Jen Psaki and Katie Couric Complain That Media Covering the Trump White House is Too Right Wing 

Katie Couric and former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki recently complained to each other that the media covering the Trump White House is too right wing. They seem to think that partisan actors in the press are going too easy on the Trump administration.

These people really do live in an alternate reality.

Jen Psaki served in a White House with a mental invalid and never fielded a tough question from the press. Psaki was still serving at the White House as a spokeswoman while she was negotiating a deal for a job at MSNBC and was never even asked about it.

Transcript by NewsBusters:

JEN PSAKI: And what they’ve done is they have really, and I read the press briefing a lot because we do a little thing on our show about it sometimes, more and more of the questions in there are by sycophants, or by people who are not asking about news that the American people cares about, but they’re asking about, I mean, literally a question has started more than once, why is Trump in such good shape, right?

Or they are, you know, putting out conspiracy theories. There are people who, and they are getting a lot of the questions. There are some of the people who are in the press pools. This means that reporters who are there to cover MBS being at the White House or to cover Zelensky being at the White House or to ask these questions that Mary Bruce fortunately asked yesterday, there are fewer of them. And that is, you don’t know that and see that unless you’ve lived there, but that’s a huge, huge problem because it’s becoming more of a Kremlin-esque press corps.

KATIE COURIC: Right. And they’ve invited a lot of reporters from very right-wing media outlets—

PSAKI: Yeah.

COURIC: —and you’re right, they usually say, I forget there was one example, like, “Did you ever believe that you would be the peacemaker?” I mean, just, so, and is it, I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend.

Anchor Grills Dem Rep: “What Specific Order From Trump Are You Asking Our Military To Object To?”

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum tore into Colorado Democrat Rep. Jason Crow during a tense interview, pressing him repeatedly on the specifics behind a viral video where congressional Democrats urged military members to defy “illegal orders” from the Trump administration.

Crow repeatedly dodged, with vague allusions to random “Trump bad” rhetoric, and offering no concrete examples of actual unlawful directives.

The exchange highlighted what critics, including senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller, have blasted as Democrats’ desperate call for insurrection, rooted in nothing more than baseless fear-mongering as they cling to power.

In the video, a group of Democrats with military or intelligence backgrounds—including Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA)—solemnly intoned messages like: “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders,” and “No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”

Democratic Congresswoman Doubles Down on Video of Liberal Lawmakers Telling Troops to Question Orders

Not long ago, every sensible and patriotic American would have found present-day Democrats’ tactics unthinkable.

In fact, presidents could (and did) take swift action against the perpetrators.

Friday on CNN, Democratic Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania doubled down on a shocking and potentially seditious video she and five other Democrats posted on Tuesday.

In that video, the six Democrats called on intelligence professionals and military service members to disobey illegal orders.

Of course, they cited no examples of such orders from President Donald Trump or Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. They simply renewed leftists’ oft-repeated smear of Trump as a threat to the Constitution. Never mind that the sovereign people elected him in a landslide.

Thursday on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump labeled the video “seditious” and called for the Democrats’ arrest.

On Friday, Houlahan responded by recounting what her father, who once served in the military, had told her.

“If you receive an order that you are not sure of,” the congresswoman said of her father’s advice, “you have a duty to question your commander, the person next in your chain of command. If that person says, ‘Nope, this is what the order is,’ and you still have an issue, you do have a duty to go up your chain of command to ask those questions. And you have an ability to go to the JAG [Judge Advocate General] and talk to them about that as well.”

Then, she took an obligatory swipe at Trump.

“Listen,” she continued, “I think that this is an amazing turn of events. Again, when we’re talking about the fact that we’re being threatened with death for asking people to follow the law, it is a case in point of why we were concerned to begin with.”

CNN Hack Jake Tapper Pushes Deranged Hoax That Trump Wants To EXECUTE Democrats

CNN’s resident Trump-hater Jake Tapper has sunk to new lows, peddling the absurd claim that President Trump wants to execute Democratic members of Congress—prompting Reuters to issue a laughable “clarification” that, no, Trump does not actually plan to kill his political opponents.

The whole manufactured outrage stems from a ‘seditious’ video released by a cabal of congressional Democrats—all with military or intelligence backgrounds—who vaguely urged active-duty service members and intel pros to defy “illegal orders” from the Trump administration, without citing a single actual unlawful directive. 

The clip, spearheaded by Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin and featuring Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Colorado Rep. Jason Crow, Pennsylvania Rep. Chris Deluzio, and Pennsylvania Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, accuses Trump of “pitting” the military “against American citizens” and violating the Constitution, while solemnly intoning: “You can refuse illegal orders… You must refuse illegal orders.”

Ex-GOP aide paid fetish artist to mutilate her, claimed it was an anti-Trump attack: court docs

A former New Jersey GOP aide allegedly paid a fetish artist to carve dozens of cuts in her skin and had a pal scrawl “Trump Whore” on her stomach in order to claim that she was the victim of a politically motivated violent attack, according to shocking new court documents.

Natalie Greene, 26, was arrested Wednesday and charged with concocting the violent bogus ambush at Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve on July 23, the US Attorney’s Office for New Jersey announced.

Prosecutors said the accused fraudster claimed three gun-wielding men approached her and a friend on the trail around 10:30 p.m. before threatening to shoot her and hitting her in the head.

The suspect said the fictitious attackers then hogtied her with black zip ties, held her down while slashing her face and body, and etched anti-Trump slurs onto her stomach and back because she worked for a Republican, the complaint said.

Greene, a Maserati-driving Rutgers law student, worked for US Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), New Jersey Globe reported.

Local residents in Greene’s hometown were horrified when they heard about the story.

At the end of the day we’re talking about a 25-year-old girl, a beautiful girl, whose politics aren’t supposed to reach that level of extreme,” Fiona Tierney, 49, told The Post.

“Now she’s got to spend the rest of her life with these scars to remind her of what she did. What, she’s going to the beach wearing a bathing suit with all that on display? She’d never live this down. What kind of a future is that?”

Greene’s lawyer, Louis M. Barone, said his client is innocent until proven guilty — and that she was serving her community working for Van Drew’s office while also going to school time at the time of the alleged hoax attack.

Democratic lawmakers get ‘24-7′ security after Trump accused them of ‘seditious behavior’ over ‘illegal orders’ video

A Democratic senator who joined five of her colleagues to urge members of the military to disobey “illegal orders” from the Trump administration said Thursday the sextet was under round-the-clock protection after the president called them “traitors” and said their words could be “punishable by DEATH.”

“Capitol Police came to us and said, ‘We’re gonna put you on 24/7 security,’” Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), told MS NOW’s “All In with Chris Hayes.”

“We’ve got law enforcement out in front of my house. I mean, it changes things immediately,” Slotkin added. “And leadership climate is set from the top. And if the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse.”

Slotkin was joined by Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado in the 60-second video, released Tuesday, which warned service members: “Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders … you must refuse illegal orders.”

President Trump responded Thursday in a series of Truth Social posts, writing: “Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET.”

GOP staffer found with Trump sex slur written on stomach and hands zip tied… before she’s accused of elaborate hoax

A GOP Congressman staffer was discovered crying and bound by zip ties inside a New Jersey nature reserve with the words ‘Trump wh—‘ written on her stomach and cuts across her face, neck, chest and shoulders. 

A frantic 911 call came in on the night of July 23 reporting that three men had attacked Natalie Greene, one allegedly brandishing a firearm and threatening to shoot her while mentioning her boss’s name. 

She said the attack took place after she received threats while working at the congressional office for New Jersey Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew.

But after the FBI questioned her, Greene’s elaborate story began to unravel, resulting in the young staffer being charged with making false statements after she was accused of faking the attack on herself. 

She had been found in tears with distinct-looking laceration marks all over her body, bound by her hands, feet and even around her neck with black zip ties. 

Greene told an FBI agent that two men grabbed her, pulled up her shirt and restrained her on the ground before tying her up. 

She claimed that one of the men struck her on the head before cutting into her body and ‘scraping’ her, with the pain so intense she began to scream.

The staffer added that one of her ‘attackers’ claimed he had a gun and threatened to shoot her if she moved, though Greene said she never saw the weapon and only felt something push against her stomach. 

That same night, however, police found extra, similar-looking black zip ties in Greene’s Maserati. 

Federal investigators later discovered that Green’s co-conspirator had googled ‘zip ties near me’ on a cell phone days prior. 

After seizing Greene’s cell phone, investigators then found a Reddit profile that followed pages that include ‘bodymods’ and ‘scarification.’

Elsewhere on her phone was a location map that took her from a Pennsylvania tattoo parlor/body modification artist and eventually to the nature preserve where she was found by police.

She also went to her co-conspirators home in Ventnor, a Dunkin Donuts in Atlantic City.

In the same town where Greene’s ally lived, they found a Dollar General Store that sold the same exact zip ties that had been used on her and found in her car.   

The markings, including the one calling her a slur and another saying ‘Van Drew racist,’ were found to be performed by the artist, who said Greene paid $500 in cash.

Greene, who had spent years as a constituent advocate director for Van Drew, took photos of the exact scars she wanted the artist to execute, complete with patterns for scars and cuts all over her face, neck, upper chest and shoulder.

Outrageous! Six Congressional Democrats Call for ‘Soft Coup,’ Demand Members of the Military Commit Treason and DEFY Orders from President Trump

Congressional Democrats are now encouraging members of the military and intelligence community to sabotage Trump from within.

Senators Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona, along with Representatives Chris DeLuzio of Pennsylvania, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Jason Crow of Colorado, posted a video on Tuesday essentially ordering these professionals to betray Trump and implement a ‘soft coup,’ rendering him powerless to carry out his policies.

At the same time they pull this stunt, they hide behind their past service to masquerade as concerned patriots, rather than partisan hacks. What a disgrace.

The video opens with Slotkin, Kelly, Deulzio, Goodlander, Houlihan, and Crow all introducing themselves and their background in the military and intel community.

The members of Congress then turn their attention to those currently serving America and the Trump Administration, warning them that, while Americans ‘trust’ in their military, that trust is at risk.

They say the Trump Administration is pitting the military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens and that those in these communities swore an oath to defend the Constitution.

The prescription the members offer is nothing short of insurrection: refuse so-called ‘illegal’ orders from President Trump.

“You can refuse illegal orders,” they say.

“No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution,” they add. “Your vigilance is critical, and know that we have your back.”

“Don’t give up the ship.”

The Imperial Judiciary Strikes Back

So far, more than 100 federal court judges have ruled against the Trump administration in hundreds of lawsuits filed by states, unions, nonprofit organizations and individuals.

While some of these rulings are fairly grounded in the Constitution, federal law, and precedent, many are expressions of primal rage from judges offended by the administration, and moving at breakneck speed to stop it. According to a Politico analysis, 87 of 114 federal judges who ruled against the administration were appointed by Democrat presidents, and 27 by Republicans. Most of the lawsuits were filed in just a few districts, with repeat activist judges leading the opposition.

Lawsuits against the administration may be filed in the District of Columbia and, often, also in other districts. Initially, cases are randomly assigned. Plaintiffs focus on districts with predominately activist, progressive judges. Because related cases are usually assigned to the same judge, later plaintiffs file in districts in which related cases were assigned to friendly activists.

Conservative judges generally believe they should interpret the law and avoid ruling on political questions, while many liberals see themselves as protectors of their values. After 60 years of domination by activist liberals, the Supreme Court and conservatives on appeals courts are finally demanding that district court judges respect the Constitution. The Supreme Court is also re-evaluating precedents established by far-left justices who substituted their values for the words and intentions embodied in the Constitution.

To date, the Supreme Court has reversed or stayed about 30 lower court injunctions blocking the administration, and appeals courts have reversed or stayed another dozen. Even Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson imposed an administrative stay on a district court decision requiring the immediate resumption of SNAP (food stamp) payments.

Federal judges who oppose Trump’s agenda are openly opposing the Supreme Court. In April, D.C. Chief Federal Judge James Boasberg sought to hold administration officials in criminal contempt for violating an order the court had vacated. In May, Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge James Ho criticized the court’s demand that district courts act promptly on administration requests. In a September ruling, Boston Federal Judge Allison Burroughs challenged the court for expecting lower courts to treat its emergency orders as binding legal precedent.

Ten of 12 federal judges interviewed by NBC News in September, and 47 of 65 federal judges responding to a New York Times survey in October, thought the court was mishandling its emergency docket. They described orders as “incredibly demoralizing and troubling” and “a slap in the face to the district courts.”

Deservedly so. Though the Supreme Court and appeals courts judges have rebuked district court judges for ignoring higher courts and abusing their authority, they continue to do so with rulings focused on identity politics, and a progressive lens on the woes of immigrants, minorities, women, and workers. They likely expect to be reversed on appeal, but they secure wins by causing delay and creating fodder for progressive activists to rally their supporters.

There is little that can be done about these judges. Removal requires a majority vote in the House and a two-thirds vote in the Senate. With Democrats supporting these judges, that is unrealistic.

Charlotte NAACP President Recycles Long-Debunked Smear of President Trump, Legacy Media Silent 

Rev. Corine Mack serves as President of the Charlotte NAACP chapter. During recent remarks to the press, Mack recycled a long-debunked smear of President Donald Trump, and, unsurprisingly, the legacy media have not held her accountable for the blatant lie.

Speaking to reporters, Mack stated, “We have a little man sitting in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who really believes that Hitler was the greatest man ever on Earth, whose whole vision is to be just like Hitler and is trying to create a 1940s Germany right here in the United States.”

“Like then, many people said, Well, it’s them, it’s not me.”

Mack’s smear is parroting a years-old debunked narrative from The Atlantic, a far-left publication.

The smear in question, cooked up by none other than The Atlantic‘s Jeffrey Goldberg—an author infamous for pushing falsehoods like those that led us into the Iraq war—alleges that Trump disrespected Army Specialist Vanessa Guillén, who was tragically murdered at Fort Hood in 2020. But the real kicker was the wild claim that Trump once praised Hitler.

The genesis of the disgusting smear is said to be Trump’s former Chief of Staff, John Kelly,  the same person who Democrats used to push the suckers and losers hoax.

The claims, which are merely vague secondhand recollections from Trump haters, are so flimsy that even far-left Snopes listed the claims as “unproven.”

But not only does the media not cover the left’s lies, they also push back and deny that the behavior is even taking place.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace tried to gaslight her viewers and claimed no Democrats have compared Trump to Hitler.

A compilation quickly debunked her.
