Well, CNN is at the center of yet another fake news hoax. What number is this now? Honestly, too many to count. But this latest stunt is especially egregious because it involves our national security. So what happened? CNN ran a bogus story claiming that President Trump’s highly successful military strikes barely dented Iran’s nuclear program and only set them back “a few months.” The goal was obvious: downplay the operation and spin it as a failure.

The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they controlled the minds of the masses. – Malcolm X If the captured pharmaceutical-media complex recoiled in panic when Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. entered the political arena, it now convulses in open terror. Kennedy didn’t just challenge their monopoly on narrative—he began tearing out the supports propping up their empire. But if Bobby rattled the machinery, the recent appointment of Dr. Robert Malone has sent them into existential panic and caused them to...

...In a legal sense, it is not merely a "protest" to obstruct law enforcement. It’s a crime. It is not "protest" to throw bricks at ICE agents or police, or set cars on fire. But the broadcast coverage of this unrest sounded disturbingly like the excuse-making for the George Floyd riots of 2020, when violent mobs were described as a "racial reckoning." Once again, the TV networks used the mantra that the protests are "mostly peaceful," like it was a tiny sideshow, and Trump calling out the National Guard to quell the violence was treated as a provocation that worsened...

1948 Refugee: The Arab media "lied and deceived the people" Palestinian "settlement affairs" expert: "The Arab states promised them [in 1948] that they would return after a week" Interviewed on official PÅ TV, Palestinian refugee Muhammad Khana complained that the lying Arab propaganda and media is what made the Arabs leave in 1948 during Israel's War of Independence: Palestinian refugee Muhammad Khana: "[In 1948, the Arab] propaganda and media had a central role in us leaving. The media and propaganda, the propaganda [claimed] that there is a horrifying [Jewish] force coming." [Official PA TV, Source of the Story, May 13,...

Legendary sports play-by-play man Bob Costas thinks that the corporate press is simply doing “MAGA media,” leaving the news industry without a dissenting or oppositional voice. On Monday night, Costas blasted corporate media outlets at the Mirror Awards, held in New York City. At the event, held by Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, of which Costas is an alumnus, the longtime American sportscaster received the Fred Dressler Leadership Award for making “distinct, consistent and unique contributions to the public’s understanding of the media.” However, Costas didn’t use his speech to reflect on his years in sports media alone. Instead, he singled...

Check out @MSNBC‘s take: “…..it’s not chaotic…it’s actually relatively mellow…almost like a celebratory atmosphere…”, he says within sight & earshot of burning cars & explosions. Video clip of MSNBC reporter making light of the riots

It was the easiest thing in the world to predict: The media’s moment of half-hearted contrition for “missing” President Joe Biden’s obvious physical and cognitive decline has given way already to a fixation on President Trump’s health. The journalists have no choice, you see. They’re humbled now. Their renewed zeal for the truth compels them to correct for the reporting mistakes of the Biden era. Therefore, they must now be unrelentingly suspicious of Trump’s mental and physical health. They learned their lesson! The mea culpas seem awfully hollow now — more like a thin cover for a public relations reset,...

Rather than honoring the military men and women who gave their lives defending their fellow Americans’ right to live in freedom, two-time failed Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is calling on her supporters to bash President Donald Trump and his One Big Beautiful Bill that passed the House this week when they get together with friends and neighbors at Memorial Day gatherings this weekend:

Democrats actively oppose the Trump administration’s efforts to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, despite the administration’s focus on those with criminal histories.To support their opposition, Democrats frequently claim, almost as an article of faith, that illegal immigrants are less prone to commit crime. “The crime rate among immigrants is far lower than the crime rate among native-born Americans,” New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler asserted confidently. “So the whole issue is wrong.”“Immigrants commit crimes in this country at a rate lower than natural-born citizens,” added Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy. “So, if you want a safe town or a safe neighborhood, you...

Fake News Word of the Day: “Ambush!"

As President Donald Trump attempts to muscle his GOP agenda through a narrow House majority, Rep. Chip Roy is perhaps the most important holdout to win over. He may also be the toughest. Speaker Mike Johnson and his team have been confident they can pass Trump’s massive reconciliation bill, because they don’t believe any Republican will want to stand in the way and face Trump’s wrath. But Roy, the unapologetic fiscal hawk, is the rare GOP lawmaker willing to publicly challenge the president. He has already survived multiple calls by his own party to oust him — including from Trump...

Whoever had control of the “AUTOPEN” is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment. It is a major part of the real crime, THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN! Millions and millions of people knew that, but the Radical Left Democrats waged a campaign of inoculation and innocence like none that had ever been waged before. THIS IS WHY THE UNSELECT COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL THUGS, WHO WERE GIVEN A FULL AND COMPLETE PARDON BY THE PERSON WHO WIELDED THE NOW ILLEGALLY USED AUTOPEN, DELETED AND DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION FROM THEIR...

“I’m very concerned for [the president's] life. And James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this." — DNI Tulsi Gabbard “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Jim Comey, former FBI Director wrote on Instagram about the message “86 47” laid out in seashells on the sand that he came across, innocently. You’d have to ask yourself: what was “cool” about that, exactly? Especially if, as Mr. Comey claimed on X soon after, that he didn’t know what it meant. Are things that you don’t understand “cool”? Is it just “cool” to learn...

Ed just wrote an excellent piece on the "Biden Nightmare" being an anvil around the neck of the Democrats. And it is true that both the media and the Democrats have taken a major hit in their approval ratings, and that some Democrats and left-leaning Independents have reconsidered their allegiance to both. And yet, many of those people who say they have lost trust in these institutions are still accepting their characterizations of what Trump is doing. This phenomenon is called the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect. The Gell-Mann amnesia effect is a cognitive bias describing the tendency of individuals to critically...

Talk about having egg on your face. In an article published Tuesday on their website, CNN decided to make a badly-cooked omelette out of itself by admitting President Donald Trump was actually on to something about falling egg prices, but still attempted to say he was still peddling “fiction.” CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman just couldn't bring himself to fully admit that Trump was right and wrote an oxymoronic headline that reeked of contradiction, “Trump’s egg price fiction has suddenly become reality.” Yeah, we couldn’t make sense of that logic either.

Honduras' deposed President Manuel Zelaya said on Sunday that he would stay in the Brazilian embassy in the Honduran capital for as long as Brasilia allowed him to and that he would be willing to talk to the new president-elect. Leftist Zelaya, who was ousted by the army in a coup on June 28, slipped back into Honduras in September and took refuge in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, from where he has been demanding his reinstatement. The United States and Brazil have been pushing for Zelaya's return to power but his fate remains uncertain after the Honduran Congress voted...
