The Press Is Back In Full Frenzy Mode, But This Time Nobody Is Listening

 Issues & Insights  

"But what else can the mainstream press do? After having predicted the end of democracy and the rise of “fascism” should Trump be elected, or reelected, they have a vested interest in proving themselves right."

"You’d think the mainstream press would have learned a lesson or two after committing so many embarrassing mistakes in its effort to “get” Donald Trump and cover up for Joe Biden over the past eight years. But no. It’s already back to its old and terrible habits.

"Shortly after the election, Vanity Fair published a story that led with this admonition to the press: “Every outrage and insult can’t be a five-alarm fire, as it’s critical for the media to stay focused on the most serious threats to America’s democratic institutions.”

"Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson cautioned her colleagues to “watch and restrain headlines on stories that are needlessly hyperbolic or over-the-top negative.”

"Brian McGory, former Boston Globe editor, said it’s “time to cover his actions and policies, his successes and his failures. To do it through as conventional a lens as possible, while not normalizing mayhem, and a willingness to acknowledge when things go well.”

"But instead of heeding this advice, the mainstream press went right back to its frantic Trump-hating roots.

"News stories assume the absolute worst about Trump. Reporters run with thinly sourced stories to attack him. They freak out about everything he says. Stoke panic at every turn. Endlessly predict doom and gloom. Play up astroturf protests. And studiously ignore whatever successes Trump does achieve. When context is needed, it’s ignored.

"This makes it all but impossible for the average American to know what they can trust, or when there actually is something to be concerned about. When everything is a crisis, nothing is.

"When rogue federal judges started routinely issuing universal injunctions against Trump executive orders, a practice that is legally suspect and was extremely rare until Trump showed up, the story wasn’t how these judges wildly overstepped their bounds, it’s that Trump was creating a “constitutional crisis.' ” . . .

David Hogg Ignites CIVIL WAR In Democrat Party, Senator QUITS, Party In Chaos & Facing COLLAPSE

Whatfinger News   

"I'm trying to figure out where David Hogg actually got $100,000 to donate. How did he get so rich? I know he sold a book that made it to the NY Best Sellers list, but he promised to donate all of that money. He also started a pillow company but resigned from there shortly afterwards. His dad was an FBI agent and his mom was a teacher. Where did all his money come from?"

• Reminder that David Hogg was in a different building on campus during that school sh***ing, and he left school, went home, then came back an hour later to play victim for the cameras
• I bought my first AR15 because of Hogg…. I even named it “The Hogg”
• Conservatives warned democrats not to get in bed with the communists and extremists.
• As a downstate conservative, and a Boomer, getting rid of Durbin can only be a good thing. Now to get rid of Pritzker. Let’s keep Hogg, he is Trump’s secret weapon.
• This is why every Republican and conservative wanted Hogg to win. He will further the demise of the Democrat Party. Such a great thing to see LMAO
• David Hogg is the political equivalent of the Bud Light marketing whiz girl who decided to dump their customer base and go after a new trans market.
• Democrats are basically the defense attorney. Most of what they do annoys me. But if they completely collapse, well, it’s not ideal. I want them to be better, I don’t want them to disappear. Except… I’d take them being replaced by the libertarian party, that might not be so bad. In fact, that might be the best thing that could happen to this country.
• Never get in the way of your enemy making a mistake. Let him talk along with AOC. Loving every minute of it. He will end up a marked man.
• This morning my wife(Hispanic) was talking about the”Maryland man” in reference to her sister being afraid of getting deported despite being born in the US and her family being American citizens for several generations. I pushed back and told her I still had his court documents on my pc from when I was looking into the story of she’d like to see them so she can be informed on the facts. She just dismissed it and said I wasn’t afraid because I’m white.
• How does a little kid get that much money? Was it his inserting himself into a school shooting by riding his bike TO THE SCHOOL? Was it his fbi dad? Where did this money come from.

History’s Biggest Liars?

 Issues & Insights  

When we think of some of the biggest lies in our history – the income tax will be levied only on the richest few, Social Security is a good deal from the New Deal, Stalin’s Soviet Union was a fine place, Joe Biden is in great health, the coronavirus posed an existential threat to billions and wasn’t cooked up in a Chinese lab – where do we rank the climate fearmongering?

"The “experts” who have told us that man-made climate change is a grave threat must have stumbled across the Winston Churchill comment about duplicity, because they know the truth has a hard time catching up to lies. They’ve also relied on lying by omission, an offense that can’t be blamed on innocent oversight.

"One of Churchill’s greatest quips warns us that “a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” Propagandists know this is true.

"Fabulists also lie by leaving out important facts. Such as burying the medieval warm period. Former University of Alabama assistant geological sciences professor Matthew Wielicki explained in a Substack post the day before Earth Day how “the deliberate erasure of past climatic states” is used “to support alarmist conclusions.”

“Every year, new temperature records are breathlessly announced as though the planet is plunging into uncharted climate chaos. Mainstream headlines proclaim things like ‘Humanity just lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years’ or ‘This year virtually certain to be warmest in 125,000 years, EU scientists say.’ We’re told, often without context or qualification, that the warming we’re experiencing is unlike anything seen in hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years.”

"Of course these assertions deserve our suspicion, because “climate authorities, especially the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), built their entire narrative on the selective memory of Earth’s climate past,” says Wielicki, who considers himself an “Earth science professor-in-exile,” which of course is what happens when researchers stray from the climate alarmist narrative." . . .

To win midterms, Democrats must confront 2024 failures

 UnHerd  

"And to “win back the young people” who’ve drifted to the Republicans, they chose David Hogg, an obnoxiously ultra-left young man, as one of their vice chairs. Because if only young lefties knew what party to vote for."  Comment.

"This week, California Governor Gavin Newsom sat for an interview where he chastised Democrats for refusing to explore last year’s loss. Speaking with The Hill, he said: “We have not done a forensic of what just went wrong, period, full stop. I don’t think it — I know it”.

"Many people have called on the party to examine what went wrong and figure out a better path forward. So far, there’s little sign the party plans to do this. And given the frenetic start to Trump’s second term, many Democrats have already pivoted from introspection into resistance mode.

"In lieu of an official party autopsy, we must rely on a handful of outside views about where the party has gone wrong. Initial polling after the election indicated that Kamala Harris was inhibited not only by inflation but by voters’ perceptions that she and the Democrats held extreme views on social and cultural matters, such as immigration and trans issues. This was confirmed by Blue Rose Research, led by David Shor, which found that Democrats are seen as too liberal for a centre-right country and have lost trust on key issues like Social Security and education.

"At minimum, these findings mean that the party needs to get more comfortable running candidates with unorthodox views in harder-to-win places. But they must also ask how a vocal minority pushed them too far Left. If the party fails to fully reckon with the reasons for its loss, they’re likely to continue having trouble winning national elections — including possibly next year’s midterms.

"As the Blue Rose postmortem (and plenty of pre-election analysis) showed, Democrats have serious structural vulnerabilities that have gone unaddressed for many years. For example, the party has been steadily shedding support from non-white and working-class voters for more than a decade. Both were core parts of the post-Second World War Democratic coalition, and their growing struggles with these voters have made them less competitive in key states. Working-class voters, specifically, are a major cause of concern.

Colorado Transgender Bill Is Too Radical to Believe; Parents who refuse to support transgender ideology shouldn’t lose custody of their children.

 The American Spectator  "A proposed Colorado bill could cause parents to lose custody of their children if they refuse to affirm their child’s “gender identity.” The bill, HB25-1312, not only poses significant threats to parental rights but also blatantly contradicts the Constitution. 

"In this episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo criticize the bill, arguing that it will severely harm children. Ellie and Lyrah analyze the bill and discuss how it not only impacts families but also threatens school systems and the press."

Watch the discussion here.

Colorado bill to strip custody from parents for misgendering children – Deseret News   "A bill in Colorado is making its way through the state legislature that would create legal grounds for the state to revoke custody of parents who misgender their children.

"The bill is called the Kelly Loving Act, named after a 40-year-old transgender man killed in the Club Q mass shooting in 2022.

"Its text states that “deadnaming, misgendering or threatening to publish material related to an individual’s gender-affirming health-care services” will be deemed “coercive control” and will influence the court “when making child custody decisions and determining the best interests of a child for purposes of parenting time.”

"If a child’s parents are split between Colorado and another state, the bill adds that Colorado courts shall not enforce the other state’s laws if they attempt to take the child away from the parent who is providing the child with “gender-affirming care.”

"In short, if parents call their child by the wrong name or fail to use their preferred pronouns, they could be liable to lose custody.

How has similar legislation played out elsewhere

"Canada pioneered this type of legislation before the U.S., and one notable case resulted in a father’s six-month prison sentence and a $30,000 fine for misgendering his teenage daughter, as reported by the National Post.

"The man, who chose to remain anonymous, discussed his situation with political podcaster Matt Walsh in 2022.

" 'It’s considered criminal violence to not use the preferred pronouns,” the man explained. “It’s no different, let’s say, than if I were to take a broomstick and whack one of my kids over the head. So they were treating it in a similar fashion that misgendering, mispronouning my child was the equivalent of family violence.”

"More recently in 2024, California passed Assembly Bill 1955, prohibiting school districts from adopting policies that require teachers or administrators to tell anyone, including parents, when a student changes their gender identity.

"The president of the California Family Council, Jonathan Keller, called the new law “a direct assault on the safety of children and the rights of their parents.”

"“By allowing schools to withhold vital information from mothers and fathers, this bill undermines their fundamental role and places boys and girls in potential jeopardy,” he stated."...

LA government sends out ‘brush clearance’ warnings to property owners…months after their homes and businesses burned down

 Olivia Murray  

"Only the government would have the audacity to demand responsibility while it remains the epitome of irresponsibility." 

Image generated by AI.

"I wish I could remember who, but someone I recently corresponded with through American Thinker told me about a book called Bureaucratic Bombs by J.B. Morris, which detailed a collection of “true stories from America’s self-serving city”—so I immediately bought it and read it.

"The beginning of the book includes a number of quotes from media personalities, politicians, and federal workers, one of which was particularly striking, from Jay Leno: “Obama said if you are having trouble with the Obamacare website you can apply by mail. Only the federal government would develop a website that is slower than the mail.”

“ 'Only the government” is quite a condemnatory observation, and here’s the latest example, from Joel Pollak’s new item at Breitbart News: “L.A. Sends Brush Clearance Notices to Palisades Property Owner — After Building Burned Down”.

"Pollak reports that Larry Larson, owner of a 47-unit apartment complex that burned down almost four months ago, just received a “brush clearance” warning from the Los Angeles Fire Department, reminding the landlord that uncleared brush is a fire hazard and making sure properties are clear of dead brush is a “year-round” responsibility. And, “The LAFD also notified the building manager, separately, of the need to renew the building’s fire prevention certification.”

"Only the government could be so slow, inefficient, and incompetent that they spend tax payer dollars to print up the notices, pay for postage, and dispatch manpower to remind private sector workers to remain compliant with bureaucratic rules and regulations.

"Only the government would send out brush clearance notices months after one of the most devastating fires in American history." . . .

Ann Coulter: Give Us The Money! Harvard Fights for Us All

 Ann Coulter

  "In the face of Trump’s approval rating soaring with every planeload of illegals he sends to El Salvador, Democrats have hit on the perfect response." 

Margolis & Cox

"Amid the boredom of a non-Christian pope’s death and the media’s obsession with the Signal messaging app, I found myself reading about Pearl Harbor this week. It seems that as hell rained down, Marines, sailors, firemen and civilians grabbed their guns and began firing wildly in the sky at the Japanese planes.

"And none of those pilots was given due process.

"Obviously, the traditional history of Pearl Harbor is all wrong. It’s not about a sneak attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The real story is that there was ZERO due process. Americans just shot at the pilots on the theory that they were enemy aliens, but with no proof, certainly no proof that would satisfy a New York Times editor.

"Not only that, but none of the Japanese pilots was given a lawyer, and there were no hearings whatsoever and no official adjudication of their guilt. I’m sure one or two of those pilots was, “Maryland Man,” “Tennessee Man” or “Ohio Man.”

"Where’s the ACLU? They’ve been asleep at the switch for decades on this denial of constitutional rights. Let me tell you, if Chris Van Hollen had been alive, he would have raised bloody hell.

"That was the day democracy died. At least we can count on Harvard University to stand on its constitutional rights. As President Trump revs up a fleet of Brinks trucks to take away all of Harvard’s money, I came across some documents proving that the Framers anticipated the exact situation Harvard is in right now.

"I’m going to be making the documents public soon, but it’s blindingly clear that both James Madison and Alexander Hamilton were insistent that if an educational institution with a $50 billion endowment, teaching anti-white history and being led by a beclowned plagiarist president, asks for multiple millions of taxpayer dollars, that request shall not be denied.

"The accidentally deleted 11 1/2th Amendment would have read: “Harvard University shall be given as much money as it wants,” and be colloquially known as the “Unf-ngbelievable Entitlement” clause.

"Debate over the 11 1/2th Amendment led to some of the biggest brawls in Philadelphia (until the Eagles won their first Super Bowl), with Hamilton arguing that such a provision would be the dictionary definition of “chutzpah,” and Madison countering that Harvard would be so steeped in Jew-hating that it wouldn’t know what the word meant.

"This is precisely the argument Harvard has made in its brief. Not merely that they are insisting on our money, but that they have a “constitutional” right to it, referring to the college’s “defense of its own constitutional freedoms,” and accusing the government of “punish[ing] Harvard for protecting its constitutional rights.” . . .

To defuse the risk from unvetted illegal migrants, settle the Constitutional questions    "On Sept. 11, 2001, Americans woke up to a dramatic, well-planned attack on their own soil. 

"The subsequent 9/11 Commission reported a group of nineteen foreign individuals entering the U.S. as flight students. 

"Those 19 individuals are now, symbolically, 19 million because the Biden administration opened the southern border to millions of unknown migrants from numerous foreign, some hostile, countries. Some may be technically sophisticated, and trained.  A 9/11-level attack, or worse, could conceivably be organized by some of these individuals who have no legal status here, but who have purported legal rights provided by the progressive political Left." . . . 

Perpetual Victim Michelle Obama Claims That 'Black Women Don't Articulate Their Pain'

Twitchy

"We also laughed out loud at Obama's brother wistfully sighing that men would care ... if they only knew.. . ."  . . ."But we don't want to generalize the way Obama did. This isn't about all black women. It's about her and her perpetual, very vocal victimhood." 

Obama home.

2020: Sadly, the media hasn’t cast a critical eye Michelle’s way ever since. But they’ve done plenty of hit pieces on Melania Trump.

"There's a bit of a corollary to this iron rule, however. And that is, if a leftist claims that there is something they never do, you can be certain they do that thing ALL THE TIME. 

"This was the case yesterday with Michelle Obama. The former First Lady is continually heaped with praise from the left -- to the point where they would all die of ecstasy if she ran for President. She and her husband have amassed a fortune worth more than $70 million off of his presidency (possibly due to the fact that she can make up to $1 million for a single speaking engagement). And they own several multimillion-dollar lavish estates in Chicago, Hawaii, and Martha's Vineyard. 

"But whenever she speaks, she acts like the United States is the most oppressive country in the world, always beating her down and never giving her an opportunity. 

"This makes her comments on the most recent episode of her podcast all the more hilarious. Watch as Obama explains how black women like her NEVER articulate their pain. And even if they do, no one cares." . . .

"Articulate pain"?  Not Maxine Waters? Jasmine Crockett? Joy Reid?

Coachella's Shocking Support for Terrorists After Nova Music Festival Massacre (Language)

Why are we not surprised? The power of Muslim activists aligned with useful idiots on campuses. TD

When Coachella became a stage for terror support  

"The festival's organizers, Goldenvoice and AEG, have deeply harmed the Jewish community and should publicly apologize for their indiscretion. At a time when Jewish communities around the world are still reeling from the trauma of October 7, the decision to give a platform to a band that glorifies terror is not just tone-deaf – it is morally indefensible."

"Israelis and Jews around the world will forever be haunted by what happened at the Nova Music Festival on October 7, when Hamas infiltrated Israel, rampaged through the festival, massacred over 360 concertgoers, and brutally took another 44 hostages. So many innocent, peaceful music lovers had their lives stolen, and the survivors will never be the same.

"To then weaponize a music festival to display hateful imagery or symbolism targeting the Jewish state, especially at an event like Coachella, which is supposed to be about peace and unity, is deeply disturbing.

"During their debut at Coachella in Los Angeles, the anti-Israel Irish band KNEECAP used their stage to project hateful, anti-Israel propaganda. They flashed the words "F**k Israel, Free Palestine" across the screen and led chants of "Free Palestine" before thousands of cheering concertgoers. The propaganda continued with false accusations of genocide and war crimes, the same lies routinely spread by those who support terrorism against Israel.

"This should come as no surprise from KNEECAP, who have a well-documented history of supporting terror groups like Hezbollah during their shows. Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy, has been a US-designated foreign terrorist organization since 1997 and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans. On February 23, 2025, KNEECAP posted a photo of one of its members reading "Voice of Hezbollah: The Statements of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah." Nasrallah was Hezbollah's longtime group leader and was killed by an Israeli airstrike in September 2024. Expressing support for him is equivalent to supporting Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11 terror attacks. In November 2024, KNEECAP waved a Hezbollah flag onstage during a concert in London. The band also expressed support for Hamas on October 7, even as Israel was still counting the bodies of its dead, and again on the one-year anniversary of the massacre." . . .

Kneecap: Sharon Osbourne calls for US visas to be revoked after Coachella

Kneecapping - Wikipedia: . . ."During the Troubles in Northern Ireland, paramilitaries considered themselves to be law enforcers in their own areas. They used limb shootings to 'punish' alleged drug pushers and child molesters. If the crime was considered to be grave, the victim was also shot in the ankles and elbows, leaving them with six gunshot wounds (colloquially known as a six pack).^[5] Approximately 2,500 people were victims of these paramilitary attacks, known as 'punishment shootings' at the time, through the duration of the conflict. Those who were attacked often faced social stigma.^[6]

"The Red Brigades, an Italian militant organization, employed limb shootings (gambizzazioni) to warn their opponents. They used the method to punish at least 75 people up to December 1978.^[7][8]

"The Bangladesh Police have started kneecapping in the country since 2009 to punish the opposition and prevent them from participating in protests against the government. Human Rights Watch (HRW) has published a report on kneecapping in Bangladesh.^{[9]" . . .} This Wikipedia article also accuses the Israelis of kneecapping Hamas members, but the nature of this site makes the accusation suspect as none of the anti-Israel press has made this claim.

Biden and MS-13; never trust the press again

 

Broc Smith

Authors of 2024 expose say Dems need a 'reckoning' on handling of Biden's health  . . ."Multiple prominent Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have been pressed by reporters to defend their previous statements praising Biden for his quick mind. The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and other outlets have revealed that some members of Biden's inner circle were deeply concerned about Biden's mental abilities during his presidency, especially following his debate with then-candidate Donald Trump last June."

CNN Just Pulled the Rug Out From Under CNN's Kaitlan Collins 

If any of these preening prelates of propaganda gave a damn about their reputations, they'd bow and scrape for forgiveness — and I mean that literally — or retire in humiliation from public life completely.  Video

 "A CNN segment this week might have just pulled the rug out from under CNN's own Kaitlan Collins as the network finally gets around to reporting the truth about Joe Biden. A new report on the latest Biden tell-all book is simply devastating when seen alongside a resurfaced clip of Collins last June, lying to her audience about Biden's condition.

" 'President Biden has spent days locked in intense preparation, surrounded by his closest advisors at Camp David," Collins said at the time. "And our sources are telling us tonight that full mock debates are underway — at the podium, under the lights… and as I reported while covering him at the White House, when Biden prepares, he does so incredibly intensively."

"Her sources lied. Collins lied. But Collins was just one among many — and they weren't alone. 

"Anyone watching Biden on TV knew the only thing he did intensely was try to remember how to put one foot in front of the other. Anyone "covering him at the White House" knew that things were even worse than that. 

"Perhaps the only reason Collins isn't the worst reporter in D.C. is that there's no way to pick just one from the incestuous pool of quasi-government spokesmodels who cosplay as journalists on TV." . . .

The Truth About That American Citizen Detained by ICE Comes Out, and Narratives Burn to the Ground

Bonchie; RedState  

If I go up to the cops and tell them I murdered someone and then sign a statement to that effect, they are going to detain me until they figure out what's going on. That's what happened here, and it is not the fault of ICE or CBP that they were lied to. 

"On Friday, the story of an American citizen being held by immigration officials for ten days burst into the political sphere. It was the perfect storm for the press, who were salivating over the opportunity to turn one of the Trump administration's best polling issues into a liability. 

"As the original reporting went, Jose Hermosillo was wrongfully arrested in Albuquerque, NM, and held for over a week despite telling ICE officials that he was an American. It wasn't until his family showed up with a birth certificate and a Social Security card that he was released. 

"On its face, this seemed like a pretty big flub by federal officials. After all, no one should want a government that can mistakenly arrest you and hold you for ten days without any evidence that you're an illegal alien. There's just one problem, though. Hermosillo not only told immigration officials he crossed the border illegally, but he also signed a statement swearing that as well. 

"That sound you hear is the sound of a thousand narratives burning to the ground. 

"This is why it's always smart to wait for more details before jumping on a story that sounds too good to be true, politically speaking. Democrats and those generally skeptical of Trump's increased immigration enforcement thought they had the holy grail here. Finally, ICE had rashly and unconstitutionally scooped up a U.S. citizen and violated their rights for over a week. It was the talking point they wanted. 

"Except it turns out that Hermosillo not only told immigration authorities he wasn't an American citizen, but he even concocted an entire story about crossing the border illegally to find work in the United States. Why did he do that? I have no idea. Maybe he's got mental issues. Maybe he was doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing and thought posing as an illegal immigrant was the better option." . . .

Mask up for AOC and Bernie!

 

"Others speculated that the masks are a way to protect attendees’ identities. Masks are a common practice to protect protesters’ identities at large demonstrations, like the pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University this past year."
