John Legend (big time lib) is doing this.

Thank God for people like Bobby Caldwell and Vanessa Williams.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan joined “CBS This Morning” to discuss his new book. I liked that Dolan at the start schooled one of the hosts that when it comes to sex scandals, it’s not just Catholics.

Watch. Dolan dodges nothing.

ALSO, FROM 2015: It is time for Protestants who have complacently dismissed church abuse as a “Catholic problem” to face the reality that abuse is endemic across denominations.

We were spared, for now. Not these folks.

More from the capital city…

Just a few days ago in Madison…

In Sheboygan this morning…

Full disclosure: I worked at WUWM from May of 1978 to August of 1989 when my contract was not renewed. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at WUWM and have great memories. Being dismissed wasn’t fun. But at the time I didn’t realize the station actually did me  a favor. I jumped immediately to WTMJ.

Public radio is very, very liberal. Like most media outlets that share that philosophy they’re in complete denial.  Granted, public radio can crank out high quality stuff. Or they can be a complete bore.

I hated on-air fundraisers where it was mandated I participate by going on live radio to literally beg for cash. We’d get calls saying we were already funded by the taxpayers. One of the callers suggested we needed to be off the air because our funding was being hijacked from folks who didn’t agree with the station’s or the network’s (National Public Radio, NPR) views or style of reporting. Maybe he was right.

From today’s read by Joel Belz, founder of the website WORLD:

“Thanks very much,” said the impassioned radio announcer as I tuned in right at the end of her plea, “for your calls, for your concern, and for your prayers.”

For your prayers?

That was a little much—there are two big reasons I don’t want NPR to prosper. 

Read the entire column here.

This one’s for you. But you probably won’t get it, or care.

Naturally, the anti-Trump news media is sympathetic.

The Washington Post is under fire, and rightfully so, after a headline characterized the Islamic State leader who was killed in a U.S. raid over the weekend as an “austere religious scholar.” The headline was quickly changed. But the Post’s true sentiments were revealed.

“He was a sick and depraved man, and now he’s dead … He’s dead as a doornail, and he didn’t die bravely either,” said President Trump.

Should be roundly commended as a great moment for our country and the world. But CNN quotes Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware criticizing the president for this reason. He didn’t tell Nancy.

“There is a long tradition of the President notifying leaders in Congress of both parties when there’s a sensitive operation underway,” said Coons. “But to disrespect the Speaker of the House, who is in the direct line of succession to the President, and to not inform bipartisan leaders in Congress, to only inform a few Republicans, I think was just one more important norm of cooperation shattered by this President.”

At the risk of sounding not all that analytical, oh well, too bad.

Some on the left, not all, are bemoaning the choice of words by the president. I’m not.

In case you missed President Trump’s complete statement about the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi…

Watching from the Situation Room.
