Look, I want to prepare you for the absolute horror show that is to follow. To wit: The U.S. Border cops shot a man and a woman as they sat in their car on Thursday afternoon in Portland, Ore. As CNN's Brianna Keilar told her viewers, "Tensions are flying even higher in Portland, Oregon [after] a border patrol agent shot a married couple there." Have we so lost our humanity that "married couples" are now being targeted by our Border Patrol and ICE officers?! Brianna would have us believe that border cops in Portland are simply walking up to "married...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN International’s “The Brief,” CNN Senior Correspondent Josh Campbell discussed the video of the shooting in Minneapolis and said that while officers are trained not to step in front of vehicles, “it appears, from other vantage points, that he was likely struck by that car, and so, under policy, an agent can articulate, I felt my life was in danger, I opened fire. But there are big questions based on the angle where he was, were there other options, could he have jumped out of the way? That’s a big question.” Campbell said, “[H]e puts himself...

CNN This Morning's panel discussion of an ICE agent's fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis began with CNN senior White House reporter Betsy Klein calling on President Trump to "tone down his rhetoric." That was promptly followed by CNN commentator and former Biden comms person Meghan Hays claiming,"what happened here was murder." Because nothing tones down the rhetoric like accusing someone of murder in the earliest moments of an investigation. Later, host Audie Cornish brought on CNN commentator Garrett Graff, and teed him up to comment on ICE's recruitment ads. She suggestively said that "the tone and tenor of...

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s comments that Greenland should be a U.S. territory were “unacceptable.” Host Jake Tapper said, “So do you want Stephen Miller to lose his job?’ Tillis said, “Either Stephen Miller needs to get into a lane where he knows what he’s talking about or get out of his job. The reason why I thought it was important for me to make a comment on the floor is I’ve been the Republican leader of the Senate NATO observer Group since 2018. There is no...

Narrative consistency on economic coverage is definitely not one of CNN’s strongest suits, and its latest pile of garbage it spewed to harangue President Donald Trump’s economy is case-in-point. CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman, who’s developed a reputation at MRC for being one of the most logically inconsistent economic writers at the decrepit network, launched another fallacy-rattled hit piece at the Trump economy. “It’s about to officially become Trump’s economy,” read Goldman’s headline for his January 2 op-ed posing as news, where he excoriated the president for accurately blaming his predecessor Joe Biden and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell...

Minnesota child care centers at the center of widespread fraud allegations fueled by a viral video were operating as expected when visited by investigators, the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said in a news release Friday. “Children were present at all sites except for one – that site, was not yet open for families for the day when inspectors arrived,” the agency said. The agency gathered evidence and initiated further review, noting the investigation into four centers was ongoing, the report stated. The report comes days after YouTube content creator Nick Shirley, who has created anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim...

CNN can’t believe that Trump is the ONLY President EVER to have higher net approval ratings in his 2nd term than his first term!! How EPIC is her reaction?😂 Happy New Year y’all!!😎🇺🇸

VIDEOThe CNN "journalist" Whitney Wild, who attempted to cast ridiculous aspersions upon the reporting by Nick Shirley on day care fraud in Minnesota, has a record of absurd mendacity. Here is a flashback to June 2022 when Wild was reporting on the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the wake of the release of the leaked draft decision that could overturn Roe v. Wade.First Wild CONTRADICTED her own CNN chyron running below her, that stated that the attempted assassin was ARMED, by claiming it was unknown whether he was armed. She again flat out LIED by claiming...

VIDEOWatch the CNN pretend "journalist" Whitney Wild decide it is her mission in life to "debunk" REAL journalist Nick Shirley. Her efforts are so over the top obvious to the extent that EVERYBODY sees what she is trying to do. The result is overwhelming condemnation of her on X (Twitter). To make matters even WORSE, take a look at who she recommends as a supposedly credible journalist. A dirtbag by the name of Lou Raguse whose idea idea of investigating child care center fraud it to slam those exposing it as racists.Unfortunately, the sad reality our our times is that...

CNN has already gone after Nick Shirley, attempting to write off his reporting in Minnesota and lamenting his lack of “fact checks” and “guardrails.” I’m not sure I would hang my hat on the legacy media’s “fact checks” or “guardrails” but at least CNN accurately reported that only the Right appears to be concerned about stopping the massive fraud in Minnesota and beyond.

VIDEOHappy New Year to everybody! The year 2025 is ending on a very high note especially since I found out that Scott Jennings must be viewer of the DUmmie FUnnies. How do I know this? Because on December 30 Scott caused yet another meltdown among the liberal CNN crew by mentioning that the Lt. Governor of Minnesota by wearing a hijab was dressed up like the "Handmaid's Tale." Before that very apt observation no other media outlet or figure made that comparison EXCEPT for the DUmmie FUnnies three days earlier on December 27 with a video on this very topic...

One week ago, 23-year-old Nick Shirley was relatively unknown in the public sphere. But in recent days, he has gained hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of views, amplified by Elon Musk, Vice President JD Vance and FBI Director Kash Patel. The MAGA leaders promoted Shirley’s video of himself and a Minnesota activist investigating federally funded facilities in the state that allegedly posed as daycares without any children present. It’s part of what many on the right say is widespread government assistance fraud perpetuated by the Somali community there. Shirley’s experience could only happen in today’s media and political...

The scandal involving billions of dollars of Somali fraud in Minnesota is growing exponentially. But if you were watching CNN or MS NOW, you would have no idea the story was exploding and possibly expanding into other states. Mediaite reports that those two alleged cable news sites haven’t mentioned the seismic Somali fraud scandal in more than a week. Here’s more. (READ) Western Lensman @WesternLensman REPORT: MSNOW and CNN have ignored the exploding Minnesota fraud scandal, not mentioning it a SINGLE TIME since December 18: "A review of MS NOW and CNN’s broadcasts since December 18 — when prosecutors claimed...

A 77-year-old gunman opened fire at an Idaho sheriff’s office — injuring three people before he was killed in a standoff with police, according to authorities. The incident unfolded around 2:30 p.m. on Friday when shooter John Drake opened fire outside of the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office in Wallace, Shoshone County Sheriff William Eddy announced at a press conference. Drake shot through the windshield of a pickup truck on the street near the sheriff’s office, striking two women in the leg. An officer was also wounded in the gunfire, Eddy said. The officer was nicked in the ear by flying...

CNN's Jake Tapper has requested that people "stop being awful" in a scathing X post. Resharing a video of people yelling "r----d" at Governor Tim Walz's house, Jake took to X on December 27, to condemn those bullying the politician, by writing, "Everyone really needs to take a breath and stop being awful, stop rewarding awfulness, and stop promoting awfulness with your algorithms. Happy & fulfilled & confident people don’t spend time doing any of this." The video, which had originally been posted on December 26, shows a man standing outside the governor's home shouting the ableist slur as two...

Summary Byron York argues that some media outlets are attempting to portray President Donald Trump as facing the same major liabilities that plagued President Joe Biden: senility and damaging inflation. On senility, York highlights a New York Times article titled “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office,” which notes that the 79-year-old Trump, the oldest person elected to the presidency, has fewer public events, a shorter schedule concentrated between noon and 5 p.m., and occasional signs of fatigue. The piece compares these observations to prior reporting on Biden’s cognitive decline, citing details like a bruise...

President Donald Trump's announcement of the Patriot Games, a sporting event to celebrate 250 years of America, has sparked debate. Critics have likened the idea to The Hunger Games series, noting that in both, one boy and one girl are chosen to represent their region.

President Donald Trump made a series of false claims during his prime-time address from the White House on Wednesday night, most of which have been debunked before. Here is a fact check of some of his assertions. Inflation and the economy Inflation under Trump: Near the end of the speech, Trump falsely claimed, “Inflation is stopped.” Inflation hasn’t stopped; the most recent available year-over-year inflation rate at the time he spoke on Wednesday, 3.0% in September, was the same as the rate when Trump returned to office in January – in fact, if you go to multiple decimal places,...

Ilhan Omar Cries To CNN About Trump. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) takes her complaints to CNN about President Trump and his comments about her and Somali constituents. (Pro-tip: She should only have AMERICAN constituents.)

Maggots and blowflies, creatures that feast on dead human bodies, serve highly useful purposes by returning organic matter to the soil and removing potential sources of disease. So, it's possible that Chris Murphy might also be of some social utility -- although it's hard to see him as other than a self-promoting ghoul after a shooting. Even the left-leaning Politico has named Murphy, the Democrat junior senator from Connecticut, as one of "The 7 Most Shameless Attention-Seekers in Congress." And sure enough, just hours after the mass shooting at Brown University, there was Murphy on CNN's State of the Union....
