The Washington Evening Star, was a national correspondent for
The Baltimore Sun, and wrote the “White House Watch” column for
The New Republic.
The Weekly Standard that, like
The New Republic in its prime, exercised an influence far out of proportion to its modest subscriber base. Some 23 years later, after the magazine folded, Fred moved over to the
Washington Examiner.
While his roots lay with the written word, Fred Barnes has also excelled in the broadcast media, serving as a regular panelist on the PBS show “The McLaughlin Group” and a co-host and commentator on Fox News. You may have even seen his cameo in the sci-fi film
Liz Cheney, newly ousted from the House Republican leadership, is battling back through the media.
She launches a blitz this week that runs from the Today show to Fox’s Special Report, casting herself as the leader of a new movement within the Republican Party.
But is she?
And will it amount to much?
In telling Savannah Guthrie to bring it on! , the Wyoming congresswoman has unfurled a giant banner for the anti-Trump troops to march behind. But there just aren’t that many of them in the GOP, which is dominated by the former president.
And that leaves Cheney close to politically homeless. While liberals and much of the media have embraced her, some of them can’t abide her hawkish policies, and have crusaded against them since her father was vice president. So Kevin McCarthy led the effort to dump her, but most Democrats can’t quite embrace her.
Bono was awarded the inaugural George W. Bush Medal for Distinguished Leadership Thursday, with the former president honoring the U2 singer for his work in combatting the HIV/AIDS crisis and poverty in Africa.
Bush responded, The truth of the matter is, [PEPFAR] never would have made it out of Congress had you not been engaged. The first time I met you, you knew more statistics, like you were coming right out of the CIA.
Bush added, Here s the thing about Bono that people got to understand: I like to say he s a real deal. This is a guy who has got a huge heart, obviously a talent, but cares so much about the human condition that he spends an enormous amount of time and capital on saving lives.
ANSWER: “Sen. Tim Scott, Republican from South Carolina.”
QUESTION: “Who will loads of Republicans support for president in 2024?”
I know this because … I am Carnac the Magnificent! Also because Republicans have latched onto a black candidate for president every four years, pretty much throughout my entire adult life. I’m one of those Republicans, having enthusiastically supported Alan Keyes in at least one of his three presidential runs, Herman Cain in 2012 (9-9-9!) and Ben Carson, as my backup to Trump, in 2016.
Other black Republicans who were in the words of Michael Kinsley “drooled over” by the GOP include Colin Powell (the Weekly Standard’s choice for the 1996 contest), Condoleezza Rice (supported by Dick Morris and Rush Limbaugh as our 2008 nominee), and Allen West (Glenn Beck’s choice in 2012). The rational reason for this is that no black person in modern America casually rolls into being a Republican. I never really gave it much thought, but all m
