The CBS News program "Sunday Morning" has been hailed as one of the "crown jewels" of the network -- which means it's larded with liberal bias. Last year, it was a conveyor belt of Democrats.

They aired puffball interviews with Pete Buttigieg, Doug Emhoff, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Kamala Harris. So it was typical when ...Read more

It was Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in characteristic candor. If, as Milton Friedman argued, you can't have open borders and ...Read more

Donald Trump has trampled on another taboo, and it's a good thing.

In 1980, America's publicly held debt reached more than $712 billion (about $2.8 trillion in 2025 dollars), or roughly 25% of annual U.S. GDP. Today, that figure is a little over $30 trillion, or around 100% of GDP. And as the federal debt grew 42 times larger over that span, the economy grew only tenfold. You can't expand the numerator four ...Read more
