America weakened by bullying, hatred and media hypocrisy

America weakened by bullying, hatred and media hypocrisy By Ray Hanania Despite the misleading rantings and personal attacks from people on the Left, who believe stating “facts” is the same thing as “having” facts, former President Donald Trump is positioned to easily win the Republican Party nomination next year.

The more they pick on Trump, the more his chances of winning improve

The more they pick on Trump, the more his chances of winning improve By Ray Hanania Nothing distracts people from the failings of a politician more than when the news media exaggerates its hate against that politician. That’s the case with Donald Trump, who was a mediocre president who couldn’t stop himself from engaging in…

Both sides have issues in Rittenhouse trial but the Left is worse By Ray Hanania The Kyle Rittenhouse trial and case were turned into a political weapon to fuel the ugly polarization that has divided this country politically.

The fight against extremism in Illinois

The fight against extremism in Illinois Extremism is the real challenging facing America and Illinois. The fanatics on the Far Right and the Far Left are the real threat.

Media falls asleep under Biden administration

Posted on June 26, 2021July 13, 2021 By Ray Hanania

Media falls asleep under Biden administration The news media was hard on Trump and soft on Biden. When Trump did things wrong or things that the media disliked, he was attacked viciously. There is no such judgment on Biden who can pretty much say anything, make any mistake and not face the media scrutiny or…

Divided America is a long way from healing and unity

Divided America is a long way from healing and unity Despite the sincere words of President Joe Biden, it is doubtful he will be able to unite America and bring the two asides, pro-Trump and pro-Biden, together.
