Brian Stelter, as expected, and got up on his moral high horse all weekend and lectured about censorship because President Donald Trump banned CNN MS NOW, and Politico from the White House grounds. However, as you shall see, Stelter's protests ring rather hollow because he himself in March 2021 suggested that Fox News be, get this, banned from the White House.First let us see Stelter complaining about the very thing he recommended in 2021 happen to Fox News, since it's just a "political tool," despite having actual journalists working at the White House:

For most people of a political bent, the big takeaway from Jake Tapper's interview of Gavin Newsom while engaged in performative fly fishing together in Montana which was aired by CNN on Monday was Newsom's pledge to not run for president in 2028 if fellow Californian Kamala Harris decides to once again throw her hat into the presidential race. However, wildlife experts focused in on the inadvertent comedy entertainment provided by the cosplaying fly fishermen.You can get a sense of just how hilarious such outdoorsmen found the duo by reading the opinions of a couple of them in Wyoming's Cowboy...

Iran has conveyed seven conditions to Washington for the start of any negotiations, Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Saturday, as President Donald Trump weighs whether to resume major attacks on Iran.“The United States, if it wants to extricate itself from the predicament it has created, must accept Iran’s rights and conditions,” Rezaei wrote on X, saying the seven demands had been communicated to Washington.He did not spell out all seven in the post. Earlier Saturday, however, Rezaei told Al Jazeera that Tehran was demanding an end to the war “on all fronts,” the release of frozen Iranian...

We are past the peak of the Hurricane season and the great news is that no hurricanes have yet formed in the Atlantic Ocean. This should be a cause of massive relief yet for poor David A. Graham of The Atlantic, this also seems to be a source of frustration. Why? Because Donald Trump has not had to face a hurricane disaster going into the midterm elections. Graham's bizarre attitude can be see in his Tuesday article in which he almost seems to plead for a hurricane so as to harm Trump, "How Long Can the U.S. Escape an Atlantic...

If she’s in, he’s out.California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told CNN anchor Jake Tapper he will not run for president in 2028 if former Vice President Kamala Harris decides to try again. The liberal governor dished the revelation on Monday while he and Tapper were recorded fly fishing together in Montana — and it appeared to mildly stun the news host.“I wouldn’t run if she ran,” Newsom said.Tapper turned to the gov while holding his poll in the air and confirmed, “If she runs, you will not?”Newsom acted like it was obvious he should bow out if Harris opts to...

The film, "The Uprising" is supposedly about the English Peasant's Revolt in the year 1381. However, according to Washington Post movie critic Thomas Floyd, the movie is really about ...Donald Trump. You don't have to even read the text of his review to discover this since the title alone reveals the absurd TDS, "The first No Kings movie is about a medieval peasant revolt and ‘people power’."As for the body of the review, the TDS also kicks in right away:

Was there a threat of political violence against Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton over the Labor Day weekend? Or was it much ado about nothing? Acton was speaking to Democrats in a tent in Mahoning County when a man moving toward Acton caused several senior citizens to fall down.Acton’s campaign put out a statement “praying for the recovery of those injured” and argued “This kind of violence has no place in Ohio.” What was initially hyped as a serious threat by many liberal sources was later downgraded to just a man "moving forward." The local district attorney has downgraded...

According to Politico Playbook on Wednesday, things are really, really bad for the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. To support their claim of disaster for that convention, the Politico team of Adam Wren, Dasha Burns, Will Steakin, and Megan Messerly cited — wait for it —conveniently unnamed sources to back up their premise of doom and gloom.The unnamed sources made their invisible cameos in “‘The vibes are very bad’ in Texas,’” only to immediately disappear into the political ether to avoid anything resembling a fact check of their whispered claims:

VIDEOSo far this summer I have cooked smoked tacos de lengua con salsa verde, arepas de lengua, and on Labor Day Weekend I prepared smoked lengua con queso y salsa de tomato. Okay, I know many of you are queasy about eating beef tongue so to make you feel better let's just call it "lengua."This video shows you in detail on how to prepare the lengua starting with boiling it followed by BBQing it to give it a tremendous flavor. I also hope this video helps to inspire some of you not into BBQing into giving it a try.I believe...

How convenient. How very very convenient. The Democrat candidate for governor of Ohio, Amy Acton, has refused to debate the Republican candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy. Normally such a refusal to engage in public debate would be seen as detrimental to the chances of such a candidate. However, the political editor of the Washington Monthly, Bill Scher, leaped into the fray Friday to declare that refusing a debate can be a positive in, "Amy Acton Won’t Debate. It’s Worked Before.":

VIDEOChunk Yogurt aka Cenk Uygur was loudly defending his crazed commie nephew, Hasan Piker when suddenly Karma struck and he experienced an embarrassing chair malfunction as you can see. However, in order to preserve poor Chunk's dignity we have taken that lemon experience and turned it into lemonade with this highly entertaining rendition of Chunk Yogurt performing Chunk Chair Cha-Cha.

"Republicans pounced."It is such a worn journalistic trope that it has become the object of mockery whenever some brave but foolish member of the media dares to use it yet again. But what if the subject who supposedly pounced is not even a Republican? Well, that is apparently no problem for the Philadelphia Inquirer which conveniently relabeled the person in question, in this case Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as a Republican via the use of blatant misinformation despite the reporters piously lecturing the readers about, yes, misinformation. This mighty feat of stupendous hypocrisy was performed on Friday by Aubrey Whelan...

"Challenging." "Criticizing." "Questioning."All the above words would have accurately categorized the attitude of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. towards the lack of transparency by Governor Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) following his claim that lack of vaccinations caused the death from measles of two residents of his state. Instead, Politico chose once again to put its biases on display with its choice of describing Kennedy's reaction as "exploiting," as you can see in Thursday's story by health reporter Carmen Paun in "Shapiro won’t say who died of measles. RFK Jr. is exploiting it."

On Wednesday, CNN's Erin Burnett enthusiastically interviewed the brother of Natalie Harp, Preston Harp, who proceeded to slime both her and President Donald Trump. Of course, no pushback by Burnett as to what motivated him to attack his sister and Trump. Could it be because she and the CNN producers knew very well something quite toxic about him that would tend to cause much of their audience to dismiss his criticisms?The Washington Post on Saturday revealed the important background of Preston Harp that CNN oh so very conveniently declined to reveal to their audience in a story by Terrence McCoy,...

The many fans of the Road Runner cartoon series will be interested to know that there is a full length Road Runner movie featuring live action opening on August 28 called "Coyote vs. Acme." It has the fascinating premise of Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme company. A New Yorker review of this film, "Toons Have Seldom Been Loonier Than in 'Coyote vs. Acme,'" on August 14 by Justin Chang provided some interesting details such as the fact that this film was placed on the shelf by Warner's for three years. Unfortunately, Chang couldn't resist the temptation to let his...
