Politically, things are really bad or really good in the U.S., depending on which TV station you watch.

I won't tell you whether things are better of worse in The Bipolar President. You'll have to decide for yourself.

@MegynKellyShow @megynkelly @jaketapper Very glad, Megyn, that you had Tapper on. You asked the tough questions. You are a good journalist.

I thought you came across as too strident, though, at least in this snippet. You interrupted his answers, making him look like the good guy.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@megynkelly @drdavidsamadi At some point, the Dems will realize that lying isn't a good way to go about staying in power. Keep doing this, Dems, and we'll be down to one viable party by 2028.

@BronGotGame A battle with Embiid? Hate to say it -- I'm a Sixers fan -- but the battle is over and Jokic won.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@ToneDigz Clearly auditioning for the Phils. Hey, we'll take him.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@allenanalysis Agree, Brian. Not right getting on a guy with Stage 4 cancer. Fair game to criticize the media and Democratic Party for trying to hide Biden's mental decline.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@GrrrGraphics Terrible.

Jan. 6 was Trump's attempt to invalidate the 2020 election. He was unsuccessful. But the Dems, in effect, successfully invalidated the election by having unelected officials run the country while Biden lost his ability to govern.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@ChrisDJackson Smear book? He's just telling a truth many of us knew going into that debate. Too bad -- and unprofessional -- that Tapper and many of his media brethren didn't do their duty and inform the public while Biden was in office.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@BenShapiroShow Peace. What a concept. Trump has made more progress toward peace the Middle East in four months than Biden made in four years.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@SenFettermanPA Fetterman, who the Dems liked when he was running for the Senate but dislike now because of his stance on Israel, sees things clearly. One of the few in his party who does.

Karl-Anthony Towns on Jayson Tatum’s potential Achilles injury:

“I’ve been in a situation like that with my calf. If you saw, I just walked up, obviously respectful of his space. I just put my head down and prayed to my mother, prayed to God to put protection over him and comfort, whatever the injury may be. I hope it’s minor.”

Respect to KAT, & get well soon, Jayson Tatum! 🙏

@eaglesmuse_ Move over, Tom Brady. There's a new GOAT in town.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@EdFromDelco How about Tommy MacDonald? I know he played a long time ago, but he serves to be on the wide receiver Mount Rushmore ahead of Devonta Smith and, probably, DeSean Jackson.

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@SenFettermanPA This is the guy who is being crucified lately for mental issues?

The Democrats who won't support Israel and could be behind the recent hit campaign on Fetterman are the ones with the problem.

Bored with real politics?

Try my fictional political drama, The Bipolar President. It will entertain you, at least until Trump's next tweet.

4.5 Amazon rating.

@big_business_ Stephen A. playing Stephen A. on TV. Not a stretch, but very nice job.

Next up: the Democratic primaries? I don't see a more electable Democratic candidate out there and it wouldn't be the first time a TV personality made his way to the White House.

We’ve seen more hit pieces on Fetterman’s “health” in 4 days from legacy media than we did on Joe Biden’s health in 4 years. Wonder why?

[Chris Morkides @CMorkides]

@SW1TCHBLXDE Objectively awful? Did they change the definition of "objectively?" Tatum is terrific. So is Embiid...when healthy.

“Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,

My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.

On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.

For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.

So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.

This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.

You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.

Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.

This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.”
