CNN Embarrasses Itself Yet Again: Trump Was Right About Transgender Mice Studies

CNN went on a fact-checking frenzy after Trump’s Tuesday night speech to a joint session of Congress, but they forgot to do one thing: check the facts. In one of the epic diatribes of the address, the president lambasted the waste in the federal government that has been uncovered by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and pointed out many of the most ridiculous examples—including transgender studies on mice.

Trump:

Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified: $22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens, $45 million for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma, $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. $8 million to promote LGBTQ+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of, $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. $60 million. $8 million for making mice transgender. [Laughter.]

This is real.

Well, it didn’t take long for CNN to get their knickers in a twist and try to trip up the president, but they failed badly:

CNN’s Deidre McPhillips initially tried to dispute the claim, arguing only about $500,000 had been allocated for similar research in monkeys — she was later forced to issue a correction after the White House proved CNN’s “fact check” inaccurate in a statement.

CNN Vehemently Rejects Joe Rogan-Fueled Conspiracy Theory That CNN Aired Trump Rally Because They Knew He’d Be Shot

CNN vehemently rejected a conspiracy theory that has taken hold on the Right — which suggests that the network somehow had advance knowledge of the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life.

The theory has been making the rounds following Joe Rogan’s podcast with Elon Musk — which was posted on Friday . In a clip from the podcast being widely circulated, Rogan seemed to suggest that because CNN broadcast the rally, it knew about the assassination attempt beforehand.

“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird shit.”

WOW: CNN Hack Michael Smerconish Melts Down After Getting Schooled by DOGE Dividend Creator James Fishback — Threatens to Cut His Mic and Calls ‘Time’ After Losing Debate

Another day, another embarrassing meltdown from the legacy media.

CNN’s resident fake news peddler, Michael Smerconish, couldn’t handle the cold, hard truth about government waste and taxpayer rip-offs.

During an interview with DOGE Dividend original creator James Fishback, a Trump-aligned entrepreneur and CEO of Azoria, Smerconish fumed and ultimately threatened to cut the mic when his leftist talking points crumbled under the weight of FACTS.

The DOGE Dividend, a bold new initiative supported by President Trump and spearheaded by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aims to return taxpayer savings back to hardworking Americans.

The plan proposes that 20% of the money saved through cutting government waste would be refunded directly to taxpayers, while another 20% would go toward paying down the national debt. But for some reason, this common-sense approach sent Smerconish into a full-blown meltdown.

Officer, I’d Like to Report the Wreck of Another CNN ‘News’ Host

For the decades I’ve been in the news biz, especially on radio and TV, where sound and pictures are paramount, and a reporter must not be afraid to ask the simple — some might say dumb — questions. A reporter usually gets the best answers by asking the simplest of questions. Follow-up questions are where the reporter gets crucial information and builds out a news story. 

And then there’s CNN host Brianna Keilar.

Keilar remains afflicted with TDS, an offshoot of the woke mind virus that she highlights for her viewers for hours every week. She doesn’t try to hide her biases but instead sallies forth to get a gotcha moment against every GOP person who bothers to go on CNN. Her motives can’t be trusted, of course, because she’s not fair. Her worldview is woke, and everything else emanates from there. In her mind, people to the right of center are Nazis. Her questions begin with that assumption. 

But Trump advisor Stephen Miller may have cracked the code. 

Indeed, every person who’s to the right of center should respond to Keilar’s questions in the same manner as Miller. Instead of sputtering, Miller answered the question in the simplest way, assuming that the woke CNN host really needed the answer to her rudimentary question. 

The net effect was that viewers became witnesses to a clash that left the CNN host wrecked by the time it was all over. Officer, I’d like to report a hit and run of a news anchor. And it was all because she couldn’t get out of her own head to realize that not everyone with an R after their name is a Nazi. 

Keilar’s question was about how that rich African American meanie Elon Musk really has no right to save Americans money and fire people. 

As our colleagues at Townhall put it, “Stephen Miller has to whip out the crayons” to explain that there’s this thing called the Constitution. Blink twice if you understand what that means, Brianna, he seemed to say.

TDS Addled CNN Reporter Shares Link To Accused Murderer Mangione‘s Defense Fund

CNN activist White House correspondent ‘reporter’ Kaitlin Collins is facing calls for her firing after she posted a link to the defense fund of Luigi Mangione, the guy charged with shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson.

Collins posted the link to X on Friday but then deleted it shortly after following swift backlash.

Mangione has been lauded by extremist leftists and also held up as a kind of sick sex symbol by deranged liberal women.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper Claims There is No ‘Actual Evidence’ of Government Fraud — Then Calls Chris Sununu a ‘D*ck’ Live on Air 

CNN host Anderson Cooper let his emotions get the better of him when discussing the findings of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficency (DOGE).

The primetime anchor hosted a discussion with former New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu and several other panellists following Donald Trump’s decision to hold a joint presser with Elon Musk in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

Here went the exchange:

SUNUNU: I know what you’re not showing here but Musk gave seven specific examples off the top of his head of where the corruption and fraud were.

He was talking about a contractor that had a three-month contract. He was paid for 20 years.

He was talking about welfare benefits that were being paid to someone that was technically 150 years old.”

COOPER: But we didn’t see any of that. He doesn’t present any actual evidence.

SUNUNU: He’s standing there in the Oval Office. Do you expect him to come in with 10,000 pages?

And I have to be clear. To complain about this administration, about transparency when this president takes open questions on a daily basis, yet Joe Biden didn’t show up for a press conference in six months is insane.

These guys are being extremely transparent. They don’t have to sit there and take the questions, but they do. It’s all on the website. It’s all out there.

Later on, the two men got in a heated discussion about FEMA spending millions of dollars on luxury hotels for migrants.

As the debate escalated, Cooper accused Sununu over putting words in his mouth.

“Don’t be a dick,” he remarked.

Cooper eventually apologized for his outburst.

“Before we go, I wanna apologize,” he said. “I was mean, I was rude to you.”

“Are you kidding?” Sununu responded. “I grew up with seven brothers and sisters, and I’m a Sununu.”

Former CNN ‘Journalist’ Makes a Stunning Admission About Fauci

Throughout Chris Cillizza’s long career as a “journalist” and “political commentator,” he has shown himself repeatedly to be a dutiful propagandist for the left, never daring to get even close to an independent thought and instead faithfully reflecting whatever the political and media elites wanted him to think. And that is still largely the case, but these are unusual times, and even Cillizza has demonstrated a shocking level of independence for a leftist journo, even daring to say that Donald Trump, the veritable focus of evil in the modern world, may have been right about something. Et tu, Cillizza? Yes: for the left, it has come even to this.

Cillizza wrote on X Monday: “I screwed up. Back in May 2020, I wrote how Anthony Fauci had ‘crushed’ Donald Trump’s lab-leak theory for how Covid-19 originated The CIA said over the weekend that they now believed the virus leaked from a lab.” 

To get an idea of how big this admission is, consider that Cillizza’s Substack bears a heading that boasts about Trump’s disdain for him: “So What: Donald Trump once called me ‘one of the dumber and least respected of the political pundits.’ So I got that going for me. I write about politics — mostly — with humor, transparency, and authenticity. 2-3 posts a day.” Well, he writes about politics, anyway, and actually approached some transparency and authenticity in his Monday thread on X.

Cillizza noted a recent assessment from the CIA — and they wouldn’t lie to us, now, would they? “Here’s a CIA spokesperson: ‘CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting.’” Since this so sharply differs from what the CIA and the entire political and media establishment were telling us at the time, it is worth crediting, even though it does come from the CIA. And Cillizza was man enough to recognize its implications for his previous “reporting.”

LOL: CNN Lady Can’t Cope With Trump’s Popularity Skyrocketing

CNN analyst Harry Enten detailed how President Trump’s popularity among Americans is skyrocketing as he continues to get things done and bring America back from the brink, but his CNN colleague couldn’t cope with it.

Enten pointed to a Reuters Ipsos poll that found Trump has a higher approval rating than ever.

“This is a very different Donald Trump,” Enten noted, adding “He’s leading a very different administration in the way he’s attacking things, and the American public is very much more in line with him than they were at any point during his entire first term.”

Anchor Kate Bolduan refused to accept the reality, whinging “One, I would say correction, this is not a very different Donald Trump,” she blathered.

Looking visibly angered, she whined in a high pitched shriek “I have a really hard time believing this,” as Enten explained that Trump is the only President in history to have a higher approval rating in his second term than in his first.

CNN liable for defaming Navy veteran in Jake Tapper segment, $5 million awarded

On Friday, a Florida jury found CNN guilty of defamation in a case brought forth by US Navy veteran Zachary Young against Jake Tapper and the network. Young alleged that Tapper had defamed him on his show. The verdict came after eight hours of deliberation.

Young was working to evacuate Afghans during the Biden administration’s chaotic military withdrawal from that nation in August 2021. Tapper misrepresented Young and his work and Young stated that he hasn’t been able to work since.

CNN was ordered to pay compensatory damages, with jurors still needing to decide how much the outlet will pay in punitive damages. The damages will be at least $5 million, Law & Crime said. “In sum,” they write, “jurors awarded Young $4 million for lost employment and $1 million for pain and suffering, and said that CNN should also be subject to punitive damages.”

According to the Free Beacon, Young alleged that a segment which aired in November 2021 on The Lead with Jake Tapper singled him out and portrayed him as an “illegal profiteer” who operated in a “black market.” Young, who said the segment irreparably destroyed his business, Nemex Enterprises, and reputation, worked to evacuate Afghans during the Biden-Harris administration’s deadly and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. He testified that since the segment ran. he hasn’t worked or made money. 

During closing arguments, CNN attorney David Axelrod claimed that the story was “accurate” and “tough but fair” and that Young should have gone out of his way to convince journalists with the outlet that he wasn’t “shady.”

“Mr. Young put himself in the story, not CNN. He inserted himself into it to make a buck,” Axelrod told the jury. He added, “Use your common sense. Do you see a conspiracy or do you see people just doing their best?”

Devin Freedman, Young’s lead attorney, told jurors, “This is supposed to be the most trusted name in news. CNN is so arrogant, they are so used to getting whatever they want.”

“But they stand up here and they talk down to us with bold-faced lies about what the segment’s gist really is, and they expect you to believe it,” he continued. “I mean, do they think we’re all stupid?”

During opening statements, Freedman said that they were able to confirm that 1.6 million people viewed the broadcast, with high-range estimates hitting 2.7 million. “The correction was seen by 942,000 people. But let’s be honest, the correction didn’t do anything. Doesn’t matter. The man can’t get hired. It doesn’t matter how many people saw it. They issued a correction because they were trying to get out of a lawsuit.”

Comedian Roasts 2024 on CNN Asking Why Trump Shooter Had No Silverware, Why So Many Presidents’ Chefs Dead 

Comedian Whitney Cummings joined CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast Tuesday and marked the end of 2024 by reciting a list of controversial topics the corporate media has suppressed.

At one point during the event, Cummings launched into a rant, declaring, “Since I only have a minute left live on establishment media, why don’t we just say a bunch of things that we know that they’ll never cover?”

She proceeded to highlight several news items the mainstream media has largely ignored – with CNN surprisingly allowing her to stay on air to share them.

“Trump’s shooter didn’t have any silverware in his house, no one thought that was weird?” Cummings asked quickly, referring to reports shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ home was “clean like a medical lab” when searched.

“Are we still rolling?” Cummings asked, going on to note, “The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia put money into Disney — so just know there won’t be any girl characters in the next ‘Cars’ movie.”

“Okay, are we still rolling? This is wild,” Cummings remarked, before asking, “Okay, Why so many presidents’ chef’s died? Weird.”

Over the past decade, two White House chefs – Walter Scheib, who worked under ex-Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush, and Tafari Campbell, who served the Obama family – both died by drowning.
