snacks, and Christmas Eve mass.

Done with forethought, Christmas time can be magical, to use a word made popular by Drew Barrymore.

But failure to plan is risky. Crowds and traffic overwhelm, gifts get sold out, invited guests can misbehave. Think it through. Avoid chaos.

Here is my list. Watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and avoid the dopey song "A Holly Jolly Christmas." Order a big ham for dinner, backed up with scalloped potatoes and fresh green beans. Blueberry pie for dessert.

Move all house clutter to the basement, stock up on candles, watch the original "A Christmas Carol" starring Alastair Sim. Read the Christmas stories by Washington Irving to get a true feel for what Christmas in America was like in colonial times.

And one more thing. Give some folks unexpected gifts. An elderly person in the neighborhood, a poor child, someone battling illness. Make a list, check it twice. That's what it's all about.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Capital Riot Pardons

2024-12-10T08:00:00Z

The proposed pardons for the rioters who invaded the U.S. Capitol almost four years ago (can you believe it) can work both for and against President Trump, depending on how he handles the complex situation.

The fact that all of those prosecuted were ardent Trump supporters brings an emotional component to Mr. Trump's decision. It's tough to let the legal bus rollover folks who love you.

But justice is also in play here. The country simply cannot allow political violence. Most intelligent folks understand that. Therefore, no blanket presidential pardon should be issued.

Here's the fair way to decide the fates of more than 1,500 individuals charged in the situation. Have the Attorney General set up a panel of three well-respected judges to review each case separately and make recommendations. Then, follow the consensus of the judges unless extraordinary circumstances are present.

That would take politics out of it and put precise reasoning into it. Who could object to that?

The testimony is already on the record, so the process should move quickly. President Trump, of course, has the power to override decisions, but this gives him an opportunity to examine each case in a fair way.

Hope it happens.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Hate Sells

2024-12-09T08:00:00Z

As the nation prepares for Christmas, it is worth noting that the "good will toward men" thing is fraying. First, the masculine noun is obsolete. It's now ladies, gentlemen, trans-ers, binary folks, on and on. Exhausting.

Then there's money. Not much cash in it for the goodfellows. Uh-oh. More noun problems. The point I'm trying to make is that hate sells, benevolence not so much.

Billions of dollars aid the Jihadists to this day. Their mandate is executing infidels. The brutal drug cartels make billions peddling poison and murdering people trying to stop them. The bad people industry is thriving.

Vladimir Putin is one of the wealthiest guys on the planet. Did you know that? He uses his dictatorial powers to shake down every industry in Russia. Get in his way, sayonara, baby. Putin's contempt for human life is staggering but also enriching.

Here in America, the hate groups have been largely marginalized. The Nazis, anarchists, and other destructive movements are not acceptable.

But media hatred has become commercialized. We all know the hate pushers. Some of them make millions.

Christmas honors the birth of Jesus, who was executed by haters. The Nazarene was clear: love your neighbor as yourself. No place for hate in that scenario.

But not much money in it, either.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump World

2024-12-06T14:55:00Z

Things are moving quickly in Trump world as the new administration flexes in a variety of mirrors. The stock market, for example, seems to be bullish on lowering consumer prices and stimulating the American energy industry. Not so much panic talk about climate change after the vote. Has anyone seen John Kerry?

Justin Trudeau zipped down to Florida from freezing Ottawa to tell the President-elect that he's down with migrant scrutiny. But in Mexico, new Presidente Claudia Sheinbaum says she still wants to "assist" undocumented folks. Muy malo. Her defiance won't last long.

Who knows what Putin's doing? The Russian ruble has collapsed but bad Vlad has his booty stashed away somewhere in Swiss Francs and dollars. His mistress reportedly lives in Zurich where the mention of a ruble elicits giggles and yodels.

The Vladster has to stop the Ukraine madness, and I expect a cease-fire deal shortly.

In China, the communist rumble ponies also have economic troubles that they need to take seriously. Trump will punish Xi and his pals with major sanctions if they move on Taiwan and Europe will go along with Trump. The Russians can't buy Chinese stuff because the ruble is essentially worthless.

Already, Mr. Trump has dispatched an emissary to Israel and Qatar. Not good news for the nutty Mullahs in Tehran.

So, as we approach Christmas, the American voter has reason to be happy with the national choice. President Biden fell asleep at a conference in Angola, and Kamala Harris watched the sunset in Hawaii. Goodbye to them.

A new world order is about to descend. It will be fascinating to watch.

Europe's Point of View

2024-12-05T08:59:00Z

Yesterday, I was interviewed by L'Express magazine out Paris. Fairly well-known publication throughout Europe that covers American politics on a regular basis.

My takeaway from the Q&A is that most Europeans, including the press over there, have little concept of how working Americans actually live. They get bombarded with Trump bombast without context. It's obviously easy to demonize any politician, and that's what's happening in Europe with Trump.

The media over there is largely left of center and not very interested in American problems like high prices and chaos at the border. They are dialed into Ukraine and the Middle East but, generally speaking, are limited in their understanding of how Americans view those situations.

Thus, many Europeans don't understand why President Trump is back. They have been given little information on the disastrous Biden administration and obviously haven't lived it as we have.

I think I provided some insight, and when the article is printed, we'll post the translated version on BillOReilly.com. As our worldwide profile grows on YouTube, I will most likely do more foreign press. It's needed.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Honesty in News Analysis

2024-12-04T15:24:00Z

Some guys never learn, and it seems I may be one of them. Seeking to protect my sanity, I've cut down my cable news watching significantly. That's because I rarely learn anything, and the presentations are largely dull unless I'm on, of course.

But there I am the other night watching James Carville on MSNBC. Why? Because the Islander game hadn't started yet. The octogenarian is still a lively presence with a lack of self-awareness that is absolutely startling.

The topic is Trump's cabinet picks. James doesn't like them. Shocker. NBC News doesn't like them. The guy who drives James to the studio probably likes them, but he doesn't count.

Only liberal ideology counts on the NBC News airwaves.

If I had been interviewing Mr. James, I would have asked about President Biden's department heads. Does Carville believe Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas has done a good job? He told the nation the border is secure. Does James Carville believe the border is secure? Maybe.

How about Transportation Security, the mighty Pete Buttigieg? Has he done anything to alleviate airline chaos? Anything at all? James, over to you.

This isn't "what aboutism". I hate that. No, this is about honesty in presenting news analysis.

But it's my fault. My remote works. I could have vaporized Carville. But I didn't.

At least I got a message of the day out of it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden's Legacy

2024-12-03T08:00:00Z

President Biden and Jimmy Carter are soulmates. Mr. Carter's four-year term was unsuccessful and is recorded that way in history. You'd have to be a poltroon to defend it.

Joe Biden governed even worse than Carter if the yardstick is helping working Americans. But it was Biden's creation of destructive policies like the Open Border that will doom his legacy forever.

But what about the President's recent pardon of his grifter son? I believe it was the right thing to do on a humanitarian level. Any loving father would have considered it. Yes, Hunter Biden is a lawbreaker and a weak, selfish person. Just one example: His young, out-of-wedlock daughter will pay a terrible price for his irresponsible behavior. But what father wants to see his son incarcerated? An argument can be made that Hunter has paid a price in the court of public opinion.

Joe Biden will not be fondly remembered by most. He likely sold his influence to enrich his family. His policies largely hurt the country. He is not a truthful person.

That's how Joe will ride off into the sunset. The cloud of dust will quickly disappear, along with any semblance of good feelings about the President. Hunter is just a minor part of the whole awful deal. And I'm not being facetious.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The World is Changing

2024-12-02T16:03:00Z

Already the world is rapidly changing because Donald Trump is heading back to the White House. A cease-fire is imminent in Ukraine, Iran's economy is heading for deep trouble, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau couldn't get down to Mar-a-Lago fast enough, and Mexico will have to cooperate on the border, or its economy will collapse.

The world knows President Biden's leadership amounted to almost nothing, as he has stumbled around getting little done. No one feared him, few even feigned respect.

Outside of immigration and lower prices for consumers, there are two high-impact but low-visibility problems I hope President Trump will mitigate. First, the massive government spending that threatens every American's well-being. Mr. Trump has already tasked Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to analyze. They might start with the half-billion tax dollars a year flowing into the PBS/NPR operations.

That is simply a scandal. What is the taxpayer getting here? Well, how about a cavalcade of leftwing propaganda. Let the Nation Public Broadcasting outfit compete in the marketplace.

The second terrible situation is sugar in food and beverages. It is killing millions of Americans. Bobby Kennedy, Jr. has been put on the case. The Trump administration must force the mammoth food corporations to stop peddling harmful products or pay penalties.

The cliche is "It's complicated." Well, not so much. Let's stop wasteful spending and bad nutrition.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Being Thankful

2024-11-29T08:00:00Z

Thanksgiving came off pretty well in America and Canada this year. We are the only countries to celebrate this holiday because our governments are based on Judeo-Christian philosophy, where gratitude for good fortune is important.

Other countries throughout the world formed without an overall philosophical view, but the American founders built a structure based on freedom and personal rights, which, of course, are derived from a monotheistic God, a creator.

Again, Rome had nothing like this, nor did the Europe that grew up after the Roman fall. The Middle East, Africa, and Asia were mostly formed by tyrannical warlords who governed by the sword. Heads rolled, literally.

So, if you take a global view, North Americans have a lot to be thankful for, even if many of them have little understanding of our countries. On the freedom front, you cannot force anyone to care about anything, including their country.

But I value American traditions like Thanksgiving and July 4th.

I hope you do, too.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2024-11-28T08:00:00Z

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Angry Progressives

2024-11-27T08:00:00Z

The progressives are still mad. Three weeks after Kamala got waxed, they continue to wander the land, muttering to themselves. How did it happen? Who can we blame?

Uh, that would be yourselves.

The majority of Americans don't want the following:

- Millions of unsupervised foreign nationals showing up everywhere.

- Massive amounts of hard drugs corrupting the weak.

- Punitive taxation on success in the marketplace.

- Bruce becoming Betsy and playing soccer against your daughter or sister.

- Violent criminals going unpunished because of insane no-bail laws.

- Antisemitism on display at the nation's universities.

- Hiring based on skin color.

- Denial of due process by a cancel culture gone wild.

All of these are acceptable to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. That's why the Democrats went down to a resounding defeat.

Do we all understand? Alec Baldwin? Sharon Stone? Bueller?

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Jack Smith Drops Case Against Trump

2024-11-26T08:00:00Z

The happiest guy around this Thanksgiving has to be Donald Trump. Not only is he the most powerful person in the world once again, but he has humiliated his enemies across the board.

Special Counsel and Trump hater Jack Smith now wants federal charges against Mr. Trump dropped. The New York City fiasco is in ruins as sentencing in the hush money case has been postponed indefinitely. And the Atlanta election prosecution will soon be dropped. In fact, DA Fani Willis will be lucky if she isn't indicted.

Add to that the collapse of MSNBC and CNN, and the President-Elect has scattered his most virulent opponents into the MAGA wind.

So, how exactly did that happen? First, Mr. Trump worked harder than any presidential candidate in history to spread his message that political corruption must cease.

Second, he got lucky with two weak Democrats running against him. Joe Biden is the second worst president in history, and Vice President Harris elevated befuddlement to the Beavis and Butthead level.

Finally, life helped Donald Trump. Most Americans and the country in general were indeed far better off four years ago when he reluctantly left office.

So the Thanksgiving party is on at Mar-a-Lago. History has never seen anything close to what Mr. Trump has accomplished. He faced the dragon and slew it.

Like him or not, that's the truth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Thanksgiving Hostility

2024-11-25T08:00:00Z

Thanks, but no Thanksgiving this year if you supported Donald Trump. That's what some mad-libs are putting out there. Folks like Sunny Hostin from The View don't want to see any MAGA people this coming Thursday.

Have you noticed that this is primarily a one-way street? I haven't heard of Trump voters deep-sixing Kamala supporters. I mean, dining with Rob Reiner might be a stretch, but Cher is welcome at my house any time. So is Taylor Swift, but not the football player boyfriend. Eats too much.

So here's the question. Are devoted liberals meaner than rabid conservatives? Both sides can get nasty, for sure. But I think the blue people win over the red tide.

If you compare the vitriol heard on Fox News to MSNBC - the leftists win big. Yes, FNC has its snipers, but most on-air people are relatively tame. Not so the MS crew. They slime with gusto all day long.

At my house, we fine people who are nasty on Thanksgiving. They have to clean up and walk the Terror Dog.

But confrontation rarely happens.

Some eye-rolling, yes. But not overt hostility. The word happy in front of Thanksgiving rules.

Someone tell The View.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Budget Cuts

2024-11-22T08:00:00Z

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday outlining their strategy to cut government spending.

A reminder that the duo does not have to be confirmed by Congress; they are categorized as presidential advisors.

I like the vision. The feds generally have contempt for us taxpayers, squandering billions of dollars. If the guys do their jobs effectively, important reforms might take place.

The key is to present very specific wasteful situations to President Trump and the folks. Here's a vivid one: Public Broadcasting. PBS and NPR scarf up $535 million tax dollars a year. For what? Far-left ideological presentations? Simon and Garfunkel concerts? Absolutely a colossal waste of money.

Also, we send far too much money overseas where it is often stolen as there is little oversight. Once the dollars leave Washington, fog often rolls in. Hello, Haiti.

The federal debt is the highest in history and could collapse the economy if nothing is done to bring it down. Musk and Ramaswamy seem to understand that.

Go get 'em.

Have a good weekend. New column Sunday morning.

Downfall of MSNBC

2024-11-21T08:00:00Z

President Trump is already getting passive retribution in a big way. Comcast just announced that NBC News is "uncoupling" from MSNBC. That means the progressive, far-left cable channel is done.

As I reported on the No Spin News last night, it's a bit complicated. Comcast owns NBC and has seen the information mothership, NBC News, get hammered in the ratings as consumers walk away. The Today Show down 30 percent. Nightly News off 20.

As you know, pretty much every commentator on MSNBC despises Donald Trump. And executives cheered on the hatred. But now, suddenly, change is in the air as President Trump is once again the most powerful person in the world.

First up is a name change. MSNBC will soon be called something else. I suggest the "Open Border Channel" - OBC. Or maybe the "Fidel Cable Channel" - FCC.

Wait. There's already an FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, and under Trump it is not going to be friendly to Comcast, which would love to sell the MS propaganda outfit and probably will.

Finally, there are plenty of haters on MSNBC, and it's good to see those people get what they deserve. It's over, hope you saved your money.

And one more thing: ABC News has the same problem with The View. Expect some changes there.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump's Chance at Greatness

2024-11-20T14:57:00Z

Been thinking about Donald Trump's place in history because he is truly a unique politician. Yes, Grover Cleveland managed to win two non/consecutive terms in office, but that was largely because his immediate predecessor and opponent, President Benjamin Harrison, was the most boring man on earth at the time. To quote the late Don Rickles: when Ben opened his mouth, dust came out.

President Trump, along with Andrew Jackson, are the only American Chief Executives who "acted out." That is, they embraced startling candor that both helped and hurt them.

It's easy to assess; Americans react emotionally to Donald Trump. He is loved and loathed, praised, and condemned. His presence provokes fear in some quarters, adulation in other precincts.

Old Hickory's persona was similar.

President Trump caught an enormous break having Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as opponents. Those two make Jimmy Carter look like a Tower of Power. Incredibly befuddled, Mr. Biden bestowed economic pain on the populace. Almost daily, Kamala giggled her mindless assent.

So, now, Donald Trump has a chance at greatness. That will take discipline and courage. Old Grover bombed big in his second term. Trump might study that.

The President-elect has a mandate: bring prosperity to working people and punish miscreants who impose corruption and social insanity on this country.

That's a big task. But greatness does not come easily.

Drain the Swamp

2024-11-19T15:16:00Z

Let's go all the way on the swamp. If President Trump is really going to drain it, a giant suction plan is needed. Half-measures will not work.

Therefore, here are my cabinet nominees.

Secretary of Defense: The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. Big fellow. Will not be intimidated by little Putin. May even pat him on the head.

Secretary of the Treasury: Oprah. Many homes, lots of expensive things. Got $2.5 million out of Kamala Harris for something. Not sure what. Good negotiation. The woman knows money.

Secretary of Transportation: Keep Pete Buttigieg. It's a do-nothing job anyway, and Pete nailed that.

Secretary of Chaos: New position. Taylor made for Kid Rock. Rock on, brother.

And while we're on the subject of Taylor, Secretary of Cosmetics: Another new position that Ms. Swift could easily embrace. Just the lipstick alone qualifies her.

Secretary of Snacks: Key position in the new White House. This is where Robert Kennedy, Jr. should be. Carrots, celery, the whole thing.

Secretary of Setting Wagers: Jamie Foxx. Place your bets on Gaetz and the Senate. Roll the dice on Hegseth. Jamie knows how to do this.

Security of Smirking: Snoop Dogg. That's what happens when you smoke pot all day. You smirk. But forget why.

And finally, the big one, Secretary of Cable TV. This cabinet person would be responsible for the remote when President Trump is watching the news programs. Strong fingers and hands needed to facilitate lightning-quick channel changes. Jake Paul is the man.

So there it is. Our new government. If only.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Average American

2024-11-18T15:32:00Z

While the liberal press is melting down over Donald Trump's controversial cabinet selections, I submit that many Americans don't care at all.

Trump won because working Americans want and need financial relief. All the other political stuff pales beside that.

If you read my book "Confronting the Presidents", you will learn exactly why Joe Biden is the second worst president in history and, incredibly, Vice President Harris cheered the incompetence every day.

That's primarily why she lost two weeks ago.

Here's the backup: the average American family has $9,000 less in assets than it did four years ago. The fam spends $500 a month more for the essentials of life. Insurance costs are up 54 percent, beef up 30 percent, your meal on Thanksgiving up 40 percent.

So, if Trump can bring prices down, he could nominate Lady GaGa without much public indignation.

Uhhh ... only kidding about GaGa, Mr. President. Please don't take it seriously.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Controversial Picks

2024-11-15T15:26:00Z

President Trump is a lively guy who often lives on the edge. He creates interesting situations wherever he goes and now the new Republican Senate will experience that up close and personal.

Mr. Trump is apparently nominating Robert Kennedy, Jr. to head the Health and Human Services agency subject to Senate confirmation.

Uh-oh.

Then there's former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who Trump wants as Attorney General. Again, the Senate has to say yes. Again, uh-oh.

At this point, Kennedy and Gaetz are both long shots to get confirmation. I believe Donald Trump knows that, but I'm not positive. Don't know who he's listening to these days.

Pam Bondi is loyal to Trump and has the experience and credentials to be AG. Gaetz doesn't, but would be a major change agent, which is what Trump wants.

Bombs away.

Neither Gaetz nor the conspiracy-shrouded Kennedy would get one single vote from Democrats in the Senate. If Donald Trump can cajole 51 Republicans to embrace his boys - that would be an awesome power display.

The odds are two touchdowns against.

Have a good weekend. Stock up on "Not Woke" gear in our store.

Trump's Cabinet Picks

2024-11-14T15:18:00Z

The Trump administration is being set up to quickly advance the President's vision in all areas. Eight years ago, Donald Trump was unsure of himself as he prepared to take power from Barack Obama. Now he's confident, maybe even too self-assured.

Selecting Matt Gaetz as Attorney General is a giant middle finger to the Justice Department. Gaetz will be a wrecking ball in there, pretty much dismantling the entire apparatus. He'll nuke the swamp rather than just drain it.

But the Florida Congressman will have a tough time in the confirmation process, and the Senate is not a lock to hire him. The media will crucify Gaetz, and things will get bloody fast. Here's the question: does the country need that kind of exposition?

The other Trump cabinet people will pretty much sail through, although Governor Noem will also get hammered by the media.

It is clear to me that President Trump will charge into the White House with a fierce payback attitude. That can be good because villains abound. But on the other hand, vast power is never easy to control.

History proves it.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The View

2024-11-13T08:00:00Z

These are hard times for leftwing news agencies as American voters have repudiated them en masse. Nevertheless, the zealots keep on keepin' on, as some nitwit once said in the 1960s.

The View is an ABC News program that has nothing to do with news gathering so why it has the news label is disconcerting.

The ladies of the morning are spirited in their liberal presentation which is fine if you like that kind of thing. What isn't okay is subversive rhetoric.

This week, Sonny Hostin posited that it is fine to avoid family members at holiday time if they support Donald Trump. Not nice. Not constructive. Not anything positive.

That point of view is mean and petty and the same thing applies to shunning folks who voted for Kamala Harris. Americans should respect sincerely held beliefs.

I actually like Ms. Hostin and gave her a major break by booking her for The O'Reilly Factor years ago. I also like Whoopi Goldberg, whom I've known for many years.

But I see little respect for opposing points of view on The View. I well understand the liberal culture at all the networks, but things have gotten completely out of hand.

If you disrespect people for holding a different view, you are misguided and need to wise up before the holidays. I don't want to throw mashed potatoes at you.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Woke Fanatics

2024-11-12T15:15:00Z

Woke is on the run. About time. Awful movement that is about as un-American as you can get.

On the site, we sell "Not Woke" mugs, shirts, bumper stickers. Fastest moving items we've ever had. Folks want to express their antipathy to "Woke."

Why?

Because supporting biological males competing against females is wrong and can be dangerous. Ditto the intrusion into women's locker rooms by biological men.

I don't care if someone transitions, but that person has absolutely no right to impose their status on anyone. Period.

Then there's skin color. It is wrong to assess an American based on pigmentation. We have strong laws against hurting African Americans and other minorities. These are good laws.

But now, the woke fanatics want to discard merit and replace it with race preferences mandated by employers and colleges.

Flat out a denial of equal opportunity.

A woke country is not a just country. Allowing criminals to hurt people and walk free is not justice. It is dangerous. Advocating government seizure of assets through extreme taxation destroys achievement.

Kamala Harris was the most woke presidential candidate in history by far. She got smoked. It was a combination of incompetence, arrogance and woke that brought the Vice President down.

She got what she deserved.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Harris' Values

2024-11-11T08:00:00Z

While there is great sadness in liberal America over the demise of Kamala Harris, the rise of Donald Trump has brought relief to traditional people.

Yes, high prices and the open border crushed the Vice President, but it is her so-called "values" that also spooked many voters.

So, let's take a look at those.

Kamala Harris embraces a movement that proposes the USA be run by central planning out of Washington, an enormous federal government that would impose government-run health care, onerous taxation, and regulation, a vast entitlement system that would provide for those who cannot or will not compete in the marketplace.

Under the banner of "fairness," the government would "provide," and workers would pay. And pay. And pay.

In addition, I can find no criticism from her targeting far-left law enforcement that has led to widespread death and destruction across the land.

On the subject of death, Ms. Harris celebrates abortion up until birth with no restrictions.

She is also a staunch Green New Deal supporter, no matter what the fiscal destruction. That is an extreme position.

So, relief is in the air, as it should be. The voters have derailed the madness, at least for now.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Unanswered Questions

2024-11-08T08:00:00Z

Some questions remain unanswered after the election on Tuesday. First, why can't the state of Arizona count its votes? Not a large state; it's chaos each Election Day. Too hot? What? The feds might have to begin supervising things in Phoenix if this continues.

Why are the CEOs of CBS, Disney/ABC, and Comcast/NBC allowing their news divisions to destroy themselves? Major mystery of the universe. CBS' 60 Minutes allegedly doctored an interview with Kamala Harris to make her look better. I hope that's not true, as the program is iconic. All CBS has to do is release the transcript to torpedo the charge. It will not. So, major damage has been done.

Same thing with the late-night shows on CBS and ABC. Colbert and Kimmel are ardent liberals. No problem if they are fair with their satire. They are not. Conservatives and many other Americans have stopped watching.

It will be interesting to see how NBC's Saturday Night Live will handle Trump's victory. Will Kamala Harris make another appearance? Doubt it. Lorne Michaels is shrewder than that. There's plenty to mock in the election aftermath. Will SNL spread it around?

My final question is this: does Cable News realize how boring it's become? How predictable? How trite?

How many times during the campaign did we hear "we'll see?" "At the end of the day"? "By the way"? Jeez, they're worse than Biden.

Plenty of questions. Few answers. Please check out my Sunday column. Enjoy the weekend.

Blame Game

2024-11-07T08:00:00Z

Lots of angst among left-wing Americans as the person they loathe the most once again inserts himself into the history books. And when disappointment rises, so does the blame game.

The Democrats lost to Donald Trump because Joe Biden is the second worst president ever. The foppish James Buchanan leads the league, but Biden tried extremely hard to overtake him.

Most incompetent presidents inherited problems; Herbert Hoover comes to mind. Clueless, old Herb did little to help destitute Americans ruined by the Great Depression. Hoover didn't cause the economic collapse; he simply failed to mitigate it.

Buchanan inherited a rebellious South in 1856 and did nothing to tamp things down. As he walked out the White House door, he might have said: "Abe Lincoln, let me introduce you to the Civil War."

President Biden ignited inflation, opened the southern border to all, foolishly withdrew from Afghanistan. On and on.

As Barack Obama once said, don't underestimate Joe's ability to F things up.

The insecure Kamala Harris could not address any of Biden's mistakes. To her, things were great all along the watchtower.

So she lost, and now her supporters want to blame someone. Well, that would be Joe and Kam, correct?

As they say, reality bites.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The 47th President of the United States

2024-11-06T08:00:00Z

Grover Cleveland has company. The jumbo politician was the only President to win non-consecutive terms until this week. The world was a far different place back in 1892, but the American leadership system was essentially the same: old Grover got more electoral votes than the Republican Benjamin Harrison, a boring guy with a limp handshake.

Like President Harrison, one-termer Joe Biden screwed it all up. So, his cheerleader soulmate Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump, a man who has regained power through sheer determination.

The former President is the hardest-working campaigner in history, and it's not even close. Someone stop him before he holds another rally.

I don't know if revenge is sweet for Mr. Trump, but he has vanquished his many enemies. They are bitter and befuddled. Now, everything in America changes as Republicans will take a sledgehammer to progressive politics. Donald Trump has plans.

MAGA people should embrace a "no gloat zone." No retribution is needed. Having Trump back in power is entirely too much for the forces of the left. That should be sufficient for Trump supporters.

Grover Cleveland's second term did not turn out well, as I chronicle in "Confronting the Presidents". Donald Trump should now employ an element of caution, something he's not used to doing. But it is imperative that he does so.

As for Ms. Harris, she gave it a go. There's honor in strenuous effort, as Donald Trump should know. We the people should process the election in that context.

It's the American way.

See you this evening for a historic No Spin News.

Election Day

2024-11-05T08:00:00Z

In 2008, Senator John McCain realized on Election Day morning that he was toast. Polling showed his opponent, then-Senator Barack Obama, was well ahead, and the pollsters were correct.

Today, not one polling person can predict with certainty what will happen between Harris and Trump. Many of these people blow smoke, but they don't know. No one does.

In the space of 16 years, America has drastically changed. Social media has a lot to do with that, as millions of Americans have created fantasy worlds that block out the reality of life. Cyberspace is the ultimate false prophet.

If Kamala Harris becomes president and Congress is run by Democrats, the United States will be dramatically altered. Two years from today, most Americans will be suffering economically, and the loss of personal freedom because of leftist government mandates may be overwhelming.

With Donald Trump, it will be business as usual, traditional governance. If Covid had not happened, Trump would have won reelection in 2020, based on the robust economy alone.

So that's where we are as good Americans cast their ballots. Uncertainty shrouds the land. Let's hope relief is delivered quickly.

The No Spin News resumes Wednesday. See you on The First and NewsNation tonight.

Hating the Opposition

2024-11-04T15:49:00Z

The last polling before tomorrow's vote says about 60 percent of Americans do not like either presidential contender. No surprise.

The demonization of both Trump and Harris is unprecedented in U.S. history. The prime hate driver is a corrupt media which has abandoned any semblance of fairness and journalistic discipline. News presentations have morphed into activist organizations. They seek profit from an audience of true believers, and part of that equation is hating the opposition.

Donald Trump reacts emotionally to that reality, lashing out against his media enemies. Kamala Harris largely ignores the vitriolic statements against her, understanding her deep advantage as the vast majority of the press is leftist.

Observing from the sidelines, fair-minded voters understand the playing field. Vice President Harris is a person of limited vision, totally dependent on the progressive machine to guide her.

Donald Trump is a battered political warrior who often makes rhetorical mistakes. It is easy to rail against him.

Caught in the middle is the country. My belief is that the progressives will cause far more damage to the USA than the MAGA platform. Patriot Americans will make the call as it should be. Hopefully, there'll be brighter days ahead.

See you for a very strong No Spin News tonight.

If Elected

2024-11-01T07:00:00Z

Vice President Harris looks like a nice person. Don't know her or anyone who does. So, I can't bring any personal perspective to her candidacy.

I have known Donald Trump for more than 30 years. That's both good and bad. I tend to overlook many of his controversial statements because I understand much of that is attention-getting theatre. I am solely focused on how he governed and what I believe he'll do going forward. The rhetoric, to me, is a silly sideshow. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

Back to Kamala. Her strident belief in late-term abortion is disturbing. It's not about a woman's body solely - there's another body that should be considered: the unborn but viable child.

To totally dismiss that fact, as Ms. Harris does, is cruel. I'm not wrong about this.

In addition, I see a sense of entitlement from the Vice President. She obviously believes she has no obligation to answer direct questions. Based upon her time in the Senate, I see no problem-solving ability whatsoever. Trump is a deal-maker. Harris is an artful dodger.

There are worse things. But I am wary. History can repeat itself. In 1920, Republican Warren Harding refused to answer questions but got elected anyway.

He was a disaster in the White House.

I know Kamala is not Harding, but I don't know much else about her. If elected, the odds are she will continue the Biden debacle.

That's enough for me to pull the lever for Trump.

Enjoy the weekend. Check-in with us for honest election coverage.

Biden's Comments

2024-10-31T07:00:00Z

Conspiracy people are discussing whether President Biden is actually trying to help Donald Trump! Mr. Biden's statement that Trump supporters are "garbage" was so over the top it forced Kamala Harris to repudiate it, making Joe look like a poltroon.

My analysis is that the current President of the United States has little grasp of reality and is liable to say anything. One of the few who disagrees with me is Vice President Harris, who will not even acknowledge her boss has any mental deficits at all.

There's denial, and then there's delusion. You make the call.

I do believe that Ms. Harris understands exactly what's going on and, of course, has benefited greatly from Biden's decline. In a democratic primary, it is likely that Kamala Harris would have lost to a more moderate candidate. But because Biden was forced out, the progressives who now run the Democratic Party were more than happy to anoint a fellow traveler.

In the end, the chaos the Biden-Harris administration has caused will doom the Democratic machine this election cycle.

I will have a precise prediction on this evening's No Spin News.

Accusations

2024-10-30T07:00:00Z

One former military leader who publicly despises Donald Trump is retired Admiral William McRaven. He served his country honorably under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Writing in The Wall Street Journal this week, the Admiral outlines his support for Kamala Harris: "You may not like her policies, her followers, or her vision for America, but Ms. Harris won't threaten the press, demean immigrants, mock those who have died for the country, break with our allies or undermine the Constitution."

While the Admiral has certainly earned the right to put forth sharp political viewpoints, he betrays himself when he peddles the falsehood that, as President, Mr. Trump "mocked" dead American soldiers.

That accusation was put forth by the hate Trump Atlantic Magazine using an anonymous source. The libel has been widely discredited by people like John Bolton, who is no fan of Trump.

McRaven doesn't have to use sleight of hand. He has made it very clear he thinks Trump is terrible. But why spread defamation, Admiral? You were not present in France, where the Trump-vets statement allegedly occurred. You cannot possibly verify that it happened at all. Anonymous snipers are not valid sources.

Responsible people have a responsibility to be responsible and to overuse the "R" word, so let's get back to that. For the good of the country. That's the patriotic thing to do.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Far-Left Agenda

2024-10-29T07:00:00Z

The Wall Street Journal editorial page is convinced that if Kamala Harris is elected, she will target the Supreme Court for destruction by "packing" it with political appointees. The opinion makes sense because the court is the strongest barrier to a progressive takeover of the country.

To me, that's the most dangerous political situation this country has faced since the south seceded in 1860. The progressive left is totalitarian, and Ms. Harris is their spear point. The far-left agenda includes the following:

- Amnesty for undocumented migrants.

- Reparations for slavery.

- Allowing the government to undermine parental authority in abortion and gender matters involving their children.

- Severe restrictions on firearms.

- Onerous taxation on the affluent and corporations. "Fair share."

- A government-regulated economy that mandates "green" strategies that all companies would have to obey.

- A "reimagining" of criminal punishment. Prison sentences would be reduced dramatically.

- Imposed equity where the federal government would provide entitlements to selected groups.

- Strict limits on speech. New federal laws would punish expression against so-called "marginalized" people. Scandinavian countries have that.

- A weaponized Justice Department and IRS. Those agencies could initiate actions designed to punish political opponents. Few citizens could afford the court costs.

There is no question that progressives support all of the above. Dangerous doesn't even come close.

That's what's at stake on November 5. Do you think most voters realize it?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Past Presidents

2024-10-28T14:58:00Z

Donald Trump's favorite past president is Andrew Jackson, undoubtedly because they share some similarities. Jackson was a populist who lost an election to a well-entrenched politician, John Quincy Adams. Four years later, the General roared back, using a bombastic style to portray Adams as an effete snob. Or something. Jackson had different attack lines every day.

Andrew also took insults personally, as Trump does. In fact, Jackson was a duelist, actually shooting people who insulted him or his wife, Rachel.

In addition, Old Hickory used profanity all the time. While being eulogized, Jackson's favorite parrot, Poll, had to be removed from the funeral service when the bird started loudly cursing. For a very funny chronicling of this, please check out "Confronting the Presidents".

We don't know who Kamala Harris' favorite president is, but I'm betting he was raised in a middle-class home. I've researched the Vice President's statements on American history but found nothing. If she has a role model, it would be interesting to know.

The only White House statement I can find from her is, "I'm not Joe Biden."

One of the few things Kamala has in common with Donald Trump.

Political people should understand U.S. history so achievements, as well as mistakes, can be part of a vision to help this country. We know Trump admired the strong-minded, sometimes brutal Jackson.

But we have no clue who Kamala respects.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Blatant Falsehoods

2024-10-25T07:00:00Z

Another day, another personal attack on Donald Trump. Predictable, will not diminish his base vote, but worthy of scrutiny.

An Associated Press reporter has written a biography of Senator Mitch McConnell and quotes the Kentuckian as saying Trump "urged an insurgency" on January 6, 2021. McConnell, of course, is entitled to his opinion, but there is much evidence to refute it.

If President Trump had directed the illegal actions against the Capitol, he would have certainly been charged with insurrection by Special Counsel Jack Smith. There is no question about that. But Smith knows the record shows two exculpatory facts: Trump "urged" his supporters to be peaceful in a public speech. And he alerted the Pentagon to put the National Guard on alert to protect the Capitol grounds on January 5.

Those are in-stone facts of which Senator McConnell is certainly aware.

And you might not be aware of how much McConnell despises Trump. A LOT, as the Don might say.

My job is to seek and publish the truth. Not easy in a country awash in blatant falsehoods.

President Trump's actions on January 6 should be reported accurately so the American people have a judgmental baseline. That is the right thing to do.

Am I correct, Mitch McConnell?

Have a good weekend.

Vicious Propaganda

2024-10-24T07:00:00Z

The face of desperation is on display for all to see. The "Trump is Hitler" stuff is beyond anything I have ever witnessed in a presidential campaign. Now, Kamala Harris herself is peddling that propaganda.

I believe most Americans are not haters and understand the political play that is being made. The Vice President's vision is muddled; the record is weak. Trump has momentum. So, let's summon up the essence of evil: Hitler.

President Trump governed without a trace of fascism. He did some things well, some not so well. But the Constitution was in force as he made decisions.

The election aftermath is a different story and Americans have a perfect right to form opinions on it. Mr. Trump's posture is now part of the historical record, and it has hurt him. Nevertheless, he is running slightly ahead of Kamala Harris, and that would not be the case if he was an actual "threat to democracy."

Most Americans are not stupid.

That also means they are not buying the Adolph stuff. In fact, the backlash against vicious propaganda could very well hurt Ms. Harris, who is now supporting the hate squad.

In the end, it comes down to people believing what they want to believe. But if you think Trump admires the German mass murderer, you're a complete moron.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Uninformed Voters

2024-10-23T07:00:00Z

The scourge of every election is the uninformed voter. As I always say, the U.S. Constitution gives each citizen the absolute right to be a moron. Millions of people exercise that right every single day.

Dumbness is a non-partisan situation. It is not assigned to a particular party or ideology. Dense and lazy cross all boundaries.

The Long Island newspaper Newsday recently quoted a voter named Gene who said this: "I'm voting all Democrat because we don't have a Republican Party anymore." Newsday goes on to say, "Gene believes Trump could start World War III and wants to take away social security."

Wow. Who knew? Social Security gone!

Nukes over Moscow.

Gene is obviously not engaged with reality, and he has lots of friends. In fact, I think there should be a group called "Nitwits Anonymous." Big crew. When you feel a dumb thought coming on, you call someone who urges you to be silent.

On November 5, Gene is likely to vote unless he's diverted by a new skin piercing or something. And Gene's vote will cancel mine. That's the way it works. One person, one vote. Clear thinking not required.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Kamala-Michelle Show

2024-10-22T07:00:00Z

Michelle Obama will campaign with Kamala Harris this week in Michigan, marking the first time the former First Lady gets out on the trail. That, in itself, is strange.

Where has Mrs. Obama been? She is extremely popular among Democrats, especially African American women. So, one would think she would be aggressively promoting Vice President Harris. But she's been almost completely out of it until now.

Why? I don't know. Therefore, I should end this essay here. But I can't because there's something very dubious about this.

When the Democratic Party's most attractive voice remains largely silent in a close race, there has to be a reason. I accurately reported that Mrs. Obama would not seek the presidential nomination because she simply didn't want it. But this one - no clue.

If I get one, I'll report it immediately.

In the meantime, we will watch the Kamala-Michelle show closely this week.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Campaign Closing Days

2024-10-21T14:52:00Z

As we have reported, the Atlas poll seems to be the most credible this election cycle. I recently interviewed the CEO, and his methodology looks clean, unlike other polling outfits that tell their paymasters what they want to hear.

Anyway, Atlas has Trump up by three points nationally and winning most of the swing states by very small margins. That survey came out yesterday.

So, we are now in the closing part of the campaign. Let's take a fair look at how both candidates are sprinting or limping to the finish line.

Vice President Harris lost some momentum doing the Fox News interview simply because she did not directly answer any of the ten questions posed. Even the foggiest voter had to notice. Instead of seizing the opportunity to display some problem-solving vision, she fell back to verbal nothingness.

Donald Trump has some momentum despite his forays into Twilight Land. Arnold Palmer? Why?

But Trump's Pennsylvania McDonald's venture was a very successful populist display. Photo-op supreme for regular folks. Atlas has him up in the Commonwealth.

Momentum can shift quickly and both candidates need to introduce something fresh into their campaigns. Kamala is doing a CNN Town Hall, but that's just cupcake-ville.

Trump has a big rally set for Madison Square Garden, which could help him.

We are all over this for the next two weeks. This is the place to be.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Dodging Questions

2024-10-18T07:00:00Z

It was very clear that Vice President Harris loathed doing an interview that would air on Fox News. You don't need a body language expert to define that; her overall posture was, "Get me out of here."

Her campaign managers obviously decided that confronting pointed questions about the Biden administration's record could be a positive thing for Kamala Harris. And it might have been had she answered the questions.

Which, of course, she did not.

And she didn't even try. Bret Baier asked her ten direct questions. She dodged each one, launching into evasions that often included calling Donald Trump a dangerous destroyer of democracy.

A little alliteration there.

In fact, Ms. Harris spoke for 17 minutes and 30 seconds. 8 minutes and 30 seconds were devoted to Trump bashing.

Zero seconds spent on solutions to vexing problems.

That had to be intentional, but it doesn't make much sense. If she's trying to win over skeptical voters, shouldn't she have been astute and charming? The middle-class family, Momala?

Can't fathom any votes being gained by that joyless exposition.

Enjoy the weekend.

Kamala Harris' Interview with Fox News

2024-10-17T07:00:00Z

The Kamala Harris interview on Fox News was a frustrating spectacle to watch. Here are the facts without emotion.

Bret Baier asked a number of specific questions in the 30 minutes – Vice President Harris did not answer one of them - instead she pivoted to attacking Trump on everything and refusing to acknowledge what has happened under the Biden administration.

For example – Bret Baier asked her repeatedly about the millions of foreign nationals coming into the United States unattended and whether that was a good thing. Harris would not even acknowledge that it occurred. That is how far out the interview went.

Bret Baier asked her when she noticed that President Biden was in decline. The Vice President wouldn’t even acknowledge any diminishment. So, it was like interviewing someone who lives in a different universe.

Bret Baier did make a couple mistakes. He did not ask about inflation data, which is in stone. I assume that Harris would have dodged but the question was not asked.

Also, when the Vice President did not answer direct questions, Baier should have said that to audience, not in a disrespectful way but point out that the question was not answered, ‘would you like another chance to answer the question that was asked?’

It was clear that Ms. Harris did not like the tone of questions and that her answers were not going to be specific. You could have said 'is Philadelphia in Pennsylvania?' and the Vice President would not have answered. That is a very frustrating situation for the American public.

I will have extensive analysis backed up by facts and video Thursday on the No Spin News. But I can tell you, I never really liked Ms. Harris as a politician because I don’t believe she understands the problems much less could solve them. Now I am 100% convinced Harris does not have the ability to run this country and if elected she would be worse than Joe Biden.

The Strange Media World

2024-10-15T13:51:00Z

Chris Wallace is now almost a regular on MSNBC, in addition to having his own program on CNN. Busy guy. He's hyping a new political book but the reason MS is booking him is that he's not fond of Trump. Actually, that's too soft. Wallace despises Trump.

There is some history here. Chris Wallace was the debate moderator in September, 2020, when the Biden-Trump debate veered out of control. Wallace took major heat for that and then President Trump called him names.

Also, Chris left Fox News for CNN, heavily implying FNC is a dishonest outfit, MSNBC was delirious with joy upon hearing that. So, Chris is "all good" in liberal circles to use a cliche.

I've known Mr. Wallace for decades and he is a skilled journalist. But, now, there's been a change. My news operation wanted to book him to discuss his book but his publisher, Dutton, gave us a snooty "get lost" response.

Okay. I then emailed Chris Wallace directly asking what gives. Nice note. He didn't respond. Disrespectful to be sure.

Wallace's book is not selling. On Amazon, there are just 21 reviews in two weeks. Disaster.

My TV and radio programs reach millions and sell books including my own. No logical reason for Wallace to duck us. No animosity between us.

The media world is getting stranger every day. Have fun with the leftists, Chris. But they won't help you in the long run.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Harris Set to Appear on Fox News

2024-10-15T07:00:00Z

Vice President Harris will get much attention on Wednesday when she sits for a rather short interview with Fox News in Philadelphia. Obviously, Ms. Harris needs to do well, and that will require her to answer directly, not rummage around trying to avoid specifics, as she has been doing.

Bret Baier will be the interrogator, and this is not an easy gig. FNC viewers will expect Mr. Baier to be "tough", that is telling the VP she is not addressing the issue if she dodges.

Baier is not an opinion guy, so no one should expect a confrontation. But he must accurately report exactly what Ms. Harris is doing. And again, if she dodges.

I had a similar experience with Senator Barack Obama in 2008. He agreed to sit down with me in York, Pennsylvania, to gin up his campaign against Senator John McCain. But Mr. Obama is far more articulate than Ms. Harris and understood he was in a No Spin Zone. So he answered the questions and the chat went well. No one was arrested.

On Wednesday, there will be more pressure on Baier than Kamala. He MUST pose fact-based questions on the border, inflation, Afghanistan leading to overseas chaos. No cupcakes.

As I said - tough spot.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The American Dream

2024-10-14T13:44:00Z

A new economic survey says that an American citizen needs to generate about four and a half million dollars in a lifetime to participate in the "American Dream".

So, what's that?

Well, it's having decent food, a comfortable place to live, and options to pursue your interests. That's essentially it. The study goes on to say that under the multi-million dollar umbrella, you can also responsibly raise two children.

Let's say a citizen works for 40 years. That means he or she would have to generate around $100,000 a year to be comfortable dreaming away. The bulk of that money would logically come towards the end of a career when skills have been developed. Also, investments would have to be present.

At this point in our history, taxes are badly encroaching on the dream, especially if you live in liberal areas. That's because the left does not believe in self-reliance. It wants to "guarantee" the American Dream to everyone, even folks who are lazy and irresponsible. Even people who enter this country illegally.

That vision costs trillions of dollars, and all working Americans are required to pay their "fair share", which is whatever the politicians can squeeze out of us.

That's what dreamers face - not only providing for their families but for their neighbors. If the leftists achieve power, the American Dream will evaporate into a brutal struggle for legal tender as take-home pay is gutted.

Be forewarned.

Obama Joins Harris Campaign

2024-10-11T14:59:00Z

With Kamala Harris failing to sustain any momentum at all, the Democratic Party is now trotting out former presidents Clinton and Obama to help her.

At age 78, Mr Clinton is a shadow of his former vibrant self and is not expected to bring much to the campaign trail.

But Barack Obama is a different story. Still revered by most African Americans as well as liberal citizens, Mr. Obama might be able to get out some votes for the Vice President.

However, there's a downside. He is much more authoritative and articulate than Kamala. Even with the gray hair and thin body, Mr. Obama exudes confidence. Kamala Harris does not. In fact, she often looks indecisive, even scared, in public situations.

The contrast between Obama and Harris is striking.

That may hurt Kamala as she struggles to convince non-ideological voters that she can lead the nation in a very dangerous and complicated time.

Surrogate speakers are plentiful, but few can bring success to a weak candidate.

Which is absolutely what Kamala Harris is.

Enjoy the weekend.

Brainwashed

2024-10-10T14:23:00Z

Now that Vice President Harris has stated she agrees with everything the Biden administration has done, she has destroyed her own campaign theme of "not going back."

If all worked so well in the past, why not use that success as a baseline, nurture the positive vibes, so to speak?

Dismissing past successes seems foolish, does it not?

So, we should expect an "oldies but goodies" final campaign push from Ms. Harris. Let's go retro and enjoy the surrender in Afghanistan, the open border, the massive jump in prices for the essentials of life. Why change any of that, right, Madame Vice President?

What Kamala said on The View is like Trump saying, "Hey, let's replay January 6!"

I understand that many Americans won't believe this, but Kamala Harris has brainwashed herself. She has become the political Patty Hearst, a woman trapped by a strange mindset.

Remember this: those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Sounds like a campaign slogan to me.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Harris' True Self

2024-10-09T14:08:00Z

Vice President Harris is a disciplined person. She memorizes responses that are predictable and trite but serve as a shield for all incoming questions.

Middle-class upbringing, fair share, cares about you.

But, somewhat incredibly, Ms. Harris revealed her true self on The View this week.

That program literally adores the Vice President, seeing her as a Trump vanquisher. The hosts worship in the same place that Kamala does: the Inclusive Cathedral of Reproductive Rights.

But a seemingly innocuous question exposed the mindset of Kamala Harris: "Would you have done anything differently than Joe Biden?"

To which Ms. Harris replied: "I can't think of anything."

There it is. When President Biden retired from the race, his job approval ratings hovered around 38 percent. Open borders, terrible inflation, embarrassing withdrawal from Afghanistan, empowering Iran, all policies directly caused by Biden.

And Kamala Harris would not have changed anything.

Almost impossible to believe. But trust her. She'll do exactly what Biden has done. Create massive problems for us all.

Harris' 60 Minutes Interview

2024-10-08T07:00:00Z

Finally, a TV reporter asked pertinent questions of Vice President Harris. Bill Whitaker of "60 Minutes" asked her about runaway inflation, her flips, and the open border.

Unfortunately, Ms. Harris had little to offer. At one point, Kamala actually said the Biden administration promoted "solutions" to the border from the beginning of their term.

That's obviously not even close to being true, but Whitaker didn't pounce. He should have. Kamala blamed the chaos on Congress and Trump, dodges she always uses.

I did not hear one solution to any problem from Kamala Harris. It's not Whitaker's job to provide solutions, but he might have asked her for more specificity other than the rich have to pay their "fair share."

So tired.

Kamala Harris didn't hurt herself in the interview, but she certainly isn't someone with vision other than "we're gonna spend trillions on entitlements."

Another day, another generalization. She's obviously not interested in explaining her philosophy or demonstrating a grasp of political realities.

About the only declarative sentence she layed down was: "I am a capitalist."

I don't believe her. Opportunist, maybe.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Trump's Triumph

2024-10-07T13:43:00Z

Donald Trump's rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a triumph for him. The media is avoiding tabulating the crowd but attendance most likely topped 100,000 in a state the former president has to have.

This is a momentum builder for sure, as Trump supporters are emerging from closets, coast-to-coast. Political experts downplay live events, but that might be foolish. Trump is a much bigger draw than Kamala Harris, and there's no question about it. Why?

As for the Vice President, she is countering with appearances on The View, Colbert, and 60 Minutes. Once upon a time, "sixty" was feared by politicians, but those days are long gone.

Finally, Elon Musk is now driving the Trump Train, and some believe this is a game changer. From his perch on X, Mr. Musk reaches many millions but I can't assess what that might mean to voters. I simply don't know. I do know that the progressives are angry about it.

So that's where we are as the election enters the final month. It's Trump by a nose.

See you for the No Spin News later on.

Uncertain Future

2024-10-04T14:18:00Z

Everywhere I go, people stop me and ask: what's going to happen? They are not talking about the weather.

They are worried about Kamala Harris. Even many who despise Donald Trump are concerned. And the populace should be.

The progressive zealots who now control the Democratic Party are salivating over the prospect of Ms. Harris. She is more militant left than Joe Biden, a machine-backed Californian politician who never deviates from the progressive line.

Ever.

President Biden was a perfect storm of incompetence and befuddlement. The corrupt corporate media continues to cover for him, but the historical record is dim. Massive government spending, punishing price rises, dangerous collapse of national security due to an inexplicable open border policy, and disinterest abroad.

During the debate, J.D. Vance blamed those harmful things on Vice President Harris, but she has no power to forge policy. Biden did it because the progressive White House advisors who really run the country told him to do it.

Then Joe went to the beach.

If elected, Kamala will make Joe look like the late Rush Limbaugh. She is all San Francisco all the time. She knows little about macroeconomics and geopolitics.

The Vice President is as ill-prepared for the top job as any presidential candidate in history.

That's the reason she does no meaningful interviews. If Americans would actually start paying attention, they would collectively shudder.

But many voters will not step back and view the frightening reality. All they want to see is a defeated and humiliated Donald Trump. Very unsettling.

Hope you check out "Confronting the Presidents."

Jack Smith's Appeal

2024-10-03T07:00:00Z

Here's why Jack Smith's appeal to the Supreme Court means little. The Special Prosecutor appears to be trying to "get" Donald Trump, which I believe he is. In addition, I think most voters have that perception.

Mr. Smith's job is to prosecute alleged federal crimes, but his presentation drips of partisan politics. That may be unfair, but certainly, the environment surrounding Smith is damp.

The Supreme Court obviously does not want a politicized Justice Department interfering in a presidential election, which is why it kicked back Trump's election interference case to the lower courts for more definition.

At this point, it is obvious to me that the former president wanted to believe his defeat in 2020 was fraudulent, so he believed it, and that's that. Yes, he tried to persuade others to sign on to his opinion but that's not a crime. I just don't see the felony here. The transition of power occurred, and Trump vacated office.

Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe Smith has some criminal evidence that nobody knows about. I doubt it, but the possibility exists.

The election is coming up fast. Smith is trying his hardest to influence the vote against Trump. We understand, Jack. We know what you're doing. Come November 5, you may be very disappointed.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

VP Debate

2024-10-01T17:11:00Z

Senator Vance and Governor Walz will not have much impact on the vote come November. Both men were selected to be loyal to the top of the ticket. The party faithful might like them, but most Americans have no idea who they are.

In our history, many Vice Presidents who took over the main job were ridiculous. Think Andrew Johnson, John Tyler, Chester A. Arthur. No, he's not a rapper.

Theodore Roosevelt and Calvin Coolidge performed fairly well as presidents, but Lyndon Johnson was a disaster for the country. In fact, the extent of LBJ's corruption actually surprised me while we were researching "Confronting the Presidents."

These days, the best and brightest politicians rarely get offered the second job, lest they outshine the top of the ticket. That's not a good situation for the country.

In the end the vote will come down to personal preferences. Vice President Harris is not a problem-solver and will govern far to the left.

Donald Trump will not moderate his presentation and is likely to duplicate his first rodeo.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Course Correction

2024-09-30T14:32:00Z

It defies reason. Both candidates for President continue to say things or, in Kamala's case, not say things that hurt them with non-ideological voters.

Why? Why do they do this?

Everyone in the country now knows that Vice President Harris cannot answer simple questions. If she could, she would. If she had solutions to problems, she'd state them.

She has no solutions. If she's elected, the same crew of ardent progressives will call the shots just as they have been throughout Biden's term.

Kamala will be the face of the White House, not the brains behind it.

For his part, Donald Trump is now saying the Vice President is "mentally impaired" just like Joe Biden. That statement almost caused ABC's Martha Raddatz to have an on-air breakdown. But why does Trump use extremist rhetoric?

Again, voters understand Ms. Harris is a leftist with no plan to fix anything. She'll simply spend the country into bankruptcy while bad guys run wild here and abroad.

That's a strong point of view. The former President should just say that. You don't need amateur psychology that distracts from progressive danger.

At this point, I don't see a course correction from either candidate. So far, the entire campaign has been dumb.

And I expect it to stay that way.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Kamala Harris' Problem With Catholics

2024-09-27T20:49:00Z

Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, a Catholic and former speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, is scolding Vice President Harris for refusing to attend the Al Smith dinner in New York City, the biggest Catholic fundraiser of the year.

Mr. Smith was the first Catholic to run for president and got waxed by republican Herbert Hoover in 1928. As we document in "Confronting the Presidents", Hoover's campaign put forth that if Smith were elected, the Pope would run the USA.

My take is that Kamala Harris is wise to avoid the Catholics. She is ardently pro-abortion, somehow elevating it to a noble posture. Of course, Roman Catholicism condemns the procedure, so Ms. Harris is not a virtuous person according to that theology.

It's almost like a politician selling BLT sandwiches in front of a Mosque.

So, the downside for Kamala attending the dinner would be substantial as her opponent, Donald Trump, will be there giving some remarks.

Do you think he might mention abortion and Kamala in the same sentence?

Uh, I believe that would be a possibility.

Therefore, the Vice President will be otherwise occupied. God only knows.

"Confronting the Presidents" number one this Sunday on the New York Times list. Hope you check it out.

O'Reilly Reacts to Kamala Harris's MSNBC Interview on NewsNation

2024-09-27T07:00:00Z

Watch Bill's analysis of Vice President Kamala Harris's MSNBC interview.

Trump's Dilemma

2024-09-25T07:00:00Z

In 1961, singer Joe Jones had a hit single called "You Talk Too Much." The refrain went like this:

"You talk too much
You worry me to death

You talk too much

You even worry my pet."

Sixty-three years later, Donald Trump might dial that song up. Here's his dilemma. Thousands of people attend his rallies hoping to be entertained. And the former president rarely disappoints. He riffs on his opponent and the mess the Biden/Harris administration has imposed on the nation. He talks about it. And talks. And talks.

Somewhere in the monologue, which is mostly ad-libbed, Mr. Trump usually veers into crazy land. He's not always serious when he does that but the corrupt media reports his words without context. Think "dictator on day one." "Good people on both sides." "Migrants eating pets."

Wait, the last one was serious.

Anyway, few Americans have the time to watch the Trump show so all they hear are purposefully distorted accounts of his rhetoric. And that is taking a toll on the candidate.

In the opposing camp, Vice President Harris does her share of bloviating but it is rarely entertaining unless you want to hear about her kitchen when she was a little girl. Kamala's middle-class upbringing is her answer to just about every question.

Sample Q & A:

"Who's going to win the World Series?"

"Well, I was a little girl in Oakland, so maybe the A's."

"They're terrible so they won't be there."

"Well, in my middle-class home, we liked them."

In this campaign there is simply no winning verbiage. The pets are, indeed, worried every time Trump speaks, and Kamala's gibberish can cause fainting.

How about less blather, more focus on solving problems?

I know. I should shut up.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Pro-Abortion Harris Skips Al Smith Dinner

2024-09-24T07:00:00Z

Kamala Harris taking a little heat in New York City for declining an invitation to attend the annual Al Smith dinner. That's the fat cat Catholic fundraiser designed to bring both political parties into a lavish room in order to gently mock them.

Mr. Smith was the first Roman Catholic to secure a presidential nomination. That was back in 1928. Old Al got waxed by Herbert Hoover and was lucky to lose. The Great Depression dropped on Hoover's head the next year.

Anyway, Kamala wants no part of this exposition because she is the queen of abortion promotion. That procedure is considered a grave sin by the church. Hard to yuk things up under those circumstances.

The strategy to put the Vice President in the top job is now obvious: TV ads will do her talking. I have learned she is likely to do an interview with "60 Minutes," and that might be it for her in the press zone.

Donald Trump is also expected to talk to "60 Minutes."

Not since the immortal Warren Harding has a presidential candidate hid from the media. But it worked for Warren.

And it may work for Kamala.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Political Involvement

2024-09-23T14:36:00Z

Many showbiz and sports people don't understand the danger of political involvement. It's not really fair, but American consumers often turn against individuals and companies that offend their belief systems.

Bud Light is the most vivid example. That brand remains demonized after hiring a trans spokesperson years ago.

Taylor Swift has hurt her image by endorsing Kamala Harris. Actor Vince Vaughn, a good guy, got blasted after he was seen watching a football game with Donald Trump. George Clooney's liberal advocacy has absolutely damaged his performing career. Late-night TV ratings have been decimated by partisanship.

Again, it may not be fair, but as Cronkite once posited, that's the way it is.

Last week shock jock Howard Stern said he "hated" Trump supporters. Then Oprah Winfrey hosted a kiss-kiss with Ms. Harris. Both celebrities certainly knew their actions would bring scorn, but they are so wealthy and famous that there's little economic downside. However, there's something else to consider.

As one who's been in the public eye for decades, I would never stifle an important belief out of fear. But I don't recommend that point of view. Every single day, I have to deal with unhinged folks who want to hurt me.

It should not be this way. But "should not" is kind of meaningless. Nothing will stop the truly vengeful legions.

Remember that.

American History

2024-09-20T14:37:00Z

Friday evening at 9 Eastern, there is a special on NewsNation where I defend my new book "Confronting the Presidents" under withering questioning from Leland Vittert.

The show is a blast.

The importance of knowing American history cannot be overstated in this time of media corruption and amazing propaganda from many politicians.

Brutal dictators like Stalin, Hitler, and Mao understood that an ignorant population could be easily led. The Soviet and German propaganda machines were incredibly effective. Mao didn't even bother with that. He just executed all dissenters almost on the spot. No concentration camps needed in 1949.

The USA will never become a totalitarian state because most Americans want freedom. But that tenet can and is being eroded by big government progressive programs. If you live in California, you know what I'm talking about.

It is gratifying to me that "Confronting the Presidents" is the number one nonfiction book in the land. There's not a sentence of propaganda in it. Just facts and analysis based on facts are presented.

Every voter needs that kind of presentation right this minute.

Enjoy the weekend.

Confronting the Presidents

2024-09-19T14:11:00Z

My book "Confronting the Presidents" will open at number one on the New York Times bestseller list. That makes 19 chart toppers. I am very tired.

Writing is hard work and strenuous labor usually pays off. We are losing sight of that in America as a pernicious attitude of entitlement is shrouding the land. Many Americans believe the country "owes" them. It does not - despite the hollow promises and promotions from politicians.

"Confronting the Presidents" is a good book, entertaining and fair-minded. If you love your country, you must take the time to learn about it. Our leaders were flawed, as all humans are. Sorry to offend you narcissists.

Despite our divided country, I maintain that most folks are patriotic; they want the best for their fellow citizens as well as themselves.

The key to patriotism is knowledge, honesty, and compassion. We have had 45 presidents. Most were patriots, although not all. Some were cowards and corrupt agents.

Happy that "Confronting the Presidents" is succeeding. That's thanks to the folks, the patriots. You guys are the best.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

World at Risk

2024-09-18T13:53:00Z

Writing online at The Hill, Robert Kennedy, Jr. and Donald Trump, Jr. opine that the Biden administration is putting the world at risk by failing to pull back from the war in Ukraine. The unlikely duo posits that Washington should somehow mediate a ceasefire that would tamp down the threat of nuclear war.

So, let's take a realistic look.

Putin's aggression is not working for him. The Russian economy is tottering and the wartime draft is deeply unpopular. Russian casualties exceed 300,000, according to British intelligence, and hardened criminals are being sent to the front lines instead of military people.

But Putin is a psychopath who could use nuclear weapons if his generals allow it. The war criminal well understands nukes are his only card so caution is a responsible position.

Donald Trump will not be specific but says he can quickly end the conflict. Maybe. He does have some kind of undefined relationship with Vlad the Terrible.

Biden has no chance to end anything. If he did, it would have happened already.

Vice President Harris, it seems, is clueless, and if you ask her about Ukraine, she's likely to tell you about her middle-class upbringing.

At this point, Washington should make a public appeal to begin peace talks. Zelensky has to agree. Nobody knows what Putin will do.

But the juniors are correct. Make the overture, Joe. You can host them at Rehobeth Beach.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Lesser of Two Evils

2024-09-17T07:00:00Z

A few days ago, Pope Francis weighed in on the U.S. presidential race, saying that Catholic voters have to choose between "the lesser of two evils."

I forgive the Pontiff's embrace of a cliche because he is a good man, in my opinion, supremely concerned about the poor and powerless as Jesus of Nazareth was.

According to Catholic Dogma, human life is sacred and must be protected. Thus, abortion is a grave sin. Vice-President Harris eagerly embraces the life-ending procedure with no restrictions in her quest for political power. I suspect Ms. Harris would contend that a fetus is not human life, but how would she know that? It's an opinion, not a fact.

The absolute certainty, no matter what your belief system is, abortion ends a potential human life.

The other "evil" the Pope refers to is limitations on migration. Apparently, Francis believes everyone should be allowed to live where they want with no restraints.

Donald Trump adamantly opposes that.

It is demonstrable that unregulated immigration leads to social disorder and many harmful unintended consequences as governments are overwhelmed.

Whether Francis understands that, I don't know. But Christian doctrine is built on justice which requires lawful discipline. Render to Caesar.

A few years ago, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York asked me to finance a number of homes in Brooklyn for impoverished immigrants. I did not hesitate. Also, I did not ask about the legal status of the poor people who would live in the houses.

My duty as a Catholic is to help the poor. So I did.

But it is also a Christian obligation to protect your country from harm. And the unchecked immigration that President Biden has imposed is absolutely causing massive problems across the USA.

People always ask me who I would like to interview. Pope Francis is at the top of the list.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

O'Reilly Reacts to the 2nd Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump

2024-09-16T07:00:00Z

A second assassination attempt has been made on Donald Trump. We are still gathering information about the gunman but this time it looks like the Secret Service did its job but the political climate in this country is undeniably terrible. Watch my analysis on NewsNation here.

Internet Rumors

2024-09-13T07:00:00Z

The internet is ablaze with charges that ABC News provided the Harris campaign with questions in advance. Big buzz, little backup thus far.

Of course, Trump supporters WANT to believe it, and that makes it easy to spread the allegations. Remember when some folks accused Nancy Pelosi's husband of actually inviting his assailant into his home? Ridiculous, but it was all over the place.

If anyone at ABC was stupid enough to fix the debate, they could be charged with a serious crime. ABC News itself should look into the matter only to provide "transparency." Answer all questions.

My job is to ascertain the truth. So, I am watching this closely. But I would be very surprised if these rumors are true. Again, you would have to be a complete moron to do something like that, which would likely ruin your life.

Also, "Confronting the Presidents" off to a tremendous start. Thanks to all who are supporting it. New column coming Sunday.

Falsehoods and Propaganda

2024-09-12T14:21:00Z

It's difficult to figure out why the corporate media and millions of American voters believe Vice President Harris is capable of running the country.

Stepping back without any hate-Trump sentiment, what has she accomplished on the national level as Senator and Vice President?

Time and again, Ms. Harris dodges simple questions and wanders off into partisan blather. According to her, the Biden administration has performed heroically in every area. No downside. Yet the Harris campaign theme is: "A new way forward."

So, why do we need a new way forward when things are so great? Because, as every sane person knows, things are not great, and Ms. Harris is one of the reasons why.

Foolish TV pundits on the left once again had a common refrain: Kamala was well prepared for the debate.

I guess she prepared well to evade direct questions because she did that all night long. Maybe she prepared herself to mislead, as when she said Trump would sign an "abortion ban."

Absurd.

We live in a country where the truth has largely become irrelevant. Falsehoods and propaganda rule in political circles.

I'm not really "prepared" for that.

Are you?

Another fact-based episode of the No Spin News tonight. See you then.

Trump vs. Harris Debate Reaction

2024-09-11T07:00:00Z

In my opinion, no one won Tuesday's debate. Both candidates looked shaky at times, and it is hard to predict how voters will process the display.

Once again, Vice President Harris refused to answer specific questions about how she would solve the many problems President Biden has created, such as open borders, punishing prices for consumers, Gaza, Ukraine, and social disorder. Kamala had nothing. The only concrete thing she said was that she would give away trillions of federal dollars to help various people.

She even dodged the simplest question: is the country better off than it was four years ago?

Donald Trump's mistakes overshadowed Kamala's lack of specificity. Talking about undocumented migrants eating cats and dogs was bizarre and unverified. Relitigating the 2020 election gets the former president nowhere.

Trump was stronger on foreign policy but got waxed on abortion because he didn't articulate the seriousness of the procedure. He should have used the Bill Clinton "safe and rare" quote to highlight Kamala's extremism. Instead, he allowed Harris to portray him as taking away the "rights" of women.

The moderators, especially Linsey Davis, served up questions designed to put Trump on the defensive, but he should have been ready for that.

ABC /Disney is a liberal network, and that was on full display. Ms. Davis loathes Mr. Trump.

Summing up: Not a good night for the home of the brave. That's the real outcome of the debate.

Blame Trump

2024-09-10T07:00:00Z

Here's a fascinating political play. Republicans in the House have issued a report that says President Biden overrode his military advisors leading up to the disastrous evacuation of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.

Rather than accepting that, the Harris campaign is blaming the entire Afghan screwup on President Trump, saying he made a "bad deal" with the Taliban and Biden isn't responsible.

Malarky doesn't come close to describing that propaganda.

However, that's what the nation will hear during tomorrow's debate: all of the Biden administration's bad policies were the fault of Trump!

Open border? Trump rejects "comprehensive immigration reform."

Inflation? Trump did it, his policies lit the fuse.

Social disorder? Trump caused the January 6 riot at the Capitol.

Do you think the ABC News moderators will challenge the Vice President when she says those things?

Not a chance. That would be defending Trump.

We'll have to"comprehensive" coverage of the debate this evening. I will tweet during. NewsNation before and after.

Plus, our regular edition of the No Spin News. See you later.

Debate Preview

2024-09-09T07:00:00Z

Tensions are high going into Tuesday's debate between former President Trump and Vice President Harris. There is no good will, no "E Pluribus Unum."

Only rancor is in the air.

Both candidates have obvious downsides and most Americans understand that. So, it comes down to what voters can tolerate.

Mr. Trump is not only running against the Democratic Party but also the corporate media. Day after day, the major networks and big city newspapers tilt their coverage to favor Kamala.

That drives Donald Trump mad and often leads to a big lash-out. We saw that last week when he hammered ABC News, which is conducting the debate.

It is absolutely true that the Disney Corporation, which owns ABC, despises Trump. Not sure why CEO Bob Iger allows that since Ms. Harris' tax plan would badly hurt the Mouse factory.

In the debate, Donald Trump must appear much more like a statesman than he has been in the past. This is not a rally or an interview. This is an exercise in persuasion and calm demeanor.

On the Harris side, I expect rehearsed answers and slogans like "opportunity economy" with little specificity. That has worked so far for her.

BillOReilly.com and our many distributors will have the most insightful and honest campaign coverage. We are not afraid or driven by money. Please stay close this whole week.

Chris Wallace Calls Out Dennis Quaid

2024-09-06T07:00:00Z

It was a bit disconcerting to see CNN's Chris Wallace grill actor Dennis Quaid about supporting Donald Trump. As you may know, Mr. Quaid plays President Reagan in a new movie and was promoting the film in conversation with Chris.

Now, I fully understand why Chris Wallace doesn't like Donald Trump. The former president has publicly disparaged him. But Mr. Quaid has nothing to do with that. The actor has a perfect right to support any politician, just as George Clooney and the liberal Hollywood crew do.

Mr. Wallace's line of questioning was that Reagan would not have approved of Trump. Possible but certainly not definitive. Dennis Quaid rightly pointed out that both Reagan and Trump campaigned on "America First."

I know Chris Wallace and he, like his father Mike, is a skilled interviewer. He knew putting Quaid on the spot was a way to pop Trump. I would not have done that.

Straightforward is the way to go. If you don't like Trump, just spell it out. You don't need to drag innocent bystanders into it.

Right?

Have a good weekend. New column Sunday morning.

Looking Back at 1980

2024-09-05T07:00:00Z

The election of 1980 is similar to this year's presidential slugfest. Jimmy Carter was a disaster for four years as the economy slipped and our enemies overseas ran wild.

Carter could not get the American hostages released in Iran, and the press actually mocked his weakness. Nevertheless, the Democratic Party cranked up the propaganda, saying ol' Jimmy was doing great and his opponent, Ronald Reagan, was a Hollywood dunderhead.

The voters knew Carter was awful and Reagan won easily. But what a difference 44 years makes.

In America today, many folks literally live in a fantasy world centered around their devices. Cyber-space is their reality; the world itself is not really relevant.

Add to that an almost total disinterest in history and fact finding and you have an environment where millions of voters cast ballots in absolute intellectual darkness.

They believe what they want to believe even if they vote against their own self-interest.

Vice-President Harris has not proven herself in any area. She's a machine politician who will do as she's told by her progressive "handlers." She's not confident discussing complex issues and may not even understand them. We don't know what she knows because she is kept away from questioning.

Yet millions of voters are okay with that. Perplexing. Dangerous.

Will the people wake up? We'll know in two months.

See you later for the No Spin News.

The Voters

2024-09-04T07:00:00Z

It is fairly easy to pinpoint Trump voters. Generally, they are conservative Americans or folks who object to the woke culture. The MAGA crew are devoted to the former President, but they are not the majority supporting him; traditional-thinking Americans are the largest group that will vote Republican in November.

It's vastly different for Vice President Harris. There are three main voting blocs supporting her. The first and largest are Americans who simply despise Donald Trump. They would vote for Dracula over him.

The second crew is doctrinaire liberal, the George Clooney's and MSNBC roster. As long as you are left - you are right. These people vote ideology exclusively.

The third and smallest Kamala support group are skin color voters. A woman of color? Certainly. Don't need more than that.

At this point, very few voters are undecided. What is somewhat available are apathetic folks who don't care very much. If you can get their attention, you might get their vote. If they show up on Election Day. A big if.

Kamala and Trump are pretty much tied at this point. The debate will be big, and we'll have smart, honest coverage.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Two Months Out

2024-09-03T07:00:00Z

Our election coverage kicks into turbo today as the presidential vote is just two months away. At this point, Donald Trump has an opportunity to win if he performs well in the debate one week from tonight.

So far, Mr. Trump has not effectively defined Ms. Harris for Americans who do not follow politics. And those folks are legion.

It's not difficult to marginalize the Vice President who has done little to help the Americans on a national level. In fact, her record is one of the weakest in American history for a major party nominee. When you read "Confronting the Presidents," that will become clear.

Ms. Harris is also unable to articulate specific policies that might deal with vexing problems. Talking about "joy" isn't going to cut it.

The problem, so far, with Donald Trump is that he is imprecise in his presentation. He has a record to run on but is constantly bogged down in foolish controversies that mean nothing.

We will deal with this tonight on the No Spin News. See you later.

The Harris-Walz Interview Review

2024-08-30T07:00:00Z

Here's my reaction Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's CNN interview from X/Twitter. Follow me @BillOReilly.

First question: What would #KamalaHarris do on day one if elected? General answer, she's going to help the middle class. Waste of time.
Second question: Things were more affordable under Trump. Decent question. Answer #KamalaHarris says Trump "mismanaged" the economy. And she'll "bring down" costs. Also, she'll give money to folks to buy homes.
Bash asks why #KamalaHarris and Biden allowed record border crossings. The VP completely dodges the question. I think Walz is asleep.
Bash asks #KamalaHarris if she wants to decriminalize illegal border crossing. The VP dodges saying she prosecuted border crimes in California.
#KamalaHarris says her "values have not changed." Rehearsed dodge. Walz may be in a coma.
Break one. Someone throw water on Walz. #KamalaHarris successfully avoided all specifics other than promising massive federal money giveaways. Very specific about that.
Dana Bash tries to bait #KamalaHarris on Trump's skin color comments. TO HER CREDIT, she doesn't take the easy shot. Very smart.
Bash asks Walz about the gun in war comments. Walz completely dodges. Bash lets it go. Not good.
Walz says people know who he is. I don't. Sounds like a socialist to me but who knows?
Second break is here. I've learned nothing. Dana Bash is not going to alienate the Democrat candidates and in order to get through their rehearsed answers, you have to confront. Only once did Bash do that - the fracking question.
#KamalaHarris says Biden's regime is " transformative." History will chronicle the "extraordinary successes." So why is Biden's approval rating mid 30's? Ms. Bash didn't ask.
Watching the interview with three people. All are fair, no party apparatchiks. I asked: anyone learn anything? Nos all around.
We have entered the puff zone now. Interview about 20 minutes. Again, not much new. CNN panel loved it. I was kind of bored. Dems will love it, Republicans the opposite. History was not made. Good night. #NoSpin

Harris-Walz Interview

2024-08-29T14:17:00Z

It's not the question; it's the follow-up. Tonight, Vice President Harris and Governor Walz will be interviewed on CNN by correspondent Dana Bash.

She has to ask tough questions or be the subject of ridicule. But she will not insist those questions be answered as I, your humble correspondent, routinely do.

Not bragging, just citing the record.

The Harris campaign knows the game, and both Kamala and Tim will be well briefed to stay in the rehearsed zone. Examples.

- Trump is a convicted felon.

- Trump killed border controls. As president, Ms. Harris will gladly sign a new "security" bill into law.

- Trump wants to deprive women of "reproductive rights."

- Trump coddles dictators.

- Trump cuts taxes for the rich.

On and on.

Dana Bash has to know the propaganda spigot will be full blast, but unless she's willing to interrupt every two minutes, there is little she can do to stop it.

Unless.

She takes a different approach.

A seasoned interviewer who actually cares about getting perspective from those seeking power might ask a series of questions about problem-solving and policy history. Examples.

- Madame Vice President, why do you think inflation went from 1.4 percent in Trump's last year to more than 9 percent in your administration?

- How exactly will you bring prices down for consumers?

- Why did the Biden/Harris administration allow millions of foreign nationals entry into the country? How exactly would you stop that?

- Do you regret asking Americans to provide bail money for violent protesters in the wake of the George Floyd killing?

There are many more short, precise questions that should be presented to the Vice President and her soul brother, Governor Walz.

Don't know Dana Bash. Do know the state of journalism today. Doubt if the interview will produce much. I will be tweeting during it.

@BillOReilly.

Debates and Interviews

2024-08-28T07:00:00Z

As we predicted, the September 10 presidential debate will take place with ABC News moderating. The rules will be the same as the June CNN debate: microphones muted while the opposing candidate is speaking. This is a plus for Trump, who could blurt out anything at any time.

Blurting doesn't win debates.

Meanwhile, CNN has landed the first interview with candidate Harris. But wait, it's not just her. Her partner in socialism, Tim Walz, will be by her side on Thursday evening.

Why?

The answer is obvious: the Governor will jump in if Kamala begins to falter. It's much easier to have a "wingman" in any interview.

CNN correspondent Dana Bash will be the interrogator, but I don't expect much. Ms. Bash is smart, but she's outnumbered three to one: the Vice President, the Governor, and much of CNN's liberal audience will be arrayed.

Tough spot.

Walz is a champion bloviator, and you're right; it takes one to know one.

We will be on this debate spectacle, tweeting throughout with a column to follow. @BillOReilly will get you a primo ticket.

Kamala did this to interrupt my vacation, but I forgive her.

Campaign Strategies

2024-08-27T07:00:00Z

As Americans take a political breather at the end of summer, both campaigns are brainstorming their 60-day strategy until Election Day.

The Trump machine has settled on defining Harris/Walz as socialists, which is partly true. Both believe big government is the solution to personal problems.

Of course, history demonstrates that is fallacious but how many voters understand history or geopolitics?

The Harris campaign will try to sell mass victimization in the USA. If you're not economically successful it's because you're being denied opportunity by greedy corporations and individuals. If elected, the democrats will punish those exploiters and provide massive assistance to the have nots.

Yes, that's socialism.

In the past, the American voter has mostly rejected far left candidates but with the media promoting progressive thought, the landscape is different this year.

Harris and Walz have a chance even though the damage progressive Joe Biden has caused is immense. If Kamala and Tim win - we ain't seen nothing yet!

BillOReilly.com is way ahead of the political brawl and will deliver the most incisive analysis you can get. The sprint starts September 3. Stay close.

Greetings From Long Island

2024-08-26T07:00:00Z

Greetings from the tip of Long Island. Vacationing, but will check in this week with comments, pictures, etc. Tonight is the first of four Trump interviews culled from the History Tour I did with him. I think you'll learn stuff you didn't know.

Over the weekend Senator Bernie Sanders and other liberal Democrats ran around demanding "comprehensive immigration reform." It's so boring. Just say it: You want amnesty and citizenship for those who are in the country without documentation. That's what the Democratic Party has always wanted.

Vice President Harris is now saying she'll get tough on the border. Sure, and Sylvester Stallone will go trans.

Completely absurd.

In fact, I'm convinced Ms. Kamala knows very little about geopolitics. Yes, I know she's dined in San Francisco's Chinatown.

Hope you saw my interview with Senator Vance. We will ask both the Vice President and Governor Walz to join us as well.

Chances are the same as the Stallone/trans line.

Onward.

It's My Party and I'll Lie If I Want To

2024-08-23T07:00:00Z

There are times when Donald Trump gives an opinion while at the same proclaiming his belief to be true. Two vivid examples. The former President has stated almost all "legal experts" wanted Roe v. Wade overturned.

No. Millions in the legal world are angry the Supreme Court kicked the abortion situation back to the states.

Another. Joe Biden is the worst president in history.   With James Buchanan failing to enforce federal authority in the South before the Civil War commenced, Biden cannot be sullied with "the worst" designation.   The war between the states was by far the worst catastrophe the United States has ever experienced.

Enter Kamala Harris whose acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention was largely based on false assertions when she spoke of policy.

Consider the following:

- The Vice President said that Donald Trump wants " to ban abortion". Trump has clearly stated he believes the procedure is sometimes necessary.

- Kamala Harris put forth that Trump wants to "cut" social security and Medicare. False. He has not advocated any cuts. In fact, he's calling for a cessation of tax on SS benefits.

- Ms. Harris then told the world that her opponent wants to "use the military against civilians".   Another falsehood. The former president has cited the "Insurrection Act" of 1792. That law gives the President the authority to quell violent mayhem if individual states cannot. It's on the books.

We could go on. But why bother? In politics today, there is no such thing as truth. Therefore, the American public is the victim of continuous deceit.

As many television pundits enthusiastically praised the Vice President's speech, I spotlighted my falsehoods research on NewsNation. Chris Cuomo's counter was that all convention speeches lack specifics and accuracy because the goal of the speech is to rally the party faithful. There is some truth to that.

But, the generalization doesn't cut it for me. I will not accept distortions uttered by politicians no matter what the situation. It's wrong and dangerous not to challenge fabrications designed to deceive voters no matter what the forum.

Saying "they all do it" is a dereliction of journalism duty. None of them SHOULD do it. But, clearly, the American press doesn't care.

We the people are in an awful circumstance. The national media has abdicated its responsibility to hold the powerful to account across the board. In fact, much of the press is rooting for favored candidates, not demanding honesty in presentations.

Kamala Harris knows she can say anything and skate away unbothered. She also understands that Trump's misstatements will be called out while hers will be codified as truth-telling.

This is our country as we approach the presidential election.

Dark times.

O'Reilly Reacts to Kamala Harris' DNC Speech

2024-08-23T05:45:00Z

Watch my reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris' DNC speech o NewsNation.

A Sanders Regime

2024-08-22T07:00:00Z

It was fascinating to see Senator Bernie Sanders go full communist Tuesday night in Chicago. Sanders well understands that time is not his comrade, and it could very well be his last national address.

In that he joins Joe Biden.

I submit that most Americans have no idea how far left the self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" really is. I believe he is the first communist ever to serve in the U.S. Senate. Certainly, the first one with a New York accent.

The Bernanator now calls wealthy white men "oligarchs", a loaded word that implies massive theft from the "people."

The Bern-meister wants to make the American oligarchy to pay for its sins. And pay. And pay.

Get the economic guillotine ready.

Under a Sanders regime, the federal government would "provide" the following: free health care (a human right), free college education for favored groups, a guaranteed income even if you don't work, free childcare, free food (again for selected groups), subsidies for housing, pensions, and green projects, no matter how inefficient they might be.

In short, the feds would control the economy through massive taxation and dole out almost unlimited entitlements.

Of course, as the Cuban and Russian people found out, this would lead to deprivation across the board.

I guess Bernie is fine with that as he gazes at Lake Champlain from his well-appointed Vermont dacha. And Kamala is a big Bernie fan, co-sponsoring his failed 2019 "Medicare for All" bill.

But you will never hear the Vice President touting Bernie's vision on the campaign trail. That might frighten the uninformed.

But if she's elected, watch out.

California Values

2024-08-21T07:00:00Z

Here's something to consider: I believe most Republican voters understand the downside of President Trump, but the majority of Democrats have no blankin' idea what Kamala Harris stands for.

Of course, there's no data on this, so I could be wrong.

The raucous convention in Chicago has convinced me that Democrats simply do not care that Ms. Harris is a devoted leftist who would promote "California values" if she becomes president.

So, what are California values?

Equity is the most important one. That is providing more opportunities for selected groups to attempt to right historical wrongs.

Then there is onerous taxation. To provide an endless list of free stuff to the favored groups, you have to take money from workers and businesses. California leads the league in doing that, which is why so many are leaving that state.

Restorative Justice is next. That is light or no punishment for miscreants. A "reimagining" of the social contract that is supposed to protect folks from criminal behavior. Not in California. There, it is an unjust society that "stimulates" crime, not the individual who must be persuaded, not forced, to obey the law.

And, finally, the power of the state over parental authority. Children must be raised by a liberal "village."

Kamala Harris believes in all of those things and will try to impose them if elected. No question about it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Delusion at the DNC

2024-08-20T14:41:00Z

President Biden delivered his final major address in Chicago beginning at 11:30 pm - a time when the Chief Executive is usually deep in the Land of Nod.

In said speech, Mr. Biden touted the tremendous success of his administration, aided immensely by Vice President Harris.

A world away, the Taliban grinned.

Otherwise, the Democratic Convention had a rather "Alice in Wonderland" feel to it. Despite high inflation, growing social disorder, chaos overseas, and political hatred at home, the Dems were delirious with joy over their party's standing.

The White Rabbit understood.

Outside the convention center, Planned Parenthood signed up women for free abortions. Inside, there was great pride in promoting the mass destruction of the unborn.

My family were once Kennedy-style Democrats. The Biden/Harris party could not be further away from that.

In fact, the convention Dems are closer to the right-wing bomb thrower Barry Goldwater, who once said: "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice!"

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Joe Biden's DNC Speech

2024-08-19T07:00:00Z

Tonight, President Joe Biden delivers his final major address at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

This is not a speech of importance but an homage to himself. He will list his accomplishments and put himself on a rhetorical pedestal.

It's all nonsense of course but Mr. Biden is entitled to go out the way he wants and mocking him is not a noble thing.

But correcting the historical record is - and it's brutally necessary in this time of blatant media propaganda.

Nancy Pelosi says President Biden deserves to be on Mount Rushmore. Now, she really doesn't believe that she's playing politics as usual. If she does in reality think that Joe should be next to Abe and the boys, then Nancy deserves to be in an insane asylum.

Here's the truth: Joe Biden is the second worst president in history. Only the coward James Buchanan bests him. I will provide factual backup for that statement in my upcoming book "Confronting the Presidents."

Democrats running the party understand Mr. Biden is vastly unpopular and want to provide as much distance as possible between him and the new liberal savior Kamala Harris.

Thus, the President speaks Monday, the Vice President Thursday. No dual arm raise. Getting Joe out of town quick is paramount.

History will not be kind to Joe Biden. The open border will haunt his legacy. Much horror to come. And the chieftains know it.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Governor Tim Walz

2024-08-16T07:00:00Z

All politicians have strengths and weaknesses, but you would not know that in our polarized society. There is big money in spreading Ideological hatred and no shortage of purveyors in corporate and social media.

Governor Tim Walz is an excellent example. Minnesota voters like him as his job approval rating is 53 percent. But Republicans despise Walz as his policies are off the chart left.

But one thing caught my eye. The Governor and his wife don't have much money. Before politics, he was a teacher and coach. Obviously, those are not high wage professions.

Walz's tax returns indicate that he lives modestly unlike, say, the Biden family which has enriched itself using political clout. Remember Joe and Jill Biden lead the league in refinancing their expensive homes. What's that all about?

They won't say. The press won't ask. And don't even mention the Hunter business.

Living the life of a regular American is admirable for politicians who could exploit their power for financial gain. I respect those who resist that temptation.

The pursuit of money almost always corrupts the chaser. Just ask Senator Robert Menendez and a legion of others who have not been caught. Voters should be sensitive to this issue. You want to live large - go to the private sector.

But if the goal is to help the folks, currency should not be a consideration. And unlike that phony Bernie Sanders, Walz seems to have walked the walk.

Enjoy the weekend.

Promises

2024-08-15T07:00:00Z

My whole working life I've listened to politicians talk about what they are going to do. Yesterday, Donald Trump said he would cut energy bills in half.

At the same time, Kamala Harris is telling folks she's going to "bring down" housing costs.

But absent from the promise procession is the most important word: "how."

We live in a country where words often have no meaning. We are barraged with "at the end of the day," "deep dive," "the next level," that kind of bilge. Next to professional athletes, politicians are the worst: generalizing, misleading, spouting foolish propaganda.

The media is almost as bad. Welcome to the cliche hall of fame: "What do you make of that," "Stay with us," "We'll have to wait and see."

It's all numbing and insulting. How about uttering a cogent thought once in a while? Maybe put forth a specific solution.

Too much to ask, I know. And we, the people, are accepting it. Another cliche: we are being dumbed down.

And the corrupt crew knows it.

My Questions for Harris and Trump

2024-08-14T07:00:00Z

Usually this message is fact based but today I'm going to stray a bit. I've been thinking about the most penetrating question I'd like to ask both presidential candidates if I ever get the chance.

For Kamala Harris, it would be this: in the wake of the George Floyd riots, you asked Americans to donate to an organization that was raising money to bail out those arrested in the violent expositions. Why did you do that?

The question is simple and evocative. She could not deny it therefore she would have to explain her motivation. Was race a factor? Did she distrust the Minnesota police? Were her sympathies with law breakers? What?

It's not fair to speculate about the Vice President's answer. But she should answer and have the question repeated over and over until she does.

On the Trump front, another simple query."Mr. President, you often criticize Kamala Harris in very personal ways. Do you think that will get you votes?"

Would be fascinating to know his strategy in that area.

I may, actually, get to ask Mr. Trump that question as he has granted me many interviews over the years. No way Ms. Kamala would ever speak to me; far too much risk for her.

So there you have it. Do you have a favorite question? Send it to me.

No Love in Politics

2024-08-13T15:01:00Z

As the summer of no love winds down, some Americans are terrified by the upcoming election. Simply put, the loathing factor may be at an all-time high.

Conservatives rightly believe that Kamala Harris will attempt to drag the country into the "European Model," where a big government doles out what's good for you and your personal outlook be damned.

On the other side, the anti-Trump crew hates him beyond all reason. That feeling, of course, is being driven by a corporate media, which is now in business to destroy the former president.

The situation is dividing families, causing depression, ruining summer vacations.

For me, I see the November vote as a defining moment in our history. When you read "Confronting the Presidents," it will become clear that crisis elections have been held before - and American voters always did the right thing.

But this time, there is doubt. Not for me; I well understand the danger from California Kamala. But I also know the mistakes Donald Trump, who should win this handily, is making.

Thus, there is no love in politics right now. It's not far out. It's not groovy.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Personal Emotion

2024-08-12T07:00:00Z

As you know, if you follow my news analysis, perhaps the weakest part of the American voting profile is that many folks simply believe what they want to believe, and facts have little to do with decisions.

It is beyond any doubt that the anti-Trump vote is driven by personal emotion. Millions of Americans don't like his style. That overwhelms Trump's actual policies while in office.

So, keeping that in mind, what do Kamala Harris' supporters want to believe? Let's consider the question without partisan propaganda.

It is difficult to zero in on what the Vice President's vision for America really is. She is certainly not a problem solver, her four years in the Senate certifies that.

Yes, she's a liberal. But what does that really mean? What do her supporters believe she will do for them and the nation?

It can't be "bringing people together." Ms. Harris is a champion of "equity," as is Joe Biden. The equity position of favoring certain groups for more opportunity is absolutely not a uniting proposition.

Do Harris supporters believe that it is?

How about inflation? Harris supports colossal government spending, which cannot bring inflation down. Do Kamala fans know that?

I could list a dozen democrat policies that are divisive, just as some republican beliefs are.

But I still don't know why any voter would believe that Kamala Harris can improve America. But obviously, millions of folks believe she can.

Based on what?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Kamala Harris

2024-08-10T07:00:00Z

Just finished my Sunday column "The Truth About Candidate Harris". This is a companion piece to last Sunday's "The Truth About Candidate Trump". Both articles cut throw the blather so voters can get a clear view of these two without all the noise.

The Harris column was easier to write than Trump even though I've known the man for more than 30 years. The former president is a complex human being who literally lives in a world of his own.

I don't know Kamala Harris at all. But I do know her crew: the progressive left. And there's a good reason the far left loves her. I mean, Bernie Sanders is delirious with joy that she's the Democratic candidate.

The Vice President is a pure ideologue. She has demonstrated no problem solving ability, no vision, no clarity of thought. She hides from the press even though it fawns over her. That tells us something.

I've spent considerable time thinking about Kamala Harris and what her possible presidency would mean for the American people.

You can read what I've come up with on Sunday. Enjoy the weekend.

ABC News Debate is Back On

2024-08-09T15:22:00Z

When it comes to the media, Donald Trump has become a trickster. He was always going to debate Kamala Harris, but created headlines by saying he was backing out of ABC and demanding a Fox News forum. He knew Kamala would say no way and she did.

Now, Trump is back with ABC and is suggesting NBC and Fox as well. Family Feud hasn't been mentioned yet but don't rule it out.

The is all part of the former President's "psych ops" strategy. He doesn't like the corporate media, so he manipulates coverage to bring attention to himself.

He really doesn't like the Vice President therefore forcing her to reply to what he says is great fun.

It's all part of politics USA in the summer of no love. By the time November arrives, voters will need massive amounts of Valium.

Kamala says she'll pay for it.

Best election coverage, right here.

Why Walz Over Shapiro?

2024-08-08T07:00:00Z

David Axelrod on CNN is one of the few honest commentators on television these days. When I want to know what's going on inside the Democratic Party, I analyze what he's saying. I then compare it to my other sources, all of whom would be crushed if I mentioned their names. So, I cannot use their information in a factual way because we don't report anonymous stuff.

Axelrod, chief advisor to Barack Obama, believes Kamala Harris did not consider Governor Josh Shapiro's Jewish heritage when deciding against him as her running mate.

I think that's true, but she was certainly aware that strident elements of her party were angered when Shapiro scolded the pro-Palestinian protesters. Axelrod says Kamala simply felt more comfortable with Tim Walz.

Okay, but why? So here I am morphing into Sherlock Holmes and observing the clues. The Vice President gets very anxious when out of her comfort zone. That's why she has trouble verbally when attempting to explain herself without a script. We've all seen it. That's the reason Kamala Harris avoids almost all interviews.

Governor Walz simply told Kamala what she wanted to hear; simpatico on everything. Similar to the Trump/Vance situation. Josh Shapiro, on the other hand, has a mind of his own.

Say hello to my little Tim.

Stay with BillOReilly.com for the absolute best election coverage.

Tim Walz

2024-08-07T07:00:00Z

The presidential vote just became more fascinating with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz hopping aboard the Kamala Express.

The Governor is a patriot with his military and teaching service but a far, far left guy who is perfectly compatible with semi-socialist Kamala.

Two peas in a pod. United we stand. Reunited, and it feels so good.

One wonders what Peaches and Herb would think of this political duo. Let's do a checklist.

Amnesty for the undocumented? Yes, yes, yes.

Sanctuary states? Of course.

"Reimagining" the police? Let's do it.

Abortion for any reason at any time til birth? Why not?

Socialized medicine, wealth tax, Green new, old, and intermediate deals? All day long.

Packing the Supreme Court? No question.

Self-protection with guns? No way.

Trans men versus biological women? Just do it!

If Americans support the Harris/Walz ticket, they will be voting to destroy American traditions. There will be no place for those in Kamala world.

Does Sgt. Tim realize what he's signed up for?

Yes, yes, yes.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Stock Market

2024-08-06T07:00:00Z

The stock market turbulence should help the Trump campaign if it can clearly define what's actually happening - which is a big if.

The American economy is driven by consumer spending and many folks are simply out of money. The punishing inflation caused by bad Biden policies such as massive federal spending and attacking the fossil fuel industry have depleted take home pay as consumers struggle with the high cost of everything.

Kamala Harris wants to impose higher taxes on corporations which, of course, would pass that expense on to the folks in the form of even higher prices. That's what always happens.

Kamala says she will punish "price gouging," but she can't. It's still a free marketplace although Ms. Harris despises that. She wants the federal government to control the economy - the signature socialist philosophy.

If tax-cutter Donald Trump would explain the potential catastrophic danger to voters he would surge in the polls. The slogan might be: "Want to suffer more economically? Kamala will make it happen."

And if she wins, she will just like Biden did.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Friends and Enemies

2024-08-05T07:00:00Z

It's August, and I was hoping for a less intense political month, but that's not going to happen. On Saturday, Donald Trump held a rally in Georgia, where he scorched the state's popular Republican governor, Brian Kemp, who has a 60 percent approval rating.

Mr. Trump did that because he believes Kemp did not confront election "corruption" in 2020. Joe Biden won Georgia by a minuscule margin, and Trump says the result was "rigged."

But the Republicans need Georgia this year, and Governor Kemp is the most powerful man in the state. Doesn't seem to me that marginalizing him is good strategy.

With powerful media and financial forces ferociously backing Kamala Harris, the November vote looks to be close. Donald Trump should be courting all potential allies even if he doesn't like them. Based on policy, Trump should win. But should is a meaningless word. Mistakes always derail should.

Kamala Harris will do what she is told to do by experienced campaigners who are running her show.

Nobody tells Trump what to do.

Mistakes will hurt him.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Unpredictable Campaigns

2024-08-02T07:00:00Z

Every presidential campaign since Adams-Jefferson has been nasty with unpredictable twists and turns. And so we are experiencing that with Trump-Harris.

On Sunday, my column will be entitled "The Truth About Trump." For anyone interested in a real assessment of his position in history right now, this will be a must read. However, I am well aware that millions of Americans could not care less about the truth.

At this point, Vice President Harris is running a cautious campaign, taking full advantage of the cloak the corporate media is providing her. Scripted events only, little accountability for past mistakes.

The Trump campaign is the exact opposite. The former president is engaging opponents like the Black journalist confab and selecting a controversial second—Senator Vance—who's the exact opposite of Mike Pence.

In the early going, advantage Kamala. The Trump folks better take notice.

As the election comes closer, Trump's superior policy positions should help him. He governed effectively, especially when it came to economics.

Ms. Harris, on the other hand, had no accomplishments in the Senate and none as Vice President. Her performance on behalf of the folks is non-existent.

But that will be obscured by the corrupt media, so Donald Trump must sell it himself. That will not happen with foolish skin color and ethnicity discussions.

In 2008, Senator John McCain had it all over Barrack Obama on the experience and performance fronts. He lost.

Believe me, Kamala and her crew are reopening that playbook.

Have a nice summer weekend.

Trump's Chicago Event

2024-08-01T07:00:00Z

Predictably, the "dialogue" between Donald Trump and some Black journalists devolved into a nasty display on Wednesday. Rachel Scott from ABC News front-loaded a series of beefs against the former president - questioning why he was even invited to the forum in Chicago.

Trump, accurately believing he was being attacked, verbally scolded Ms. Scott, causing instant angst.

Somewhere, Kamala Harris was enjoying the display very much.

The scene was almost identical to 2016 when Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly went after Trump for his alleged treatment of women. Very similar outcome and controversy.

Ms. Scott was, of course, playing to her home anti-Trump team. If she was serious in seeking information, she should have asked about situations one at a time.

For example, the Obama fake birth certificate scenario. I'd like to know what Trump thinks about his allegations in hindsight. Legitimate question.

But legitimacy is long gone in corporate media circles. Rachel Scott undoubtedly received a bevy of "high-fives" from her crew, which is what she sought.

As for candidate Trump, well, he gave as good as he got.

He certainly had the right to defend himself. Not sure if he advanced his election cause.

Anita Dunn's Goodbye

2024-07-31T07:00:00Z

Anita Dunn has left the White House. Chances are you don't know who she is, but President Biden has trusted her advice and judgment for years. Upon announcing her departure, she thanked Joe for all he's "done" for the American people.

Standard. I expected that. But it got my analytic mind revved up.

So, what has the Biden administration, featuring VP Kamala, done for me exactly?

First of all, I'm not doing an ego exercise here. I am a hard working, honest American who gives a lot to charity, helps my kids, tries to be a good neighbor. That's my profile. I think I share that with my readers, perhaps even with Anita Dunn.

Let's see. My food and gas bills are up significantly on Joe's watch. Car and house insurance premiums are now officially insane. Social order in New York City, just ten miles away from me, has collapsed.

My taxes are painful and they never end. Despite that, Joe Biden is adding one trillion dollars to the national debt every six months.

Despite the massive government spending, a new report says the U.S. military is not strong enough to sustain a war with China.

Drug addiction is surging on Long Island as Biden's open border assures plenty of fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin to kill people. Dope dealers are considered "low-level" criminals under the current administration.

Only three non-communist nations in the world allow abortions for any reason up until birth. Biden and Harris both support that policy.

Taking all of this into account, I am a bit confused about what Joe Biden has done for me and my countrymen.

Over to you, Anita Dunn.

White Dudes for Harris

2024-07-30T07:00:00Z

"White Dudes for Harris." The latest skin color promotion by Democrats. It's so stupid we have to change the brand.

To White Duds for Harris.

What is this? Why the race stuff? Who gives a whit about complexion when the country is deeply divided over essential governance? Hey, "White Dudes," unless you have something to add other than pigmentation, slink away.

Kamala Harris' rise in the polling is being fueled by women of color and younger Americans who know little about the world.

Think back to when you were 22. It's too painful for me. Big dope is the description I'll cop to.

But as dense as I was, skin color was not a factor for me regarding anything. No West Side Story. No Sharks and Jets. I played on an all-Black baseball team, the Brooklyn Monarchs. Only the manager was white, an older Jewish guy. His advice to a 6'4" right-handed pitcher was straightforward: "Don't walk anybody. We don't like that."

We. The team. Tough, impatient guys. I threw strikes.

Anyway, if you are on the skin color team, you're a moron. Like the dudes. Like the BLMs.

That's it. There's no debate.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

An Anti-Christian Display

2024-07-29T07:00:00Z

The U.S. Olympic men's basketball team looks like a lock for the gold medal. I was glad to see the players are being respectful to their country. I'm a bit worried about head coach Steve Kerr, who has a history of inflammatory political statements. But so far no controversy.

That's not the case with the dopey French Olympic authorities who allowed a blatantly anti-Christian display at the opening ceremony. Some "alternative lifestyle" people posed as Last Supper attendees mocking Jesus and the New Testament.

It goes without saying these clowns would never have insulted Islam in that way or even Judaism, which they likely despise as well.

The explanation from organizers is that the display was an homage to "inclusion."

Sure.

The reason these pagans get away with this kind of stuff is lack of outrage by many Christian leaders. Initially, only Bishop Robert Barron surfaced with condemnation. Where is clerical guidance on attacks like this?

In the Jewish and Muslim precincts, there is an active, organized response to the diminishment of those religions. Not so much on the Christian side. Why not?

The Nazarene, who angrily confronted defilers of the Temple, might not be pleased.

More tonight on the No Spin News.

The Media's Support of Kamala

2024-07-26T07:00:00Z

It is one of the great mysteries of the universe that corporate media companies like Comcast and Disney are so rabid in their support of far-left Democrats. I mean, it doesn't take an MIT graduate to figure out that politicians like Kamala Harris will push to tax corporations to the highest level possible—"Fair share" and all that.

Historically, companies pass on increased costs to consumers but Comcast and Disney can't do that anymore. Cable is the big earner in Comcast world, and millions of Americans are now walking away from paying high prices for dumb cable options. Do we really need to binge-watch the Bayou Channel?

Disney has raised its theme park tickets so high only oligarchs can go. You have to refinance your mortgage to see the Magic Kingdom. Magic Johnson can visit, but working people can't afford it.

Yet, the liberal media loves Kamala Harris, whose giveaway wish list is endless: guaranteed income cash payments, free college tuition, free daycare, paid leave when the baby comes, free health care not only for citizens but for undocumented foreigners, increased food stamps, subsidized housing, on and on and on.

Ca-ching. Ca-ching. Ca-ching.

It's socialism of course so I guess Mickey Mouse will soon be quoting Marx and Engle. Comrade Donald Duck. Power to the people, right on!

Perplexed? So am I. But somehow, below, Fidel is smiling.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

O'Reilly Reacts to Biden's Oval Office Address on NewsNation

2024-07-25T20:00:00Z

Watch my reaction to President Biden's Oval Office address, where he spoke about ending his reelection campaign.

St. Joan of Kamala

2024-07-24T07:00:00Z

As expected, St. Joan of Kamala has taken center stage and admiration is non stop from the Democrats and their media allies. I mean who knew that the border czarina is a world class political scientist with a long resume of success in absolutely everything she has ever done?

Who could have predicted that a Senator who was shut out of legislative victories for her entire four-year tenure was this brilliant and visionary?

Move over James Madison, Kamala is the new viceroy of American perspicacity.

On Tuesday, it looked like CNN's Jake Tapper had swallowed a bug as he introduced a segment alleging some believe the Vice President was a DEI hire. How racist! How sexist! Jake could hardly get the words out.

Of course, skin color and gender had nothing to do with Kamala's elevation, even though Joe Biden promised to put a woman of color on his ticket.

With Whoopi Goldberg apparently unavailable, Kamala got the nod.

But DEI? No way?

Ms. Harris has done little in the past three and a half years but who's counting, right? She is the abortion queen; there's that. But what else?

I don't know. I do know accomplishments do not matter to democrat voters. Opposing Trump is the greatest achievement in the world.

So, the country slouches forward to November. And St. Joan of Kamala has her sword drawn.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Bad Service

2024-07-23T07:00:00Z

The head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, testified in front of the House Oversight Committee on Monday, and she was pathetic, hapless, and embarrassed. Essentially, she pulled a Sgt. Schultz: I know nothing!

I believe her. Another DEI hire bites the dust.

My favorite part of her testimony came when, nine days after the shooting of Donald Trump, she said under oath that she did not know how a 20-year-old with a deadly weapon could climb to a rooftop with line of sight on Mr. Trump without being detected.

SHE ... DID ... NOT ... KNOW.

Then she said they are investigating.

Thanks.

Even Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez was appalled.

Ms. Cheatle should have been suspended the day after the shooting by the man she works for - President Biden. He's the only person who can discipline her.

Biden has done nothing. Surprised? Of course not. The President is completely disengaged from reality.

Ms. Cheatle will soon " resign" along with some other Service supervisors who screwed up beyond belief.

The whole thing is an example of how America is a far weaker country now that race and gender are more important than proficiency and experience in hiring. Woke is dangerous, and this proves it.

Indeed, Donald Trump is lucky to be alive.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Joe Biden Drops Out

2024-07-22T07:00:00Z

Bill O'Reilly delivers a special Sunday report, reacting to the news that President Joe Biden is dropping out of his race to be reelected President. Vice President Kamala Harris now takes the reins of the Democratic Party as she likely faces Donald Trump in November.

Biden's Departure

2024-07-19T07:00:00Z

The following is not my reporting, but I believe it has some validity. President Biden will soon announce he will withdraw from the presidential race. He and his advisers are discussing when he will address the nation. Mr. Biden has Covid and that has to subside before the address.

The President will call for an "open" Democratic convention in August. He will not endorse anyone during his announcement.

Mr. Biden will stay in office until next January.

Historian and committed democrat Jon Meacham is crafting Biden's address according to political reporter Mark Halperin.

Kamala Harris is already vetting possible running mates and, as I reported yesterday, Kentucky Governor Andrew Beshear tops her list.

Your humble correspondent predicted this turn of events in November 2023. I based my analysis on Joe Biden's declining mental health. At age 81, that is not going to improve.

At this point, our independent news organization based on this website has out reported and out analyzed every corporate media company in the country.

We are glad you are with us. More over the weekend.

Visiting Jon Stewart

2024-07-17T07:00:00Z

Thought I was in a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show doing the "Time Warp." Yesterday, I once again met my old debating partner, Jon Stewart, on his home field: The Daily Show.

This came together quickly to show the country that political discourse can actually be fun. It doesn't have to be hateful. The banter was quick and pithy; the mostly young studio audience seemed to enjoy it.

That rarely happens anymore because it requires talent and discipline to conduct a discourse without using the f-word and references to The Third Reich. Cheap invective is easy; concise framing of your points is not.

America is awash with media haters who want to harm their political opponents, not best them using facts. We have become a mean country with massive assistance from social media. Cowards now can throw vicious rhetorical bombs without consequence.

Stewart and I conducted a clinic Tuesday night. It's a display well worth watching.
Anger always makes things worse. Humor does the exact opposite.

I'll play you some clips on this evening's No Spin News.

Leaving the Race

2024-07-17T07:00:00Z

So, now, Senator Chuck Schumer has told President Biden he has to pack it in. And Joe will, he has no choice. Schumer would never do what he did without Democratic Party backing.

The heavy odds are Vice President Harris will be Donald Trump's opponent. Political contributions dictate that as well as demographic concerns. But Trump supporters should not get cocky. The Dem machine remains powerful, with most corporate media allied with that party.

Despite the shooting, the media will continue hating Trump.

As you may know, I told you Mr. Biden would not be the nominee. That was almost a year ago. History dictated my analysis. Not only is the President too old, he has performed dismally - he has few enthusiastic supporters. Those who say they will vote for him are overwhelmingly doing that because they despise the Don.

On we go. Trump vs. Kamala. What an interesting time in our history.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

A Tale as Old as Joe

2024-07-16T18:06:00Z

Today's message is actually Sunday's column, which was preempted by the Trump shooting. It's about President Biden's political problems with his own party. It's an interesting piece of history, and I hope you enjoy reading it.

Anonymous sources are bad. They allow journalists to report agenda-driven stories and individuals to attack others while hiding under a dark cloak. The media makes millions of dollars peddling shadowy, unverifiable negative stories and it's not about to stop doing it.

We don't report things unless we can publicly source the material. You want to accuse Biden and Trump of stuff - put your name on it.

It is true, however, that some events cannot be publicly verified because those involved are too afraid of reprisals. Lives can be disrupted. Watergate is the best example of that.

So, sometimes, a responsible journalist must weave a "tale", putting forth information while not claiming infallibility. Such a scenario is now submitted for your consideration.

It is Friday, June 28, and leaders of the Democratic Party are panicking. President Biden has just come off the worst debate performance in modern times, and snap polls show a further deterioration of support. There is no amount of spin that can counter this.

Former President Barack Obama is taking calls. He does not say much, well understanding that any anti-Biden comments will likely be anonymously leaked to the press.

Very few human beings can get to Mr. Obama directly. CNN pundit David Axelrod can. Former Biden chief-of-staff Ron Klain has his cell number, as do a few major Democrat donors who are generously contributing to his presidential library in Chicago. If you want to speak to the former President, you have to go through his "people," as George Clooney did when seeking permission to put his name on an anti-Biden article solicited by The New York Times.

There is no disagreement about President Biden's status among powerful Dems: he is in danger of losing to Donald Trump. Thus, he must quit the race as soon as possible. Barack Obama despises Trump and will not allow a MAGA victory.

The New York Times feels the same way and immediately ramps up a whirlwind of "Joe must go" coverage that includes Clooney.

Nobody consults with Jill Biden.

That is a mistake.

The current White House chief-of-staff, Jeff Zients, is working 15 hour days trying to do damage control. It is not working. In addition to the Obama people, the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party has also concluded Biden will lose to Trump.

James Carville, a top Clinton confidant, stridently delivers that message on television. Liberal media pundits get the picture: Biden's base is disappearing.

But the President doesn't need a base to continue his campaign. He's got the delegates locked down.

First Lady Jill understands this. She told her husband immediately after the debate debacle that he did great. That is exactly what the shaky President wanted to hear.

Joe Biden is totally dependent on his wife. Often, he is disoriented in private. Access to him is limited to a few advisers and family members. Jill Biden is the gatekeeper and also must approve his public schedule.

President Biden will not get better. Right now, his situation is a standoff because of Jill's intransigence. But, soon, the President's position is likely to become untenable as he is having trouble functioning day-to-day.

Vice President Harris is quietly being prepped for the Democratic Convention in August. It is unclear if Jill Biden knows this.

The Rolling Stones once sang, "Time is on my side." You will not hear that song in the White House.

Trump's VP Pick

2024-07-15T23:34:00Z

Senator JD Vance is an interesting guy. Traditional conservative, Marine Corps vet, Yale Law School, Catholic convert, author/journalist, business guy.

I'm almost short of breath writing this.

As Donald Trump's VP selection, Vance will immediately be lionized by Republicans and attacked by liberal Democrats. Not sure if personal mud will be thrown so close to the shooting, but won't be surprised.

As far as votes are concerned, doesn't seem like the Ohio guy will move that needle. However, he'll give Kamala Harris some jazz in the debate, certainly.

I don't know Vance but he's not boring. In fact the Trump/Vance ticket might be liveliest in history. Looks like Republicans are going for MAGA domination here.

Don't think The New York Times or NBC News will approve, and, perhaps, that is why Trump selected Vance. One phrase: In your face.

I'll be discussing Vance and Trump tonight on NewsNation at 7 and 8:20 Eastern.

Congratulations to the Senator from Ohio and his family.

Trump Rally Aftermath

2024-07-15T07:00:00Z

The Trump shooting will lead to a bevy of unintended consequences. Here are a few of them. President Biden will get a reprieve from his party trying to remove him from the ticket. Before Saturday night, Biden was under siege. Now, his detractors have to halt the assault until the shocking situation dies down a bit.

Mr. Biden's political future, however, remains in jeopardy.

The head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, is finished. She will have to resign. Security at the Trump rally was terrible. Agents in charge in Pennsylvania will also pay a price.

The hate brigades are quickly retreating, but we know who they are and who is paying them. We'll continue our expose on tonight's No Spin News. President Trump has been mercilessly attacked for almost nine years. The American people must demand accountability here.

Finally, Donald Trump has a huge opportunity to blunt the January 6 situation that continues to haunt him. If he calls for the moderation of hate speech by all in his acceptance speech on Thursday, he will score big.

See you for the No Spin News this evening. It will be historic.

BREAKING NEWS: ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT OF DONALD TRUMP

2024-07-14T02:19:00Z

We will be on the air on BillOReilly.com shortly. Stand by.

Looks like Donald Trump is okay. We are putting together a special report so please stay close to BillOReilly.com.

Here's the latest. Innocent bystander dead. Shooter dead. President Trump okay but hospitalized in Pennsylvania.

The would be assassin fired from the top of a building outside the rally venue. One spectator confirmed dead, one injured and at a hospital.

Biden's Press Conference

2024-07-13T03:59:00Z

Stupefying. That's the best description of President Biden's press conference. The press asked largely unfocused questions, and Mr. Biden wandered all over the place, at one point saying Trump was his Vice President.

That was after the President introduced Volodymyr Zelensky as Putin before the presser began.

At this point, any American who still supports the President is harming their family and the country.

Over and over again, we heard the phrases "by the way" and "guess what." That indicates the President is reciting, not thinking. He pretty much said nothing. I learned nothing in one hour. Nada. Zero.

Did you?

Biden says he's following the advice of his "commander in chief." He is the commander in chief. #bidenpressconference #NoSpin
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) July 11, 2024

President Biden stumbled a bit but that's not important. He cannot do the job. Period. Everything that his administration has done wrong is Trump's fault. Predictable.

But the headline is how absolutely terrible the Washington press corps is. What a debacle. I urge you to watch the questions that should have been asked on this website. I have never seen such journalistic incompetence.

New column on Sunday dealing with the election.

Clooney Turns on Biden

2024-07-11T13:47:00Z

George Clooney has had an epiphany—perhaps. The 63-year-old leftist actor is one of the most reliable liberals in Hollywood. He has never seen a big government program he didn't like and is actively involved in fundraising and donating to liberal causes, as he did a few weeks ago in Hollywood. Clooney's party brought in $28 million for Joe Biden's campaign.

But now George does not believe that was money well spent. Refunds? He writes in The New York Times that the President is too old and feeble to beat Trump. Thus, Joe should withdraw.

So how did this happen, logistically? Clooney does not do much political writing. Did he suddenly pen the essay and send it off to the Times?

Probably not.

More likely, the newspaper solicited him. That's because The Times has editorialized twice that Joe must go and wants to continue the pressure. Clooney represents the big donor Hollywood crowd the President needs.

Chances are George checked with close friend Barack Obama before he agreed to pull a Brutus on Joe and write the article. Obama headlined Clooney's recent fundraiser but now also believes Biden will lose to Trump. The former President was last seen gently leading the current President off stage to a safe space.

Poor Joe Biden. He's now left with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jill. The Casamigos are fleeing. It's all so tragic.

And Kamala is throwing in the bullpen.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden's Big Test

2024-07-10T07:00:00Z

President Biden delivered welcoming remarks to the NATO leaders in a scalding hot DC yesterday and got through the script without trouble. But Mr. Biden looked very angry as he gave his speech. Usually, opening remarks are neutral, but the President seemed teed off.

Maybe it was the Putin situation.

Mr. Biden's big test comes Thursday when he's supposed to hold a solo press conference. No teleprompter there. Very high stakes. If the President fumbles around, he'll have to withdraw from the race almost immediately.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump held a rally with Senator Marco Rubio by his side. I predicted Rubio would be the VP selection earlier this week on NewsNation. Just a guess based on voter demographics. Trump is making deep inroads in Hispanic communities and will win the election if that continues.

So it's another manic Wednesday as the Bangles almost sang (it was Monday).

Thursday will be very big for America.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

A New Media World

2024-07-09T07:00:00Z

When I departed Fox News in April 2017, the O'Reilly Factor ended with a record quarter, according to the Nielsen ratings people. So, my goal was to carry our "no spin" philosophy into a new arena that would eventually compete with the media corporations. I knew that would be difficult.

But, thanks to Joe Biden, we have accomplished our initial goal. The No Spin News has put up astonishing numbers since the debate on June 27. More than three million viewers saw our analysis on YouTube alone. In addition, hundreds of thousands caught us on The First TV, DirecTV and our other video distributors. Hundred of thousands also hear us in syndication on the radio.

Finally, our broadcast is now worldwide, but that audience is impossible to estimate.

Also, my comments on X about the debate and Biden's fortunes secured nearly ten million impressions.

It's a new media world. Many news consumers now understand that corporations have agendas and propaganda masquerading as news can be profitable. So, they are looking elsewhere for honest appraisals.

We are beyond thankful they have found us.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Democrats Divided

2024-07-08T07:00:00Z

Fifty years ago, everybody was "Kung Fu fighting." According to singer Carl Douglas, "it was a little bit frightening."

Today, the Kung Fu is gone but the fighting remains. We are in the middle of one of the most fractious presidential races in history.

It's not just the usual Democrat-Republican brawl. With rapidly aging Joe Biden as president, Dems have turned against other Dems.

The Biden loyalists are okay with the big guy despite constant cognitive embarrassments. There are many reasons for this - none of them cogent.

It's all about emotion, not reality. President Biden is not well and is declining before our eyes. Fact. And many Democrats understand the implications of that fact. So, they are fighting their own compatriots over the nomination going forward.

The Biden loyalists will most likely lose. The Obama wing of the Democratic Party, which wants Joe out, has more power. The holdup is Jill Biden who wants to keep her power. Joe does what Jill tells him to do.

The fight will peak sometime soon as the liberal media turns on Joe and Jill. The same people who enthusiastically covered for Mr. Biden are turning on him in order to save themselves from exposure.

It's a fascinating exposition of power, corruption, and selfishness.

And more than a little bit frightening.

See you this evening for an explosive No Spin News.

Biden's ABC News Interview

2024-07-06T15:57:00Z

President Biden believes what he wants to believe. But outside of Jill Biden and a relatively few other diehard supporters, the country now understands Joe is not living in the real world.

The President only sat with ABC's George Stephanopolous for 22 minutes on Friday. Why the short time? This was the most important interview of his life by far. Why the truncated chat? Did Biden have something else to do?

During the interview he denied the poll numbers were correct, said there is absolutely nothing wrong with him, and refused to undergo cognitive testing to allay the fears of the nation.

He looked frail, spoke softly, carried no stick. Soon, there may be a cane.

Sorry to be cynical but the man is off the chart dangerous. He cannot run the country. All perceptive Americans know it.

But President Joe doesn't know it. He denies all. He wants to believe he's Teddy Roosevelt living a vigorous life.

Instead, he's Franklin Roosevelt, a drastically infirmed Presidential candidate in 1944. But, back then, the American people did not understand FDR's soon-fatal condition.

Now, Joe Biden's status is undeniable. He's done.

See you Monday for the most incisive news analysis anywhere.

Is the President Senile?

2024-07-03T07:00:00Z

So Karine Jean-Pierre got pounded Tuesday when the usually moribund White House press corps were embarrassed into asking questions about President Biden's obvious mental decline. Of course, those queries should have been asked months ago.

The press doesn't know exactly what to do now that Joe's cover has been blown. So, they asked perceptive questions like, is the President senile?

To which Ms. Karine replied, "No."

Well, I guess that's that.

The ever-loyal Jean-Pierre also pointed out that her boss had a cold during the debate.

Whereupon Jon Lovitz bellowed: that's the ticket!

One reporter asked Karine, soon to be 50, "Why doesn't the President just walk out here and take questions? He's right around the corner."

Karine had no answer but looked sad. She knows her boss is incapable of answering questions that are more complicated than "What flavor of ice cream do you want?"

President Warren Harding may have been senile in the early 1920s but it was tough to tell because the gentleman from Ohio was never swift to begin with. Ronald Reagan began to fail in 1987, but he was on the way out and Nancy would hit you with a pot if you mentioned anything.

But now President Biden is asking Americans to put him back into office for another four years.

Talk about senile.

Enjoy the Fourth of July.

What Should Trump Do?

2024-07-02T07:00:00Z

With the Democratic Party in disarray, Donald Trump should take advantage of the situation by doing... nothing. Let historical events unfold. The Dems don't need help. They are sinking quickly on their own.

Mr. Trump should go to Scotland to play golf on his fine course there. Or, he should go to a spa in New Zealand. Perhaps visit the beautiful country of Bhutan.

A galaxy far, far away is even better.

When your enemies are defeating themselves, allow them. In other words, don't do anything to distract the destruction.

For years, the unholy liberal-media alliance has misled the world about President Joe. His accumulation of power was always an anti-Trump play. Jill, Hunter, and the family stone have emotion invested. Almost no one else does.

The truth is that Joe Biden is a presidential accident in addition to being a disaster. He's a guy who received 80 million plus votes most of which were protesting Don, not supporting Joe.

So now reality has intruded, and the weak president is unmasked. It's an avalanche. More snow isn't needed.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden's Next Move

2024-07-01T14:37:00Z

Because we don't use anonymous sources, I cannot confirm the following as fact but I believe it's true. Right now, President Biden is emulating President Nixon at the end of the Watergate mess trying to hold on to his job.

But, like Nixon, he will fail.

Powerful voices inside the Democratic Party understand that the President cannot win reelection. If he stays in the race, the Democrats may well lose the Senate. Already, they are assured of being defeated for House seats.

Joe Biden received more than 80 million votes in 2020. In November, he'd be fortunate to get half that number.

Democratic fundraising will soon collapse in the wake of Biden's debate debacle. So, he has to go. But how?

That's the intense internal debate right now, so to speak. There is no "slide-in" candidate to replace Joe. Kamala wants it, so do Governors Newsom and Pritzker of Illinois. All are far left zealots with little chance to defeat Donald Trump.

Michelle Obama could, but she's a mystery.

Expect this. Sometime soon, President Biden will step aside as President Johnson did in 1968. Vietnam got him. But first, the K Street Democrats in DC have to quietly float replacement names with the top liberal media moguls. Something as monumental as this is not done spontaneously. The liberal media and Hollywood money people will have input.

What is absolutely certain is that Joe Biden is finished as a powerful man. Shortly, he will have to go quietly into the night, pretty much dragging Jill Biden with him.

See you this evening for a powerful No Spin News.

My Debate Assessment

2024-06-28T07:00:00Z

Let's keep it simple. Trump waxed Biden in the debate largely because the President fumbled around and his voice was raspy. That presentation is now indelible in the minds of American voters.

Even the crazed progressive network MSNBC had to admit their guy Biden did not perform well.

We'll have very specific analysis on a special No Spin News this evening, but here are some facts. Biden and Trump despise each other; no handshake, loathing apparent. Biden had no cogent answer on the border madness, instead concentrating on stuff like child health care.

Trump hammered Biden for the border failure and successfully marginalized him.

Closing statements were pedestrian, the two did not soar. However, by that time the deal was sealed. Joe Biden is not fit to continue in office. He may be through.

Best analysis on the No Spin News this evening. Will be quite the broadcast.

See you then.

Tonight's Debate Moderators

2024-06-27T14:56:00Z

Many pro-Trump supporters are complaining bitterly about tonight's CNN debate moderators Dana Bash and Jake Tapper. There is angst and loathing all over the place.

In fact, a Trump spokesperson attacked the two earlier this week on CNN itself. And got booted off the air for her effort.

So, is the criticism directed at Bash and Tapper fair? Yes, it is. We have investigated their posture towards Donald Trump, and the bias is undeniable.

Two examples, and I could cite twenty.

December, 2021. Jake Tapper says this: "Trump once said quote, 'I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose voters.' He did try to kill democracy once. And he's going to try to do it again, clearly.'"

Sure. Stormtroopers and the whole thing. This is the liberal line. Tapper nurtures and embraces it with gusto.

January, 2021. Dana Bash, allegedly a REPORTER, she's very huffy. "In his farewell video President Trump takes credit for no new wars - except that he is sitting in a Washington fortified with tens of thousands of national guard troops trying to keep it safe from violence he incited."

Very definitive from the aptly named Ms. Bash. Problem. Special Counsel Jack Smith could have charged Trump with inciting violence, insurrection, or a variety of other heinous crimes. He did not.

Perhaps Dana Bash should be Special Counsel as she absolutely knows a terrible crime was committed.

So there you go. A vivid example of fact-based analysis on the debate moderators. Send it to CNN.

Trump's Debate Line

2024-06-26T07:00:00Z

Ronald Reagan's handlers came up with a brilliant line in his 1980 debate with President Carter. The sentence was simple and clear to the American people: "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?"

That one line sealed Jimmy Carter's fate; he had no come back because his administration was disastrous.

Similar situation in 2024. The incumbent Biden is in big trouble.

So, Donald Trump needs such a line during Thursday's debate. He needs a pithy, factual statement. I think I have it.

Somewhere towards the end of the bloviating, when the debate tone has been set, Trump needs to look directly into the camera and say: "I love my country. I wouldn't be doing this if I did not. I realize some Americans don't like me. I understand. But my four years in office strengthened our country, most Americans benefited. And we'll do that again if I can earn your vote. I promise."

That's it. Sincere, even humble. To the point. No bluster. No negatives. Otherwise, Trump can hammer Biden all throughout the debate. But for that one moment, he speaks directly to every citizen in a very personal way.

It's a winner. Ronald Reagan would approve. The Trump haters will gnash their teeth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Clash on CNN

2024-06-25T07:00:00Z

On NewsNation last night, I explained how CNN lost a major opportunity to get some desperately needed viewer attention when anchorwoman Kasie Hunt and Trump surrogate Karoline Leavitt began to shoot it out on air.

Ms. Hunt objected to Ms. Leavitt trashing the upcoming debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash and booted Karoline when she wouldn't cease. Big mistake. She should have said: "Hey, you agreed to the debate with us; why are you whining about it now?"

To which Ms. Leavitt could have replied: "Donald Trump isn't afraid of CNN, he'd just like to know why Tapper has assassinated his character time and again."

If Ms. Hunter challenged that, the Trump spokesperson could have pulled out dozens of hateful Tapper quotes.

Now, that's how we have done things for nearly 28 years and had unprecedented success. Americans aren't wimps - they like a good joust.

But today, many TV people are frightened, timid, and more comfortable with company-issued talking points than thinking on the fly. Essentially, these meek news presenters are boring.

Passion, daring, and honesty gets attention. Taking the ball and going home does not.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The World is Watching

2024-06-24T14:38:00Z

The world is watching. The American presidential campaign. With so many threats afoot, pretty much everyone will be affected by our November vote.

According to a Pew Research Center study, President Biden is more popular internationally than Donald Trump. The Pew people polled 34 nations and found 43 percent of them have confidence that Mr. Biden will do the right thing, while just 23 percent say Trump has the better outlook.

Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden support Biden the most, while Hungary and Tunisia like Trump considerably more than Biden.

Not sure about the Tunisia results. Does Trump remind those people of Hannibal?

Anyway, there are two major reasons for the data. First, most countries don't give a fig about the madness on the U.S/Mexico border and they don't care what we are paying for bananas. They do care about climate change.

Not a priority for the Don.

Secondly, like the USA, European media veers sharply left. Since the end of the Cold War, this has intensified.

What's confusing is that President Trump largely kept the peace during his four years in office but President Biden is looking at massive violence and confrontation from the South China Sea to Ukraine.

But I'm being logical here and that is no longer a political plus. Now, it's all emotion.

How do you say "you're crazy" in Swedish?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Soft on Crime

2024-06-21T10:16:00Z

If you support President Biden's reelection, you are certifying the progressive agenda, which champions social disorder. In New York City, which is in steep decline under progressive authority, the unbelievably irresponsible District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, is dropping almost all charges against the destructive demonstrators who ran riot on campus a few weeks ago.

No one is surprised.

So, what does old Joe think about the nationwide trend of not punishing criminals?

We'll never know because the President does not answer questions. He simply does what his far-left handlers tell him to do and then takes a nap.

As I write this message, the President is at Camp David with four committed leftist advisors, trying to memorize what he will say this coming Thursday. Not that he'll answer specific questions that are posed by the debate moderators. He won't. He recites whatever he's been told if he can remember what he's been told.

A Russian comedian once used this phrase as a tagline: "What a country!"

You said it, comrade.

New column Sunday morning.

Debate Preview

2024-06-20T07:00:00Z

Few presidential debates have changed the course of history, but next week, the Biden-Trump "lip off" could.

In 1960, Vice President Nixon lost a debate to Senator John Kennedy because of optics; Nixon looked jumpy and sweaty. JFK was cool and calm. That ended eight years of Republican power.

Next week, a feeble President Biden will engage an unpredictable Donald Trump. The nation will be watching more than listening. Everyone knows Biden governs to the far left and Trump to the right. Nothing they SAY will change that.

But the exposition will test Biden's stamina and ability to articulate. Should he falter badly, I believe he will be forced by his own party to retire, opening the nomination to another Democrat not named Kamala.

When the display is over, both sides will claim victory. That's what always happens. A draw is a Biden win. The good news is the folks at home, as they say, will make the call, not the pro-left media.

The post-debate polling will be interesting to see. And possibly decisive in this race.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Politics Above National Security

2024-06-19T07:00:00Z

Here's how insane our political system has become under Joe Biden. The head of the FBI, Christopher Wray, is publicly warning that a terror attack is very possible. We could be hit with violence at any time.

But the President of the United States will not address the issue because of his open border policy. Wray believes Biden's failure to enforce immigration law is making it easier for the terror killers.

Writing this month in the journal "Foreign Affairs," former CIA assistant director Mike Morell and Dean Graham Allison of Harvard illuminate Wray's warning. Here's a quote.

"The FBI director has also highlighted a specific security vulnerability. In December, Wray warned the Senate Judiciary Committee that foreign terrorists have the ability to exploit any point of entry, including our southwest border."

And, indeed, eight men with ties to ISIS were arrested last week. They all came across the porous border.

Have you heard the President address this issue in any meaningful way? You have not. He is putting politics above national security.

What say you George Clooney and your foolish show biz pals?

Finally, keep a focus on the Olympics in France. Very high value target.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

A Cheap Fake

2024-06-18T13:46:00Z

The White House is very annoyed that some Americans believe the President is over the hill. In fact, he might not even know a hill is involved. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is saying all the hysteria falls under the "cheap fake" banner.

So what's that?

A cheap fake is an altered video. Some dishonest person uses technology to make a video appear real, when it's actually falsely edited.

President Biden's people say this is what's happening to him.

To some extent, the accusation is probably accurate. But cheap fakes really are not necessary in Joe's case. He's having trouble due to his age. Nothing fake about it.

If President Biden is reelected, the United States will be altered forever. The heavy odds are the President will not complete a second term, so Kamala Harris would become President.

She is far more alert than Biden but totally unqualified to run the country. Just look at her border resume. Remember, Joe put her in charge of figuring things out down there.

I guess she's still working on it.

Summing up, the Biden opposition doesn't need to fake anything. The President is not succeeding and things will get worse.

Can the fake. Embrace the reality.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Witnessing the President's Decline

2024-06-17T14:47:00Z

With a ferocity rarely displayed, the White House is counterattacking folks who allege Barack Obama helped President Biden get off the stage at a celebrity benefit Saturday night. The video seems to show that but it's a distant shot so there's some doubt if you are a fair-minded person.

The New York Post, which has become Mr. Biden's primary tormentor, is flashing the story, causing the President's spokespeople to criticize the paper in very personal ways. It's a political food fight, no question.

But I'm a bit perplexed. There is no doubt that Joe Biden has become a wanderer. Dion once sang about that, and maybe Joe is acting out the song. But, come on, if the White House is going to deny the President is, at times, flummoxed, it will lose that battle.

We all are witnessing the President's decline.

Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered, Joe Biden entered his personal twilight zone years ago. All honest people know that. But Joe toes the progressive line, and that's what matters most to the political left. Problem-solving ability is not important to them. Ideology is. Mr. Biden does what he is directed to do.

Barack Obama certainly directed him off that stage. What's the cliche? Oh, yeah. A picture is worth a thousand words.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Handshake

2024-06-14T15:23:00Z

The left-wing press, nearly all of it in the USA, is having a grand time mocking Senator Mitch McConnell for shaking Donald Trump's hand on Capitol Hill Thursday.

McConnell, you may remember, castigated then-President Trump after the January 6 debacle. Trump, in turn, said harsh things about the Senator and his wife, former Labor and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

Now, I am not a fan of Mitch McConnell. He killed "Kate's Law," which would have saved thousands of Americans from harm. He did that single-handedly by refusing to put the proposed legislation up for a stand-alone vote. That law, essentially designed by me, would have codified mandatory prison sentences for migrants who return to the United States after being deported.

McConnell killed it because he didn't want a punk like me telling him what to do.

However, I understand the handshake with Trump. The Republican Party MUST coalesce around the nominee or Biden and the Democrats will get four more years of power. That would be a situation from which the country might never recover. That's how bad President Biden is.

So, McConnell is putting the good of his country above his personal feelings. Applause. I just wish he had done that in the wake of Kate Steinle's murder.

Happy Father's Day to all the good dads.

Executive Privilege Debate

2024-06-13T14:46:00Z

If you have a few moments, check out my debate with Chris Cuomo last night over Executive Privilege. We've posted it on the site for your convenience.

In short, Cuomo is trying to portray me as a hypocrite for supporting President Trump's blocking the release of the full Mueller Report transcript, while I am criticizing President Biden's assertion of privilege for refusing to release the video of his interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.

Cuomo has to know the two situations are not even remotely similar.

Trump was not charged by Mueller in the phony Russian Collusion case. But, Mueller took some opinionated shots at the Don inside the written report. Trump did not want those criticisms made public.

Hur told the nation that he did not charge Biden for illegally having classified documents in his garage partially because he believes the President is so befuddled and mentally confused, no jury would convict him.

Okay, let's see if Hur's assessment is correct. Reading a transcript and seeing video tape are two vastly different things.

But the real insult here is the issue of a presidential election. Voters should actually see their President under pressure so they can evaluate his mental state for themselves. This is extremely important and far beyond any opinion Robert Mueller might have offered.

But Joe Biden does not want Americans to see the video. And Chris Cuomo as well as millions of Democrats are fine with that.

Well, I'm not. Way too much at stake with Biden's mental state. We the people, should be able to decide for ourselves based on video evidence.

Let me know what you think: Bill@BillOReilly.com

One Big Mess

2024-06-12T07:00:00Z

There's an interesting and relevant parallel between how Joe Biden runs the country and supervises his family. He is the Biden patriarch as well as the President, and his decision-making is strange in both situations.

Hunter Biden never should have gone to trial. The evidence that he illegally bought a handgun is overwhelming. His defense was, "I'm a drug addict; you can't hold me responsible."

Hunter and his hapless but very expensive lawyers could and should have copped a plea and taken the light sentence he'll get in September without all the frenzy.

Instead, he allows federal prosecutors to embarrass him and his family; his former girlfriend even says Hunter led her into crack addiction. Nice.

Joe Biden should have insisted his son back off and plead guilty because he is guilty. Now, the President says Hunter might appeal. Appeal what? The evidence is overwhelming.

So what can Joe Biden possibly be thinking? I don't know. At this point, is he capable of thinking at all? Again, I don't know.

But I do know this. The Biden family collective resume has not been enhanced. Hunter is the only child of a president in office, ever to be convicted of a crime.

The whole thing is one big mess, just like the country.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Hunter Biden's Gun Trial

2024-06-11T13:52:00Z

The illegal gun trial of Hunter Biden should never have happened. Biden could have pleaded guilty and accepted the slap on the wrist. A plea would have saved the Biden family much embarrassment.

But wait, the Bidens don't seem to be embarrassed at all. They are proud of Hunter for kicking his substance addiction. They are compassionate people, you see.

Well, from what I can see, the compassion is misplaced. I don't buy the addiction excuse where a "disease" is responsible for hurting others, not you. Court testimony spotlighted a variety of destructive acts committed by Hunter, including helping his girlfriend become addicted to crack cocaine.

Hunter Biden also has a five-year-old daughter who he totally ignores even though he's sober now.

Hard to be proud of that.

Hunter's lawyers are obviously promoting the substance abuse excuse. Don't blame the addict for crimes; blame his "condition."

Nonsense. Intoxicated people do heavy damage to society and they should pay a price for that. Rehab is a positive, but it shouldn't void criminal behavior.

The drug devil didn't make Hunter Biden do anything. He is completely responsible. And a sane society would hold him accountable.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The European Elections

2024-06-10T07:00:00Z

The Associated Press is sadly reporting that "far right" political parties have made huge gains in the European Union elections, which ended Sunday.

The wire service lamenting that left-leaning governments in Germany and France are rapidly losing power. Smaller countries like The Netherlands are following the trend.

As usual, the AP is not reporting accurately. It isn't political ideology at issue; it's two vital situations: migration and taxation.

As in the USA, most European nations have been overrun by migrants. They primarily come from Africa and the Middle East and are competing for limited resources in these semi-socialist economies where government entitlements are now at the breaking point.

That, of course, leads to higher personal taxation. Add the enormous spending to combat climate change, and European workers are watching take-home pay dwindle.

Liberal governments never stop spending, but conservative representatives often do. That's what is happening in Europe.

There are some far-right loons on the continent just as there are here. But not nearly enough to bring down establishment liberal parties.

No, it's the regular folks who are fed up with insane immigration policies and out-of-control climate spending.

And I suspect we will see the same thing in America come next November.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The USA is in Trouble

2024-06-07T13:52:00Z

Some conservative websites are criticizing President Biden for his behavior at the D-Day ceremonies. There is video of Biden trying to sit when dignitaries are standing and then being hustled away by Jill Biden while French President Macron energetically shakes hands with elderly American vets.

Macron is 46 years old and vibrant, so it's no surprise that he was far more engaging than the 81-year-old Biden. Therefore, it seems to me that the anti-Biden cadres are being unfair here.

What is fair to assess and vitally important is President Biden's obvious mental and physical decline. It is getting worse, and a few cupcake interviews with sympathetic media cannot mask that.

Honest people know Joe Biden cannot run the federal government and four more years of incompetence and confusion will harm every single American citizen.

Sadly, perhaps tragically, millions of Americans will still vote for Biden because they despise Trump. If Joe wins again, our now declining nation will free fall.

That's the truth. And it's worth pondering. The USA is in trouble. Deep.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Who Will Step Up?

2024-06-06T13:47:00Z

Pressure is building on President Biden to leave the race, allowing an open Democratic Convention in August. Recent articles in the Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine make it quite clear the president's cognitive problems are getting worse.

Based on his public appearances, I believe that's true. I mean did you see him walk off the stage after the border announcement this week? Slower steps would have been impossible.

If Mr. Biden falters during the June 27 debate with Donald Trump, he will have to step aside.

Then the question becomes, who will step up? Vice-President Harris will try, but voters believe she is more incompetent than Biden, according to the polls. Cheerleading abortion is not going to save Kamala, who has done absolutely nothing to distinguish herself. She's a female, Andrew Johnson.

You may have to look him up.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has caused a colossal mess in his state and would be easy for Trump to beat. Who's left? Pete Buttigieg?

No. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is next. Keep your eye on her if old Joe shuffles out.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Concerns Over Biden

2024-06-05T07:00:00Z

President Biden looked pretty shaky at the podium on Tuesday while explaining his Executive Order limiting border intrusions.

The order won't work, but that's not what bothers this correspondent because I had no expectations that it would.

What is of great concern is the President himself. He slurred his words, talked too quickly without pausing for emphasis, and stared at the teleprompter so hard I thought his eyes would glow.

Leaving the stage, he walked like a toddler.

As for Mr. Biden's border play, it's an obvious campaign thing. For years, he told the nation that he could not regulate the border without congressional approval. Then, presto, he regulates the border without congressional approval.

The truth is the progressives who control Biden don't want any inhibitions on immigration. We saw that Tuesday when the ACLU, now a socialist outfit, immediately filed a lawsuit to block Biden's EO.

The reason the far left wants unfettered immigration is to destroy the so-called "white patriarchy." That's white male domination of power. The quickest way to damage that is to flood the USA with foreign nationals who may vote liberal down the road.

In his current mental state, President Biden most likely doesn't understand the big picture but dutifully does what he is told to do.

Finally, taking action on the open border is an act of political desperation for the White House. And I don't believe it will work as a policy or a vote-getter.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Reality is Calling

2024-06-04T07:00:00Z

As Americans slide into summer, many are deeply troubled by the power structure in Washington and some state capitals. The essential problem is change for the worse.

A decade ago, it would have been unthinkable for any elected official to open the southern border, champion grievance among minorities, promote trans participation in women's sports, and tout the nobility of unfettered abortion.

But today, the Democratic Party and its standard bearer, Joe Biden, promote all of those things and many other far-left policies as well.

And Biden might well be reelected.

If that happens, the steep decline the nation is experiencing will accelerate. The Wall Street Journal warns this week that the US military is rapidly weakening in the face of serious threats from Russia and China. President Biden is MIA on that situation as he is on most issues.

This is not a partisan analysis. It is a warning. According to polling, almost half of American adults are willing to go for Joe. Yes, Trump hatred plays into that, but more Joe is a disaster lock.

Don't want to scare anyone. But reality is calling. We'll see if the folks answer.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Late-Term Abortion

2024-06-03T13:46:00Z

It was interesting to see First Lady Jill Biden say the upcoming presidential vote is about good and evil and, of course, her husband represents good. Dr. Biden firmly believes that not because she has evidence on the subjective statement, but because she derives personal benefit from believing it.

So allow me to point out a great evil that both Bidens embrace: late-term abortion.

China, Russia, Canada, and Spain support no restrictions on destroying the fetus. In the United States, most places do provide protections after fetal viability. But President Biden opposes any constraints whatsoever.

Evil? I think so. In order to terminate a pregnancy after 24 weeks, the fetus must be dismembered in the womb using sharp instruments. The fetus feels pain.

The gruesome practice can be justified if the mother's life is in danger or there is catastrophic damage to the fetus itself.

Absent that, it should NOT be accepted in any moral society.

A few months ago, Sean Hannity asked California Governor Gavin Newsom if he supports any restrictions on abortion. Newsom danced but finally admitted he does not. Eight states allow abortion at anytime for any reason.

It goes against Christian doctrine to individually judge the Bidens' and Kamala Harris for their aggressive promotion of all abortion procedures. No Bill Clinton pronouncement that abortion should be "rare" for them.

And on the evil front, I can say this: if there is a judgment day, I wouldn't want to be them.

The Trump Verdict

2024-05-31T14:29:00Z

The Trump verdict is a huge setback for America. My analysis spotlights why. Here are the top ten points I feel are most important.

The verdict is the verdict. Nothing anybody can do about it.
Trump's lawyers will appeal. Sentencing is July 11th.
Judge Merchan is probably not going to do anything outrageous in the sentencing.
If the sentence is draconian and prevents Trump from campaigning, it's going to go right to the Supreme Court.
I'm really disturbed about the level of hatred that is rising in America. This is rank hatred on both sides, and that's bad for the country.
The MAGA people, most of the 70 million people who voted for Trump; they believe this whole thing is B.S., just as Trump said. They firmly believe it.
We don't have justice anymore in America, particularly in New York.
Poor people have no chance. If you're attacked by somebody and accused by somebody, you better have hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend yourself because if you don't, you're not even going to get a lawyer.
Think about Putin, Xi, the mullahs in Tehran, Hamas. They are laughing at us.
Biden is going to make a statement about this. Biden has to be careful, using the White House as a backdrop.

Have a good weekend. New column Sunday.

Political Hatred

2024-05-30T14:34:00Z

The unintended consequences of the Trump trial are staggering. More than 70 million Americans voted for Donald Trump in 2020, and I can't fathom that many of them are happy with the fiasco going on in New York City.

So hatred among the citizenry will escalate as Americans sink deeper into their tribal compartments.

I clearly remember the Obama-McCain and Obama-Romney campaigns - I was right in the middle of them. Passions were high, but bitterness was not.

Now, intense acrimony rules the land.

President Biden is partly at fault. He could have asked his Justice Department and the Democratic Party to stand down on the Trump legal attacks. The former president made mistakes, but he is not a criminal, and trying to destroy him is a huge social indictment of Biden.

I mean, sending the unhinged Robert De Niro to politic at the Manhattan courthouse was one of the most craven presidential acts this historian has ever seen.

The USA has been badly damaged by all the political hatred, which is not likely to end anytime soon. So, at this point, President Biden should pardon Donald Trump of any and all charges leveled against him just as Gerald Ford did in the Nixon-Watergate disaster.

It is Biden's last chance to save his legacy, and he doesn't even know it.

Best trial coverage on the No Spin News. See you this evening.

De Niro Goes All in for Biden

2024-05-29T13:45:00Z

Because Mad Max was unavailable, out promoting his new movie, the Biden administration chose Robert De Niro to frighten onlookers in front of the Trump courthouse. In short, Bobby D said that if re-elected, Donald Trump would pull a Julius Caesar and never leave office, he would also destroy planet earth, and, perhaps worst of all, he'd beat the living daylights out of Young Sheldon.

Maybe I heard that last one wrong.

Anyway, the last time I saw De Niro, he was walking across a snowy Switzerland playing Frankenstein's monster. That film made more sense than Bobby's anti-Trump diatribe.

The whole thing reminded me of the Scorsese movie "Casino" where Bob gives Sharon Stone bundles of cash so she can buy narcotics. Then he gets mad at Sharon because she's a bad mom.

Well, yeah!

The most bizarre thing about the courthouse fiasco is that the Biden administration actually ASKED De Niro to do this. Why? Was one voter influenced by the bizarre exposition?

Maybe Hunter, who liked "Casino" very much.

Some folks I know are voting for Trump just because Bobby isn't. It seems the former Goodfella may have to go into witness protection. Let's hope so.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Rooting for a Conviction

2024-05-28T13:19:00Z

It looks to me, based on reading and watching news coverage, that most national journalists are rooting for a conviction in the Trump/hush-money case.

You are not supposed to "root" if you are a journalist, but that rule was shattered years ago. Now, ideology dominates news coverage in the USA.

If Trump is convicted in this case, the country will be divided even further. Is that a good thing, NBC News? Will you tamp down the celebration on MSNBC?

Not likely.

Over at CNN, the words "let's get this party started" come to mind. At Fox News there will be some frowns and head-shaking to keep the customers satisfied, as Paul Simon once sang.

So here's my trial take based on an acute knowledge of Donald Trump and much experience with New York City, a liberal wellness spa.

The former president told his former lawyer to deal with accusations that were clearly designed to harvest money just days before the 2016 election. Trump just wanted the thing to vanish. There is zero evidence he even thought about campaign funding statutes.

Repeat. Zero evidence.

In order to convict, there has to be "criminal intent," as the nation saw with the Hillary Clinton private email thing.

So, simple man that I am, I can't see a conviction, but, of course, I could be wrong. If Trump hatred runs deep among the jurors, emotional angst will override the lack of evidence.

We'll know shortly. But we already know the intent of the press. Don't we?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Media Matters

2024-05-24T14:43:00Z

On this Memorial Day Weekend, there is good news on the culture war front: Media Matters is laying off much of its staff.

The odious website specializes in attacking conservative and traditional Americans in vicious ways. Recently, Elon Musk filed a lawsuit against the operation, which, over the years, has received significant money from George Soros-controlled enterprises.

Now, you may not know what the deuce Media Matters is; certainly, most of the public does not. But the guttersnipes who work there have been extremely helpful to the liberal corporate media.

Here's how the game works. The MM smear merchants attack a person with whom they disagree. They put the garbage out on the net, where it is picked up by dishonest press people who don't check the charges for accuracy. They use the word "reportedly." If the story proves to be false, the mainstream media feel no responsibility to correct the record. They just reported what was already out there, you see.

That's corruption at the highest level and it happens all the time, which is how Media Matters stayed in business. But, apparently, business is bad, and Musk is looming.

Old Georgie S. can't prop up MM this time. Elon has far more money. And so the horrendous site will die a slow death.

Good.

Enjoy the weekend. New column coming Sunday. It's a strong one.

Travel Boom

2024-05-23T07:00:00Z

Despite the fact that money is tight for most working Americans, the travel industry is booming. Summer bookings for air and hotels are robust and there are few bargains in play.

While trying to put together a late fall trip to the Caribbean, I stumbled upon this stat: hotel prices down there are 60 higher on average than before Covid.

Even mid-range dwellings are scrapping $800 a night when you add up all the unnecessary charges. Like beach chairs, WiFi, and "resort fees," it never ends. Want breakfast? At least $50 per person in many places. Order a drink? Expect $20 a pop. Sobriety pays.

In the USA, travel is also through the roof. Try renting a car for a week. Crazy. You could put a down payment on a lease for a three week rental.

So what's going on? Two things. First, the travel industry is making up for what it lost during the pandemic lockdown. In addition, Americans need relief; they are looking to have some fun in the middle of growing societal chaos.

If you spend some time investigating, you might keep costs down. If you have a tent, that might help. Or a skateboard. But inflation dominates as the summer of '24 approaches. Nothing is cheap or easy.

As old Walter Cronkite once said: "that's the way it is."

A Barely Functioning President

2024-05-22T13:51:00Z

Every day, I get mail scolding me for saying President Biden often doesn't know what he is saying. My opinion is that his mind cannot comprehend the words he speaks.

My critics say I'm "covering" for Biden; they believe he intentionally lies, it's not a mental issue. That's the debate.

So let me present an irrefutable fact that will prove, once again, O'Reilly's fact-based approach to news analysis should earn your trust, if not your admiration.

On Sunday, Mr. Biden gave a speech to the NAACP in Detroit where he said that, as Vice President, he helped Detroit get through the covid pandemic.

Now, the pandemic began four years AFTER Joe departed the vice presidency. That's a pretty long stretch. And those words were not in the speech Biden was reading. He ... made ... the ... statement up. A rational person whose mind is functioning never would have said something that insane because no one could defend it.

And the White House didn't even try. It issued a statement saying that the most powerful man in the world, the guy who controls the nuclear codes, really meant to say that he helped Detroit with the recession, not Covid.

Oh. Thanks for the clarification. It may be a long way to Tipperary, but it's even longer from Covid to recession.

So, I rest my case. If you vote for Biden, you are supporting a man who is so impaired he can barely function.

Dangerous? Off the chart.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Virtue Signalers Touting Justice

2024-05-21T13:49:00Z

While attending my daughter's law school graduation, I was struck by the speakers mentioning "justice." It was constant and there was a reason: virtue signaling.

The problem with the justice concept is it means different things to different people.

For example, many liberal folks believe reparations for descendants of slaves are just. Others say spending billions of taxpayer dollars on a historical wrong punishes innocent people who have nothing to do with the gross injustice of human bondage.

Another justice controversy revolves around the non-punishment of criminals. In cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, the victims of crime are mounting while the soft treatment of offenders is embraced by progressive DAs and judges.

Both sides believe their positions are just.

There is a simple solution to the justice dilemma and that is preventing destructive people and actions from escaping accountability. If you hurt another person or damage the marketplace, you must pay a price. Justice demands that but the punishment should fit the crime.

As for the "sins" of the past. They should not be repeated. But societal accountability is impossible without hurting innocents.

The philosophy of our country is that justice, not ideology, should be paramount. We need to get back to that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

No Justice in New York

2024-05-20T13:51:00Z

The travesty called the "hush money" trial of Donald Trump should end this week, but enormous damage has been done almost across the board.

The State of New York's image as a place of freedom and fairness is in tatters. There is no justice in New York. DA Alvin Bragg drops most criminal complaints and often allows violent offenders to plea out with no prison time. Governor Kathy Hochul, who could and should fire Bragg, apparently is fine with his performance.

In the meantime, Bragg has spent millions of taxpayer dollars trying to convict Donald Trump of some vague offense that Bragg and his henchmen can't even explain.

There is no question New York ranks up there with Venezuela and Cuba on the "justice scale."

If Alvin Bragg, Stormy Daniels, and Michael Cohen believe their lives have been enhanced by this fiasco, they are in for a rude surprise. Fair-minded Americans understand that blackmail, perjury, and abuse of power are unacceptable, and those who traffic in them are also unacceptable.

As for Donald Trump - he has benefited because no matter what his personal situation, he and his family do not deserve this blatant miscarriage of justice.

Hate him all you want, but don't applaud the destruction of justice because you may be on the receiving end of that someday.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump by Default

2024-05-17T14:43:00Z

This time next week, Donald Trump should be finally free from the bogus justice system that is an insult to the concept of equal justice for all.

The other cases against him are all being held up.

Even if convicted of phantom felonies in New York City, Trump will appeal, and there will be no closure for a while, which is fine with the former president, who believes the legal cases are helping him.

But they're not. At best, it's a wash. The real reason Trump is currently outpolling Biden is Joe's abysmal performance. I'm sorry to be insulting, but if you don't realize how bad a President Mr. Biden is, I would not hire you to wash my car.

So it's Trump by default. Four more years of Biden will cause massive suffering for all Americans as the culture will drastically decline, and overseas wars are pretty much guaranteed.

I well understand that millions of Americans don't believe me and think that no matter how bad Biden is for America, Trump is worse.

Just understand that attitude is putting all of us in danger.

History is unfeeling and dependent upon the actions of human beings. America's well-being is on the line in November. It is a damn shame so many don't realize what is right before their eyes.

Have a nice weekend. New column Sunday morning

Debate Fiasco

2024-05-16T07:00:00Z

It pains me to say this, but the exclusion of Robert Kennedy, Jr. from the presidential debates is a good thing for the country. I want to hear what Kennedy has to say, but since there's so much on the line in November, his presence would eat up valuable time and be a distraction.

Junior has no chance of winning, according to every poll.

The debate will be a fiasco without Kennedy because both Biden and Trump will say anything and accuracy is rarely a consideration. RFK, Jr. does the same thing as conspiracy stuff is a heavy part of his presentation.

We live in a time when seeking the truth is way down the list of priorities. People believe what they want to believe and that's that. Politicians well understand they can say pretty much anything and will not be held to account because the press has been infected with ideology. If your guy lies - ignore it.

And so, the USA will have debates. That's good. But much propaganda will be on display. That's bad. There will also be malice between Biden and Trump. Lots of malice.

Does CNN have people who can impose control?

No, they do not.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Grim Truth

2024-05-15T07:00:00Z

Remember the name Jody Powell? At age 33, he was appointed President Jimmy Carter's press secretary. Mr. Powell died young at 65 from a heart attack and his White House employment certainly was not a physiological boost.

Obviously, the late 1970s were a much different time than now, but the economic problems President Biden has are very similar to Carter's.

Simply put: working class Americans are getting hammered with the high cost of just about everything. Biden's press secretary is Karine Jean-Pierre who, like Jody Powell, has no explanation other than the Republicans did it.

A tarot card reader can give you a better analysis than that.

Here is the grim truth. Under President Biden grocery store prices are up 25 percent on average, a disaster. Gas prices 50 percent higher than on Inauguration Day 2021. The cost of a home up 47 percent, the median price hit a record $421,000 this year.

You want to insure that expensive house? It will cost you 64 percent more than under Trump. Car insurance: 52 percent more.

The price hikes are endless and Ms. Jean Pierre is shell shocked. Even the pro-Biden press is having a very hard time spinning this. It's like saying a root canal will improve your day.

It won't. And the Republicans didn't do it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trying to Destroy Trump

2024-05-14T14:13:00Z

After seeing Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen trying to destroy Donald Trump, the jury must be dousing themselves in sanitizer.

I mean, come on, this is what the city of New York has? These people? Hello, credibility. Will you visit anytime soon? Is that all there is?

Yes, that's all there is. Maybe a new NBC show: "Law and Order Limbo - How Low Can We Go?"

I don't know what Trump did, and neither does the jury. I don't know what the "underlying crime" is. Shutting up people trying to hurt you? Is that it? Using corporate money to do so?

Misdemeanor.

I would pay money never to see Stormy Cohen (condensed to save time) ever again. I think we should all contribute to a GoFundMe to send them to Chad.

This legal fiasco should wrap up by the end of next week. And when it's over, what will be accomplished?

Well, a verdict, to be sure.

And maybe Donald Trump back in the Oval Office.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump Rally Sends Message

2024-05-13T14:50:00Z

The New Jersey state police reported that nearly 100,000 human beings showed up for a Trump rally in the aptly named Wildwood on Saturday.

To quote Hyman Roth to Michael Corleone in Godfather II: What does this tell you, Michael? Well, a number of things.

First, President Biden couldn't get that kind of crowd even if he forgave everyone's credit card debt if they showed up.

Second, New Jersey is a blue state, it's not Texas. So, a Republican candidate scoring there is significant.

Then there's the bogus New York City trial. Doesn't seem to have held back the crowd, does it?

If Stormy Daniels was "performing" in South Jersey, how many would have shown up?

Maybe her cat.

How about Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg? Do you think he would draw a crowd?

Donald Trump is actually winning the pre-election despite the corrupt forces arrayed against him. It's kind of astonishing.

One danger, however. This kind of rally turnout tends to embolden Mr. Trump.

Not sure he needs more bold.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Evil Wins

2024-05-10T15:25:00Z

Sometimes, evil wins. The murderous regime in Iran has to be very pleased with the Gaza situation as it has metastasized into major problems for Israel, America, and the West in general.

To understand the Iranians, you must begin with the Mullah's chief tenet: Infidels deserve to die. Slowly. Painfully. Children are no exception.

Thus, on October 7, the world saw Hamas terrorists slaughter more than a thousand Israeli civilians in gruesome ways. The Mullahs certainly knew the attack was planned as their agents are embedded with Hamas and Hezbollah. Little happens in the world of terror that Teheran doesn't sanction.

The attack has now caused a fissure between the USA and Israel. The weak president, Joe Biden, is more concerned with winning reelection than fighting terrorism. His advisors understand the far left will turn against Biden if he doesn't back away from the Israeli fight. And so he is.

The useful idiots on college campuses delight the hatchet men in Iran as they produce propaganda TV pictures worldwide. Even though their numbers are small, the international audience doesn't know that.

Of course, these same student nitwits would be executed with extreme prejudice if they ever tried that stuff in Iran.

Perhaps Columbia University should establish a third-year abroad program over there.

And, so, the vicious war criminals who run Iran are happy this weekend. Their plan worked much better than they ever thought it would.

But their day is coming. Mark my words.

New column on Sunday.

Stormy Daniels' Testimony

2024-05-09T07:00:00Z

The opening days of the Trump hush money trial were an embarrassment for the state of New York. Stormy Daniels' testimony suited her profession, and jury members had to feel uneasy even if they don't like Trump.

The attorneys for the former president were mediocre - completely overlooking the essential question: why is Stormy Daniels even in the courtroom? Why did she seek payment for a "social interaction"? If the "socializing" took place in 2006, why did she wait until a few days before the election of 2016 to make monetary demands from then-candidate Trump?

Even though those questions were not precisely asked, the jury knows the obvious answers.

So, I now believe the odds of a hung jury are in Trump's favor. On his radio program, Sean Hannity disagreed, saying Trump will be convicted of election violations.

But my reasoning is this: out of 12 human beings, the heavy odds are some jurors will be honest. They will be offended by Daniels and the prosecution's obvious political motivation. Few observers even understand the underlying "crime."

I just can't see twelve people condoning this massive display of injustice.

Obviously, I could be wrong, as Trump hatred is deep-rooted. But with the revolting Michael Cohen on the stand soon, I ask a simple question: how much seamy garbage can this jury take?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Garbage Testimony

2024-05-08T13:45:00Z

Just as an American citizen, not a news analyst, I have to say that the courtroom presentation of Stormy Daniels was revolting. I don't know what Donald Trump did or did not do. I am certain, however, that after witnessing the testimony of this woman, my vote as a would-be jury person is not guilty.

Even if you despise Trump, you should admit the testimony was garbage in, garbage out. Some might even believe Ms. Daniels should be the defendant.

While researching my upcoming book, "Confronting the President," we found out that President Grover Cleveland had pretty much the same problem that Trump is dealing with. As a young bachelor in upstate New York, Cleveland impregnated a woman named Maria Halpin, who birthed a son. That was in 1874.

Ten years later, as Grover was running for President, Ms. Halpin was back seeking money even though the child had been adopted. The ensuing lurid headlines almost cost Cleveland the election. The Democrat defeated James Blaine by less than 100,000 votes.

Republicans used this chant to denigrate Grover: "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa? Gone to the White House, ha, ha, ha."

Grover Cleveland tried to keep the scandal quiet, and New York authorities left him completely alone. But that was then.

Now we live in appalling times. President Cleveland is the only chief executive ever to win two non-consecutive terms. Trump is trying to duplicate that.

And he just might again win the White House.

Ha, ha, ha.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Opportunists

2024-05-07T15:08:00Z

The hidden underbelly of the current anti-Israel protests is exactly the same as the George Floyd riots: a hatred of the white patriarchal capitalist system.

Many of the students don't know that, just as many of the looters didn't care. An opportunity presented itself, and some folks took advantage.

But if you track the organizers of the unrest, you will find hard-core socialists and communists. In England and Ireland, the hate Israel cadres are open about that. Here in the USA, they are not.

That's because most Americans abhor the loss of freedom that accompanies government control of the marketplace. Our history and Judeo-Christian tradition both work against mandating what individuals can achieve.

The climate control zealots also fall into the anti-capitalist movement.

Corporate media, devoted capitalists, is absolutely disinterested in exposing the roots of the current protest model. But it's easy to find. Israel is a prosperous, capitalist country. The Palestinians cannot create prosperity because they have no freedom to do so.

Hamas rules them, and no dissent is permitted. In Gaza, freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

So there you have it. The capitalism is evil crew will find a way to create social disorder.

It's what they do.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Media Distrust

2024-05-06T07:00:00Z

Here's why the vast majority of Americans distrust the national media. On Sunday, Jonathan Karl of ABC News went on a lengthy diatribe about how the USA will be damaged, perhaps forever, if voters put Donald Trump back into the White House. It was the usual, Trump continues to peddle a phony assessment of the 2020 vote and encouraged the riot on January 6.

Okay, Karl is entitled to his analysis as Disney is paying him handsomely for it. But we've all heard Karl's opinion in some form every day for three and a half years. Doesn't the guy have anything else?

Doesn't seem like it.

Mr. Karl, a graduate of ultra-liberal Vassar College, is making big money off Trump hatred. His last book was an all-out attack on the former President and Karl's loathing guarantees him job security at ABC News.

Just curious but I can't find any Jon Karl analysis of Mark Zuckerberg pumping hundreds of millions of unexplained money into a few crucial voting districts in 2020. Is Jon aware? Disinterested? Frightened to engage?

I don't know.

What I do know is that Donald Trump believes there was election fraud and he's not going to stop with that even if it hurts him, which it does.

As far as January 6, the Justice Department has not charged Trump with conspiracy and there is plenty of evidence that he did not want violence or lawbreaking.

Would Jonathan Karl at least admit that? Probably not as it ruins his narrative.

Then we move ahead to a comparison of governance between Biden and Trump. Each of us is entitled to make our own determination here. But it's not even close if you fact-find on inflation, illegal immigration, civil disorder, and overseas chaos.

Maybe Karl will do a fair analysis of that.

You think?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Same Story

2024-05-03T15:32:00Z

It is getting very difficult for me to cover President Biden without being repetitive. The situation in the White House is deteriorating and it was never good. From the day one open border madness, to attacking the energy industry, to demanding unconstitutional equity, the situation room should have been relabeled "the dire situation room."

But where does a fair-minded news analyst go from here? Unlike the media Trump haters, I don't despise Mr. Biden and will not fabricate stories about him.

I strongly suspect he gamed the system by helping his son and brother peddle influence, but I can't prove it. And neither can Jim Jordan and James Comey. At least not yet.

If I call the President a "weak leader" one more time, my dog will run away. It's crazy; I am making the same points over and over. The material may be new, Cannibals and such, but the theme is the same.

Add to that the "anyone but Trump" mentality, and my ability to persuade Biden supporters that their guy is causing grave damage to the nation is stifled.

They ... don't ... care.

Get Trump.

It is six months before the vote. We will continue to bring you honest information and keep you ahead of the pack. I will find a way to freshly frame the election.

The Holy Spirit will be working overtime.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday on college madness.

A Man Without Conviction

2024-05-02T07:00:00Z

The Biden administration is getting nervous about the anti-Israel protests. A Harvard/Harris poll says 80 percent of Americans support Israel over Hamas, but the far left does not. And Biden fears that branch of his party.

Thus, it took an astounding 13 days for the President to even issue a statement criticizing, but not condemning, people who violate the law under the protest banner. The most powerful Jewish-American, Senator Charles Schumer, also demurred for 13 days.

Both statements could have been written at the Waffle House.

At this point, any intelligent person knows President Biden is a weak leader. Certainly, the terrorists understand that. Iran is literally getting away with murder, and negotiations continue with Hamas, even though it slaughtered and raped thousands of Jews and holds more than 100 innocent people hostage.

The other day, Mr. Biden said he's doing everything possible to get imprisoned Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovitz released from Russia.

Evil Vlad yawned.

Joe Biden is a man without conviction, a man who doesn't know, to quote Boy George, who, most likely, would be a stronger leader than old Joe.

The Drew-Kamala Interview

2024-05-01T07:00:00Z

The Joe and Kamala softball tour continues with the Vice President appearing on Drew Barrymore's morning TV show.

I don't know Ms. Barrymore but she looks like a nice person. However, political chats might not be her forte.

From the jump the Drew-Kamala interview was ... well ... a box of chocolates to quote Forrest Gump.

Drew saying quote: "We all need a mom. I've been thinking that we all need a tremendous hug. But in our country, we need you to be Momala of the country."

To which the Vice President replied: "yeah."

Now, that wasn't at the level of the Joe Biden/Howard Stern smooch-a-rama but it was close. Momala and Drew bonded just as Joe and Howie did.

Hugs all around.

Yes, it is an election year, and the democrats know they have a vast safe space with the American media. At this point, the Biden campaign understands it can avoid all tough questioning, kind of like what Putin does.

Will this hugs strategy work? No, I don't think so. Joe and Kamala look weak participating in the media nonsense.

And besides, shouldn't Trump be getting a few hugs. Let's label it Tra-mala.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Cognitive Decline

2024-04-30T14:42:00Z

President Biden isn't the only powerful Democrat in cognitive decline. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, 84 years old, has apparently lost it completely.

Appearing on MSNBC, a wellness spa for liberals, Ms. Pelosi said that President Trump "lost" nine million jobs. The host, Katy Tur, looked baffled. Well, that's because of the Covid shutdown, she opined.

Whereupon Nancy Pelosi called Ms. Tur an "apologist" for Trump.

Now, Katy Tur is a proud liberal and always has been. She, like her NBC News peers, deplores the former President. But that's not enough for Nancy Pelosi, who is on the record saying Joe Biden is the best president OF ALL TIME!

The fact that Ms. Tur had the nerve to utter a fact that did not demean Trump caused Pelosi to throw a tantrum.

But why did Tur correct the record?

The executives who run NBC and CNN know their brands have been badly damaged by the rampant progressive slant those networks embrace.

So, very quietly, orders have gone out to producers and hosts to dial the leftism back a little. Just a little.

Ms. Tur was following orders.

As for Nancy Pelosi, well, she answers to no one. Her hatred of Trump keeps her blood flowing. Anyone not despising the Don is beneath contempt in Loonville, where Nancy is living out her final days.

To say Nancy Pelosi has lost it is akin to believing that Donald Trump is a Bible salesman.

Wait, that might not be the best analogy.

White House Correspondents' Dinner

2024-04-29T14:32:00Z

Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner was standard fare. Thousands of Washington DC establishment folks feeling very good about themselves. Joe and Kamala front and center, most of the jokes were on Trump.

By this point in history, everyone knows that the District is much like Hollywood; if you want to work there, you must have liberal sensibilities. If you don't, you'll stay home a lot.

I attended a number of these soirées back when Fox News dominated the daily discussion. Mostly enjoyed myself. In fact, I invited Donald Trump long before he entered politics. We had a few laughs.

The after party at the French Embassy is always the big invitation. One year I had nice chats with Katy Perry, Elizabeth Banks, and then-Attorney General Eric Holder. Learned a lot. Everyone was civil.

Today, that doesn't happen. Fox had a very small presence at this year's event and was lambasted by comedian Colin Jost. But it wasn't a big deal. Soft target.

Like almost everything else in the media, the thrill is gone. President Biden launched a few one-liners but paled next to Barack Obama, who really knew how to deliver a monologue.

Mr. Jost looked a bit lost without his Saturday Night Live shield. If you want to see a comedian command that room, check out Jay Leno's 2010 appearance.

The cliche is "back in the day."

And I remember very well. The news industry was much better then.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Trump Trial Prediction

2024-04-26T15:38:00Z

Analyzing the news requires some knowledge about how things really work in America. And that ability can only be developed with experience, which I have - nearly 50 years worth.

Enter Donald Trump's petition to the Supreme Court that he should be protected from all criminal charges for his actions on January 6 because he was carrying out his official executive branch duties as he saw fit.

Simply put: There was no criminal intent by Mr. Trump.

The court's three liberal justices, who are personally appalled by the former president, are not likely to accept that.

But the other six jurists clearly do NOT want to limit presidential authority in a case this subjective. If Trump had sold his office and received secret payments, that would be one thing. But allowing a federal prosecution on the theory that Trump willfully wanted to destroy the election process is quite something else.

So, my prediction is that the Supreme Court sends the case back to a lower federal court to define the exact actions for which a president can be prosecuted.

That decision would delay the January 6 conspiracy case until after the November vote. The subtext being the Supremes don't want to interfere with the election.

We'll know before the Fourth of July if I'm right.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

An Easy Call

2024-04-25T14:53:00Z

In the summer of 2016, I was grilling some burgers in the backyard when the cell phone rang. It was then candidate for president Donald Trump calling to shoot the political breeze.

This was not unusual as I have known Mr. Trump for three decades and we occasionally chat about all kinds of things, most of which are kept confidential by me. Even the stuff about how the Mets can never quite get it together.

On that call, Trump was venting about the press which had recently turned against him with a ferocity that was disturbing. At first, CNN and others couldn't get enough of candidate Trump because he brought high ratings. So they kissed his behind. But that quickly changed when he bested the Republican primary field.

As the candidate took a breath, I said let's do this on the air tomorrow. I'll give you eight minutes of Factor time. Trump said he was otherwise engaged, but his lawyer, Michael Cohen, was available.

No, I said.

Why? Trump countered.

"Because he's a weasel, and we're not a pet emporium."

Donald Trump went silent. I then wrapped it up by positing something like: "You better not trust this guy."

Yes, I'm somewhat of a sage. But that wasn't a hard call.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Collapse of American Journalism

2024-04-24T13:31:00Z

As we predicted, the two news agencies most invested in destroying Donald Trump, NBC and CNN, are wildly speculating about what "might" have happened in the current New York City hush-money case.

Of course, those news agencies and others are producing no solid reporting about factual events; nothing like that. Why bother to do real reporting when you can spin "maybe" tales full of salacious gossip and unproven allegations?

This is just another vivid example of the utter collapse of American journalism. Today, hearsay and wishful thinking have replaced responsible fact-finding. There are few standards on television news, generally speaking.

Imagine if dental standards headed the same way. Anybody could be a dentist if he or she could locate your mouth. That might bring some pain.

Well, that's what we have in the news industry. A bunch of lazy ideologues passing themselves off as honest journalists.

It is absolutely painful to witness.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Misuse of Power

2024-04-23T13:31:00Z

Although it is obvious the Trump hush money trial is politically driven, there is some importance attached to it.

The signal on that is how anxious the corporate media is to see Trump convicted. CNN and NBC, in particular, are salivating.

The former president is not likely to be sent to prison if convicted but he will be fined and embarrassed. He will not lose core support but some independent voters will be influenced. Of course the Biden campaign will run wild with any guilty verdict.

Corruption in the business and political world is a given. Wait until you see what we will present in my upcoming book, "Confronting the Presidents." That statement does not excuse bad behavior but provides context. Donald Trump is a target of the far-left New York "justice system."

That's wrong because it's a misuse of power. And the entire country is negatively affected by this flimsy exercise.

The Trump defense is hoping for a hung jury. That would be a huge victory for him.

But, really, there are no winners in this one.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

How Low Can They Go?

2024-04-22T13:33:00Z

The "hush money" trial begins today in New York City. Donald Trump enduring an obvious political prosecution by far-left local prosecutors.

Most Americans understand the situation even if they despise Mr. Trump. Throughout our history, many politicians kept indiscretions quiet, including John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Wait until you read "Confronting the Presidents," my next book out in September.

Not justifying bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior because I don't know what Donald Trump actually did. I do know two women demanded money, or else they would harm him and his family.

That has been established.

The hate Trump media will provide eager coverage of the trial, and no fairness will be involved. The left wants Trump gone by any means necessary.

I will cover the trial from a big-picture perspective, leaving the guttersnipes to snicker and defame. That's what many in the American press do and they're good at it.

How low can they go? Now, there's an interesting question.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

NewsNation Debate

2024-04-19T14:42:00Z

On Wednesday, I appeared on NewsNation with Chris Cuomo and Rosie O'Donnell to talk about her long-time feud with Donald Trump. Now, I don't usually do this kind of thing. No panels, no debate with anyone other than the anchor of the show.

However, I made an exception at NewsNation's request for historical reasons. Years ago, I had Mr. Trump on The O'Reilly Factor and suggested to him that personal attacks were useless.

NN used that clip and then the discussion unfolded. Ms. O'Donnell, a devoted liberal, put forth that Mr. Trump wants to eliminate democracy and be a dictator. She used the Biden campaign's mantra: "Democracy is on trial in November."

I opined that in his four years of governance, President Trump respected the democratic process until the January 6 fiasco. Rosie believes Trump wanted violence at the Capitol. After extensive investigation, I do not concur, citing an array of exculpatory evidence.

Trump's mistake was not condemning the riot quickly enough.

Of course, Rosie O'Donnell has already convicted Trump of sedition, so my words were dismissed.

Then she said the former president hurt the American people during Covid. That was new. So, I cited a thing that liberal Americans adore: the vax. Trump's deals got it to the marketplace in less than a year.

Rosie had no reply.

It was an interesting segment and we've posted it on the site. Once again, liberal people essentially operate on emotion.

I do not. Facts win the argument.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Border Destroyers

2024-04-18T07:00:00Z

As predicted, all 51 Democrats in the Senate voted against convicting Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas of high crimes and misdemeanors. Thus, Mayorkas walks away from his impeachment in the House.

No one believed the hapless Mayorkas, a weak, inarticulate bureaucrat, would be held to account for the disaster on the southern border but certainly President Biden and the Democratic Party should feel the scorn of the voters in November.

There is no question that failing to follow U.S. immigration law has damaged the USA, and Mr. Biden is almost solely responsible for that. His executive orders demolished Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, which at least contained some of the lawlessness. Under Biden's destructive orders, perhaps as many as ten million foreign nationals have illegally crossed the borders.

Essentially, Joe Biden and his followers are fine with allowing people entry to this country to await asylum hearings, which are years away. These migrants are unsupervised, and most are dependent on U.S. entitlement programs, which are estimated to cost taxpayers more than a trillion dollars.

Also, according to Congressional data, more than 600,000 migrants have criminal records in their home countries and are now at large here.

Madness? No question? As Biden would say, "I'm not being facetious."

As Alejandro might say: "What?"

Yet when Election Day rolls around, millions of Americans will vote for the border destroyers.

That's the worst thing of all.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The BillOReilly.com Philosophy

2024-04-17T07:00:00Z

As part of our presentation on BillOReilly.com, we are encouraging Americans to develop a well thought out philosophy: Mine is clear: I believe America is a noble nation that provides the most opportunity of any country.

But others do not believe that.

Acceptable under our Constitution but not valid if you don't have a solid reason for your dissent.

As part of my philosophy presentation we have two drinking mugs in the BillOReilly.com store. The first says "Self-Reliance" and the second display is "Not Woke".

Self-reliance and honesty are the two main keys for success in our competitive society. If you depend on others or the government, you will never reach your potential. This is NOT being taught in public schools.

Not woke is a bit more provocative. Political correctness is leading to injustice and bitterness. It is strangling merit and expression. The woke hordes are damaging the United States.

Do not associate with them. It is a destructive movement.

Messaging is important, and we are doing our part. We hope you are with us. Live your philosophy and spread the word.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Grave Damage

2024-04-16T15:00:00Z

On Monday, President Biden had to read notes after meeting with the leader of Iraq. America's leader is now incapable of speaking about events unfolding right in front of him.

So we return to the question of how any responsible citizen could vote for a man as diminished as Joe Biden. This is a national security situation, is it not?

On my recent trip to Europe, I heard very little about Mr. Biden. In fact, I saw nothing. Over there he is inconsequential.

But here in the States, he is doing grave damage. This is obvious to any thinking person not poisoned by leftist ideology.

Yes, the progressive movement loves Biden. He does almost everything the far left wants. Soon, he may turn on Israel, the only issue where he hasn't surrendered to the liberal extremists.

The truth is the USA is facing threats all over the place. And President Biden is a major part of that. He is a problem-maker not a problem-solver.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Liberal News

2024-04-15T07:00:00Z

Years ago, while working at Fox News, I told the audience that major media outlets like The Washington Post, The New York Times, and most network news outlets would not tolerate conservative thought.

My imagery was that any employee wearing a MAGA hat, for example, even on private time, would be banished.

Subsequently, we have seen that play out in many leftwing companies. The latest is National Public Radio, where a former executive writes that a liberal bias is enforced enthusiastically.

NPR's CEO, Katherine Maher, once tweeted that "Donald Trump is a racist" and was openly sympathetic to the violent rioting after George Floyd's death.

Now, consider that NPR and its TV cousin PBS have convoluted access to about 500 million dollars yearly from American taxpayers, and you have an enormous scandal.

One footnote: In my 20+ years at the Fox News Channel, I never saw employees punished for liberal beliefs. People like Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, and Shepherd Smith prospered. The Executive Producer of the O'Reilly Factor was a proud Democrat.

That has never happened at the liberal news organizations. You either fall into line or work elsewhere.

Maybe Frontline could do a report on it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Abortion Question

2024-04-05T07:00:00Z

Florida has become the poster state for democracy in the USA. Recently, Governor DeSantis approved a law banning abortion after six weeks unless there are severe health implications for the mother.

Immediately, pro-abortion organizations sued, but the Florida Supreme Court upheld the law with one fascinating footnote: Florida voters will be allowed to choose what kind of abortion situation they want in next November's election.

That's exactly how the U.S. Supreme Court drew it up; each state will decide the abortion question.

Of course, that's unacceptable to leftwing zealots who have tied the existence-ending procedure into "rights." Privacy, reproductive, whatever. They believe the Constitution protects abortion without limits.

In states like New York and California, that view will prevail. Abortion for any reason at any time. President Biden supports the extreme position that allows an almost full-term baby to be terminated in a painful way. But most Americans reject that kind of extremism.

Long gone are the days when President Clinton stated that abortion should be "safe but rare." He felt that way because, apparently, he was uneasy about millions of fetuses not having the opportunity to be born.

It should be noted that Communist China and Nazi Germany both championed abortion to control the birthing process. Humanity is not a feature of those regimes, obviously.

Today, in America, abortion has become a political advantage for the Democratic Party. There is little discussion of humane options such as adoption. Abortion is undeniably a destructive medical procedure, which is why an overwhelming number of American doctors will not perform it.

In our deeply secular country, it should be left to the people to decide this very personal situation. If there is a judgment day after life, things will be sorted out justly.

Until then, Florida voters will have the chance to decide the moral climate of their state. It's the best we can do.

Climate Change

2024-04-04T07:00:00Z

Global warming has arrived here in the northeast. It's been raining all week, so much so that arks are being hastily constructed. Arks, as in Noah. You remember him, right? Big beard, animals following him around?

Climate change is now pretty much accepted, allowing totalitarians another pathway to achieve full government control. Every time Mother Nature vents, it's Exxon's fault. Too hot? The coal people did it. Excessive rain? That's on your oven. Windy, let's string up those private jet owners.

Except John Kerry. The climate czar needs the big gas-guzzling jet to fly around, telling everybody not to use jets.

I just heard thunder, so now I'm mad at the heating oil delivery guy. Some nerve. Don't people have jackets? Fossil fuels are unacceptable.

Confession. I do believe the world is getting hotter because I can read atmospheric data. Went to Harvard. Luckily, I was there in the 1990s when data was allowed. Now, it's racist.

The climate change thing presents a nice opportunity for big government progressives to scare everyone. The rain will soon drown you if you don't obey government mandates. That's the play.

Noah took direction directly from God, or so the Old Testament says. Might be an allegory. But we Americans are hearing it from Joe Biden who may be meeting the Deity soon but is not a relative.

Joe is spending hundreds of billions to control climate change. It's not going to work because China and India won't cooperate. Finland will but it's not enough.

A cleaner planet is a good thing but government oppression is not. Life is often a trade off. Think about it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Leftist Cities

2024-04-03T07:00:00Z

There is no question that New York State is in trouble with hundreds of thousands leaving. Generally, poorer folks replace them, so tax revenues drop. Just this week, there is a report spotlighting all the empty office space in Manhattan. Corporate tax receipts will soon recede as well. The state is sinking deeper into debt; all services will eventually suffer.

The leftists running the city and state could not care less. They generally despise capitalism and the citizens who benefit from it. They want to collapse the criminal justice and financial systems and are partially succeeding in doing so.

California, Illinois, Oregon, and Washington State are in the same position, destroying traditional infrastructure to create a socialist utopia where equity rules.

The collateral damage is public safety. Some poor neighborhoods are now literally run by drug gangs who terrorize the defenseless with little fear of detention. No bail is, of course, a get-out-of-jail-free card. Governors Gavin Newsom and Kathy Hochul are playing monopoly with people's lives. Miscreants, including hard drug dealers, have little to fear in the Empire State.

So why don't I leave New York? Well, my family has been here since 1868. Deep ties. Plus, my purpose is to look out for the folks and expose the bad guys. Tough to do in Palm Beach. Need the northern edge.

So we soldier on, hoping the citizenry will wise up at the ballot box.

But it's getting late.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Easter at the White House

2024-04-02T07:00:00Z

The Easter Bunny showed up at the White House for the annual egg roll on Monday. President Biden promptly introduced him as the "Oyster Bunny," creating confusion on both land and sea.

President Rutherford B. Hayes began the Bunny tradition in 1878, and nobody really knows why, but I suspect old Rutherford did it to annoy his wife, Lucy.

I could be wrong.

Anyway, Joe Biden loves the Easter Bunny because, you may remember, the giant rabbit saved him by steering the President away from a reporter asking questions about Afghanistan, where Easter bunnies are routinely beheaded. That was in 2022.

Also, the egg roll put something on Biden's daily schedule which usually is blank. Naps don't count as events. If they did, Mr. Biden would be the busiest President ever.

Rumor is the Easter Bunny was a bit miffed that the President didn't bother to call the family of murdered NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller even though Biden was in Gotham during the wake.

The Diller's got the Laken Riley treatment; ignore them.

If that sounds too harsh, I'm not sorry. Joe Biden continues to be a detached, incompetent chief executive.

And no Easter Bunny on earth will change that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

To Forgive or Not?

2024-04-01T13:59:00Z

Facing death by Roman occupiers, Jesus of Nazareth said one of his few sentences while hanging from a wooden cross: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

The soldiers supervising the execution rarely heard words like that. Instead, they most often heard curses and cries for mercy from the doomed.

The mandate of Roman legions was to obey their superiors in all things. They killed upon order. They, of course, knew that.

What they did not know or care about was that Jesus was an innocent man.

Today, we have politicians in power who certainly know the damage they are doing by failing to protect innocent Americans. The open border, ordered by President Biden, has led to thousands of deaths, both directly and indirectly.

The failure to punish criminals is resulting in daily casualty counts across the nation that are nauseating.

Yet, the insanity continues. Why?

The only answer is the failure of callous politicians to admit mistakes and course correct. They simply will not do the right thing.

So, should we forgive them?

I cannot unless they show contrition and begin to embrace responsible policies. To me, President Biden is a dangerous man. New York Governor Kathy Hochul is a weak woman, California Governor Gavin Newsom completely self-absorbed.

Of course, there are politicians on the right who are venal and cowardly. But, at this point in history, the death and destruction we are seeing resides on leftist doorsteps.

I hope Jesus forgives them in the end even though it is obvious what these people are doing. They make the Roman guards look like pikers.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Good Friday

2024-03-29T15:02:00Z

On this Good Friday, as most Americans get a day off, even though relatively few are invested in religion, I am thinking about empathy, the ability to feel the pain of others.

Jesus of Nazareth had it and built a theology around "loving your neighbor as yourself." For spreading that word, the Romans executed him. We mark that occasion on Good Friday.

The family of slain Georgia college student Laken Riley surely deserves empathy. But President Biden did not contact those grieving folks. I don't know why. I do know that most of you reading my words right now would have called had you been President.

The young widow of 31-year-old Jonathan Diller is surely suffering. The New York City police officer was shot dead on Monday by a vicious career criminal who should not have been on the street. But President Biden did not call Mrs. Diller, who has a one-year-old baby. Biden was actually in New York City, just 30 miles from the funeral home where Officer Diller lay.

But the President never picked up the phone.

I am not judging only reporting. Joe Biden's lack of empathy has been a theme throughout his administration. Maybe, as a Catholic, Mr. Biden might want to think about that if he honors the Nazarene by attending Good Friday services.

A simple suggestion to the most powerful man in the world. Your lifetime will soon end. Millions have some empathy for you. Perhaps you can begin returning some of that as your time grows short.

New column on Officer Diller's funeral posted Sunday.

Remembering Joseph Lieberman

2024-03-28T01:54:00Z

The United States has lost a great patriot. Senator Joseph Lieberman died Wednesday from complications after he fell in his Connecticut home. He was 82.

I wish all 100 US Senators would emulate Mr. Lieberman. A man of faith, courage, and honesty, he loved his country to the extent that he put it over his own self-interest. You may remember that the Senator campaigned for John McCain rather than Barrack Obama in 2008. He believed Mr. Obama was too liberal and inexperienced to run the country.

That angered the Democratic establishment, and Lieberman had to run for re-election in Connecticut as an independent.

He won.

Last month, the retired Senator appeared on the No Spin News and was his usual energetic self. We talked about Israel, as he loved the country and his Jewish faith. As always, he was straightforward and intelligent. One of my favorite guests over the decades.

To me, Senator Lieberman's defining moment came after he and Al Gore lost the election of 2000. Razor tight, the Supreme Court making the call for George W. Bush.

Both Lieberman and Gore could have trashed the result, thus creating more division and bitterness. They did not. They put their country above themselves.

A striking example of what public service should be.

Rest in peace, Joseph Lieberman.

Steep Decline

2024-03-27T15:42:00Z

The collapse of social order in America is not hard to see. Foreign nationals treated better than working and poor citizens, violent criminals going unpunished, skin color preferences dominating universities and many companies. It's all on vivid display.

One of the reasons the USA is in steep decline is poor leadership. We give politicians power to solve problems, not create them. President Joe Biden singlehanded trashed immigration law by opening the border with an insane Executive Order. That led to a variety of horrors, including a massive influx of deadly drugs that are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Yet, despite the visible and provable carnage, Mr. Biden shows no remorse or even a desire to stop the madness. And his party backs him faithfully.

But Biden is not the primary problem. No, the biggest danger here is the mindset of voters who will cast ballots for him in November. Tens of millions will. As the cliche goes, what are they thinking?

Likely many of them are focused on themselves solely. Their emotions, their entitlements from a corrupt system designed to buy votes. Also, their apathy about the national weakness shrouding the USA; weakness that is causing death and destruction from sea to shining sea.

The folks who accept the dangerous disorder are the real problem in this country. But they will never acknowledge that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Misinformation

2024-03-26T07:00:00Z

Misinformation is a growing topic because the internet is full of falsehoods and there's little supervision on the sites. Last Sunday, Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes tried to pin the bulk of propaganda on conservatives but the truth is all sides are guilty.

The left points to Trump and the 2020 election deniers as primary culprits, and it's true that false flags were consistently waved. The colossal judgment against Fox News proves that.

However, the outright deceit about "Russian Collusion" came exclusively from the left.

This is not equivalency; this is a fact.

I believe very few media people and politicians are trustworthy in America because they believe what they want to believe. The truth be damned. It is now "my truth!"

How absurd.

The deceptive Tower of Babel we are witnessing is the reason I set up BillOReilly.com. We seek the truth. We don't always find it but an honest effort is made.

We are not interested in advancing ideology or pandering to a certain audience. We don't let profit dictate news coverage as corporate media absolutely does.

We are almost unique in the media today.

Media deception is dramatically harming the USA. That's one truth not difficult to ascertain.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Rebellion at NBC

2024-03-25T15:12:00Z

Eight days ago I wrote a column documenting the fact that the networks have few if any conservatives on the payroll. ABC, NBC and CBS are run by liberal executives and only one point of view is heard. The nets have even canceled non-liberal guests who have written books or columns.

A few days later, NBC announced the hiring of Ronna McDaniel, the former head of the Republican National Committee. Ms. McDaniel was a critic of the 2020 election, believing, as tens of millions do, that there was cheating in some places.

Almost instantly, there was a revolt by some NBC News personnel. Chuck Todd demanded on the air that the company apologize to viewers for Ms. McDaniel's hiring.

Now, if this doesn't prove my point nothing will. NBC is an ideological enterprise. It has effectively deep-sixed conservative points of view. And their work force is completely happy with that.

By contrast, Fox News allows devoted Democrats airtime. Juan Williams and Jessica Tarloff are the most prominent but liberal guests appear all the time. In my 20 years working there, I never once heard an FNC employee object to that.

The stifling of opposing points of view is un-American and counterproductive. MSNBC has a dwindling audience and could use some robust on-air debate.

It should be noted that Chuck Todd was removed from "Meet the Press" for low ratings and his over-the-top sneering views contrary to his own. The left is desperately insecure, generally speaking.

The mini-rebellion at NBC is yet another "brick in the wall," as Pink Floyd once chanted. But I guess I should thank the narrow-minded dissenters for bolstering my oracle credentials.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Border Violence

2024-03-22T07:00:00Z

Things are beginning to get violent along the southern border. On Friday, more than 100 migrants attacked U.S. officials as they tried to break through barriers along the Rio Grande in south Texas.

Of course, this was absolutely predictable and occurred at the same time President Biden was in the Lone Star state seeking campaign donations. In fact, rather than concentrate on doing the people's business, Biden spent three consecutive days in the Southwest scooping up as much cash as he could at taxpayer expense.

Not since the lazy and corrupt Warren Harding has a president ignored pressing national problems as Mr. Biden is doing. Quick fact: after 38 months in office, Americans still don't know why Biden opened the border with Mexico. What is the reason behind this dangerous and destructive policy?

Joe Biden will not say, most likely because he doesn't even know why. Like Harding in the 1920's, the President is not actually running the country. His shadowy progressive advisers are.

So, everyone who votes for Biden in November is casting a ballot for unnamed individuals who dictate pretty much everything President Biden does.

Somewhere, probably below, Warren Harding is smiling.

Enjoy the weekend. Preorder "Confronting the Presidents" to find out more about Harding and the 44 other presidents.

RFK Jr. for President

2024-03-21T07:00:00Z

Amidst the fear and loathing that comprises politics these days comes a little amusement. The presidential campaign of Robert Kennedy, Jr. is a hoot, as the cliché goes.

Last week, someone in Kennedy's orbit put forth that he was considering New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers as a potential vice-presidential selection.

Of course, this is nonsense and was done for publicity purposes. However, some in the lazy and corrupt media actually gave credibility to the situation.

Who's next, Bad Bunny?

Mr. Rogers, the player, not the sweater guy, apparently likes conspiracy stuff, which puts him in RFK's wheelhouse. And it is my belief that the former Green Bay Packer signed with the Jets for conspiracy reasons. The team is cursed, not having reached the Super Bowl in 55 years.

And, last season, Aaron Rodgers lasted less than a minute on the field before going down with a season ending injury. Cursed, cursed, cursed!

Actually, Aaron would be better than Kamala. He might get to the "root" causes of illegal immigration. Also, he doesn't giggle, which would be a major upgrade from what we have now.

So, Robert Kennedy, Jr. got the publicity he was seeking but, in reality, has no chance to win the White House.

Unless he can persuade Michelle Obama to be his running mate. Spread the word.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Israel Controversy

2024-03-20T14:52:00Z

The latest Trump controversy is about Israel, a country under siege. As you will remember, then President Trump moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, symbolizing America's commitment to Jewish tradition. On the whole, the Trump administration had a strong relationship with Israel.

The Biden administration does not because the progressive left sees Israel as an "occupier," an oppressor of the Palestinian people. And President Biden is totally dependent on the far left for campaign money and organizational ability. He will never defy them.

Enter New York Senator Charles Schumer, the most powerful Jewish politician in the country. Last week, he publicly called for the Netanyahu government to step aside.

It was a stunning insult that had to be approved by Joe Biden. Schumer was a proxy.

The USA is Israel's most important ally, and now the relationship is frayed, to say the least. The Biden administration certainly can advise Netanyahu in the war against Hamas, but it should be done privately.

Donald Trump believes the Democrats are biased against Israel and is scolding secular American Jews who support the Dems.

For that opinion, Trump is being branded "anti-semitic," which is ridiculous.

But demonizing Trump is now a sporting activity among the American left.

Come November, I don't believe the majority of secular Jews will vote for Trump no matter what happens in Israel.

To them, he's unbearable. Jerusalem or no Jerusalem.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

March Madness

2024-03-19T14:36:00Z

Okay, things are now officially out of control in the corporate media. As you may have heard, Donald Trump told a rally that the USA would experience a bloodbath economically if he is not elected president in November.

Predictably, the dishonest press portrayed the bloodbath comment as Trump calling for violence.

Even when the deceit was exposed, CNN put a banner on the screen saying Trump says he wasn't calling for violence.

Uh, no, CNN. He obviously did not espouse violent behavior, and you pinheads know it but don't care.

On the No Spin News, my television broadcast, I said if the corporate media goes after Biden like that I'll report it as well.

Presto, Fox News commentators claim the president is quote "screaming and cursing" because his poll numbers are low. Apparently, an anonymous report says that, so FNC gave it credibility.

That's not right. There is no source attached to the story. Hidden people are not legitimate sources of information.

The entire media landscape is the land of Oz these days. Full of mental munchkins and flying monkeys.

And you can quote me.

See you this evening for another edition of the No Spin News.

Garbage Reporting

2024-03-18T13:54:00Z

Lots of garbage reporting about the presidential campaign appearing. No surprise. Anonymous sources, statements taken out of context, bogus "facts." Trump gets it the worst, but Biden is not immune.

The primary reason is ideology, but there's another factor: ignorance. The truth is that many national reporters don't know much about history or the world itself. They have jobs for reasons other than competence. It's impossible for them to provide context or even discern what's true or false.

Liberal newspapers, the vast majority, love that because ideological editors rewrite the stories to fit the publisher's narrative. Reporters hand in copy then go out for a long lunch. They have no say about the final product.

It's more complicated on television because reporters there actually have to deliver the stories. But how many reporting on the Middle East, for example, understand the incredibly complex history there?

Few is the answer.

So, cover your eyes and ears for the next eight months. Some terrible and dishonest campaign reporting is on the way. Keep close to us for the verifiable facts.

See you this evening for the No Spin News, where we'll demonstrate that.

St. Patrick's Day

2024-03-15T14:33:00Z

St. Patrick's weekend offers a badly needed break from a news cycle that could wear out Godzilla. Forget about rockets and fire, just put cable news in front of the king of all monsters, and he'll keel over like a giraffe with four sprained ankles.

Currently in the USA, there are 32 million Americans of Irish descent, according to the Census. German Americans lead the ethnic league with 41 million, Italians 16 million, and Hispanics a bit more than 8 million.

St. Patrick was a priest who roamed Erie in the fifth century. Legend says he drove all the serpents out of Ireland - not a difficult task because there were none there to begin with.

Unless you count those nasty Viking raiders.

Anyway, Patrick was reportedly a good guy who helped the poor (almost everybody) and gave the Druids a hard time, which they deserved.

The Irish are a fascinating race full of mischievous lads and patient women, generally speaking, of course. I am proud of my heritage understanding the sacrifices my ancestors made to allow me to live a meaningful life.

I have visited every county in Ireland, including my own, County Cavan. A few years ago, my young son and I walked the farmland the British crown stole from the O'Reillys, which caused terrible pain.

Tremendously emotional to do that. Luckily, the magic of the countryside mitigated the memories.

So, happy St. Pat's to all. It's a fine day, ya know.

Fair Share

2024-03-14T07:00:00Z

As everyone knows, Hunter Biden is charged with not paying his "fair share" of taxes while accumulating millions of dollars from shadowy overseas operations. Yet his father, the President, is obsessed with hard-working Americans paying even more to the government because Joe Biden believes that's fair.

So, if I were the prosecutor in the Hunter tax evasion case, which is coming up soon, I would call Joe as a witness to explain why Americans should pay taxes and explain how he feels about his son being derelict in this area.

That would be something, would it not?

And the President can be compelled to testify even though he would challenge the attempt. After all, Joe is the highest taxing Chief Executive ever. His court appearance would shed white-hot light on exactly why rendering to Caesar is so important to the nation.

Hunter Biden doesn't seem very repentant over not paying his "fair share" that everyday Americans must. He hasn't apologized or anything. In fact, he believes he is being persecuted, and it isn't, sorry, fair.

When Joe Biden leaves office, I will pitch a Netflix program called "Biden Family Values."

Don't lie. You'd watch.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Economic Catastrophe

2024-03-13T07:00:00Z

President Biden's proposed 2025 budget is truly shocking and grossly irresponsible. He is asking for $7.3 trillion in spending when the previous high for any other president was $4.75 trillion.

That number was in 2020 from Donald Trump.

While most Americans do not understand the danger here and the corrupt media will not report it, if spending reaches that level - economic catastrophe is almost assured.

Last year, Americans sent $4.44 trillion in tax dollars to Washington. That's about $3 trillion less than Biden wants to spend in '25, if my math is correct and it is.

So taxes on everything would have to rise. Already, the extravagant Joe wants to tax corporations at 28 percent, up from 21. If that happens, businesses will pass the hike onto consumers, pretty much guaranteeing a fierce economic slowdown.

The United States currently carries a 34 trillion dollar debt. President Biden is responsible for $6 trillion of that in just three years. He is the biggest spending president in history.

If Americans vote for Biden in November, they are inviting calamity. Mr. Biden is so divorced from reality, it's stunning. His progressive base wants socialism, so that's what Joe will try to give them.

There is extreme peril brewing.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Election Scenarios

2024-03-12T07:00:00Z

After the State of the Union address, a long-term liberal friend of mine emailed me that President Biden had performed very well and would go on to defeat Donald Trump in November.

I replied his stated scenario is what he wants to believe and that the outcome of the contest remains undefined. I added that significant events will occur before November that will shape the election.

There is no question that millions of Americans will vote for President Biden no matter what happens in the world. Same for Trump supporters. A significant part of the electorate is locked in for various reasons.

My analysis, based on history, is that a Biden second term will veer even sharper left into socialist territory. The President is the biggest spender ever, and that will continue with rising tax rates on corporations and affluent private citizens. The corporate tax hit, of course, will be passed along to consumers in the form of higher prices.

The progressive left, which runs Biden, desperately wants massive income redistribution, and that can only happen if Washington controls the private marketplace.

So, Scranton Joe Biden will attempt to go there.

Thus, hardworking Americans, including my liberal friend, are voting against their own self-interest by supporting Joe. They and their families will have less, their economic security diminished.

That is what's on the ballot come November. Not everyone will believe it, but all should be told.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Global Warming

2024-03-11T07:00:00Z

Spring has arrived early in the northeast as another mild winter limps into the record books. It used to be you would get two months of pond ice on Long Island, where urchins like me could play hockey and scarf down hot chocolate the moms put in thermos.

This winter, there was not one day of ice.

It's global warming, of course, as temperatures are rising all over the world.

I noticed President Biden didn't spend any time on climate change last week, a top progressive concern. By the way, I watched Mr. Biden's State of the Union speech in South Florida, where it was 87 degrees on March 9 and 85 percent humidity.

So, it's getting hotter, and it's former climate czar John Kerry's fault for using private jets all the time. In fact, I don't know any wealthy progressives who don't charter. George Clooney does. Biden's money man, Jeffrey Katzenberg, has a big jet. George Soros does not fly Jet Blue.

Hypocrites? Certainly.

The cold truth about hot weather is there's nothing human beings can do about it unless we all decide to return to the 19th century. Warming is in progress, progressive people, and you're not going to stop it as long as folks need air conditioning.

Get it?

But climate change panic has another goal. And that is to increase the power of governments to control how citizens live. More rules, mandates and, most importantly, taxes. Soak the corporations and the wealthy. Get their money in the hands of progressive politicians.

That's the hot take here. You should know.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

State of the Union Observations

2024-03-08T08:00:00Z

President Biden got through the State of the Union with good energy. Nothing new. Not admitting he made any mistakes. Here are some of my real time observations.

Mr. Biden looks frail. First up, attacks Trump over NATO. Second tells Putin that we will not "bow down." Then tries to tie January 6th into Ukraine - threat to democracy. Blames Trump.
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 8, 2024

Catholic Joe segues into "reproductive freedom." Ten o'clock mass tomorrow?
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 8, 2024

Joe says he's creating American jobs right here in America. Okay, then.
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 8, 2024

So we are 25 minutes into the speech and nothing new at all. Spoke too fast. The President says he'll give Americans $4,800 a year if they buy a home. Vote buying? Surely. #StateOfTheUnion
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 8, 2024

Biden wants corporations to pay " their fair share", where have we heard that before? Joe will impose " fairness." Uh-oh.
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 8, 2024

Mr. Biden rolling on the class warfare front. He's going after the wealthy in order to fund the "working people." Socialism here we come. Bernie Sanders exhausted from applauding.

Biden says he wants to cut down the "backlog" of migrant cases. Republicans hooting him. Simple question: who created the backlog?
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 8, 2024

Biden totally booting the border analysis. Says his heart goes out to the family of Laken Riley. So, why didn't he call them?
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 8, 2024

President says America is safer today than when he took office. Meanwhile, the Democrat Governor of New York is sending the National Guard into the subway to protect folks.

Did you know Kamala Harris is in charge of the White House office of gun violence? I didn't. The President just said that. Does Kamala know?
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 8, 2024

I'll analyze the State of the Union and Mr. Biden's presentation in Sunday's column. Have a good weekend.

Bad Leadership

2024-03-07T08:00:00Z

So here's what I don't understand. President Biden is obviously having a very hard time governing, but millions of Americans don't seem to mind. If the country voted tomorrow, Mr. Biden would get more than 50 million votes. He would lose with that, but 50 million is A LOT, as Donald Trump might say.

And it is the specter of another Trump presidency that is Biden's strongest asset.

Joe is not Don.

But think about it for a moment. What kind of leader creates a disaster like the open border? Who does that? Even Warren Harding didn't do anything that foolhardy, and Warren was a dunce.

And what kind of leader slaps onerous regulations on the fuel industry in the name of global warming, failing to understand that higher energy costs will ignite inflation? Who does that? Not Herbert Hoover. As bad as he was with the great depression, he didn't start it.

And what kind of leader calls the Afghan withdrawal a complete success? Jimmy Carter didn't come close to doing that, and his foreign policy was brutal.

So, for all you Biden voters, a simple request: Please think about what the deuce you are doing.

Thanks for reading the message.

Trump's Running Mate?

2024-03-06T15:28:00Z

All that's left after ho-hum Tuesday is for Donald Trump to select his running mate. So, let's run down the list.

How about Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina? Looks to be a good person, a patriot, but what does the Senator bring to the campaign? His state is Trump country, and he's not identified with African-American voters.

And then there's Nikki Haley, who would help with the women's vote, but I don't think she and Trump like each other. Got to have chemistry.

Kristi Noem, the Governor of South Dakota, is a good conservative campaigner, but Democrats would launch fierce personal attacks against her, and so would the media. Think Sarah Palin.

Perhaps the best choice would be another Sarah, the Governor of Arkansas - Ms. Huckabee-Sanders.

Compatible with Trump, smart women like her.

So she wins! Right? Hello?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

A Strong Message

2024-03-05T08:00:00Z

No joy in Mudville. The progressives have struck out. Again. The far-left attempt to strike Donald Trump's name from presidential ballots received a humiliating 9 to 0 rejection from the Supreme Court.

This was an easy one. Individual states have absolutely no right to interfere in a national election. Never mind the loons in Colorado and Maine denied Mr. Trump due process in "convicting" him of insurrection; the Court didn't even have to consider that Constitutional violation. The state's ballot ban was all that was necessary.

Isn't it interesting that progressives are horrified that the abortion question is now being adjudicated by the states but are ecstatic when election nullification is attempted? That pretty much sums up the leftist philosophy. We don't really believe in the Constitution unless it advances our quest to change America drastically.

It is excellent news that the Supreme Court unanimously upheld federal power in national votes. That sends a strong message to the anarchists: your chaotic vision is illegal. And will remain so.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Political Football

2024-03-04T08:00:00Z

Big political week, Super Tuesday, which isn't very super this year, and dubious Thursday.

That's the day President Biden delivers the State of the Union address.

Risky for old Joe. If he gets lost on the teleprompter, his reelection campaign could end right there. If he garbles, he'll lose votes. If he falters at all, the Democratic Party will be badly damaged.

Remember, there are a slew of congressional races in November, in addition to the presidential.

The Vegas betting-wise guys have Trump as a heavy favorite to beat Biden. Two touchdowns. It's illegal to bet on a presidential contest in the USA, but it's also illegal to shoplift if you get my meaning.

Ladbrook of London will take the action.

Of course, many things will happen over the next eight months, but what will definitely NOT occur is a resurgence by the president.

He's locked and loaded in his 9th decade on the planet. Not going quietly into the night - but the curtain is definitely falling.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Mitt Romney

2024-03-01T16:09:00Z

It was disheartening to hear Senator Mitt Romney imply he will vote for President Biden over Donald Trump in November. As you may recall, Romney is retiring from the Senate but is still a person who commands attention.

The former presidential candidate and Governor of Massachusetts is a smart public servant who should know better than to allow his personal feelings to intrude on the welfare of his country.

It is certainly true that Donald Trump's verbal attacks on Romney, the Bush family, Dick Cheney, the late John McCain, and other traditional Republicans have resulted in justifiable anger against him. As one who has been attacked over the course of my career, I perfectly understand the feeling.

Also, I know Mitt Romney, and he's served his country well. So how could he throw in with one of the worst administrations in history?

Today's Democratic Party is promoting disarray on so many fronts; It would take 30 essays just to dent it.

And Joe Biden presides over the carnage.

So, Mitt Romney, do you really want four more years of open border chaos, racial division, collapsing public safety, and astronomical consumer prices?

Is that what you want for this country?

Let me know.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Hunter Biden's Testimony

2024-02-29T08:00:00Z

So, Hunter Biden testified under oath in front of two congressional committees that his father, the President, knew nothing about how he amassed tens of millions of dollars. Not one tiny thing. Nada. Don't even think about it because he had no idea foreign people were wiring his son huge amounts of cash.

Hunter also purports that the entire situation is political, and no one should believe a word of it. It's a Trump/Republican/MAGA plot designed to destroy Joe Biden, the greatest dad in the world.

Democrats immediately belted out a series of Hosanna's, completely accepting Hunter's analysis as fact. Come on, who could possibly disbelieve Hunter Biden?

Now, I have children. If they were amassing millions, I would know about it. How about you?

But Joe didn't, and that's that. Close the book, turn out the lights, and say goodnight.

What a world this is. Hunter emulates the group Dire Straits: Money for Nothing.

And just so you know - Joe didn't know.

Neither did Sergeant Schultz.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Appalling Apathy

2024-02-28T08:00:00Z

The essential question President Biden will not answer is why he will not close the southern border in the face of so much death and suffering. Why won't he issue an Executive Order suspending asylum claims until the United States can reorganize its immigration strategy and regulations?

There is only one answer. Joe Biden doesn't care about the situation. Sure, he can and does make excuses, but he really isn't all that concerned about ten million migrants and a record amount of narcotics flowing into the USA on his watch.

Mr. Biden is not alone in his appalling apathy. Andrew Jackson and a number of other presidents held slaves, not caring a whit about them. Jackson was particularly brutal - towards Native Americans as well.

Franklin Roosevelt could have bombed the railway tracks to Auschwitz, where he knew Jews were being incinerated. He didn't care enough to do it.

Lyndon Johnson allowed the Vietnam War to rage out of control, understanding he was not protecting American troops as well as he could have. He basically ignored the death and destruction for five years.

President James Buchanan knew Union troops needed food and ammunition at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. He refused to send supplies, fearing that he would be blamed for the Civil War.

After researching my upcoming book "Confronting the Presidents", I could cite many more examples.

But the Biden border apathy is vivid almost beyond compare. We all see it.

He ... Doesn't ... Care.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Woke/Equity Movement

2024-02-27T15:53:00Z

The woke/equity movement now controls many American towns, including Kansas City, Missouri. That mass shooting during the Super Bowl parade on February 14 remains undefined. Why did it happen? What was the motive? Who exactly are the perpetrators?

Four suspects are in custody. The two adults are black men, no details at all about the minors who will most likely be tried as adults. Of course, at this point, the authorities know what exactly happened but refuse to tell the public.

Why? Because race is in play.

Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed, and 22 other innocent people were injured, yet there is no explanation from Kansas City.

This is wrong. Everyone understands that if a white person was deemed responsible, that would have been front-page news on February 15, the day after, but minority criminal activity is handled differently.

The public should know why horrendous crimes happen. It's a matter of safety. Is there a gang component to the mass shooting in KC? How did those arrested get handguns, especially the minors?

Authorities have an obligation to inform us.

This censorship stuff has got to stop. Stonewalling important information because of skin color or ethnicity is not in the public interest. The Mayor of Kansas City is not doing his job, and apparently, the police are afraid of him.

Woke/equity: a plague upon the land.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Robert Downey Jr. and Mel Gibson

2024-02-26T08:00:00Z

As predicted here, the movie Oppenheimer is sweeping the film awards and will win the Best Picture Oscar as well.

The motion picture industry is collapsing, and this movie represents a quality throwback production that has earned more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office. So, there's no way Oppenheimer doesn't prevail.

At the Screen Actors Guild Awards over the weekend, the brilliant Robert Downey, Jr. won best supporting actor for his role in Oppenheimer and then did something shocking: he thanked Mel Gibson for helping during Downey's hard times.

In 2006, Gibson was inebriated and made some anti-Semitic comments. Hollywood canceled him almost immediately.

So, Downey showed compassion and courage by acknowledging that Gibson employed him while he was being shunned for substance abuse.

Of course, Downey's statement drew fire from the despicable internet guttersnipes.

Remember, the film industry is run by very few people who demand total political conformity. The industry is a brutal place if you don't toe the line.

Robert Downey, Jr showed true character in doing what he did. His legacy should reflect that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Dangerous Leaders

2024-02-23T15:44:00Z

So now there are unconfirmed reports that Mexican President Obrador - AMLO - has taken cash bribes from the cartels, and the Biden Administration is failing to aggressively investigate.

Is it true? No clue.

Is it possible? You bet.

Here's what we know. Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, allowing murderous criminal gangs to amass billions of dollars.

Mexico has the highest homicide rate on the planet if you count "disappearances."

Obrador allows millions of migrants to illegally enter his country in order to transit to the USA.

Obrador presides over a government that hasn't dented the drug organizations in decades. Entire cities like Juarez and Acapulco are run by vicious gangsters.

Obrador's amigo, President Biden, has presided over an open southern border for 37 months, doing absolutely nothing to stop the massive intrusion of foreign nationals into the United States.

Mr. Biden also is responsible for a record amount of deadly narcotics that are smuggled into America every day from Mexico.

No wonder Biden and AMLO are pals. The "see no evil" compadres.

In a fair world, both Biden and Obrador would be playing pickleball in Naples, Florida, not injuring their respective countries.

Again, I don't know if Obrador is taking blood money. But I do know that he and his amigo to the north are dangerous, incompetent leaders.

Enjoy the weekend. Don't go to Mexico for spring break.

Danger in Russia

2024-02-22T08:00:00Z

Well, Putin is running wild right now, murdering at will and incarcerating American citizens who are in Russia. It's obvious that Vlad the Evil Lad fears no one in the West.

This is not President Biden's fault, although Trump did a much better job containing Dr. Evil. Whether he could duplicate that in a second term is unknowable.

If I were president, I'd halt US-originated flights to Russia and clearly say that all American citizens should leave there. I would keep the U.S. Embassy open but with a skeleton crew.

There are places in the world where dangerous conditions simply overwhelm any reason for going. Some countries in Africa, Haiti, Burma, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan fall into this category.

I will not travel to Mexico because that country is so corrupt that Americans have no protections whatsoever. The foolish college kids spring-breaking down there are insane.

If you get into trouble, NO ONE will help you. Comprende?

To be fair, there are also places in the USA I won't go to: Oakland, the south side of Chicago, Ninth Ward, New Orleans, and San Francisco, to name a few.

This from a guy who dodged violence in El Salvador, Argentina, Northern Ireland, and the aforementioned Haiti.

Right now, the world should totally boycott Russia. That's about all we can do.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Family Drama

2024-02-21T14:45:00Z

The Biden family drama continues with James Biden testifying under oath in front of the House Oversight Committee. The subject - how on earth could he and his nephew, Hunter Biden, amass tens of millions of dollars for essentially doing nothing?

Of course, every clear-thinking person knows the answer to that question, but Democrats don't care. Let the foreign money flow.

Between the Bidens and Donald Trump, the country is exhausted. It is clear the Bidens sold perceived influence to enrich themselves, just as Mr. Trump overvalued his properties to get bank loans.

Yet Trump is crucified for what is essentially an ethical situation, yet the Biden saga somehow is slow-walked.

But I think there is more to come for the family from Delaware. I could be wrong, but banking records are damning. Jim, Hunter, and Joe are not in a good place.

And things like this have a tendency to unravel.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Faltering Leadership

2024-02-20T15:51:00Z

This week, President Biden again travels to California to raise money for his party and reelection. He's been on the West Coast about as often as he's been in the Oval Office. He's not doing the people's business.

Mr. Biden, as I have stated, is largely a ceremonial President at this point. Cabinet members and advisors are running the country day by day.

These people are loyal to Mr. Biden, so leaks about his faltering leadership are few, unlike the Trump White House, which was a 24/7 sieve.

Likewise, Democrats in Congress go along to get along. They all know the President is not on the job, but silence is golden, as the Tremeloes once sang.

The group also warbled: "But my eyes still see."

And so do we all, even the dimmest among us. Joe Biden is not ready for his closeup, nor will he ever be again.

The most powerful man in the world is ready for the golf cart and the early bird special. His wife and party should grant him that before something awful occurs.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Abuse of Power

2024-02-19T14:46:00Z

The unintended consequences of New York State targeting Donald Trump for destruction will become apparent shortly.

It doesn't matter what you think of the former President; there is little "justice" on display in this unprecedented attack by state officials.

Corruption comes in many forms. People in powerful positions are obligated to treat everyone fairly. That's obviously not happening when a judge fines a person $400 million dollars for a civil violation that has never been prosecuted before.

There were plenty of high-fives after the Trump fine and corporate banishment were announced by a leftist judge who will be overturned. But those congratulatory signals are foolish in the extreme.

New York City is now a place of violence and oppression. The smart money knows the progressives in charge of the city and state have ruined the quality of life and destroyed the criminal and civil justice systems.

Thus, the exodus out of New York will continue, and so will the human suffering that anarchy causes.

There is a clear tenet in America that the punishment must fit the crime.

But when you have people in charge who could not care less about equal justice for all, who abuse their power in frightening ways, who are dancing on the embers of a once great city, then it is literally survival time.

And the easiest way to do that is to leave.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Dangerous Politics

2024-02-16T16:31:00Z

As Super Tuesday approaches on March 5, it is apparent that Donald Trump will secure the Republican nomination soon after that date. I expect Trump to defeat Nikki Haley by a wide margin in South Carolina, but she will most likely continue to raise her name recognition for 2028 until March 6 - after which she'll drop out.

Then Mr. Trump will have to deal with the legal stuff. Here's where we stand with that.

The Georgia vote interference case has blown up over District Attorney Fani Willis's irresponsible behavior. I expect her to be replaced, and if she's not, an appeal will neutralize any guilty verdict. Key question: was Ms. Willis coordinating with the Biden White House? Looks like she was.

The Stormy Daniels hush money case in New York is weak and politically driven. It doesn't seem likely to hurt Trump, no matter what happens. Same thing with the civil case against the Trump organization in Manhattan.

The "conspiracy" case regarding January 6 in DC is also weak. Trump has a number of exculpatory facts that raise reasonable doubt.

That leaves the classified documents/Mar-a-Lago situation. Since the Justice Department gave President Biden a pass on the same thing, the Florida federal judge is very likely to be skeptical of the case, which helps Trump A LOT, as he might say.

Never before in the history of this country has politics intruded on an election the way it is now. The Supreme Court has to know how dangerous this is.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Gun Violence

2024-02-15T15:55:00Z

Realizing that linear thinking and logic are fading fast in America, I can't help but raise this question once again: if liberals are so concerned about gun violence, why do they oppose tough measures to stop it?

The problem is horrifying; you can't even have a Super Bowl celebration without a mass shooting. School kids gunned down, shoppers at malls in danger, criminal gang members shooting up neighborhoods.

But when I suggest making all gun crimes federal crimes with harsh mandatory prison sentences upon conviction, the left and even some conservatives will not support the solution.

So here's a reality check. The Second Amendment allows law-abiding citizens to protect themselves with firearms. That is not going to change, and individual states should pass public safety laws that provide as much protection as possible from gun-toting criminals.

But with about 300 million guns in circulation, bans will not work; only tough punishment will.

Sell an illegal gun, five years minimum. Carry an illegal gun, three years. Fire one, ten years. First offense, no parole.

How about getting behind that, Joe Biden?

He won't. The left wants a phony gun ban, not accountability.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Mayorkas Impeached

2024-02-14T08:00:00Z

The head of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, was impeached in the House last night by one vote. Every Democrat voted against it.

This is the second try on Alejandro; Republicans couldn't get the votes last week.

The Senate will quickly acquit the hapless Mayorkas because not one Democrat will vote to remove him.

There is no question that the Homeland Security boss should be booted because he's not protecting the homeland. On his watch, the open border is one of the biggest scandals in American history, putting every American in danger.

Alejandro does what he's told to do. He couldn't care less about national security or your personal safety. He is a political hack who would have been fired a long time ago from any honest private company.

But the federal government is not honest; it is all ideology all the time. The progressive movement wants no restrictions on immigration. Every single Dem congressperson and senator kneels before that demand.

Why? Because if they don't, they are canceled by their party.

Awful doesn't even begin to cover it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Emotional Protection

2024-02-13T08:00:00Z

It's called "emotional protection," a defense mechanism designed to get us through life. When things go badly, or our fundamental beliefs are threatened, we often retreat from rationality.

And most of us don't even realize what's happening.

The most vivid example I can illustrate is the Joe Biden supporter. Exit polling in 2020 clearly showed that Mr. Biden's primary appeal was that he was running against Donald Trump. The election was actually a plebiscite on Trump - Biden was simply a name that could banish the flamboyant former president.

Now, President Biden is a five-alarm fire, a leader so compromised and befuddled it is shocking. But some will not acknowledge that obvious fact.

They have embraced "emotional protection."

The unintended consequence of fleeing reality is that reality will eventually knock on your door, bearing very bad news. Should Joe Biden extend his administration, Americans will suffer. It's just a matter of how.

That analysis is certain. Just so the supporters of Joe... know.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Garland and Karma

2024-02-12T16:20:00Z

Word out of the White House is that Attorney General Merrick Garland is persona non grata, and his job is now at risk.

That's because he signed off on Special Counsel Robert Hur's devastating classified documents report that basically alleges President Biden is cognitively challenged.

Many Americans already knew that, but the corporate media would not report it, giving Mr. Biden cover. That bit of corruption has harmed the nation significantly.

But the deceit is over, and Garland is in the kill zone, an extraordinary turn for an Attorney General who has done everything he can to obscure the Hunter Biden lawbreaking that may have been enabled by his father.

Merrick Garland was a loyal Democrat soldier until he wasn't.

Of course, Garland had no choice. If he censored Hur's report, it would have come out leading to ruin for the Attorney General.

Three words, Merrick: rock, hard place.

Yes, you are finished with the Biden administration. That's karma. But you are far better off out of there.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

O'Reilly Talks 'Damning' Biden DOJ Report on 'Cuomo'

Righteous Retribution

2024-02-08T15:26:00Z

After all the blood and treasure the United States extended for Iraq, it is clear that the country is not our friend.

This week, the Biden administration retaliated against Muslim terrorists who, under the direction of Iran, are attacking Americans and other Westerners.

In Baghdad, the leader of a militant militia was killed by a U.S. drone. The Pentagon says the man was a terrorist responsible for killing three American soldiers.

That drone action is causing anti-American activism in Iraq, a chaotic place where guns rule. Iran has a significant presence in the terror communities there.

The world is an ungrateful place, and Iraq is example number one. We freed those people from a brutal dictator and took major casualties doing it.

In hindsight, we should not have invaded. It wasn't worth it.

Like the people of Afghanistan, you get what you pay for. And when you allow terrorists to rule, the bill will come due.

The Biden administration is finally doing the right thing. Righteous retribution from the sky.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Time to Go

2024-02-07T15:25:00Z

Senator Mitch McConnell will be 82 years old in a few days, and it is time for him to go. The Senate Minority Leader is out of touch with Republican voters and is doing his party serious damage.

The turtle, as he is called, got behind the clumsy border bill, which quickly blew up in Congress because it really did not solve anything.

Even a real turtle should have known that. But McConnell did not.

Full disclosure: after Kate Steinle was killed by a criminal migrant who was deported five times before he took Kate's life - I drew up Kate's Law, which would have incarcerated any foreign national who defied deportation for five years.

McConnell refused to put it up for a stand-alone vote, so it died, just like Kate.

I then knew exactly what kind of guy Mitch McConnell is.

If Republican senators don't remove him from a leadership position, the party will continue to suffer. Right now, according to the polls, Americans have a poor opinion of the GOP.

The party needs youth, energy, and perspective. Not hibernating turtles.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Border Bureaucracy

2024-02-06T15:38:00Z

So much propaganda, so little reality on the Senate border bill. First of all, it creates an even larger bureaucracy on the border, which would be impossible to implement in the short run. New judges, detention supervisors, data analysts, and an army of support people would have to be put into place.

That could take years.

In the meantime, immigration hearings are backed up for years right now. And still, these Washington pinheads want to create a new hearings process for thousands of migrants a day.

Can you spell chaos?

Little in the bill is even possible with a flood of asylum seekers at the front door. What needs to happen is a six-month moratorium on asylum requests so a reorganization can take place.

President Biden could order that with the stroke of a pen, to quote Barack Obama. But of course, he won't. What Biden and the Democrats want is to be seen as problem solvers when the migrant situation will not be solved.

It's called sleight of hand.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Dodging the Press

2024-02-05T15:47:00Z

President Biden says no to CBS. He will not do a Super Bowl pre-game interview with the network even though millions will be watching.

CBS is perplexed. It has been exceedingly kind to the President and will continue to be because its corporate management is liberal. You have to look very hard to find a conservative presence at CBS.

So, Mr. Biden should be able to coast through a chat like this. But he can't. He is mentally unpredictable. And his wife and advisors know it.

All Americans should understand what is happening here because it directly affects your well-being. The President of the United States is in mental decline, but his party and most of the press refuse to acknowledge it.

This is off-the-chart dangerous.

Compassionate people understand the problems that sometimes come with aging. Only fools believe Joe Biden is in command. He is not.

If re-elected, he will not be running this country. His shadowy progressive advisors will be because they are now.

And that's the truth. But you won't hear it on CBS.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Looming Showdown

2024-02-02T08:00:00Z

Nine months until the nation votes for President again, and here's where I think we are.

Donald Trump's MAGA support encompasses around 35 percent of Republicans, and they will stand by their man. So, mathematically, Nikki Haley has no chance. I cannot see anything stopping a third Trump nomination.

President Biden is drowning. A one-two punch of terrible policies and early-stage dementia has put him in the deepest hole since the hapless Herbert Hoover.

The excesses of Donald Trump do bolster Biden a bit, and his party has nowhere else to go, but things will get worse this year for Mr. Biden as he struggles to even function on a daily basis.

The national media, once an important force in presidential voting, is collapsing. TV News ratings are in decline, and once mega-newspapers like The Los Angeles Times are finished.

Most Americans don't trust the press; many despise it.

Finally, I don't expect to see a Biden-Trump debate, although one would help the former President. There is absolutely no way Biden's people will take that risk.

The coming election is really a showdown between progressive leftists and traditional Americans. In 2022, the progressives hung tough. But there is far more at stake this time around.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Kids and the Internet

2024-02-01T08:00:00Z

Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg apologized to families whose children have been injured by Facebook and other social media. That would pretty much be every parent in this country.

Zuckerberg and other tech moguls surely understand the addictive power of the net as well as how easy it is for sick villains to exploit children. And because we live in a free society, much of the harmful cyberspace stuff is not illegal.

Responsible parents can regulate social media, but many adults are tech addicts themselves and fail to pay attention. Authorities cannot force them to protect their children.

But new laws should be considered. For example, no devices are allowed in public school classrooms unless computers are needed for study. A kid flashes a device; it is confiscated until a parent picks it up.

How about a new federal cyber agency that can directly fine companies that allow illegal activities on their sites? That would require a new cyber police agency, but it's absolutely essential that oversight on tech be imposed.

Remember, artificial intelligence will overwhelm us shortly, creating new opportunities to harm children, like virtual pornography. The government has to get ahead of what will bring horror to American families.

It is now more difficult than ever to be a kid. Overwhelming danger is a finger click away. Many parents don't care.

But the federal government must.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

A Swiftie Super Bowl

2024-01-31T16:09:00Z

The Super Bowl this year will once again attract more than 100 million viewers and celebrate unbridled capitalism at the highest level.

And that would happen even without Taylor Swift.

But the addition of the fabulous pop singer to the Kansas City Chief roster guarantees even more viewers who are enthralled by Tay-Tay jumping up and down in the luxury box every time boyfriend Travis Kelce touches the ball.

Now, I like Ms. Swift. She was very nice to my young daughter when the two met on Long Island. I'm glad she's super successful. As far as the cutaways to her bliss during the game, it's better than watching a giant man covered with tattoos consume Gatorade. I do wish Tay would lighten up on the red lipstick a bit, but it's no big deal.

I don't know Mr. Kelce. He's a great tight end, no question. His association with Ms. Swift has brought him attention and endorsements. I hope he's grateful to her.

Some people are annoyed by the Taylor intrusion into the NFL. But as long as she doesn't kneel down during the National Anthem, it's all good, as the cliche goes.

But I'll probably root for the Niners.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Difficult Times

2024-01-30T16:07:00Z

As the presidential election of 2024 begins to unfold, America finds itself in a bad place. Yes, political leadership is dubious, but it is a profound lack of trust that is truly eroding the strength of the country.

Let me speak for myself, a journalist/historian who understands both the nobility and the flaws of our society.

Dishonesty is rampant. Perjury is routine in court cases, so much so that it is almost never confronted. Why bother swearing anyone in if the courts tolerate lying?

We see brazen drug dealers, shoplifters, muggers, robbers, assailants, and criminal miscreants running wild. Few are punished. Rather, the police are the villains.

The President of the United States refuses to enforce immigration law, turns away from his son and brother using him to amass millions, and spends so much of the public treasury it is only a matter of time before the U.S. dollar drastically declines in value.

Facing that, millions of Americans simply don't care.

How can we trust our fellow citizens who accept corruption and incompetence? How can we have any faith in the justice system or in declining public education?

These are indeed difficult times. And politicians aren't going to save us. Yes, we'll have to choose in November. But a far more important choice has to be made in all our lives.

Do you want a fair and noble country or not? If you do, put down the cell phone and begin paying close attention to the corruption around you.

The Lord helps those who help themselves.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Forced to Act

2024-01-29T12:00:00Z

President Biden is now being forced to act even though confronting bad situations is the absolute last thing he wants to do.

But he has no choice.

Iranian terror surrogates are now attacking American forces in the Middle East, so Biden will have to punish the Mullahs, especially since three U.S. servicemen were killed over the weekend.

On the border, the situation is so dire that 70 percent of the American people say the President's open border policy is unacceptable.

And the noose is swaying above Hunter Biden's head as it is obvious he violated a bevy of federal laws in amassing millions from foreign agents. Joe Biden has to know Hunter has violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act. In addition, he is charged with felonious tax violations.

There is nowhere for Joe Biden to hide on any of these things. He is massively exposed. So, what will he do?

As little as possible if history holds up.

But no matter what he does, his legacy is damaged, perhaps beyond repair. So many problems unsolved, so few solutions come out of the White House.

And so the American people wait for Joe to do SOMETHING. It's been a very long wait.

The Truth

2024-01-26T16:37:00Z

The dishonest corporate media is peddling a story that Donald Trump is trying to scuttle a border compromise in Congress, one that would also free up money to fight Putin in Ukraine.

So, here's the truth for readers who value it. Mr. Trump and some Republicans want more intense security at the southern border, including a wall. They don't want half-measures.

Most Democrats oppose a wall and are trying to get legislation that might tighten security a bit but certainly wouldn't solve the mass illegal immigration problem.

The GOP thinking goes, 'Why settle when the issue is hurting the Biden administration big time?'

Liberal Americans oppose a border wall because they believe it hurts the poor. They want "inclusion," not a barrier to it.

Like the thinking of Pope Francis, the reality of weaker national security and overwhelming cost are not vital considerations to the left.

It's all about emotion and virtue signaling.

So that's where we are. The truth will set you free.

Enjoy the weekend, new column on Sunday.

Playing the Odds

2024-01-25T15:59:00Z

Leftwing panic is beginning to set in as the inevitability of Donald Trump heading the Republican ticket for a third time becomes reality.

The liberal media has always underestimated Trump's shrewdness in tapping into the disenchantment of traditional-minded Americans, and that's what is happening.

Millions of voters are seething at a country that routinely disrespects them. Racial preferences in hiring and college admissions, gender-bending in full view of children, the mocking of religion, excessive taxation, and failure to enforce the law - all of these things stimulate anger, not just a disagreement.

Nikki Haley, a conservative woman, understands the issues but does not know how to tap into traditional angst.

Trump is a master at it.

And so the nation faces hatred on both sides as the left despises the MAGA mindset. America is also experiencing a tremendously incompetent president whose far-left posture and fuzzy demeanor are causing significant harm.

Even those who dislike Trump understand the nation's decline three years after he left office.

The gamblers have Mr. Trump as the favorite to win. Unless he fumbles the ball multiple times, the odds might very well play out.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Haley Problem

2024-01-24T16:18:00Z

Nikki Haley now presents a problem for Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Her determination to challenge the former president is civically a positive, but her stinging critiques will help President Biden.

Ambassador Haley now has four long weeks to diminish Trump before the next vote, this one in her home state of South Carolina. She will likely lose there, but, like New Hampshire, she'll run a spirited campaign reminding voters of Trump's age and controversies.

And then there's a debate.

Nikki Haley will insist on one.

What will Trump do? If he dodges, that will hurt him. If he accepts, the corrupt press will crown Haley the winner before a word is spoken.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden will never debate as he is incapable of doing that.

Donald Trump won last night electorally.

But Biden really won.

Best election coverage continues this evening on the No Spin News.

Election Business

2024-01-23T08:00:00Z

One of the unintended consequences of Donald Trump's dominance in the primary season is that political drama has vanished. Only the Supreme Court could deny Trump a place on the November ballot, and that nullification will not happen.

So, the television news operations, many of which have actually helped Trump with their nonstop loathing, will lose tens of millions of dollars in political ad revenue and lower audiences.

The "be careful what you wish for" syndrome is vivid here. The media fervently wants Trump to lose, so it went full corruption to make that happen. But Americans saw the coordinated, often dishonest attacks as insulting to them. Massive turn-off.

Even Fox News, once a Trump tower of power, has now become suspect to many.

As far as President Biden is concerned, he is vanishing before our eyes. There will be no vibrant campaign, no debate, and few interactions with the press.

Presidential election years usually mean big business for the media. Not this time. Super Tuesday? Not really. Conventions? Yawn.

Only if Mr. Biden decides to retire will things change. And it could happen.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Progressive Reaction

2024-01-22T15:56:00Z

The Boston Globe, as with many urban newspapers, is no longer a provider of honest information but now seeks to define itself as a champion of progressive causes.

Over the weekend, the Globe editorialized that voters in New Hampshire, no matter what their registered status, should use their ballot to hurt Donald Trump. The Globe didn't disguise its advice - it went full-tilt sabotage.

It's not surprising, but what is worth pondering is exactly why the progressive "community" despises the former president so much.

Yes, we understand election denial and a soft evaluation of January 6. But the deals Trump made in office actually helped most Americans, which is what progressives say they want to do.

By the way, progressive Joe is NOT helping the folks. At all.

Trump kept inflation below 2 percent, stopped most of the border intrusion, developed the COVID-19 vax quickly - a big progressive cause - and saw real wages for minorities spike.

They are down big under Biden.

So there you go, Boston Globe.

Let's see an editorial on that.

And we'll see you tonight for the No Spin News.

Tiffany Cross

2024-01-19T16:20:00Z

Tiffany Cross is a political commentator who was on the air for MSNBC until November, 2022, when they vaporized her.

Ms. Cross anchored a weekend program that spent a lot of time on race issues, usually castigating white society and the power brokers therein. She received survivable ratings which is a low bar at that cable outlet.

When NBC fired Ms. Cross, I was a bit perplexed. The parent company, Comcast, also employs Al Sharpton, Joy Reid and a bevy of white analysts who routinely bash conservative Caucasians. MSNBC embraces that game plan to this day.

So, why did Tiffany Cross get the boot? I don't know. It is true that TV News is a brutal industry with little regard for fair play.

Trust me here, I've been in it nearly half a century.

Ms. Cross isn't incompetent or untalented. She does use her skills to accelerate the racial divide but NBC apparently likes that.

She, herself, says she was terminated by executives unfairly and that a "white man" wouldn't have met the same fate.

Again, I have no clue why Tiffany is no longer friends with the Peacock people. But she's wrong about the white man thing.

Just visit the broadcast news cemetery, Ms. Cross. You'll have lots of company.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday on Trump.

Fulton County Fani

2024-01-18T08:00:00Z

As you may know, Donald Trump and 19 of his supporters are charged in Fulton County, Georgia, with interfering in that state's 2020 vote.

The prosecutor is DA Fani Willis, a hate Trump elected official. One of the 19 charged is now charging himself that Willis is corrupt, that she hired her boyfriend to investigate Trump paying him over $650,000.

But even more disturbing is the allegation that the boyfriend, Nathan Wade, visited the White House twice on Fani's dime.

What is that all about? Was Ms. Willis coordinating with President Biden in the Georgia case?

A judge now says he'll hold a hearing about all this, but he's in no hurry. Maybe he'll get around to it in February.

Trump's lawyers have already filed discovery motions, and that is not good news for Fani and her married beau.

Prediction: the Georgia case against Trump will blow up.

New Hampshire Now

2024-01-17T08:00:00Z

Welcome to the ice box of New Hampshire. The "Live Free or Die" state unless you expire from frostbite first.

It's chilly in this quintessential New England place. You might begin humming "Here Comes the Sun" in early May, if global warming kicks in.

The Granite State is a tough area where whiners are shunned. Ice Hockey without helmets, ice fishing with no shelter, steak and eggs. High cholesterol is a hobby.

New Hampshire.

Donald Trump is not a favorite son here. Too bellicose. Too "city-slicker." The conservative areas north of Concord like his policies. But, in general, his style is too brash for this rural place.

Nikki Haley plays well in the southern part of the state, which is dominated by Boston commuters fleeing punitive taxation. The South Carolinian is a factor here, and a good amount of Democrats will vote for her in the "open primary" next Tuesday in order to hurt Trump.

If Haley wins or even comes close, the corporate media will coalesce around this simple message: Trump is damaged.

Joe Biden is not even on the ballot because New Hampshire people loathe him.

Ron DeSantis bolted from Iowa to South Carolina because he didn't want to live free and die at the ballot box, which he will.

So, here's the setup. Trump versus Haley.

Let the snowball fight begin.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Babel

2024-01-16T12:00:00Z

With the presidential campaign now officially underway, there is a disturbing shift taking place among many American voters. Some of us are actually going back to the 18th century.

When U.S. Grant ran for president, most Americans knew he was a successful general in the Civil War, but that's all they knew. Grant was a big boozer, a poor manager, and timid when it came to defending Native Americans, who he knew were getting hosed.

Back then, the American media was only in print, and much of that was rank propaganda. Folks voted but had little idea what their ballots would actually lead to.

Today, we have a level of media saturation never before seen on the planet. Yet many American voters are as clueless as their ancestors were.

The reason is apathy. In order to be informed, you have to spend time reading and listening. That's not fun many times. Cruising the cell phone and watching idiotic reality shows is much more appealing.

The power seekers on all sides understand that propaganda rules. The electorate is largely incurious. And they are not, generally speaking, seeking enlightenment.

The Tower of Babel is back.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Jimmy & Joe

2024-01-15T11:00:00Z

The parallels between Jimmy Carter in January 1980 and Joe Biden 44 years later are spooky. Let's take a look.

President Carter could not get inflation under control, and his energy policies led to long lines at gas stations.

Under President Biden, prices for the essentials of life have risen 17 percent, a gallon of gas costs twice what it did.

Iran taunted Carter by holding 52 Americans hostage in Tehran for more than a year.

Today, Iranian surrogates cause massive damage in the Middle East.

Billy Carter, the President's brother, accepted $220,000 from Libya to "lobby." That would be close to a million dollars today.

We all know about Hunter Biden, who makes Billy look like a common pickpocket.

The national media continued to support Carter despite his dubious record because they loathed Ronald Reagan's conservative posture.

In 2024, the press remains solidly in President Biden's camp.

Reagan, of course, waxed Carter, leading to years of prosperity for the country. Jimmy was bitter when he left the White House, but history shows the voters made the correct choice, sending him back to Georgia.

This year, the nation is reliving 1980.

It's like a Time Machine.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The L Word

2024-01-12T14:49:00Z

One of the trends of campaign 2024 is calling your opponent "a liar." The media accuses Donald Trump of lying every hour of every day. And, to be truthful, the former president does exaggerate and mislead on a regular basis.

It's amusing to watch CNN and NBC employees act indignantly about Mr. Trump's verbiage when their guy, Joe Biden, could easily be hired as a spokesperson for the Whopper.

Have it your way, Joe.

"The border is secure" and the Afghanistan withdrawal was "excellent" are two of my personal favorites.

Now, I am not practicing " what aboutism," which is foolish and deceitful. I am simply reporting that politicians have raised false witness to record levels, and selective outrage is ridiculous.

If you watched the Nikki Haley-Ron DeSantis debate the other night, you saw the two go back and forth, hurling the L word at each other.

It was boring.

We are all living in a world where telling the truth is no longer a sign of character. Now, the end justifies the means. If lying gets results, then okay, let the deception begin.

That's the truth. So help me God.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Adios Chris Christie!

2024-01-11T08:00:00Z

Few were surprised by Chris Christie dropping out of the presidential primaries because he had no fan base.

I mean, who supported the former Jersey governor? His entire campaign was telling folks what a menace Donald Trump is. There are a few Republicans who rally to that, but not many.

So, from the jump, Christie had no shot.

The folks who liked Christie will probably go to Nikki Haley, who is a very long shot to defeat Mr. Trump. That might help Haley's profile in Iowa and New Hampshire.

She has plenty of money, and the corporate media has accepted her as useful in weakening the former president.

Ron DeSantis will likely get waxed in Iowa, and that will be it for him. He's out of money and time. However, his supporters should go to Trump rather than Hailey, who is not a culture warrior. DeSantis and Trump are.

American politics is a ruthless game, and we will see that demonstrated over the next ten months.

The upcoming campaign is impossible to predict. The easy stuff is almost over.

Chris Christie's departure is easy stuff.

See you tonight at six Eastern for the No Spin News.

Moving On

2024-01-10T08:00:00Z

Hopefully, we won't have to endure the liberal mantra of "we're losing our democracy" for much longer as January 6 recedes from view, at least on the calendar.

However, the Democrats don't have much else besides getting ready for The Third Reich if Trump wins the election. President Biden has failed on almost every issue.

That is the truth.

More truth. It is foolish for Donald Trump and his supporters to downplay the horrendous display three years ago in Washington.

Mob rule is lethal. Ashley Babbitt is a prime example. If citizens break the law as they did at the Capitol, there must be a reckoning.

The left has seized January 6 as its primary issue, but that's an absurd posture. The terrible destruction after George Floyd's death negates liberal outrage. Someone tell Kamala Harris.

There are extremists on both ideological sides, and they are the ones damaging democracy. More truth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden's Lone Visit

2024-01-09T16:17:00Z

Monday was the one year anniversary of President Biden's only visit to the besieged border. He stayed four hours. He did not hold a press conference.

My belief based on Mr. Biden's dreadful immigration policy is that he could not care less that more than ten million foreign nationals have swarmed across the border on his watch. I guess he sees himself as a humanitarian or something.

But what about the record amounts of narcotics also coming across the border? Is that humanitarian - hundreds of thousands of dead drug users?

The cold truth is that Joe Biden is incompetent. President Jimmy Carter was from 1976 to ' 80. Biden is far worse because the stakes are higher now.

Yet, if the election were held tomorrow, Biden would still get millions of votes.

Why? Because we have incompetent citizens, that's why?

See you for the No Spin News beginning at six this evening.

Helping Biden

2024-01-08T16:09:00Z

Not much January 6 media hysteria over the weekend, leaving me a bit surprised. The Capitol riot three years ago is pretty much all Joe Biden has on which to campaign. On economic and security issues, his poll numbers are brutal.

The national media desperately wants to help the President, so I thought they'd go crazy with the insurrection stuff. It was there but not overwhelming. Maybe because the Supreme Court will soon blow up the insurrection theory.

I did notice that an analyst for JP Morgan, Michael Chemblast, picked up my prediction that Joe Biden will pull out of the race. Mr. Chemblast believes that might happen after Super Tuesday in March. He goes on to say quitting for "medical" reasons would allow delegates to this summer's Democratic Convention to make the choice.

That's true.

I am standing by my analysis that Mr. Biden will walk away because I believe things will get worse for him, especially with Hunter and on the border.

Obviously, I could be wrong.

Obviously, I would not like that.

The best campaign coverage in the country continues this evening on the No Spin News.

Harvard's Problem

2024-01-05T12:00:00Z

Lost in the ideological brawl over Harvard President Claudine Gay is the strain on students at the historic Ivy League school.

In the mid-1990s, I attended Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, earning a Master's Degree in Public Administration. The school had a liberal faculty, but it was balanced by a number of military officers studying there, as well as foreign students.

I remember having some lively classroom debates where I learned a lot. In fact, the only ideological fanaticism on display came from the education majors who were solidly in Fidel Castro's corner.

My Harvard experience was A plus.

Obviously, things are different today as Harvard is ranked worst in the country in a study of free speech on campuses.

That falls right at the doorstep of former President Gay and her patrons on the board of directors. A number of Harvard students say they are terrified that their grades may be affected if they don't support progressive orthodoxy.

That's the most important issue here - diminishing college kids who dissent from woke or whatever. I mean, plagiarism is bad, but that's worse.

And that totalitarian cloak covers universities from coast to coast.

Has to stop.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Election Coverage Hurdles

2024-01-04T14:41:00Z

Covering the presidential election this year will be challenging as emotional lines are already drawn, and media organizations don't give a hoot about what is true or false.

Unfortunately, many Americans don't either. They want news agencies to root, root, root for the home team - that is their team.

Fox News has the most difficult road. Its programming is stridently anti-Biden. But FNC management does not want Trump. The producers and presenters know this and have to be careful.

MSNBC believes President Biden isn't liberal enough. Its parent, NBC News, isn't that extreme, but Trump remains the devil there.

CNN is back to where it was before it purged its leadership. Call it DLN - Devoted liberal network.

Here's a backup. On Tuesday, Wolf Blitzer introduced his legal team to talk about Trump being booted off Colorado and Maine ballots.

Here's the roster:

- Andrew McCabe, fired from the FBI for anti-Trump corruption.

- Marcus Childress, counsel for the hate Trump January 6 committee in the House.

- Carrie Cordero, who in May 2016 wrote a piece in a Law Journal saying Trump was unfit to run the government.

Nice balance, Wolf.

Lon Chaney, Jr. would be appalled.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Downfall of Claudine Gay

2024-01-03T12:00:00Z

So, what have we learned from the resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay? Much that's for sure.

Many Americans do not know how dominant the progressive left is at elite colleges. Dr. Gay could not bring herself to condemn violent antisemitic speech on campus, insisting on knowing "context."

Well, here's the context, lady. Some Harvard students think it's okay to kill Jews. Got it? Condemn it? Come on.

But it was not that idiocy that brought Ms. Gay down; it was plagiarism. She was using other people's research as her own. That's what really got her.

So, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion cabal loses a champion. But Claudine Gay will not be unemployed for long. Her woke brothers and sisters will surely take care of her.

But who will look out for the honest and fair-minded Harvard student? That is not at all clear.

Many campuses have devolved into totalitarian chaos. That... is a national tragedy.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden in 2024

2024-01-02T12:00:00Z

Good job, New York Post, listing the abysmal facts of President Biden's first three years in office. Here are a few.

- Consumer prices up 17 percent since Biden took office. Food is up 20 percent, rent is up 19, utilities are up 24.

These are necessities of life.

- About ten million foreign nationals have crossed into the USA under Biden.

- Overseas, two wars and China threatening a third one over Taiwan.

The New York Times, Washington Post, and the corporate TV News media mostly ignore what is likely the worst presidential performance in modern history.

The New York Post does have a problem, however, because its management does not like Donald Trump even though his presidential record is light-years better than Biden's.

Millions of Americans still support Biden because of Trump's dissatisfaction.

So that's where we are entering 2024.

Not a good place.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

O'Reilly Outlook 2024

2023-12-29T08:00:00Z

As we enter 2024, Americans will have to decide what kind of a country they want. We are in the middle of a social civil war that could go either way in November. If traditional voters prevail with a Republican majority in Congress and Donald Trump in the Oval Office, the following things are likely to happen.

- The President will continue to verbally attack his political and media enemies almost every day.

- Mr. Trump will immediately sign an executive order closing the southern border to immigration for an extended period.

- Trump will also sign another round of tax cuts while opening up federal land to fossil fuel production.

- As president, Mr. Trump will cut a deal with Putin to stop the fighting in Ukraine. Current boundaries will likely stay put.

- Universities that espouse DEI will lose government subsidies.

If the Democrats and President Biden continue in power, the border chaos will lessen a little, but millions of migrants will be granted residence in the USA for four more years. In addition ...

-Taxes will increase on corporations and the affluent.

- Record federal spending will also increase, as will government mandates on individual conduct to stem global warming.

- Social disorder will continue as criminals will be granted diversion sentences rather than prison.

- Drug use, including marijuana, will spike to record levels.

- Jihadists overseas will reconstitute, leading to a new wave of attacks spurred on by the Mullahs in Iran, who will continue developing nuclear weapons.

High consumer prices will remain, but that could very well be the case under Trump as well.

Of course, there is much more on both sides. But what you have read here will all happen depending on our political arc.

Happy New Year. Let's pray for our country.

Best election coverage in the world begins January 2 on BillOReilly.com.

No Diversity

2023-12-28T08:00:00Z

A study out of Syracuse University says just 3.4 percent of practicing journalists in the USA are Republicans. And the only reason the number is that high is Fox News. At the other agencies, the number of GOPers hovers around zero.

Why?

First, some disclosure. I am a registered Independent. In my experience, neither party serves the people the way they should. We need problem-solvers in this country, not party apparatchiks.

Right now, the Democratic Party is hurting the nation big time, so it's Republicans for me by default.

Socialism, open borders, timid foreign policy, and failure to stem social disorder are bad things. Legalized pot is stupid. Unfettered abortion is amazingly immoral. Being pro-criminal and anti-cop is insane.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are ruining the American higher education system.

Democrats support all of the above.

We have returned to 1860 when the Democratic Party despised Abraham Lincoln's anti-slavery posture. A rational, compassionate, patriotic person would have had a hard time defending Democrats back then.

History will eventually show a similar situation as we approach 2024: a weak, feckless president doing the bidding of the radical left.

And journalists are fine with that because of one tired cliche: "Don't ... Bite ... The ... Hand ... That ... Feeds ... You."

Media companies are run by liberal boards as well as managers. And if you're a Republican, they don't want you.

That will drive down"diversity" every time.

Hope you are enjoying the season.

Border Apathy

2023-12-27T08:00:00Z

As President Biden travels to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands for more rest and relaxation, another migrant caravan is heading to the southern border; 15,000 strong.

As a historian, I have never seen a president so apathetic and derelict in his duty to protect the nation as Mr. Biden has been on immigration policy.

As I have stated too many times, the President has the power to sign an executive order suspending asylum petitions due to the legal system being overwhelmed; the backlog is now in the millions.

That order would mean no foreign national could legally cross the border without credentials for admittance. Every person confronted by U.S. border authorities would be sent back to Mexico.

But Biden will not do that because his progressive masters would object. The open border people are doing tremendous damage to this country, and the President is fine with that.

This may sound harsh, but any American supporting the progressive vision of massive public disorder should be ashamed.

Joe Biden is a terrible president, and it doesn't matter who might run against him.

He's a disaster, and that's that.

We are warming up for the new year and will see everyone on Tuesday. Daily messages will continue for the rest of the week.

Baby Boomers

2023-12-26T08:00:00Z

There are about 68 million baby boomers roaming around America right now, most of them aging rapidly. From 1946 to 1964, boomers dominated the USA, being born in staggering numbers, especially right after World War II when marriage and families ruled.

I am happy to be a boomer because I have seen modern history unfold right before my eyes with television and, today, the internet. I mean, think about it. In 1910, there wasn't much going on, and life was hard. Outdoor relief houses, anyone?

However, I will admit that many boomers have caught the entitlement virus and believe they should be exempt from life's "challenges," like getting old. This might be why Madonna has turned her face into a creamsicle.

Aging is part of the "journey," boomer Dr. Phil might say, which is why I don't listen to him. I want reality, not wisdom from a fortune cookie.

So here it is. Senior citizens are smarter than their kids and grandkids just because they've "been through it." If boomers stop thinking about themselves morning to night - they might volunteer to help people out. Use their remaining time not going to the spa three days a week but improving the country a little at a time.

I understand Jane Fonda still looks good in her 80s, and good for her. Those long-ago work out tapes came through. But regular boomers are subject to circumstances beyond their control which means the three dreaded words: old, older, and coffin.

However, as the song goes, "don't fear the reaper;" just be smart and pile up some good deeds before you meet him. Because you never know what's waiting for you in the next place where credit cards are no longer accepted.

The great spa in the sky.

A Christmas Message

2023-12-25T08:00:00Z

Christmas 2023 is descending on an America that is now secularized in a vivid way. Churchgoing is continuing to decline, the Democratic Party champions abortion with no limits, and the corporate media gleefully demonizes the devout.

Now, part of this is organized religion's own fault. There are few dynamic religious leaders in this country, as fear has largely stifled public displays of faith. Outside of Catholic Bishop Robert Barron, clerics of all faiths are largely invisible to the public. They don't want any trouble in the cancel culture age.

More than two thousand years ago, a poor stone-cutter set off to preach a radical new theology, one that demanded human beings love other people as much as they love themselves.

No hatred, no division, no miscommunication. We are compelled by Jesus of Nazareth to do everything we can, short of personal destruction, to peacefully assist others - especially those in need.

That philosophy is what Christmas celebrates, but you'll rarely hear Christian tenets in the public square. Somehow, recognition of personal responsibility is vanishing beneath the weight of selfishness and callow pursuits.

My take is that the Nazarene may want to make another visit in some dramatic way. The world desperately needs him.

Merry Christmas.

The Meaning of Christmas

2023-12-21T16:23:00Z

So it is Christmas time in America, but no longer does the occasion unite us. Today, our ferociously secular society driven by the woke media basically ignores the actual reason we celebrate Christmas.

To refresh, it's to honor the man who brought Christianity to the world. That man was Jesus of Nazareth, an observant Jew who lived more than 2,000 years ago in Galilee.

The Christian philosophy that Jesus articulated is simple: love your creator, God, and love your neighbor as yourself. That core tenet has made Christianity the most powerful movement in history despite a myriad of distortions coming from dissenters as well as corruption inside the Christian community itself.

Man is imperfect, to say the least.

In 1870, President Grant declared the calendar birth of Jesus, December 25, a federal holiday so everyone could get a day of rest and relaxation, even atheists.

Jesus would have wanted it that way because he loved everyone equally.

And one final thing. If every person had the strength and motivation of the Nazarene, this world would be far more peaceful and prosperous.

Merry Christmas.

Totalitarian Ruling

2023-12-20T16:26:00Z

Unfortunately, the Colorado Supreme Court has ruled 4 to 3 that Donald Trump cannot be on that state's presidential ballot. This is a totalitarian decision that besmirches the state forever.

The judges ruled that the former president took part in an "insurrection" on January 6 and, therefore, is not eligible for political office.

But Mr. Trump has not been convicted of anything, so the court is abrogating his due process rights, which is unconstitutional and possibly a criminal action. In the USA, you are innocent until PROVEN guilty. That applies to the radical leftists masquerading as honest officers of the court in Colorado.

Judges cannot just convict a person of anything. The Colorado Supreme Court is violating Donald Trump's rights, and its abhorrent decision will be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The larger problem is a growing trend by leftist judges and prosecutors to simply ignore the Constitution. That is dangerous. Yes, the right to appeal is there but the massive expense to fight totalitarian rulings aids the corrupt forces.

In the end, Donald Trump will be on the ballot in Colorado and the 49 other states.

Wait and see.

And I will see you tonight for the No Spin News.

Biden Masochism

2023-12-19T16:31:00Z

A new Monmouth University poll says President Biden's job approval rating now stands at 34 percent. In truth, the Monmouth poll is a bit sketchy based on past numbers, but there is no question Mr. Biden is imploding.

Keeping it pithy, here's why.

- Folks are paying much more for essentials and recreation than they did when Donald Trump was President.

- Most Americans understand Biden's open border policy is a disaster for the country.

- The President has enabled his troubled son Hunter to amass millions of dollars.

- Mr. Biden continues to deny any responsibility for the Hunter situation.

- On Biden's watch, the rise of public disorder in the nation's large cities is horrifying. The President remains silent on the issue.

- Joe Biden spends more tax dollars than any president in history with little to show for it.

- Overseas, there is chaos almost everywhere.

I could list many more deficits and not even mention Joe Biden's age.

So, when you think about it, the 34 percent that still supports President Biden is a really astounding number.

Masochism anyone?

See you this evening for the No Spin News!

Nikki Haley Fights Back

2023-12-18T16:26:00Z

A new CBS poll shows Donald Trump running away with the Iowa caucus vote but Nikki Haley gaining in New Hampshire, a state not historically friendly to the former president.

ABC News correspondent Jon Karl, who despises Trump and wrote a negative book about him, drew the assignment to interview Ambassador Haley. But all Karl wanted Haley to do was bash Trump, not explain her political outlook.

So, Ms. Haley called Karl on it, saying to his face that he's obsessed with Trump and can't stop trying to diminish him.

Which is absolutely true. Good for Nikki Haley.

Karl sputtered after being called out, but he is not alone. The media hysteria over Donald Trump is actually getting worse, if you can believe it.

The coming presidential campaign will be embarrassing as the corporate media will destroy any semblance of actual reporting in order to attack Trump.

The vitriol will reach record levels. But we will not participate. Keep it right here for honest coverage of what will be the most important election in our lifetimes.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Endgame for the Bidens'

2023-12-15T14:42:00Z

As we reported on Thursday's No Spin News, Hunter Biden could very well bring down his father, the President. At this point, the influence-peddling of the Bidens is undeniable, with tens of millions of dollars enriching the family.

No known services were provided to secure that money.

Now, Hunter has defied a congressional subpoena and should face even more criminal charges for doing so. Trump associate Steve Bannon was convicted of a federal crime for doing exactly what Hunter Biden did on Thursday.

Even worse than the defiance is President Biden's apparent approval of it. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre clearly stated that Joe Biden knew what Hunter was going to do and say.

How can this be? The President of the United States standing mute while his son blatantly commits a crime?

Remember, all Hunter had to do was attend the deposition and use the Fifth Amendment to stand down.

I believe the endgame has begun for the Biden administration. The country understands the grifting situation and that, combined with the border, higher prices for essentials, and the President's physical and mental decline, will make it impossible for him to continue in office much longer.

It will not be a joyous Christmas season at the White House.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Hunter's Move

2023-12-14T08:00:00Z

So now the House Committees investigating the Biden family finances have a formalized inquiry secured by a majority vote. That means that failure to cooperate with Oversight and Judiciary can incur substantial criminal penalties, including jail time.

Hello, Hunter Biden, who brazenly defied a congressional subpoena on Wednesday.

Trump guy Steve Bannon did the same thing. The FBI arrested him; the Justice Department prosecuted; Bannon is appealing his four-month prison sentence.

The same thing happened to another Trump person, Peter Navarro, who's appealing as well.

So Attorney General Merrick Garland will have to charge the Hunter monster, correct? How can Garland dodge that?

If there's a way, old Merrick will find it.

But there's a good chance the FBI will have to cuff Hunter. Of course, we won't see that. It will be done on the sly.

But what a colossal embarrassment for the United States: the son of a sitting president disrespecting Congress, apparently with his father's approval.

Finally, not one House Democrat voted to explore exactly how tens of millions of dollars found their way to the Biden family. Not one.

Stunning.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Real Scandal

2023-12-13T12:00:00Z

Here's a scandal few will even notice. Yesterday, in the Biden-Zelensky press conference, which was weak, to say the least, a reporter from the leftist Reuters news agency asked President Biden two questions. The first is about whether Donald Trump would sell out Ukraine if elected, and the second is about how brutal Israel is in Gaza.

Obviously, baiting left-wing inquires.

But here's the scandal. Biden read the answers to those questions off a sheet of paper in front of him. That means he was prepared; he knew the questions in advance. That was the reason he called on the little-known reporter Trevor Hunnicutt.

The above analysis is my opinion, but I don't expect anyone to challenge it. I will show the exchange on television, and there is no doubt about what happened.

For an honest journalist, the whole thing is revolting. You do not submit questions in advance, ever. But press standards have dropped so low in the USA that this kind of corruption happens all the time, and there's little pushback.

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out the media fix is in whenever Joe Biden is involved. Again, this is not the way an independent press is supposed to act.

This is not what freedom of the press is all about.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Righting Wrongs

2023-12-12T08:00:00Z

Far-left college campuses are being scrutinized because of the Israel-Hamas conflict, and that's a good thing. For almost a decade, progressive zealots have called the shots in far too many academic situations.

Now, the lunacy is being challenged.

However, a surgical approach should be used when talking about specific people and places. General condemnation is a useless exercise.

Fox News commentator Pete Hegseth says he is sending back his Harvard degree, totally repudiating the school.

That's certainly Pete's right to do, but I am not along for this ride. I am proud of my Harvard Masters Degree, as I learned a lot there and met some excellent people.

Granted, Harvard is far more radical now than it was in 1995 when I was in Cambridge. But that doesn't negate my experience.

Likewise, Marist College where I received a degree in history, my experience there was incredibly positive; the school gave a working-class guy like me a number of academic and athletic opportunities.

Today, the Poughkeepsie, New York campus is woke and full of ridiculous radical instructors and administrators. I hate what's happened there, but I respect my experience.

Life is like that. Things change. All we can do is try to right the wrongs.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Haley's Advantage

2023-12-11T08:00:00Z

A new poll from the Wall Street Journal says if Nikki Haley wins the Republican nomination, she would beat President Biden by 14 points. Donald Trump is four ahead, and Ron DeSantis ties Mr. Biden.

The poll is simply a snapshot but demonstrates a few important things. Because Ambassador Haley is not controversial, she polls well among non-political Americans who reject Mr. Trump's demeanor and don't really care how he governs.

But committed Republicans continue to overwhelmingly back the former president because they perceive Ms. Haley as an establishment politician who will not aggressively challenge the ingrained liberal system in Washington.

There are far more casual voters in this country than engaged Americans. If you add up all the folks who watch television news, it is a small segment of the population. On cable news in prime time, you're paid millions if you can get just two million viewers to watch you.

Chances are Ambassador Haley will not get the nomination, and since Trump does not like her, she will not run as his second.

But Ms. Haley would absolutely trounce Joe Biden next November. And both Biden and Trump should figure out why.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

School Shame

2023-12-08T08:00:00Z

So now the House of Representatives is launching an investigation targeting colleges that do not protect students from harm. This is because of the pitiful testimony by the presidents of Penn, MIT, and Harvard about antisemitism on their campuses.

Instead of being outraged that Jewish students have to endure threats and diminishment, the three female presidents tried to tamp down dangerous rhetoric by hiding behind the First Amendment.

The revealing exposition reminded me of the Duke rape case in 2006, when a group of college lacrosse players were accused of abusing a black female. You'll remember due process was crushed as left-wing zealots convicted the student-athletes almost immediately, demanding a crackdown on male behavior everywhere.

Of course, when it was demonstrated that the charges were false, few apologies were forthcoming. Many on the left were deeply disappointed the lacrosse players were not guilty.

With the current antisemitism situation visible to all, it is amazing the three college presidents played it down. Had the antisemitism come from neo-Nazis, they certainly would not have.

But the abusers here are fanatical progressives and that makes all the difference to the college leadership, at least at these three schools.

You don't disown your own.

New column on Sunday.

Swift Response

2023-12-07T08:00:00Z

Just hours after singer Taylor Swift was named Person of the Year by Time Magazine, a hateful internet person began with the skin color stuff. Ms. Swift is just a white "tool," that kind of garbage.

It didn't take long for the bias virus to spread to a variety of media sites, which is where I saw it.

So when are the haters going to have their day in the court of public opinion? When will decent people condemn the skin color racket and demand the media stop promoting it?

I cannot answer that question, but I can say that you can vilify white people in America pretty much without consequence.

Taylor Swift is an extraordinary story on a number of levels, none of which have anything to do with the color of her skin. A middle-class teenager from Pennsylvania became the most successful entertainer in the world before her 33rd birthday. That's extraordinary.

Her music brings joy to millions. She earned the Time award and doesn't deserve to be denigrated because she's Caucasian.

Does she?

To you cyberspace savages, the answer is no to that question.

Racism comes in all colors, a perverse rainbow coalition. Yet, in America today, there is no sanction for those who insult and castigate white citizens. Our society rightly and legally protects minority Americans from hatred.

However, millions are denied those protections.

Brutally wrong. Incredibly divisive.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Doing Damage

2023-12-06T08:00:00Z

One of the harrowing stories in my book "Killing the Witches" is the modern-day destruction of former ESPN tennis analyst Doug Adler. In 2017, he described Venus Williams as using "guerrilla tactics" during the Australian Open, meaning she had a hit-and-run style.

Presto, internet reports popped up saying Adler called Ms. Williams a "Gorilla." The man was fired and, shortly after that, suffered a heart attack.

Doug Adler is the victim of the odious witch hunt underway in America.

This week, another false story on social media. It said that demoted New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson was refusing to play this upcoming Sunday.

The report was all over the place, mocking the young man in a variety of cruel ways. Nobody checked the story; they just put it out there.

Now we learn the report is false. Too late for Zach Wilson.

Internet assassins are not held accountable and could not care less about "the truth." A stream of tobacco juice is more worthy than what they spit out.

The nation's corporate media often picks up the net garbage, and there is no accountability there either. So what? We destroyed some human beings. Tough luck.

Evil, that's what the Salem thing was. And that's what is happening now.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Bad Virtue

2023-12-05T08:00:00Z

Had enough of virtue signaling? Out of control situation. After some hateful Congresswoman would not address Hamas raping Israeli women, the TV pundits couldn't get the outrage out fast enough.

Although blanket Hamas condemnation should be a given, it is not, so where's the criticism of progressives on that? The corporate media has enabled far-left fanatics for years. Now, the enabling is on full antisemitic display across the country.

MSNBC's entire business model is coddling and promoting the progressive agenda. America is bad. Cops are bad. Criminals are victims of a racist society. All abortion is noble. Skin color, not merit, should dictate outcomes. White men are evil. Pot is good. On and on and on.

The progressive movement believes Israel is a fascist country that practices genocide or some such stupidity. So, as Susan Sarandon put forth, they are tasting Hamas' medicine.

Appalling doesn't even come close. But this garbage has been going on for years. Maybe you virtue-signalers might want to point that out.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

NYC Madness

2023-12-04T08:00:00Z

As a born and bred New Yorker, I have gone through bad and good times in the nation's largest city. With more than eight million residents, some believe Gotham is ungovernable, but they are wrong.

However, right now, the city is on the verge of anarchy after ten years of far-left governance. Hundreds of thousands of high earners have already packed up, mostly replaced by poor people who do not pay much in taxes.

On Saturday, I drove into the city from my home. It took me almost two hours to travel 21 miles. All city streets and avenues were blocked, and there was absolutely no traffic control. Intersections were blocked by drivers breaking the law as hundreds of cyclists wove in and out of traffic creating extremely dangerous situations. If a car hits a cyclist or jaywalker, you are sued. And you will lose.

I've been to extremely chaotic cities like Saigon and Cairo. New York is now worse. The civil and criminal systems have completely collapsed. No one is in charge; quality of life has plummeted as miscreants run wild.

At this point, it would almost take Martial Law to gain control of Gotham. And with far-left politicians running the city as well as the state, nothing is going to get better.

They say if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, and that's still true. But one look at New York City's madness begs this question: Why would anyone want to make it here?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Debating

2023-12-01T16:43:00Z

The frustrating part of all debates, including the DeSantis-Newsom extravaganza, is that the politicians throw out phony stats. Newsom says Biden is doing a great job economically when working Americans are paying $12,000 a year more for essentials than they did under Trump. It's a stone fact, but Newsom will not acknowledge it.

Nothing anyone can do.

DeSantis is rightly outraged that the California Governor will not acknowledge that his state has lost more residents than any other state. Newsom's reply is that more Floridians have migrated to California than vice versa. Well, so what?

The Golden State has lost more than a million people since 2019. Florida has gained a half million.

DeSantis holds the higher ground on policy, but many liberals, including Newsom, will never cede that.

So, in the end, nothing much is accomplished.

One-on-one interviews are the only way to hold politicians accountable. Debating is entertaining at times but not illuminating.

Have a nice weekend. New column on Sunday.

Hannity's Debate

2023-11-30T08:00:00Z

The television debate between Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and California's Governor Gavin Newsom is interesting. Put together by Sean Hannity, the discussion pits a successful state, Florida, against a troubled state, California.

Some stats, courtesy of The Wall Street Journal, reveal jobs in the Golden State have decreased by 85,000 since 2019.

In Florida, jobs have increased by more than one million, obviously a huge improvement over California.

Between 2019 to 22, the Sunshine State gained more than one million residents.

California lost almost 750,000.

Taxes per resident are twice as high in California.

So, economically, Florida is good, and California is not so good.

Newsome is glib and will spin the data. DeSantis is not as verbally agile, but articulating his success should not be that difficult.

Doesn't really matter because fair-minded Americans know the truth: progressive policies hurt regular folks. No question.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Simple Man

2023-11-29T15:23:00Z

As you guys know, I am a simple man. Therefore, my questions are based on basic curiosity. Recently, I have been musing about the following:

President Biden says he is a deficit cutter. Why, then, is the federal debt increasing at a record rate, 6 trillion dollars so far under Joe? Math, anyone?

Some progressives believe America is a racist country. Why, then, do African-American married couples with children earn a median of $95,000 yearly? Strong number.

Former presidential candidate John Kerry is Biden's climate change czar. So why does he fly on private jets all over the place?

Dolly Parton is 77 years old but looks as good in the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading outfit as a 23-year-old. To paraphrase the movie "When Harry Met Sally," I'll have what Dolly's having.

Why didn't Donald Trump order the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel investigation after election fraud charges surfaced? That first happened on President Trump's watch.

And finally, Taylor Swift is the most popular entertainer in the world. But is there a man who can name one of her songs? Please send me his name.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Misguided Approval

2023-11-28T08:00:00Z

As the border becomes even more out of control and the cost of essentials continues to hammer working Americans, one wonders who exactly is approving of President Biden's job performance.

Well, that crew is made up of those who basically are invested emotionally with the President, satisfied that he defeated Donald Trump. Everything else, including personal safety, is secondary.

About 80 million Americans voted for Joe Biden mainly because they despise Trump. Old Joe has never offered any problem-solving ideas or even showed concern over the suffering his idiotic policies have caused. Biden throws tax dollars at everything and then walks away to take a nap.

Hate is a more powerful emotion than love. It's tough to say that, but it's true. And Biden was elected primarily by the hate Trump people.

But that will not be enough in 2024. The President's record is so horrendous that even Jimmy Carter looks brilliant by comparison.

The old saying is - stranger things have happened. But that won't cut it next November.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Youth Movement

2023-11-27T08:00:00Z

My son is playing lacrosse for Oxford in England, and recently, his team was warming up to play Cardiff, a Welsh team. He has "O'Reilly" on the back of his jersey, and a few Cardiff players noticed. After the match, which Oxford won, they approached him and asked if he is related to Bill O'Reilly.

After mulling it over, he said he was and asked how they knew me. The Cardiff players replied: "We all watch him on YouTube."

Very encouraging.

We deliver a tight, honest news package four days a week, as you know. The more younger people who see it, the better it is for the world.

My analysis is fact-based and traditional, as it has been for almost 30 years. Over that time, the progressive left has made deep inroads in the media and on college campuses. One size fits all as long as that size lionizes the hard left.

There are some counters to that, but not many. Many colleges all over the world are totalitarian; tow the liberal line, or you're out.

In the media, well-funded leftist operations are poised to destroy any traditional/conservative who grows too influential. The current brawl between the odious Media Matters and Elon Musk is a vivid example.

So, I am encouraged by the reach of BillOReilly.com because at least another side is being heard, especially by young people. And I fully expect as we grow, the totalitarians will step up their attacks on us.

We're ready.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Being Thankful

2023-11-24T08:00:00Z

But I value American traditions like Thanksgiving and July 4th.

I hope you do, too.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2023-11-23T17:27:00Z

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Pre-Thanksgiving Message

2023-11-22T17:49:00Z

Simple communication today, enjoy the Thanksgiving break, and take a little time to think about the positive things in your life. We Irish Americans have a tendency to dwell on the negatives, but balance is imperative for a smart life.

And on the subject of the negative, I talked about the Elon Musk lawsuit with Chris Cuomo last night, as well as Susan Sarandon's cancellation in Hollywood. We've posted it. Worth a look.

Finally, a huge positive is our Christmas store. We'll save you money and aggravation. Have fun, be nice, and please check in with us throughout the holiday.

Pre-Thanksgiving Special

2023-11-22T08:25:00Z

Tonight on BillOReilly.com, we present another of our 'Shock and Awe' specials. The culture in America has and is changing.

Whether it's cancel culture or the woke agenda, Americans are now facing a different country than in the past. We'll discuss this with Victor Davis Hanson and Dr. Ben Chavis.

Bad Cable

2023-11-21T15:37:00Z

Tried to watch a bit of cable news yesterday but couldn't get engrossed. Late afternoon programs, languid pacing, nothing new on the fact front.

Not going to mention the anchors because disparaging comments get us nowhere. I will tell you I sampled CNN and Fox News.

CNN was doing presidential politics, but the panel, that network loves panels, had nothing new. Biden's in trouble, Trump's Hitler. The usual.

On Fox, it was Gaza. This might happen. Wait, that could occur. What about the hostages? On and on. Not a learning experience.

The other day, I looked up my ratings on the O'Reilly Factor for the first quarter of 2017. In the ages 25 to 54 demographic, I delivered more than 700,000 viewers at 8 pm. Now the delivery is around 240,000.

That's obviously a big drop. The other cable outlets are far lower. The primary reason is predictably, nobody wants to get into trouble with all the cancel culture surveillance out there.

To succeed on the national level, TV performers must have a bit of daring in them; they must be willing to shake things up.

Not happening these days, at least not much.

And so the once Golden Goose is dead and buried. Nothing lasts forever, with the possible exception of boring television.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Media Corruption

2023-11-20T16:55:00Z

Ordinarily, if something happens that might change a presidential race, the news agencies would cover the story aggressively.

But this is America, and the corporate media is incredibly corrupt, so that's not happening.

As I wrote in a column on BillOReilly.com, Senator Joe Manchin is teasing a third-party run against Joe Biden and Donald Trump. If that happens, and it might, say goodbye to President Biden.

And that's why there is little media coverage - the national press favors Biden because it despises Trump more than anything. Manchin could help the former president get back to the Oval Office; therefore, he must be ignored and, down the road, attacked.

According to the polls, most Democrats want a challenger to Biden. Presto, Joe Manchin. He's a moderate Dem who well understands the havoc the Biden Administration has wrecked. He'd get some votes from former Biden supporters plus the Republican "never Trump" crew.

The never-Trumpers are a small part of the GOP, heavily outnumbered by the Dem "Joe has to go, crowd."

The math could give Mr. Trump a significant advantage.

But you will not likely hear that from the media.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Bad Optics

2023-11-17T08:00:00Z

So now we learn that no charges will be filed against President Biden for taking classified material as Vice-President. Special Counsel Robert Hur, no relation to Ben, spent almost a year "investigating" and says Joe is clean even though VPs have no legal standing to remove any classified information while a president does.

Here's my question: Anyone surprised?

The answer is no, by the way.

At least the United States Justice Department is consistent. Democrats have immunity. But watch out, Republican people.

Don't want to be cynical, but come on. Hillary destroys evidence, and Joe has classified documents next to his Corvette, but that's okay.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has to spend millions defending himself after document charges are filed against him.

Optics, anyone?

Even if it isn't true, at least half the country believes the federal government is incredibly corrupt. Even the corrupt media believes that, but they won't say it because, well, they're corrupt.

It all makes the United States look like Nicaragua or someplace.

Maybe if Congressman George Santos changes parties, they won't boot him out of the House.

I'm sure he wishes he thought of that.

Have a good weekend. New column Sunday morning.

Sudden Disaster

2023-11-16T16:22:00Z

All of us have experienced a sudden disaster, something bad that occurs out of nowhere. Who saw the savage Hamas attack coming? How about the death of Matthew Perry? More than 100,000 deaths from drug overdoses will happen this year in America. None of those poor souls thought their conduct would strike them down in an instant.

Some disasters like substance abuse can be avoided, but most so-called "acts of God" cannot. We are at the mercy of a universe no one can understand.

So, we have to prepare for disaster even if it never arrives, which is doubtful. Americans must put aside enough money to protect themselves from injury and health maladies. We should not be dependent on others for economic survival.

This forward-thinking self-reliance is largely rejected by the progressive philosophy. There, individual protections like weapons and financial independence are bad. Faith should be put in government to help and protect you.

Unbelievably foolish.

But progressives now control the White House, and much of the culture, and millions of young people are buying in.

Ironically, that will lead to certain disasters down the road.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

All the Cards

2023-11-15T08:00:00Z

The problem with the very important Biden/Xi meeting today in San Francisco is that the Chinese dictator is far more alert than the American leader. As former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told me, Xi is brilliant but totally without emotion. "Dead eyes" is how Pompeo described him.

Mr. Biden is the ceremonial head of the United States, but complicated global strategy is beyond his mental capacity. Secretary of State Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will articulate the American positions, not the President.

Xi knows Biden is weak. That's why he floated the spy balloons over the USA earlier this year; he wanted to gauge the reaction. There was little from Biden, who wants to avoid any confrontation not only with the Chinese but also with Iran.

The cards the USA does hold are economic. China needs our marketplace to sell its cheaply made stuff. That's the chip we have.

The Communist Chinese leadership is brutal and sees America as its primary world opponent. Negotiations with these killers will be extremely difficult. But they must happen.

All Americans should wish there was someone stronger sitting on our side of the table.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Street Cleaning

2023-11-14T06:03:00Z

As we predicted, the city of San Francisco is finally driving out the legion of drug addicts living on the streets. That's because President Xi of China is meeting with President Biden on Wednesday in the city by the bay.

The Chinese Communists already know about the depravity embraced by San Francisco politicians in the name of compassion or something. Beijing has a consul in town.

And the far-left people who run SF feel no urgency to clean up the town for the benefit of residents - nope - they wouldn't do that.

But once the federal government ordered the city to enforce zoning laws, presto! Thousands of street dwellers moved on. If San Francisco refused the Biden administration's request, many grants would be in jeopardy.

Of course, the addicts will be back as soon as Xi and the other Asian leaders depart. It's very easy to live the drug life in San Francisco.

No problem at all.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Losing Control

2023-11-13T16:01:00Z

At this point in history, President Biden has lost control of the executive process, and that is not likely to improve.

Two vivid examples make the case which is indisputable. The open border has placed an enormous financial burden on cities and states, and now, thousands more migrants are marching toward Texas.

In addition, the millions coming into the USA present a security nightmare.

Mr. Biden could suspend all asylum requests, something most responsible presidents would do. He refuses to even attempt to solve the problem.

The second situation may very well end in the President's impeachment in the House. There is no question that Hunter and Jim Biden sold influence to foreign concerns using Joe Biden's name. Again, this is beyond a reasonable doubt.

Yet the President denies any impropriety and will not even acknowledge the scheme. History will not be kind.

To me, Mr. Biden is delusional and deeply out of touch with reality. America is suffering because of that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Intense Election Coverage

2023-11-10T16:13:00Z

We are gearing up for intense election coverage, and 2024 presents a problem for this news analyst. I am on record as believing President Biden is doing enormous damage to the country, and his party is largely cheering him on. So, the no spin deck is stacked against the progressive policies that Mr. Biden foolishly promotes.

Of course, we back our opinions with facts, and, unlike other administrations, there are not two sides to the dismal story.

On Biden's watch, border security has collapsed, home mortgage rates and inflation both have more than doubled, and violence and drug addiction plague the land.

Biden has no solutions other than to spend more tax dollars on fantasies.

The problem is that Republicans don't have much either, and the party is disorganized. Donald Trump will most likely be the nominee, but he brings division with him. However, Trump's record is so much stronger than Biden's; it's like the Kansas City Chiefs playing Ridgemont High.

We will bring you honest coverage over the next 12 months; no propaganda here.

But it will be a challenge.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Pretty Much Over

2023-11-09T16:30:00Z

There was a Republican presidential debate last night, but it was up against the Country Music Awards, so I guess we know where most viewers went.

Years ago, I presented a CMA along with the late Naomi Judd, a nice woman who succeeded despite a chaotic upbringing. I always admire that.

Anyway, it's not the GOP contenders' fault that the campaign is pretty much over already. Donald Trump is a force of nature who appeals to conservative Republicans on a very emotional level.

That, combined with Trump's economic success while in office, as well as his skill at controlling overseas villains, makes him a lock for the Republican nomination.

And, so, the country will be intensely divided once more.

Donald Trump could be re-elected if he brings it down a bit. He has a record to run on in contrast to President Biden, whose policies have failed in a major way.

That's what Mr. Trump should concentrate on, not the last election. It's in the books, and that's that.

It's the future of America that matters most to voters. So, let's get back to the future.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Progressive Anger

2023-11-08T16:08:00Z

Violent protesters generally got away with looting and other criminal acts after the death of George Floyd. Even the anarchists inside ANTIFA were not held to account as they assaulted police and destroyed property.

Americans saw radical organizations like Black Lives Matter achieve power and big money by embracing violence.

Younger Americans, in particular, got the message.

So, it is that progressive radicals have transferred their anger from white society to the state of Israel. Oppression is oppression, right? Blacks in America, Palestinians in Gaza.

The solution: blow up the status quo.

That's what these pro-Hamas demonstrations on campuses are all about - fighting the power. Jews are powerful. They must be confronted even with violence.

That's beyond stupid, of course. But so is burning down a bodega in the name of "justice."

There are supposed to be educators to guide and inform the naive and ill-informed who inhabit universities. But that takes courage, which is in short supply in this age of cancellation.

And without courageous opposition - the crazed mob can do grave damage.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden Blitz

2023-11-07T16:07:00Z

With the weak polling for President Biden, the nation can expect a political blitz over the next few weeks. The strategy will be delivered in two ways. First, Mr. Biden will do a round of friendly interviews touting his "vast success." And second, his media allies will begin "breaking" more Trump scandal stories.

Expect to see anything and everything on the "get Trump" front. With the primaries beginning in January, the air will be filled with suspicion and allegation.

The Trump attacks will have to be sensational and personal. Classified documents and dubious real estate transactions are not going to damage him.

I also expect Joe Biden will be completely exonerated in the classified documents case by special prosecutor Robert Hur. Meanwhile, Trump will face a federal courtroom in a similar situation.

The unexpected, however, can visit Biden as the House Committees investigating Hunter's cash infusion will not stand down.

This is like the over-under in NFL betting. No question, the mud-slinging will be over the top as the press is salivating.

But Biden's underwhelming performance may seal his doom.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Downturn

2023-11-06T16:10:00Z

Bad times for the Biden movement. One of its major boosters, The New York Times, is out with a poll that says the President is falling behind Donald Trump in some close states.

That shouldn't be a surprise as world disorder is dominating the news cycle even as "real wages" are falling in the USA.

Sprinkle in a growing massive federal debt and the Biden-engineered open border, and the picture becomes bleaker than CNN's ratings.

The only thing Joe Biden has going for him is Trump hatred. That's it. Nothing else.

Republicans would be foolish, however, to celebrate the administration's misfortunes. Things can turn quickly in the internet age, and we can expect the corporate media to warp speed into save the Democrats mode.

But with about a year until the election, the momentum is already against the oldest President in history.

Full Context

2023-11-03T15:29:00Z

It's getting weirder. Now, Andrew Bates, a Biden communications guy, is complaining in an email to Fox News about Jesse Watters. And it's not something Watters said about Mr. Biden. No. Bates is objecting to comments on The Five describing what Watters believes is bad behavior by some Arabs.

Apparently, the White House is worried about "Islamophobia." Okay. Hating Arabs is not a noble position. But let's use some context here. Jesse Watters believes the USA is not deriving much benefit from helping the Middle East. His opinion. Why does the White House care?

Ahhhhh. That's the question.

It cares because FNC is driving the Hunter/Joe Biden money story. Along with Newsmax, Fox News is covering every inch of that situation. So, the Biden administration is not happy and is seeking to marginalize the network with accusations of bigotry.

As Beauty and the Beast sang: "a tale as old as time."

Generalizing about any group is usually lazy. But I wrote an entire book about bad Arabs entitled "Killing the Killers." The book examined America's war on terror. All the villains are Arabs.

But not all Arabs are villains. Context is important.

Watters and Bates are both entitled to their views. Watters gets paid for that.

I'm not really sure what Andrew Bates gets paid for.

Enjoy the weekend.

The Harsh Truth

2023-11-02T15:13:00Z

The current brawl over Hamas attacking Israel is a worldwide basket of contention. At the heart of it is violence reaped upon innocent people. But deciding exactly who is "innocent" is extremely difficult.

The civilians murdered by Hamas in early October certainly were victims. As were those murdered on 9/11. No debate; that's the truth.

But what about the Palestinian voters who have embraced the terrorists and rejected the more rational Palestinian Authority?

Support for Hamas in Gaza is almost 60 percent. Are those who enable terrorism innocent? No, they are not.

In Afghanistan, the brutal Taliban regained power because individual Afghani citizens did not stand against them. This despite twenty years of American support.

Do I feel sorry for the average Afghani? No, I do not.

Back home, in the state of Illinois, fanatical leftist J. B. Pritzker was elected Governor in 2019. Despite incredible violence in Chicago, Pritzker has made things worse by championing an insane no-bail law.

Hundreds of thousands are moving out of Illinois, and I feel bad for them. But not for the folks who back J. B., which stands for "just bad."

There comes a point where people get the government they deserve.

Harsh but true.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Leftovers

2023-11-01T07:00:00Z

With Mike Pence waving goodbye to the presidential sweepstakes, only four Republicans remain credible in challenging Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. Let's analyze one by one.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has the resume but lacks personal charisma and media awareness. He is running Florida well, as evidenced by the multitudes of people moving there. At first, DeSantis seemed viable, but that has faded. He lacks the ability to engage folks on television, a vital campaign necessity.

Former South Carolina Governor and Ambassador to the UN Nicki Haley does have a whiff of momentum because she's articulate and knowledgeable. No question. But she's also a bit imperious (word of the day) and not an avid culture warrior, imperative for the Republican nominee. Ambassador Haley would make a good VP selection.

Vivek Ramaswamy. Fading. Smart. Maybe someday.

Chris Christie. Running on the "nobody hates Trump more than me" platform. Not his time. It will never be his time.

So, Donald Trump really has no competition at this point. But Trump being Trump, anything could happen on Friday. Or Saturday. Or any date, hour, or minute. It's who he is.

The primaries begin in two months.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Scary Times

2023-10-31T15:26:00Z

It's Halloween time, and we are certainly living in scary times. Putin, Hamas, Iran, China, all horrible.

But let's examine some frightening micro-stuff that is all around us. We begin with network television. Audiences are disappearing, with mostly older people addicted to the remote rather than the internet left watching. Therefore, we now have spooky reality shows like "Old Guy Bachelor."

This exposition puts up a senior man trying to convince senior females to like him. For what? Rides in a golf cart to pickle ball matches? What's the end game here, traction? Too scary to watch.

Kale. Why? What is that? It tastes awful no matter how much paprika you put on it. Kale frightens me more than Matt Gaetz.

Morning Joe. It's scarier than the Chainsaw Massacre guy and Freddie Kruger combined. Dracula is smart hitting the coffin at dawn so he can't watch Morning Joe.

And finally, Kamala. Like Vampira, she has a cult following. Why? If she ever becomes president, it will be Halloween every day, although there won't be many treats.

Or am I wrong?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Kamala Time?

2023-10-30T14:52:00Z

Vice President Kamala Harris got a pretty soft ride on "60 Minutes" Sunday. Correspondent Bill Whitaker was basically gentle in his questioning, allowing Ms. Harris to dodge her unpopularity in the polls and utter failure on border policy.

But that wasn't even important because most intelligent people well understand that Kamala Harris has no answers across the board. As they say in Texas, "She's all hat and no cattle."

The most interesting part of the chat, which was rather dull, was the timing. The 60 Minutes crew had to know that Kamala was offered because President Biden is in trouble. Whitaker's script focused on how "involved" the Vice President is with the administration's decisions. She's very, very, very engaged with everything and don't you forget it.

The interview of Ms. Harris is a network news standard issue these days. Both CBS and the White House gain, so let's keep things nice so we can do it again.

You all come back now, you hear.

But a subtle signal has been sent. Kamala Harris is open for business just in case the boss can't make it.

Did I mention she's very involved?

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Rejecting Hate

2023-10-27T07:00:00Z

The roots of bigotry are buried in ignorance. No human being is born hating anyone. That condition is acquired and accepted by the offending person. Even if your parents are racist, anti-Semitic, or anti any group, once you reach the age of reason, good people reject the hatred.

But not all people are good. And many are simply stupid.

I grew up In Levittown on Long Island, an all-white working-class suburb. Jews and Christians lived side by side.

Sports were big. Who was better on the baseball field, Willie Mays or Mickey Mantle? Kids were divided.

There was some ethnic name-calling courtesy of ignorant parents. Mostly anti-black stuff. When I heard that, I used reason. What about Willie? Jimmy Brown? Wilt Chamberlain? We root for those guys, right? So, what's with the skin color idiocy? You sing Four Tops songs all day long.

That shut a lot of them up, not all. But the hardcore bigots who imitated their ridiculous parents never made it into my crew. The race stuff was boring. Who wants to hang with a hater?

So now it's being spotlighted with the Hamas terrorism attack. Fools are spreading hate about "Jews." These Hamas sympathizers are cretins. There's no excuse for this garbage.

There is evil in the world, no question. And there are those who enable evil.

It's pretty much the same thing if you ask me.

New column Sunday at noon.

New Speaker

2023-10-26T15:14:00Z

As predicted here, the Speaker issue has been resolved, but not without some blood. With the Democratic leadership now almost completely progressive, Republicans are the only ones who can stop future bleeding to stay on the fluid imagery.

Congressmen Gaetz and his staunch rightwing conservative crew succeeded in booting Kevin McCarthy from the Speakership, but what did that really accomplish? Gaetz has to know that reform cannot happen unless a few Democrats are persuaded. Apparently, the Matt-meister doesn't much care about that.

Going forward, I have no blankin' idea how Louisiana congressman Mike Johnson will handle his new job. If he's more successful than McCarthy, I will apologize to Congressman Gaetz.

But the truth is that Washington remains a sanctuary for far-left politicians bent on destroying American traditions. That's what the open border is really all about.

So, the Republicans better start selling their philosophy and knock off the divisive stuff.

November 2024 one year away.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

America's Societal Decline

2023-10-25T15:09:00Z

If you want to understand why American society is declining quickly, consider New York City, where more than 36 percent of schoolchildren are chronically absent from class. The stat is almost impossible to comprehend even if you did well in math. More than one-third of all students in public schools rarely show up.

And absolutely no one is doing anything about it.

Obviously, the derelict parents don't give a whit about their kids. That could never have happened in my house or most likely yours. The disobedient child would have been disciplined.

But today, there is little societal punishment for anything. Social disorder is accepted by a progressive government, and responsible parenting is not even encouraged in some places.

The result is a permanent underclass of criminals. You see it now. Young males eagerly entering violent drug gangs where criminal acts are a way of life. Most of these miscreants are unable to earn a living or even utter a comprehensive sentence. They are covered with tattoos, communicate using constant obscenities, and could not care less who they harm.

Sell fentanyl? Bring it on.

This is urban America today. Again, who is doing anything about it other than good people in social occupations? Any politicians bring this up?

So, down the road, the 36 percent of NYC kids who refuse to get educated may randomly make your acquaintance.

Pray they do not.

See you this evening for the No Spin News!

Biden Latest

2023-10-24T15:21:00Z

Some Republicans have criticized President Biden for taking a weekend walk on the beach, and that's pretty loopy. The criticism was basically that he can't be a sandman while a war is developing.

Pretty picayune if you ask me. Everyone needs some fresh air.

Also, some are angry about Mr. Biden equating Israel with Ukraine, but again, I don't subscribe to the beef. Both conflicts are about preventing disorder in the world, and twinning them is not an extreme position.

Hamas has to be destroyed because it murders civilians just like the Third Reich did. The Nazis were annihilated.

Putin is a war criminal as well, who seeks to subjugate countries that have some semblance of freedom, which Russia does not. Appeasing Putin will fast-track totalitarianism.

It is truly depressing that we all live in such a brutal world. But we do. President Biden's policies are correct theoretically, but his weak personal leadership makes everything so much more difficult.

We didn't have worldwide disorder under Trump.

Going forward, we need strong leadership to confront evildoers and provide protection for innocent people.

No way Joe Biden will provide it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Campus Chaos

2023-10-23T15:15:00Z

What is really happening on college campuses is largely unknown because the media doesn't cover it, and most Americans don't really care. But, higher education has dramatically changed in the USA as the Israel-Hamas situation has demonstrated.

The simple truth is that liberal arts are now literally liberal. The leftist students and teachers hold almost all the power.

So I, your humble correspondent, have put together a list of elective courses designed to reflect contemporary reality. And here they are.

- Hamas Is Not So Bad! A three-credit course that chronicles past successes of the terror group. Extra credit if you quote Congresswoman Tlaib.

- It's a Trans World After All. The course includes a field trip to Elliot Page's house. No biology background necessary.

- Crime, No Punishment. A penetrating look at "mass incarceration" and why holding criminals responsible for their destructive actions is racist.

- Woke Me When It's Over. An intense course capturing the true essence of virtue/signaling. The final exam will be an essay on how everybody except white people are victims.

That's just a short list of possible academic opportunities at our nation's most prestigious universities.

Extracurricular activities have also changed with unisex competitions and looting if you lose.

See you around campus.

And we'll see you tonight for the No Spin News.

History and Biden

2023-10-20T15:22:00Z

With President Biden's poll numbers continuing to drop and vexing problems on almost every front, there is a historical marker that is apparent: Joe Biden is a bad president.

But how bad?

The census by scholars is that James Buchanan is the worst chief executive in history. He did absolutely nothing to confront the southern states that were defying the federal government and demanding secession. Buchanan wouldn't even send supplies to Fort Sumter, under siege by Confederates. When Abraham Lincoln entered the White House, civil war was imminent.

The president after Lincoln was murdered, Andrew Johnson, was incredibly incompetent, allowing racists to openly attack blacks after the South surrendered.

Herbert Hoover did nothing to alleviate suffering during the Great Depression - leading to 20 years of democrats in the White House.

Finally, Jimmy Carter hurt the nation during his four years. The economy was a mess, and Iran held 66 Americans hostage. Carter was in way over his head.

Joe Biden may be worse than Carter. Just the open border alone has created massive problems. And old Joe simply doesn't care. Add to that falling real wages, surging crime, and incredible division among the citizenry.

History will not be kind to the Biden administration.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday. Pick up "Killing the Witches." You'll thank me.

Bad Information

2023-10-19T15:00:00Z

It is astonishing and outrageous that most major national media organizations reported that Israel blew up a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds.

The source of the information was Hamas, so that immediately disqualifies any honest journalist from citing Israel as the attacker.

Right?

But no. The Associated Press, Reuters, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, The Washington Post, and the New York Times all inflamed a violent situation by reporting the Hamas accusation. None of those agencies had any backup for their reportage.

What they should have said, if they were honest, was something like this: a hospital in Gaza was hit with rockets today. Both Israel and Hamas blame the other."

Is that hard? Then, you report casualties.

Subsequently, US intelligence puts the blame on a rocket misfire by Islamic terrorists. That has been widely reported, but the damage is done. Millions of ill-informed people believe Israel is responsible.

America has a major problem with the corporate media companies. And that problem is getting people killed.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

AOC & Hamas

2023-10-18T14:55:00Z

There are two socialists in this country who get an enormous amount of media attention: Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Sanders is a hard-core Marxist who believes Americans should subjugate themselves to a federal government that will dictate who has what and control almost every aspect of life. His prevailing philosophy is that capitalism oppresses people, and the free marketplace should not be free.

Ms. Alexandria is different. She's a trendy socialist who has few solutions to serious problems. Her lack of understanding about how the world works is simply frightening.

The latest is her call for a "ceasefire" in the Hamas/Israel conflict. Ocasio-Cortez does not believe Israel should destroy Hamas.

But what about the terror group killing thousands of innocent Israeli civilians? If a ceasefire is achieved, then Hamas will not be destroyed and could massacre people again.

Right?

The Congresswoman can't answer that question because she's not smart enough to answer it. She shows her ignorance every time she's interviewed. No solutions, all the time.

My prediction for Ms. Alexandria is she will find a safe place on The View. Down the road, we will see her as a well paid cohost.

She still won't know anything but she'll be in her element. Disney, which owns ABC, is salivating.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Biden's Poll Numbers

2023-10-17T07:00:00Z

With President Biden's job approval rating now below 40 percent, according to the new Associated Press poll, doom is approaching the Democratic Party.

In fact the only thing standing between that party and total collapse is Donald Trump.

Many Dem voters are still so dismissive of Mr. Trump that they seem to be willing to vote again for an incompetent leader who is harming the nation in profound ways.

Open border, punishing inflation for necessities, weakness abroad. That's just for starters.

The Biden reelection campaign is headed by entertainment mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, a liberal zealot. It raised a whopping $71 million dollars in the third quarter of this year, almost double what Donald Trump raised.

Much of the Biden money is coming from wealthy leftists, and if you work in Hollywood and old Jeffrey calls, you'd better write that Biden check.

Back in the late 1970s, Jimmy Carter was a deeply unpopular president who presided over gasoline shortages and a brutal economy. Iran humiliated Carter by holding 66 American hostages in Teheran. On the day Ronald Reagan defeated Carter, the Mullahs released the captives.

Mr. Biden is a worse chief executive than Carter, in my opinion. If Donald Trump was not the leading Republican candidate, I think Biden's poll numbers would be even worse.

No matter. I believe old Joe will be out of the race soon.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Ceremonial President

2023-10-16T15:07:00Z

President Biden appeared on 60 Minutes to discuss the Hamas/Israel war, and in the set up to the interview, CBS correspondent Scott Pelley told the audience that the President was tired and therefore had some trouble speaking - which turned out to be true.

That was a solid courtesy from Mr. Pelley, one that I might have offered myself. The nation knows Joe Biden is feeling the effects of age, and to report that is not out of line.

The rest of the interview was predictable, with soft questions like "is freeing the hostages your highest priority?"

Come on, Scott. What do you expect him to say?

Mr. Biden's policy of supporting Israel is correct, but, in my opinion, he and his administration have no insight into the vicious dilemma that has been going on since 1948.

The President trotted out the old misdirection of establishing "two independent states" in the region, and that is utter nonsense. The Palestinians are completely dominated by terrorists who want to exterminate Jews, so how can you have a peaceful state?

You can't.

We've reached a point in history where American leaders are largely mediocrities with no insights or historical knowledge whatsoever. And no matter how rested he might be - President Biden will always occupy that category. At this point, he plays a ceremonial role in this country, relying on staff to tell him what to say and do.

The extreme danger is the savages know it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Points of View

2023-10-13T07:00:00Z

Most likely, I do too much analysis of the American media. However, my career in journalism has spanned almost 50 years, so I have plenty of emotion invested in the subject.

As you may know, I believe the corporations that control information flow in the USA are essentially corrupt. They skew their presentations, pandering to the ideological bent of their audiences.

Here's one very vivid example. CBS News was once the most powerful press agency in the world. Cronkite, Murrow, Mike Wallace. Although many CBS people held liberal beliefs, the news was presented straight, with many points of view considered.

Today, it's a different story. Liberal commentator Rachel Maddow has a new book called "Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism."

MAGA voters are the fascists.

Ms. Maddow was given a coveted spot on CBS Sunday Morning to promote her book.

Nothing wrong with that.

Conservative Mark Levin also has a new book called "The Democrat Party Hates America." That effort is far outselling Ms. Maddow.

But you will not see Mr. Levin on CBS Sunday Morning.

Why not?

You already know the answer to that question.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Conflicting Reports

2023-10-13T06:59:00Z

Interesting media situation emerging over the Hamas attack. Soon after the savages began murdering Israeli civilians, The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran aided the terrorists in carrying out their evil deeds. The Journal cited anonymous Hamas sources for the information.

Having written Killing the Killers about the terror war, that sounded credible to me, although I'm always suspicious of the anonymous thing.

Then, on Wednesday, CNN reported that Iran had nothing to do with the attack, citing anonymous intelligence sources.

So, one of these news agencies is terribly wrong.

It is true that the Biden administration does not want a confrontation with the Mullahs in Teheran. The six billion dollar prisoner swap did not go down well with many Americans. Also, compared to Donald Trump, Joe Biden has been soft on Iran.

Also, CNN is friendly to the Biden administration, while the Wall Street Journal is not.

I will track this situation closely and get the truth. It may take a while, but I'll get it.

And there will be hell to pay for someone.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

2023-10-10T14:57:00Z

Many Americans have little interest in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but that's a mistake. The violence over there will affect all of us over here.

There are presently three major evils in the world: the Communist Chinese, the totalitarian Putin, and Islamic militancy.

All three sanction murder and the denial of human rights. All three are locked and loaded in order to create violent mayhem.

Ukraine and now the war in Palestine create disorder throughout the world. And disorder is the enemy of civilized behavior. When the shooting starts, economic prosperity declines. That's your wallet.

The Hamas murder spree is NOT President Biden's fault despite his opponents wishing it so. Israeli intelligence was ineffective, as was American intel before 9/11.

What is Biden's fault is the disorder in the USA, from the border to the drug saturated inner cities, to the astounding lack of discipline in his administration.

This country needs clear-eyed leadership and tactical superiority over the evildoers.

Please remember that in November 2024.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

England

2023-10-09T15:36:00Z

On the way home from England, the No Spin News resumes Tuesday evening. Good trip. Oxford, the Cotswolds, and London.

A long time ago, 54 years ago to be exact, I spent my junior year in college at the University of London's Queen Mary College. Outstanding experience, one that my son is now duplicating at Oxford's Blackfriars Hall - one of the oldest colleges in Europe.

On Saturday, we walked around London, which, back in 1969, was the poster city for British culture. No longer. Today, 38 percent of those living in London are foreign-born. Many have not assimilated. They don't speak English and retain customs from their homelands.

For example, much of Mayfair, the oldest and most affluent part of London, is controlled by Saudis. If you take the tube to Mile End, where Queen Mary College is located, you will see a few traditional British expositions.

This is the vision the progressive left has for the USA: wipe out American traditions. They are bad, they say, built on racism.

That's what the open border is all about: ushering in millions of migrants under the banner of diversity. President Biden has completely bought into that concept.

If you criticize the open border situation, the far-left will call you a racist. That strategy is obviously designed to stop any dissent. But the debate over immigration is a good thing. Folks should know exactly what is going down.

See you later with honest news analysis.

Cruel Joe

2023-10-06T15:43:00Z

Holy asylum, Batman! Do you know how desperate President Biden must be to repudiate his open border policy publicly? Now, he's announcing the federal government will build a wall in various parts of Texas after he said a wall would never happen.

This is close to the Afghanistan embarrassment because Mr. Biden has long condemned border barriers as not being "welcoming."

Or something.

Do you get the feeling the White House is out of control? I do. The progressive left will recoil at any attempt to slow down the migrant invasion. So, why has the president reversed himself?

It's because regular folks have turned against him. All the polls say that. Progressives are just a small part of the electorate. But they have a huge megaphone courtesy of the corrupt press.

Maybe Kamala Harris has finally discovered the "root cause" of this problem, which is that the USA is a far better place than Honduras. Or Venezuela. Or Mexico. You get the idea.

Therefore, "Cruel Joe," my new nickname for the president, is demanding iron and concrete to keep the mostly poor people out.

Say it ain't so, Joe. Now, you're a mean guy like Trump. But it's too late on the border. Things are so bad that in about 12 months, there will be a new cry in Espanol: "Adios, amigo!"

British Invasion

2023-10-05T07:00:00Z

Flying to England as I write this message. My son is studying at Oxford, so I have to see how my money is being spent. Hopefully, JFK airport will be functioning so human beings can get actual places, but you never know.

Fifty-four years ago, I did what my kid is doing at the University of London, Queen Mary College. Hard to believe it was that long ago. Mets won the World Series, and I missed it, but the experience abroad was worth it.

As you know, Britain is a staunch U.S. ally and a nice place to visit. In fact, I use British intelligence dispatches on Ukraine for my analysis, not American intel. That way, I know politics isn't creeping in.

Tomorrow, I will write from Oxford about sights and sounds. Some of my English friends want "Killing the Witches" because the crown was partially responsible for that horror.

Check the book out; you'll like it!

Cheerio.

Bye, Bye Kevin

2023-10-04T15:11:00Z

Democrats in the House showed the nation once again that they are far more cohesive than their Republican peers.

Not one Dem voted for Speaker McCarthy to retain his job, and so, for the first time in American history, a Speaker will be dismissed.

Eight Republicans cast ballots to oust McCarthy, led by Congressman Matt Gaetz, who believes the former speaker is not tough enough on liberal policies.

So Gaetz won, but his party lost. With the presidential election 13 months away, the Grand Old Party has shown weakness.

Kevin McCarthy is a consensus seeker, and in this polarized country, that did not play well among some on the right. In theory, limiting government spending is vitally important, but, at this point, the Matt Gaetz brigade does not have the votes to stop the fiscal madness that the left and President Biden have unleashed.

So it's farewell to Mr. McCarthy as Speaker of the House.

Hey, Kevin, we hardly knew ya.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Chickens

2023-10-03T07:00:00Z

Quick quiz: What do Governors Newsom, Hochul, and Pritzker of Illinois have in common? Answer: They are all progressive, politically correct virtue-signalers.

Newsom and Hochul are also sanctuary city people, while old J.B. never met a leftist cause he didn't celebrate.

But now the governors who are "welcoming" and woke are also desperate. Thousands of foreign nationals are showing up in their states, and many have to be fed and housed. J. B. says Illinois has spent $330 million on the situation and is begging President Biden to reimburse.

He won't.

Remember Barrack Obama's pastor, Reverend Wright, saying the "chickens have come home to roost?" Well, pass the salt; more chicken is on the table.

The woke left thought it was swell to thumb its collective nose at US immigration law. It wasn't inclusive or welcoming, so we'll ignore it.

And that's what they did.

Now, chaos is here. Courtesy of President Biden, who has absolutely no idea what he is doing from day to day.

In the process, hard-working Americans have to pay the bills for this colossal mismanagement of government.

It is just 13 months before the next election. The chickens are waiting.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Consumer Revolt

2023-10-02T07:00:00Z

So, it's fight-back time for Americans. Not against a political movement or a foreign enemy, but business people in your own town.

All over, consumers are getting ripped off. It started with Covid, then inflation, now it's morphed into pure greed. Prices are outrageous.

Two examples. I've been going to a deli on Long Island for 20 years. Good place; used to be reasonably priced. Then, a few months ago, the store began charging 13.50 for a smoothie. I talked to the owner. He had no explanation. So, I stopped buying them but continued with other stuff.

On Friday, I ordered chicken with rice soup. 14.25. No way. The soup costs around a dollar wholesale. Told the guy, adios. I spent a few hundred dollars in that place a year, at least.

It's not the money; it's the principle.

Then I got a notice from a car lease place to pay them $500 bucks. But the bill doesn't say for what. So I called. A guy named Monroe comes on the line but will not give me his last name.

What is this? I don't do business like that. They will wait a long time for the 500.

We need a consumer revolt in this country. Don't let them hose you. Walk away.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Debate Aftermath

2023-09-29T07:00:00Z

Only 9 million people tuned in to see this week's second republican debate. In 2020, about 155 million votes were cast in the presidential election, so less than 5 percent of the electorate watched Wednesday's exposition.

The reason is that among Republicans, it is assumed Donald Trump will be the nominee, so why bother listening to political chatter from his challengers?

Next year's election is still shrouded with uncertainty because of the two front runners. President Biden is a disaster, mentally diminished and befuddled.

Donald Trump is a one-man soap drama king. Anything could happen at any time.

Both men have loyal constituencies and ardent enemies. There'll be no love in this campaign.

If the vote were held tomorrow, I believe Trump would win by a slight margin. Millions of Americans have had quite enough of inflation, open borders, woke, and public disorder. All of those things nest in Democrat precincts.

Donald Trump promises to vanquish the progressive movement, which is desperately trying to cancel him. But it won't work. The former president seems unstoppable in his quest to be on the ballot.

In just four months, we will begin primary voting. We will cover the election aggressively with no malarky. Keep it here.

Have a good weekend! New column on Sunday.

Belief

2023-09-28T07:00:00Z

Here's a provocative question: do you hope President Biden will be found guilty of taking foreign money? We know Hunter and James Biden accepted millions of dollars from a variety of foreign nationals, and Joe assisted in that effort. But what's in your wallet, Mr. President?

Safe to say millions of Americans would like to see Joe Biden vaporized. Same thing with Donald Trump. We live in hateful political times, no question.

I, your humble correspondent, bear no personal animosity towards the president. But I fervently believe he's hurting the country. I back that up nearly every day with no spin news analysis.

But some folks don't believe Mr. Biden is a failure. About 40 percent of voters still support him, according to polling. Those people believe what they want to believe - not what is visible right before their eyes.

However, the anti-Biden crew that thinks Joe's a felon is also believing what they want to believe. There's no evidence yet he took money or services. But he might have.

As a Christian, I am not supposed to root for personal destruction. But I am compelled to seek justice.

So that's where I am.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The News Business

2023-09-27T07:00:00Z

One of the topics Tucker Carlson and I addressed on the X interview this week was the future of network and cable news. Ratings are down across the board, especially for Americans under the age of 50. Few watch anymore.

The primary reason for that is predictability. Many broadcasts lack snap; some are simply dull. The corporations who run the television media are risk-averse in this cancel culture era. Commentators and anchors know they had better play it safe.

Also, there is a certain laziness in speech. How many times does the audience have to hear the phrase "at the end of the day?" Or "deep dive?" How about "full stop?"

It's tiresome and annoying to listen to inarticulate, cliche-dependent broadcasters.

So, let's unpack this. No, I refuse. Let's agree to disagree. Blank you with that. Maybe we should all just "trust the science" as TV sets are turned on.

Don't think so.

Once upon a time, there were strict standards in broadcasting; there were editors and creative producers.

Today, they have largely disappeared.

It is what it is.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Rise of Disorder

2023-09-26T07:00:00Z

We are now witnessing the rise of disorder in America, and it is hurting every single one of us. Unchecked immigration has led to chaos, unpunished crimes, fear, and higher costs for everything. It's creating massive economic anxiety.

The President is diminished mentally and totally disinterested unless there is a racial component to be exploited.

Most voters understand that Mr. Biden is doing a poor job, but they don't fully realize the potential of public disorder. It's like an unruly child; the longer anti-social behavior is allowed, the more difficult it is to bring the kid back.

With about 350 million people living in the USA, collective discipline is imperative. Allowing laws to be ignored and standards of personal responsibility to evaporate will result in tremendous harm to individuals.

One word: fentanyl.

The solution is to vote out progressive Democrats and their puppet, Joe Biden. If this does not happen in 2024, the negative consequences will be staggering.

Help can be on the way. But only if the voters wise up.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Addressing Immigration

2023-09-25T07:00:00Z

As the migrant situation grows more intense, not only in the USA but in Europe as well, religious leaders are caught in a tight spot. Christianity commands that the dignity of all people be honored, especially the poor and marginalized. With the exception of the Russian Orthodox Church, whose leader supports Putin slaughtering Ukrainian women and children, Christian doctrine compels believers to help those who need help.

But, developed countries cannot assimilate millions of poor people without damaging their own citizens. President Biden's open border policy has led to death (record amounts of fentanyl pouring in) and the destruction of border communities and other places.

France is using troops to stop migrants from entering, and Italy is now deploying its navy to blockade northern African countries where migrants gather. Because most European nationals are semi-socialists with enormous government benefits - bankruptcy looms.

Enter Pope Francis, who traveled to France last week to support mass migration. Theologically, the Pope is doing the right thing. However, in public policy, he is putting an impossible burden on taxpayers.

In the USA, the nation's most powerful cleric, New York's Cardinal Dolan, told the press that President Biden is refusing to discuss the migrant situation with him.

The President, who makes a show out of his Catholicism, is being disrespectful to the Cardinal as well as to American taxpayers who are paying billions of dollars in bills for Biden's destructive dereliction of duty.

The migrant problem goes right to the heart of responsible government. Virtue signaling is not going to solve this problem.

As God only knows.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

Good Qualities

2023-09-22T07:00:00Z

Are you a caring person? Someone who has empathy for the suffering of others? How about a righteous dude or dudette? A human being who is angered by injustice and apathy?

Those are the qualities a politician needs if problem-solving is going to take place. Empathy and anger combined.

President Biden possesses neither, so there's no problem-solving whatsoever. The border remains open; fentanyl flows in, and babies die.

Joe is silent and does nothing but help the Mexican drug and people smugglers.

Real wages for American workers are falling. Buying the necessities of life is straining budgets. Joe Biden inherited an economy where inflation was running just over one percent. Now it's six times that.

Joe blames Donald Trump.

The former president is not an emphatic guy either. But he does demonstrate righteous anger, something that eludes Biden. Trump takes everything personally, so he wanted White House success more than anything. On the border and with the economy, Donald Trump achieved far more than his successor.

America is a place where selfishness and stupidity are currently running wild. Only empathy and courage can get us out of this mess.

What are the odds of that happening?

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Garland Spectacle

2023-09-21T15:04:00Z

Very few Americans saw the vivid display of corruption yesterday because they were on the job or raising urchins. But Attorney General Garland's testimony about the Hunter/Joe Biden situation was something to behold.

Garland trotted out the Sergeant Schultz defense: "I know nothing!" He evaded all specific questions about Biden's behavior by saying he would not "interfere with the investigations."

So, the head of the Justice Department is providing absolutely no oversight on one of the most intense corruption investigations in history.

Insane doesn't even begin to describe it.

And I believe Merrick Garland. I think he wants no part of any Biden probe because he knows it's radioactive. These swamp creatures have an acute sense of danger.

But here's where the Attorney General deceives the most. He had to sign off on the first Hunter plea deal that demanded the federal government never again charge Hunter Biden with anything. As a former judge, Garland had to know the absurdity of that, and, indeed, a federal judge threw it out.

So why did Garland try to slip it by?

Merrick "Schultz" Garland will never answer that question other than to say he trusted his prosecutors.

But the whole thing doesn't stack.

Does it?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Mitt Romney's Legacy

2023-09-20T15:07:00Z

Senator Mitt Romney has announced he won't seek reelection in Utah, bringing out rabid partisans on both sides to malign him. So what does that say about Mr. Romney himself?

Not much.

I've known the Senator for more than 20 years and believe his legacy is mixed. As Governor, he ran the very liberal Commonwealth of Massachusetts pretty well. As Senator, he lost his way feuding with Donald Trump. As a presidential candidate running against Barack Obama in 2012, he totally blew it.

In fact, one of the few arguments I had with Roger Ailes, the boss at Fox News, was over Romney. I was reporting that although President Obama had some major weaknesses in his quest for reelection, Romney was far too timid in pointing them out. It was almost as if he feared Obama. Therefore, I analyzed Mitt was likely to lose.

Mr. Ailes did not like my take. Fine. But I wasn't going to modify it because it was true. Romney lost. I took no pleasure in that, but my job is to call 'em as I see 'em, which I did right up until Election Day.

The Trump thing was stupid. The former president called Romney a "loser." The Senator despised him for doing that. So Romney voted to convict Trump in both Pelosi trumped up impeachments. Foolish. Evidence or lack thereof matters.

On balance, Mitt Romney is a flawed patriot, as many of us are. Hope his retirement goes well.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Unsettled

2023-09-19T15:04:00Z

Based on polling, I have come to believe that most Americans are uneasy with the current state of affairs in this country. That is not party analysis; it's across the board. Things are unsettled in the good, old USA.

We begin with the progressive movement, which wants a complete overhaul of America. They want to right historical wrongs by bestowing on minority citizens more favorable treatment than non-minorities. The progressives also want to deconstruct the justice system so that many criminals are not punished.

In public schools, the progressives want their belief system taught and traditional lessons banished. They also want parents to accept the leftist propaganda without question. The school rules.

But it is on the economic front where most Americans are feeling the most damage. Simply put, the necessities of life cost considerably more under President Biden. Take a look at your new insurance bills.

Mr. Biden, of course, is proud to be called the most progressive president in history, which he is. About 80 million voters cast ballots for him in 2020. How many of those folks regret it?

I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know we are not living in boom times.

Not at all.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Propaganda Machine

2023-09-18T07:00:00Z

You have to acknowledge the Democrat's propaganda machine. These people know what they're doing. Their public distortions are way more effective than what the Republicans put out.

You'll remember that the White House recently sent orders to the corporate media to reject any kind of "lies" concerning President Biden's alleged influence selling. The memo itself was an outrageous intrusion on news agencies, which should be able to report stories in a fact-based way.

But, of course, many media companies have absolutely no interest in doing that.

Let's take the Chicago Sun-Times, for example. This newspaper has cheerleaded the radicals who have made the poor districts of the city some of the most violent places on earth.

Now, the paper is condemning anyone who would like to see a legitimate investigation into the Hunter-Joe situation. The Sun-Times is calling all accusations against the President "unfounded."

Well, how would the leftist newspaper know that? Has it assigned investigative reporters to the case?

Of course not. The Sun-Times has zero interest in exposing any Democrat wrongdoing.

Same thing with the ultra-liberal Los Angeles Times. It ran an op-ed that essentially says leave Joe Biden alone because he's doing an excellent job.

Sure. Open borders, massive federal spending, debilitating inflation, falling real wages, equity over merit. You go, Joe!

People believe what they want to believe. And I want to believe the American media strives to be honest.

But I can't.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Those Responsible

2023-09-15T15:29:00Z

As the evidence mounts against President Biden that he participated in enriching his family by misusing his power as Vice President, two other powerful federal officials have to be very concerned about themselves.

Attorney General Merrick Garland told Congress that U.S. Attorney David Weiss had the power to fully investigate Hunter Biden anywhere in the USA. Not true. We now know that US Attorneys in California and Washington DC, both Biden appointees, refused to cooperate with Weiss, and Merrick Garland did nothing about it.

Lying to Congress is a serious situation. Garland will eventually be held responsible. He shows up again this coming Wednesday for further interrogation.

And then there's Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI. A paid informant for the Bureau told agents that Joe Biden received $5 million dollars from a business in Ukraine, Burisma, which was being investigated for corruption in that country. The informant's allegation was put into an FBI memo, and then it seemingly disappeared. Surely, Wray knew about the memo. So what happened?

Wray won't say.

The heavy odds are that Biden, Garland, and Wray will all eventually be brought down by the influence-peddling scandal. It will take a while, but the stars are aligning.

Enjoy the weekend. Hope you preorder "Killing the Witches," new column Sunday morning.

Special Message from Bill

2023-09-14T00:38:00Z

We had a technical meltdown today that knocked out the No Spin News. Some computer problem I couldn't possibly understand. Maddening because it was an excellent program.

We'll reconstitute some of it, add new things and have a stemwinder for you on Thursday. My entire staff feels terrible but it's nobody's fault. High tech can be fickle.

Meanwhile, we have a good interview with Hannity posted as well as some interesting NewsNation/Cuomo stuff.

We'll soldier on. See you Thursday evening.

The Poor

2023-09-13T07:00:00Z

Let's talk about poor people in America. Statistics from the Census Bureau out this week say poverty is increasing for the first time in 22 years. The bureau puts the number at about 38 million folks living below the poverty line of $30,000 a year for a family of four.

President Biden says poverty is increasing because of some cutbacks to the massive social programs Democrats have created. The left is committed to supporting Americans who cannot cut it in the marketplace by giving them entitlements gleaned from the taxes of working people. This is called " income redistribution."

The problem here is that the federal government now owes about $33 trillion dollars. The USA cannot cover its massive bills, so it has to borrow.

Joe Biden could not care less. He is in business to buy votes by promising free stuff to the have-nots. He has absolutely no plan to reduce poverty through achievement.

America offers more opportunities than any other country, but you have to seize it. Having babies out of wedlock with no assets will guarantee you'll be poor. Becoming a substance abuser leads to poverty. So does failing to get an education or refusing to develop a skill.

There are many pathways to avoid economic hardship. The military, community college degrees, working your butt off, and saving your money. But sitting around waiting for government assistance is a doom loop.

That's the truth. Someone tell Joe Biden.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Patriotism

2023-09-12T07:00:00Z

Incredible rendition of the National Anthem by Queen Latifah on Sunday before the Giants-Cowboys game. Sideline shots showed most players paying attention. The 9/11 theme was apparent in the stadium.

This is a good beginning to reignite a sense of patriotism in America. For too long, the zealots who frown on their country have had the floor. Surely, Ms. Latifah understands that her success most likely would not have occurred anywhere else on the planet.

That doesn't mean dissent must be muted; all of us should strive to improve the USA, and that means objecting to unfairness and corruption. But there's a right way to make headway - and you start by being respectful to your country and the noble things it has accomplished.

Years ago, Colin Kaepernick and his crew were not respectful by dishonoring the anthem. I'm glad the National Football League, the poster child of capitalism, has finally figured that out.

It took far too long.

I hope you will watch Queen Latifah honor her country if you haven't already seen it. You might even tear up.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Schumer Silence

2023-09-11T07:00:00Z

Where's Chuck? New York City is in deep distress because more than 100,000 foreign nationals have arrived, most of whom need intense financial support. This weekend, Mayor Eric Adams announced a five percent cut in city services, including police protection, in order to pay for the migrants.

My question: Where is Senator Chuck Schumer, the second most powerful politician in the country as Senate Majority Leader?

Chuck is a Brooklyn guy, and that borough is deeply affected by the migrant in-coming. One might expect Schumer to be working with President Biden to increase border protection and temporarily suspend asylum applications. Those are the only two things that could bring quick relief to the migrant problem, which is now completely out of control.

But Chuck is largely silent. He has asked for more federal money, but Biden says no. He wants instant working papers for all migrants, an obvious invitation for more to cross the border.

Senator Schumer is a great example of a machine politician who will never go against the machine even if his constituents are getting hurt, which they are. Chuck will not criticize his long-time pal Joe Biden - the master of disaster.

So, rock on Chuck Schumer! We've got your number. But you'll never answer the call.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Fix

2023-09-08T15:50:00Z

The media continues to cover for President Biden even though most Americans know the fix is in.

Writing on the Yahoo Finance website, a guy named Rick Newman states there is no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden despite the fact the Hunter Biden case has been investigated for five years.

This is standard issue liberal nonsense that we see and hear nearly every day. Is Mr. Newman that dense that he doesn't understand the FBI was never mobilized by Attorney General Merrick Garland to scrutinize the Biden family finances? Does Newman not find that a wee bit suspicious?

Why is it that IRS investigators testified under oath that they were blocked from asking Joe Biden any questions about his family's finances?

Why is it that the primary investigators in this very troubling case are members of the House, not trained law enforcement agents who are supposed to serve the people?

Doesn't all that bother Rick Newman and the other incurious press people who spout the "no evidence" nonsense every day? Apparently not.

Hey, Rick. Get it together, man. It's embarrassing.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Soft on Hunter

2023-09-07T15:42:00Z

So, the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, has announced new gun charges will be lodged against Hunter Biden, weeks after an absurd plea deal engineered by Weiss and his corrupt boss, Attorney General Merrick Garland, was rejected by a federal judge.

Any objective person following this fiasco understands that both Weiss and Garland are desperately trying to divert attention away from President Biden on the alleged bribery front.

If Hunter pleads guilty to the gun thing, which he probably will, he will get no prison time. As to what happens to the tax evasion accusations - no one knows.

It should be clear to all Americans that the Department of Justice is corrupt. Why isn't the FBI investigating a situation where the President's family is under suspicion of grifting tens of millions of dollars? Why do House committees have to do the probing?

This is an obvious question that remains unanswered. If the FBI is involved in the Biden investigation, that should be publicly stated to restore some measure of credibility to the Bureau.

It is terrible for the country that a low-level miscreant like Hunter Biden gets unbelievably soft treatment. His father, the President, continues to say he is "proud" of Hunter.

Proud of what, Joe?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Covid, Again

2023-09-06T07:00:00Z

Jill Biden has Covid, and so does Whoopi Goldberg. The View host was apparently vaccinated five times, and we assume Jill had the same situation.

Expect the media to go into Covid hype mode, and some will try to bring back mask mandates. They will fail because the public is fed up with that. However, private businesses and colleges can dictate health measures on their property.

It looks to me like Covid is now a "super flu." It's contagious and discomforting but not an intense threat to basically healthy people. I do not foresee a run on hospitals. I hope I'm right.

Trust in the government and in the media is at an all-time low while panic over many things climbs higher. With Covid, there's little we can do.

I'm not a mask person, but I have changed one part of my presentation. I fist bump instead of shaking hands. I can't carry hand sanitizers around, and I meet a lot of folks.

Other than that, it's luck. Covid isn't debilitating any longer, but it is annoying and will bottle you up for a few days.

No need to panic.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Internet Standards

2023-09-05T07:00:00Z

If you read stuff on the internet, be very careful. There are absolutely no standards of honesty or civility on some websites, and spending time on them will hurt you in many ways. Most of all, it will diminish your humanity.

Sadistic people roam the net and post awful things. Everyone knows that. In the past, being a guttersnipe could get you sued or punched. President Andrew Jackson shot it out with smear merchants.

But today, emotionally disturbed individuals can post hate anonymously.

Recently, I was reading a news site when I came across attacks on the actress Jennifer Garner. It seems she went jogging without makeup, and a photo stalker took some pictures. The woman was then viciously attacked on the net for her appearance.

Well, I saw the photos and the actress looked fine. The criticism of her was insane but most likely hurtful if she saw it.

Standards of civility are in free fall all over the world as cyberspace gives power to the emotionally ill as well as evil-doers with pernicious agendas. Pope Francis and other religious leaders have warned about moral dangers on the internet.

Here in America, there's nothing our society can do about destructive postings because of the First Amendment.

But some public condemnation might help.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Uninformed

2023-09-04T11:43:00Z

On Sunday, I filed my weekly column on BillOReilly.com, which lamented that many Americans believe what they want to believe, and the facts, or lack thereof, be damned.

Our nation is rapidly descending into a state where propaganda and insane conspiracy theories are all over the place.

This is not good as it obliterates honest evaluations of powerful people and important situations.

But there is something else going on in the public arena that's even worse: folks who don't want to believe ANYTHING.

Boy George sang about that in the 1970s: "I'm a man without conviction. I'm a man who doesn't know."

He might have added: "I'm a man or woman who doesn't want to know." And, in your life, you know some of these people.

They stay intentionally uninformed, inebriated, and apathetic. They live in the USA but don't care a whit about it.

I believe, based on the lack of news consumption and book reading in America, that this is a rapidly growing faction - especially among younger citizens.

And if that trend continues, our society will be drastically altered for the worse.

See you Tuesday evening for the No Spin News.

Saving the Country

2023-09-04T07:00:00Z

The country continues to suffer because of the liberal policies of the Biden administration. Please listen to just some of the issues Republicans need to address in order to take America back to prosperity.

Impeachment

2023-09-01T16:45:00Z

This time next week, there will be more bad news for Joe Biden as the House committees ramp up for a likely "impeachment inquiry." So what exactly is that?

It's simply an assemblage of allegations and information that House members can digest. Then, there may be a committee vote on whether the full House should approve "articles of impeachment" against the President. If that passes, the evidence then goes to the Senate for a trial. Two-thirds of the Senators must vote to convict. That has never happened in our country.

At this point, impeachment is a political tool that most Americans almost ignore. The two Trump impeachments, absurd as they were, pretty much destroyed the Congressional mechanism.

Joe Biden will not be convicted in the Senate based on today's evidence. It would take direct bribery facts to remove him, and even then, many Democrats would oppose it.

So, the question this Labor Day weekend is: Will House Republicans do to Biden what Democrats did to Trump?

I think they will.

Enjoy the end of summer.

Time to Retire

2023-08-31T07:00:00Z

As Americans begin celebrating the Labor Day weekend, word is House investigators are set to present more evidence about the massive Biden family grift. CBS News is reporting this using anonymous sources.

If true, President Biden will have to begin wrapping things up. Already, many Democrats understand that his reelection will be almost impossible.

As I reported earlier this week, in less than three years, the Biden administration has run up 5.1 trillion dollars in debt. In four years, the big spending Donald Trump added 4.1 trillion. Both presidents had to deal with Covid.

Biden's spending is essentially vote buying, and the damage he is doing to America financially will be felt for years. The country is amassing debt at warp speed, and workers are already taxed to the max.

So, it would be a blessing on all fronts if Joe Biden were to retire. As every poll demonstrates, Americans know the country is on the wrong track.

The beach beckons Joe. Heed the call.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Trump and the Media

2023-08-30T07:00:00Z

Just about eight years ago, Megyn Kelly launched a verbal rocket at Donald Trump during the first Republican campaign debate of 2016. The subject was Mr. Trump's disparaging comments about selected women.

That confrontation changed the dynamic between the media and Donald Trump. Up until then, the press actively pursued the businessman because he was good for business. But any media honeymoon quickly disappeared.

It was inevitable as the American press corps is overwhelmingly liberal in its belief system. It has been that way since the Vietnam War.

Donald Trump has never run as a standard conservative, but he was aggressively going after Hillary Clinton. So, the press threw in with the Clinton campaign and created "Russia Collusion."

Today, the former president has few media allies but really doesn't need them. His presence is so overwhelming that almost all negative information about him is rejected by his supporters even as it is embraced by his detractors.

Very few Americans are agnostic about Trump.

So, he might want to change media tactics a bit. Right now, I don't even know the name of Trump's spokesperson. But the candidate might consider having him or her fight some of the ongoing battles that can drain any human being.

Save the big stuff for the Don!

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

Intellectual Dishonesty

2023-08-29T07:00:00Z

There is a reason that Vice President Kamala Harris polls so poorly, and that is Americans do not trust her intellect.

The appointment to find the "root causes" of illegal immigration has become a national joke, and her latest public statement is, perhaps, the worst analysis she has ever done.

Shortly after three innocent African-Americans were gunned down in Jacksonville, Florida, by a 21-year-old racist maniac, the Vice President put out a statement saying blacks are afraid to leave their homes for fear of being killed by white racists.

According to a study out of Columbia University, a devoted liberal school, 15 percent of all public shootings are classified as racial incidents, and that includes blacks harming whites and other groups.

An overwhelming 85 percent of shootings are done by criminals, many of them black-on-black violence.

Kamala Harris simply doesn't want to acknowledge that despite her once holding the Attorney General's job in California. She is blatantly misleading.

Why? Because the progressive narrative is that the USA is a "white supremacist" nation which fosters gun violence against blacks by whites.

The truth is that inner-city black drug gangs are terrorizing innocent African Americans every day, and that is indeed fear-inducing. It's also the "root cause" of violence against blacks, Kamala.

Try being intellectually honest for a change.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

2024 Outlook

2023-08-28T07:00:00Z

Donald Trump is dominating the Republican primary polling, and that situation may not change. His challengers continue to strive to get a foothold, never mind momentum.

In the face of this, the Democrats and their corporate media allies are forging an updated narrative: Trump will get hammered in a national election as most Americans don't want him to run.

Over the next few weeks, you will constantly hear that from the press.

It may be true that most Americans don't embrace the former president, but faced with a worse alternative, that might not matter.

President Biden is weak and may face serious accusations of bribery. That's not a long shot any longer, and astute observers know it. Impeachment looms even as Biden struggles to do his job. His trip to Maui was another disaster. At this point, only ardent Democrats support Biden.

Kamala Harris is another disaster, and polling averages show Trump beating her handily.

Governor Gavin Newsom has just about destroyed California, so there's that,

Donald Trump well understands his competition is in disarray, and that keeps him in the game despite his precarious legal situation. Anything can happen in 2024, so please stay close to us. We will continue to report the truth.

The No Spin News resumes tonight.

Debate Aftermath

2023-08-25T07:00:00Z

The aftermath of the Republican debate is basically nothing. Polling will arrive shortly that will indicate if any candidate prospered on the Milwaukee stage, but it's unlikely.

As I analyzed, the debate format is essentially obsolete. Candidates bring in rehearsed answers, sometimes there's some back and forth, moderators can't correct much, and the whole thing is stale.

Mike Pence could run the country, but he's not engaging. Same thing with Ron DeSantis. Chris Christie is too angry. Vivek doesn't understand foreign policy.

Nikki Hailey is smart and experienced but certainly not a woman of the people. Tim Scott needs more experience.

The big problem is that Donald Trump is so overwhelming other politicians come across as bland. It's like a battle of the bands between The Rolling Stones and Lawrence Welk (look him up).

It might be that after Trump, bland may work.

Probably not.

Enjoy the weekend. See you Monday for a not bland at all "No Spin News."

O'Reilly Reacts to GOP Debate

2023-08-23T07:00:00Z

Watched the debate. Didn't learn much. Questions from moderators were timid. Liveliest exchange between Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy about Trump's situation. Other candidates avoided that.

The moderators blew it big time by not asking Pence about Trump's post-election deportment. Huge omission.

Pence not convincing about much. Christie somewhat petty. Haley is smart but predictable. Tim Scott impressed me; he needs more experience but would make a great running mate for Trump.

I'm glad Ramaswamy is in there because he shakes it up a bit. He has no chance.

DeSantis was good on crime but lacks emotion. He is running Florida well and has the most accomplished resume among the contenders with the exception of Pence, who I don't believe is connecting with GOP voters.

Trump was the winner last night. Maybe DeSantis has stopped the bleeding. Christie will get anti-Trump support.

Finally, the moderators tried but did not distinguish themselves. Tough gig, no question. Questions have to be sharp and short. They were not. More analysis posted on the site.

The Debate

2023-08-22T08:10:00Z

Will watch the Republican debate tonight and tweet or X throughout. My expectations are fairly low because while the candidates are patriotic, incisive questioning will be non-existent.

The format allows uninterrupted responses, which means candidates can drift all over the place. Expect some shots at Trump but outside of Chris Christie; those should be mild.

My four live history shows with the former president were very illuminating. This is what I learned. The policy was always tied to a deal. For example, Mr. Trump managed to get Mexico to stop the mass migration by threatening to wage war on the cartels, which Obrador did not want.

Trump managed to suppress Putin's evil by helping him make money in the European energy market. The same thing with powerful American companies; the former president lifted regulations and tamped down taxes so profits flowed. That benefited American workers as well.

It was all dealing, all the time.

What really angered Trump was he received no credit for his successes from the media. So, he often lashed out and became somewhat paranoid, which led to poor decision-making in the final days.

His GOP challengers, in general, don't understand any of that. Maybe they have solutions to vexing problems, and that's what I will be looking for this evening. Bashing Biden will be on display, but that's really not that important. Creative problem solving is.

Follow @BillOReilly this evening. It will be worthwhile.

A Different Code

2023-08-22T07:00:00Z

Many Americans have no idea how Washington, DC, and the corporate media work. That's because duplicity and dishonesty are not hallmarks of the working class, generally speaking. But in the cutthroat white-collar precincts, there is a far different code of conduct.

Some examples. The Justice Department has failed to aggressively investigate a number of cases concerning big-time Democrats like Hillary Clinton and the Biden family. That has been demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt.

The reason is that the unelected bureaucracy in DC is largely comprised of liberal "civil servants." That doesn't change when a Republican administration takes over, as Donald Trump found out, to his horror.

So, members of government agencies bring their ideological preferences to work every day. When Hunter Biden dodged big-time taxes, the US Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, wanted no part of going after Hunter because it might be a "career killer."

It's the same story in the corporate media. Many executives who supervise news agencies are liberal. Once they achieve corporate power, they are generally sympathetic to the Democratic Party. Often, their social lives are dominated by invitations to events organized by like-minded people.

Hollywood is like that as well.

Media people who don't fly the liberal flag are heavily outnumbered and sometimes shunned in the workplace. Better to go along. Don't want to harm the career.

Power in the USA is not evenly distributed. The result is corruption.

Trump's Latest Moves

2023-08-21T12:00:00Z

Donald Trump continues to dominate political discussion as he plans the next year of his life. He canceled a press conference this evening where he was supposed to present "evidence" of his innocence in Georgia. And he said, "Not gonna do it" to Wednesday's Republican debate.

The former president is wise not to signal his legal defense this early in the process because whatever he comes up with would be derided by the media, which will turn any exculpatory "evidence" into negative headlines.

Fair and accurate reporting regarding Mr. Trump is as rare as contrition by Hunter Biden.

As for the debate, the same game would be in play. Even if Trump came across as Socrates, the press would hammer him and glorify his attackers. The moderators could not control the invective, and the chances that the dialogue would descend into "you're a criminal" .... "well, you're fat"... are about 100 percent.

Every Democrat in the country was looking to the potential mud fest.

So, Donald Trump is wise to strengthen his defenses against the coming onslaught of hate from many different directions. His main rival Joe Biden is virtually inaccessible. Trump doesn't have to do that but should let caution be his guide.

Hope you read my new column on the site. Will check in later via tweet.

America's Youth

2023-08-21T07:22:00Z

Not easy being a young adult today. Opportunity is still there if you get educated and work hard but American culture is pretty much collapsing, and social restraints are few.

Never before has it been easier to lie, take drugs, run up debt, access harmful images on the net, defame people, steal, betray family and friends, reject religion, and essentially live only for yourself.

Even many violent crimes go unpunished as progressive relativism sweeps across our once-traditional nation.

Immature minds can't possibly put the social changes in perspective, so many Americans are simply adrift, easy targets for the propaganda crews.

Parents are the last line of defense, and we all know about the frightening breakdown of the family unit, especially in poor communities.

It's a bleak landscape with little leadership to counter destructive social trends. I'm very glad I'm not a young guy today.

This Message of the Day was originally published on February 3, 2023.

Flawed vs. Evil

2023-08-18T07:00:00Z

There is a better than even chance that President Biden will not survive the influence-peddling situation that is about to get much worse in September when the House hearings resume.

Now, I don't know if old Joe received money or other compensation from his son and brother, but if he did - that would dwarf anything Donald Trump is charged with.

Millions of Americans would be happy to see Joe Biden go down in flames, and the same is true with Donald Trump.

Many folks would be happy to see these two guys humiliated or worse.

Not me.

I'm not virtue signaling, an insipid action, but talking straight: the destruction of human beings does not please me unless they are flat-out evil which Biden and Trump are not. Flawed, yes. Evil, no.

That's not to say I oppose justice. If Trump and Biden acted dishonestly, a steep price should be paid. But am I wishing for that verdict? No, I am not.

I hope neither man is guilty of crimes. The country would be stronger if that turned out to be true.

So how about you? Are you with me on this? Let me know. Bill@BillOReilly.com.

The Political Component

2023-08-17T08:31:00Z

The most important aspect of the Trump charges is the political component. It is obvious that the US Justice Department is anxious to try the former president and not anxious to see Hunter Biden in federal court.

That's a fact and has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of either man. It has everything to do with using political power to destroy opposition or protect those "on your side."

The first Supreme Court Justice, John Marshall, understood that, which is why he engineered the acquittal of Aaron Burr on charges of treason.

In 1806, President Thomas Jefferson publicly accused his former Vice-President, Burr, of treason. Jefferson tried to use his vast power to destroy Burr, who might have actually been guilty.

But Marshall, who presided over the federal trial in Virginia, realized that if Jefferson prevailed, powerful politicians could use the justice system to neutralize opponents.

And that's what is happening today with Trump. The charges against him may have some validity, but the overall strategy is to "get him" out of the political arena.

Thus, I am predicting today's Supreme Court will eventually have to get involved with all this.

Back in a moment.

Misinformation Daze

2023-08-16T07:00:00Z

Since less than 20 percent of American adults now consume corporate media, the perception of Donald Trump has evolved into a "street corner" issue. By that, I mean that folks are forming opinions about Trump's legal problems by what they are told by friends and family, rather than anything "the say anything for profit" news organizations put out.

This is not a positive development because false information streaks through casual conversations, and everybody knows it.

But no longer is there a fair press to correct the record.

So, most Americans live in a daze of misinformation and ideological propaganda.

That is the truth.

More truth. Donald Trump was far too casual with "the rules," and that is causing him and the Republican Party tremendous grief. I mean, come on, just send the blankin' documents back, right? Who gives a fig?

Same thing with the election stuff. State your opinion and then do everything you can legally to right what you think was wrong.

I said a few days after the 2020 vote that Attorney General Barr should have appointed a Special Prosecutor to look into fraud allegations - that Rudy Giuliani wasn't close to being enough.

But as always, Donald Trump marches to that "different drummer."

And here we are.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Crash & Burn

2023-08-15T07:00:00Z

Plans often crash and burn, and most folks don't know how to handle that. Look at the New York Mets and San Diego Padres. Management is paying the players hundreds of millions of dollars, and their seasons are bankrupt. Doesn't matter why. It happened; now what?

Joe Biden and Donald Trump are both in the "c and b" zone. It may be unfair. Both deserve a presumption of innocence. But they won't get it, not in 2023 America, where the corrupt, money-grabbing media has destroyed due process.

Therefore, here's what both should do IF neither committed crimes. The President should say he regrets using his power to enrich his family, which he absolutely did. So, admit it and say you're sorry.

The former President should say he regrets not responding to the National Archives document request with urgency. He obviously did not take the security situation seriously enough. So, admit it and say you're sorry.

The unknown here is whether Mr. Biden accepted gratuities from his son and brother in any form. If he did, he should resign.

As for Mr. Trump, the allegation is he knew he lost to Biden but contrived to hold power anyway. If that's true - and I don't think it is - he should stop his campaign.

Crashing and burning is the worst. It's not easy to mitigate. But honesty is the eventual way out.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Political War

2023-08-14T07:00:00Z

The political war in America has reached critical mass with yet another charge coming against Trump (state election beef in Georgia) and two House committees closing in on the Biden family finances.

Both situations are already impacting the presidential outlook for 2024.

Trump supporters will not be dissuaded from supporting him, and the same is true for the Biden people unless it can be proven that Joe actually pocketed cash from his son and brother.

Bribery will trump voting allegations and document hoarding, pun intended.

Donald Trump acted irrationally by not immediately returning classified documents and trying to "reimagine" the 2020 vote. Clear thinkers understand that.

Joe Biden used his power to enrich his family and perhaps himself. Clear thinkers know that.

So both men have dubious resumes as the campaign begins, and no one knows how the controversies will eventually play out. Trump and Biden are entitled to due process, but that Constitutional mandate has been severely damaged by media and justice department corruption. Not to mention that millions of Americans don't even respect the presumption of innocence anymore.

Thank you, TV and print news agencies.

Thus, we the people are facing the most chaotic presidential vote since Bush-Gore. And chances are the Supreme Court will once again have to weigh in.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Tool of the Devil

2023-08-11T13:38:00Z

There are theologians that believe the Smart Phone is a tool of the devil, a device that will prevent millions of people from living lives of honor.

The basis for this belief is that there is instant access to evil right in your hand. Every vice can be indulged; drugs can be purchased, gambling, illicit sex, adultery, defamation, cheating on examinations, financial fraud - you name it - the Smart Phone can serve it up. To everyone. No boundaries.

Those of us who were raised before the high tech revolution have a better chance of controlling the situation because in many cases morality is hard wired into us. We can recite the Ten Commandments and understand the necessity of them in a civil society.

But many younger Americans have no moral guidelines whatsoever. They live in a world where their wants and needs are all that matters.

The Smart phone calls and tempts those weak and uneducated people. It dominates millions of lives every hour on the hour. There is no moderation in cyberspace. If it feels good, do it. To borrow a phrase from the 1960's.

So the judgmental theologians are correct. Satan's soul-stealing job is now much easier since the world has taken a big bite of the apple. So to speak.

New column Sunday. Live show October 27. Best news analysis anywhere on BillOReilly.com.

Oppenheimer

2023-08-10T07:00:00Z

The movie Oppenheimer is worth your time, which is three hours plus counting insipid coming attractions, mostly about grisly horror stuff.

In reality, Oppenheimer itself is a real-life horror film about weapons that can obliterate the planet. Even the Rock couldn't save it.

Oppenheimer will win the Oscar for Best Picture because Hollywood is desperately trying to save itself, and this is an actual movie that deals with documented history. It's not woke or foolish, or patronizing. There are no zombies or superheroes. If you watch it, you will have to possess a frame of reference, or you'll be lost.

Having written "Killing the Rising Sun," I watched Oppenheimer with a critical eye. My book goes much deeper into the Japanese conflict, but I had 300 pages. The movie takes a gratuitous shot at President Harry Truman and, for some reason, sprinkles jarring nudity around, but the project is light years better than any recent film.

All human beings should understand the destruction stakes in this world. Guys like Putin and Xi could embrace nuclear madness. Oppenheimer doesn't settle for simple. It will bring you up to speed.

I'll have a formal review this evening on the No Spin News. See you then.

Mounting Evidence

2023-08-09T15:52:00Z

As we reported on television last night, President Biden's situation with his son parallels that of Richard Nixon, who resigned from the presidency 49 years ago this week.

It took a while for evidence against Nixon to be presented, but once the White House tapes were ordered released by a federal judge, there was no doubt Nixon tried to cover up the Watergate burglary.

Joe Biden should study the Watergate investigation because he is in legal peril. It is true the President has a compliant Attorney General and a corrupt corporate media on his side, but that will not be enough in the court of public opinion.

Evidence is mounting that, as Vice President, Biden helped his son and brother amass millions from foreign companies. There's little question that happened. And, stunningly, Mr. Biden lied about it in a presidential debate.

House Republicans smell blood. They don't like Biden and are horrified by his son Hunter's soft treatment by the misnamed Justice Department. The noose is tightening.

Of course, former President Trump has his own legal problems, but they will not diminish Joe Biden's. Wait and see.

And we'll see you tonight for the No Spin News.

Heating Up

2023-08-08T07:00:00Z

President Biden is off to Arizona to tell everyone that it's hot there and climate change is real. No problem with that. Arizona is indeed a hot property, and the heat is on worldwide as well.

However, I don't believe Mr. Biden has any idea how to mitigate global warming. Neither does his top climate change guy John Kerry. What the left really wants is to increase government power over the individual by telling each of us what we can and can't do in our lives.

In case you haven't noticed, climate change is being used to increase government entitlements to minorities, to increase federal spending beyond any capability to pay for alternative energy, and to marginalize all opposition. If you question man-made warming, you should be canceled immediately.

For me, there is danger everywhere. The planet is heating up largely because China, India, and Russia continue their massive pollution, and the West cannot stop those countries.

As far as the USA is concerned, I want the cleanest country possible. But I don't want totalitarians to take over in order to get there.

So, I hope Mr. Biden has plenty of sunscreen and makes some sense in his sunbelt remarks. We need sane leadership on this issue.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Facts

2023-08-07T07:00:00Z

The other day on the cable news network NewsNation, Chris Cuomo introduced me as a guy who would "defend" Donald Trump.

Puzzling.

My analysis of all-powerful people is based on facts. So, if real things happen, I will insert them into my broadcasts or articles.

Two examples. Since I sometimes speak directly to Mr. Trump, I can factually state that he has never wavered in his stated belief that the election of 2020 was "stolen" from him. Is that statement "defending" Trump?

I have also reported that the former President believes what he wants to believe and seeks out opinions that correspond with his own. If federal prosecutors attempt to impeach that analysis, they will lose. What I am telling you is in stone fact.

Example number two is Joe Biden saying he was not involved in Hunter Biden's foreign money grab. The President says this because that's what he wants to believe - just like Donald Trump. He is absolutely rationalizing his demonstrable interactions with his son.

Those who despise Trump or Biden generally don't care at all about "facts." They convict or acquit based on political preference - what they prefer to believe.

This is our society today. And that's a fact.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Terrible Week

2023-08-04T16:03:00Z

Terrible week for the country. The voters are digging in along ideological lines, and that means problem-solving will go to the back of the line.

About 40 percent of the country continues to back President Biden, according to the polling average. It can't be on job performance as government spending is out of control, immigration law has been destroyed by the White House, and prices for necessities like food and fuel are draining working Americans.

In addition, there is now no question that Mr. Biden participated in a lucrative influence-selling scheme. So why would any American want to reward him with a vote?

On the Republican side, polling leader Donald Trump is under siege from the corrupt justice department, but the former president has made a series of bad decisions which have empowered those who want to destroy him.

In the middle of this political catastrophe are honest Americans who just want a sane country that provides a pathway to success. Where is their standard bearer?

So, we continue to live in a growing discomfort zone, and common ground is almost impossible to find. That is not what the founders had in mind.

Is it?

New column Sunday noon.

Debating a Debate

2023-08-04T04:05:00Z

Apparently, Fox News executives met with Donald Trump at his golf club in New Jersey to persuade him to show up at the FNC debate in late August.

No doubt the pitch was that access to the network would be important to Trump's campaign in the future, and he would be treated fairly by FNC debate moderators.

That is likely true, but the FNC people will not be able to control Chris Christie and Nikki Haley, who will both try to eviscerate Trump. In fact, none of the GOP contenders have a chance unless they can downgrade Trump.

In addition, the former president's lead in the polls is so big he has little to gain by attacking his rivals which he would do. Let the mud-fest begin.

Donald Trump is not afraid of anyone; that has been demonstrated time and again. Voters who support Trump know that and will not abandon him if he doesn't debate.

Finally, Democrats and the leftist media desperately hope Trump will show up so they can use Christie's harsh rhetoric to attack the former president. That would be the headline the next day.

Debating can be useful. But the fix is already in on this one.

If you missed the No Spin News last night, you've got to see it. Hope you'll take the time.

Another Indictment for President Trump

2023-08-03T02:36:00Z

Another day, another Trump indictment. Special Prosecutor Jack Smith now alleges President Trump actively tried to subvert the 2020 election and knew the vote was not corrupt but said it was.

This is no surprise. It's payback for House Republicans going after President Biden on possible bribery charges. The Democrats have coordinated the legal attacks on Trump - informally of course, no fingerprints - and just a few minutes after Smith's latest, New York Attorney General Leticia James announced she's ready to charge the Trump organization with fraud in a civil case.

Fulton County, Georgia will be next.

Not since Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus in 1862 has the federal government flexed so much political power. The progressive movement is sending a message: Leave Joe Biden alone or we'll destroy the GOP entirely.

All of this is brutal for the American people, who are becoming more polarized by the hour. The Justice Department can indict anyone. It took a ridiculous two and a half years to bring this latest case.

There is a chance of mutual destruction here; that both Biden and Trump get knocked out. And I do expect the Supreme Court to enter the fracas down the road.

In the meantime, people on both sides will wind up ruined. And America as we once knew it, is rapidly disappearing.

Wasting Away in Biden-ville

2023-08-01T07:00:00Z

President Biden is on vacation, but it's hard to tell because his White House workload comprises about two hours and twenty minutes daily. Right now, he's on the Delaware shore going all Jimmy Buffet on us.

And while we're on the subject of wasting away in Margaritaville, Hunter's endless summer continues despite the fact that a federal judge ordered him to get a job. So Hunter is supposed to be hunting, so to speak.

His resume might look like this.

- Yale graduate, a law degree.

- Consumer of Narcotics

- Started international companies that were amazingly successful. The strategy was inspired. We do nothing but put my dad on the phone; you pay us millions.

- Not yet a member of "grifters anonymous" but might join.

- Would like an opportunity to make a ton of money without having to go to an office or have any deadlines.

- References include the estate of Al Capone, Jill Biden, and Merrick Garland.

- Can start immediately but needs ten weeks vacation like my dad. Also, I can handle anything lap top related - especially Russian disinformation.

- Would prefer my compensation to be in cash.

- My father would be grateful if you hired me, and you know what that means.

- You can contact me directly in Malibu, California. Barbra Streisand knows where I live.

Thanks for considering.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Damaging Trump

2023-07-31T15:35:00Z

The heavy odds are that Donald Trump will have to sign off on a plea deal before the Republican Convention next summer. The Biden Justice Department knows the indictments are all low-level beefs, but breaking the law is just that. The DOJ plan is to damage Trump with "a thousand cuts."

It is very likely that the former president will win the GOP nomination anyway, which is what the Dems want. Then the election of 2024 once again becomes a referendum on Trump.

It is not likely that Joe Biden will run again. His health and grossly irresponsible son are crushing him. Also, he may have taken tainted money. No proof yet; a feverish investigation by Republicans.

With Joe out, Kamala might not be able to beat Trump, so the party is now casting around for a more desirable candidate.

So that's where we are as we enter August when the presidential race kicks off with the Republican debate. Time flies when you're investigating criminal activity.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Justice System

2023-07-28T15:49:00Z

The legal onslaught against former President Trump continues, and there's more to come. The Biden administration is determined to destroy Mr. Trump, and only public opinion stands in the way of that.

Despite case after case, some of the charges vague and contrived, Trump's poll numbers remain strong, and he's well ahead in the primary race.

The timing of the new "add on" classified document charges on Thursday was, of course, designed to divert attention away from Hunter and Joe Biden. The Justice Department could have waited, but Special Counsel Jack Smith is in business to take Trump out and make it easier for the Democratic Party to win the 2024 election. Smith will deny that all day long, but it's true.

That doesn't mean there's no validity to the document situation, but placed beside massive influence peddling by the Biden's - which is now documented - which is more important in your opinion?

More truth. The Justice System in America has collapsed. And it will take intense reform to restore it.

Have a nice weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Something's Wrong

2023-07-27T15:32:00Z

Did you see Senator Mitch McConnell freeze in front of the TV cameras yesterday? I mean, literally freeze.

Something's wrong.

And not just with the Senate minority leader. Senator Dianne Feinstein can't even walk down the hall, and a bunch of other powerful elected folks are in their cups.

But by far, the most concerning senior citizen in the country is President Biden. The strategy now is pretty much limit him to two canned speeches a week and multiple naps. We report his event calendar every day, and there's usually little on it. Yesterday, he did a podcast with a guy named Jay Shetty. That's it.

Cognitive decline is a fact of life, but when it befalls powerful people - people can get hurt. I do not believe Joe Biden understands what's happening on the border, in the economy, or even what his son Hunter did.

That's plenty scary.

Mr. Biden is cloistered by his ambitious wife and White House security. No one can evaluate what's happening in the Executive branch. He will only do cupcake interviews (hello, NBC News) and avoids clarifying anything because he simply can't clarify anything.

The man says he wants to run again. Run for what, Mr. President? When's the election? Where's your campaign staff?

Maybe Jay Shetty knows.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Grifters

2023-07-26T15:32:00Z

Got an email from a liberal friend of mine complaining that the evidence against President Biden doesn't amount to much. Liberal TV pundit Jessica Tarlov said the same thing as did Wolf Blitzer's CNN crew.

This is all absurd, of course. It is a fact that the Biden family grifted between $17 and $30 million dollars from foreign companies. Joe says he didn't know the scheme was underway, but his son Hunter said on the laptop he did. Others involved in the grift back up Hunter.

So, Joe Biden is in major trouble, and his media protectors will soon have to retreat. But don't expect the left to turn on Joe because it won't. Many Republicans disavowed Nixon, but America was a different place back then.

Today, it's all about power and ideology.
Honest behavior is way down the list.

Fairly soon, karma will visit Joe Biden.
The ghosts of hundreds of thousands of fentanyl victims will swirl. Those women and children migrants, victims of Mexican cartels, will be present in spirit. Biden's open border policy has caused massive suffering and death. Otherworldly payback is assured.

As soon as Joe leaves the stage, the media and democrats will step up attacking Trump. Yes, that is possible.

Once, we were a country that valued honor. We are not any longer. And soon, karma may be coming for us as well.

Enough Evidence

2023-07-25T15:46:00Z

House Republicans believe they will have enough evidence to confront President Biden on selling his influence. Whether Mr. Biden took direct payments from his son and/or brother is still not clarified.

Once upon a time in this country, using political power to enrich your family would have been ruinous. It is now beyond any doubt that the Biden's reaped at least $17 million from foreign operations - probably more.

For what?

There is no quo for the quid. The Bidens brought nothing to the table other than Joe's status as Vice President.

The narrative is now changing from Joe Biden saying he never "discussed" business with Hunter to saying he never "did" business with his son.

BS is an understatement.

But deceitful White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is happy to shovel it all day, every day.

Generally, the corporate media will not even report the situation so the President believes he'll get away with his shoddy, perhaps illegal, behavior. But he won't.

It is payback time for the GOP. They think they're taking Mr. Biden down. Better than even chance they're right.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Culture War Conflicts

2023-07-24T07:00:00Z

Culture War skirmishes have broken out in the state of Florida and in the country music world. Let's begin in the land of sunshine.

Florida education officials want public school students to learn about how the despicable institution of slavery actually provided a positive to blacks. The development of various skills say the state, should be studied.

This is literally moronic. Like blacks would not have developed skills if they were free? Come on. You don't bother pointing out so-called "benefits" in a horrific situation like slavery. That's like saying Native Americans were lucky they were forced onto reservations because they could learn to cook bacon. So what? History should be taught focusing on what's important, not meaningless sideshow stuff.

Predictably, the race hustlers led by Vice President Harris went wild, attacking Florida. Why give these people hammers?

The other culture battle involves singer Jason Aldean who recorded a song saying "small town" values and attitudes are different than those in big cities. Jason puts forth that rural folks will not put up with degrading behavior as many urban areas do.

Of course, this is true.

But the progressive left doesn't want that opinion expressed, so Aldean is deemed a racist because that's what the far-left loons always do. And the country music establishment has largely turned its back on him.

This is even more imbecilic than the Florida thing. If you don't like the song, don't listen. But the totalitarians want Jason Aldean canceled immediately.

And so it goes in the divided states of America. How about a little sanity, people?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Tipping Point

2023-07-21T17:14:00Z

Not a great week for President Biden, but you'd never know it from the media coverage of the whistleblowers. The Associated Press article played the entire cash-for-influence thing down using the word "unverified."

Can't remember the AP ever using that word when allegations were lodged against Trump.

And how can you ever "verify" if you don't investigate?

I'm talking to you, Merrick Garland.

Anyway, it looks to me that Joe Biden knew about the massive amount of money flowing into his family. But it is beyond any doubt that millions of Americans don't care - including the corrupt media.

However, there will come a tipping point for Mr. Biden when he's exposed as a shakedown artist or vindicated.

That point will most likely arrive this coming autumn.

Enjoy the weekend.

The Fix

2023-07-20T07:45:00Z

On the Cuomo program last night, your humble correspondent got a bit worked up because so many Americans are diminishing the Biden finances story. Now, I understand the politics of the situation, but the overriding issue here is corruption at the federal level, not party nonsense.

The evidence is overwhelming that three Justice Departments led by Eric Holder, Bill Barr, and now, Merrick Garland, impeded the investigation into Hunter Biden's influence peddling. No question that happened to the tune of at least $17 million.

Yet Congressional Democrats could not care less. Same thing with the corporate media as well as 33 percent of voters who continue to support a compromised President.

Depressing doesn't even come close.

The rationalization is that Trump is the devil, so it doesn't matter what Biden does. You heard that during the whistleblower testimony on Wednesday. Democrats on the Oversight Committee simply don't care. They tried to make the testimony about Trump.

Pathetic.

Fifty-four years ago this week, Senator Edward Kennedy left 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in a car Kennedy drove into Chappaquiddick Creek. The Senator escaped and did not report the situation for ten hours. He could have easily been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

But a corrupt Massachusetts judge covered for Kennedy. The fix was in, and the Senator avoided any meaningful punishment.

The fix is also apparent in the Biden family finance situation for about ten years. That is flat-out corrupt.

Or am I wrong?

Please don't forget the live town hall Monday evening at 8 on this site. I will be answering your questions about the Biden story.

The Real Race

2023-07-19T07:00:00Z

Now it is a race. The two runners are the political parties, Republicans and Democrats. The finish line is taking out Trump or Biden, the former President first.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has alerted Donald Trump that he will most likely be indicted on federal charges that he illegally interfered with the 2020 election. A DC Grand Jury has to sign off on the specifics, and they will. An Alabama Grand Jury would not. My educated speculation is that the alleged "crimes" will be nebulous.

As for Biden, the whistleblowers are in full throttle. His Justice Department is failing to apply rigor to what looks like massive grifting by the Biden family. Republicans in the House, who control the Biden hearings, believe they are closing in on powerful evidence that the President himself benefited from the massive amount of money his son and brother received from overseas interests.

The vital question is: who will go down first - Biden or Trump?

Unanswerable right now.

But the end game is coming.

Senator Ted Cruz is on the No Spin News tonight.

Weathering the Storm

2023-07-18T07:00:00Z

It's too early for all this presidential stuff. Too many things are going to happen over the next 90 days, which will better define the race. At this point, here's what's established.

- The progressive left is heavily funding President Biden because he does far-left bidding without question. Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg is basically running Biden's campaign. Katzenberg is a zealot who entertained people's fear. A negative word from him, you're retired.

- Donald Trump is far ahead in Republican polling. No matter what charges are leveled against him, his supporters remain loyal.

- Governor Ron DeSantis slipped out of the gate because he's not charismatic, and Americans have now equated politics with show biz.

- South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is raising a lot of money. Donald Trump may put him on the ticket as VP, which is why you don't hear Scott hammering Trump.

- Chris Christie has no chance even if he beats Trump up. Possible felony charges there.

- and finally, where is Michelle Obama these days? Joe Biden is day-to-day, and the Obamas know it. Not a joke, as old Joe might say.

So, there you have it. But the winds of change are coming. I will be your weatherman.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Gilgo Beach

2023-07-17T15:23:00Z

In the summer of 1967, I worked as a Water Safety Instructor for the Town of Babylon, Long Island, New York.

In the confines of that Town, about 40 miles east of New York City, lies Gilgo Beach, which I know well. Classic summer spot full of surfers and families. A snack bar that's been there for 70 years. A few beach houses.

Gilgo has a California vibe. Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello could have shot their beach movies there. The area is a beautiful seascape that, at one time, epitomized summer innocence.

Now it's haunted forever.

Between 1996 and 2011, a serial killer planted at least 10 bodies along the barrier island where Gilgo is. Most were sex workers.

In the winter, depositing corpses in the dense scrub east of the beach would have been easy. No one around, and access into the brush is difficult for the unprepared - few people ever go there.

Last week, police arrested 59-year-old Rex Heuermann for some of the Gilgo murders. It took more than a decade, but DNA science finally got him.

Heuermann says he didn't do it. However, my analysis is the opposite. He's entitled to a defense, but I believe he'll eventually confess. He has a wife, a grown daughter, and a special needs son. More victims. Their lives are damaged forever.

This story demonstrates that evil takes many forms. No one is immune from it. It appears at random, wreaking destruction.

But evil is essentially a theological concept, so it is largely ignored in public schools. Society, in general, rarely discusses it.

But we all know it is present. Every day. Everywhere. Stay alert.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Case of Cocaine at the White House

2023-07-14T08:29:00Z

The Secret Service needs the services of the great Sherlock Holmes to crack the White House cocaine case. As historians well know, the legendary British detective had his own infatuation with the drug, so his hands-on experience might come in handy!

The Service seems to be giving up trying to find the drug courier, but let's use some deductive reasoning here. What kind of a loon would smuggle blow into a White House tour situation and then have the wherewithal to find a closet in which to stash it?

So, Watson, the tourist scenario is bogus.

That means someone working or living in the Executive Mansion is responsible. Has the Secret Service tested the coke for DNA? We don't know because they won't say.

Does the Service randomly drug test folks with access to the White House? We don't know.

Is Hunter Biden low on supply?

Sorry, insane cheap shot, and now I have to go to confession on Saturday.

My theory is this: the same person who leaked the Alito Supreme Court memo dropped off the blow. He or she has no fear after getting completely away with an unbelievable judicial breech. I'll run this by Sherlock if I can get him away from the pipe.

In the meantime, if you actually think the feds have any interest in solving the cocaine intrusion, you must be on drugs.

So to speak.

Enjoy the weekend.

Swamp Victory

2023-07-13T08:53:00Z

It was annoying in the extreme to see FBI chief Christopher Wray pretty much walk away from the House Judicial Committee hearing unscathed.

Now, I have nothing against Wray personally, but on his watch, the FBI has descended into political turmoil.

Democrats on the committee could not care less and spent their time bashing Trump and MAGA. Boring and unproductive.

Republicans wanted to make speeches about how bad the FBI is instead of pinning Wray down with specific, simple questions.

Here are a few:

- The FBI had advanced information that a violent action might take place on January 6 at the Capitol. Who was alerted, and why was no action taken by the Bureau?

- Twitter executives say the FBI visited them and suggested they censor news about Hunter Biden's laptop. Did you know about that, Mr. Wray?

- An FBI informant told the Bureau he had evidence then Vice President Biden took money from Hunter and Jim Biden. Agents put those allegations into a memo that you refused to share with Congressional investigators. Why?

- Are those Biden allegations currently under investigation?

- And finally, did the IRS request FBI assistance in the Hunter Biden tax investigation?

Incredibly, Wray was not asked those simple questions.

The swamp wins again.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Woke Weisenheimers

2023-07-12T15:48:00Z

Going to college is different than it was when I, your humble correspondent, got degrees from three schools.

I can say this with certainty because I have two urchins participating in higher education, and the tuition bills are something to see.

I carry them around in case I run into Joe Biden, the debt forgiveness guy.

Anyway, back in the Stone Age, I got a Bachelor’s Degree in History from Marist College, a Master's in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University, and another Master's from Harvard's Kennedy School, that one in Public Administration.

So when it comes to matriculating - don't mess with me.

Enter Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The Ivy is so woke alarm clocks are totally unnecessary.

The school newspaper recently took a survey and reported that 38 percent of the students are gay. Or something approaching gay. Or something.

That brought immediate social media headlines and predictable reactions. There was celebration in San Francisco and the gnashing of teeth In conservative districts.

The reaction is just what the wisenheimers at Brown wanted.

So, homosexuals comprise about 7 percent of the world population, according to most scientific studies.

Another study, done by me, says 75 percent of Brown students are happy to mock every survey they receive.

Gay? Sure!

And exceedingly happy to take you for a ride.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

In God We Trust

2023-07-11T07:00:00Z

God received some good press when President Dwight Eisenhower signed legislation that put the phrase "In God We Trust" on the U.S. currency. That happened this week in 1955, and, despite court challenges over the years, the inscription still stands.

Eisenhower took action to counter the Soviet Union, which was actively suppressing all theological expression. The totalitarian Soviet State replaced the God stuff.

Today, religion and belief in "a higher power" is rapidly diminishing in America. We are a secular country that celebrates self-pursuits. The so-called greater good is antiquated for many of us.

This is leading to strife and division across the board. Crime is often not punished, technology overwhelms spirituality, and personal satisfaction is paramount.

Forget about the Ten Commandments. Sorry, you can't forget something you never knew. The concept of good vs. evil can't possibly exist if you don't accept that some conduct is unbecoming. We are a nation that often rationalizes bad behavior.

Once, religious leaders had influence and power in the USA, and some of them badly misused that. The result: there are no religious people who can counter the relentless secularists. Not one.

The United States was founded on Judeo-Christian philosophy. Today, many citizens have no idea what that even is.

Trust that God is not pleased.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Seeking the Truth

2023-07-10T07:00:00Z

This weekend, I wrote a column about my investigation into the Biden family's finances. Some incisive stuff you will find nowhere else. The column posted on BillOReilly.com cannot be disputed because it's entirely fact-based.

I am not interested in party politics or ideological analysis. We have more than enough of both, and it's often repetitive and dishonest, which is why you hear the same phrases repeated over and over.

As an intellectual exercise, I sent the Biden column to some liberal acquaintances. Their replies were not surprising: Trump did worse, so it doesn't matter what the Bidens may have done.

As always, on the left, it's Trump, Trump, Trump. All else be damned.

At this point in American history, the country is so divided that problem-solving and greater good fact-finding is almost extinct. You pick your team, memorize the playbook, and expel independent thought.

That means that propaganda rules, justice is often ignored or covered up, and voters are denied valid information about their country.

Seeking the truth in order to help others is the highest calling. We in America are rapidly rejecting that. Down the road, the consequences will be brutal.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Cultural Divide

2023-07-07T08:42:00Z

PBS ran a special on Marvin Gaye the other day, and I watched it. Charismatic guy with a string of hits in the 1970s. His father shot him to death on April 1, 1984, one day before his 45th birthday.

As a White suburban kid, Motown was my transistor favorite, and Gaye was under that Berry Gordy umbrella. I was (and still am today) partial to The Four Tops. "Are You Man Enough" and "Keeper of the Castle" are my favorites. Lead singer, the late Levi Stubbs, was the best.

Back in the 70s, Black and White Americans shared entertainment, especially music and TV. Sitcoms like "The Jeffersons," "Sanford and Son," and
"Good Times" transcended skin color. We all watched and enjoyed the same shows.

Same with pop. Smokey Robinson, Mr. Gaye, and Diana Ross were celebrated everywhere.

Today, that kind of uniformity is gone.

A few weeks ago, I went to a Kool and the Gang concert. Mostly white crowd. African-Americans now have their own entertainment industry led by hip-hop. Whites have country music and classic rock. Black audiences enjoy black comedians. Whites like their Caucasian guys and gals.

On TV, same thing. Black-themed programs and White-dominated displays. A little crossover but not much.

I don't listen to rap or comics whose vocabularies center around the M-F phrase. Blacks don't often listen to Jimmy Buffet or Sebastian Maniscalco.

So, races divide. Cultures are vastly different. One Nation Under God?

Not so much.

Enjoy the weekend.

Bad Ben & Jerry's

2023-07-06T07:00:00Z

Ben & Jerry's ice cream is just so-so. Haagen-Dazs is the gold standard, much better than the Vermont product. Both will make you fat.

But Ben & Jerry's will also make you stupid. Bad combination, dumb and zoftig. Not a resume enhancer.

If Che had not been assassinated in Bolivia, he might be on Ben and Jerry's board of directors. On July 4, the ice cream idiots put out a tweet condemning Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt, accusing them of stealing Native American land.

Che would have loved that. More Cherry Garcia, please.

The Ben & Jerry's folks are also demanding the USA "return" all the stolen property. Right on and far out. Power to the people.

Overlooked in the moronic tweet is the fact that in every country on the planet, power took property. No exceptions. Check out the Mongols, Vikings, Greeks, Romans, Russians, Chinese, Australians, and on and on.

Not justifying. Simply explaining the harsh reality of the world.

London seized the land of my ancestors in County Cavan, Ireland. Chances are your people lost big as well.

But back to the communist Ben & Jerry's outfit. The original owners, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield sold out to Unilever in 2000 for a whopping $336 million. Nice. You can buy lots of land with that, guys. Might return it to the Indians. Or, as they say in Cleveland, the Guardians.

But, no. Ben & Jerry's didn't do that. No surprise. Che and Fidel kept Cubans in abject poverty after promising prosperity. No Ben & Jerry's in Havana. Too expensive.

I guess I can sum it all up this way: Ice Cream is all American.

The Ben & Jerry's nitwits are not.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

White House Powder Problems

2023-07-05T07:00:00Z

Apparently, cocaine has been found in the White House, and the anti-Biden forces are cracking wise about Hunter. Predictable but certainly within satirical limits.

The Justice Department should be investigating because so-called "controlled substance" is under its jurisdiction.

However, in his quest to protect everything Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland is a bit confused about how to proceed. Should he call in Crockett and Tubbs from Miami Vice? Perhaps another US Attorney in Delaware is available. Didn't Hunter once live in Delaware before he moved to Malibu, California, to live in the nation's highest rent district?

Cocaine in proximity to the Oval Office is not a good look unless you're auditioning for a spot in the Mexican government. And how exactly did the blow get in there? Visitors to the White House are subjected to more scrutiny than Trump at a singles bar. Secret Service agents are wanding, X-raying, and profiling.

So how did the powder get through all that?

Don't know, and Joe Biden will not address it. But I think his new nickname, Super Fly, is unfair. Besides, I believe Hunter has already copyrighted it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Fourth of July

2023-07-04T07:29:00Z

The Fourth of July presents mixed emotions this year. According to Gallup, Americans who are strongly patriotic clock in at just 39 percent. On the other hand, about 90 percent acknowledge and celebrate the holiday, most often by having fun.

Interesting word, fun. It requires almost nothing. You do stuff you like. That's pretty much it.

But patriotism requires more. In order to respect your country, you have to learn things about it. You have to pay attention to history, past and present.

Often that's not fun. It requires effort and discipline.

There's a nice guy in my neighborhood. Whenever he sees me, he asks me news questions, as many folks do. But this fellow does not know what's actually happening in his country. Total blackout. Does not consume information or associate with anyone who does.

It is my patriotic duty to answer his questions politely. But I feel sorry for him and his family, who don't know much as well. Basically good people. Can't be bothered with the USA other than saluting the flag.

Are most citizens trending this way? I don't know about "most," but many are. And that's just what the villains in our federal and state governments want, easily-led voters who don't know anything.

So on this July 4, enjoy yourself. But pledge that you'll learn and pay attention. I've made it easy for you with the Killing books. Start with Killing England, then Killing Lincoln. They are fun to read.

Fun.

See you tomorrow for the No Spin News.

Superstar Talent is Disappearing

2023-06-30T14:42:00Z

Geraldo Rivera will be 80 years old on July 4, which is very hard to believe. I've known the Long Island icon for four of his eight decades. We were rivals, colleagues and presently teammates in raising money to help autistic Americans.

As Dennis Miller might say 'Geraldo is a different kind of cat.' Driven, energetic, determined to stick up for the underdog. Geraldo and I had one of the most intense debates in cable news history over illegal alien criminals. You should Google it.

Now, Geraldo is leaving Fox News where he toiled for 23 years. If you follow the TV News industry, you know profound changes are taking place. The golden age is over for both broadcast and cable. Things will never again be what they were.

I was incredibly fortunate to know the titans: Mike Wallace, Peter Jennings, Barbara Walters, Ted Koppel, Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, Tom Snyder, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Brit Hume, Charles Krauthammer and, yes, Geraldo.

Because of woke and cancel culture as well as greedy, incompetent news managers, super star talent is disappearing. To dominate, you have to take risks. Not happening anymore. Too much danger. Better to play it safe.

So, sorry to see Rivera go. Just about last legacy man standing. As Bob Hope once sang, "thanks for the memories."

New column Sunday noon.

Managing the Addiction Mayhem

2023-06-29T07:00:00Z

On NewsNation last night, I debated Chris Cuomo about my column entitled "They're Not Victims." I put forth that the millions of Americans addicted to substance have no right to commit crimes to support their quest to get high, nor do they have the right to engender societal chaos such as destroying cities.

The only solution to the addiction-caused mayhem is to have "mandatory" drug treatment in humane facilities if drug people are caught committing a crime.

The liberal Cuomo agreed with the mandatory treatment vision but posited that I am being too tough on the addicts themselves. He trotted out big Pharma and a litany of social ills to deflect from personal behavior.

It is true that some people are so emotionally wrecked, they seek solace in intoxication. But we cannot let damaged addicts damage innocent people. Period. And that's what's happening in this country on a scale never before seen.

Remember, most child abuse and neglect is caused by substance abusers. Who protects those innocents?

It is long past time to isolate drug addicts in medical settings where they can get help. Also, taking them off the streets destroys the narcotics marketplace and sends a strong message about civilized behavior.

Allowing substance abusers to run wild, which is happening now, is unfair to the vast majority of Americans.

And that is the truth.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

More Missteps from the FBI

2023-06-28T07:00:00Z

Donald Trump caught a significant break this week when the Senate Homeland Security Committee issued a report that said the FBI received information in advance about the January 6th attack on the US Capitol and did nothing about it.

The report is striking because it's bipartisan and clear, once again, the Bureau violated its own guidelines by ignoring information that, obviously, should have been passed along to the public.

In analyzing the report, it is clear (but not stated) that the FBI had assets inside the far right Proud Boys group, some of whom have already been convicted for crimes on January 6.

But, apparently, the FBI ignored the information gleaned from its own spies.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is still investigating whether former President Trump committed crimes by "instigating" the Capitol riot. Now that allegation becomes very hard to prove if extremists crafted a conspiracy weeks before January 6.

It is no surprise that the corrupt corporate media has largely ignored the Senate report, just as it ignored Trump's overture to the Pentagon on January 5th to alert the National Guard.

Nice, honest press we have in this country, right?

So Donald Trump should have one less legal thing to worry about. But you never know what will come out of the swamp.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Decline in Religion

2023-06-27T07:00:00Z

Gallup is out with with a study of the church-going habits of Americans. The headline: not too many of us are going at all.

In 2012, about 40 percent of us attended weekly worship. Today that number is 30 percent.

My religion, Catholicism, has fallen 7 percent in just three years. Protestant sects down 4 percent.

The United States has become a secular nation like France and Britain. Even though religion-based schools offer a far better education than public schools, generally speaking, many Catholic schools are closing.

In 1963, I graduated eighth grade at St. Brigid's School on Long Island. The three classes receiving diplomas had 175 students.

Last week, my Goddaughter graduated from the same school. One class, 36 students.

The decline of religious commitment is, of course, being felt in crime, narcotics consumption, personal betrayal, extreme behavior, and even disrespecting religion as the Los Angeles Dodgers recently did by honoring an anti-Christian hate group.

Unfortunately, American religious leaders have no answer. Most are frightened, few engage their congregations in meaningful ways. My church last Sunday was 20 percent full for 10:30 mass.

Add it all up, traditional theology-centered lifestyles are disappearing from our country.

God help us.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Putin's Demise

2023-06-26T07:00:00Z

As we opined when the Ukraine war began, Putin will be the big loser. He's now humiliated all over the world after his mercenary forces mutinied. No longer is Vlad a credible leader and his Chinese allies will begin to back away. Whether he will be overthrown in the short term is an unanswerable question at this time.

Those who supported Putin's human rights violations cannot rest easy and that includes some in the USA. There was never a question of Russia's violation of international law yet some excused it for various foolish reasons.

Now the Biden administration must do everything it can to accelerate Putin's demise. United States intelligence agencies have many assets inside Russia and creating chaos for the dictator should be priority number one.

Murphy's Law has slapped Putin in the face. If something can go wrong, it will go wrong. Vlad lost control of his Ukraine "Anschluss" almost from the beginning. If you have to hire murderers to fight your battles, it is only a matter of time until they turn on you.

So Putin and Russia have lost. It will take some time for the cleanup, but Vlad is through. Good.

We'll continue our analysis on the No Spin News this evening. See you then.

Unnecessary Risk

2023-06-23T07:00:00Z

Another Titanic disaster should signal to folks that creating danger for yourself is a fool's errand. Life is precarious enough without diving two miles under the ocean, climbing Mt. Everest, or going into space with Elon Musk. If you do those things, help will not be on the way when things go wrong.

Risk-taking is hard-wired into some people, and I, your humble correspondent, am one of those folks. In my life, I have "wing-walked" on top of a biplane, covered a massacre in the mountains of El Salvador, propelled myself into a violent riot when the Argentines surrendered in the Falklands War, and risked IRA ire in Belfast accompanying the British army on a raid.

I did all those things in the name of journalism, and I'd probably do them again if I were a younger man.

But there is no question that I put myself at risk. I was lucky, and in this life, you should never count on luck.

As a parent, I discouraged dangerous activities for my children and always provided an explanation as to why. If you desire to achieve in our competitive country, you must take calculated risks.

But thrill-seeking and stupid behavior like consuming drugs are self-destructive. So is gambling away your money. So is trusting unstable people.

Always do the pro-con math when presented with a dicey situation. Most of the time, self-protection is the wisest course of action.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

FBI Chaos

2023-06-22T15:01:00Z

It's beyond any reasonable doubt that the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world has created absolute chaos in America. For seven years, the FBI committed illegal acts like using false information to secure FISA wiretaps aimed at the Trump organization.

Yet, no FBI official is even under criminal investigation as far as the public knows.

The Bureau was not in charge of the Hunter Biden case, but it knew Mr. Biden received millions of dollars from dubious foreign concerns. The FBI ascertained that from Hunter's laptop. Yet, again, as far as we know, federal agents did not open a formal investigation.

This is corruption, and all Americans should be howling about it. But that's not happening because the corporate media is generally ignoring the Biden situation, and many citizens don't really care if there's corruption afoot as long as their escape mechanisms remain accessible.

Hello, legal marijuana and cell phone addiction.

I believe that President Biden will eventually be confronted with whatever it is he did as Vice President. I continue to give him the right to due process, but from my vantage point, two congressional committees will soon produce compelling evidence that will damage Joe Biden.

Could be wrong. But ill winds are blowing.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Hunter's Corruption

2023-06-21T07:00:00Z

The saga of Hunter Biden took a predictable turn this week when the nepo-guy took a plea deal from a Justice Department that did not want any part of his situation.

It took five years for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware to allege that Hunter failed to pay taxes on more than a million dollars and lied on his application to buy a gun.

A small ball case like that should have taken five months, max.

The tax charges, incredibly, are misdemeanors. The gun crime is a felony that will be expunged from Hunter's record if he behaves in the future.

Hunter Biden will not receive jail time, most likely paying a fine. Which will probably be paid by someone else if I know Hunter, and I believe I do.

Without a doubt, the Biden family soaked the corrupt worldwide financial system for more than ten million dollars while Daddy Joe was Vice President. As a mafia guy said In Godfather II, the Biden's just wanted to "wet their beaks."

Hunter got soaked.

The unanswered question is whether Big Bird Joe got a taste. Don't know. But the guy has lived large for years without a salary backup. I do know that.

I suspect the Biden money train story is not over. Republicans smell cash in the water, if that's possible.

Two congressional committees are bidden their time following the money, which for Bidens, may well be the root of all evil.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Violent Weekend

2023-06-20T11:33:00Z

This Juneteenth/ Father's Day weekend featured violent shootings all over the USA. At least 11 dead, 61 wounded by bullets. Most of the victims and perpetrators are African-American, but law enforcement agencies censor that information, and the national media ignores black violence almost entirely.

In Philadelphia, a four-year-old boy was shot and wounded as he played in his front yard. Police report 50 shell casings were found near his home as rival gang members shot it out.

In Chicago land, the epicenter of black gang crime, at least 5 are dead, 30 injured by weekend gunfire.

Few suspects have been arrested as drug gangs control many inner-city neighborhoods, and residents know they will be killed if they cooperate with authorities. The police themselves cannot control the violent thugs, as leftist DAs have little interest in prosecuting them.

The result is colossal danger in poor, minority neighborhoods and no movement to stop it. Most politicians don't care, and the press is not invested unless a Caucasian kills a minority.

President Biden could not care less and, to be fair, Presidents Trump and Obama did little to tamp down the violence, which is overwhelmingly caused by young, black males who sell dangerous narcotics.

That is the truth, and everyone should wake up to it. Even the woke hypocrites who wail about gun control turn away from any meaningful solutions if they involve African-American criminality.

This lethal situation has been brewing for years, and the progressive culture in urban areas has spiked it.

There are not two sides to the story. Defenseless black Americans face danger every day. And all we hear is empty political rhetoric.

Shameful.

See you beginning at eight Eastern for the No Spin News.

Celebrating Juneteenth

2023-06-19T08:47:00Z

Today is the federal holiday of "Juneteenth" which celebrates the last slaves being freed in 1865. The Union army was sent to the Galveston, Texas area to make sure emancipation orders were obeyed.

This is a fitting holiday because African-Americans deserve to have their legacy known by their countrymen and many U.S. citizens are clueless about the debilitating aspects of slavery.

As you may know, I do not believe the USA is defined by slavery as that is simply false. Also, by creating an industry of African-American grievance, bitterness and hopelessness are given a major boost.

Yes, it's tougher for blacks to pursue happiness in this country but that gap has closed dramatically across the board. In many companies and colleges, African-Americans receive maximum opportunity.

The goal of the United States is to be a fair society that is respectful to all people of good will. Bigots, of course, reject that. And so do the race hustlers who use historical atrocities for personal gain. I mean, how despicable is that?

They call themselves woke or progressive or whatever. But they are exploiting suffering and actually increasing it.

On Juneteenth, I salute African-Americans who have forgiven the sins of the past and are striving to make this nation better in the future. To them I say: Enjoy the day.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

LA Dodgers Honor Anti-Christian Hate Group

2023-06-17T16:27:00Z

One of the advantages of high tech is that we can gather information quickly. Thus, I watched the Los Angeles Dodgers/Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence controversy unfold six thousand miles away from my base in Ireland.

The Dodgers "honored" the anti-Christian hate group about one hour before Friday night's game with the San Francisco Giants so there were only a smattering of people inside the ballpark.

Outside, press reports say about two-thousand protestors let their feelings be known: invading churches and demeaning religious expression in America is wrong.

The Los Angeles Times and The San Francisco Chronicle both concentrated on the militant Christian demonstrators; people saying gays are going to hell, etc. Generally speaking, the leftist press portrayed the obnoxious "Sisters" as victims and benign charity contributors.

This is standard issue for liberal enterprises like the Times and the Chronicle. Ignore parts of stories that are not flattering to the left, while demonizing conservative and traditional points-of-view. Marginalize all opposition to "woke" and far left dictums.

On Monday, when I'm back in the USA, I'll analyze the Dodger debacle in more detail as it signifies a turning point in the culture wars. On Sunday, I'll file some unique analysis of the Trump situation in a new column.

Thanks for checking in with us this week. Hope you enjoyed the photo gallery and our Irish coverage on BillOReilly.com. See you on TV and radio beginning Monday.

O'Reilly's Ireland Trip - Day 5

2023-06-16T19:02:00Z

The political part of the trip is underway as we crossed into Northern Ireland this morning. As the photos demonstrate, there is still tension between Catholics and Protestants. Londonderry on the border with Donegal has improved itself, but Belfast remains troubled.

I gave my crew a tour of the area where I first reported on "The Troubles" in the early 1980s. We went to a place called Devis Flats - an IRA stronghold where weapons were hidden in apartments. I was allowed to witness a raid on the property, and it was nasty. British soldiers and Ulster police confronted hundreds of Catholics, and mayhem ensued.

Today, the Troubles have diminished, but tensions remain. London keeps the two sides apart, and because the job situation has improved, making money has surpassed making war. But sectarian violence could break out at any time.

We had lunch at the Hotel Europa, the most bombed hotel in Ireland. That's where journalists used to house. Now it's a tour hotel with buses of Europeans rolling in, many of whom have no idea what a dangerous place the hotel once was.

The lobby pictures President Bill Clinton, who helped calm the violence during his two terms. But it was the women of Ireland who really stopped the madness by demanding that their husbands and sons cease and desist. It's an incredible story if you want to look it up.

Tomorrow Dublin, a much more affluent and cosmopolitan place. Will check in from there and be back in the air Monday.

Hope you are enjoying the Irish journal.

O'Reilly's Ireland Trip - Day 4

2023-06-15T17:06:00Z

The Irish adventure continues with a nature day. Walking around the primeval forests, which are rare in Eire. Most of the trees were cleared for agriculture and fuel, so that's why you get those great green landscapes. But here in the far north, the woods are extensive.

The weather is like San Diego; very lucky with that. Last week it rained a part of every day.

Food is first rate as Ireland has upped its game there. When I first visited 53 years ago, dismal cuisine ruled. Easy to put on pounds with Irish butter and dairy.

So I'm walking it off.

Tomorrow, the history part of the trip kicks in as we travel to Derry and Belfast. I have some history there, as I wrote about in my first book, the novel "Those Who Trespass."

Will check in from there. Hope you're enjoying the travelogue.

Enjoy the photo gallery.

O'Reilly's Ireland Trip - Day 3

2023-06-14T15:24:00Z

We are at the northernmost point of the Irish Republic. It was here that the Norse first invaded around 795 AD. It was kind of a vacation for the Vikings, pillaging Ireland and misbehaving in every way. Finally, the Irish chieftains organized and kicked some serious Norse butt.

Today, County Donegal is relatively affluent, with big fishing and agriculture businesses. It's a world apart from the urban lifestyle of Dublin and Belfast.

The major difference between the Irish and many Americans is life expectations. We strive; the Irish generally are happy with their traditional life and respect boundaries. No homeless in these parts, little violent crime, and people look out for each other. That's not hard because there are only five and a half million in the entire Republic. Cooperation, not grievance, dominates. If you want less stress, this is the place.

The father-son trip is working out. There are 12 of us. I always use Conn's Ireland as guides. Best in show.

Enjoy the photo gallery. Will check in tomorrow.

Update on O'Reilly's Ireland Trip

2023-06-13T15:42:00Z

Warm day in Donegal, unusual. Few have A/C here. Touring the "Wild Atlantic Coast." Because Donegal is so far north from the airports, not that many tourists.

Ireland is part of the EU, so the Euro is currency. Northern Island is still tethered to Great Britain so it's the pound there.

The Republic of Ireland is a semi-socialist system, but the folks largely ignore the tax man. Many transactions are done in cash - the "underground" economy.

The country is green literally and figuratively. Windmills are common. Energy costs are very high, lots of complaints about that.

Hope you are enjoying the photos. Fantastic scenery everywhere. Ireland is cleaner than Switzerland. In relatively affluent Donegal, houses are small but kept pristine, generally speaking.

Food is good and tailored to American, rather than British, taste. Will check in all this week.

O'Reilly Abroad - Ireland

2023-06-12T18:53:00Z

Arrived in Ireland on time. Thank you, Aer Lingus. Overnight flight, so we're sluggish today but Atlantic Ocean air counters that. Father-son trip, and the dads are large people!

About a four-hour drive from Shannon Airport to County Donegal, called the "Wild Coast. Weather in the low 70's, mostly cloudy. Staying in a Manor House hotel up here that is as Irish as you can get.

Will be reporting every day and sending pictures. Check this space. Trump's arraignment is tomorrow. Many over here think we are all crazy, and few understand what's going on. Will continue to provide clarity. Stay strong.

The hotel.

O'Reilly & Cuomo Spar Over Trump Indictment on NewsNation

2023-06-10T04:00:00Z

Watch as Bill spars with Chris Cuomo over the Donald Trump indictment on NewsNation.

O'Reilly Reacts to Trump Indictment

2023-06-09T17:39:00Z

Listen to Bill's appearance on WABC, where he spoke to Rita Cosby about the Trump indictment.

Trump's Indictment

2023-06-09T14:33:00Z

With the two most famous politicians in America both accused of criminal activity, the morale in this country should be sinking fast.

It is, but not because Biden and Trump are under investigation. No, the main problem is many Americans do not trust the agencies doing the probing. It's like Chicago in the 1930's when Al Capone bribed the judges, prosecutors, and police. Capone, a heinous killer, was only held to account when President Roosevelt ordered Treasury Department agents to get him.

Today, the federal law enforcement apparatus is clearly out to "get" Donald Trump. But Hunter and, to some extent, Joe Biden are being protected.

If anyone denies that analysis the person is being dishonest or incredibly naive.

It is certainly possible that both Trump and Biden broke the law. But how will we know when the establishment fix has been in against Trump since 2016.

On the Biden front, does anyone in the world believe Attorney General Merrick Garland will aggressively pursue the whistleblower's bribery allegations?

The term for this kind of stuff in third world tropical countries is "banana republic." Maybe we should brand our nation the "corrupt partisan republic."

Because that's what we are.

New column Sunday noon.

Backlash

2023-06-08T07:00:00Z

After graduating with a degree in history, I began my formal work career teaching high school in a ghetto town called Opa-Locka, north of Miami, Florida. There was a fairly intense bullying situation at the school that many teachers ignored.

Not me.

The effeminate boys got it bad. It was a mixed-race school mostly comprised of working-class kids. This was the early 1970s when high school bullying was largely in your face, not done anonymously on a device as it happens today.

Anyway, I bullied the bullies and stopped a lot of bad stuff. But not all. Some kids got crushed.

Today, gay is widely accepted in American society and even celebrated with parades and ballpark expositions. Most people of good will have no problem with that.

But the aggressive trans movement is changing things. Allowing biological males to compete with females in sports is obviously unfair. Presenting complicated gender-based situations to eight-year-olds is absurd and destructive.

So the progress the gay community has made is now being undermined by lunatic progressives. This, of course, is ironic but, most of all, foolish and self-defeating.

And the backlash is real, as Target, Bud Light, and the Dodgers are finding out. I just hope vulnerable children will not be caught in the middle.

But some will be.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Virtual Reality

2023-06-07T15:08:00Z

The latest high-tech gizmo is a head covering from Apple that goes over the eyes and allows for all kinds of stimulation. Cost about $3,500 bucks. Since many folks already live free with their heads in the sand, this is an expensive upgrade.

Cyberspace has basically become a flight from reality that is incredibly addictive and even dangerous. People texting while driving kill thousands every year. In addition, gambling, drugs, and mental violence are easily accessible on social media.

Yes, the devices can provide information and research, used properly, high tech can educate. But the bad outweighs the good, in my opinion.

We all know people are addicted to their phones. That negatively affects in-person interactions and the ability to think. Book reading by younger Americans has drastically declined along with concentration spans. The ability to speak articulately is collapsing as well. "Axe" anyone.

Perhaps most importantly, all this high-tech stuff makes it far easier for ruthless people to achieve power. If you're not paying attention to real life, bad things will inevitably happen.

So I'm not ordering the new Apple thing. I simply don't want to be a head case.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Traditional America

2023-06-06T15:05:00Z

Veteran conservative columnist Cal Thomas scorches Donald Trump in a new article saying the former president's continued political odyssey will destroy the Republican Party as well as the right-wing in America.

Mr. Thomas quotes a variety of conservative pundits who believe the same thing, including the Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan, a long-time Trump despiser.

I've known Cal Thomas for decades, and he is an honest analyst entitled to espouse whatever he wants. He writes he voted for Trump because he considered the alternatives worse but is now off the Trump train for good.

So, my question for Cal is this: would you really pull the lever or lick the envelope for Biden if he's Trump's 2024 opponent? That would be very destructive for traditional America, which Mr. Biden apparently disdains.

Yes, Donald Trump is not a doctrinaire conservative. He has no interest in political philosophy. He's a deal-maker and governed that way. He was far more successful in creating American prosperity than Biden has been. Facts prove it.

There are two immediate dangers to conservatives. First, the woke culture is on the march, and if you oppose it, as most conservatives do, you are evil and should be marginalized.

The second is that Biden is weak, and America's standing in the world is weakening. That puts the country in peril.

I'm not trying to convince Cal Thomas of anything. If he doesn't understand what a disaster progressive policy is, that's on him.

And Trump will stand against the progressive movement. No question about it.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Tripped Up

2023-06-05T07:00:00Z

The conservative media had a blast last week mocking President Biden after he tripped and fell over a sandbag at the Air Force Academy graduation. Just another example of a bumbling 80-year-old not able to stand tall, right?

But that's completely unfair - not that fair play counts in America these days. A sandbag poorly placed on the stage could have tripped up LeBron James. The Secret Service was at fault, failing to secure the platform from impediments.

That is the truth, and agents should be disciplined.

The embarrassing incident does not, however, provide cover for Mr. Biden's overall presence in the White House, which puts every American in jeopardy. Over the weekend, a Chinese warship menaced a U.S. naval vessel in the Taiwan Strait. Russian warplanes routinely buzz American jets over international waters.

Any thinking individual has to know that President Biden is weak and mentally impaired and that he is declining rapidly in full view of the world. Yet, 40 percent of the American public still supports him. That is troubling in the extreme.

I understand the "free stuff" situation and that the corrupt press generally props up the President. But if you would vote for him, you are sandbagging yourself - and putting the country in grave danger.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Woke Bubble

2023-06-02T07:00:00Z

American consumers are the deciders about success or failure in the marketplace, as Anheuser-Busch and Target are finding out the hard way.

The calculation for economic success is simple: good products at fair prices and respect for customers. That's the formula, and it will never change.

Products that satisfy consumers are hard to come by. Failure is easy.

The respect thing is the trump card. To get that, you have to understand your audience. For example, when I invented "The O'Reilly Factor," I knew exactly who my potential audience was: hard-working, traditional Americans who love their country and admire fair play.

Same thing with my 18 number-one best-selling books. I targeted readers who want to learn history while being entertained by fast-moving stories.

Presto, success!

Well, not exactly presto. The formula took discipline to perfect.

The foolish mistakes made by Target, Bud Light, Disney, and the Los Angeles Dodgers were all the fault of pinheaded executives who live in woke bubble worlds. They are completely lost when it comes to the indoctrination of children and disrespect of religious beliefs.

Yes, it's America, and you have the Constitutional right to be a pinhead. But if you're competing for currency, you had better understand that although the customer may not always be right, without him or her, pronouns correct, things will always go wrong.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Justice For All

2023-06-01T15:16:00Z

Perhaps the most important aspect of a free society is justice, a sense of fair play when it comes to crime and civil disagreements. When citizens are wronged, the system must attempt to correct the situation. That goal is paramount.

There is no justice in China, Russia, and Iran, the new Axis of Evil, which will eventually cause serious havoc in the world. In those countries, brutal leaders impose their will on the population; there is no appeal. Justice doesn't exist.

The United States is headed in that direction because of massive corruption, some of it enabled by voters. Two examples. First, there is strong circumstantial evidence that then Vice President Biden allowed his family to be enriched through shady payments from foreign governments. Yet the Justice Department under Attorney General Merrick Garland is not aggressively pursuing an investigation. That is a corruption of justice. Period.

And then there are progressive district attorneys, elected by the people, who refuse to even bring charges against some violent criminals and drug dealers. No justice in places like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles. Victims of crime can expect little assistance.

That's where we are in this country primarily because many American voters continue to support far-left politicians. You get what you vote for.

Change better come soon.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Corrupt FBI

2023-05-31T07:00:00Z

FBI chief Christopher Wray is refusing to hand over information from a whistleblower alleging that Joe Biden benefited from "bribes" when he was Vice President.

Wray is doing what he always does - refusing to provide clarity about important matters citing "ongoing investigations." But here Wray, through an FBI spokesman, ups the ante saying "lives might be put at risk" if he gives the House of Representatives the allegations.

How so, Mr. Director?

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says that Contempt of Congress charges will be leveled against Wray for defying the subpoena, but so what? You may remember that President Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder refused to hand over information about the "fast and furious" guns to Mexico case, and absolutely nothing happened to Holder.

So I think it's safe to say that Mr. Wray will not be fretting over his shrimp cocktail tonight.

This entire controversy tells honest Americans two things. First, the FBI continues to be a corrupt enterprise, as its director could certainly explain the overall situation without jeopardizing anyone other than the Biden family. And second, that we the people are once again being denied our right to make responsible decisions about our leaders.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Bad Marketing

2023-05-30T07:00:00Z

Incompetence and arrogance will cost Anheuser-Busch and Target billions of dollars in lost revenue, as many American consumers have had enough of the woke movement being forced on them.

The question: how could corporate executives not see the danger of promoting alternative lifestyles after Disney got its butt kicked siding with indoctrinating public school kids in gender controversies?

Do the beer and clothing moguls not consume news reports? Or are they stone-cold stupid?

It's most likely the latter. Hiring a man who turned himself into a woman to pitch beer to working-class guys is foolish beyond all measure.

And targeting working-class folks with racks of trans clothing and designs celebrating Satan assures immediate entry into the dumb hall of fame.

The only explanation is that many corporate executives live in a woke bubble and have few real-world clues.

Bulletin. PC people like George Clooney don't shop at Target or drink Bud Light. Regular folks do. And they don't want Hollywood values.

Capitalism punishes marketplace stupidity, and consumers have long memories. It really is over for the wokesters unless you are selling sneakers to the under-30 crew.

And that's a good thing; enough with assaulting traditional beliefs. Economic freedom works both ways, woke monsters. Don't forget that again.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Memorial Day

2023-05-26T07:00:00Z

Well, another Memorial Day weekend is upon us, the symbolic beginning of summer. Unfortunately, some Americans have no idea what Memorial Day even is.

The holiday honors Americans who were killed in war. There are millions of them. Many died from disease, so they are not counted in the "killed in action" category, but obviously, their sacrifice is the same.

My grandfather was a hero in World War I, and my cousin performed heroically in Vietnam. The pain of their experiences never left them. It wasn't so much what they themselves suffered but the death and maiming of their friends on the battlefield. Those vivid memories never go away.

After Vietnam, many Americans turned their backs on the military. That was wrong. Americans fought valiantly against the totalitarian communists, who were armed by China and the Soviet Union. We had saved South Korea from enslavement but, tragically, couldn't duplicate that in the jungles and rice paddies.

In totality, American military personnel has freed billions of people worldwide from evil countries. That is what Memorial Day is all about. The nobility of our armed forces is etched in history.

Spread the word.

New column Sunday noon.

Tina Turner

2023-05-25T13:29:00Z

Tina Turner has passed; she was 83. Tremendous rock performer - one of the best I've ever seen.

Ms. Turner had a rough time of it in her younger days. A child of poverty, she married the violent Ike Turner, who made her life hell.

But Ms. Turner eventually succeeded in life despite the bad circumstances for one simple reason: she did not surrender to adversity. She kept going in her pursuit of happiness.

That's a dying strategy in America today. We live in a country full of grievance and excuse-making. Intoxication is encouraged. Blaming others for everything is standard. Personal responsibility is rarely championed.

Younger Americans would do well to study Tina Turner's life and emulate her courage. Feeling the need to change her environment, she left the pressure-packed USA and moved to the far more tranquil country of Switzerland. She analyzed her situation and concluded she had to try something new.

All of us have the freedom to reject bad things and improve our lives. The difficulty is figuring out what to do and then having the courage to take a different path.

Tina Turner did figure it out. I admire her.
May she rest in peace.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Anti-Christian Hate

2023-05-24T07:00:00Z

It is almost impossible to believe that two west coast baseball teams will be honoring an anti-Christian hate group in June.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the LA Angels are set to bestow legitimacy on a group called the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" at their respective "gay pride" nights.

The Sisters, mainly transvestites dressed as nuns, have openly committed sacrilege against the Catholic Church by receiving communion and then defiling the wafer in front of cameras. In addition, the group put on a "Jesus and Mary-themed strip tease" that featured a " performer" writhing upside down on a wooden cross.

That was followed by shirtless men competing to be crowned the "hunkiest Jesus."

This is the group the Dodgers and Angels, sorry for the irony, are honoring on the baseball field.

If any other religion was demeaned this way, federal hate crime statutes would be employed. But in America, you can bash Christians all day long. It's flat-out wrong.

The Dodgers and Angels deserve scorn and derision. There is no excuse. This has nothing to do with gay pride or anything like that. I believe most homosexuals are appalled by this.

And if you are not appalled. Well, we Christians will pray for you.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Protecting George Soros

2023-05-23T07:00:00Z

A very obscure story signals a further move to the left by the Biden Administration if you can believe it is still heading in that direction.

A woman named Deborah Lipstadt gets paid by the taxpayers to monitor anti-semitic accusations and report them to President Biden and his team.

Did you know the White House employed such a person? I did not.

Anyway, Ms. Lipstadt is currently defending the notorious George Soros and tweeted that some "attacks" on him feature "classic anti-semitic tropes and rhetoric."

Of course, she did not provide examples.

I would like some exposure on that because I criticize Soros all the time. He has done incredible damage to America by promoting open borders and soft on violent crime officials. I believe that and Soros' religion, or lack there of has nothing to do with my disdain for him. In fact, Soros has harshly criticized Israel.

So, it seems like President Biden is invested in giving Soros cover, does it not?

Hands off George; he's got protection at the highest level. Joe has his back.

Interesting and somewhat frightening. How far left are you going to go, Joe?

You are off the charts right now.

The Totalitarians

2023-05-22T07:00:00Z

President Biden is back from Japan, and there's not much to report about the G-7 shindig. The free world is now reduced to reacting to the totalitarians: Putin, Xi, and the Mullahs of Iran. Not much proactive strategy in play.

It is clear that the new axis of evil does not fear NATO and, specifically, the USA. However, the bad guys should understand they will be severely damaged if their violent vision continues, just as Putin has been in Ukraine.

Donald Trump posits that totalitarian aggression would have been contained had he been re-elected. Impossible to prove that, but the record shows that Trump had a much calmer foreign policy than Biden does.

In fact, Trump uses flattery and deal-making in all his policy transactions. President Biden uses ... well, I don't know exactly what he brings to the negotiating table. Weak countries like Mexico continue to damage America, and it certainly doesn't look like Obrador fears any consequences.

American voters rarely cast ballots over foreign policy. Vietnam was the exception to that, and the Iraq War mobilized dissent as well.

But today, the Democrats and Mr. Biden are in trouble because they've botched domestic policy.

And the totalitarians are watching.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Illegal Immigrants

2023-05-19T09:30:00Z

As hundreds of thousands of migrants continue to spread out over the country, predictable social problems have emerged. There are fears of "anti-immigrant" behavior. On the other side, some are angry the Biden administration's unlawful immigration policies are negatively impacting neighborhoods.

Generally speaking, Americans have embraced immigrants who have come to the USA legally. That's because most of us have immigrant ancestors, and Judeo-Christian philosophy, upon which America is based, demands compassion for the poor and oppressed.

In fact, the Catholic Church is taking the lead in caring for poor foreign nationals because that's what Jesus would do.

And that's right. Administering to the poor is paramount for all Christians.

But Jesus of Nazareth was also a practical man, as his advice to "render to Caesar" demonstrates. He would not be okay with lawbreakers and would encourage societal order so human beings could prosper. Anarchy is not a Christian tenet.

All Americans should be outraged that progressives and their clueless leader Joe Biden have created an immense illegal immigration problem that not only divides Americans but places harsh burdens on the migrants themselves.

Very simply, this is President Biden's fault. And he should pay a steep price at the polls in 2024.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Trump Sunday noon.

Biden in Japan

2023-05-18T15:07:00Z

President Biden is off to Japan for the G-7 summit. That's nice. Leaders of the free world wining and dining while formulating economic strategies to bring prosperity to their citizens.

Not invited to the sushi fest are the bad guys: Xi, Putin, and the Mullahs of Iran. These dudes, as they say in California, do not fall into the category of "free" because they all despise freedom.

As in the 1930s, the totalitarians are gaining in strength and belligerence. Xi of China is similar to Hitler in his desire to control the world. Putin is a cousin to Mussolini, desiring regional dominance. The Mullahs emulate Japan's Tojo, fanatics who believe infidels are non-human.

I would love to give the G-7 leaders a history quiz to see if they know anything at all about the run-up to World War II. Joe Biden, born in 1942, was a toddler as the world was exploding.

The truth is the totalitarians are far more ruthless than the free soil guys. Xi and Putin consider mass murder a primary hobby. The Mullahs think God has ordered them to commit violence.

Faced with those killers, the G-7 crew better decide to stick together and formulate a game plan to defend the world. Joe Biden cannot lead this effort because he can barely stay awake. Britain and France will have to step up.

As the cliche goes: good luck with that.

Xi, Putin, and the Iranians know their axis of evil has an opportunity. Not a great time for the planet.

Fair Play

2023-05-17T07:00:00Z

Here's my problem. Somehow as a child, I began to believe that fairness was important, so I challenged what I thought was unfair.

Bad things followed.

The nuns who taught me in St. Brigid's school were overwhelmed by having 60 restless urchins staring at them every day, and crowd control, not fair play, prevailed.

That set up a confrontation between me and the Sister Mary's.

I lost.

In high school, the rich kids dominated, and the working class students like me were expected to accept that. I fought that concept to a draw and earned some respect in the process.

College was no problem. Mostly down market, but honest guys attended Marist, and we treated each other with a crude respect. Today, Marist College is woke, which means it's essentially unfair and can be treacherous if you're not on the leftist team.

Forget about my broadcasting career. Fairness has long been extinct in that industry, just like in the political world.

Many Americans are upset because no powerful person will be held responsible for the Russian-Collusion fraud. That's not fair, they say.

And they are correct; it's not fair.

But it's life in the USA.

The Durham Report

2023-05-16T14:46:00Z

After more than three and a half years and tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, special counsel John Durham has issued a 300-page report on how the FBI botched the Russian Collusion investigation.

You may remember another special counsel, Robert Mueller, who found out after spending tens of millions of dollars that the Trump campaign had nothing to do with plots from Russia and that the entire thing was engineered by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

The FBI, of course, knew that early on, but the bureau chose to probe the matter anyway to make Donald Trump look bad and possibly tilt the election to Hillary.

Durham does not name names because he's part of the Washington establishment, but the culprits are former FBI Director James Comey, former Assistant Director Andrew McCabe, and the notorious Peter Strzok, who orchestrated the fraudulent investigation. All three were banished from the FBI but will not be prosecuted in a court of law.

Why not? Because Attorney General Merrick Garland is a Democrat who takes orders from another Democrat named Joe Biden.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the DC swamp, where powerful government agencies are now actively interfering in presidential campaigns. How about those 51 former national security people who signed a letter saying Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian plant? It's one big happy political hack family.

In fact, I think all the Russian Collusion-Hunter Biden guys and gals should have a reunion down the road; they could lift a glass and toast the fact that they almost did it. They were this close to ushering Hillary into power and actually helped Biden win.

It's all about ideology and subterfuge. This is America today.

Town Hall Aftermath

2023-05-15T07:00:00Z

Predictably, CNN continues to get hammered for giving Donald Trump air time last week. But there is more to this situation than most Americans realize.

As soon as CNN announced the Town Hall in New Hampshire, the well-organized far left began its campaign: Trump should not be allowed to speak on television. He should be canceled forever.

The usual suspects disseminated that totalitarian point of view and then immediately formulated the after-party strategy: no matter how the Town Hall turned out, it would be portrayed as heinous, hideous, and hapless. And CNN would also be ridiculed for sending a message to any other media organization that might invite Trump to appear.

CNN should have anticipated that but did not. The left disqualify the former president because they hate him. He tells "lies," so he should be silenced.

The CNN moderator, Kaitlin Collins, is a talented broadcaster but played right into the radical narrative by asking about the 2020 election. Did Ms. Collins actually believe Donald Trump would repudiate his "rigged" mantra? So why bother with that? Discuss issues.

But, no, CNN whacked itself in the head, and the bleeding continues. In this brutal political climate, anticipating carnage is absolutely imperative.

What Will Happen to Our Country?

2023-05-12T14:55:00Z

Wherever I go, there's one question asked of me. What is going to happen to our country? The people asking are almost always regular folks concerned about the future.

I keep my answer simple. If President Biden is re-elected, traditional America will vanish in many places. If the voters accept and certify the mass chaos we have now, hope for the future sharply diminishes.

That is not a partisan answer or one based on ideology. It is stone cold reality.

As a historian, it is my belief that Joe Biden has damaged this country more than any other president since James Buchanan. Andrew Johnson and Franklin Pierce were amazingly incompetent, as were Herbert Hoover and Warren Harding.

But Biden has created problems, not just failed to solve them. The border madness is his alone. His anti-energy policies ignited inflation. He refuses to cut federal spending in the face of fiscal disaster.

There is no doubt that Joe Biden is a one-man wrecking crew who cannot even remember where his travels take him.

So, if the voters support more of that, smoldering societal destruction is in our future.

That is the truth based on 28 months of Oval Office incompetence. Sorry to be the grim reaper, but every person in this country deserves fair warning.

New column Sunday noon.

The Problem With Reparations

2023-05-11T07:00:00Z

A California committee considering reparations has recommended that each African-American living in the Golden State receive as much as $1.2 million in taxpayer money. That report now goes to the state legislature for "consideration."

This continues the extreme leftist view that all working Americans should be punished for the institution of slavery because tax dollars would be used for the payments.

This is wrong on every level. First off, Americans today are not responsible for the heinous slave industry. Secondly, almost 700,000 Union soldiers were killed or wounded fighting to end slavery in the Civil War. Are their ancestors entitled to reparations?

The British Crown confiscated my family's farm in County Cavan, Ireland, leading to generational suffering. Should I demand payments from London? Almost every family on earth has been victimized in some way.

Historically, it has been more difficult for black Americans to succeed economically in America. Fact. But this country has spent trillions over the years in an effort to make amends.

No reparations. It is simply unfair. And the California Governor, Gavin Newsom, knows it. He is not likely to back reparations because, someday, he wants to run for president, and the public does not support reparations.

Donald Trump's Civil Case

2023-05-10T07:00:00Z

The civil case against Donald Trump was a challenge from the beginning. Since no human being on earth knows what actually happened between the plaintiff E. Jean Carroll and the defendant Donald Trump, it's impossible to analyze the initial situation in a fair way.

Ms. Carroll's legal fees, at least some of them, were paid by a man who despises the former President. The judge allowed anti-Trump testimony from individuals who had nothing to do with the allegations. The New York jury acquitted Trump of rape but unanimously decided he was guilty of lesser charges. No criminal action was involved.

Lawyers for Ms. Carroll will likely take a third of the 5 million dollar judgment and use the case to solicit more work in this area. Donald Trump, however, can delay payment as he says he will appeal.

Politically, the case is not likely to damage Trump as folks are numb to accusations against him - so many no one can remember.

But it is undeniable that Donald Trump has endured more attacks than any other politician in American history.

Whether or not he deserves that distinction will ultimately be decided by another jury: the voters.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Who's to Blame?

2023-05-09T07:00:00Z

Another horrendous mass shooting over the weekend, this one in a shopping center near Dallas, Texas. At this point, the nation is almost numb to the slaughtering of innocents because it now occurs on a regular basis.

There are three primary reasons for the carnage, which is most often perpetrated by young men.

First, the John Wick culture. Here mass violence is celebrated in movies and internet games. Troubled people are affected by the graphic visual killings, which are mainstreamed into entertainment vehicles.

Second is the collapse of morality in America. Religion is being soundly rejected by the young, and public schools make little attempt to define right and wrong. In fact, evil is basically ignored in our secular society unless Trump is involved.

And third, is the failure to effectively punish violent people. Far-left politicians have torn down deterrence, and criminals have been emboldened. The violent mentally ill are subject to a little scrutiny.

Politically, the left is heavy into "gun control" but not crime control. The cops are the problem, not the criminals.

Add those three up, and you have a free fire zone for deadly violence, pun intended.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Political Polls

2023-05-08T14:36:00Z

Very bad news for President Biden in a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll.

His job approval is at an all-time low - hovering around 36 percent.

The not knowing he visited Ireland thing has hurt him.

But a word of caution: the political polls in May only reflect daily perceptions. Serious polling on the 2024 presidential race will begin in August as the primary season picks up.

Nevertheless, Mr. Biden is in deep trouble, and honest people who care about America realize that. His performance is dismal; he barely works according to his daily public schedule.

His ability to problem solve is almost non-existent, and most people polled believe he is mentally diminished.

Faced with that, the Democratic Party and its rabid allies in corporate media must now swing into full-time "protect Joe" mode, which is a step up from the soft treatment the President has received from the beginning of his term.

Expect some polling that props him up and a spate of articles celebrating his "achievements."

Of course, the brutal media attacks against his main rival Donald Trump will continue unabated.

The media campaign will fail as Mr. Biden will sink deeper into incompetence. He will not be able to debate or even campaign much.

So that's where we are seven months before the primary voting begins. Both political parties have challenges, as the cliche goes.

See you later for the No Spin News.

The Attack on Women's Sports

2023-05-05T07:00:00Z

Here's something I don't understand. Many Americans who are liberals believe the system in this country is unfair, and they want to change that.

Then they go ahead and support things that are unfair.

Best example: allowing people who were born male to compete against women in sports. Not. Fair.

If an adult wants to use medical science to change gender, that's allowed under the Constitution. Pursuit of happiness. Some object to the "trans" movement on religious grounds; others say it violates the natural order (you don't fool around with mother nature). However, changing genders is legal, and supporters say it's "life affirming."

The problem is that masculine DNA is physically stronger than feminine DNA in most cases. And that doesn't change under a surgeon's knife. So, using unassailable logic, it is not FAIR to have people born male competing in physical arenas with females.

Okay? Got it?

But no, the loons want what they want. And the left, in general, supports it.

I realize how powerful political correctness is among the woke left. I also know an injustice when I see it.

Level the playing field. Leave women's sports the way they were.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Fighting the Woke

2023-05-04T10:00:00Z

The madness we are seeing in our country will only subside if traditional Americans fight against it. Woke and progressive politics are hurting all of us. Here are some destructive things that have taken root under the most radical left administration in history.

Non-punishment of criminals.

Failure to enforce immigration law

The legalization and encouragement of marijuana and gambling

Taxpayer funded entitlements for Americans who refuse to even look for a job.

Abortion up until birth for any reason

Failure to provide due process in the court of public opinion

Acceptance of degrading behavior in public places

Attacks on Catholics and Jews

Dishonest manipulation of the voting system

Acceptance and funding of public schools that fail students

Allowance of gender changing advantage in women's sports.

Quite a list, and that's just a smidgen of the decline in American society.

So, speak up. Support those who are fighting the madness. And pray for your country.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Gaetz Assault

2023-05-03T14:00:00Z

Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz was attending an event in Fort Walton Beach when he was allegedly assaulted by a 41-year-old woman. According to police reports, Gaetz was posing for a picture with a man when the alleged perpetrator threw a glass of wine that splashed both men.

She was arrested, held in custody overnight, and met the $1,000 bond the next morning.

The woman turns out to be a progressive activist who routinely despises anything Trump on social media. Mr. Gaetz is a Donald Trump supporter. Motive established.

Now, many would not press an incident like this in criminal court, but the Congressman says he will. He points out that throwing objects, even liquids, at people can damage them.

Gaetz is correct. Low-level assault should be confronted, or this country will have more of it. In New York City, you can punch someone in the face, and the DA won't do a thing. Apparently, that crime is beneath his office.

The result is a violent, dangerous city where innocent people are hurt every day, and their assailants walk.

That's wrong in every way, and Matt Gaetz is right to press charges against the loon who assaulted him.

Enough with the barbarism.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Verifiable Truth

2023-05-02T10:00:00Z

Former Biden Chief-of-Staff Ron Klain gave an interview to a leftist internet person in which he said Vice President Harris is doing a great job and much of the criticism of her is racist and sexist.

Instead of challenging that imbecilic statement, the podcast woman just nodded like a wind-blown puppet and forged ahead.

There are two issues here. The first one is obvious: Kamala Harris has some of the lowest poll numbers we've seen in quite some time, so how could she be doing a great job?

Wait. Klain explained that. The American public is racist and sexist.

Now I understand.

The next question is this: does Ron Klain really believe the blather he is uttering? Impossible to know, but I can tell you that political people on both sides often believe what they want to believe. And what they want to believe is anything that might help them.

Like most in the Biden White House, Klain had no interest in verifiable truth. He lived in Biden land for two years. The truth never came up.

Al Gore wrote a book called "An Inconvenient Truth" about the dangers of climate change. Then the former Vice President hopped on a private jet flying around the country promoting the book.

But compared to Kamala, Gore was Thomas Jefferson, who was VP to John Adams.

It is all so maddening. Politics in this country has reached its nadir. If Kamala Harris is doing a great job - I'm Michelangelo.

Personal Discipline

2023-05-01T14:55:00Z

Fear is a dominant emotion among most people, and that drives us to try to construct positive outcomes in our lives. Sometimes we can do that. But often, events we cannot control deeply affect us.

A sudden health crisis. Betrayal. A debilitating accident. A crime committed against us. There is no protection against those things; they happen at random to even the best people.

The Fox News employees working for Tucker Carlson had, without any warning, their lives shaken last week. I know some of these people, and they are solid citizens trying to raise families and have worthwhile lives.

Yet now they are faced with uncertainty as their employer will have to regroup, and no one knows how that will play out. Because the entire television news industry is in decline, it's not like there are a lot of good-paying options elsewhere.

When asked for advice on these matters, I say something like this. Don't act emotionally; stay steady. Don't dwell on what might happen; assess what you can do to improve your situation. If that's nothing, which is often the case, hang tough. If you are a victim of circumstance, that tends to even out down the life road.

We all get hammered. Many of us come back stronger. Personal discipline is the key.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Biden Deteriorating

2023-04-28T15:01:00Z

If you have been following my commentary, you know I am predicting things will continue to deteriorate for President Biden and the country.

Well, on Thursday, I officially became an Oracle. The first quarter economic growth numbers arrived and were terrible. That boosted the stock market because the Fed will now have a hard time raising interest rates. But it's bad news for workers because layoffs will accelerate.

Most Americans face disaster if they lose their jobs. A recession is certainly a possibility.

On the Biden front, the Twilight Zone has officially been reached. Hosting a "bring your child to work day" at the White House, one of the tykes asked the President what country he last visited. Here's what he said.

"I'm thinking, what's the last one I was in? I've been to 89, met with 89 heads of state. I'm trying to think what was the last place I was. It's hard to keep track."

Then a child yelled out: "Ireland."

Biden replied: "That's right, Ireland."

Just sad. The President spent four days in Ireland only two weeks ago.

But here's something sadder. If the election were held today, millions of Americans would still pull the lever for Joe Biden. They would vote for senility in a very dangerous time.

Sorry to sound cruel.

New column Sunday noon.

Biden Falsehoods

2023-04-27T15:09:00Z

It was simply stunning that President Biden told the world in his brief Wednesday press conference that 58 percent of Americans approve of the job he's doing. According to the latest CBS News poll, out this week, 59 percent of those surveyed think the President is performing poorly.

That might be because he is.

So, where is Joe Biden getting his stats?

Nowhere, that's where.

President Biden, like so many Americans, believes what he wants to believe, and facts be damned. The border is secure; inflation is transitory; crime is worse in Republican areas; he is not a big government spender.

So many falsehoods, so little time.

Some politicians contrive misleading statements. Not Joe. He just reads what's put in front of him. Whatever you say, advisors, that's what I'll say.

There is no search for truthfulness. Why bother with that? The media doesn't care about the truth, so why should the White House?

We'll say anything we want and then have supper.

That is where we are in history. The federal government lives on fantasy island. It travels in another dimension. It bears false witness with no shame at all.

And millions of Americans would vote for more; bring it on. And that's the truth.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Looking for Alternatives

2023-04-26T15:33:00Z

President Biden's announcement that he'll run again is simply preposterous. If he secures another term, he'd be 86 when he leaves office. What's next 97-year-old Dick Van Dyke for VP?

According to the polls, the vast majority of Americans understand Mr. Biden is not a competent president. Yet, if Donald Trump is his opponent, the race would be close. Trump hatred remains intense among many voters.

The Democratic Party should be looking for an alternative for old Joe, and I want to help because that's the kind of guy I am.

So here are some suggestions:

- Rosie O'Donnell. Checks all the LG boxes and never met a progressive policy she didn't embrace. Her pal Madonna would be the FBI chief.

- George Clooney. While he's preoccupied with selling Tequila, he is capable of articulating liberal positions and remains a true believer. Brad Pitt would be Secretary of State.

- Morning Joe. Used to be a Republican but converted to the woke religion after NBC offered him money. Mika might be appointed to a new position: Secretary of Shopping.

- And finally, Rachel Maddow, another box checker. She absolutely could mount a serious challenge to Biden and eye-roll him to death in a debate. Campaign slogan: take a left and keep going left until the debt collapses the country."

That would be an excellent field for the Dems, no doubt. So put Joe Biden in a golf cart, and let's do it, people!

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Tucker Carlson's Departure

2023-04-25T07:00:00Z

Each morning TV News producers around the country hold meetings to figure out what to put on the air. On Monday, the Tucker Carlson production team was smack in the middle of their meeting when they learned that their host was not coming to work.

Ever again.

Stunning is the appropriate word.

Six years ago, I left Fox News, so the timing of Tucker's departure was interesting as he took my place at 8 pm. As I mentioned on the No Spin News last night, the television news industry is a brutal place to work. Always has been, but now it's worse because media corporations have no loyalty to anyone but the bank teller.

Fox News is a far different place than it was when I spent 20 years there. And by this time next year, it will be a far different place again, of that I am certain.

The change at Fox News will affect the Republican Party deeply. It will be much tougher for the GOP to get messages out.

Tonight on the No Spin News, we'll update the Tucker Carlson story and also report on ten ways the progressive movement is harming America. Hope to see you beginning at six.

Presidential Limbo

2023-04-24T15:55:00Z

A poll out yesterday says 70 percent of Americans do not want President Biden to run again, and those who do are consuming crack. Wait. I made up the crack part.

But not the seven-zero part. Americans who are lucid understand things are getting worse on Pennsylvania Avenue. Much worse.

As I wrote in this week's column posted on the site, Mr. Biden is fighting hard to overtake the spineless James Buchanan as the worst president ever.

This is like a political game show called: "Presidential Limbo, How Low Can You Go?"

Just inflation and the Border madness alone makes my point.

In the NBC poll, some cite old age as the primary reason old Joe should hang it up. For me, it's 100 percent performance, not the time clock.

Yes, Joe Biden is befuddled. But it's more than that. The man believes in nothing and is allowing radicals to set his agenda. But far younger executives at Disney do that.

But, for the good of the country, President Biden should retire. We the people, do not deserve any more of this.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Harsh Judgment

2023-04-21T15:45:00Z

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy made his first appearance on the No Spin News this week, and I asked him about the border situation, which gets more dangerous by the day.

The question was simple: "Why is President Biden not enforcing immigration law and allowing what is now 6.6 million migrants into the United States?"

The Speaker said he did not have an answer to that question.

And I believe that he really doesn't know why Biden has destroyed the southern border.

We can all speculate, but that's useless. The far left certainly wants open borders and does not care about the flood of narcotics that leads to. Biden is an absolute prisoner of far-left ideology on every issue, including unfettered abortion, for which he will have to answer if there is a judgment day.

To me, Joe Biden is impaired and absolutely incapable of running this country. Of course, I could be wrong about the impairment, but vast evidence is on my side.

To those Americans who still support the President, I say that you are partially responsible for hundreds of thousands of drug deaths and the immense suffering of millions of migrants lured to the open border.

That might be a harsh judgment, but it's true.

Enjoy the weekend.

Homeless Intrusion

2023-04-20T15:30:00Z

Lost in the anti-Fox media hysteria was a measured statement about the homeless situation put out by former President Donald Trump.

Essentially, Mr. Trump believes that unsheltered folks have no right to intrude on other Americans by camping in the streets, sidewalks, and parks. He goes on to say that local authorities should remove the "tent cities" but offer mental help in the process. Trump also says that many of the homeless are substance abusers who don't want "treatment."

Donald Trump is correct in his assessment. But he might add one other measure which would stop the terrible situation cold. Every American city and town should pass an ordinance that forbids "camping" in public areas. If the local municipalities refuse, they will not receive federal funds.

Simple, effective.

Then, if homeless people disobey the camping law, they would be arrested and detained for "mental evaluation." That would be the worst thing that could happen to addicts as they would be deprived of narcotics and alcohol while in detention. Faced with that reality, squalid camps would rapidly disappear.

So, there's the solution to the vexing homeless intrusion. And I have to give some credit to Donald Trump; at least he's thinking about social problems.

Is President Biden doing that?

Not that I can detect.

Special Message: Fox News Settlement

2023-04-19T07:00:00Z

Big energy in liberal media corridors as Fox News is punished for foolish coverage of the 2020 election. FNC will pay almost $800 million to the Dominion Voting Machine company and has admitted some of its programs misled viewers, and some Fox personnel knew that was happening in real-time.

Because FNC will not be completely destroyed, the usual far-left loons are disappointed. Wounded is not enough; they want death to the conservative infidels!

Going forward, Fox News faces a similar lawsuit from the Smartmatic Company and perhaps thousands of lawsuits from Fox shareholders. What a disaster.

This is what happens when money becomes more important than honest information. Since I left FNC, the template changed from "Fair and Balanced" to "tell the audience what it wants to hear." And millions of Trump voters, to this day, want to believe the 2020 election was rigged.

That opinion can certainly be presented if you provide a counter opinion - equal time.

However, once the facts begin to overwhelm any point of view, a news agency has an obligation to say that.

On BillOReilly.com, I examined all the fraud charges and concluded that no federal court would accept the cheating allegations. Therefore, the election was not going to be refuted by our legal system.

When I stated that opinion to my audience, I lost more than one thousand premium members. So be it. I did my job.
Money is not the motivating force in this operation.

Fox News saw it differently, and now payment has been rendered. But the nightmare will continue for FNC.

See you this evening for the No Spin News, where you will always get an honest take.

Predictable Response

2023-04-18T15:26:00Z

President Biden's reaction to the shooting In Alabama was predictable: gun laws will stop the carnage, but Republicans oppose it.

Same song, different day.

Mr. Biden and other liberal Americans really don't care about gun violence because if they did, there is a reality to be confronted.

The mass shooting at an Alabama Sweet 16 party was an African-American event. In fact, gun violence in America is now being driven by young males who are disproportionately black.

Why? And what is the Biden administration doing about black-on-black violence?

The answer is nada, to use a Spanish word.

Why again? Because the left has designated African-American crime a no-fly zone.

Back to guns, the right is looking away as well, but it's different. The loon who gunned down 13 innocent people in the Louisville bank bought an AR rifle a few days prior to his murder spree.

If the state of Kentucky had a law requiring mandatory training before a heavy weapon is acquired, the guy could not have done what he did, at least in the short term. But millions of Americans want no gun restrictions at all.

Gun violence will always be a part of America. But we can diminish the deadly problem with discipline and common sense.

Not happening anywhere right now.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Religion Rejectors

2023-04-17T14:42:00Z

While driving back from New England to Long Island on Saturday, a guy cut me off on the Mass Pike. Not uncommon. But the bumper sticker on his Honda was. It read "Religion: Fake News."

Provocative, right?

I almost followed the driver because there were a few things he might help me with. Such as the mysteries of the universe. The incredible complexity of the human body, how a surf-riding amoeba could grow up to be a Brontosaurus. These religion rejectors surely have cogent explanations for all of the above.

But of course, they don't.

It's easy to believe in what you can see. Not a challenge. But spiritual faith requires a mental discipline, a fusion of logic (the dinosaur reference), and physical reality. Check out the intricacy of your eyes, for example. It's incredible. Evolution? Slim chance.

Non-believers in a Creator don't bother me; they are exercising their freedom - courtesy of their noble country. I am not in the judgment business unless a person is hurting another person. The guy who cut me off may be a generous and positive human being.

And he has inspired me to create a counter bumper sticker that will read: "Atheism, nothing there!"

Woke Agendas

2023-04-14T14:29:00Z

Most Americans at this point in history are tolerant folks. Up to a point. When they feel pressure to conform to uncomfortable situations, especially involving their children, rebellion can surface.

Enter the Anheuser-Busch company which had a sweet thing going selling Bud Light beer. But the woke executives who call marketing shots decided to experiment. with gender. Uh-oh.

They hired a man who wants to be a woman to pitch Bud Light. This person has a following on social media and was more than happy to gulp down the beer companies money.

But millions of customers are not happy. And now A.B. is losing big money. Gulp!

It's not about transgender bias. Most Americans could not care less about adults fooling around with Mother Nature in private. Is it about having this trans movement shoved down throats along with beer. Pun intended.

Kids know what's going on and that's a big part of the problem. Traditional parents don't want woke agendas enveloping their children.

So Bud Light is now in the middle of a heavy mess that is not going to be soon forgotten. Like the Disney Company, A.B. will suffer heavy losses that may not be transitory.

As Peter, Paul and Mary once sang: "when will they ever learn?"

In Your Face

2023-04-13T13:00:00Z

It was strange to see Hunter Biden hop off Air Force One in Belfast, living large at taxpayer expense. Strange and provocative because Hunter is under investigation for serious crimes.

Of course, the American media underreports the story as they continue to prop up the Biden administration, which needs all the propping it can get.

It would be unfair to convict Hunter Biden of anything. He's innocent until proven guilty. But you can't prove malfeasance if you don't even investigate, and that is certainly a possibility with the U.S. Justice Department compromised by politics.

Anyway, President Biden's decision to take Hunter to Erie is certainly an "in your face" move.

As the world becomes more dangerous by the day, it is worth thinking about what is likely to happen. Our enemies will test us over the next year, no question in my mind.

Is the Biden administration ready for that?

You make the call.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

A Massive Problem

2023-04-12T14:07:00Z

Every poll says the same thing: most "likely voters" are fed up with the poor job President Biden is doing. The surveys also indicate Donald Trump has a negative image as well due to his personal style.

Neither situation is likely to change before the primaries begin in early 2024. Mr. Biden is incompetent, and Mr. Trump is polarizing in the extreme.

So both political parties have a massive problem. There is no one visible enough to replace Biden, and few democrats would challenge him anyway for fear of angering the left wing, which has Biden in its pocket.

On the right, Trump remains the front-runner over Governor DeSantis, and the MAGA voters are incredibly loyal. However, there are not enough of them to propel Donald Trump back into the White House, assuming he wins the most primary votes.

Taking emotional politics out of the picture, the smart play for the Democrats would be to have Joe Biden hang it up and usher in an open primary process where a number of candidates could be evaluated.

The intelligent play for Trump and DeSantis would be to agree to run together, the Governor taking the Vice-Presidential slot by agreement with Trump.

However, both of those situations would require egos to be put aside.

Place your bets now.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Clueless

2023-04-11T15:03:00Z

As President Biden zips into Ireland to celebrate the end of the "troubles" 25 years ago, real-time troubles are mounting for everyday Americans. Food prices continue to rise, and gas will go higher as the summer driving season approaches.

Meanwhile, Mr. Biden remains clueless in the problem-solving area even as the White House propaganda machine turns out the biggest political fantasies this correspondent has ever seen.

The latest is that the shameful Afghanistan withdrawal was Trump's fault. As is the border crisis and inflation. In fact, Donald Trump is responsible for every difficulty in this country.

Joe Biden is the savior.

Gibberish does not even come close. And structural damage to the USA, largely caused by Biden's colossal incompetence, is immense.

But the kicker is America's image abroad. Israel has no use for Biden, nor do the Arabs. The transgender insanity does not play well in the Islamic world.

Macron in France says Taiwan is not Europe's problem as Xi and Putin seek to humiliate America every hour on the hour. Folks overseas don't fear us; they laugh at us. Even failed head of state Obrador in Mexico hoots at cooperating with the U.S.

I guess Ireland still likes us as American tourists keep its economy afloat. So, they may hoist a Guinness over there when old Joe Biden arrives.

But they'll be glad to see him go, as will many Americans when the Biden nightmare finally ends.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Clarence Thomas Controversy

2023-04-10T14:30:00Z

This Clarence Thomas thing is illuminating and once again shows how wicked the American media is. The Justice allowed his longtime friend Harlan Crow, a wealthy Texan, to pick up some vacation expenses over the years. Mr. Crow had no business with the court.

Apparently, there was no Supreme Court edict against that until fairly recently, so Thomas believes he did nothing wrong by accepting his friend's largesse.

It was interesting to see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez jump the line in hammering Clarence Thomas even though she accepted freebies in a museum controversy last year. As Barbara Streisand once sang: "misty water-colored memories," right Congresswoman?

But it is the civilian Harlan Crow who is really being worked over. The media is painting him as a Nazi sympathizer because he has a copy of Hitler's book "Mein Kampf," signed by the mass murderer.

What the reportage leaves out is the book is a small part of an extensive collection of world and American history that Mr. Crow has put together over the years. He has thousands of original pieces, including stuff from heinous villains. It is one of the best historical collections in the world - better than any museum.

How do I know? Well, I've been to Harlan Crow's house and seen it.

But you'd never know the historical context by listening to the cheap shot artists on television and in print. They despise Justice Thomas and, by extension, his friend Harlan Crow.

So let's harm them both; Revolting but the standard procedure in America.

See you later for the No Spin News.

The Left's Humorous Insight

2023-04-07T14:14:00Z

A liberal pundit named Mona Charen provided some humor this week when she opined that Republicans who criticize the indictment of Donald Trump are "soft on crime."

Jerry Seinfeld envies that kind of humorous insight.

But, alas, that's what Mona really believes because it fits into her "Trump is the devil narrative." In fact, I was surprised the woman didn't accuse indictment dissenters of being Satan worshipers.

If we carry Mona's analysis forward, anyone objecting to wild government spending would be anti-money. Critical of open borders? You'd be anti-travel.

Fed up with rampant cursing everywhere? You are soft on free expression.

For the left, anything bad that happens to Donald Trump is good. I almost put him on the cover of my upcoming book: "Killing the Witches." Mona Charen and her caravan want the former President, and perhaps those who support him, to suffer. A lot.

On that happy note, I wish everyone a calm Easter weekend. New column Sunday noon.

America's Decline

2023-04-06T07:00:00Z

You can be sure Xi and Putin are having a blast watching the latest political fiasco in the USA. Both men are brutal dictators who sneer at dissent and due process. To them, the Trump legal circus is just another example of America's decline.

In Russia and China, a person like Stormy Daniels would quickly disappear along with anyone else who threatened those in power. In the USA, Ms. Daniels is a celebrity who is now marketing T-shirts.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg could exist in a totalitarian situation because he is willing to bend justice for political reasons. Yes, Putin and Xi could put Mr. Bragg to good use.

It is apparent that many world leaders sense a growing weakness not only in American leadership but also within the population. In Chicago, the folks just elected a new mayor who is softer on crime than Lori Lightfoot. I'm sure that prompted giggles in Beijing and Moscow, where violent crime is suppressed with greater violence. Step out of line; they'll come and take you away.

So, Americans need to wise up quickly. Our freedoms are in jeopardy from both inside and outside this country. We must stop the madness.

See you for the No Spin News this evening.

The Hapless DA

2023-04-05T15:12:00Z

A few things are clear about the Trump indictment. First, after his press conference, I think it's fair to say that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is not exactly Eliot Ness. Or even Barney Fife. His entire case rests on the assertion that Donald Trump used illegal business practices to cover up or commit a greater crime.

But what crime? Bragg told reporters that he doesn't have to say.

Oh.

It's instructive to put Alvin Bragg in the TV show "Law and Order: Criminal Intent." The fearless lawman is convinced that an alleged dalliance between Mr. Trump and an actress that occurred in 2006 is the basis of 34 felonies in 2023.

Think about this. Ten years after the interlude supposedly occurred, Ms. Stormy shows up with a lawyer demanding money. Why? Because it's two weeks before the election of 2016. If Daniels had not brought the lawyer, who's now in prison, she could have been charged with alleged extortion. And then there was another woman who wanted to sell her ancient history to the National Enquirer.

These are the people Alvin Bragg is championing.

The hapless DA has to know that "intent" to violate the law has to be established in order to convict Trump. Surely, the former President's lawyers will say money changed hands to avoid family embarrassment. That happens in this litigation-mad country every minute.

Tuesday was not a good day for law enforcement in America. Alvin looked like one of the chipmunks, not a champion of justice.

Or am I wrong?

See you later for the No Spin News.

A Corrupt Justice System

2023-04-04T14:33:00Z

At this point in history, there is no American justice system. The FBI and Justice Department have been politicized, and George Soros owns powerful local prosecutors like Alvin Bragg in New York, the Trump tormentor.

If you've had the occasion to be in civil court lately, you know that perjury rules the day in many cases. A growing number of judges rule on whim and favoritism.

Donald Trump is an unlikely martyr, but the corrupt system and reckless media are turning him into one. Step back for a moment: does anyone believe Trump is being treated fairly?

Many of us love our country, but it is in steep decline. I wish I had a magic wand to reverse that, but I don't.

Thus the only thing to do is seek the truth and tough out the rest.

See you tonight on the No Spin News.

The Divided States of America

2023-04-03T15:01:00Z

So, political war has broken out in America, an almost unique historical situation. Obviously, the Civil War was a traditional violent situation, so the national division over the Vietnam War comes closest to what we have now.

Both sides are adamant their opponents are corrupt and destructive. The Trump support cadres believe the former President is the victim of a dishonest justice system and media.

The anti-Trump legions think Trump himself is corrupt and has been destructive to the country.

There is no detente possible with the two positions, they are entrenched, and because there is no reliable messenger for "the truth" any longer, they will remain in stone.

The difference now from the Vietnam days is that a substantial number of Americans are solidly apathetic. With a dreaded draft in place back in the 1960s, ignoring politics was difficult.

Today it's easy with all the high-tech addiction. Millions of Americans live in trivial bubbles where harsh realities are blocked with the swipe of a thumb.

The 2024 presidential vote will be a major turning point for this country. But getting there promises to be civically painful. The divided states of America are not going to forge a compromise anytime soon, and a major portion of the population doesn't care anyway.

We'll continue our fair and smart analysis of the Trump situation tonight on the No Spin News.

Trump Indictment

2023-03-31T15:02:00Z

Reaction to the Manhattan indictment of Donald Trump was predictable, that is no surprise. Republicans and conservatives are generally crying political persecution, while Democrats and liberals applaud.

Thus the hatred level in America ratchets up to the highest level since the Civil War.

So, what now? The legal case will proceed, and that could take years. Meanwhile, Donald Trump will continue his presidential campaign, most likely picking up support from voters who see blatant unfairness from the ultra-liberal DA Alvin Bragg.

New Yorkers will understand that Mr. Bragg is soft on crime, as all the statistics show. But he's on a mission to get Trump, using a low-level beef he would usually ignore.

No one knows how this will play out. What we do know is Donald Trump will have to pay lawyers millions in his defense. We also know that a Special Prosecutor beholden to the Biden Administration is eager to charge Trump for inciting the January 6 riot. It will be easier to do that after Bragg's indictment.

While Donald Trump brings some problems onto himself, the leftist political machine is determined to destroy him, and there are no rules. That's what Trump is facing; a powerful, well-financed campaign of destruction.

It's wrong.

Ready to Rumble

2023-03-30T14:54:00Z

As we reported earlier in the week, only 25 percent of Democrats want President Biden to "pursue" a second term. This according to a Monmouth Poll.

That doesn't mean Dems wouldn't vote for Biden; a sizable number would. But most want another choice.

And that choice is not Vice President Harris; just 13 percent of Democrats would like to see her in the Oval Office. Not exactly good news for Kamala.

The biggest problem among Dem voters is they don't know anyone in their party they would like to see replace Mr. Joe. The field is slim, and none with slim in a coma.

That's because liberal leadership has been a disaster in states like New York, Illinois, and California. In the granola state, for example, Governor Gavin Newsom inherited a budget surplus and has turned it into a 23 billion dollar deficit. Now, California is passing another "attack the wealthy" tax, which will continue the exodus out of there.

Think about it. Where are the legacy Democrats? The Kennedys, Tip O'Neil, Daniel Patrick Moynihan? Moderates all.

Today, moderates can't exist in the Democratic Party. You've got to echo socialist Bernie or communist AOC.

So it's Joe Biden by default. The man with no plan, the master of disaster.

Let's get ready to rumble.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

What's Important?

2023-03-29T07:00:00Z

Recent polling shows a disturbing drop in the "what's important" category. Led by younger Americans, religion and patriotism are on the skids. This is NOT a good thing, but understandable in our current culture.

Organized religion has been shrinking for years in the USA, mirroring what happened in Europe in the late 20th century. Two reasons: first, many clerics cannot connect their theology to the modern world. They are essentially boring and disinterested in the actual lives of their congregations. I go to Mass every Sunday. I know what I'm talking about.

Second, many folks don't believe in right and wrong any longer. They want to do whatever. They reject any judgment of behavior, which is what religion does, with a few exceptions.

On the patriotism front, the collapse of the public schools in many places fosters ignorance and apathy about a citizen's duty. Younger folks now tend to identify with social culture, not a vast nation.

If you don't know history, geography, and political science, why would you have an attachment to your country? Immigrants often love America more than those born here because they know what America provides; they can compare now to then.

Younger Americans, in general, have little frame of reference. They live insulated lives drifting in cyber-space. Some of them are even insulted they have to earn a living. Their collective motto: "where's mine."

Any country is only as strong as the people who live in it. Our decline is apparent.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Tragedy in Tennessee

2023-03-28T14:21:00Z

Three more innocent children murdered. This time by a trans woman in Tennessee who also shot three adults to death. The site was a religious school; the killer shot dead by police.

Almost immediately, President Biden demanded an assault rifle ban because that gun was used in the murders, and Biden had no idea how to stop violent crime other than cliche-ridden declarations.

Forgive my cynicism, but if the hapless President really cared about human life, he'd protect the southern border - the transshipment point for fentanyl and other dangerous narcotics which are killing hundreds of thousands.

The Tennessee trans woman who murdered the six human beings was obviously mentally ill. And evil. No other explanation. In a nation of 330 million, there are legions of dangerous people.

Strictly enforced gun bans might cut down on a few murders but will certainly not solve the violence problem. In fact, nothing will stop violent mayhem, just as nothing will stop mental illness.

Containment is all we can hope for.

Once again, all gun crimes should be federal offenses with strict mandatory punishment attached. As for powerful rifles, individual states should decide the license requirements. New York City is far different than Wyoming.

The second amendment allows for lawful firearm protection. That will not change. But to spare any more 9-year-olds from being shot to death, we have to get much tougher on gun criminals.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Trump's Waco Rally

2023-03-27T15:01:00Z

According to Texas authorities, more than 18,000 folks showed up for Donald Trump's first campaign event on Saturday. Big crowd in Waco that none of his competitors for the Republican nomination could match at this point.

Something to keep in mind.

The Associated Press covered the speech but failed to mention the crowd size, a significant lapse in reporting. The AP did that because the news agency despises Trump and rarely reports anything positive about him.

Instead, the AP heavily implied that the former president was inciting violence in his remarks condemning those arrayed against him. Certainly, Trump is provocative in the extreme, but the incitement of violence is an opinion that should have no place in a hard news dispatch.

Editors at the Associated Press know that but don't care. They want all Americans to hate Trump as much as they do and don't understand why that's not happening.

Even though the AP is widely distributed, it doesn't matter much anymore what they do regarding Trump. Most Americans understand his upside and downside, so shading reports against him is largely a waste of time.

But the AP people simply cannot stop because they're addicted to the game. And there's no rehab in the world going to change that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Glory Days?

2023-03-24T16:32:00Z

An Associated Press poll out this week has President Biden's job approval rating at a paltry 38 percent. There's no hiding from the fact that Mr. Biden is a weak president with few problem-solving ideas.

The poohbahs and money people who actually run the Democratic Party understand the President's situation, and that is why he hasn't formally announced his reelection run. His own party would much rather put forth someone else, but outside of Michelle Obama, there's no possible candidate that has a chance at this point in history.

The legal attacks on Donald Trump are providing some cover for Joe Biden, but the grocery store is overriding that. Prices for everything are up. Banks are failing. Putin and Xi are saber-rattling.

Meanwhile, President Biden spends his work days meeting with Ted Lasso and Bruce Springsteen.

Glory days, indeed.

The truth is Joe Biden is a disaster. And things are getting worse in the USA. It's a miracle for the Prez that 38 percent of us still don't realize that.

On Monday, I'll have some new information about the Trump/document deal. New column Sunday noon.

The Man With No Plan

2023-03-23T15:02:00Z

Does it seem strange to you that there is very little of substance on President Biden's official work schedule? The first three days of this week, he did the following: moderated Farsi day at the White House, met with the cast of 'Ted Lasso,' honored Bruce Springsteen and other liberal entertainers, and celebrated Women's History month.

Meanwhile, Putin and Xi met in Moscow to cook up anti-freedom stuff; the Dow dropped more than 500 points on Wednesday, and the Border Patrol announced it found nearly 1,000 dead migrants last year.

This is concerning. I do not believe Joe Biden is even trying to solve problems. He dodges all accountability and rarely speaks to the press. He's the man with no plan.

The United States is spiraling downward, and most Americans know it, according to all the polling. Yet, the President does nothing to reassure us.

Nothing.

Three words: Nero, fiddle, burns.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

DeSantis Needs to Study Up

2023-03-22T07:00:00Z

The people advising Florida Governor Ron DeSantis believe now is "his time." They think he can win the Republican nomination and be elected President in 2024.

I say the Governor has a shot but needs to study up. He undeniably has done an excellent job running Florida, but so did Jeb Bush. Basking in the sunshine is not enough to secure the Oval Office.

Recently, DeSantis made a policy mistake by saying Ukraine is a dispute over territory and not a vital issue for the United States. That is a naïve statement because Putin is obviously on the march as he attempts to resurrect the Soviet Union. Enslaving millions of people is not something Americans endorse.

Even more important is China's design to control Taiwan, a free state. If Putin wins in Ukraine, the Taiwanese are goners.

The Governor should know this.

DeSantis also made a significant error by uttering the words "porn star" while discussing the Trump case. That set off the former President, who rightfully heard disrespect in those words.

If Ron DeSantis really wants the top job, he will eventually need millions of Trump voters to support him. So he might choose his words more carefully.

Tonight on the No Spin News, I'll continue my DeSantis analysis. See you beginning at six eastern.

Impending Doom

2023-03-21T14:51:00Z

In order to understand the impending doom of the American justice system, you have to realize how dangerous things have really become.

Here in New York, where I live, the Governor and state legislature are allowing criminals to go unpunished even as innocent people are suffering. Crime victims can expect no protection or court-sanctioned retribution in the Empire State. The same for California, Illinois, Oregon, and other liberal states.

The social compact of this country demands "justice for all." But that has collapsed under the apathetic weight of the progressive movement, which believes American law enforcement is racist because more black citizens are arrested and incarcerated. That misguided point of view totally ignores the fact that African-American crime victims far outnumber other groups on a proportional basis.

Yet most black voters continue to support soft-on-crime politicians. Totally illogical but true.

Used to be that Americans had confidence that most crimes and civil wrongdoing would have consequences. That's now a fantasy as brazen thugs harm innocent people almost at will - including selling poison like fentanyl, which is now considered a "non-violent" crime in many places.

Somewhere down the line, this atrocious apathy on the part of elected officials will stop. But not before millions of Americans will experience life-altering pain.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

A Trump Indictment

2023-03-20T14:48:00Z

Here's something to keep your eye on. If Donald Trump is indicted by a Manhattan Grand Jury at the behest of far-left District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the House Republicans will almost certainly refer criminal charges against the Biden family, perhaps including the President himself.

That's because everyone knows the Stormy Daniels situation is being used to punish Trump politically, just as the two impeachments were. The GOP rightly will fight back.

In the middle of this political chicanery are we the people. All of this certainly does not help strengthen our country. In fact, major damage is being done to the USA by zealots on both sides of the political equation.

The media, of course, could not care less about the folks and will not report the truth about our now-weaponized justice system, which rarely seeks justice. Today, it's all about power politics and ideology.

So-called "prosecutorial discretion" and the failure of civil judges to follow stated law has destroyed accountability.

That's why we are here. From us, you will get fact-based truth without calculation or deceit. Hope you find our approach worthy.

See you tonight for the No Spin News. I'll report on my two-hour meeting with President Trump last week.

Enabler of the Swamp

2023-03-17T15:02:00Z

The FBI's role in both former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden's classified document handling says a lot about the government organization, especially director Christopher Wray.

Wray seems to be an enabler of the swamp that is Washington, D.C.

Please watch the video above.

Avoiding Honesty

2023-03-16T15:43:00Z

The Biden administration has an issue with being honest. That is showcased nearly every day at the White House press briefings hosted by Karine Jean-Pierre.

When it comes to issues that are hurting Americans daily, whether it’s the border or the economy, Jean-Pierre will push the administration’s agenda at the expense of the truth.

Who Are Trump's Supporters?

2023-03-15T17:19:00Z

The corporate media often dismisses Donald Trump but he still has a strong following who are dedicated to the business mogul running in 2024.

In this clip, along with political guru Patrick Basham, we examine who makes up former President Trump's followers.

Liberal Border Policies

2023-03-14T14:49:00Z

This past January, the corporate media failed to report on three El Salvadoran children stranded on an island near the Rio Grande river, on the southern border.

The Biden administration and its liberal policies continue to hurt not just Americans but migrant children who are pawns in the illegal immigration situation.

Please listen to the video above.

The Threat From China & Russia

2023-03-13T07:00:00Z

Everyone knows by now that the countries of China and Russia pose a threat to freedom and democracy throughout the world.

Just last month I spoke with former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who explained the thought process behind the leaders of China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, as well as what they're capable of.

"These folks just think about human life differently and they care about their country differently."

Jill Biden's Enormous Power

2023-03-10T16:00:00Z

So, yesterday in his budget speech, President Biden told us about a woman whose annual health cost is $600,000.

As the President put it: "$7,000 a month."

Wait. That's $84,000, not $600,000.

No problem. Mr. Biden continued to ramble on. As the famous movie line goes: "We don't need no stinkin' math."

Again I will tell you; the most powerful man in the world does not know what he is saying. Has no clue. Gibberish is his game.

The shock is millions of Americans don't care. Maybe they don't listen. More likely, they spend a lot of time on TikTok.

For more than a year in his second term, President Woodrow Wilson could barely speak after suffering a stroke. His wife Edith pretty much ran the country as the White House kept the situation secret.

Today, Jill Biden has enormous power because her husband is often delirious. And Mrs. Biden, like Edith Wilson, loves her position.

She wants her husband to run again. But first, maybe we get a math tutor.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday.

Bad Leadership

2023-03-09T08:00:00Z

We are still waiting for President Biden to comment on the two dead African-Americans killed by Mexican cartel thugs. I guess the President is mulling over a response. It's not easy because Mr. Biden has essentially ignored the colossal lawlessness that is happening at the border for the past two years.

The issues are clear: millions of migrants crossing illegally into the USA, tons of dangerous drugs pouring in and killing Americans, violent Mexican gangsters terrorizing people on both sides of the border.

This is a federal problem, but Joe Biden has no solution and doesn't seem to care very much that four Americans were brutalized in Matamoros this week.

Black Lives Matter, correct, Mr. President?

Throughout our history, we the people have experienced bad leadership. Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, Herbert Hoover, and, worst of all: James Buchanan.

Joseph Biden is trying hard to crack that lineup.

I think he'll make it.

But in the meantime, what are we to think of a President who simply ignores ongoing catastrophes? A man who has destroyed border security. It's so strange and frustrating, especially if you or your family members have been victimized.

Do something, Joe Biden.

Don't just sit there.

See you later for the No Spin News.

True or False

2023-03-08T14:43:00Z

Without partisan rancor, let's take a look at Monday's airing of the January 6 Capitol riot tape and do a true/false analysis.

Every protester who entered the U.S. Capitol on that day broke the law - true.

Some of the protesters were peaceful after entering - true.

Some were violent - true.

The Fox News presentation downplayed the violence - true.

Police officers died because of the riot - false with an explanation.

Officer Brian Sicknick suffered a stroke and died shortly after the riot, but medically the cause of death cannot be definitively attributed to the protesters.

President Biden, Attorney General Garland, and numerous politicians accused the Capitol trespassers of murder - true.

So did members of Brian Sicknick's family - true.

It is possible to understand the riot by watching the Fox-edited tape. False. With 40,000 hours of video boiled down to a few minutes, just about any point could be made.

Some MAGA conservatives believe the riot was not a serious issue - true.

Some Democrats say the riot was not a serious issue - false.

Unlike conservatives who differ on the historical impact of the riot, all liberals believe it was an insurrection even though that charge has not been brought in any of the 1,000 cases.

And finally, President Trump directly caused the riot - false. That case remains weak.

President Trump did not act quickly enough to condemn it - true. No doubt.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Deficit Spending

2023-03-07T15:44:00Z

We are being scammed. We the people. Of the United States. The problem is many of us don't care.

Here's the sting. President Biden says he is cutting the deficit. Even the ladies on The View should know that's not true.

But then again.

Enter the Congressional Budget Office. Bean counters, numbers people. Can't inject ideology into it.

The CBO puts forth the projected deficit for ten years ending in 2033 is $20.26 trillion.

But wait. Before Biden took office, the projected deficit for ten years was $12.27
trillion.

So Joe, the deficit cutter, has added a projected $8 trillion in deficit spending in two years.

Way to go, Joe. No president has ever come close to that. For you bankruptcy fans, this is great.

Joe Biden, big tipper with our hard-earned money.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Ridicule Factor

2023-03-06T08:00:00Z

Saul Alinsky is the Che Guevara of the USA. Before he died in 1972, he provided battle plans to the far left in the form of written "Rules for Radicals." It is said that Hillary Clinton wrote a paper at Wellesley College about Alinsky, but I have not been able to confirm that.

Alinsky laid out 11 strategies to destroy political opposition to the left. Rule number five is this: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's hard to counter-attack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."

Rule number eight: "Keep the pressure on."

As one who has been on the receiving end of Alinsky's war machine for more than 25 years, I well understand the ridicule factor, so to speak. And it's never been used more than it is today.

Just ask Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Ridicule cuts both ways.

Fox News is the latest example of nonstop ridicule thanks to the Dominion voting machine lawsuit. The story is weeks old, yet every day the corporate media finds another way to highlight it. This will never end.

And sometimes, the press simply regurgitates the story with no new information. USA Today, a liberal enterprise did that a few days ago just in case someone missed the first three thousand reports.

At this point, there is little FNC can do but hope it wins in court. However, Alinsky would be disappointed if he were still around. The network will keep its core audience of older conservative viewers. They will stand by their men and women, having nowhere else to go.

Better call Saul. Bad news for the dearly departed. Worse news for the leftist media.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Corruption

2023-03-03T15:46:00Z

The pathetic showings by Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI chief Christopher Wray recently pretty much prove that the U.S. Department of Justice is corrupt.

During an interview with Fox News, Wray was asked why the Hunter Biden investigation has dragged on for three years—a simple question. Wray blamed the U.S. Attorney in Delaware and then said he could not comment on the investigation itself.

Of course, that's not true. The Director of the FBI has the authority to answer general questions about ongoing investigations. You will remember former FBI chief James Comey publicly updating the status of the Hillary Clinton/documents probe twice.

As for AG Garland, he was asked in a Senate hearing why protesters in front of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh's home were not prosecuted. They are clearly seen on tape violating federal law. Why aren't they charged?

Garland had absolutely no credible answer. A federal statute passed in 1950, Title 18, Section 1507, makes it illegal for persons to attempt to intimidate federal officials at their homes, something the Kavanaugh protesters were doing beyond any reasonable doubt.

But Garland declined to pursue the case because the Biden administration did not want him to. By the way, the Garland Justice has prosecuted dozens of pro-life demonstrators.

That's politicizing the Justice Department. That's corrupting an agency vital to the American people.

Here's the bigger picture: the United States is in decline. Only voters can reverse that.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Far-Left Rebuke

2023-03-02T15:51:00Z

The backlash against pro-criminal leftists in office is now fully underway. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was humiliated in the election this week, getting just 17 percent of the vote, so she's out.

As you may know, under Lightfoot's administration, the Windy City has become a place of violent mayhem.

In Missouri, Attorney General Andrew Bailey actually fired St. Louis District Attorney Kim Gardner, who never saw a criminal she didn't want to release. St. Louis has the highest murder rate in the country.

In Philadelphia, the DA Larry Krasner is being impeached by the state legislature in Harrisburg. Krasner is openly defiant about his pathetic conviction rate.

And in New Orleans, the ninth most violent city in the world, Mayor LaToya Cantrell is the target of a recall vote.

The progressive left has badly damaged public safety and proactive policing almost everywhere it has power. But now, the voters may have had enough dead bodies in their cities.

Let's hope so.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The Hollywood Bubble

2023-03-01T14:50:00Z

Actor Bryan Cranston, the Breaking Bad guy, believes embracing the "Make America Great Again" slogan is racist. Mr. Breaking says America was never great for Blacks, so wanting to make it great again is a false premise. And if you subscribe to that premise, you are insulting your fellow African American citizens.

No, Bryan is not on drugs; he really believes that because in his show biz world, that's standard issue. The bubble people in Los Angeles see skin color and gender as defining the USA.

And if you don't see it that way, they don't want you around.

I would like America to be great again because things are not so hot right now with a shaky economy and cancel culture gone wild. Then there's Putin and Xi, gigantic pests.

Great is an overused word, but here are some examples of how the United States has excelled.

- Defeating Hitler and Tojo in World War II.

- Freeing tens of millions by collapsing the Soviet Union.

- Crushing the Jihad.

- Accepting hundreds of millions of immigrants and providing opportunities for them to have far better lives than in their countries of birth.

- Having the highest standard of living on the planet.

- Providing trillions in taxpayer dollars so the poor will have a chance to rise.

There are many more great things this nation has accomplished. And I don't really care what Bryan Cranston believes - he's wrong, that's that.

What I do care about is keeping the spirit of greatness alive. That is getting tougher to do.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Betrayal

2023-02-28T16:43:00Z

One of the worst things in life is being betrayed. And most Americans have experienced that—people we trusted violating our trust.

Some take it in stride. Others are deeply affected. Betrayal has damaged countless lives throughout the ages. There is a reason Judas Iscariot has a prominent place in the New Testament. Jesus was clear as he told the traitor it would be better if he had not been born.

Today, every single American is being betrayed by politicians and media that consistently mislead. In my estimation, the Biden Administration is as bad as the Nixon Administration was in the deceit department. Just the President and Vice-President's recent statements on the economy alone are stunning examples of blatant falsehoods.

Add to that the corporate media that covers for Mr. Biden's deceit and the news agencies that falsely reported the election results of 2020, and you have a nation besieged by lies.

This is the truth; there's no denying it. Yet millions of Americans approve of Joe Biden's job performance and continue to watch and read crooked, corrupt media.

Why?

I can't fully explain it. Yes, ideology can poison the mind, and many of us simply believe what we want to believe, but surely there must be a deceit limit.

Or maybe not.

See you tonight for the No Spin News, where deceit does not exist.

Winter Break

2023-02-27T14:51:00Z

It is "winter break" in some places around the country, and the urchins have a week off from school. These vacation names change from state to state but rarely do you hear Christmas or Easter breaks any longer. Can't have that. Someone may be offended by the religious description. Soon we'll have a "Diversity Break."

Anyway, I drifted down to Palm Beach, Florida, over the weekend for some out of the annoying cold time. I happened by the Eau Hotel and Spa. Nice place, right on the ocean. Room with a "resort view" $1,500 a night. A resort view means you don't see the water from your window. You might see small lizards who apparently get sizable lodging discounts.

The place was packed.

Drinks flowed, folks frolicked in the pools and on the beach, and spa service was booked solid.

This is America at leisure.

Well, a small part of America.

The truth is most families cannot afford to go to the Eau. This wasn't a big deal in the past; working folks accepted their affluent fellow citizens without rancor.

But that has changed. Thanks to the progressive left's policy of resentment, the economic divisions among Americans are being exploited for political gain. No longer is the message "you, too, can hit it big." Now the radical left wants to punish the most fortunate, and many voters are down with that.

Of course, this is divisive and morally wrong (envy). But, like Covid, it's a contagion. And there is no break from it.

See you tonight for the No Spin News!

Media Madness

2023-02-24T17:07:00Z

Strange times. Crazy storylines almost every week. The latest madness is Fox News guy Tucker Carlson being given January 6 Capitol surveillance video by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.

That's a coup for Mr. Carlson, and it will be interesting to see what he plays on the air. Speaker McCarthy is now in charge of Capitol security, so I guess he has the legal right to handle the tapes anyway he wants.

Enter Mike Lindell, the My Pillow creator, who doesn't see it that way. He said on Steve Bannon's podcast that he plans to sue Kevin McCarthy for not giving him the tapes. Lindell says his media operation, whatever that is, has been damaged by not having access to the video.

Yes, this is bizarre, and the lawsuit, if filed, will be dismissed faster than you can say, "so why would Mike Lindell bother."

Ah, publicity, maybe?

Again, media madness is hovering over the entire country, and this is just another example of insanity on display. In the end, the story will mean nothing. However, another loopy situation will quickly follow.

We are indeed enduring "Strange Days," as the Doors once proclaimed. And it will get stranger. By the way, for just a limited time, Mike is taking 50 percent off his sheets made from Egyptian cotton.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Why the Media is Ignoring Trump

2023-02-23T16:31:00Z

On Wednesday, Donald Trump visited East Palestine, Ohio, the site of that toxic train wreck. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News did not cover the former president's speech live as they certainly would have in the past, particularly FNC.

But the times, they have changed. Mr. Trump has few media allies these days, and his ratings power has diminished somewhat. But the real reason there was scant coverage is that corporate media does not want another Trump presidency.

So, the most flamboyant politician in modern times is being iced. His free media juggernaut almost completely sidelined.

That will hurt the Trump campaign. The massive media exposure he received in 2016, and '20 certainly made him the man who could not be ignored. Now, the national media wants to ignore him into oblivion.

What the corporations should do is be upfront; tell the folks exactly why Donald Trump is not deserving of attention the way he once was. Be honest about it.

However, the words "honest" and "media" are now so far apart I fear the gulf will be there forever. It's a "see no evil" thing.

Because, to the corporations who run TV News, Donald Trump is certainly evil.

More on this tonight, as the No Spin News will lead with the story.

Ash Wednesday

2023-02-22T08:00:00Z

"You are dust." That's the theme of Ash Wednesday, the Christian season of atonement, which begins this week. "And to dust you shall return."

As a Russian Orthodox Christian, I wonder what Putin thinks of the dust scenario. He is directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of dead human beings. Does he believe that will please the god in whom he professes to believe?

How about President Biden? He's an ardent Roman Catholic who knows protecting life is a most important theological component. Yet, he promotes abortion with no limits, paid for by taxpayers who are morally opposed to the destructive procedure.

Does Joe Biden think the god he worships will be accepting of that?

I can't answer those questions, and I am commanded by my faith not to judge others. I cannot cast that kind of stone.

But I can raise questions and speak in general terms. Human beings who destroy lives will pay a price. I do believe that. And I don't expect most of the life-deniers to ever admit their circumstance. They always have a rationalization.

Based on my life experience, I think most people really don't believe in anything after the dust part kicks in. How could they embrace evil or look the other way?

Questions to ponder as another 40 days of introspection are upon us.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

It's Over for Pete Buttigieg

2023-02-21T15:30:00Z

Say goodbye to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as a national politician. The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has totally botched his appointed position in a vivid way.

Is there any excuse why Buttigieg has not visited East Palestine, Ohio? He doesn't seem to care very much about the toxic train wreck that has created chaos in the lives of thousands of regular folks.

I mean, this is incomprehensible. Does Pete have more pressing engagements? He can't go out there to answer sincere questions from suffering people? Crazy.

Pete Buttigieg ran for president, got nowhere, and then joined Kamala Harris as affirmative action hires by President Biden. Was merit involved in bringing him into the administration? Absolutely not. He's gay, so he got the job.

The country's pressing airline problems are being essentially ignored by Buttigieg, who keeps saying he'll crack down on fraudulent scheduling and passenger abuse but never does.

The man is a disaster. And I say that based on his performance, not anything else.

This is what happens when you hire based on political correctness. We need skilled administrators to protect us when bad things happen - not frightened, inexperienced bureaucrats.

So it's over for Pete as it should be. He now joins Kamala as a ghost person. We know they're around, but we rarely see them in action.

I'll see you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Lawsuit Against Fox News

2023-02-20T14:50:00Z

The billion-dollar lawsuit the Dominion voting machine company has filed against Fox News is far more complicated than the corporate media is reporting. Last week, Dominion put out its allegations in damning form but always remember, accusations must be cross-examined to have any validity. The press ignores that truism entirely in pursuit of money.

The case hinges on fallacious opinions that said the presidential election of 2020 was fraudulent. Are those opinions defamatory? That's a high standard for the media, which embraced the phony Russian collusion situation and ran wild with the theory that President Trump directly caused the crimes on January 6, 2021.

In both cases, most of the corporate media wrote and broadcast opinions that lacked evidence and, finally, were proved to be wrong.

Donald Trump has been badly damaged by the misreporting but would lose if he sued because he couldn't prove "actual malice," a legal standard.

The Fox News defense is similar. It puts forth that it broadcasted false opinions because that's what its audience wanted to hear. It's not about malice, FNC lawyers say; it's about free expression, even if it's not based on facts. No malice was involved.

The trial is set to begin in April, but Fox News has already lost in the court of public opinion, which stands no matter what the final verdict is. FNC did not operate in an honest way; that is clear.

The fallout here will change the media landscape in America. I will have more about that on the No Spin News tonight. See you beginning at six eastern.

Don Lemon Drama

2023-02-17T14:47:00Z

UPDATE:

Because the Don Lemon situation is rapidly getting out of control, I am posting my Sunday column on Friday to give the story some context.

I don't know Lemon, ran into him once, and he was fine. So, I can't bring a personal perspective about him.

However, I can explain the big-picture danger to the country here. So, I hope you will read the column and let me know what you think. Bill@BillOReilly.com

---

The internet trolls are after Don Lemon. Not sure why, as he checks all the progressive boxes; liberal, black, gay. If that's not a ticket to ride in today's America, nothing is. But Lemon is getting hammered on the net and by The New York Post.

His employer CNN is trying to develop a morning program starring Lemon, Poppy Harlow, and Kaitlin Collins. The three are off to a slow start in the ratings because the competition is fierce. There are three network morning programs as well as established broadcasts on Fox News and MSNBC. A new show up against that has little chance.

According to the internet, the two ladies working with Don Lemon don't like him. So, social media sadists are pouncing.

On Thursday night, there was a headline that said Ms. Harlow and Ms. Collins "stormed off the set" because they were horrified by Lemon's analysis of Nikki Haley. I guess it's possible they were appalled, but that's not the reason they left. They had to use the restroom. It's a long shift. There's coffee.

The point is that Don Lemon is now a target, and dishonest people want to hurt him. But here's what's worse: there's absolutely nothing Lemon can do about it. Social media is deeply polluted by gutter snipes, defamers, and flat-out evil people. They have found their clubhouse.

As one who has been attacked, I know a simple truth: you have to fight - you can't give in emotionally. That's what these revolting trolls want. We'll see if Mr. Lemon can tough it out.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Tragedy at Michigan State

2023-02-16T15:27:00Z

Three young people are dead after yet another "mass shooting" - this one at Michigan State University.

As usual, left-wing politicians want to crack down on guns but not the criminals who shoot them. Far-left Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is demanding "more gun control" even as she knows the killer, who committed suicide, was allowed to walk free by a progressive prosecutor whom Whitmer supported.

Here's the situation. In 2019, Anthony McRae was arrested for illegally carrying a handgun. Instead of being charged with a felony, soft-on-crime DA Carol Siemon, a favorite of George Soros, dismissed the felony charge - which carries a five-year prison term - and accepted a misdemeanor plea.

The criminal McRae walked, receiving 12 months probation. If Siemon had done her elected job, McRae would still be in prison, and the three young people would be alive.

Despite that, the progressive left continues to push soft on crime policies as the body count mounts.

This brutal situation has been going on for far too long. Reasonable gun restrictions, yes, but violent crime will never improve unless the criminals themselves are held to account.

See you later for the No Spin News.

New Witch Hunts

2023-02-15T14:49:00Z

Working hard on my next book "Killing the Witches: The Horror of Salem, Massachusetts," and just this week, both Roseanne Barr and J. K. Rowling, the Harry Potter author, referenced "witch hunts."

So did former President Trump while speaking about the January 6th situation.

Ms. Barr lost her ABC show after crudely attacking Valerie Jarrett, advisor to President Obama. After that, Roseanne could not find work for years.

Ms. Rowling made some comments about traditional gender being important that angered the trans mob and its woke supporters. Unlike Roseanne, the author's contract remained, and book sales did not plummet. However, she was viciously attacked on social media and ostracized in many quarters.

Today's witch hunt scenario is engineered almost exclusively by leftist zealots who live for virtue-signaling. They use the threat of banishment to destroy speech they don't like.

Roseanne Barr made a major mistake, for which she apologized. In spite of that, the woke movement has handed down a life sentence.

While current fascist behavior by the left is far short of the actual murder that took place in Salem, it is still cruel and unusual punishment engineered by people who likely have done heinous things themselves.

But the "cast the first stone" crew remains undaunted, a brutal force for bad.

Few have the courage to take them on.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Respect for America

2023-02-15T02:00:00Z

Kari Lake, recently defeated for the Arizona governor's job, was at the Super Bowl in Phoenix but did not stand for the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing."

Written in 1900 by NAACP chief James Weldon Johnson, it is considered by some to be the "Black national anthem."

Sheryl Lee Ralph performed the song about 25 minutes before kickoff, and I did stand. Most in the crowd were also up but not all. There is no protocol to stand during the song; it's an individual decision, just like "America the Beautiful," which was sung after Ms. Ralph left the field.

Ms. Lake and some other conservatives believe there should be only one National Anthem, and the Lift Up song is divisive. They are, of course, entitled to that opinion and should not be defamed as racist as some progressives are doing.

But I see it this way: 70 percent of NFL players are African-American, so the song is a signal of respect for them. Easy one for me. Respect, empathy, and context are important in a civil society.

Judeo-Christian philosophy, the foundation of this nation, clearly says you are compelled to treat other people the way you want to be treated. Respect is the cornerstone of that.

Ten minutes before the game started, country singer Chris Stapleton sang a terrific rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner." Everyone in the stadium stood.

Respect for the country was on display. An important moment in this divided nation.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Super Showdown

2023-02-13T15:51:00Z

Very entertaining game in Phoenix. Maricopa County did an excellent job the entire weekend. Even the Eagles fans behaved, and Philadelphia would have won if not for the KC quarterback being a genius on the field. Second time I've seen Patrick Mahomes bring his team back to win the Super Bowl.

Off today for travel, but Tuesday I'll have a full report on the spectacle. Conversations with Speaker McCarthy, Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, and Shaquille O'Neal, among others.

Hope you read my column on the Super Bowl and capitalism. See you Tuesday evening.

Super Bowl Sunday

2023-02-10T08:00:00Z

Off to Arizona for the Super Bowl. I will be tweeting throughout the weekend (@BillOReilly). The extravaganza is far more than a football game. It's the most vivid example of capitalism on the planet.

Yes, I have been there, done that (terrible cliche). But this time, I am going to see if anything has changed in the fat cat world. All kinds of wealthy, powerful folks will be parading around Phoenix.

Through social media, I will take you with me, texting whenever something interesting happens. Should be fun and entertaining, hope a Chinese balloon doesn't interrupt the game.

New column Sunday noon. Thanks for accessing BillOReilly.com. File this one under "Team Normal" goes to the big game.

Biden vs. Huckabee Sanders

2023-02-09T16:42:00Z

The contrast between President Biden and Governor Huckabee Sanders is something patriotic Americans (meaning those who actually care about their country) should study.

Both gave political speeches to the nation this week, but there was no common ground at all.

Mr. Biden believes his economic stewardship is benefiting the folks, the Governor does not. Polling sides with the lady from Arkansas, but that doesn't seem to matter to the President, who showed absolutely no empathy for those struggling to pay the bills in a time of damaging inflation.

Mr. Biden blames inflation on President Trump even though the rate was a minuscule 1.4 percent when he left office in 2021. Since then, inflation has brutalized the poor and middle classes.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders believes Joe Biden is being held captive by the far left, and there is ample evidence that is true. The President says he's a capitalist but then demands a "living wage" for workers, a phrase right out of the Marxist handbook.

And who would decide the "living wage"? Why the government would. So businesses would be given a salary spreadsheet of payments with little or no merit options.

That's socialism and would absolutely wreck small businesses and badly damage many corporations. Layoffs would be substantial.

No matter, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren demand it, so Biden complies.

Captives have to comply. Don't they?

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Biden's Speech

2023-02-08T16:45:00Z

President Biden had good energy Tuesday night but didn't say very much, although there were many, many words. The speech was standard issue Democratic Party. Lots of giveaway proposals, corporations are evil.

As usual, there were deceptions from the President. The biggest one is that he cut the deficit by $1.4 trillion. Ahem. In his first year, Biden ran up a record-breaking $2.8 trillion deficit. The second year the deficit fell to a still colossal $1.4 trillion. So he's a deficit cutter?

Sure.

The hits were rolled out in the usual fashion: pay your fair share, ban assault rifles, comprehensive immigration reform, and more abortion.

In the end, little was learned.

Honest analysis of the State of the Union continues on the No Spin News this evening.

Biden is Going Downhill

2023-02-07T15:34:00Z

A series of polls this week say most Americans, including a sizable number of Democrats, don't want President Biden to run for re-election.

That should not be a surprise as Mr. Biden is not really running this country, and voters see that. His advisers tell him what needs to be done, and Jill Biden sees that her husband complies.

To be fair, which we always are, you have to admire the message discipline the Biden people put out: no problem at the border, Trump, not Biden, is responsible for inflation, Afghanistan was a stunning success - as is the record-breaking federal spending the White House champions.

Also, there are very few leaks coming out. Joe and Jill are not being exposed by insiders. You'll remember Donald Trump couldn't hire enough plumbers to even slow down the harmful leaks.

The primary problem the president and his party has is a perception of weakness and incompetence. Trump may be bombastic and childish at times, but he isn't weak.

The United States is not an easy place in which to live these days. There's violence, corruption, and eroding spending power for the folks. Even those who avoid paying attention to their country know things are not under control.

The situation will not improve under Joe Biden, who's going downhill faster than Lindsay Vonn. The folks are wising up to an old adage: You can't teach an old dog well ... anything.

Special analysis right after State of the Union tonight.

Chinese Spy Balloon

2023-02-06T15:29:00Z

Hot air continues to fly over the Chinese spy balloon; may it rest in pieces. As soon as the story broke, the nitwits who could not care less about responsible perspective began the chant: shoot it down, shoot it down.

That turned out to be the right call, although a number of things had to happen before the short-range missile flew.

Number one was informing the Chinese government that U.S. airspace had been violated. Then, asking for an explanation. Then, informing the Chinese Ambassador in Washington that the explanation was ridiculous (civilian aircraft).

After those steps and the balloon drifting out to the Atlantic, the shoot-down occurred.

But wait. It seems American intel picked up the balloon over Alaska days ago, and the Biden administration kept it quiet until it hovered over Montana looking for vacation property. That's true. So why the delay?

Because President Biden is not the "decider," as Bush the Younger once described the President's job. He is a frontman who does what his advisers tell him to do. And this balloon thing involved a bellicose country armed to the teeth with nukes. So, caution was appropriate. But as public outrage grew, the Biden crew had to act.

All Americans should understand how weak Mr. Biden is and that top-level decisions come from insider consensus, not the Commander-in-Chief. The Chinese and Putin surely know that.

This balloon thing will most likely subside without any payback, as it's not that important to the communists.

What will not subside is the chaos of the Biden administration.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Young Adults in America

2023-02-03T17:25:00Z

Even many violent crimes go unpunished as progressive relativism sweeps across our once-traditional nation.

Immature minds can't possibly put the social changes in perspective, so many Americans are simply adrift; easy targets for the propaganda crews.

Parents are the last line of defense, and we all know about the frightening breakdown of the family unit, especially in poor communities.

It's a bleak landscape with little leadership to counter destructive social trends. I'm very glad I'm not a young guy today.

Enjoy the weekend. New column on Sunday.

Curriculum Controversy

2023-02-02T15:36:00Z

Here's what this "Black studies" controversy is all about. Governor DeSantis, the White guy, is worried that these courses will present material to Florida students that are based on opinion, not facts.

The very well-publicized "1619 Project," touted by The New York Times, is a great example. Here we have a so-called historian putting forth that America was developed with slavery being the motivating force everywhere.

Balderdash is too mild a word.

At this moment, I am writing a book called "Killing the Witches," which explores the true origin of our nation's founding. From the very beginning in Plymouth, it was religion, not slavery, that established the expanding colonies. And it was harsh religion.

So, DeSantis and others fear that school courses involving race would largely become propaganda designed to mislead students about the true nature of their country.

This is a valid fear.

Traditional historians like me would never be hired to teach black studies. It would likely be activism in the classroom, not instruction. And what about students who dissent from the activist narrative? What happens to them?

Any "diversity or race-targeted" mandatory state school courses should be rigorously thought out, so historical balance is present. This isn't communist China here.

In school, facts, not indoctrination, should be mandatory in every school funded by the taxpayer.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Attacks on Donald Trump

2023-02-01T15:37:00Z

Have you noticed the attacks on Donald Trump have increased recently? There are three different campaigns to take the former president out. The first is New York State which is desperately trying to pin a criminal rap on Trump and is leaking all kinds of anti-Trump stuff.

The second is in Georgia, where a preposterous investigation alleges that somehow Mr. Trump "interfered" in that state's voting process.

And the third is the corporate media which continues to spew out every allegation unchallenged. Now that Fox News has largely abandoned the former president; he fights the press pretty much alone.

There is some urgency here on the left. Consumer spending actually fell in December, the Christmas season, and American buyers will dictate whether a recession happens this year. If it does, say goodbye to the Democratic Party in 2024, no matter who runs for the GOP.

Add to that food inflation at ten percent year-to-year, gas prices on the rise again, and the Biden administration sinks further into the abyss.

Donald Trump leads in some early Republican polls, so he presents a clear and present danger to the left, which is why Stormy Daniels suddenly reappeared this week.

It's a nasty game, of course, and diminishes our country. Want to knock Trump out of politics, lefties? Do it on policy.

If you can.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Baby Boomers

2023-01-31T15:40:00Z

Aging is part of the "journey," boomer Dr. Phil might say, which is why I don't listen to him. I want reality, not wisdom from a fortune cookie.

The great spa in the sky.

See you for the No Spin News tonight, beginning at six eastern.

Unnecessary Killing in Memphis

2023-01-30T15:37:00Z

It is inconceivable to me that five police officers in Memphis would kill an unarmed man during a traffic stop. Rational thinkers have no explanation—a 29-year-old with no criminal record beaten to death.

The officers had to know the situation was spiraling out of control. They should have called for backup if they needed assistance detaining the man. How could they do this knowing what happened to the police officers in the death of George Floyd?

So now six lives are ruined; the victim and the five cops who will be incarcerated for decades. And for what? That's what I can't understand. The police had the man's car; they knew who he was. If need be, you let him flee and arrest him later. You don't beat him.

Every sane person knows this.

I'll analyze this terrible situation tonight on the No Spin News without all the virtue signaling that many news operations live for now. The unnecessary killing in Memphis hurts every single American.

See you beginning at six eastern.

The Downfall of the Oscars

2023-01-27T16:36:00Z

You may have noticed that the Academy Award nominations were announced this week.

It is also notable that few cared.

That's really too bad because one of America's great cultural contributions to the world is our film industry.

Well, it used to be, anyway.

Gone are the days of the glamorous movie star and incredible films. Today we have superheroes blowing stuff up and dinosaurs rampaging through San Diego - frightening everybody except the homeless who are not moving from the Gaslight District, no matter what.

The televised Oscar show will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who'd better watch himself, or an audience member might pull a Will Smith.

Kimmel is your essential wise guy, but he understands the woke world in which he lives. As Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young once sang: "Step out of line, and they'll come to take you away."

Anyway, few care about politically correct Hollywood these days. Don't believe me? Okay, what was the best picture last year?

It was CODA. Didn't see it. But I'm sure it was woke.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

The Case Against Biden

2023-01-26T16:56:00Z

Last night I appeared on NewsNation's "CUOMO" program for my weekly debate with Chris Cuomo.

I expressed my concern to the host that I had Biden Derangement Syndrome and made my case as to why the President could be one of the two worst leaders in this country's history.

Watch the segment above.

Biden Has Done Nothing

2023-01-25T14:52:00Z

According to an Emerson poll, 58 percent of Democrats would very much like Joe Biden to be president through 2028. Yes, the Emerson poll is often wrong, but I think it's safe to say a majority of left-wing Americans like the job the President is doing.

That means they approve of the open southern border, a record amount of narcotics being smuggled through that border, food prices up ten percent on Biden's watch, the embarrassing exit from Afghanistan, a man who has "no regrets" that he stashed classified documents in his garage, and on and on.

All good, as the cliche goes. No worries.

It is true that Joe Biden has anxiety under control because he simply doesn't care about solving problems. He says the border is secure, and that's that. Meanwhile, the six million foreign nationals who have come across the border since Joe's been in office wonder what an unsecured border would look like - if Biden's statement is true, which it is not.

Most presidents in my lifetime at least tried to fake it. Jimmy Carter attempted a military operation to rescue Americans being held hostage by Iran. Bill Clinton signed a law that forced welfare recipients to try to find work. Donald Trump revitalized a depressed military.

So, what's Joe Biden's big win?

Nothing, that's what.

Yet millions of Americans are down with nothing. They approve of chaos and failure. They embrace the political abyss, the art of presidential apathy.

I don't know these people, maybe you do. My liberal friends are all running for cover. They know nothing when they see it.

It's the opposite of success.

Countering Delusion

2023-01-24T15:06:00Z

Received a significant reaction to my column on BillOReilly.com, copping to a malady I have: Biden Derangement Syndrome or BDS.

I do not want this condition. In fact, I mocked Americans who displayed Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now, I'm in the same place. Not a good place.

I have always tried to be fair in my news analysis, even when I'm dealing with folks who see things differently than I do. I hear their arguments and try to put forth better arguments. That's what I do.

But President Biden doesn't even try to defend his policies. He simply says the border is secure. Well, it's not, so he's delusional. How can you counter delusional?

A few days ago, Mr. Biden stated that he has no "regrets" about taking classified documents he should not have taken.

No sorry. No explanation. Nothing.

Hard to analyze nothing.

The guy is getting to me. It's not healthy. It's what the Trump haters do.

But I don't hate Biden. I very much dislike the damage he's doing to the country. I would like to convince him that out-of-control spending, open borders, unfair equity policies, and violent crime are all problems he should be addressing. But he's not, and I can't make him.

That's why I have BDS. Somebody develop a vax!

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Justice No Longer Exists

2023-01-23T14:51:00Z

Over the weekend, I watched the 1961 movie "Judgment at Nuremberg," a brilliant film with a powerful message for today's America.

Spencer Tracy stars as an American judge heading a tribunal hearing evidence against four Nazi judges. Tracy is under enormous pressure to give light sentences to the Germans, each of whom allowed crimes against humanity.

Their defense was that they were operating under the law imposed by the Third Reich - they had no choice.

The Nazis are sentenced to life, and Tracy explains the dignity of the decision by defining what true justice really is. It's supposed to ignore politics and favoritism. The mandate is the punishment must fit the crime. Rationalizations are no excuse for hurting people.

Today in our country, the justice system is falling apart. We routinely see prosecutors fail to protect us from guilty criminals. We are witnessing a politicized FBI and Attorney General. Honest outcomes in criminal courts are increasingly in doubt as guilty people often walk free.

The same is true in civil court, where legions of dishonest lawyers try to destroy people for money. Rarely are these defamers and perjury accommodators sanctioned by a legal system that looks the other way.

Many Americans now believe justice no longer exists in our corrupted system.

This is an incredibly serious problem. If criminals go unpunished, if liars control civil disputes, if the federal government will not operate under the banner of "equal justice for all," including victims, then anarchy will emerge.

In some places, it's already here.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Family Inheritance

2023-01-20T14:53:00Z

Forty-seven years ago, I secured my first reporter job in Scranton, Pennsylvania. My task at WNEP-TV was to be a consumer advocate and find stories that would help regular folks.

The station was family owned and didn't have much money, so I had to work a lot of overtime in order to afford room and board. Therefore, I filled in doing the weather (absolute disaster) and wrote gag lines for the Saturday night monster movie program "Uncle Ted's Ghoul School."

I was good at that even though Uncle Ted, very fond of scotch, often screwed up my comedic brilliance.

Anyway, you don't get a more humble beginning than that career-wise. And while I wasn't thrilled with the circumstance, I worked hard, and nine months later, I landed a job in Dallas - a big-time market.

Recently, singer and diet maven Marie Osmond went public saying she would not leave her children a cash inheritance. Marie says they need to earn their own way, and she'll spend the money on herself.

I see it differently. The world back in 1976, when I toiled in Scranton, was a far different place than it is today. Yes, I want my children to succeed on their own as I did, and I have prepared them to do that. But America is a difficult place these days, and it is my job as a father to provide my kids a safety net in case things go south for them.

Sadly, treachery and narcissism are rampant in America, and protections are few. You can still prosper and achieve happiness but it's much more difficult now compared to 1976.

So, my protection will extend to my children and others after I'm gone. It's the right thing to do. I hope Marie reads this message and reconsiders.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday at noon.

Biden's Useless Schedule

2023-01-19T15:38:00Z

Yesterday, President Biden had nothing on his schedule. I guess he was exhausted from palling around with the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday - his primary event that day.

Daily, the White House issues a calendar of events to the public that I mention on the No Spin News. Usually, there are meetings of importance. At least, it used to be that way. However, since Joe Biden has been in office, the schedule has looked extremely light. Plenty of nap time.

The President is going to California to see the moisture situation there, so I guess he had to rest up. Walking and pointing to flood damage can be debilitating. But why is that trip necessary? Everyone knows the Golden State is getting hammered, and the feds will send billions in relief money.

Mr. Biden would serve the public better if he'd solve some problems. Border, growing crime, and mass layoffs are beginning to happen. Talking about layups with the Warriors is fine and all, but taking a day off after is questionable.

The worst thing is there's nothing to be done. More than 80 million Americans voted for Joe, the leisure king.

And now we don't have to worry about the old adage: "all work and no play make Joe a dull boy."

Do we?

Following up on the No Spin News' reporting on Mexico and President Biden's failure to help end the suffering on the southern border, I appeared on NewsNation's "CUOMO" last night.

The video is above. Please check it out.

See you for the No Spin News tonight.

The Horrific Reality at the Border

2023-01-18T14:51:00Z

There is heartbreaking video showing three sisters, ages seven, five, and three, being rescued by Mexican authorities on the southern banks of the Rio Grande River. The girls are crying—no adults in sight.

Thousands of unaccompanied minors have been caught up in President Biden's insane, lax border policy. Migrants are attracted to the border because they believe they can easily enter the USA and have absolutely no control over their destinies. Some make it here; some die in the attempt. The Mexican cartels do whatever they want to these defenseless people.

President Biden and the Democratic Party look away, failing to even address this enormous human rights danger they, themselves, have caused. Millions of people are at risk, not to mention Americans who are getting hurt by uncontrolled immigration.

Yet Biden does nothing. He fiddles while abandoned children cry in the bush.

This is horrific and should spell the end of Biden's credibility and the progressive movement which demands open borders. But it won't because the corrupt press remains invested in the President and his far-left masters. The corporations that control what we see on television also have no interest in saving children by exposing Biden's massive incompetence.

It is almost impossible to digest all this.

But it's happening, and as long as Biden is President, it will continue to happen.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Disliking Biden

2023-01-17T14:50:00Z

On the No Spin News last night, I said that I am starting to dislike President Biden personally. That hasn't happened in my career. Every President in my lifetime has made mistakes, but they didn't cause me to dislike them as people.

Mr. Biden is the exception.

In a speech marking the King federal holiday, the President basically said that America continues to hose blacks and that he, Joe Biden, will triumph by putting an end to systemic racism and voter "suppression."

As we know, the midterm election saw a record turnout.

Biden is essentially casting himself as a savior to African-Americans who really need to be saved from him. The President has done all he can to create an entitlement class based on perceived grievance while allowing hard drugs to stream into this country through the open southern border. Urban blacks are deeply and negatively affected by that.

Biden's rhetoric is divisive, largely untruthful, and brutally unfair to a country that provides more opportunity than any other.

So, I don't much like this distorter of truth whose civil rights voting record in the senate is sketchy to say the least. I think the President is hurting all of us by exploiting race for political gain.

I guess I could be misguided, but I don't think so.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Honoring Martin Luther King Jr.

2023-01-16T14:45:00Z

A recent poll, unreliable as many are, says the majority of Republican voters believe the Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday should not exist.

Historically, Dr. King is certainly deserving of that honor as his influence forced the white power structure in the early 1960s to enforce the law and allow African-Americans opportunities they were being denied.

Reverend King did that non-violently and avoided acrimony even though the abuses against him personally were horrific.

So, why wouldn't "the land of opportunity" honor Dr. King?

I believe if he was alive today, he would be greatly saddened by the disintegration of the black family structure and the high crime rate that absent fathers cause.

Also, I don't think the martyr would approve of the crude culture younger blacks, as well as whites, embrace.

I guess I could be wrong in projecting Dr. King's opinions, but after researching him thoroughly for my book "Killing Kennedy," I don't think so.

See you this evening for the No Spin News. No holiday for us - too much going on.

Deflection

2023-01-13T14:48:00Z

It's safe to say the liberal media does not know how to handle the Biden-document situation and the White House stone wall. At this point, it has been established that the Biden administration knew about the misplaced classified paper but kept it quiet for more than two months.

Pretty hard to explain or excuse that.

But as usual, Donald Trump is injected into the controversy to divert attention away from Mr. Biden. It isn't working, but the corrupt media is trying.

As for us, we report fairly. Both Biden and Trump removed documents they shouldn't have. And both had no idea that was happening because their respective offices were packed up by others. These men don't have the concentration power to read through government documents. Nor the will.

So, in the end, little will come out of this - Special Prosecutors will root around for a while, spending the taxpayer's money. Indictments? Don't think so.

And one other thing. This is the first of many legal problems for President Biden this year. Wait and see.

New column Sunday at noon.

Trump, Biden & Classified Documents

2023-01-12T15:21:00Z

During my appearance on NewsNation's "CUOMO" last night, we debated President Biden's classified document controversy, comparing it to Donald Trump's.

I also addressed whether or not Trump deserved all the criticism he's had to endure over the years and if George Santos will last in Congress.

Watch the video above.

Living Healthy

2023-01-11T16:16:00Z

Getting some mail from people thanking me for "Smart Life" eating tips. The sad truth is most Americans are slowly killing themselves with a terrible diet, the danger largely hidden from them because the junk food industry is using ad dollars to co-opt the media.

So let's review. Sugar is as harmful as nicotine and addictive as well. Try eating just one Oreo. If you can cut your sugar intake by 50 percent, you will feel better and have a much better chance of avoiding painful diseases. No debate. That's the truth.

Sugar-laden drinks are the primary driver of obesity in this country, along with fast food and pizza. In today's market, there are tons of low-sugar drinks that taste good. And stay out of those drive-through windows.

Also, avoid diet drinks; they are terrible for you.

Bread turns to sugar upon digestion. Exception: sourdough. And it tastes good. Check it out.

Don't eat a big meal after six. That will add pounds fast.

Finally, snacks. My go-to is cashews. A few fill me up - no sugar. Apple slices are good. Some sugar but healthier than oranges. There are low-sugar snacks that taste okay.

I still eat dessert a few times a week but discipline my intake. If you drink a glass of water before a meal, you won't eat as heavily.

We very much want you around and nimble as you get older. Hope these tips help.

See you later for the No Spin News.

Biden Doesn't Care

2023-01-10T15:39:00Z

CNN reports that during President Biden's visit to El Paso, he avoided actually talking with the migrants currently living in that beleaguered city.

The White House says Mr. Biden did not have the opportunity, but CNN says that's bull - more than a thousand undocumented people were in proximity to the President.

The hard truth is that Joe Biden interacting with the foreign nationals he is allowing into the USA in violation of federal immigration law would be a bad look for him. So his "handlers" kept the President away from the damage he, himself, is doing.

Joe Biden doesn't care about migrants. If he did, he would order discipline and accountability on the southern border. He would also demand what Donald Trump demanded: that the Mexican military stop the immigrants from crossing the border with Guatemala.

Mr. Biden is in Mexico City and could easily negotiate this with Obrador, the Mexican president.

He won't.

Why? Because he truly doesn't care.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

A Predictable Fiasco

2023-01-09T14:51:00Z

President Biden's three-hour visit to the southern border was a predictable fiasco. First, local El Paso authorities removed migrants who were camping out in public spaces, then the Governor of Texas gave Mr. Biden a letter saying that his visit was "$20 billion too little and two years too late."

Border Patrol union officials also excoriated the President for failing to enforce immigration law leading to mass suffering and death.

Biden, himself, went through the motions but couldn't wait to get out of there. He had nothing meaningful to say as the disaster pretty much speaks for itself. In a country where citizens cared about problem-solving and respect for the law, the President would be under intense scrutiny.

Unfortunately, America is no longer that kind of country. Don't even ask about the corrupt corporate media, true partners in crime, so to speak, with the President and the Democratic Party.

At this inauguration two years ago, Joe Biden took an oath to "uphold the laws of the United States." He obviously has not done that as far as immigration goes.

That's grounds for impeachment, far more than some dumb call to the Ukrainian president that Donald Trump made.

But, again, we are a nation of laws no longer. Today, we're a country without conviction or justice.

The USA desperately needs a course correction.

More on the No Spin News this evening.

Biden's Too Late Trip

2023-01-06T16:54:00Z

President Biden's trip to El Paso on Sunday is a fool's errand. Everyone knows that his border policies are a disaster bringing suffering and death to the poor who are desperately trying to enter the USA because they think our immigration laws are no longer being enforced.

Which is true.

Now Mr. Biden says he's ordering migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua to be immediately deported. But others, about six million on his watch, can stay.

The tragic truth is that the President has no idea what he's doing on immigration and many other problems. We are witnessing incredible incompetence.

That's a fact, and Joe Biden's too-late visit to the border spotlights that fact. More than 80 million voters supported Biden in 2020. How many have buyers remorse?

Hope you can relax this weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Biden Creates Problems

2023-01-05T14:50:00Z

Most Americans distrust the federal government, and that arc is descending. The House chaos is temporary, but the awful performance of our elected officials is not.

The most frustrating aspect of this terrible situation is there isn't much the individual can do - except suffer. However, electing Joe Biden president is on the folks, it was a disastrous decision because Biden cannot solve problems that a president is supposed to do.

In fact, Biden creates problems: inflation, the border, and woke madness. Joe contributes to all of those as the country slides deeper into a morass.

Tonight on the No Spin News, we'll bring tough analysis to a man who says he can fix America: Donald Trump.

Does he even have a chance of being re-elected president? See you at six eastern.

The House Brawl

2023-01-04T14:48:00Z

The House brawl over Kevin McCarthy becoming Speaker shows one irrefutable thing; Democrats are much more united than Republicans.

That's important, as we saw in the midterm election. Somehow, the progressive wing of the Dem movement has overwhelmed the moderates in that party as they consistently go along with the far-left agenda.

Not so in the GOP, where there is dissent. The committed far right doesn't like McCarthy and is sabotaging his ascension to power. How that plays out remains a mystery.

Congress should be a place where representatives vote their conscience. But money has corrupted that important concept. Congresspeople run every two years, and they need party cash. That's what wiped out "moderate democrats."

Not sure how the anti-McCarthy thing will play out. Will cover it aggressively tonight on the No Spin News.

First Message of 2023

2023-01-03T15:13:00Z

Here is the first message of 2023, and I wish it could be more hopeful. But it can't because the problems we had last year have not been fixed, so they are hanging around. I'm talking about an open season for migrant crossings, the failure to stop deadly narcotics being smuggled from Mexico, high prices for working people, plenty of crime but little punishment, etc.

To be fair, gas prices have declined, but the airline industry has collapsed, so transport is a wash.

The reason vexing problems do not get solved is poor leadership. President Biden is one of the weakest chief executives in history. Vice President Harris is weaker than Biden. The entire cabinet is incompetent, led by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. It's scary.

We've seen this feature film before. President Martin van Buren aka the "Little Magician," disappeared during an economic panic on his watch.

James Buchanan ignored the growing anti-Union violence in the south, enabling the Civil War.

Herbert Hoover sat around theorizing while millions of Americans starved after the stock market crash of 1929.

Now we have a ten-hour work week from Joe Biden, who can't wait to depart for Delaware, where there are few migrants.

Biden is not going to get any better. He is befuddled and lazy. So that's what we're looking at in '23.

Sorry to paint this painful picture, but it's my job.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Why I Go on NewsNation's 'CUOMO'

2023-01-02T15:40:00Z

In the latter part of last year, I started appearing on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation show. I get a lot of flack for this, but I do it for two reasons.

One, I want people to see what BillOReilly.com and the No Spin News are all about. People who don't normally watch. Two, I love to debate.

It's worth checking out.

Living the Smart Life

2022-12-30T08:00:00Z

Our Smart Life segment is designed to help you save money and navigate these tough times. The economy isn't making things easier.

For good advice, ideas to save money, here's a look at what we try to do to help you on the No Spin News.

Good Discussion

2022-12-29T08:00:00Z

This past year we had some of the best guests we've ever had on the No Spin News. Sen. Joseph Lieberman on election chaos, and Lou Dobbs on the economy, to name a couple of examples.

Watch as we showcase what makes the No Spin News the best program there is.

Joe Biden Gaffes

2022-12-28T15:30:00Z

I've tried to be fair to President Biden, but the man continues to make gaffe after gaffe, mistake after mistake.

Here's a look at this year's stumbles by the President and what I believe this says about the situation in the White House.

O'Reilly Reacts to SCOTUS Ruling on Title 42

2022-12-28T01:42:00Z

The Supreme Court is now running border security because President Biden will not. In a stunning rebuke of Biden policy, the Court ruled that Title 42 cannot be banished by the administration. So, the undocumented can be removed immediately on health grounds. Acute embarrassment for Joe Biden.

Best analysis on BillOReilly.com.

From Newt Gingrich to Kristi Noem

2022-12-27T15:03:00Z

One of the things we pride ourselves on with the No Spin News is our featured guests. The people on this show deliver insight, unseen anywhere else, on topics that are impacting you.

Discussing Joe Biden with Newt Gingrich and gun control with Gov. Kristi Noem. Those are just a couple of examples of why you're missing out if you don't watch the No Spin News.

Bill's 2022 In Radio

2022-12-26T15:13:00Z

Everything O'Reilly is available at BillOReilly.com, which includes my appearances with Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Sid Rosenberg on their respective radio shows.

It's never boring when we get together. Take a listen to some of my best segments of the year, which include an appearance by WABC's late great Bernard McGuirk.

Christmas Fun Facts!

2022-12-23T08:00:00Z

With Christmas the day after tomorrow, we take a closer look at the holiday as we've never seen it before.

In this special video, we go over where some Christmas traditions originated and how they've impacted America. Just another reason why you watch the No Spin News.

The Woke Disney Corporation

2022-12-22T15:25:00Z

Over the past year, we have seen the Disney corporation take their wokeness to a level unseen. This company is backing the indoctrination of young children, pushing the agenda of the progressive movement, and screaming inclusivity – yet, over the past 15 years, they’ve raised their prices by nearly 4,000%.

That doesn’t seem very inclusive to poor American families.

These are the stories and statistics we bring to you each night on the No Spin News - the stories that corporate media won’t cover accurately. But this impacts everyday Americans, so in the coming year, we will continue to bring you the best, honest analysis that you won’t get anywhere else.

O'Reilly Questions Cuomo: Why Doesn't Biden Care About the Border?

2022-12-21T16:00:00Z

Bill appears on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation show to discuss the lack of accountability for the Biden administration regarding the southern border.

Watch as Bill lays out the exact moment that Biden opened the flood gates at the border and destroyed the successful border policy implemented by Donald Trump.

Revenge Campaign

2022-12-20T15:20:00Z

Few Americans care about the ongoing revenge campaign against Donald Trump. Even those who despise the former president are tired of the never-ending accusations.

I know this because TV news ratings no longer spike when the "get Trump" stuff comes on. People have better things to do, apparently.

Right now, the hottest story is the Idaho college student murders. That overwhelms the political presentations.

It is fair to say that Donald Trump did not handle the January 6 Capitol riot well. Documented. He waited too long to call for his supporters to stand down.

Otherwise, the Trump haters on the House committee lived up to their reputation of being unfair and unbalanced. They went in trying to prove Trump guilty of anything .... not to fact-find.

Just another partisan exercise that will likely lead nowhere.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Border Foolishness

2022-12-19T14:51:00Z

On ABC yesterday, Correspondent Martha Raddatz grilled Governor Abbott of Texas about the border disaster. Ms. Raddatz, a liberal woman, said that President Biden has never said the border is open and heavily implied it was Abbott and other Republicans making a false charge; one that is encouraging illegal border crossings.

That analysis is almost breathtaking in its foolishness. From the very day of his inauguration, Mr. Biden has failed to obey US immigration law that requires asylum seekers to present themselves at Ports of Entry.

Instead, migrants who get across the border anywhere are being allowed entry to the USA simply to request "asylum."

I know Martha Raddatz, and she is a smart woman who has to know that. So, I can only assume that this is another case of "protect the President and his party," which ABC and the other corporate media are heavily invested in doing.

In less than two years under Biden, it is estimated that six million foreign nationals have illegally entered this country along with a record amount of deadly narcotics.

The Biden policy is scandalous and has led to death and suffering. Someone tell Martha Raddatz.

This will be our lead story tonight on the No Spin News.

Next Year's News

2022-12-16T14:50:00Z

Many, perhaps most, have tuned out the news as Christmas approaches. That's a sane approach because nothing much will happen until Republicans take control of the House in January.

Then I expect multiple investigations of Joe Biden, his hapless administration, and possible corruption in the FBI and social media.

This will be good for the country as long as Republicans go heavy on the evidence, and light on hysteria. Due process and fairness should rule these hearings, not innuendo, leaks, and partisan blather.

We are living in corrupt times, and the bad guys and gals need to be exposed. But, please, no more January 6 committee stuff. What a colossal waste of time and taxpayer money.

And don't forget there is yet another Special Prosecutor looking at Donald Trump, so we should get a pretty intense news cycle next year.

In the meantime, not a bad time to disengage from everything but - The No Spin News. Enjoy the weekend.

Woke Nonsense

2022-12-15T15:19:00Z

Some conservatives are upset because the Cambridge Dictionary is redefining the words "man" and "woman." The outfit still lists the gender biological truism but then adds some woke gibberish. You can look it up.

At this point, why does anyone care? It's tedious; this woke nonsense. Yes, yes, yes, we have to have inclusion and diversity. Fine. Great. Far out.

But discussing this stuff and looking to be offended by traditional words like father and mother is a sign of neurosis.

That's right, woke people, some of you are loons. And the others enable the lunacy.

So, I'm not using the Cambridge Dictionary. Luckily, I don't need it because I'm perspicacious. And I already know the definition of tiresome: those who embrace woke.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

The MSNBC Fallout

2022-12-14T08:00:00Z

This week in history, NBC joined forces with Microsoft to invent MSNBC, a fusion of news coverage and "interactivity."

It didn't work.

In the beginning, 1996, Brian Williams was the face of the network as it tried to report the news in a somewhat straight fashion. The culture of NBC, like its counterparts at ABC and CBS, was socially liberal but not radical.

But few tuned in, and the executives watched in horror as the conservative Fox News Channel streaked in the ratings, crushing MSNBC and, soon, CNN.

I was up against Chris Matthews in the late 1990s at 8 pm. The Factor prevailed by a wide margin. That's when NBC executives decided to forsake journalism completely on its cable arm.

Today, MSNBC is steeped in left-wing propaganda and allows rank hatred to be displayed. In primetime, the average audience is 1.8 million, infinitesimal in a country where 125 million homes have television.

There is no question that MSNBC has damaged the brand of NBC News, giving a relatively fair guy like Lester Holt a major obstacle to overcome.

Microsoft didn't even want to try. It bailed out of the deal years ago.

Dissent is good for this country. Hating the opposition and, indeed, the nation itself is pernicious.

MSNBC and NBC have received what it deserves: scorn.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Toys for Tots

2022-12-13T15:14:00Z

Yesterday, President Biden had just one item on his official schedule: an event for Toys for Tots in Arlington, Virginia.

Now, I like tots, having been one myself, and I certainly want them to get neat toys for Christmas. But, maybe, perhaps, the President could have squeezed a bit more into his work day.

On Friday, very quietly, the government announced that the collective personal wealth of Americans has dropped seven trillion so far this year. That's our assets, not the swamp's. That's bank accounts, investments, home values.

Seven trillion down.

Don't tell the tots.

In addition, the stock market is off about 25 percent year to year. I don't know anyone buying stocks other than the Crypto guy in the Bahamas.

Yes, unemployment remains low, but real wages are falling as inflation vacuums up cash.

By all measures, the Biden economy is a mess, although millions of voters didn't seem to mind on Election Day. Joe Biden noticed that and immediately bellowed: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The voters like us; they really, really like us."

So, nothing will get fixed. Bank on that.

That is, if there's anything left in the account.

Up in Smoke

2022-12-12T15:43:00Z

Our reporting on the staggering jump in youth marijuana use is finally reaching the corporate media. If you watch the No Spin News, you know we reported a week ago that young Americans are using the intoxicant about 250 percent more than they did just a few years ago.

The leftist media has generally cheered on the legalization of recreational pot, so this is what you get: a generation of stoners, many of whom will move on to using hard narcotics.

It is infuriating to watch a phony politician like Senator Charles Schumer do everything he can to make drug use easier in the USA. Schumer has completely sold out to the progressive left, now repudiating positions he held just a few years ago.

It is Schumer who is forcefully advocating complete amnesty for at least 13 million foreign nationals here illegally. Hey, Chuck, maybe the government should give them a marijuana stash as well.

As any sane adult knows, kids lose their childhood once they become involved with intoxicants. And if they inebriate themselves on a regular basis, they will ruin their lives.

Get that, Chuck? Get that progressive movement?

Do you think they care?

They don't.

False Information

2022-12-09T14:44:00Z

With about two weeks before Christmas, this is a good time to regroup. It is difficult to process information these days because so much of it is false. And there is no "truth clearing house" where good citizens can go for fact-based reality.

Americans and those overseas are being overwhelmed by sophisticated propaganda slickly packaged and distributed on thousands of media outlets.

Some examples:

- Joe Biden's policies did not ignite inflation.

- Joe Biden's policy's have not led to massive illegal immigration and record narcotics smuggling.

- Violent crime surging has nothing to do with soft-on-criminal DAs.

Millions of people believe that because they want to believe it. They don't want to admit their Biden vote has been a disaster.

Back to regrouping. Here's what I recommend. Turn down the noise; limit TV news watching. Read a book.

Check out The Wall Street Journal editorial page daily.

Read this website's Message of the Day daily as well as the weekly column.

Don't get cynical; get serious. Arm yourself with facts so that when you speak, others notice the knowledge. The No Spin News is your North Star here.

Finally, listen to music you like as much as you can. And plan at least one fun thing a day. Keep it legal.

Enjoy the weekend.

Reaching the Folks

2022-12-08T17:09:00Z

Thought today we'd run a 4-minute clip of my spot on NewsNation last night. Again, we do these appearances to reach folks unaware of the No Spin News. Let me know what you think.

The Beach Boys

2022-12-07T14:46:00Z

Saw The Beach Boys last night at the Paramount in Huntington, Long Island. Lead singer Mike Love is 81, can still hit the notes and doesn't need a teleprompter for lyrics.

Although many young Americans don't understand (before their time) that the band epitomizes a far more innocent country than we have now. An era when strife and conflict seemed far away. Vietnam, of course, wiped that out.

But it's refreshing to hear the old songs, takes you back to a far less complicated world.

The Boys sounded great, and the young guys backing up are terrific in replicating the sound.

Glad I'm friends with Mike Love and Bruce Johnston. Thanks for everything, guys.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

White House Parties

2022-12-06T16:43:00Z

It's party time at the White House this week as the Christmas season has kicked in. I attended a bunch of those soirées in the past and they were highlights.

The building itself is, of course, magnificent, each room a historical theme park. Portraits of past presidents adorn the walls, and you stroll around imagining what took place there.

Food is top notch, served buffet-style. White House kitchen open round the clock.

Marine Guards all over the place. Christmas decorations meticulous.

The Presidents, themselves, appear to take pictures. Each guest has about two minutes with them. I brought my urchins a few times. Amazing experience.

Bush, Obama, and Trump were all very gracious - I always got in a quip, which they returned.

Michelle Obama was especially nice to my daughter.

Despite a divided America, we remain a good country striving to get better, I hope.

Will never forget my good fortune at those parties.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

People Believe What They Want

2022-12-05T14:45:00Z

One of my character flaws is that when famous people say stupid stuff, I really don't react much other than to mock it.

Many Americans are horrified that rap guy Kanye West said he liked some things about Hitler, a historical mass murderer. Perhaps the entertainer likes his stamp mustache, maybe his dog. We don't know. But why would anyone care? Mr. West, as the song goes, "don't know much about history" or anything else. And, living in a narcissistic world, it is beyond his capability to understand the massive pain any positive mention of the Third Reich brings. I'd even send West my book "Killing the SS," but I know he'd never read it because it's not about him.

Shortly before Thanksgiving, NBC commentator Joy Reid said on the air that celebrating the holiday was offensive because the Mayflower folks were only interested in abusing Native Americans, and the Plymouth Colony was a genocide preview.

Totally absurd, as the colonists were utterly dependent on local Indians for day-to-day survival. Ms. Reid spouts this nonsense because she despises her country.

It all comes down to the truism that "people believe what they want to believe." Donald Trump has no doubt the 2020 election was corrupt, and he continues to demand remedies be taken. Joe Biden is adamant that the southern border is secure. Hillary Clinton is trying to convince everyone that American women have lost their rights.

No problem commenting on any or all of that stuff. But for me, it's primarily eye-roll time. Been there, heard that.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Jumping the Shark

2022-12-02T15:45:00Z

It still amazes me that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told the world that President Biden had visited the southern border when he had not.

Yes, we consistently hear things from the Biden administration like "the border is secure" and "inflation is short term," but those things can be categorized as foolish opinions.

Saying the President has gone to the border when he hasn't is a lie. A major, provable deception.

In my opinion, Ms. Jean-Pierre doesn't care that she lied. Why should she? Nothing will happen to her. The corporate media are invested in the Democratic Party, so they'll ignore the situation. Like they did with the Hunter Biden laptop story. Like they did with surging violent crime.

But, when you think about it, the Biden border lie is the moment the White House "jumped the shark." Why would anyone believe what Karine says ever again?

It's a pathetic sign of the times. The nation's most powerful institution, the White House, has such a disregard for truth-telling.

It's an insult to all of us. Somebody tell the media.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Political Warning

2022-12-01T14:38:00Z

Right on time, the director of Homeland Security, the always impressive Alejandro Mayorkas, has issued a warning that far-right anti-semites may be planning to attack Jews and other minority groups.

This is a standard issue from Mayorkas, who has never acknowledged that last year, out of 690 mass shootings in America, only seven were perpetrated by a lone gunman. That stat comes from the Violence Project, which defines "mass shootings" as four or more people being hit by gunfire.

The threat of gun violence comes primarily from criminal drug gangs that terrorize inner cities.

Where is the warning about them, Mr. Mayorkas?

Nowhere because street crime doesn't register at the Biden propaganda mill; too many minority criminals are involved. Better to concentrate on white supremacists who apparently now run the Republican Party.

And, of course, we do have far-right hate groups in America. Alejandro and the Justice Department have been hunting them for almost two years. Outside of the revolting January 6 exposition, these white nationalists have been tough to track down.

Alejandro doesn't really care, anyway. Donald Trump foolishly dined with two anti-semites, so he was ordered to issue "the warning."

That's the way it works in Biden's world.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Embarrassing the Mullahs

2022-11-30T16:14:00Z

They had to win. If the US men's soccer team had fallen to Iran on Tuesday, the worldwide anti-American propaganda would have been deafening. But, apparently, Allah did not will it.

Good for him.

Iran is a vicious country whose people should have risen up a long time ago and deposed the militant clerics who terrorize their own people as well as others in the Gulf region. Iran would have fit in well with The Third Reich, as I vividly chronicle in my book "Killing the Killers" - the Secret War Against Terrorists."

But the Iranian soccer team did not go down easily. They played better than the Americans in the second half. As I've stated, this is a tough tournament to watch as the teams are playing not to lose rather than aggressively trying to win.

No matter, our soccer guys came through and embarrassed the Mullahs, whose entire premise is God is on their side, so murdering Jews and other infidels is no problem.

The world should wish Iran soon goes back to being Persia, and these maniacs running the place now, get justice.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

No Quality Control

2022-11-29T15:06:00Z

The piling on is accelerating just as we knew it would. Donald Trump is an anti-Semite for dining with the dim twins, Kanye West, and Nick Fuentes. The corporate media can't get enough of this story which was delivered right to their door by Mr. Trump.

There is irony galore as President Trump was a big time friend to Israel but, in a swirl of shrimp cocktail, that historical record has vanished.

Apparently, there is no one at his Palm Beach compound practicing quality control - vetting who gets into the proximity of a former president. This would have to be the case.

If Kanye West is in charge of supper - that is not a good thing.

It looks to me that President Trump is now distracted in the extreme. That, of course, will hurt any future ambitions he might have.

I mean you absolutely can't dine with Heinrich Himmler and Louis Farrakhan, mirrors of Fuentes and West, if you're a former president.

It is indisputable that President Biden is befuddled most of the daylight hours. Is it possible Mr. Trump is trying to catch up?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Reentering the Real World

2022-11-28T14:46:00Z

The political landscape is changing, and both President Biden and former President Trump do not seem to understand what's going on.

Tonight on the No Spin News, I will analyze Mr. Trump's decision to publicly dine with Kanye West and his companion, some fringe far-right guy. Why would Trump even consider doing that? Was fruitcake served as dessert?

After resting up in Nantucket, Old Joe Biden now must return to the White House to do whatever it is he does there. Certainly, not much problem-solving is going on. Mr. Biden, now 80, would be far better off living at the Villages, riding his bike wearing short pants and zipping around in a golf cart.

Yet, we continue to see dopey media stories saying another re-election campaign is in Joe's future.

Sure. Only people who invested in Crypto believe that.

It would be nice for the country if both Trump and Biden reentered the real world, would it not?

Both lads need to understand exactly where they are in life on this planet.

Optimistic?

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Oil, Dueling Investigations, & More

2022-11-23T16:58:00Z

I was on NewsNation's "Cuomo" where I went back and forth on multiple issues that are important to Americans with host Chris Cuomo.

The issue that impacts you most directly is Biden's handling of oil and rising gas prices.

There's a clip of it above.

Tonight at 6 PM ET, we'll post my entire appearance with Chris Cuomo.

We discussed the dueling Trump-Biden investigations, Merrick Garland, and why you are paying more at the gas pump.

Disney vs. Chapek

2022-11-22T15:27:00Z

The sacking of Disney CEO Bob Chapek was no surprise to your humble correspondent. I predicted it six months ago.

A company that appeals to children must protect children. Getting into a public spat with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over classroom alternative lifestyle lessons was as foolish a move as I've seen in the corporate world.

And it has cost Disney billions in lost business.

Traditional parents generally oppose teachers presenting cross-dressing, gender fluidity, and gay issues to young children. In the Muslim world, that could get you hanged.

But in the world of Hollywood, it's standard procedure these days to indoctrinate kids into the woke world at an early age.

The truth is that many, perhaps most, Americans have had it with woke. They are appalled at preening celebrities and executives ramming "their truth" down the throats of the public.

So, the public votes with its spending power. Apparently, Chapek is not smart enough to realize that.

Robert Iger, who returns as Disney CEO, does understand the audience dynamic. He is also woke, but he'll mask it. Profits trump woke and everything else.

The magic kingdom cannot say the magic is back. But at least the campaign against kids is gone.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

New Investigations

2022-11-21T15:36:00Z

These are trying times for the USA as the progressive movement seeks to destroy traditional folks and vice-versa. The midterm vote once again spotlighted our divided country and now come new investigations into both President Biden and Donald Trump.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a Special Counsel to look at Trump's January 6 conduct and his removal of classified documents from the White House.

Garland would never have done this unless ordered because he has to know there is reasonable doubt about Jan. 6.

As for the documents, they had better be explosive. Small ball here would be a disaster for the Democrats.

President Biden stands to lose much more if House Republicans can link him to Hunter Biden's money. It's a huge if - but a Vice President cannot be receiving secret money from shady deals his son made overseas.

That's felony territory.

Of course, both Biden and Trump deserve the presumption of innocence but will never get it as the corrupt corporate media does not believe in it.

As for all the honest folks, we should be sad to see our country being torn apart this way.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Voting Scandals

2022-11-18T15:28:00Z

With about two and a half million votes cast for Arizona's Governor, Kari Lake is behind Katie Hobbs by less than 18,000 ballots.

Nevertheless, the media has called the race for Hobbs, and Lake is refusing to concede. That's because there were documented voting machine malfunctions and an incredibly slow count of votes.

To make matters worse, Ms. Hobbs herself is in charge of election integrity, a clear conflict of interest.

Federal monitors should be sent to Arizona to examine what happened there. I am not an election "denier," but this is an awful situation.

Of course, the Biden administration will do nothing about it because the Democrat, Hobbs, has been called the winner.

But this Arizona vote is a scandal, and federal oversight is badly needed. The state simply cannot conduct a credible election.

In the end, Kari Lake will most likely not find 18,000 votes. But she should raise as much hell as possible, so Americans understand some states are unable to fill their constitutional mandate of conducting an efficient and honest election.

Hope you have an excellent weekend. New column Sunday noon. See you on Monday.

Priorities of the Democrats

2022-11-17T16:01:00Z

Los Angeles has elected a new mayor who is soft on crime and devoted to instituting progressive principles. Karen Bass will not solve the drug-crime-homeless problem in the City of Angels, so the quality of life for regular folks will continue to drop.

LA is similar to New York, where minority voters largely elected soft-on-crime Governor Kathy Hochul.

Democracy is not a panacea. It can work against the common good. That's what we are seeing in this country right now.

African-American voters put Hochul over the top and Bass as well. There are different priorities in poor neighborhoods than in affluent ones, obviously. There is a deep suspicion of the police and White conservatives. This has been going on since 1776.

The truth is that public safety is not as important to beleaguered Americans as government payments. Democrats champion the welfare state - Republicans do not. So, it is very difficult to change hearts and minds even if a murderous drug gang controls your neighborhood.

Our system of checks and balances is working as Republicans in the House will now block the madness of the progressive Biden administration. But among the poor and disenfranchised, we can expect little change. They will continue to vote as they always have.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Donald Trump is Back

2022-11-16T15:12:00Z

With Donald Trump forging on to recapture the White House, the American people will once again see vivid displays of media corruption.

Rather than cover a Trump v. DeSantis rivalry fairly, the national press will immediately take sides. That means objective data will be scuttled as compromised journalists do what they are told to do by their paycheck masters.

So, this is what we can expect for two years. The leftists will viciously attack Trump as they always do. They will also attempt to marginalize Ron DeSantis in the process but will go easier on him.

Destroy Trump will continue to be the goal on the left.

As for Republicans, sides will be quickly taken. Trump loyalists against DeSantis boosters. Already, the owners of Fox News are signaling a DeSantis preference.

The Wall Street Journal as well.

Newsmax will stay in the Trump camp, and that's about it for conservative TV. On the radio, opinions will be mixed, with Trump maintaining a slight advantage.

A two-year presidential campaign will be mind-numbing. It's just too much.

Things are likely to get worse for the Biden administration, but Democrats have a year to figure out their 2024 agenda.

As for us, we'll cover politics fairly as we always do. I hope you find that refreshing.

Tough Two Years Ahead

2022-11-15T15:29:00Z

The song "Sweet Home Alabama" has a good line in it: "In Birmingham, they love the governor. Now we all did what we could do."

The reference by Lynyrd Skynyrd is to the segregationist George Wallace, who terrorized Black people in the 1960s.

Ultimately, Wallace lost power, and a would-be assassin's bullet put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

I thought of the song when evaluating last week's vote. I know I did all I could do. I clearly laid out the danger from the Biden administration and the present-day Democratic Party. But millions of Americans dismissed the warning.

Each voter had a reason, but history will show the destruction to our society that will occur over the next two years. Some of us will avoid the worst of it - but the poor will not.

At this point, perceptive Americans will move forward and accept the "will of the people," no matter how misguided it is. This is not a mandate situation; more Americans voted for House Republicans than Democrats.

But the progressive movement was not derailed as I hoped it would be.

Tough two years ahead.

Manipulating Voters

2022-11-14T15:39:00Z

Even though we pinpointed why Democrats fended off disaster in last week's vote, independents broke left by a 5 percent margin; it remains difficult to believe.

I fully realize that many of my fellow Americans, as Lyndon Johnson was fond of saying, are not invested in their country or in accumulating knowledge in general. Not being snippy here. Only stating the obvious.

Politicians have been manipulating voters for centuries. But this year, the situation is obvious; President Biden and his party have damaged the USA in vivid ways but fail to acknowledge any deficiencies. It's disturbing.

But millions of voters, especially in the west, don't seem to care and cast ballots against their own self-interest. Thus, the national suffering will continue for at least two more years.

President Trump governed this country effectively, from fast-tracking the Covid vax to neutralizing Putin to facilitating a robust economy.

But Mr. Trump's election obsession hurt him, his party and alienated millions of folks who remain obsessed with hurting him and his supporters.

That was the difference last week.

Electoral Incompetence

2022-11-11T16:52:00Z

From what I can ascertain, it looks like Republicans will take 220 seats in the House. 218 needed for control. The guessing game continues because of the colossal incompetence of Arizona, Nevada, and parts of California. In those places, officials simply cannot count votes in an efficient way and, next time around, federal monitors should be installed.

Enough is enough with electoral incompetence.

Republicans should be chastened over the paltry House victory. Across the country, the GOP won the total House vote by about six percent. With the dithering Biden in the White House, that is a troubling underperformance.

The good news is that if the House is controlled by Republicans, the ultra-destructive progressive agenda on the federal level is dead for two years.

But like Dracula, it could rise again.

Help Is Not On The Way

2022-11-10T15:23:00Z

Call him Joey Houdini, an escape artist par excellence. The President of the United States should have been vividly repudiated in the midterm vote just like his former boss President Obama was in 2010.

Biden's party lost but small. The "red wave" was mostly food coloring. With everything going wrong in America, that fictional wave should have drenched the White House.

But no.

Yesterday, Joey Houdini answered a few press questions as his wife sat ten feet away. The President looked relaxed and said words, but I can't remember much - something about working with Republicans who are trying to destroy democracy.

Joe Biden has no idea why he wasn't hammered by voter unhappiness. He's just thrilled to screw up another day.

Two things worked for the Democrats who were helpless on policy: first, the election "denier" thing. And second, abortion.

Those items overshadowed inflation, violent crime, and border chaos in the minds of millions of voters.

Almost impossible to believe, but it's true.

So, we the people will have to endure more incompetence from the escape artist who believes he's doing a heckuva job.

And know this, Biden supporters: help is not on the way.

Democracy Hurts

2022-11-09T16:20:00Z

Benjamin Franklin would be sad if he were around today. Divided nation, increasingly dependent population, disrespect for order and established law, apathy, rampant addiction to substances and devices, incredible self-centricity among the folks.

Franklin understood freedom is eroded by all those things.

The USA had a chance to self-correct on Election Day but declined. Florida and some other states did reject the madness, but places like Arizona and Virginia dug deeper into it.

Yes, the incredibly inept Joe Biden is now checked by Congress but just barely. The repudiation of him should have been epic, as the kids say.

It wasn't. Millions of Americans voted for economic weakness, violent crime, immigration chaos, and woke terror.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received more than 70 percent of the vote in her crime-ridden, dangerous district.

There is no point in disparaging Americans who reject what has built this country into a colossus. They are entitled to believe what they want. But it's sad, and Dr. Franklin would attest to that.

Sometimes democracy hurts.

Cutting Back on Thanksgiving

2022-11-08T15:34:00Z

There are internet surveys on everything these days, and one just came out saying because of inflation, 30 percent of Americans are canceling the traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

Now, I don't believe the survey because Thanksgiving is almost sacred in the USA.

However, another part of the poll says a number of Americans are cutting out at least one dish in order to save money. So, let's run down that list.

Turkey/Ham has to be there unless you're vegan. Ditto stuffing and gravy.

Mashed and sweet potatoes? Gotta have them.

Green beans, yes, healthy and tasty.

Bread? Okay, the gluten can go.

Apple pie? A must. Ice cream on it - not necessary. Blueberry pie? Absolutely.

The beverage area is where you can save. The pilgrims actually drank beer in Plymouth. Today, many drink wine. Not me.

Best drink with dinner: water with lemon. That's essentially free if you have a water filter which you should have.

Thanksgiving is worth the tariff. No question. Enjoy it.

Going Down the Drain

2022-11-07T15:40:00Z

A poll over the weekend by NBC News says that Americans prefer Democrats to run Congress.

Now, that seems to be unbelievable, and it is if you believe other polling - especially the 75 percent number that says voters feel the country is going down the drain.

Dems are now in charge of the drain.

The Comcast Corporation, which owns NBC, is exceedingly liberal, so the pollster could just be giving the people paying the bills what they want to hear. Happens a lot in the polling industry.

There is a chance that NBC will be right, but all the hard evidence points away from that.

And if the NBC poll is correct, I will make a big deal out of it.

If the poll is desperately wrong ... well ... we'll have a few words for NBC.

But they don't care. Few remember polls ten minutes after they read them. So what if NBC makes a faulty prediction?

Who's going to do anything about it?

Americans used to value honest, credible reporting. Now many of us know only profits and ideology matter, so a relatively few get upset when news agencies distort and censor. Hello, Hunter Biden.

Wednesday (Tomorrow), we'll have the verdict on NBC.

George Soros' Democratic Party

2022-11-04T10:00:00Z

Most Americans have no clue, but billionaire progressive George Soros is on every ballot in every state. Soros, the architect of open borders and no punishment even for violent criminals, has donated more than $128 million to far-left candidates this election cycle.

You will never hear, "I'm Georgie, and I approved this message." Soros operates in the darkness pumping money into political action committees that can finance TV ads everywhere. It is not an understatement to say that shadowy George has bought the Democratic Party.

But why? What does this guy really want?

A new America, that's what he wants.

Like other hardcore progressives, he believes his adoptive country is evil, a place that seeks to oppress blacks, Jews, and other minorities. George Soros wants to tear the house down.

I have never heard a democrat politician criticize Soros. No matter how destructive his goals are, they stand mute.

And that's just one more reason to vote against the democrats on Tuesday.

Liberal Across the Board

2022-11-03T14:34:00Z

CBS News has always had a liberal bent which they kept controlled under Walter Cronkite. Years later, when I worked there, Dan Rather was the power. He and his Texas pal Bob Schieffer were both ardent leftists but did practice some discretion in the hard news arena.

Now, the culture at CBS across the board is totally left. As I wrote yesterday in this space, that doesn't matter as much because the news audience is down, the influence factor is low.

Nevertheless, interesting things do happen. This week CBS Morning anchor Tony Dokoupil, a proud liberal, confronted Republican Senator Tom Cotton with the leftwing belief that Donald Trump and his supporters directly caused the Pelosi attack because they are so nasty.

Absurd, but that crew believes it.

Cotton shut him down quickly by pointing out that Senator Chuck Schumer publicly said that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh "wouldn't know what hit him" if he ruled against Schumer's beliefs.

Of course, a man is now in custody after being found with a gun outside Kavanaugh's home.

Will Tony D. learn anything from the smackdown? Not likely.

Blatant Leftist Bias

2022-11-02T14:35:00Z

The conservative Media Research Center, usually methodical with facts, reports that 87 percent of network news coverage this election cycle has been negative to Republicans.

Surprised? Not unless you just arrived from Honduras.

But the blatant leftist bias demonstrated by most TV News operations is not what it used to be. Let me rephrase. The bias is worse than ever, but far fewer Americans are paying attention.

Incredibly, the three cable news operations were all down in the ratings from a year ago. This is despite the scorching midterm campaigns. They should be at record-high viewership.

The decline is because most news presentations are now boring, predictable, and lazy. The toughest question is often, "what do you make of that?" In general, television news is tiring, the presenters are terrified of saying the "wrong" thing.

With information pouring out of your cell phone, why sit and watch "The Drowsy Factor?"

Few Americans under the age of 60 do.

So, yes, the corporate media is allied with the Democrats. But come November 8, it won't matter.

Our midterm coverage, lively and smart, continues this evening on the No Spin News.

The Dems Are in Trouble

2022-11-01T14:48:00Z

Where's Kamala? Only seven more days until the vote and she is MIA. Don't know of any Democrats who have requested her presence on the campaign trail.

President Biden has done a small amount of campaigning although not last weekend when he holed up in Delaware. Jill, however, was out stumping.

So what does this tell us? Well, how about the President and Vice President are not very popular even in their party.

I believe that's it.

Will that matter on November 8? Not sure. But there's no question the Dems are in trouble.

I mean, how could they not be? In just two years time, the USA has gone from prosperity to ten percent inflation.

We're all " feeling it."

I hope Democrats are wiped out in the midterms. And I think it will happen.

Terrible Situation

2022-10-31T15:31:00Z

It would be a terrible situation if Nancy Pelosi would use the dastardly attack on her husband to accuse her political opponents of fomenting violence.

Already, the once-responsible Bob Woodward has done that, and it is flat-out wrong. The loser drug addict who hurt Paul Pelosi is a deranged individual with all kinds of nutty beliefs.

On the other side, Elon Musk was correct in shutting down conspiracy theories about the crime on Twitter. This conspiracy stuff is totally out of control in America and needs to stop. Facts establish truth, not ideologically driven fantasies.

I well understand how angry many Americans are at the state of this country. I'm furious at how the progressive left is dismantling our society.

But that is no excuse for irresponsible actions on both sides.

Next week the nation will see some of the most brutal political attacks ever. The latest Herschel Walker allegation from 30 years ago is just the beginning. Brought by far-left activists, the second abortion accusation reminds me of the discredited attacks on Brett Kavanaugh.

But Mr. Walker has led a chaotic social life, so that has to be considered. In this case, due process is still the fair thing to do, however.

I am watching the New Hampshire senate race, which is not getting much attention. The republican candidate Bolduc is surging. The Democrat, Maggie Hassan, is in trouble.

So, expect the left to launch vitriolic attacks up until Election Day. The Dems know they're in trouble.

Over the weekend, we'll be tweeting the election news. Our honest coverage continues. Thanks for checking us out.

Failures of the Left

2022-10-26T14:47:00Z

Democrats across the country are facing a tough decision on November 8. Either vote against their own party, which has failed them on the economy, crime, and border security - to name just three important issues - or vote for candidates who are hurting them.

Let's take Governor Kathy Hochul in New York. Under her administration, violent crimes are up significantly across the state. In the New York City subway system, felonies have increased 40 percent so far this year. While Hochul fiddles, crime casualties are brutal.

And what has the Governor done about it? Nothing. Nada, in español.

Hochul doesn't even talk a good game. She wails, "we have to get guns off the streets." Not gun criminals, mind you, just the hardware.

Stop, and frisk is the only police tactic that will get guns off the streets. Hochul opposes that.

And if you point that out to the Governor, you're likely to be branded a racist.

Hochul and other democrats love to brand their opponents "extremists."

But I think it is extreme to fail to confront death and mayhem driven by criminals.

I think that's very extreme.

So are you an extremist? If so, the democrats are your party.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.

Joe Biden is Lost

2022-10-25T14:37:00Z

President Biden needs a vacation. He is now totally out of control when it comes to saying actual words. The latest is telling the world the USA has lower inflation than most other countries. That came as a shock to France, Japan, Canada, and many of the EU countries, which are well below the USA inflation rate.

Then Mr. Biden tops that by proclaiming that Congress voted and approved his student loan forgiveness plan. Uh, no. The President signed an Executive Order on that one - demanding $400 billion tax dollars to make it happen.

Of course, the EO is unconstitutional because only Congress can approve federal spending programs. So, predictably, a court has blocked the loan forgiveness deal.

Once again, I will tell you that the most powerful man in the world does not understand what he is saying and doing.

And once again, I will remind you that before the 2020 vote, I clearly stated that working Americans would be financially harmed if Biden won.

This is not hard. Joe Biden is lost and will not be found. We all need to be protected from him.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.

Accountability is Coming

2022-10-24T15:55:00Z

As the polling clouds get darker, Democrats across the country are panicking over the upcoming midterm vote. The summer media blitz supporting the Dems was always phony, and now the prospect of a red landslide is here.

Simply put, many voters are angry about the failure to even attempt to solve severe problems. In his diminished state, President Biden tells Americans the economy is strong, the southern border is secure, and he's not responsible for the energy debacle.

You would have to be a complete moron to believe any of those things.

In New York, the vastly incompetent Kathy Hochul may lose the governor's race to republican Lee Zeldin, something almost inconceivable a few months ago.

So Hochul is now demanding the mayor of New York City flood the subway with police officers to stem the horrific violence that's been going on for at least a year.

A little late to the turnstile, eh Ms. Hochul?

It's pretty simple. Americans want problems solved. Democrats are not doing that.

Accountability is coming.

Exploiting Inflation

2022-10-21T14:40:00Z

So now the people who market turkeys for Thanksgiving are price gouging. The cost of the average bird is up about 70 percent over last year.

Why?

There is plenty of fowl running around the USA, so I sense foul play here. Price-gouging in the age of runaway inflation. I can't prove it, but again, the turkey population is booming.

The sad truth is that some businesses are exploiting the inflation situation. They know folks can't keep score on many of the things they need. For Halloween, some candy makers are charging more even while shrinking packages. Soon it will be "Two Musketeers."

American consumers are under siege from all sides. A befuddled President, callous companies, taking advantage of inflation, and an apathetic press that rarely covers "bread and butter" issues.

Like turkeys, there is plenty of sugar available. Why the gouge?

Because they can.

Enjoy the weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Avoiding Kanye West

2022-10-20T14:38:00Z

To our credit, the No Spin News has avoided Kanye West. I have nothing against the entertainer but he's not exactly a news-maker.

He's an attention-seeker, a savvy marketer.

So I find myself on Newsmax, Eric Bolling's show to promote "Killing the Legends". But Bolling is jazzed about Kanye. He wants to know what I think about Mr. West saying anti-Semitic things on the Fox News Channel, words that were edited out of the taped interview.

Well, anti-semitism is bad and a proven pathway to violence. So I said I wouldn't interview Kanye West ever.

My opinion only. Not calling for him to be canceled or criticizing FNC.

This was an easy call for me. I don't want to waste my audience's time. Again, Mr. West is a talented man but discussing geopolitics with him seems like a fool's errand.

Or am I wrong?

Turning Away from Progressives

2022-10-19T14:46:00Z

After hearing my analysis this week, the website Real Clear Politics now predicts Republicans will win the Senate 52 - 48 and the House will be a red barn.

Things have changed as the economy worsens, and President Biden will not even acknowledge the horror inflation is wrecking on working Americans.

The smart money understands money runs America, not Dunkin. Families that can't pay the bills are tense families. Biden is about as empathetic to that as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre guy. He's through in the court of public opinion, as is his party. At least in this voting cycle.

The Republicans may find a way to muck it all up, but I don't think so. Biden's performance has been so awful it is almost impossible to disguise it.

And so America will turn again, away from the progressive zealots and towards more traditional governance. Can't come fast enough.

Doom for the Dems

2022-10-18T14:36:00Z

The headline reads this way: "Independent women voters have massively shifted from Democrats toward Republicans in the race for Congress as a faltering economy becomes an ever-larger issue, according to a New York Times/Siena poll released Monday."

If that's true, and that poll has been suspect, it is all over for the Dems on November 8. The GOP will win both houses of Congress.

I think that will happen.

As I reported on the No Spin News, President Biden has gone from befuddled to delusional. Baghdad Bob territory. He told a reporter in Portland, Oregon the economy is "strong as hell." It's not.

Previously, he stated that the southern border is secure. It's not.

You would think the President would show a little humility in the face of severe problems. He's not.

And so in three weeks, it will be doom for the Dems.

See you tonight for the No Spin broadcast.

Hatred on the Left

2022-10-17T14:34:00Z

Writing in The Washington Post, Margaret Sullivan lists a long countdown of how badly she's been treated by Trump supporters. I have no doubt that's true because, in six years, I have not seen one positive thing she's written about the former president or his administration.

Apparently, Trump did nothing right in four years and deserves continuing scorn and denigration, as do all of his supporters.

Then the always amusing George Clooney tells Chris Wallace how "cruel" Republicans really are. Nothing good about them Georgie says; nothing at all.

I fully realize that any semblance of fairness has been wiped out in the ideological media. The right can get ultra nasty, no question. But there's no comparison to the hatred on the left.

Especially if you mention Trump.

It's just the way it is, and it's especially troubling because Donald Trump may run for president in 2024.

If that happens, this country will approach a fissure not seen since the Civil War.

Radical Joe

2022-10-14T14:56:00Z

In the past, Joe Biden presented himself as a regular guy with blue-collar sensibilities. Joe from Scranton. Lunch pail Joe.

Well, those days are long gone. Now the President is full of praise for extremists. Two recent examples.

On Thursday, Mr. Biden was very bullish on Congresswoman Maxine Waters, saying that he agrees with anything she says. Wow.

Does that include justifying violence as Ms. Waters did after George Floyd was killed? Say it ain't so, Joe.

Also, this week Mr. Biden sent birthday greetings to Joy Behar, one of the biggest haters on television. Ms. Behar is 80 and more vitriolic than ever.

The more I observe the President, the more I am coming to believe that Biden faked us out with his "moderate Joe" posture. I now think he truly is a far-left guy who despises the other side and deeply admires polarizers like Waters and Behar.

Joe Biden fooled a lot of folks. Including me.

Enjoy the weekend.

Getting Hosed by the Airlines

2022-10-13T14:30:00Z

Now comes word that the airlines will be price gouging over the holiday travel season. And why not? The Department of Transportation, led by the always energetic Pete Buttigieg, lets the plane companies do pretty much what they want.

And what they want is to provide terrible service at the highest price possible.

In most other industries, that strategy would lead to failure. Customers would go elsewhere. But you can't do that in many travel situations because options are limited in the unfriendly skies.

The feds are supposed to oversee the situation to make sure travelers don't get hosed. But Pete will not do that, and no one can make him. So, we pay good money to be tortured, at least in many cases.

In December, it snows in much of America. The airlines often cannot get off the ground if it's cloudy. Do the math.

And a Merry Christmas to you.

Most Dangerous Man in the World

2022-10-12T14:40:00Z

Had an illuminating conversation yesterday with former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo about Putin, the most dangerous man in the world right now. Mr. Pompeo believes the Russian dictator is still rational in that he can absorb information but may be delusional about his personal power.

No question that Putin also finds himself in a very dangerous place as there is growing internal dissent against him. Secretary Pompeo believes any nuclear action by Vlad would be quickly answered by NATO.

Tonight on the No Spin News, we'll run a clip of the interview, which can be seen in its entirety beginning Friday on "Shock and Awe," my new weekly program on Vidgo, a worldwide streaming service.

Protection From Political Madness

2022-10-11T15:58:00Z

Self-protection is something that is not emphasized in America, it's rarely even taught in school. That's because our society is built on the belief that most things will work out for the best eventually.

But that is no longer true, and today we must be very aware that the cavalry is not coming to save us. In modern America, we are very much on our own, especially if your family is dysfunctional.

Examples. If someone hurts you physically - punishment for that person is no longer assured. The progressive left is destroying the concept of crime and punishment, and the civil courts are largely in disarray.

If economics overwhelm you, you may well enter the deprivation zone. It is imperative that Americans save money. Most don't. Having a weak financial position in a country of 330 million puts you in peril.

Finally, it is almost beyond comprehension how badly many politicians are performing. President Biden has put every American in a downward spiral with his insane economic policies. What's the protection against that?

There is none.

So wise up. Protect yourself and those who depend on you as best you can. Rule number one in the USA.

Doom For Democrats

2022-10-10T15:15:00Z

With virtually no Democratic congressional candidates asking President Biden to campaign for them, a stark message has been sent. Mr. Biden's incompetence may be contagious, and the Dems don't want an association.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is racing around the country in support of Republican candidates.

At this point in American history, it is becoming too difficult for working Americans to prosper. Disposable income is dropping due to inflation, and while there are many jobs, building savings is difficult because of high housing and living costs in many places. With interest rates climbing, housing will soon be squeezed as new construction slows down.

President Biden, I believe, does not understand economics, nor is he particularly interested. The White House's standard issue is "the economy is strong."

Not on Main Street, it isn't. And that should spell doom for Democrats on November 8.

Hunter Biden is Back

2022-10-07T15:18:00Z

It's an October surprise; Hunter Biden is back. According to The Washington Post, the feds might indict him for avoiding taxes and lying on a handgun application.

Not exactly the O.J. Simpson case, but not helpful for Daddy Joe. Not at all.

Someone in the Justice Department fed The Washington Post the story, which is interesting. The Post was a Hunter/Computer denier and is an enthusiastic partner to the Democrats.

So if the Post got a heads up, odds are something will go down.

Hi, there, Hunter.

Of course, the big story is whether or not the big guy received money from the rascal Hunter. If that happened, impeachment follows.

But the Justice Department is not going to investigate that even after it finds out who leaked the abortion/Supreme Court memo. Sorry for the cynicism.

However, if Republicans take the House, expect major "hearings" on the Biden money train.

Woo-woo. Have a good weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Reimagining Border Security

2022-10-06T14:20:00Z

A few years ago, I was promoting "Killing the Mob," and I stated that savvy gangsters would be wise to support Joe Biden for president. That's because Mr. Biden was going to "reimagine" border security and dismantle the inhibitors President Trump had put in place.

Thus, narcotics would flood in from Mexico, and the mobster's profits would explode. And that's exactly what's happened.

Correspondingly, hundreds of thousands of Americans have died from heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine, which are readily available throughout the country.

In addition, thousands of Americans have been murdered by street drug gangs that sell the poison. They fight for turf, shooting at will.

President Biden has largely avoided speaking about this dangerous reality and his spinners, most notably Vice President Harris, tell Americans the border is secure.

Of course, that's a lie, but the Biden administration well understands it can mislead whenever it wants because the national press is in its pocket.

Death by gunshot or drug overdose is gruesome, and so is the open border policy Biden champions.

Honoring Due Process

2022-10-05T14:21:00Z

Sometimes being a decent human being is demanding. It requires discipline and courage. It's challenging to say the least.

If Herschel Walker wins his senate race in Georgia, the Republicans will likely control Congress completely. So, the knives are out for Mr. Walker.

A leftist website is reporting that the former football player paid a woman to abort his child. Walker denied it on the Sean Hannity program. And we are supposed to be a nation that believes in due process. That means Herschel Walker is innocent until proven guilty.

But the media and millions of partisan Americans do not honor due process. Thus, there is hysteria.

If Walker did not pay for the abortion, he should sue The Daily Beast immediately.

If he did, he should admit it. Period. He should try to regain decent human being status. He's a Christian. The doctrine is built around forgiveness. But if guilty, I would not vote for Herschel Walker.

I very much hope he's innocent, as all decent people should. We'll see.

And we will see you tonight for the No Spin News.

Trump's CNN Lawsuit

2022-10-04T14:27:00Z

Donald Trump is suing CNN for a gazillion dollars. Defamation. The network certainly defamed him, but Mr. Trump will not prevail because he'll have to show direct damages.

In England, the former president might win because the bar is much lower. But in the USA, with the press constitutionally protected, no way.

So why is Mr. Trump doing this? Have to guess, and I don't like doing that, but the lawsuit will fire up the MAGA base and reinforce Trump's status as an "avenger."

Also, another hate Trump book is out this week, and the best defense is a good offense. Attacking CNN might drain some attention away from the book written by Maggie Haberman.

Incredibly, Ms. Haberman was granted three interviews by Donald Trump despite pounding him for years. It's the celebrity thing that I write about in "Killing the Legends." Donald Trump likes attention even if it hurts him.

The winners here are the lawyers. As they usually are.

Dubious Polling

2022-10-03T14:28:00Z

Polling will begin in earnest this week for the midterm election. The problem is some companies are dishonest and skew the results. They know what the companies that pay them want to see, and it's not hard to get preordained results.

Consumers rarely know who, exactly, is being polled. This is called "methodology." I almost always have my producers call the polling agencies to get the data, which they assemble.

The biggest con is simple: poll far more Democrats than Republicans. That often happens.

But there's another way to skew results - using self-proclaimed independent voters. The polling operators do not put out exactly who these "independent" voters are. So it's easy to flood the zone by overweighting independents in Seattle, for example. Those folks are much different from independents in, say, Oklahoma. The deceit is a snap. Okay

Be very skeptical about the polls.

The Harsh Side of the Planet

Lives are disrupted routinely all over the world, and that's the harsh side of this planet. Fort Myers, Florida, is a nice place to live, and now a storm has not only damaged property but the core of thousands of good people.

The same for all the communities hammered by the hurricane this week.

There is nothing we can do about so-called "acts of God," and that is both frightening and frustrating. No person is to blame for any storm. The leftist zealots will tell you it's "climate change," blah, blah, blah. But that's nonsense. Destructive nature has been in the universe forever.

Just ask the dinosaurs.

The states and feds will help people rebuild as they should. But the pain is immense. All Americans should be thinking of their brothers and sisters in the wake of the storm. And help if you can.

Dependence on Government

2022-09-29T14:38:00Z

The Wall Street Journal reports that three years ago, 2019, the United States spent $60 billion on food stamps.

This year, more than $120 billion will be spent - a double. And President Biden wants more taxpayer dollars to combat "food insecurity."

Of course, he does. Mr. Biden's solution to every problem is spending more money. The astronomical federal budget has caused inflation, which makes it harder for people to buy food. Biden then offers more free food, which will ignite even higher inflation.

Great.

Joe Biden doesn't care about any of that. Way too complicated for him. But his party cares deeply. Not about hungry folks - but about creating dependence on government.

Why do you think poor Americans overwhelmingly support the democrats? Entitlements, that's why.

And, by the way, many undocumented migrants will be getting those entitlements.

Finally, if you oppose outrageous spending, you are evil, a bigot, a greed head, a selfish American who does not pay "his fair share," to quote the socialist Bernie Sanders.

So we watch our country descend into a place without problem-solving, discipline, or self-reliance.

Fame is a Blood Sport

2022-09-28T14:23:00Z

The pursuit of power, money, and fame is the express lane to hell. That's documented in my new book "Killing the Legends" but also expands to the political situation today.

Vlad Putin had it all; complete power in Russia, billions of dollars, and every option open to him.

It wasn't enough.

Putin is destroying himself, his country, and innocent Ukrainians for what? Nothing. He is waging war simply because he can, no other legitimate reason.

Eventually, he will go down, but he'll take plenty of folks with him.

In the USA, Joe Biden has renounced almost every single principle he ever held to achieve power and fame. He once opposed abortion. He was once tough on crime. He was considered a "moderate" Democrat.

Now he's a far-left zealot because that was the pathway to power.

Fame crushes most of those who seek it. Not all, but the vast majority. It is an unnatural state. And in America today, it is a blood sport.

That prevents some smart, honest people from entering the arena. And so we get ruthless and calculating.

Woke Sports Names

2022-09-27T14:28:00Z

The Atlanta Braves were at the White House yesterday being congratulated by President Biden for winning last year's World Series.

One problem. Sleepy Joe and his woke staff do not like the name "Braves."

And they are offended by the tomahawk chop, an aggressive arm gesture some fans use to support the team.

It is somewhat incredible that the word "brave" is now a pejorative. Young Indian warriors were brave. Read my book "Killing Crazy Horse." There are all kinds of Native American valiant behavior in there.

Indian braves were named that because they were not afraid to defend their tribes. But the Biden administration is deeply afraid of offending the nutty wokesters. The President is also afraid of actually governing; the country is a mess.

But back to the Braves. I can understand deep-sixing the Redskins. Skin color isn't the best moniker.

The Cleveland Indians, however, made a mistake. They are now the Guardians. Lame. Who are they guarding, exactly?

There were many Indian tribes in the Cleveland area at one time in history. Just ask William Henry Harrison.

I hope the Braves stick with the name. Atlanta is getting pounded these days. "Gone with the Wind" is racist, and the far left despises Georgia because it has voter ID.

So to President Biden, I say - relax on the sports names, Kimosabe. This country has much bigger problems.

Voting on Emotion

2022-09-26T14:23:00Z

Here's the question every American should be asking: how did the U.S. economy go from low inflation, low unemployment, and rising wages to the verge of a severe recession in less than two years?

The economic stats are grim, the stock market is tottering, and the Biden administration continues to blame Putin, Covid, and Donald Trump.

Fools may buy that, but most Americans will not. Nevertheless, Democrats remain competitive in the upcoming November vote if you believe the polls.

I don't believe them. However, there is no doubt in my mind that millions of voters will cast ballots for the party that is hurting them.

It all goes back to folks believing what they want to believe, regardless of reality. We all know people like this; they will never adjust their thinking.

Routinely, I interact with some liberal Americans and often ask them about Joe Biden's failures. One of them recently said to me: "nobody likes Biden. But Trump and the Republicans are worse."

Not if you are talking about economic prosperity. Not if you're speaking about illegal immigration. And what about the awful rise in violent crime fueled by "progressives."

In the end, most Americans on both sides vote their emotions. And that is becoming increasingly dangerous.

The Truth About Reparations

2022-09-23T14:33:00Z

On my new weekly program, Shock and Awe, I had a spirited conversation with the former head of the NAACP, Dr. Benjamin Chavis. The show airs on Vidgo, a worldwide streaming service, and is designed to deliver the smartest people in the country in robust debate.

Anyway, Dr. Chavis supports direct cash payments by the federal government to African-Americans. Reparations. I see that as disastrous.

There are two truths here. First, early America used slaves to allow whites to make money. In stone fact. However, hundreds of thousands of Americans, under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, were killed or maimed, destroying slavery during the Civil War.

To make their ancestors, us, pay for the historical injustice of slavery today is folly. That would open a nonstop campaign to fund other historical atrocities, and there are many.

The second truth is that reparations would fracture current white-black interactions. There would be massive resentment on the part of taxpaying Americans who are struggling economically. Why create that?

Of course, Ben Chavis sees it differently, and I respect his point of view. But I don't believe reparations will ever happen.

Not Surprised

2022-09-22T14:27:00Z

The American Journal of Preventive Medicine says one in five adolescents suffer from "depression."

To which I reply: that's all?

It's rough out there for kids, social media can harm them grievously, and today, every child is locked and loaded with a cell phone.

Childhood has never been gentle; bullies, false friends, competition over appearance, nagging parents. Don't know about you, but I felt liberated when I got my driver's license at 17. End of kid status.

Now young people are never liberated. Social media attacks are vicious and often anonymous. I confronted bullies with my fists. Today you don't even know who is trying to hurt you in the tweet universe.

So, who's surprised that 20 percent of American kids are depressed? And, of course, that state of mind can easily lead to substance abuse.

The answer to my question is - no one's surprised.

Politics is a Tough Road

2022-09-21T14:21:00Z

So let me ask you an important question. Do most of the people you know want you to succeed in life? Or not?

Chances are you don't know. That's because jealousy and resentment are sometimes masked. Two-faced is the expression.

In politics and sports, things are different. Americans have their teams, and we want them to do well, or else we'd find new teams. Therefore, there's no hope of Red Sox fans rooting for the Yankees or conservative folks pulling for Joe Biden.

As Bush the Elder once said: "not gonna happen."

This makes things harder for Biden, Trump, and all politicians who must deal with resistance no matter what they do. The Yankees don't need Sox fans in order to succeed, but elected leaders can only be effective if a majority supports them.

So, politics is unique and a very tough road.

But back to you. It's important to know who is wishing you prosperity and who is not. Some try to persuade the naysayers to their side but not me.

I try to treat everyone fairly but understand that not all will return respect.

So, I walk away from those people, as difficult as it is sometimes. I don't want to be ambushed down the road.

Something is Wrong

2022-09-20T14:20:00Z

Getting older provides new insights and frustrations as your body and mind adjust to deterioration. It happens to everyone. Males physically peak at age 19. Females in their 30's. Staying out of why.

I was never a patient guy, but now I'm worse. I don't cut people enough slack. I see something dubious, and I comment. This is not the way to popularity.

The big problem is - I know too much. I've been around. I understand what is good, mediocre, and bad. Again, a formula for banishment.

Let's take the recent 60 Minutes interview with President Biden. Scott Pelley talked with him. But the chat was soft, with Pelley saying "I wonder" a lot. Mike Wallace, whom I knew well, never wondered. He knew. And he asked tough questions. Pelley didn't even address the border situation. It was incredible.

And I know that 60 Minutes did that intentionally. But why? That I don't know.

Many baby boomers ride around in golf carts and eat dinner at 4:30. Sleep approaches at 9 pm. They sometimes watch singing shows on TV. They are largely content.

Not me. I'm thinking about Scott Pelley.

I am ready for some chow-duh and lobster rolls. Count me in for soft late summer ocean breezes. Yes, to a drive-by Obama's mansion.

Not sure why the liberal media is angry. The Vineyard is nicer than El Paso, and the September heat in Florida is unpleasant.

New England is the original migrant place, is it not? Tradition is a wonderful thing.

Of course, the media outrage is phony posturing. President Biden flies undocumented foreign nationals all over the place, and CNN has no problem with it. So this is another example of a fake reaction to real news.

Here's hoping every single migrant is welcomed in the sanctuary places. Poor people are being used, no question. But it is the left who is doing it.

See you beginning at six eastern tonight for the No Spin News.

Immigration Hypocrisy

2022-09-16T17:46:00Z

The political move by Florida Governor DeSantis has brought a massive amount of publicity to the leftists who fail to uphold immigration law.

By sending 48 migrants to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, liberal heaven, DeSantis got what he wanted: outrage from the press and the Democratic Party.

Regular folks are watching this blatant hypocrisy, and it is registering in vivid ways. The Sanctuary movement is built on theory - but when poor foreign nationals actually show up - there is liberal angst rather than compassion.

More on this Monday. Have a nice weekend. New column Sunday noon.

Shock and Awe

2022-09-15T15:53:00Z

Tomorrow the second edition of "Shock and Awe" will be available on Vidgo.com/Bill. I examine Joe Biden's presidency through a historical lens.

We have three historians, as well as myself, providing analysis. None are as militant as I am regarding Mr. Biden. I believe he's damaging the country profoundly, and history will record that. My guests provide different perspectives, which is exactly what I want.

Living in an echo chamber will not improve your life. And it's kind of boring. We should all be seeking the best information, and that only happens if we hear a variety of views.

Hope you check out " Shock and Awe." And really hope you are awed.

Lack of Awareness

2022-09-14T14:25:00Z

The latest inflation report is a disaster for working Americans. It is clear that the Biden administration is not capable of running the US economy, and most of us in the marketplace are getting hurt financially.

Yet millions of Americans stand by their man, the president, and his party, the Democrats.

Why?

Lack of awareness, that's why.

Even though the dimmest among us has to know things are far more expensive than even a year ago, they don't understand why, generally speaking.

And many Americans are simply too lazy to apply themselves in order to find out why.

That might take time away from fantasy football or gaming on your device. Following the news cycle is boring for some. So they won't do it.

Low information voters are a big problem. A recent Annenberg study says fewer than half of American adults know the three branches of government. Thus, many allow incompetence and deceit simply because they don't know what's going on.

And that crew is growing. Fast.

Tonight on the No Spin News - a report on the Grand Jury investigating Donald Trump. See you later.

The Rise of Sports Violence

2022-09-13T14:26:00Z

Get ready for sports violence to rise in America, perhaps to the level of European soccer crowds. Drunken working-class fans are notorious in Great Britain and other countries for provoking brawls. Seething economic frustration and resentments drive the dangerous situations which have been going on for years.

I remember being in a Glasgow pub when a "bother boy" snarled at me, demanding to know what football team I supported.

"Whatever one you like, mate," I replied.

Judging from his scar-lined face, the guy was in the brawl business. Loser. No path upward.

On Sunday, fights broke out at the Eagles-Lions game, and this is just the beginning. Thugs know many American cities will not even prosecute assaults anymore. They also understand they are going nowhere unless they get educated and work hard. Two tickets millions of Americans are now refusing to punch.

So, expect some brutality this football season and even at baseball games. Our society is sinking quickly because restraints have been lifted by progressive forces.

As the sergeant used to say on Hillstreet Blues: "be careful out there."

Dark Money Forces

2022-09-12T14:10:00Z

In less than two months, Americans will either vote to save their country or to allow the progressive chaos to continue. It's as simple as that.

Mine is not a party analysis. Democrats are obviously failing across the country, there is no question about that.

But Republicans don't have a leader. Donald Trump is a populist, not a traditional Grand Old Party guy. He obviously marches to a different drum - one he exclusively plays.

So independent voters who don't like Trump do not have much incentive.

The sad truth is that most voters will not show up on November 8. Despite all the economic pain, all the violent crime, all the anarchy surrounding immigration, millions of Americans will sit the midterms out.

That gives the dark money forces of evil, the far left subversives, a fighting chance. It will not be about election fraud in November.

It will be about awareness of how damaged America really is. And only "we the people" can do something about it.

Truth Doesn't Matter

2022-09-09T14:28:00Z

As we reported on Thursday, former Disney CEO Robert Iger believes the big three networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC, are pretty much finished as influential enterprises. And Iger is correct; younger Americans, in particular, have little interest in watching; only live sports attract a major audience these days.

This will be a profound cultural change. No longer will television entertainment be a unifier. And TV News is on the verge of irrelevance as few Americans trust it.

So, the country will lack an electronic town square as mass messaging goes over to social media, where there are few standards or safeguards. Anything goes.

Truth will not matter.

The dark money boys know this. They understand they can now buy a false reality. Joe Biden is a unifier, that kind of stuff.

Don't see how this situation can be reversed. When honest discourse ends, totalitarianism begins. Hope I'm wrong.

I Hope I'm Wrong

2022-09-08T14:26:00Z

Always, I have believed in the ability of Americans to understand essential situations largely out of self-interest.

A good example is the election of Donald Trump in 2016. Voters could easily see that Mr. Trump lacked self-discipline and was going to uproot convention in Washington. But that's what millions of folks wanted after eight years of President Obama and creeping government control.

So Trump won, and so did voters who cared about economic freedom and obeying the law. President Trump ran the economy efficiently, stopped border anarchy, and supported law enforcement.

Now, we have a divided country once again, but I'm not so sure many of my countrymen understand the Biden experience. Yes, working folks are suffering economically. Certainly, the criminal justice system is in tatters. And culturally, Mr. Biden has largely defined his opposition as anti-democracy.

So you would think the President and his progressive allies would be done; I mean, how much more evidence is needed before voters revolt against bad policies and foolish rhetoric?

But I don't see the revolt, especially in the big cities. I see acceptance of terrible policies and incompetent leadership.

This November 8, I hope I'm wrong.

A Blood Feud

2022-09-07T14:25:00Z

As we reported last night, it is President Biden himself directing the attempted takedown of Donald Trump. Usually, Mr. Biden is disengaged from policy, doing what his far-left handlers want. Not this time.

The President wants the Justice Department to indict Trump before the midterm election, believing many independent voters will turn against Republican candidates, especially those who support Trump.

So, it's going to be a blood feud between the two presidents. We'll continue our reporting tonight on the No Spin News.

The Politicized FBI

2022-09-06T14:36:00Z

It is clear to me that America's most important law enforcement agency, the FBI, is no longer able to function as a defender of equal justice for all.

Not even going to bother with the partisan corruption of former chief James Comey. He's gone, and the Bureau should have reorganized under Christopher Wray. It has not. It remains politicized and incompetent on some major stories.

For example, the FBI cannot even find the Supreme Court leaker. Why? Because it doesn't want to.

We'll devote some time tonight on the No Spin News to this situation. We have exclusive information about the Trump raid and Hunter Biden. See you beginning at six eastern this evening.

Foolish Mistakes

2022-09-02T07:00:00Z

Recently we began a series of reports called "Smart Life" on BillOReilly.com, and the initial results are excellent. Basically, we are looking for money-saving strategies and safe investments to make your life easier.

But there is a social angle to living a "smart life" as well, and that's becoming increasingly important in America. Making foolish mistakes today can lead to misery. More than ever before, foolish decisions will hurt you.

Driving intoxicated can derail your entire life. Trusting someone with your money without legal documentation is simply insane. Acting impulsively in public will come back to punish you. It's almost guaranteed.

Therefore, personal discipline is needed in daily life. Do you really need that tattoo or that drug? Is it smart to confide personal information to another person? How about your job - are you giving your best effort or gaming the system?

Never before has our society been more complicated and uncertain. Life is becoming exceedingly difficult. Many of us, especially younger Americans, are ill-equipped to face adversity.

Living a smart life is hard as everything worthwhile is. But if you don't try to do that - expect to experience major pain.

A Test of Sanity

2022-09-01T07:00:00Z

The midterm elections will test the sanity of Americans as our country is suffering under progressive leadership. There are no two sides to this story. The violent crime wave and the punishing inflation rate are both the result of far-left "leadership." So is the open border disaster.

One wonders what an ad campaign for Democrats would look like. "Vote for me if you want to go broke and become a crime victim!"

Sound good?

Ardent liberals are pinning their faint midterm election hopes on abortion and climate change. But with working people getting hammered and the inner-city poor in actual physical danger, social issues will not obscure incompetence.

And sadly, for him, many progressives have given up on President Biden. It is over for him.

The only thing that might rally the left is Donald Trump officially declaring his candidacy for President. Maybe his slogan will be: "Grover Cleveland came back, so can I!"

If Mr. Trump announces prematurely, Democrats and their trusty media allies will make the November vote all about him in an attempt to obscure the real issues. That worked with Biden.

Right now, Mr. Trump is leading Republican polling by a significant margin. He should wait to throw in with old Grover.

Racist Policies

2022-08-31T07:00:00Z

The brutal truth is that racism does exist in America, and the media is a major driver of it.

Many traditional and social media outlets are conduits of race charges - that is, they allow people to call other people "racist."

How often have you seen that happen? It is revolting.

True racism is denying a human being freedom and fairness because of ethnicity or skin color. Want to see it vividly portrayed? Watch the film "Schindler's List."

Here in the USA, the most destructive racism is in our criminal justice system. Let's take the largest city in the country, New York, as an example. Sixty-seven percent of murder victims in NYC are African-Americans. Six percent are white.

Why? Because blacks are killing blacks. Sixty-four percent of murder suspects are African-American. And the white-dominated state government in Albany does not care a whit. Governor Kathy Hochul and her progressive crew have made it far easier for criminals to hurt innocent people. That's what the irresponsible "No Bail" law has accomplished.

Racist policies get people killed. Thousands of blacks are dying in American cities. And the media, as well as powerful politicians, stand silent.
