The leftist media, which for years has whinged that President Trump is an isolationist, is now hilariously complaining that Trump has become an ‘expansionist’, even claiming that he’s about to use the military to invade Greenland, Canada and other countries.
CNN’s TDS suffering hater at large Dana Bash asserted Tuesday that Trump is preparing “a military invasion to conquer Greenland, the Panama Canal and perhaps the annexation of the country of Canada.”
Of course, this is absolute horse cack.
The Washington Post lost more than $70 million dollars last year and rather than trying a course correction, they doubled down on woke. One of their cartoonists recently resigned because Jeff Bezos nixed her anti-Trump cartoon that also criticized her own paper.
Now the paper is laying off dozens of staffers. It turns out decisions have consequences.
Like many other liberal media outlets, the Washington Post has become a captive of their most far left readers. They can’t triangulate politically because they would lose the last group of readers that they have left.
Breitbart News reports:
Report — ‘The Cuts Will Be Deep’: Washington Post to Lay Off Dozens of Staffers
The Washington Post will reportedly lay off dozens of its staffers in the next few days, the news coming after the publication caught flak for not endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris (D) during the presidential election that Donald Trump won in November.
In his article published on Status, Oliver Darcy wrote Sunday that “the layoffs are slated to hit the Jeff Bezos-owned and Will Lewis-led newspaper’s business division, I’m told. One person familiar with the matter said that the cuts will be deep, impacting many dozens of employees.”
Bezos has reportedly been shaking up the Post after it decided not to endorse Harris, according to Breitbart News.
Darcy continued:
The layoffs will surely deplete morale further inside the beleaguered newspaper, which has suffered a talent exodus over the last several weeks. As I reported earlier, star reporter Josh Dawsey will exit The Post for a job at The Wall Street Journal. His departure comes on the heels of other top staffers fleeing, including Matea Gold, Ashely Parker, Michael Scherer, Charles Lane, Tyler Pager, and Amanda Katz.
January 6th rolled around again Monday and provided the leftist corporate media with an excuse to once again declare the date some sort of Pearl Harbour or 9/11 like anniversary, purely to smear Trump supporters.
The View host Sunny Hostin went even further by directly comparing the events of January 6th 2021 to slavery and the holocaust.
Yes, really.
Hostin stated “After January 6th, I think we need to find moral clarity, you know, in this country. I just remember after January 6th, you had someone like Mitch McConnell placing the blame on January 6th where it belonged, squarely on Donald Trump’s shoulders.”
She continued, “And then you started seeing people backtrack that and losing their moral center. You had Condoleezza Rice, I believe, on this very show saying, you know, we need to move on from January 6th.”
“I say no, you don’t move on, because January 6th was an atrocity. It was one of the worst moments in American history,” Hostin continued to blather.
“And when you think about the worst moments in American history, you know, like World War II, things that happened, you know, like the Holocaust, chattel slavery, we need to never forget. Because past becomes prologue if you forget and erase,” she concluded.
As usual, the state propagandists at The Guardian—who evidently despise investigative journalism—have produced standard government PR spin to promote the emerging UK dictatorship. In this case, off the back of the appalling injustice committed at Richard D. Hall’s trial, The Guardian is supporting a proposed law which, if enacted, will destroy the independent media.
The envisaged “Eve’s Law”—nominally advocated by Martin Hibbert, the claimant in Hall’s kangaroo court hearing—presents no threat to The Guardian. It will censor only independent investigative journalists who question power. The subject is of no concern to The Guardian, a bastion of the legacy media.
The Guardian’s stated mission is to “change the world” and “build hope.” The essential duty of the news media—namely, to act as a public check on the branches of government—was long ago abandoned by the legacy media and is now anathema to them. The legacy media unquestioningly serves the public-private partnership we call “the state.” Certainly, The Guardian is no exception.
The alleged Manchester Arena bombing occurred on 22nd May 2017. Although nearly eight years have passed, the incident is viewed by the UK government as the most important UK “terrorist attack” of the 21st century. It is the event the UK state continues to exploit to supposedly justify some of its most dictatorial legislation. Widespread public belief in the Manchester story remains crucial to government plans.
To hear the mainstream media tell the tale, Jan. 6, 2021, was the worst moment in our nation’s history. While there’s no denying that the incursion on the Capitol was an unfortunate event, the media and the Biden administration’s overreaction to it was even worse.
Four years later as Congress gathers to certify another presidential election, the 2021 incident is still fresh on the minds of leftists. The NBC News liveblog about today’s election certification is full of references to four years ago. One of those references is a ridiculous assertion that Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) made “false claims” in a post on X on Monday morning.
Collins, who has a reputation for humorous posts on X, wrote:
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2021, thousands of peaceful grandmothers gathered in Washington, D.C., to take a self-guided, albeit unauthorized, tour of the U.S. Capitol building.
Earlier that day, President Trump held a rally, where supporters walked to the Capitol to peacefully protest the certification of the 2020 election. During this time, some individuals entered the Capitol, took photos, and explored the building before leaving.
Since then, hundreds of peaceful protestors have been hunted down, arrested, held in solitary confinement, and treated unjustly. Countless hours and taxpayer dollars have been spent pursuing innocent grandmothers and raiding President Trump’s home, while terrorists and millions of illegal immigrants continue to cross our nation’s borders, causing havoc in our communities.
Thankfully, President Trump has announced that, on day one of his presidency, he will grant pardons to nonviolent defendants.
Full disclosure: Collins is my congressman, and I think the world of him. I also enjoy his sense of humor on social media.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell elicited backlash Friday for declaring that US veterans represent a greater terror threat than the undocumented illegal immigrants crossing over the border in their hundreds of thousands per month.
Reacting to the two new year’s day terror attacks on his program watched by practically nobody now, O’Donnell declared “The simple fact is, this country has suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military than people who have crossed into this country at the southern border.”
“It is very clear from the evidence that if you want to worry about terrorism in this country, the United States Army is a much bigger problem than the southern border,” he further proclaimed.
O’Donnell then referred to Timothy McVeigh, the domestic terrorist behind the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, to argue that American veterans have carried out more violent acts in the US than illegal immigrants have.
“Timothy McVeigh parked a truck outside that building loaded with explosives in an act of homegrown American terrorism,” O’Donnell stated.
A recent terror attack in New Orleans was carried out by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an ISIS-inspired individual who killed 14 people on Bourbon Street.
The FBI investigation revealed that Jabbar, a former US Army veteran and IT professional, had a bomb-making station in his Houston home and posted disturbing videos before the attack.
His background includes military service, successful IT career, failed marriages, and financial struggles before his radicalization.
“First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point: this was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act. This was obviously a critical incident, and with that, lots of information and tips come pouring in from law enforcement, first responders, and the public,” FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia said in a press conference.
“We also have a scene off Mandeville Street, where we’re currently searching. FBI and ATF agents have secured that house, and that location is being searched for potential evidence.”
“Three phones linked to Jabbar have been recovered, and digital media exploitation is a priority to see what is on the devices and determine if there are any other potential leads. Additionally, we have recovered two laptops and are currently reviewing them for any potential leads. Those laptops were recovered at the Mandeville address,” said Raia.
Recall, following the attack, the FBI announced that they are carrying out “law enforcement activity” in Houston, Texas, in connection to the New Orleans terrorist attack.
“FBI Houston and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office are currently conducting law enforcement activity near the intersection of Hugh Road and Crescent Peak Drive in north Houston. We have secured a perimeter in that area and are asking people to avoid the area. FBI Houston personnel and specialized teams will be on-site for several hours. This activity is related to this morning’s New Orleans attack, but due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, no further information can be provided,” the statement reads.
Now, investigations into Jabbar’s Houston residence revealed a bomb-making station in his bedroom, with various chemicals and equipment associated with explosive devices.
Notably, a Quran was found open to Verse 9:111, which discusses martyrdom. Authorities also discovered improvised explosive devices in coolers placed near the attack site, indicating premeditation.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) announced Wednesday the suspension of Al-Jazeera’s operations in the Palestinian West Bank, citing alleged violations of Palestinian laws and ‘interference’.
The major Qatar-based outlet is accused of “manipulation, interference in internal affairs, and dissemination of misleading and incendiary reports,” according to a statement in the official Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The broadcaster has been further blamed for “reports that were deceiving and stirring strife” in the context of the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) effort to crackdown on unauthorized armed groups.
For the past more than two weeks the PA has laid police siege to the Jenin refugee camp in an effort to root out the Jenin Brigade and associated factions. The PA has called the groups “outlaws” and “Iranian gangs” which are operating in the camp.
At least nine Palestinians have been killed as a result of the assault, including reportedly children. The PA had already banned Al Jazeera from reporting from inside Jenin amid the crisis.
Al Jazeera issued a Thursday statement saying it was “shocked by this decision” and is urging an immediate reversal of the temporary ban, for which there hasn’t been a timetable. It has confirmed its coverage has moved to Jordan.
The outlet has charged the PA with “an attempt to hide the truth about events in the occupied territories, especially what is happening in Jenin and its camps.”
Months ago Israeli commandoes raided Al Jazeera’s West Bank offices and seized equipment and ordered the bureau closed.
As early as October 2023, soon after the Oct.7 Hamas terror attacks, Israel moved to ban Al Jazeera from having offices in Tel Aviv or operating anywhere in Israel.
About last year: PolitiFact, the independent fact-checking website run by the Poynter Institute, bestowed another odious distinction on President-elect Donald Trump. The organization dubbed a statement uttered by Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance the “Lie of the Year.”
PolitiFact has christened a Lie of the Year every year since 2009, and in only two of those years did statements made by Democrats earn the top prize. In 2011, PolitiFact slammed Democrats for claiming that Republicans would vote to end Medicare, and in 2013, the organization concluded that President Barack Obama’s solemn promise—”If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan”—was plainly untrue. But in every other year, PolitiFact has singled out right-leaning purveyors of mistruths.
This year is no different. In 2024, PolitiFact’s Lie of the Year is the claim by Trump that Haitian migrants in an Ohio town were “eating people’s pets.”
“With a brazen disregard for facts, Donald Trump and his running mate repeatedly peddled a created story that in Springfield, Ohio, Haitian immigrants were eating pet dogs and cats,” observes the organization.
The Republican ticket’s disregard for the facts in this case was indeed brazen. It was completely untrue that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating people’s pet dogs and cats. What happened was that various concerns about migrants supposedly hunting birds in public parks in Springfield, Ohio, got lumped together with an unrelated story of someone killing a pet cat in a completely different town. It’s a textbook example of why you shouldn’t automatically believe everything you see on social media. Trump and Vance did real harm here, and it’s absolutely fair to call them out for smearing the immigrant population of Springfield, Ohio.
But was this really the Lie of the Year?
No matter how much you hate the leftist media and MSNBC in particular, it’s not enough.
Now the Democrats have lost everything and Biden is leaving office, they are finally admitting that his disastrous administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants and how it “was not Biden’s finest moment.”
The grumpy chart guy said,“The border was not Biden’s finest moment, frankly. You can see what happened here. And Trump is not wrong when he talks about how border crossings work quite low. They’re running about 74,000 a month when he left office and they, in fact, did shoot up. Some of it was some things Biden said and some ways that they put a moratorium, for example, on deportations. But in fact, we did get up here almost to 300,000 a month.”
Yeah we know.
