President Donald Trump was named TIME Magazine Person of the Year on Thursday morning.
TIME Magazine refused to use the iconic image of President Trump facing the assassin’s bullet.
That would be obvious and too honest for the TIME staff.
TIME also couldn’t help themselves and fake fact-checked President Trump on the link between vaccines and Autism.
TIME says without hesitation that there is no link. They got this from Big Pharma.
Millions of Americans today would disagree.
The early morning murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was met on social media with a “torrent of hate” for health insurance executives (New York Times, 12/5/24). Memes mocking the insurance companies and their callous disregard for human life abound on various platforms (AFP, 12/6/24).
Internet users are declaring that the man police believe to be the shooter, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, is certifiably hot (Rolling Stone, 12/9/24; KFOX, 12/10/24). A lookalike contest for the shooter was held in lower Manhattan (New York Times, 12/7/24).
If so many people are unsympathetic at best in response to such a killing, that might be a reason to revisit why health insurance companies are so loathed. The rage “was shocking to many, but it crossed communities all along the political spectrum, and took hold in countless divergent cultural clusters,” the New York Times (12/6/24) noted. Mangione was reportedly found with an anti-insurance manifesto that stated “these parasites had it coming” (Newsweek, 12/9/24), echoing a resentment largely felt by a lot of Americans, and targeted fury at UnitedHealthcare specifically.
UnitedHealthcare has always stood out for exceptionally high rate of claims denial generally in the industry (Boston Globe, 12/5/24; Forbes, 12/5/24). For example, a Senate committee found that “UnitedHealthcare’s prior authorization denial rate for post-acute care jumped from 10.9% in 2020 to 22.7% in 2022” (WNYW, 12/7/24).
The Times (12/5/24) reported that the Senate committee found that “three major companies—UnitedHealthcare, Humana and CVS, which owns Aetna—were intentionally denying claims” related to falls and strokes in order to boost profits. UnitedHealthcare “denied requests for such nursing stays three times more often than it did for other services.”
Reuters is at it again with their team of ‘fact checkers’. They’re targeting The Babylon Bee, a satirical website, over an article that states the most favoured farewell in the UK, ‘cheerio mate’ has been replaced with ‘Allahu Akbar.’
The humorous satire piece states, “A recent poll conducted by the University of Oxford just revealed that ‘Allahu Akbar’ has officially replaced ‘Cheerio, mate!’ as the most popular greeting in the UK,” adding that experts called the results of the “survey” a “flippin’ landslide, old bean.”
Kyle Mann, the Editor-in-Chief of the Babylon Bee, shared the lunacy on X, noting that “Reuters fact-checkers reached out for comment on our Babylon Bee story about ‘Allahu Akbar’ replacing ‘Cheerio Mate’ in the UK. I tried to help them out.”Mann then shared screenshots of the ridiculous message he was sent by Reuters
TV has a physiological impact on the brain, deteriorating mind activity and potentially turning it into a “mashed potato” state, with some speculating it’s part of a larger project for control and domination.
Research suggests that prolonged exposure to television can be detrimental one’s life, with some studies indicating that children who watch three to four hours of non-educational TV daily will have seen almost 8,000 murders by the end of grade school.
At the time the documentary was made, Dr. Dmitry Csokas was a paediatrician and Director of Seattle Children’s Hospital. His research found that exposing developing brains to rapid sequencing of television programmes, particularly baby digital video discs (“DVDs”), can precondition the mind to expect high levels of input, leading to shorter attention spans later in life.
Research has progressed to developing a mouse model to study the effects of overstimulation on the developing brain, exposing newborn mice to “mouse television” with lights flashing and sound for six hours a day, resulting in shorter attention spans, greater risk-taking, and poorer cognitive development.
The average age at which children began to watch television regularly has shifted from four years old in 1970 to four months old today, with the advent of baby DVDs and products aimed at young children.
The American Paediatrics Association recommends that children under the age of two should never be exposed to television, while France has made it illegal to produce programming geared towards children under the age of three.
A black church organization is calling on MSNBC to suspend and investigate host Al Sharpton over donations his organization took from Kamala Harris’s campaign.
The National Black Church Initiative, a coalition that says it represents 27.7 million people and 150,000 black churches across the country, said Wednesday that the payment to Sharpton’s group “puts a moral stain on the integrity of the black Church.” The group, which said it is “very concerned” by the “growing scandal,” urged MSNBC to “launch an investigation” and expressed support for “Rev. Sharpton’s suspension until the investigation is complete.”
The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Harris campaign made donations of $250,000 on September 5 and October 1 to Sharpton’s National Action Network, the nonprofit he founded in 1991. Sharpton aired an October 3 segment featuring Harris on his MSNBC show PoliticsNation and conducted a favorable interview with her on October 20.
Founded in 1991, the National Black Church Initiative says it represents 27.7 million churchgoers across the country, with a mission of reducing “racial, social and … economic disparities” and preserving “the authority of the black church’s voice.” The group has focused on health issues pertaining to black Americans and has criticized Sharpton before for taking donations from tobacco companies while opposing a ban on menthol cigarettes, which are popular among black smokers.
The initiative’s president, the Rev. Anthony Evans, said Sharpton is “loved and admired by many in our coalition.”
“But that does [not] take away from the fact he is facing significant moral and journalism ethics [concerns] regarding this payment or donation to the National Action Network,” Evans went on. “In addition, Rev. Sharpton is a minister of the Gospel. This payment does not look good for a man supposed to represent integrity.”
Sharpton did not disclose the donations to viewers or to MSNBC executives, according to a spokesman for the network.
The host has not addressed the scandal, and MSNBC has refused to comment on whether he was punished for failing to disclose the apparent conflict of interest. In 2010, MSNBC suspended network hosts Joe Scarborough and Keith Olbermann for donating to political campaigns, saying that the payments violated the network’s policies that require employees to disclose political activity to company executives.
The Society of Professional Journalists, a prominent journalism ethics group, has criticized MSNBC and Sharpton over the conflict of interest, calling it a “black eye” for the network and the media industry as a whole.
Daily Mail article (“Kim Jong Un sends North Korean women to fight in Ukraine”) with the altered image has now been removed.
Link now redirects to Daily Mail home page.
No apology or explanation.
They AI altered a video from 2023 of Russian twin sisters Zhenya and Sasha, made them look Korean, and ran with the BS narrative of North Korean women soldiers fighting in Ukraine.
These lies from the media are pushing us to nuclear war, and they cry about how X is fake news. Daily Mail is fake news
It’s the abuser’s Swiss army knife for the empty-headed. Multipurpose, its meaning has near-infinite elasticity. You can be labelled ‘fascist’ if you say that there are only two biological sexes, or that women should not have to undress in front of men, or that men should be excluded from women’s sports, or that men can’t get pregnant, or even if you voted for Trump.
Such is the ignorance of the 1930s and 1940s that in contemporary discourse, ‘fascist’ has lost all meaning.
Yet, in a very real sense, New Zealand is now Fascist. If this seems an extraordinary statement, consider Mussolini’s widely reported (though not documented), definition [Emphasis added]:
“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”
This definition may not be to everyone’s liking, but has the virtue of simplicity and clarity. Moreover, it is an accurate description of what is happening in America, Europe, Australia and – as I shall show – New Zealand.
There can be no clearer illustration of the corporate rule of New Zealand than the stranglehold the pharmaceutical industry has on government and media.
Jeff Zeleny, Chief National Affairs Correspondent from CNN, said the quiet part out loud on Sunday night after news broke that Joe Biden had granted Hunter Biden a blanket pardon for any criminal acts he partook in from 2014 to present including, trading influence for cash, trafficking prostitutes, and taking on the role of the Biden Family bagman.
Jeff Zeleny: We were told that this came to a head this weekend, and this is why President Biden decided now to do this. But as Isaac was just saying, that really is a sense of the conversation that has been going on really inside the family.
I’m told this has been very much a family discussion and something that has been not widely shared or discussed as a policy matter inside the West Wing.
But there was a worry of future prosecutions or future the potential of what the incoming Trump Justice Department could do.
So that, of course, is fretted in all of this as well.
But for now, this moment, this certainly is a decision that President Biden, I’m guessing, did not come too easily. But as you played that statement before, so much has changed since June when he told David Muir of ABC News that he would not do that.
Of course, his station in life has changed. Did not complete his campaign. So that is why, leading up to this, that’s why I’m told a decision was reached finally this weekend after spending time together in Nantucket.
While the war-weary US and European populations have long ago lost their fascination with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, which was on display during his September trip to Washington—largely met with little enthusiasm even among Congressional leaders—it is less common for the mainstream media to admit his star power has completely faded.
However, a fresh assessment in Britain’s The Times newspaper details the extent to which there’s been a general “disenchantment” with him both at home and abroad as he’s clearly lost his “shine”.
Amid steady Russian military gains in the east, and under pressure by Washington drop the military enlistment age from 25 to 18 (which would be hugely unpopular among Ukrainians), if a presidential vote were held tomorrow Zelensky would very likely lose.
The New York Times has fully embraced the left’s efforts to erase women from society.
On Thursday, The Times published an article chronicling the turmoil caused by Blair Flemming, a biological male on the San Jose State University Spartans women’s college volleyball team.
Multiple teams in the Mountain West Conference have forfeited games rather than place their players in harm’s way.
Flemming’s inclusion has also resulted in a lawsuit against the Mountain West, alleging that allowing Fleming to play at San Jose State violates Title IX and the players’ First and 14th Amendment rights.
The New York Times used a story about Fleming and the controversy to erase womanhood entirely and characterize actual biological women as “non-transgender women.”
