The Real Point Of The “Patriot Front” Psy-Op

Over the Fourth of July weekend, Washington DC found itself beset by the “Patriot Front”, about 400 guys in matching outfits, with white balaclavas covering their faces and waving flags about.

The (relatively small) gathering walked about a bit, did some marching, waved some flags…and scared the press to death!

They’re not real, of course.

The running joke has already become they are barely-disguised federal agents indulging in some rather lame propaganda, even as some members of rightwing defend both their realness and their aims.

Apparently they do community projects and stuff.

Regardless, they are not real. Even if they’re not literally all FBI agents – which we can’t actually rule out – they are a psy-op to some extent or another.

Just look at them. And you can just look at them, do you know why? Because they’re all over the press and social media.

Several similarly themed “lone ethnic minority surrounded by faceless Nazis” pictures all sprang up at once, which is suspicious in and of itself, but this is the one that really stuck.

Both the bots and people who don’t realise they’ve become bots are promoting it all over the place. “It should win a Pulitzer prize” they say. “This photo will define our age.“

New York Times Countersues Trump DOJ After EEOC Accuses Newspaper of Discriminating Against White Male Employee

The New York Times has filed a countersuit against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) after the agency accused the newspaper of discriminating against a white male employee in a promotion decision.

The EEOC sued the Times in May, alleging the newspaper used Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) hiring practices that favored women and minority candidates in violation of federal civil rights law.

The agency is seeking to block the company from continuing these policies and is also seeking damages on the employee’s behalf.

According to the EEOC’s complaint, veteran editor Bryant Rousseau was denied a promotion to deputy real estate editor in favor of a multiracial woman who lacked his experience covering real estate.

The agency also alleges that none of the four finalists for the position were white men.

In a countersuit filed Friday in federal court in New York, the Times accused the EEOC of targeting the newspaper in retaliation for its reporting on the agency.

“The Commission markedly deviated from its ordinary practices in almost every respect to file the flimsiest of lawsuits against The Times, a frequent target of the administration, on the heels of investigative reporting that brought to light scathing bipartisan criticism of the EEOC, its leadership, and its priorities from both inside and outside the Commission,” the complaint states.

The View Descends into Chaos After Joy Behar Admits Democrats Must Run a White Man to Win

Friday’s episode of the liberal talk show The View descended into chaos when co-host Joy Behar argued that Democrats need to run a white man in 2028 to have any chance of winning back the White House, sparking an immediate pushback from Ana Navarro.

During the heated exchange, Behar insisted she was simply focused on “winning” in what she called an “emergency” situation under President Donald Trump.

There is something hilarious about women who spent years demonizing white men suddenly treating them as saviors and their only path to victory.

Behar began by floating a list of white male candidates she believes could actually win, naming Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

She framed the suggestion as cold political reality, telling her co-hosts they needed to face facts after watching the country for decades.

Behar stated, “Maybe I’m too old at this point for this conversation. But I’ve been watching this country for a long time. And you’ve got to be in reality. These past few years that President Donald Trump has been in office, he’s practically destroying democracy. This is an emergency we’re in.”

Navarro jumped in, saying, “I hate it when I hear you say that it’s gotta be like a white man, cause I then feel that it becomes like a self-fulfilling prophecy. And I don’t want.”

New York Times Reporters Subpoenaed over Reporting of Air Force One Security Concerns

Several New York Times reporters were issued subpoenas after the news outlet reported on security concerns and a lack of security features surrounding the new Air Force One plane.

Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager, and Eric Schmitt were among the reporters who received subpoenas, the New York Times reported. The subpoenas come after the outlet reported on Wednesday regarding President Donald Trump leaving Turkey “on the old Air Force One” over security concerns.

Prior to the publication of the article, an official with the Federal Bureau of Investigation requested that the outlet hold the article, “calling it an issue of national security.” In another article on Thursday, the outlet also reported that the new Air Force One “lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft,” according to the outlet:

The Times journalists who received subpoenas included Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager, and Eric Schmitt, who reported on Wednesday that Mr. Trump had departed Turkey on the old Air Force One as a security precaution at the urging of the Secret Service. On Thursday, the Times reported that the new Air Force One, a Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8, lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft, including antimissile capabilities. Both articles cited sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security issues.

Before the Wednesday article was published, a senior official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted the Times to ask that the article be held, calling it an issue of national security, according to a person familiar with the conversation. The F.B.I. official spoke with a reporter and a senior editor in the Times‘s Washington bureau; the official declined to explain the security issue when asked. (A spokesman for the Times, Charlie Stadtlander, confirmed the account.)

The subpoenas to the journalists reportedly ask them to testify regarding “an alleged violation of federal criminal law.”

THERE IT IS: DSA Official Says Their Goal is to ‘Replace Capitalism With Socialism’

Ashik Siddique is an official with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). In the clip below, he comes right out and says that their goal is to replace capitalism with socialism.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins recently insisted it is not accurate to describe these people as communists. What would they have to say to change her mind?

These people want to transform America into a third world country. You’ll notice in this video that Ashik makes multiple references to the working class and working people, which is rich, considering that none of these DSA folks seem to have ever had a real job.

‘So Many Threats’: UK Outlines Plan to Control What Public Can See on YouTube

The U.K. is pushing a proposal that could give government officials unprecedented influence over what people see on YouTube and other digital platforms, medical commentator John Campbell, Ph.D., warned this week.

“My concern is that the state is going to mandate what videos are promoted on YouTube,” Campbell said. “That’s basically what this seems to be about.”

In a recent podcast, Campbell examined the U.K. government’s new media green paper, “Watch this space: a new strategic direction for UK media,” and what it could mean for online speech.

He said the proposal could fundamentally change how people discover videos. Instead of seeing content based primarily on their interests or what other viewers are watching, government-backed sources could receive preferential placement.

“It wouldn’t be popularity that determines what videos become top of the YouTube feed, therefore most likely to be watched,” Campbell said. “It’s going to be the ones that the state mandates as appropriate for you because you can’t judge for yourself. … At least that’s the threat from this paper.”

The green paper, published in June by the U.K. Department for Culture, Media & Sport, proposes exploring a “prominence regime” that would ensure public service broadcasters and other designated “trusted” news providers remain easy to find as audiences increasingly consume news online rather than through traditional television.

Campbell suggested the proposals go far beyond the U.K. media industry. “This is going to affect everyone,” he said.

‘If this doesn’t send a bit of a shudder down your spine … it certainly should’

Liberal Journos Already Trying to Play the Joe Biden Card on Graham Platner – We Were Lied To!

Far left journalist Molly Jong-Fast appeared on MSNOW last night and tried to claim that the Platner campaign and his supporters lied to her and other people in the press about his scandals.

This is the exact same thing they tried to do after Joe Biden was forced out of the 2024 election. They played victims and claimed that they were lied to and that they knew nothing.

Do they really think this is going to work? No one with a brain is going to believe this.

Townhall reports:

After President Joe Biden was unceremoniously dumped from the 2024 presidential campaign, a lot of Democrats and their allies in the media started playing dumb, claiming they had no idea just how bad Joe Biden’s cognitive condition actually was…

Now they’re doing the same thing with Graham Platner, with Molly Jong-Fast going on MS NOW to say the media was ‘sold a character arc’ by the Platner camp.

“A lot of us, I interviewed him for my podcast, I talked to his team, when the first New York Times article came out I said, ‘This reads sort of funny, what else is there? What else is coming out?’ and everyone told me up and down, absolutely not. And I think all of heard that same thing from him, from his team: nothing else coming out, this is clearly a misunderstanding, there is nothing more coming out,” Jong-Fast said.

“We were sold an arc, right? A character arc, of a person who had blacked out but no longer did that behavior,” she continued, “now, I should have asked him when I interviewed him if he was drinking still. Because there’s only one way you get those blackouts and that’s from drinking. And the idea we were sold this character arc, this person who gets better, who got better, but he wasn’t maybe better.”

Connecticut Health Department Releases Vaccine Propaganda Videos

Welcome to vaccine dystopia, Connecticut edition.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health has launched its “Protect Who Matters Most” campaign with four cutesy, Schoolhouse Rock-style videos designed to promote vaccination. The department claims the initiative provides “trusted, accessible, and engaging educational resources” to help families make informed decisions. In reality, it delivers slick propaganda wrapped in songs and cartoons.

The first video features a soft-voiced woman singing about the terrors of “life before vaccines,” when “the right medicine had not yet come.” She paints a frightening picture of diseases that “could stay with you” until the miraculous arrival of vaccines. The message is clear: vaccines are the safest, sweetest, and most wonderful invention ever created to “protect who matters most.”

Unless, of course, your child suffers a serious adverse reaction and dies.

But the video doesn’t tell you that.

Video 2, a hip-hop number, equates vaccinating your children with truly caring about them.

The not-so-subtle implication here is that anyone questioning vaccines — whether over known toxins, aborted fetal cells, or sheer volume (more than 70 shots on the schedule) — must not love their kids enough.

It raises the common concern of “too many shots too soon” but immediately glosses over it with a catchy chorus.

Side effects are minimized to a little fever, sleepiness, or a Band-Aid, completely ignoring the possibility of severe or life-altering reactions.

The Vaccine Safety and Approval video uses a cheerful cartoon treasure map to guide viewers from “early research stones” all the way to the sacred “tested temple” of vaccine approval.

It’s pure feel-good propaganda that skips any honest discussion of risks, limitations, or the real-world performance of certain vaccines.

CNN Hack Falls for Satirical Tweet from Fictitious Republican Lawmaker While Reading List of Comments Regarding Mitch McConnell’s Health

A CNN anchor made an embarrassing blunder this week while reading off what she thought was a quote from a GOP lawmaker regarding Senator Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY).

As The Gateway Pundit reported, McConnell was reportedly found unconscious in his DC home last month before he was rushed to the hospital.

While the 84-year-old Kentucky Senator is supposedly “receiving excellent care,” it is still unclear why McConnell was admitted to the hospital. However, he may have had a heart attack, according to newly released audio of a 911 call.

During Wednesday’s edition of “CNN This Morning,” anchor Audie Cornish shared a series of statements from Republicans who said they had recently spoken with McConnell.

“We have a lot of Senate Republicans coming out, we’re just going to show some on-screen,” Cornish said. “All saying, I talked to him, I talked to him, I talked to him for 20 minutes, I talked to him for 45 minutes.”

Among the comments Cornish read off were from CNN contributor Scott Jennings and statements attributed to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY).

She also showed a post from the X account @RepJackKimble, thinking that he was a real person as well.
