A Revealing Poll by NBC News Tells People How and What To Think

According to an NBC News poll, America is rooting for Ukraine but Trump prefers Russia. Seriously. That’s the gist of the headline.

The intent of this poll wasn’t to analyze how Americans think about the Russia-Ukraine War or Trump or military strength. It was to control how they think by giving them only the most constrained choices.

Let’s take a close look at the results and the NBC headline. According to NBC News:

When asked where they believe Trump’s sympathies are, 49% choose Russia, 40% say they think Trump favors neither side, and 8% choose Ukraine. Another 3% say they are not sure.

So, a majority of Americans, 51%, believe Trump is either carefully neutral on the war, a Ukraine supporter, or they don’t know. A minority (49%) believes he sympathizes with Russia. But the headline says Americans believe “Trump prefers Russia.”

Interestingly, I see no question about whether the Russia-Ukraine War should end after three long and bloody years so that lives are saved, or whether the U.S. should stop sending billions in weaponry to Ukraine with virtually no oversight as to where the weapons end up.

Further on, Americans are asked whether we should focus more on domestic affairs or whether we haven’t been strong enough globally. A majority of Americans believe we should focus on domestic affairs. But note how there’s no choice given for opposing war and preferring peace. Americans aren’t asked if they think the government is relying too much on military force. You have only two options: focus more at home, or strengthen the U.S. position abroad.

Interestingly, it’s Democrats who are most concerned with strengthening America’s position abroad, with nearly six out of ten taking this position, whereas six out of ten Republicans want to focus on domestic affairs. That is a remarkable result, as Democrats have supplanted Republicans as the party of military interventionism and “strength.”

Again, NBC didn’t bother to ask directly whether Americans would prefer peace and substantial reductions to military spending. You are not supposed to have those preferences, so you’re not asked about them.

Egg Price Collapse Scrambles Democrats’ Inflation Propaganda Against Trump

Democrats just had their egg-related misinformation and disinformation campaign against the president scrambled, as new USDA data reveals a third consecutive week of price declines at supermarkets. The drop follows President Trump’s recent countermeasures to stabilize national supply after the Biden-Harris administration’s reckless culling of 150 million egg-laying hens plunged the industry into turmoil and sparked egg-flation.

Even leftist ABC News had to acknowledge falling USDA egg prices. 

This followed weeks of Democrats and leftist corporate media attempting to pin the egg crisis on Trump. 

USDA egg prices hit a historic high of $8.17 per dozen on March 3, roughly two weeks ago. Since then, prices have more than halved.

Why Is the Media So Quiet About the Anti-Trump Violence That Is Erupting All Over the Nation?

If the left is this angry now, what do you think they will be like once President Trump and Elon Musk have had six more months to make major changes?  They are calling it “the anti-Trump resistance”, and all over the nation this movement is becoming increasingly violent.  If Trump supporters were using explosives, shooting up dealerships, setting vehicles on fire, stockpiling guns and throwing Molotov cocktails, the mainstream media would be going absolutely nuts.  But since it is radical leftists that are doing it, the mainstream media is treating the violence as if it is no big deal.

I asked Google AI to give me a definition of “terrorism”, and I was told that it is “generally understood as the calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to instill fear and coerce or intimidate governments or societies in pursuit of political, religious, or ideological goals”.

That is precisely what these anti-Trump leftists are doing.

They are literally using violence to advance their political goals…

Graffiti on a Tesla dealership sign. Molotov cocktails thrown in another dealership’s lot. Tesla charging stations set on fire. Across the country, the electric vehicle company’s facilities and vehicles are being hit with protests and violence over Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration.

A wave of anti-Tesla protests and attacks have occurred as Musk, Tesla’s CEO, takes a leading role in President Trump’s cost-cutting task force, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. The agency has cut thousands of jobs since its inception in January.

These are not “protests”.

What we are witnessing is terrorism on American soil.

CBS News Makes It Sound Like Abandoned Astronauts Were On Vacation

Reporting on Elon Musk’s SpaceX mission to rescue the two astronauts stranded on the ISS, CBS News made it sound like they have been on an extended holiday.

This X post linking to a story notes that NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have had a “9 month stay in space.”

Then within the story itself, CBS states “NASA’s next International Space Station crew blasted off Friday, finally clearing the way for Starliner astronauts Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore and Sunita Williams to be ferried home next week by two other outgoing station crew members, finally closing out an extended space odyssey.”

The pair were not inter-railing around Europe, they were left in space by the Biden administration on purpose after the Boeing Starliner capsule they travelled in was deemed unsafe for return.

They were supposed to be in space eight days, and could have been brought back months ago by Musk, but the Biden administration refused his offer of help, presumably because he had endorsed Trump.

Glorious: Broken MSNBC Host Needs Time Off Because Of ‘Trump Exhaustion’

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell whined to his colleague Rachel Maddow that he is so exhausted from reporting on President Trump that he is taking some time off.

Poor baby.

O’Donnell told Mr Maddow “I know you’ve pledged to cover and be here for the first hundred days of the Trump presidency. I hope you noticed that I did not make that same pledge when you did.”

He added, “This is day 52. I thought it was day 92. It turns out it’s day 52, Rachel, and I’m exhausted at day 52.”

“So I’m going to take next week off. And I’m telling you that now cause I know you don’t like it when I just drift away. I’m just taking next week off, then I can come back, and go with you all the way to the 100 days,” O’Donnell whimpered.

Mr Maddow responded, “You have to take care of yourself, you got to pace yourself” as if O’Donnell was about to run back to back marathons or something.

O’Donnell then had the temerity to claim that ” Donald Trump’s brain is broken, badly damaged, as he exhibits every day.”

Who has the broken brain here?

“Can I go with you?” Maddow added.

Trump Declares War on Fake News: Says Media’s Biased Coverage is ‘ILLEGALLY’ Swaying Judges Rulings and ‘MUST BE STOPPED’

President Donald Trump has fired a blistering warning shot at the mainstream media, declaring CNN, MSNBC (or, as he calls them, MSDNC), and other leftist outlets as “corrupt” and “illegal” for their blatant propaganda designed to manipulate public perception and, even worse, sway judicial rulings.

For years, the mainstream media has colluded with the radical left to paint a distorted reality where Trump is the villain and their corrupt Democrat allies are the heroes. Viewers who rely on cable news across the globe are being fed this manipulated reality, and the consequences are dangerous.

Speaking in a rare address at the Department of Justice, Trump did not hold back, laying out the case against the so-called “news” networks that operate more like the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party than actual journalism.

“I believe that CNN and MSDNC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they’re really corrupt, and they’re illegal. What they do is—it’s legal,” Trump said, leaving no room for interpretation.

“It makes no difference how big a victory I had. I can have the biggest victory in history. It makes no difference what a failure the other side has—these people are going to go after me…

He went further, declaring that the media’s deliberate distortion of the truth is swaying judicial rulings, making fair trials impossible in America.

“These networks and these newspapers are really no different than a highly paid political operative, and it has to stop. It has to be illegal.

“It’s influencing judges, and it’s really changing the law. And it just cannot be legal. I don’t believe it’s legal. And they do it in total coordination with each other,” Trump said.

NPR Complains Trump Budget Cuts Hurt a Kansas College, Turns Out It’s a “Dropout Factory” with a Prior 9% Graduation Rate

It should come as no surprise that National Public Radio has been propagandizing its aging leftist listeners against the Trump budget cuts, highlighting supposed abuses.

One such recent example is a profile of the Women’s Basketball team at Haskell University, a small college for Native Americans in Kansas. The coverage of the controversy complains about an alleged quarter of its staff who are laid off because they are probationary employees of the federal government.

NPR’s coverage of the University highlights its positives, but omits key details and context that would give its readers a better perspective on why these cuts might be in the best interests of taxpayers and even the students involved.

A lawsuit has been filed to force Trump to fund the Indian college. The federal government funds the college as part of an 1884 Indian treaty.

The case is styled as Pueblo of Isleta et. al v. Secretary of the Department of the Interior, et. al, case number 1:25-cv-00696-AHA  . The student plaintiffs are Ella Bowen, Kaiya Brown, Danielle Ledesma, Victor Organista, and Aiyanna Tanyan. Their attorney is Matthew Lee Campbell of the Native American Rights Fund, out of Boulder, Colorado. Two other attorneys have applied to enter the case Pro Hac Vice: Jacqueline De Leon and Malia Gesuale. The case has been assigned to federal Judge Amir Ali, a 2024 Biden appointee.

The complaint primarily concerns the fact that the various Indian tribes were not consulted prior to the budget cuts.

NPR makes it seem like this is another step in the trail of tears for America’s native population.

“That it would be affected by these executive actions and cuts in budgets, you know, add it to the list of broken promises,” said Bo Schneider, a member of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, to National Public Radio.

The 54 page, 8 count legal complaint, which includes four students as plaintiffs, complains that they aren’t able to make progress towards their degrees.

However, public records and data suggest that few were likely to ever graduate, because the college has such an awful academic record that 9-30% of the students are likely to graduate.

Here’s How the Media Is Covering up Plunging Egg Prices

Earlier this week, we reported that the price of a dozen eggs, which had reached a record high of $8.17 in early March, had fallen by more than two dollars, now sitting well below the $7 average when President Trump took office in January. As I pointed out at the time, this was bad news for Democrats, who had hoped that sky-high egg prices would be the silver bullet to drive down Trump’s approval ratings and fuel a Democratic resurgence. But with egg prices continuing to drop, the left-wing media has now stepped in to claim that egg prices are still on the rise.

According to Trading Economics, the price of a dozen eggs is now below $5/dozen, lower than they were around Christmastime last year. But the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know that.

Reporting on the declining rate of inflation in February, ABC News didn’t report on the latest egg prices. Instead, the network declared, “Egg prices, however, a closely watched symbol of price increases, soared 58.8% in February compared to a year ago, accelerating from the previous month.”

They weren’t alone. 

“Egg Prices Are Still Surging, Hitting Consumers’ Wallets,” the New York Times claimed in a headline on Wednesday, even though egg prices were actually declining.

“Egg prices continued their upward climb in February despite some easing in overall inflation, further straining consumers seeking relief from rising prices in the grocery aisles,” the article noted, completely ignoring the sharp decline in March.

MarketWatch was no better.

The cost of eggs jumped a little more than 10% in February after a 15% increase in January — and prices are likely to remain high for a while.

The surge in egg prices stems from outbreaks of the avian flu that have resulted in millions of chickens being slaughtered. It takes at least several months for egg-laying chickens to repopulate.

Not only that, but Easter is just around the corner. It’s the biggest egg-selling period of the year and is likely to keep upward pressure on egg prices given the increased demand.

The Trump administration has announced its intention to lower the cost of eggs, but the effort is just getting under way, and it’s unclear whether and how it will work.

Yahoo! Finance also ignored the recent data to cover up the sharp decline in egg prices.

Leftists Embrace Bizarre New Trump Talking Point…

There’s a new weird leftist talking point that President Trump is hiding from the media because they’re great at holding him to account… or something.

This despite Trump literally holding press conferences and answering reporters’ questions inside the Oval Office practically every day.

CNN host Kaitlin Collins claimed that Trump is purposefully keeping away the press because the economy is “tanking.”

Literally within minutes of Collins saying this on air, Trump was again taking questions from reporters.

Fiery But Peaceful: MSNBC Describes Violent Attacks On Tesla Dealerships As ‘Protests’

MSNBC had its own ‘fiery but peaceful’ moment when anchors claimed that violent attacks on Tesla facilities are perfectly legal ‘protests.’

Attackers have put staff in danger and even set fire to Tesla dealerships and charging stations, but the MSNBC hosts were visibly annoyed that President Trump agreed the actions could constitute domestic terrorism.

One of them whined “you have this post claiming that protests at Tesla dealerships are illegal.”

She added that Trump “said today he would label violence against dealerships as domestic terrorism… So just to be clear, you protest a private company, you are labeled by this administration a domestic terrorist.”
