Meghan McCain is the best thing to happen to daytime talk in memory. Case in point: this morning McCain put Tamika Mallory’s feet to the fire about her comfortable relationship with known anti-Semite Louis Farakkhan:

.@TamikaDMallory: I didn't call Farrakhan the greatest of all time because of his rhetoric, I called him that because of what he's done for black communities.@MeghanMcCain blasts her for praising him, as well as the rejection of conservative women by @womensmarch pic.twitter.com/8Ez8xgLKif

I’m starting to think so. Here’s a few Monday morning examples:

As I write in @PostOpinions, if Trump isn’t a Russian agent, he’s doing a pretty good imitation of one: https://t.co/jNI2krCF4Z https://t.co/EBIUsLpfUD

There’s a bizarre new push from some in the media to stop carrying the President when he talks. His rallies I could do without, but in advance of his address to the nation tomorrow night about the shutdown and the state of the southern border, media watchers and commentators have been pressuring the networks not to carry the address.

I'm waiting to hear back from ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox broadcast about whether they will carry Trump's prime time address tomorrow night. The networks don't automatically say yes when a president asks for airtime.

The Daily Caller has a heartbreaking and eye-opening piece I wanted to flag for Ricochet members and readers. Hannah Grossman describes the real story behind one of those race videos you may have seen around.

On a midsummer day in July, Darsell Obregon ducked under an apartment building to shelter herself from the rain while waiting for an Uber. Minutes later, the front door swung open and out walked a 19-year-old girl who demanded that Obregon leave the premises immediately. The resident’s name is Arabelle Torres, a 19-year-old student at Brooklyn College who also has autism.

So … “journalist” Jamal Khashoggi, who got whacked by the Saudis, is revealed to have had a relationship with the Qatari government than seems to have gone beyond showing up at the Embassy’s lamb-kabob blowouts. From the Washington Post:

Text messages between Khashoggi and an executive at Qatar Foundation International show that the executive, Maggie Mitchell Salem, at times shaped the columns he submitted to the Washington Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi government. Khashoggi also appears to have relied on a researcher and translator affiliated with the organization, which promotes Arabic-language education in the United States.
