People need to see this , as Greg Gutfeld absolutely nails it on the transgender lies & who is culpable for this rise in, & lies, regarding transgenderism.

VIDEOImagine a White House press conference in the near future. The reporters are fervently raising their hands desperately hoping to be called upon to ask a question. At the podium, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt or perhaps even President Trump points at Olivia Rinaldi of CBS News and says "TAYLOR SWIFT." What does poor Olivia do? Does she correct either Leavitt or President Trump or is she just grateful she got called upon and asks her question? Either way, it is an hilarious way of emphasizing how unserious our news media has become.There is a YUUUUUGE upside to this....

I’m putting that irrefutable statement of fact in a headline, because I haven’t seen it anywhere else.Yesterday in Minnesota, a man who claimed to be a woman shot up a Catholic church full of children. He wasn’t a “trans woman,” let alone a woman. He was a man. A very crazy man.A lot of mainstream “news” outlets don’t want you to say that. And if you insist on pointing out the truth, they’re eager to brand you a bigot. “We may never know why the tranny spree killer, who left behind a manifesto, shot all those people. It was probably...

CNN Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Perez inaccurately claimed Wednesday that semiautomatic firearms could fire “dozens of bullets” with a single pull of the trigger while covering a Minneapolis shooting. An active shooter opened fire during an all-school mass held by the Annunciation Catholic School on Wednesday morning, killing at least two children and injuring 17. Perez made the comments on “The Situation Room” before there was any official information about the type of firearm used. “It was really disturbing to hear what the man we heard from the affiliate said about how long it went on,” co-host Pamela Brown said....

Summary ICE officers face burnout, frustration amid Trump's aggressive enforcement Public outrage grows over ICE's arrest tactics ICE launches recruitment drive to hire 10,000 officers WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Under President Donald Trump, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has become the driving force of his sweeping crackdown on migrants, bolstered by record funding and new latitude to conduct raids, but staff are contending with long hours and growing public outrage over the arrests. Those internal pressures are taking a toll. Two current and nine former ICE officials told Reuters the agency is grappling with burnout and frustration among...

It is possible for two things to be true at the same time: Trump was absolutely unfairly targeted, and Trump’s targets are now being fairly targeted for evidence of real, actual crimes. Both the New York Times and the Washington Post were out with Editorial Board editorials Friday night lamenting the raid on John Bolton’s home and office and they both read like they came from the same talking points. Both the Times and the Post frame it the same way: the investigations into Bolton, Letitia James, Adam Schiff, etc., are “weightless,” clearly just “revenge” on the part of Trump,...

Despite a looming thunderstorm, a large crowd formed in Wilton Manors on the Wilton Bridge in response to the state’s recent order to remove painted crosswalks. It was the second of two demonstrations Monday evening with a simple message: they will not erase us. Around 50 people were seen chanting together along Sebastian Street in Fort Lauderdale Beach for the first gathering. Miss Bouvee, a local drag artist...

Journalists Against Journalism.Our critics can call us any name they like. That doesn’t change the facts.“Olivia Reingold and Tanya Lukyanova performed a public service by asking and answering a simple question,” write The Editors. (Illustration by The Free Press, images via screen grabs)By The Editors 08.25.25 — Israel and AntisemitismLast week, The Free Press ran an investigation into a dozen viral photos published by major international media outlets aimed at depicting starvation in Gaza. All 12 pictures featured distressed Gazans, mostly children. All were skin and bones. And all suffered from preexisting conditions, like cerebral palsy.Crucially, that last piece of...

President Trump went on a late-night attack against NBC and ABC News on Sunday, deriding them for what, in his view, was "biased" coverage and said he would be in favor of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revoking their licenses. The Republican president said the news outlets had given him negative coverage on "97%" of stories. It wasn’t clear from where Trump was citing the "97%" figure. A study released earlier this year by the conservative media watchdog group, Media Research Center (MRC), found that coverage of the president’s first 100 days in office was "92% negative." "IF THAT IS...

Despite a very high popularity and, according to many, among the greatest 8 months in Presidential History, ABC & NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the worst and most biased networks in history, give me 97% BAD STORIES. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC. I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!! MAGA

Protesters repainted the rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse Memorial in Orlando after state crews painted over it, reigniting tensions over LGBTQ+ visibility. The crosswalk, installed in 2017 after the nightclub massacre, had been removed citing updated state

Friday’s Bolton raid and the rebuke of Trump’s $500M fine show what happens when justice is not impartial.If you are a liberal alarmed by the Friday raid on the home of former national security adviser John Bolton, well, you should be. It’s possible that if charges come out, we’ll learn that Bolton committed a security breach that would have been prosecuted under any president. But there are reasons to suspect otherwise, given that President Donald Trump and FBI director Kash Patel have endorsed lawfare against their political enemies, including Bolton.This is a crisis for American democracy, because even if charges...

President Trump has embraced an array of far-right views and talking points in ways that have delighted many right-wing activists who have long supported those ideas.During President Trump’s first turn in the White House, right-wing extremists like the Proud Boys were on the streets, weekend after weekend, raising their voices — and oftentimes their fists — about issues such as immigration, the squelching of conservative speech and the removal of Confederate-era statues. But in the first seven months of Mr. Trump’s second term, there has been a conspicuous absence of far-right demonstrations. And that, some leaders of the movement say,...

The following idiotic piece that ran from the Washington Post's editorial board said that the FBI raid on former National Security Council advisor John Bolton raid "underscores the danger of putting partisan hacks in top law enforcement positions." FBI raid targeting Bolton crosses a line in the Trump revenge campaign Yes, they wrote that. What a bunch of hypocrites. Of course, they acted as though Democrat hack appointees in comparable positions from not so long ago, such as Merrick Garland, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Andy McCabe, James Comey, and others, were absolutely independent and non-partisan no matter what they did....

The headline to Tuesday’s screed in Variety by Michael Schneider, the Hollywood-based entertainment mag’s executive editor for TV, was as subtle as a Michael Bay movie: “As Fascism Takes Hold in the U.S.,How Will — and Should — the TV Landscape Depict Our Real-Life Horrors?” Schneider railed against living in a world “where our rights are continually under attack, our speech threatened, our healthcare slashed, our standing on the world stage destroyed, a secret police in ICE now roaming the streets and violently arresting people without just cause, military forces are being moved into our cities because they don’t support...

It’s possible Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to “federalize” law enforcement in Washington, D.C., was just a one-off power grab, reflecting the federal government’s unique control of the capital city and Trump’s own obsession with Washington as a symbol of the American greatness he claims to be restoring. In other words, maybe he took over D.C. because he could. But the exotic and rather fascistic appearance of National Guard units on the streets of Washington absent a riot or some other historically relevant pretext makes you wonder if the 47th president has something far worse in store. Here are some possibilities...

Trump’s win wasn’t merely a mandate, but a repudiation of Democrat policies.For months, the propaganda press insisted that President Trump didn’t win in a landslide. The goal was obvious: strip Trump and Republicans of any claim to a mandate and paint their popularity as inflated. But the narrative just crumbled, with a new report showing just how much ground Democrats lost in 2024.A New York Times (NYT) analysis found the “Democratic share of the electorate decreased” in thirty states (plus Washington D.C.) between 2020 and 2024 while Republicans “either expanded their advantage or closed the gap with Democrats in all...

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, at Tuesday's briefing, criticized the "left-wing media" and "failed foreign policy establishment" for "actively rooting against the president in his pursuit of peace in Ukraine." KAROLINE LEAVITT: For one thing that has absolutely not changed is the media's negative and downright false coverage of President Trump and his foreign policy accomplishments. From the beginning of this entire process, much of the left-wing media has been actively rooting against the President of the United States in the pursuit of peace. Initially, the media ridiculously claimed that President Trump was somehow beholden to Russia for even...

The far-left Washington Post obviously wants Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dead. Nothing else explains why the Post published a story 1) revealing the Secretary’s security protocols, and 2) complaining he has too much security. (snip) What follows is nearly 2,500(!) words that can be boiled down this way: Hey, we in the regime media have spent the better part of a year turning Pete Hegseth into a polarizing figure and national villain, and now you’re getting in the way of somebody assassinating him! No fair. We worked so hard.

Beleagured cable news channel MSNBC has rebranded itself as MS NOW, but that wasn't the only new name considered. The executives at the network reportedly settled on the new name after whittling down a list of suggestions. The Babylon Bee has obtained the following exclusive list of other names considered for the rebrand: MSTrumpIsBadNBC: Including the channel's core message right in the name was a bold idea. CNN+ 2: It was eventually decided that following in the footsteps of the original CNN+ was not a path to success. Rachel Maddow's Gigante Variety Hour: An idea combining news and opinions...
