President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden in criminal cases during his final days in office. Hunter was convicted for federal firearms and tax offences early this year. He was scheduled to appear in Delon, California, where he might have been sentenced to long jail terms. Thi​s is a power in the hands of the President that allows the court to decide to exempt a convicted human being from serving his/ her sentence.

Catherine Herridge on how CBS killed her Musk interview after she'd set it up, because CBS wanted control. Plus her story on Hunter Biden laptop.

The three largest American automakers, Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, are, according to a recent New York Times report, planning a coordinated lobbying push to convince President-elect Donald Trump to maintain a suite of climate rules forcing electric vehicle purchases. The Thursday report—titled "Automakers to Trump: Please Require Us to Sell Electric Vehicles"—cites unnamed "lobbyists and officials from several car companies" who say manufacturers want Trump to keep the Biden administration's tailpipe emissions regulations, fuel economy standards, and generous tax credits for electric vehicle purchases. But at least one of the referenced automakers, the multinational automaker Stellantis, is pushing back...

CATHERINE HERRIDGE BLOCKBUSTER STORY The untold story of Hunter Biden reporting at CBS News. 1) Hunter Biden is deeply racist | N bombs were all over his emails. 2) CBS News killed the story. VIDEO AT LINK...................

nlike the other media watchdogs, NewsGuard is a for-profit company, making money in a variety of ways that include licensing its rating.. Part of President-elect Donald’s Trump plan to rein in censorship, which he disclosed on Nov. 9, involves tweaking section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. Section 230 gives social media companies liability immunity for user posts, though Trump wants it to apply only to those with “high standards of neutrality,” not just those who appear to routinely take down posts that lean conservative. Without calling out by name Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or a legacy media,...

On the night he won a second term, President-elect Donald J. Trump rejoiced in the moment. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he boasted. In the two weeks since, his campaign has repeatedly heralded his “landslide,” even to market Trump merchandise like the “Official Trump Victory Glass.”But by traditional numeric measures, Mr. Trump’s victory was neither unprecedented nor a landslide. In fact, he prevailed with one of the smallest margins of victory in the popular vote since the 19th century and generated little of the coattails of a true landslide.The disconnect goes beyond predictable Trumpian braggadocio. The...

It has already started. A local news station ran a story about an illegal alien victim of a crime. He is from Jamaica and is here illegally to make money to send to his wife and children back in Jamaica. But he was hesitant to come forward for fear of being deported. We will be bombarded about the hardships deportation will be on employers, who will claim that they can't get people to work but neglect to tell them they were paying the illegals less than they would have to pay Americans. They will warn of shortages and inflation because...

Panic engulfed MSNBC headquarters on Wednesday after parent company Comcast confirmed a massive spinoff of its cable properties — with a top executive even suggesting the left-leaning network may be forced to change its name. ... Staffers fearing looming layoffs peppered him with questions about if the network will need to change its name, logos and headquarters after reports surfaced that the new entity could be cut off from the reporting muscle of NBC News, ... “Everyone is in a panic because everything is up in the air, ... Comcast announced Wednesday that MSNBC — home to anchors that include...

The owner of the Los Angeles Times has fired his entire editorial board as he seeks to return the paper to its journalistic roots. Posting on the X platform, the paper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, said he was proud to have posted a letter opposing attacks on white women for voting for Donald Trump and that the paper would be undergoing some major changes moving forward: Proud that we posted this letter from one of our readers on X. When the President has won the vote of the majority of Americans then ALL voices must be heard. Opinions are just that

We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere. This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism. The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a...

As blue Western states and cities finish counting votes, it looks like the popular vote “landslide” projected for Donald Trump last week turned out to be a trickle. When all the votes are counted, he will end up with a margin of roughly two points over Vice President Kamala Harris. Presidents Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Richard Nixon in 1972 won more than 60 percent of the popular vote; Ronald Reagan in 1984 won 58 percent. Those were landslides.Don’t get me wrong, it was a bad outcome for Democrats. Trump won all seven swing states, netting himself 312 Electoral College...

This campaign season saw the left still shrieking about the threat of disinformation from the right — even as Democrats openly and proudly embraced their commitment to telling lies and insisting they’re true. Exhibit 1 Billion: Courier Newsroom, a literal fake news outfit backed by the leading leftoid sugar daddy George Soros. It also counts prog megadonor Reid Hoffman among the benefactors of its parent, the astonishingly misnamed Good Information Inc.

If the 2024 presidential contest proved anything, it’s that the mass media no longer drive the national conversation. They can no longer stoke fear and outrage in average voters. They can no longer prop up terrible candidates. And, like him or not, President-elect Donald Trump’s success with black, Hispanic and Jewish voters, if exit polls are even close to correct, proves that the entire “fascist” scare was a flop. Indeed, the establishment press are less trusted than virtually any major institution in American life. It’s a well-earned ignominy. It’s also a tragedy for a free nation that we have a...

Kamala Harris was carried to Election Day with the biggest and most favorable media bias in history .... The big three networks that dominated TV coverage ended up giving her coverage that was 78% positive to just 15% positive for President Donald Trump. That 63-point advantage is the biggest in history and about three times what 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry had over President George W. Bush. ... This year’s coverage imbalance was slightly worse than in 2020, when TV news broke all records in providing Joe Biden a 58-point advantage. The bias was hard to miss this year. Near...

what a memory....just awesome....caught em red handed.

"I knew the laptop records could be vetted and confirmed," Catherine Herridge says. "I was confused by what seemed a disconnect between the CBS News division and 60 Minutes." Fired CBS News investigative journalist Catherine Herridge broke her silence on "the question I get asked the most" in her newsletter Sunday: "What happened with the Hunter Biden story at CBS before the 2020 election?" The short answer is the Tiffany network did not direct the CBS News investigative unit "to develop more reporting on the laptop" in October 2020 after Herridge vetted materials including "a million dollar retainer from a...

CBS News went to great lengths to squash correspondent Catherine Herridge’s reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop just weeks before the 2020 election, the award-winning investigative journalist claimed. In her bombshell allegation, Herridge revealed she brought evidence to CBS News executive Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell in early October 2020 that the laptop contained material about “a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm,” along with business texts and emails from the son of Democratic challenger Joe Biden. But later that month, Herridge wrote that she was shocked to see “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl...

For all the media brouhaha about the supposed strength of the Biden-Harris administration’s jobs market, NBC’s flagship evening news show didn’t even bother to report on the "worst" jobs report in years released just before Election Day. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Nov. 1 that the U.S. economy embarrassingly added only 12,000 jobs in October— well below the 113,000 jobs prediction by economists. As reported by Fox Business, this figure is “the lowest tally since December 2020.” In addition, private sector payrolls declined 28,000 against a prediction of a 90,000 gain by LSEG economists. If that wasn’t bad...

The bias, from both the mainstream media and the tech/social media is mind-boggling. The problem isn’t that Democrats openly and habitually lie about Donald Trump on a regular basis. The problem is that the media uses subliminal messaging to reinforce those lies. They are not fair, neutral arbiters. The media are Democrats, by and large. For example, Democrat strategist Aisha Mills recently appeared on Erin Burnett’s show on CNN and blatantly lied about a recent comment from Trump, claiming he’d said that illegal immigrants to the U.S. brought in a lot of “bad genes” among other things. Mills's insane rant...

Some Washington Post employees are peeved that executive editor Matt Murray won’t reveal how many subscriptions have been canceled since the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" paper declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Last week, the Post upset liberals when it announced that it wouldn’t endorse a candidate in the upcoming presidential election despite years of hostility toward former President Trump and a reported endorsement of Harris already drafted and ready to publish. Outrage quickly poured in as many liberal readers canceled their subscriptions and urged others to do the same. The Post’s in-house media reporter Elahe Izadi reported this...
