Inside the Mind of a NYT Editor
"Thanks to this interview, we finally got a glimpse of one of the little known editors making the Times as ridiculously biased as it is, and it turns out, she’s not some seasoned Machiavellian manipulator, she’s an idiot."

Worse Than the Third World? Trump Exposes Mind-Blowing Election Compromising and Cheating – PJ Media . . . "The president also mentioned a review from the Department of Homeland Security revealing almost 300,000 non-citizen names on voter rolls, which they believe is only the tip of the iceberg, since Democrat states have so far refused to share their data.
"The most disgraceful part is just how many Americans were willing to work with foreign enemies to steal our elections. "In mid-2018, China was working to influence the results of the U.S. midterm elections, and later the results of the 2020 presidential election itself. Separately, in mid-2019, the Chinese government's strategy against the United States was focused on undermining domestic confidence in the U.S. president," Trump disclosed. "The strategy included efforts to use Chinese contacts with big U.S. companies to influence U.S. business leaders to turn against the president of the United States of America." Furthermore, "The Chinese government sought to identify U.S. journalists who had reported negatively on the U.S. president, and pay them large sums of money."
"Our media and Deep State were selling America to our worst foes. "Put together, these disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it," Trump declared. "Hundreds of millions of U.S. voter files are in the hands of foreign governments. Our machines and ballot counting systems are exposed to hacking, manipulation, and corruption. China and other countries have been trying to meddle in our elections. Evidence of fraud has been buried. Hundreds of thousands of non-citizens and dead people are listed and active on the voter rolls, and yet we still have elections with no voter ID, no proof of citizenship, and tens of millions of ballots floating aimlessly through the mail." That is indeed a situation that belongs to a Third World hellhole, not to the USA."
Trump Unleashes Election Intel: China Stole 220 Million Voter Files, Deep State Cover-Up "In a highly-anticipated primetime speech Thursday night, President Donald Trump announced "the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure," including evidence of "China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files" in the 2020 election, and a DHS evaluation of state voter rolls and public records revealed that 278,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in federal elections.
"Those documents have all been posted to the White House's website. (For the readers who might need to be spoon-fed, you need to navigate down to the bottom of each of the four sections and look for the part that says "Documents" and then "ZIP" and download it.)" . . .
Not A Single Democrat Attended Senate Fraud Hearing
"Senate Democrats were absent from a Wednesday hearing focused on allegations of widespread fraud involving government programs and election-related activity. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held the hearing without any Democratic members in attendance, according to a post shared on X. The witnesses included journalist Nick Shirley and activist journalist James O’Keefe, […]"

Report: Taco Bell Lettuce Supplier Identified as Possible Source of Cyclosporiasis Outbreak
Democrats fervently hope the source is tied to Republicans somehow. Anyhow.
"More states are now reporting Cyclospora infections as health officials continue searching for the source behind a growing outbreak that has now spread across 38 states. Michigan remains the hardest hit with more than 1,500 reported…
As of July 14, nearly 7,000 cases of cyclosporiasis have been reported by at least 34 states, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC believes 400 of these cases in four states — Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky — are connected as part of a large, multistate outbreak, it said in a health alert on Tuesday.
Cyclosporasis cases normally increase in the U.S. during the warmer months, according to the CDC. But the recent surge has sparked concern.
“Cases are simply exploding across the country,” NBC medical contributor and ER physician Dr. John Torres said on TODAY in a July 14 segment. At least 141 people have been hospitalized so far." . . .

UPDATED: Lettuce at Taco Bell confirmed as a source of diarrhea-causing outbreak | AP News . . . "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention late Thursday warned consumers not to eat shredded iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. A record number of cyclospora cases have been reported in more than 30 states, and experts have said not every recent U.S. illness might be caused by a single source.
"A Food and Drug Administration investigation so far has identified a single supplier of the lettuce. The federal warnings to consumers did not identify the company, but Taylor Fresh Foods, of Salinas, California, said FDA testing indicated it was “a specific independent farm” affiliated with the company.
"The FDA was working with the supplier “to determine if potentially contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce remains on the market,” including in other states, the CDC said. “Taco Bell has committed to stop using any lettuce from the supplier identified by FDA’s traceback investigation.” . . .
"Taylor Farms also was tied to a 2013 cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to salad mix and a 2024 E. coli outbreak tied to onions served at McDonald’s."
Fetterman draws red line for Democratic Party, says he would leave if it abandons Israel
"The warning comes the same day that over 100 House Democrats voted against sending more aid to Israel, though the amendment containing the proposal failed to pass because of wide Republican support."
“As a Democrat, I am angry at people like Bernie Sanders, that pushed that accused rapist. Why did so many people on that left embrace that accused rapist?” he asked. “What was the appeal? Was it no record in public service? Was it the record of the Nazi ink? Was it the crazy things he said online?
"Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman issued a warning to the Democratic Party on Wednesday, stating that he would leave it if the party officially turns its back on Israel.
"The warning comes the same day that over 100 House Democrats voted against sending more aid to Israel, though the amendment containing the proposal failed to pass because of wide Republican support.
“If our party ever becomes — and just makes it official — the anti-Israel party, that’s when I would leave because that’s been a moral clarity for me,” Fetterman said during an interview at the Hill Nation Summit in Washington.
The senator claimed he could not understand why the Democratic Party, which shares a lot of similarities with Israel, would turn against the country and that he fears the long-term trajectory for Democrats, who have been more vocally against Israel amid a rise in progressivism among the party.
“My long-term concern has been with the Democratic Party, as I am a member of that, is that our party is going to back away and turn their back to Israel,” he said. “You look at the kinds of individuals that are winning our recent primaries, it’s becoming more anti-Israel and hostile to [pro-Israel] people." . . .

"A virtual cottage industry has emerged among people finding James Talarico clips espousing everything from declaring his campaign meat-free to there being six genders to God being non-binary. One recently uncovered video from a meet-and-greet, however, attracted my interest and deepened my concerns about Talarico. It shows Talarico explaining why sweeping gun control laws do not violate the Second Amendment. The reason, he declared, is that the Second Amendment expressly embraces gun controls by referring to the right as “well regulated.”
"In the clip, Talarico mocks those opposing gun control measures and bans as not taking the time to actually read the Amendment:
“A lot of politicians like to talk about the Second Amendment. Very few have actually read the Second Amendment, because, if they did, they would know that the words ‘well regulated’ are right there in the text of the amendment itself.”
"What he omits is the word following “well regulated”: “militia.”
"It is hardly a long read, so here is the language:
- “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
"The term “well regulated” was not a reference to regulation in the contemporary sense. It was used to mean orderly or well-maintained. Militias were considered the backbone of the American military, particularly by those who feared a standing army. Some militias were less capable than others in the Revolutionary War. A well-regulated militia meant state militias that were combat-ready.
"The individual right to possess guns was viewed as central to maintaining such militias. However, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that a “well regulated militia” was not a limitation but a justification for the individual right." . . .

STUDY: Be My (Leftist) Guest: PBS's Liberal-Conservative Disparity Tops 5-1
Kaitlan Collins once told an interviewer she welcomed guests from both liberal and conservative views. We have to discover for ourselves how each side was treated in her interviews and what sort of rebuttal guests were on the show with them. TD
STUDY: Be My (Leftist) Guest Once Again:
KEY FINDINGS:
■ Liberal-Democratic guests outnumbered conservative-Republican guests by 234-45, a ratio of 5.2 to 1.
■ Of 22 appearances by Republican officials and appointees, seven were coded as anti-Trump. Of 31 appearances by Democrats, only one was coded as pro-Trump.
■ When elected officials and appointees were removed from the guest count, the ideological disparity becomes even more striking, with liberal-leaning guests outnumbering conservative-leaning guests 203-23, a ratio of 8.8 to 1.
■ Liberal-leaning journalists made 40 appearances as guests, compared to 0 appearances by conservative-leaning journalists.
"On a few occasions, liberal guests appeared, but their statements were fairly neutral information and analysis, so they were not included in the tally, including pro-abortion academic Mary Ziegler and China expert Orville Schell." . . .
Democrat Attorneys General Sue to Block Paramount CNN Merger Over Bias Concerns
. . ."Giggle when they call themselves the “mainstream media.” At CBS, arrogant leftists like 60 Minutes activists Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi throwing fits of insubordination and getting fired was meant to imply there’s been a massive sea change in what people see when they tune in on Sunday nights. Once again, viewers haven’t seen a massive change in their stories. But leftists cannot abide anyone even questioning their aggressive partisanship to steer America toward that “right side of history.'”
Nets Kowtow to AOC, Refuse to Air Trump Speech but Offer Rebuttals
. . . "One part of the speech that really stood out to me was his devastating attack on much of the nation’s media, which has become more and more politically biased to the Left over the decades, to the point where almost nobody even disputes it anymore. We all know it’s true, and to pretend otherwise anymore makes you look like a fool.
"Between pushing the fake Russia collusion hoax, COVID misinformation, Joe Biden’s “excellent” mental health, and so much more — while repressing real discussion on vaccine questions, Democratic Socialists’ extremist and often violent rhetoric, etc. — they have done serious damage to the country, and I agree with a tweet by the RNC tonight: they have become the “ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.”
"If you don’t think they openly put their thumbs on the scale, note this: as our Ward Clark reported earlier Thursday, two major networks, ABC and NBC, announced they were refusing to air the speech — before he had even begun delivering it. CNN covered it as a "news event," while MS NOW cut away, as you will see in a moment." . . .
MSDNC — which a few call "MS NOW" but many others call "group therapy for the mentally deranged" — cut out immediately as @POTUS started to describe shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure. See Jen Psaki's denial.
NBC, ABC, and CNN Blacked Out the President's Speech, So Aunt Mary and Uncle John Deleted THEM
. . . "Have you met my Uncle John and Aunt Mary? John and Mary are no simps. I've known my Uncle John for my whole life and my Aunt Mary for most of it, and the thing is, they saw the stories coming out over the last couple of years about election issues, including no voter ID, bums being paid to register to vote (how you doin', Brenda?), and "China printed how many ballots?" stories this whole time, which were already UNDERreported by the mainstream media. But surely, they thought, Trump's bringing the receipts. "This is gonna be big!'" . . .
"But in some ways, CNN was the worst, revealing more than it probably intended when it explained why it didn't air the speech.
