Why Is the Media Ignoring the Stunning New Trump-Epstein Allegations?

The president of the United States of America has been accused of rape. Again. The president of the United States has been accused of rape in a report issued by the Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee, as part of their ongoing investigation of Donald Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The president has been accused of raping two women, one when she was as young as 13, and sexually assaulting three more. They are among 11 women who provided evidence or testimony that Trump “abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women alongside, and in coordination with, the most infamous sex trafficker in history.”

I have been made to understand that many people do not know about the Judiciary Comittee report—and the fact that five women have accused Trump of sexual assault while in or near the presence of noted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. I have been made to understand that this is because the mainstream media finds former president Barack Obama’s comments about the [checks notes] Cheesecake Factory more worthy of their attention than the current president’s abuse of multiple women.

If asked, mainstream media types would no doubt argue that the lack of coverage of these latest rape allegations stems from the fact that previous rape allegations failed to “move the needle.” Trump’s sexual misconduct (both alleged and litigated) is “baked in” to people’s understanding of the man. People either won’t believe the charges or won’t care—or else they do believe the women and do care and vote accordingly—but everybody knows what he’s been accused of, generally speaking at least.

I find this line of argument unadulterated bollocks that reveals the deep failure of our mainstream media. It is news when the president is credibly accused of rape. It is important news. While I, too, don’t think these latest sexual assault accusations will materially change the national conversation about Trump or his presidency, that is not an excuse for ignoring, downplaying, or skipping over brutal allegations that he repeatedly assaulted women, including minors.

PSYOP: Washington Post Claims Trump Voters See Abdul El-Sayed as an ‘America First’ Candidate

Just yesterday, the Gateway Pundit highlighted a clip of writer Walter Kirn saying that everything that happens before the election is a psyop.

And here is a perfect example of what he was talking about.

The Washington Post is claiming that Trump voters see Abdul El-Sayed as an ‘America first’ candidate.

Does anyone believe this? It doesn’t even make sense. All the guy ever talks about is the Middle East.

From the story:

In Dearborn, the first Arab American-majority city, many Trump 2024 voters describe El-Sayed as an “America First” candidate due to his opposition to unconditional military aid to Israel and focus on the domestic economy.

El-Sayed himself recently embraced the America First label in a campaign ad on the conservative Fox News and Newsmax networks.

“Mike Rogers will put Israel first,” said Michigan voter Mustapha El-Jaroudi, 27.

Having voted for Trump twice, El-Jaroudi now calls the president “a con artist” who betrayed his campaign refrain of “no new wars.”

So the Washington Post found this person and built a story around him.

Hasan Piker Files $72.5 Million Lawsuit Against CNN’s Scott Jennings for Allegedly Portraying Him as Calling for Lynching Black Americans

Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker filed a $72.5 million defamation lawsuit against CNN commentator Scott Jennings in federal court on Tuesday, accusing the pundit of airing a manipulated video and falsely portraying him as advocating the lynching of Black Americans.

The 38-page complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, centers on an August 11 episode of Salem Media’s The Scott Jennings Show and social media posts with clips.

Jennings played an edited clip of Piker and told listeners that the streamer was “out there calling for Black voters to be lynched” and referenced “the Piker plan of returning our country to lynchings.”

In another post, he wrote that Abdul El-Sayed’s “best pal and campaign partner says the USA should resume lynchings against black people.”

Piker is seeking at least $27.5 million in compensatory damages, $45 million in punitive damages, and a jury trial.

The footage comes from a 2024 livestream, during which Piker reacted to a debate between two Black political commentators on criminal justice policy.

According to the complaint, Piker was sarcastically mocking a conservative participant who had criticized progressive prosecutors and “woke DAs.”

Laughing, Piker said something to the effect of “He said, ‘We need more Klansmen, okay? Can we go back to a better time when lynchings were happening? This is what I like as a Black man. Also, there’s no real racism in America.’”

The lawsuit alleges that the version Jennings aired was a roughly 42-second compilation drawn from multiple streams, cropped and rearranged to omit the words “He said” and the surrounding sarcasm that made clear Piker was attributing the remarks to someone else rather than endorsing them.

Jennings then added a caption presenting the line as a direct quote from Piker: “LET’S GO BACK TO A BETTER TIME WHEN LYNCHINGS WERE HAPPENING.”

The complaint states that Jennings “did not merely mischaracterize something Mr. Piker said. He took a false, fabricated, and manipulated video of Mr. Piker, added a made-up quotation that Mr. Piker never uttered, and then made accusations that went beyond even what the manipulated footage purported to show.”

Piker’s attorneys argue that the statements were presented as factual assertions about what he said rather than rhetorical commentary, and that Jennings ignored a prior request for a retraction.

The suit alleges defamation per se, defamation by implication, and false light, arguing that the accusations damaged Piker’s reputation, threatened his streaming income and sponsorships, and caused emotional distress.

As of Tuesday evening, Jennings had not publicly responded to the lawsuit. He had also not deleted the posts.

CBS News Invites Dem Who Kicked Trump Off The Ballot To Spread ‘Election Denier’ Garbage

Bari Weiss’s CBS News had Jena Griswold on to lecture Americans about threats to their elections in an interview on Sunday. The Colorado secretary of state tried to kick President Donald Trump off the Colorado ballot in the 2024 election, oversaw the leak of hundreds of election system passwords, and sent tens of thousands of postcards encouraging voter registration to noncitizens.

Griswold joined 60 Minutes seemingly just to denounce former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters. Peters was sentenced to a nine-year prison term after Griswold worked with state Attorney General Phil Weiser to prosecute Peters for effectively questioning the 2020 election results and preserving election data.

As Mike Davis reported in these pages, opponents of Peters “falsely alleged she illegally colluded with Lindell’s associate, Conan Hayes, to steal and misuse the ID badge of a Mesa County employee named Gerald Wood to access the county’s election system and to save a copy of the hard drive before a new system was installed.”

Notably, a jury acquitted Peters of identity theft and actually accepted her account that Wood consented to the use of his credentials, as Davis reported. An appeals court also found that the sentencing judge’s “comments about Peters’ beliefs were improper,” as described by Courthouse News, and vacated the sentence. (Before she could be resentenced, Gov. Jared Polis issued a commutation letter and shorted her sentence so that she would be released on parole. Jared cited the appeals court’s reasoning.)

In an interview with CBS News’ Bill Whitaker, Griswold said Peters “was elected by her county to uphold the elections. Instead — she attacked the elections from within.”

“Tina Peters ordered that her video surveillance cameras be turned off and then took images of the voting equipment and shared it with a network of election deniers,” Griswold said.

Peters has maintained that she sought to preserve election records before a state-mandated voting-system update. As Davis wrote in these pages, “Colorado law permitted Peters to access and archive the hard drive, but she went about things the wrong way.” As Davis also noted, Peters changed no ballots or results.

“What was harmed by her actions?” Whitaker followed up.

“Voting equipment, confidence in Colorado elections and American elections, and election workers,” Griswold argued.

But Whitaker failed to ask how any of those things were actually harmed. Further, Whitaker failed to ask whether there is a legal basis for a clerk saving data (there is, as Davis wrote in these pages, but Peters may not have done so properly). He also declined to question Griswold about her own election security failures.

Griswold’s own office posted passwords to statewide voting systems online. The secretary’s office put an Excel file online with a “hidden” page of 600 passwords to voting systems for nearly every single county in the state, as reported in these pages. The leak came while Colorado voting was already underway, seemingly posing a clear danger to the integrity of Colorado’s elections, though Griswold insisted there was no “immediate security threat.”

But Griswold is not in jail, nor has she been charged in relation to that security breach.

Griswold also sent out 31,000 postcards to foreign nationals on how to register to vote for the 2022 midterms. Her office used data from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). ERIC pulls data from agencies such as the department of motor vehicles, and in Colorado foreign nationals can obtain driver’s licenses. Griswold then refused to cooperate with county officials to see whether any of the ineligible residents illegally voted in the 2022 midterms.

Griswold’s record goes beyond administrative failures. The official CBS News invited to lecture Americans about election confidence also supported using lawfare to deny voters the chance to vote for Trump.

Left-wing activist group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) backed a challenge by Colorado voters to disqualify Trump under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was written to bar previous Confederate insurrectionists from holding office. Six Colorado voters asked the court to order Griswold to keep Trump’s name off the ballot. The left-leaning Colorado Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that Trump was ineligible to appear on the ballot. Griswold then filed a brief with the Supreme Court arguing states can keep Trump off the ballot and said that Trump should not get a “get out of jail free” card.

The Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision vetoing Griswold’s lawfare efforts, ruling states do not have the constitutional authority to kick Trump off the ballot.

Griswold said she was “disappointed” when the high court rebuked her attempt to kick a candidate off the ballot and said it was “concerning that federal candidates, at this point, can engage in insurrection and then face no accountability for ballot access.”

CBS could have asked Griswold how her own warnings about election confidence cohere with her support of an unconstitutional attempt to kick Trump off the ballot or how Griswold’s own failures to keep elections safe damage the trust she accused Peters of damaging. Instead, the 60 Minutes interview gave Griswold a free pass to smear Peters while evading scrutiny of her own failures.

Stunning Sharyl Attkisson Report: Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, FOX, NY Post Being Shut Out on Yahoo, MSN and other Major Online News Platforms

Award winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson is host of “Full Measure,” which focuses on investigative and accountability reporting. Her show is shown on channels around the country on Sunday morning.

Sharyl is one of the few courageous and honest reporters in American who is willing to give you ALL of the news and just not liberal commentary that floods our airwaves day in and day out.

On Sunday, Sharyl Attkisson ran a segment on Full Measure on how conservative news is being blocked by online platforms like Yahoo and MSN.

This study shows how Breitbart, The Gateway Pundit, FOX News, New York Post, are completely shut out on their news pages.

This is likely criminal behavior.

We all know if they started publishing our reports along with other conservative outlets the fake news would be exposed. So they won’t.

On Sunday Sharyl spoke with David Bozell, the President of the Media Research Center to discuss the results of his platform’s recent study on media bias.

Here is a partial transcript:

David Bozell: I can’t remember the last story that Newsweek ever broke, and there it sits as a top 20 news website in America based solely and almost exclusively on the fact that in the last 6 months that we’ve been doing this, they have been linked to by MSN 524 times.

But more frustrating than the liberal media ecosystem just getting this uplift, there is a total blockade of this emerging conservative media ecosystem. New York Post, goose egg. Breitbart, goose egg. Gateway Pundit, goose egg. The conservative ecosystem is being shut out. The liberal ecosystem is being broadcast to hundreds of millions of people a month. Using the point of entry. Apple News is preloaded on your iPhone, on everyone’s iPhone. Google News is preloaded on your Android. MSN is preloaded on every desktop.

Sharyl Attkisson: According to the research, out of 487 top stories last February on Google News, only 11, or 2.2%, were right-leaning. 314, or 64.5%, were left-leaning. As for Apple News last January, of 620 top stories, there were zero right-leaning stories and 440 left-leaning. Articles on popular websites like Fox News and the New York Post were never promoted. A broader Big Four analysis showed the apps promoted 92% left-leaning outlets and only 17% of right-leaning ones. Have you been able to reach anybody at Apple Google, MSN to ask them questions about how they’re distributing the news?

David Bozell: I sent a letter to Tim Cook at Apple before he— he’s just recently stepped down, but offering to help. It was private correspondence, so I’ll keep it there. But I did. I did. The research is sound. The research has not been disputed. So, but, but that’s been the—

Sharyl Attkisson: Did you get any kind of positive response?

David Bozell: No, no response. Unfortunately.

Sharyl Attkisson: Do you sense this, what you’re describing, is an organized and propagandized effort, or just the way people feel and they’ve been given free rein to express opinions in the news?

David Bozell: I think it’s organized in the sense that it’s universal. Maybe not so much organized, it’s universal. Go get Trump. He cannot succeed. Conservatism The shrinking of government cannot succeed. Making America wealthy again cannot succeed. Protecting the American taxpayer cannot succeed. Exposing fraud cannot succeed. How organized is it? I like to think that the conservative movement has more, better, more fun conspiracy meetings than the liberals do, but certainly there’s gazillions of dollars being funded.

Polling Industry’s Collapse Continues: Total Number of Fake Polls Exposed Reaches 15

As Democrats push to gain control of Congress, polls that may have shown them leading various battleground races have been exposed as part of a widespread fraud.

A group called Wedgewood Polling admitted that the numbers it tossed around in Georgia, Michigan, Texas, and other states were fake, according to USA Today, which was among the outlets that said they were fooled.

“The Wedgewood results in some cases were slightly more favorable for Democrats than other polls in the same race,” USA Today noted, citing one poll that had incumbent Georgia Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff ahead of his Republican rival, Rep. Mike Collins, by 10 percentage points.

Time noted that Newsweek, MS NOW, and Politico also embraced the fake polling. The New York Times admitted to using 15 of Wedgewood’s polls.

The outlet noted that the political polling site FiftyPlusOne exposed the fakery, and that when confronted, Wedgewood said the polling was an “experimental project.”

“How easy is it for an entirely fabricated polling firm to gain traction, be taken seriously, and expose how little scrutinization exists in media and in public commentary?” the firm wrote in a since-deleted post.

“The short answer: Far too easy,” it wrote.

Deported migrant who ’60 Minutes’ painted as sympathetic family man claimed he was gay on asylum application

Sunday’s “60 Minutes” featured the story of a deported Malian national who was painted as a loving husband and father despite insisting he was homosexual on his asylum application.

The CBS News segment focused on Moussa Diawara and his family, speaking to his wife, 16-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter. But the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says Diawara, who arrived in the United States in 2001, is actually an example of widespread fraud throughout the immigration system.

“The ‘60 Minutes’ sob story tonight highlighted an illegal alien and his wife and two children. One problem. The illegal alien claimed he was a HOMOSEXUAL in order to try and dodge deportation to Mali,” ICE posted on X.

Fox News exclusively obtained Diawara’s 2009 asylum application in which he declared that he needed to remain in America because he was a gay man who could be killed if sent back to his native country.

“My asylum application is based upon ground of well founded past persecution and an undisputable fear of life threatening to my person if I were to return to my country Mali. In fact I had experienced extreme punishment and persecution based on the ground of my sexual orientation,” Diawara wrote in his asylum application.

“Since I came to the USA I had the possibilities to express my feelings to men without any embarrassment no reserve. Indeed, my tribal group and community as a whole had reported my sexual orientation to my family back home because such behavior is unwelcome in my society,” he continued. “My life is hence worth threatened if I have to go back to my country because I could be executed either by the Islamic group or the community.”

Diawara also wrote in the application that he was “banished” from attending Malian activities because he’s “a homosexual,” who has received threats.

“These are the reasons why I applied for asylum in the USA to seek protection from the US government,” Diawara wrote.

Jim Geraghty finds Ilhan Omar age discrepancy in her autobiography

National Review reporter Jim Geraghty has uncovered an age discrepancy based on what Ilhan Omar has said about her age and what she’s written in her book.

Here’s what he said:

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar writes in her memoir, “I was eight years old when civil war broke out in Somalia. One day everything was okay, and the next, there were bullets piercing not only buildings but also people.” While Somalia has suffered several civil wars, the chapter is entitled, “War: 1989-1991, Mogadishu, Somalia.” Mogadishu experienced severe riots in July 1989, including a mass execution that became known as the “Jazeera beach massacre.”

If, in her own words in her own autobiography, Omar was eight when this occurred in 1989, then she was born in 1981, and was 19 years old in the year 2000, when her father purportedly obtained his citizenship, not 1982 as she currently claims.

Red Steeze makes the obvious but important observation:

And there is not a single journalist anywhere interested in looking into these discrepancies. Her entire biography has just been “Trust me.” and that’s been good enough for all of them.

FAKE NEWS BUSTED: CBS’s Sob Story on Deportation of African Illegal Alien Gets Blown to Smithereens as DHS Catches Outlet in This HUGE Lie

Despite undergoing new management, CBS got caught once again spreading another massive lie on its signature Sunday evening program this week.

On Sunday, “60 Minutes” aired a story about a 57-year-old illegal alien named Moussa Diawara, who was deported from the United States back in July.

Diawara, originally from Mali, had lived in the Houston area for more than 25 years and worked as an Uber driver. During his time in America, Diawara also married a U.S. citizen and raised two children.

6o Minutes reported that ICE detained Diawara on July 11 and put him on a charter flight to Ghana at the end of the month. Ghanaian authorities then sent him back to Mali.

Diawara claims he was deported without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge.

Naturally, “60 Minutes” portrayed Diawara as a victim of what they considered a ‘cruel and inhumane’ deportation policy. The outlet further tries to evoke sympathy for Diawara by softly interviewing members of his family.

The 60 Minutes report stated that Diawara entered America on a tourist visa, overstayed, and then received a 2012 immigration judge’s ruling that said he could not be sent to Mali on the grounds that he would face persecution there.

“60 Minutes” claimed that Diawara’s persecution concerns revolved around his conversion to Christianity. Mali is a Muslim-majority nation.

But as is the case with so many immigration stories via the corporate media, a key piece was missing.

DHS General Counsel James Percival revealed that Diawara claimed the reason why he was scared to go back home to Mali was that he was gay, not due to a conversion to Christianity.

“This illegal alien is @60Minutes poster child for what it claims are wrongful deportations,” Percival wrote on X. “I pulled his file. His claimed reason for fearing Mali was that he is ‘gay,’ just in case you’re wondering how bad the immigration fraud problem is.”

Everybody’s Hitler! Ad Absurdum…

Piers Morgan recently said on his program of Russian President Vladimir Putin, “I do think he’s the nearest thing to a modern day Hitler…” Libertarian Institute Director Scott Horton had something to say about that. “You know what?” Horton said. “Noriega’s Hitler and Saddam’s Hitler and Milosevic’s Hitler and Putin’s Hitler. It sounds to me like Adolf was just another Hitler.”

“And apparently, any country that America doesn’t like, we can just start an aggressive war against them because they’re all the same as that one guy that one time,” he exclaimed.

Horton is right: There is a broad consensus that the supremely evil, mid-twentieth century German National Socialist dictator, responsible for the Holocaust and other horrors, deserved death and defeat for his crimes. Which is why so many war advocates ever since have tried to cast whoever they want to go to war against as being on par with Hitler. But just like Satan, there can only be one—unless you crave war.

I could not possibly list every would-be Hitler that American leaders have wanted to take out. Scott listed off a few examples of enemies, real and imagined, going back to Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega of the Reagan-era ‘80s and Slobadan Milosevic in the Bill Clinton ‘90s, and then Iraq’s Saddam Hussein in this century.

In the post 9/11 era alone, the late Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned that if Muammar Gaddafi wasn’t taken out in 2011, the Libyan dictator would strike European cities.

Like Hitler, of course.

“He actually means it,” Graham said of Gaddafi fifteen years ago. “Hitler meant it. He means it.” Graham would also later compare Syria’s head Bashar al Assad to Hitler. Graham also assured us over a decade ago that the Iranian regime were Nazis, and of course that Putin was also Hitler.
