I told my AI that I go to the various X posts of the Sunday shows to get the latest refresh of the guest lineup, usually around 7-8 pm on Saturday. The AI said: Before we carve into the lineups, a quick reminder: the promos these networks push on X are not journalism — they’re marketing. When a show leads with one side’s accusation or frames a segment around a pre‑baked narrative, that’s not reporting, that’s story‑priming. The real test is whether the interview itself applies scrutiny and balance.
One thing to keep in mind: the legacy networks freely label people and organizations as ‘right‑wing,’ but almost never use the term ‘left‑wing’ for anyone. They present themselves as neutral while consistently booking and framing from a center‑left perspective. That asymmetry is part of the architecture.
From my AI discussion: Across the networks this Sunday, the butcher’s thumb shows up in the way each show arranges its political contrasts and supporting panels.
* CBS Face the Nation CBS is running a “border + leadership + bipartisan veneer” hour. Homan gives them an enforcement‑heavy segment, Jeffries is the Democratic leadership voice, and Garcia is the progressive counterweight. Tillis is technically the Republican on the bill, but he has already announced he’s leaving the Senate and no longer aligns with his party’s direction. CBS often uses him when they want a GOP label without the friction of a GOP message. This lets the show claim balance while avoiding a Republican who reflects the party’s current posture.
What to watch:
Whether Homan gets a real segment or is positioned as the foil for the political guests.
* Fox News Sunday: Fox is doing a “policy + contrast + populist energy” blend. Britt and Coons give them a clean bipartisan pairing. Paxton brings legal‑political heat. The “Ruthless” crew signals a younger‑audience, culture‑politics segment. The panel is a classic mix of ideological and analytical voices.
What to watch:
How Paxton’s segment is framed relative to Coons — contrast or escalation.How Paxton’s segment is framed relative to Coons — contrast or escalation.
* NBC’s Meet the Press With NBC off the board again, the center‑left institutional lane disappears. That vacuum pushes CBS toward the middle, CNN toward Democratic leadership, and ABC toward political drama.
What to watch:
How CBS and CNN divide the “institutional” audience.
* ABC’s This Week ABC is running its strangest lineup of the week. Massie gives them a libertarian‑leaning Republican voice. Ed Smart is a human‑interest booking that doesn’t fit the political hour — ABC uses these when they want emotional ballast. The “Nancy Guthrie Investigation” panel is ABC leaning into true‑crime‑meets‑politics, one of their recurring ratings plays. The main panel is ideologically mixed but heavy on strategists.
What to watch:
Whether Massie gets a real policy segment or is overshadowed by the true‑crime block.
* CNN’s State of the Union CNN is running a “Democratic leadership + border + bipartisan contrast” hour. Schumer is the anchor guest. Homan appearing here and on CBS signals that immigration is the week’s dominant theme. Mullin gives them a conservative counterweight. Beshear is the moderate‑Democrat governor slot CNN uses when they want to project pragmatism. The panel is small and leans analytical.
What to watch:
How Tapper/Bash handles the Homan–Schumer contrast.
* Fox News Channel Sunday Morning Futures Futures is running its signature “economy + geopolitics + populism + security” hour. Navarro gives them economic and trade policy. Pahlavi brings international gravitas and a foreign‑policy angle. Luna is the populist‑energy segment. Hagerty is the establishment‑Republican closer. The law‑enforcement panel is Bartiromo’s trademark.
What to watch:
How Pahlavi’s segment is positioned — foreign‑policy anchor or ideological contrast.

“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
1 Corinthians 13: 6-7 (King James Version)
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
When you look at these protesters you notice a commonality among them, which is they are all odd looking. They seem to have a certain look about them, which is heavily homosexual and people who are very strange who have unusual quirks. They look like people who have milked the Affirmative Action system and their cash cow has dried up by Trump.
What if these are greedy little DEI abusers and they in the process of losing their meal tickets. If you look at the Antifa riots you see a certain class of people you have seen all over the Biden regime from Director of Health, Transportation, and Vice President. These are not people who have made it on accomplishment, rather they have made it complaining to HR and Trump has put an end to it.
Of course, they are going to protest and throw a fit pretending to be outraged by the offense of the week, but it is really their own selfish greed they are upset about. The entire crowd is not only paid handsomely for, but they are a bunch of freaks who are working the system while pushing their own agenda.
For a privileged Whitey and especially a male you have to take the homosexual route to reach victim class. If you want to be a minority and get quota set asides and do not have the resume, you claim to be homosexual and you get to check a box. This takes a white male from entitled to victim overnight. Easier than changing your name to Mohamhead and living in a tanning bed.
Children are trained early in school to understand how the Affirmative Action system works. Teachers will make homosexual kids their pets and give them better grades since they are now victims of a homophobic society. This system is designed to have kids and then adults abuse it to reach for special treatment in a victimhood mentality.
Studies have shown homosexuals make fifty percent more than heterosexuals since they get admitted to the better schools and first pick for jobs. They also get advanced faster due to affirmative action quotas as you saw in the Braindead Biden administration. Nobody in that regime including Slow Joe, but especially Kommie Harris who has made a career on victimhood.
If you look at these crowds you can see two things. They are extremely well funded and organized and they are a freak show. You see everything from trannies, to furries, blacks, and Latinos who have one thing in common, Affirmative Action beneficiaries. Not so much Latinos who are known for hard work and sharp business, but they have plenty of DEI abusers and cartel thugs.
Even the Cat Ladies who are virtue signaling were likely abusing the system since women were some of the first Affirmative Action queens. First woman this and first woman that to the point Hillary and Kommie both ran on the glass ceiling although they both were into the cardboard wine box more. It is such a phony way to get ahead claiming women are given minority status even though they are the largest population. But they are so put upon which minimizes the women who have succeeded on their own accomplishments.
Now you see what happens when they have their Affirmative Action benefits eliminated and they are expected to succeed on their own talents and skills. They cannot so they go to the streets demanding their money. These protests are not about the illegal aliens, or a king, or even about racism, sexism, or homophobia, it is about give me my victimhood back and all the fringe benefits which goes with it. Just another Democrat scam being run on America once again. These riots are as fake as Covid-19.
Pray for our Policemen
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/dog-the-fraud-hunter-saturday-february
Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! And, Happy Valentine’s Day! Time for the Weekend Edition roundup, including:
DOGE and HHS just open-sourced the entire Medicaid claims database — and Treasury is paying bounties to find the fraud;
alert citizens already dissecting fraudulent medical providers; the hunt for vaccine injuries just got rocket-fueled;
the Epstein files claim another Hollywood scalps and catch Democrats soliciting a convicted pedophile for donations;
and inflation just hit a five-year low while the New York Times tries to explain why that’s really bad news.
Good guess on who the paid goons who protest really are.
My take is they are basically stupid or part of a bigger paid group that has paid leaders infiltrated in the crowd to make sure they stay on message.
They clearly have been told what to say what to do how far they can go and on and on. It's an organized mob of basically low level criminals types who get paid as much as $1,500 a week.
Someone should figure out how to track where the money comes from and where it goes. That alone would solve a big part of the puzzle. Sadly,there may not be enough emphasis on doing that.
If you ask AI who is behind the mobs hassling ICE you get a standard left wing answer of a broad-based group of:
below from AI:
The major anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis were organized by a broad coalition of grassroots groups,
(pure left wing bullshit designed to lead the casual observer astray of just how well organized left wingers are and have been for decades)
labor unions, faith leaders, and activist organizations. Key organizers include:
More from AI:
1. Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC) Led early rallies, including the "ICE Out of Minnesota" march on January 10, 2026, following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
2. Singing Resistance
A decentralized group using music and nonviolent protest tactics, inspired by Serbian civil resistance. They organized viral singing demonstrations outside ICE facilities and public spaces, calling on agents to "quit your job."
3. Labor Unions
The Minnesota AFL-CIO, Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 7250, and other unions endorsed the January 23 "Day of Truth & Freedom," supporting a statewide economic blackout with work and school absences.
4. People's Action Coalition Against Trump Organized large-scale anti-ICE actions, mobilizing allies to support targeted communities, particularly Somali immigrants.
5. Faith and Clergy Networks
Hundreds of clergy members participated in protests, including at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport and Government Plaza, demanding an end to ICE operations.
6. 50501 Movement and Women's March
Coordinated followup national actions like the "ICE Out of Everywhere" protests on January 31, 2026.
The movement remains non-centralized, operating through coalitions rather than a single leadership structure.
signage alone indicates organization of these mobs.
thanks for this gives us and edge on what is coming up.
Excellent idea,more people are viewing these threads that I ever knew!
Our oldest grandson is a freshman at the local high school. When my wife saw that some students were out protesting, she sent him a text asking if he was one of them. His response; "NO. I am not a liberal idiot." There is hope for the new generations coming up after all.
With the midterms coming up, and all the doomers predicting a democrat win, I want to bring something up from last week’s late‑afternoon discussion. A few of us were talking about GOP turnout, especially how it roars in presidential years and then falls off a cliff in the midterms.
And it hit me: a lot of us have been here 20 or 30 years because we care about this country. We served, we raised families, we lived through the TEA Party days when disagreeing with a Democrat president got us called every name in the book; racist, sexist, white supremacists.
We’re not here for the fundraising emails. We’re here because we love our country and we actually pay attention. Meanwhile, the ‘country‑club GOP’ only seems to remember our names when they want another donation. Maybe — just maybe — the grassroots could do more for civic engagement and community than the entire RNC email department.
And about that midterm election:
The DNCMedia often say: Republicans didn’t show up because they’re tired of Trump.
But the truth is:
Republicans didn’t show up because nobody asked them to.
No reminders.
No mobilization.
No neighbor‑to‑neighbor structure.
No ballot‑chasing.
No turnout machine.
Just fundraising letters and emails from the RNC.
You had me at Jim Jones,cultists leader,preacher and mass murderer. I just knew he and Trump were best buds of Jeffrey Epstein and now ABC is going to uncover the whole sordid “truth”..... no matter how non existent that truth may be....🙄
Continuing...
Rod said Bray had a way to contact conservative voters and continuously remind them of the vote.
HOWEVER, I found out—the local GOP, State GOP, and national level GOP/RNC cannot, by law, share their voter lists!
How can we urge GOP voters to get out and vote when we don’t have the list of names?
As far as we are concerned, it’s the party—from the local groups to the national level, that is going to cause low Republican turnout at the midterms.
There’s got to be a way for them to do the things we know the democrats do with their machine:
They send out reminders.
They mobilize their followers.
They have a neighbor‑to‑neighbor structure.
They chase ballots.
In other words, they have a turnout machine.
The Republicans have a fundraising machine.
Yeah, I put that in there because that’s who ABC has on their guest list—just the name, Jim Jones. Generic, right? So I googled the name, and that’s all that came up!
If they’re going to not describe their guest, they get the easy answer from me!
The names contained in the Epstein files do not merely expose a billionaire “old boys’ club”; they also reveal elite impunity that undermines the legal system. …
The files do not merely reveal the moral failings of these perverted and powerful men; they expose an organized crime syndicate centered on hedonistic pleasure. … The reach of this syndicate extends far beyond national borders, and its consequences will persist for a long time unless justice is delivered swiftly.

. .........................
While the above is certainly true the Epstein phenomena which is concentrated on his and others sexual escapades which is always newsworthy and will always generate millions of clicks IMHO missed the bigger issue of who Epstein was and what he was all about. Was he a child molester who invited others to join in the perversion? Of course. Was that all he did?
HARDLY!
Epstein was the ultimate criminal/intel source for many intels and law enforcement from every stripe in so many countries you can't count them all. Likely all over the world! Epstein had the goods on people so famous some are not even ID'ed in the six million pages. The blackouts on the three million pages released alone are endless.
Epstein had the potential to allow law enforcement to take down criminals at every level of society from the lowest to the dershowowitzs',Clinton's, kings and queens,leaders of countries world wide. He had everyone on living color tape doing nasty things to young boys and girls. He was a law enforcement dream to those looking to make semi-easy busts.
Was there ever any chance he was going to spend any time in jail anywhere in the world? Noooo waaayyyy!! He was too valuable and every law enforcement agency in the world wanted what he had.
Add in Epstein was likely smarter than many that he dealt with and had a narcissistic tendency that placed him above most anyone you had a made for movie scenario seldom seen.
here's Epstein with an unknown young gal likely in his miss Lolita usually flown by him:
They are all Affirmative Action scammers and the structure is unions, teachers unions, Antifa, and Organizing America. Can you say Barak/Val Jerret?
We need the RNC/GOP to be told, “Get off your fat @$$e$ and start doing some of these things!
You hound me for money all the time? What are you doing with it?
Spend it on contacting voters, for Goodness sakes! This upcoming election needs you to work like you’ve never worked before! I’ll help. Count on me!”
Seriously, I think I will leave Alabama (which is a sure GOP state) and go to a purple state to help out the local GOP if I knew where to go and who to contact. I am serious!
Apparently the clown show might be coming here to metro Detroit. It seems a local warehouse right next to DTW is being leased by ICE to place those who’ve been given “due process” before flights out of the country. And in a Facebook discussion it was about 85-15 in favor, with some saying maybe its time to “do unto others.....”..IOW....hunt the hunters. Follow them around...day AND night.....blow air horns and loudspeakers wherever they roost at night. And wouldn’t you know, all the leftists commenting started threatening violence in retaliation. Go figure?
