BBC Vows to Fight Trump’s $10 BILLION Defamation Lawsuit After Splicing J6 Speech to Depict Trump Calling for Violence

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has vowed to fight Trump’s $10 million lawsuit against the broadcaster for defamation and violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act after they were caught deceptively editing Trump’s January 6 speech to make it appear he was calling for violence. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump told reporters on Monday that he would imminently be filing a defamation lawsuit against the BBC after announcing his intention to do so last month.

“In a little while, you’ll be seeing, I’m suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth,” Trump said in the Oval Office.

“They actually have me speaking with words that I never said, and they got caught because I believe somebody at BBC said this is so bad it has to be reported. That’s called fake news.

N.Y. Times Contributor Who Went on Bigoted Anti-White Tirade Smears Jillian Michaels as ‘White Nationalist’ 

Former Democrat and celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels stunned New York Times contributor Wajahat Ali after he tried to smear her as a “white nationalist.”

During an episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Ali attacked Michaels for expressing valid concerns about Islamic extremism. Ali suggested her views are outdated, and then he doubled down, calling Michaels a white nationalist.

Ali stated, “Ahmad Al-Ahmad is a 43-year-old Muslim fruit vendor who, unarmed, decided to bumrush one of the terrorists, disarmed him, took the gun while he was being shot at. He was shot twice. I didn’t realize this at first when I saw that amazing video. But then I later saw that he was shot twice. He held off the other shooter, and he saved lives.”

“In Germany, in March, there was a deranged Saudi national who, by the way, became radicalized by AfD and this type of white nationalism, and ended up hating Islam. He rammed a truck in a terrorist attack through a crowd. You know who stopped him? A Pakistani Muslim cab driver in Germany stopped him.,” he continued.

“When there was an attack on Jews in was in France a couple of years ago, there was an African-Black immigrant who protected them.”

“This is the story of an individual who decided to lean into empathy and decency and compassion and squared off against two individuals who were radicalized, we don’t know how, and saw Jews as the target through their dehumanization. There are 1. 7 billion Muslim people on Earth. Gillian’s talking points are from 2001, which is why I yawned.”

“The DeLorean right now is in 2025.”

Michaels cut in, “They’re not at all, actually.”

Ali continued, “Listen, I’ve been in this for a long time, Gillian. I know you’re discovering this. Congratulations. Let me just finish. I let you say a lot of hateful, stupid, reckless things about Muslim and Islam.

“You want to say 1%? That’s 20 million people,” Michael pressed.

“Gillian, you are….”

“You still have 16 dead, Wajahat.”

“You, by your own admission, are a white nationalist. By your own admission, that’s what you are, a white nationalist. You admitted it,” Ali stated. “I saw the clip.”

“You know I’m Arab, right?” Michaels asked. ” I’m Syrian and Lebanese and Turkish.”

“You’re the one who said it. I didn’t say it. That’s why I was shocked,” Ali continued.

“When did I say I was a white nationalist?” Michaels asked. “When was that?”

“You’re not a white nationalist?” Ali pressed.  “Wasn’t there a clip saying you were a white nationalist? When was that? You’re not a white nationalist.”

“No,” Michaels stated emphatically.

“Okay, interesting. Interesting to know. All right,” he replied.

Michaels then pressed Ali, “Where’s the clip that I said it was a white nationalist?”

A stuttering Ali answered, “I’m under the mistaken impression. I thought you were a white nationalist. I’m glad you’re not. But let me just finish. Since 2001…..”

Michaels cut in, “I’m a not a white nationalist. How about a little homework, Wajahat.”

“How about just a little?”

“All right, let’s do homework. Let’s do homework. Since 2001, Piers, since 2001, you and me, we were against the war on terror. We said that the war on terror would be disastrous. We said that the war on terror, America’s response to 19 foreign hijackers bringing down the two towers would cause immense chaos, dissension. What happened? America went to war with Iraq and Afghanistan off of terrible evidence, off of the same type of bullshit that Gillian is saying right now. If even 1% of Muslims, yada, yada, yada. What happened?”

“It’s all fact-based. You want me to cite the resources?” Michaels pressed. “Where would you like me to start? Pew Research, Counter Terrorism Discourse estimates, the European Court of Human Rights…..Are you kidding me?”

A petulant Ali continued….”Gillian, let me finish. Over 1 million Iraqis were killed. Afghans were killed and tortured. And it led to the radicalization of ISIS. It brought nothing but pain and misery in division.  Muslims, Jews, aren’t going anywhere, folks. We’re in this together. And what we have to realize that there are hate mongers who seek to divide us right now, like Gillian, who want to bring up Islamophobia and anti-seminism.”

“Actually, I’m not trying to divide us at all, Wajahat ” Michaels affirmed. “You’re the one actually has tried to divide us.”

Pundits Blame Sydney Slaughter on Protest Slogan

Australian officials are still learning about the individuals who carried out the Bondi Beach attack, killing more than a dozen Jews celebrating Hanukkah in Sydney. But the pundits, with their magnifying glasses and meerschaum pipes, have cracked the case. The culprit is: pro-Palestine protesters.

“When people chant ‘intifada revolution,’ they are revealing something important about their goals and methods,” wrote noted Iraq War enthusiast David Frum (Atlantic, 12/14/25). “Yet in many Western countries, public authorities have been reluctant—or unwilling—to hear the message.” Frum went on:

It is helpful to possess a lexicon of what is typically intended by these vocabularies. Armed struggle means shooting people or blowing them up with bombs. By any means necessary means targeting the most defenseless: children, the elderly, other civilians. Globalize the intifada means shooting or bombing people in Sydney, London, Paris, Toronto, Los Angeles and New York City, as well as in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. From the river to the sea means the annihilation of a sovereign democratic state and the mass murder, expulsion and enslavement of much of its population.

Experts agree: There is no such thing as “Super Flu”.

Currently, the headlines all across the United Kingdom, and a handful of other nations, are full of references to “Super Flu”.

There is no such thing as “Super Flu”.

It is a term with no scientific meaning or even a solid definition. To confirm this we need look no further than this report from Channel 4 News:

NHS England is calling it a ‘super flu’, which is in fact its own phrase rather than anything scientific.

Or, even more tellingly, there is Devi Shridhar — the High Priestess of Covid hysteria herself — whose Guardian column is headlined “Don’t Call it the Super Flu”, and begins:

I should start by saying “super flu” is not a scientific term or one used by any academics or clinicians I work with. It’s a colloquial phrase that’s been used by various NHS England bosses and taken up by Wes Streeting, the health secretary, and Keir Starmer.

That’s that then. The experts have spoken: “Super Flu” is a colloquial phrase with no actual meaning.

So why does everyone keep describing the incipient flu season in those terms?

To quote Shridar again:

Amid all the noise, it’s difficult to know how bad this flu really is – and how much is political spin.

Isn’t it just?

Maybe it’s time we found out how bad this flu really is, and what about it (if anything) is “super”.

First, we should ask: Doe this flu have different symptoms? Or are the symptoms more severe?

It doesn’t, and they are not, as Dr Giuseppe Aragona tells the Independent [emphasis added]:

The symptoms and severity of H3N2 illness have been similar to seasonal flu, including fever, cough, runny nose, and possibly other symptoms, such as body aches, vomiting, or diarrhoea.

Ok, so its symptoms are common and not unusually severe. Then maybe it’s more transmissible? Or deadly?

Nope. At least, not according to the WHO experts quoted in Politico [emphasis added]:

While hospital admissions have been rising sharply due to the early arrival of flu season, there is currently no evidence that this season’s variant is more deadly or transmissible, experts at the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) told POLITICO.

OK, let’s sum up what we know so far:

  • This flu has no unusual symptoms.
  • Its symptoms are not unusually severe.
  • It is not any more transmissible than normal.
  • It is no more deadly than normal.

It seems there is nothing even odd about this flu, let alone “super”.

A lot of the news coverage is focusing on the potential danger to the NHS, with headlines warning this is “beyond catastrophic” and “pushing the NHS to the brink”.

NBC News Stirs the ‘Systemic Racism’ Pot With Update on Once-Inaccessible Activities

For years, the Left — aided by the media — have said certain activities are “inaccessible” to Black Americans, and blamed “systemic racism” for the exclusion of specific demographics. Some of those racist things included milk, Sydney Sweeney’s jeans, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, skiing, cycling, and weight loss.

Now, NBC News is back to stir the racism pot again with an update to that “systemic” and “exclusionary” racism by announcing that people who always had access to these activities are now accessing them.

Here’s more:

Tonya Parker was not looking to add another activity to her life. She traveled the world as a flight attendant and regularly practiced ballet and yoga. She was not searching for new friends, either. After attending Spelman College in Atlanta, she had plenty.

With two grown children who made her proud, Parker’s life was full — or so she thought.

The Covid-19 pandemic led her to a sport she had considered mundane: golf. She was invited to a few golf events and participated. She struggled. But one day, thinking of how tired she was of her friends making fun of her golf game, Parker secretly began taking lessons. Soon enough, her friends noticed improvement. And she noticed her own growing passion for the sport.

Remember, when White people engage in activities like belly dancing, drum circles, hip-hop dancing, and other activities, that’s “cultural appropriation” and inherently evil.

French Public Broadcaster Claims Christmas Markets Are a Tradition Tied to the Nazis

A French public broadcaster has been accused of spreading anti-Christian messaging by saying that the tradition of Christmas markets is tied to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis.

This week, taxpayer-funded Franceinfo published a video titled “Christmas markets, a tradition rehabilitated by the Nazis” on social media, which, according to Le Figaro, opened with the question: “Did you know there’s a link between the Nazis and our beloved Christmas markets?”

The broadcaster went on to claim that the tradition was “largely revived” by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party under Adolph Hitler in the 1930s as a means of promoting economic growth by encouraging the purchase of goods made in Germany at Christmas markets.

While Franceinfo journalist Antoine Milan Depeuille acknowledged that Christmas markets predate the formation of the Nazi party by hundreds of years during the Holy Roman Empire and spread widely across the continent during the Industrial Revolution, he claimed that they made a “strong comeback” in Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s after being pushed to the periphery of cities by “elites”.

“With the Nazi dictatorship, Christmas became a nationalist holiday. Christmas markets helped promote German heritage,” and “stimulate the economy with products made in Germany,” he said, claiming that the Nazis “decided to reinstate Christmas markets in city centres”.

Amid steep backlash on social media, with the broadcaster facing accusations of anti-Christian bias, Franceinfo removed the video from its accounts.

The public broadcaster’s move to tie Christmas markets to the Nazis was hailed by the French Communist Party-aligned L’Humanité newspaper, which declared: “Franceinfo is right: our Christmas markets do indeed have a link with the Nazis! Much to the dismay of the far right, which seeks to rewrite history while also attacking public service in the process.”

Arkansas will become first state to end PBS affiliation

Arkansas’ statewide public television network will end its affiliation with PBS starting in July 2026, the Arkansas Educational Television Commission announced this week.

The station, formerly known as Arkansas PBS, will also rebrand as Arkansas TV.

The commission cited a $2.5 million reduction in annual federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the cost of PBS membership fees as factors in its decision. A news release announcing the move called the dues “simply not feasible.”

Programming is expected to remain largely unchanged through June 30, 2026. After that date, the network plans to introduce locally produced programming, including children’s, food and history series currently in development, as well as “favorites from the last 60 years.”

“Public television in Arkansas is not going away,” Executive Director and CEO Carlton Wing said in the release. “In fact, we invite you to join our vision for an increased focus on local programming, continuing to safeguard Arkansans in times of emergency and supporting our K-12 educators and students. … We are confident that we can secure ongoing and increased support from individual donors, foundation partners and corporate sponsors who see the value in investing in new local programming that serves our state.”

PBS content will continue to be accessible to Arkansas residents through other platforms, Arkansas TV said.

In response to the announcement, a PBS spokesperson told Nexstar’s KNWA that Arkansas TV’s decision to end membership “is a blow to Arkansans who will lose free, over-the-air access to quality PBS programming they know and love.”

The spokesperson cited a June 2025 YouGov survey, which PBS said showed strong support for the network in the state. According to the company, the survey found a majority of survey participants opposed limiting funding for PBS and agreed that its programming was beneficial for children and the community.

Half of U.S. has hepatitis B? Media’s go-to vaccine expert gets fact-checked for puzzling interview

One of the most media-savvy vaccine advocates in the U.S., perhaps second only to record-breaking federal pensioner Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, has allegedly been caught falsely claiming he was not invited to address a federal vaccine advisory panel’s recent meeting and spreading wildly inflated numbers on hepatitis B infections, a subject of the meeting.

The perceived gotcha on Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia but also a skeptic of COVID-19 boosters for healthy young people, prompted critics to flag other instances in which Offit allegedly refused to engage and to pick apart his media appearances and choice of venues, such as entertainment-focused TMZ.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials “repeatedly” contacted Offit to present at its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ meeting last week, “via emails, phone calls and a speaker-request form,” physician-turned-investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi wrote this week, contradicting Offit’s claim to CNN on Dec. 5 on day two of ACIP’s meeting.

“I actually wasn’t invited to present at today’s meeting” but rather invited in October “to speak about vaccines to this group,” Offit told the host in the 9-minute interview when she asked why he declined to speak. (He has appeared on CNN several times this year.)

Offit then tried to redirect the conversation toward how ACIP had become an “anti-vaccine advisory committee” that threatens children’s health by no longer recommending COVID vaccines by default. He didn’t elaborate on how young children “clearly … benefit” from COVID vaccination, given their near-nil risk of serious harm from the virus. 

When the host pressed Offit to clarify what he thought the October invitation meant, he said he received a “vague recommendation to come speak to us” but not to speak “about this subject” – hepatitis B vaccination, whose recommendations ACIP changed later that day to wait two months to vaccinate newborns whose mothers test negative for the virus.

Another Faulty ‘Climate Change’ Study Gets Busted

This time of year, it’s not unusual for parents of younger elementary school kids to start having discussions of when their son or daughter will get wise to the reality of Santa Claus. At some point, one parent may say to another, “How old were you when you quit believing?” 

That brings me to the same question, different myth. How old were you when you quit believing in man-made climate change? Or man-made global warming? Or man-made global cooling? 

Before going any further, since we do have our share of lib readers, I want to make one thing absolutely clear to them before the fake misinterpretations happen. Conservatives don’t dispute that the client shifts day to day. That’s called “the weather.” And we don’t dispute that the planet’s climate isn’t constantly evolving. We are not Ice Age deniers. 

But when you come out every presidential cycle and predict the end of the world in the next ten years (conveniently the time it takes for a run-up campaign and two presidential terms), we’re skeptical. Not because we’re scientists or science experts. Rather, it’s because we are used to being lied to, and we know how that goes. The tip-off for us, usually, is when all of your climate solutions focus on raising taxes and increasing government restrictions on American citizens. Then later, when we see all this money going to NGOs and a whole “climate change” economy, it kinda feels like a massive grift. 

So excuse us if we’re nonplussed when we see that the journal Nature has had to retract a 2024 study that sought to estimate the amount of harm global warming will do to the global economy in the decades to come. I mean, the very premise of the study already raises a red flag. Did the study seek to estimate actual climate impacts on the economy, and how do you do that? Or did it seek to estimate the impact climate alarmists would have on the global economy through their own push for increased regulation and higher taxes? 

That’s like when people talk about how the pandemic impacted the economy, when in fact it was government’s overreaction to a novel cold virus that actually devastated the economy. 

As for Nature, here’s what happened. Researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) contributed a paper to Nature, and it was published April 17, 2024 under the title “The Economic Commitment of Climate Change.” The paper projected the economic costs of climate change by the middle of this century by relying on historical temperature, precipitation and economic data. 

On Dec. 3 of this year, not even two weeks ago, Nature officially announced the paper was retracted, because “post-publication reviews” found the results were so off-target that a simple correction of the paper’s errors wouldn’t suffice. 

In other words, the paper was a joke, and once it saw the light of day, some smart people caught some glaring errors, and Nature couldn’t cover for it.
