  • OAN Stars Bolt for Newsmax as Pro-Trump Network Reaches New Levels of Bonkers

    Yahoo News ^ | 5/18/22 | Justin Baragona, Diana Falzone
    As the two fringe cable TV outlets battle for former President Donald Trump’s affections, several high-profile One America News staffers have jumped ship to Newsmax—not just in pursuit of a larger audience, insiders said, but also as a respite from OAN’s increasing extremism. Already known for its cartoonishly bonkers MAGA propagandizing, OAN in recent months has veered even further into unhinged right-wing territory. And Newsmax—which is often just as obsequiously pro-Trump in its commentary—has pulled back on its wildest election conspiracy theories while hoovering up some of OAN’s top on-air talent: news anchor Alex Salvi, correspondent Jenn Pellegrino, and reporter...

    Historic: Heavily Armed Idaho 3 Percenters Roll Up On FBI Compound (Pacific Patriot Network) This is the very first time in U.S. History that the Federal Bureau of Investigations has ever been confronted by heavily armed members of the Patriot community. The leadership team of the Pacific Patriot Network rolled up on the FBI compound with approximately 20 vehicles and entered into firm, but diplomatic dialogue with FBI agents. Again, to emphasize the significance of this historic event; the Constitutional Crisis at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is being peacefully resolved with direct intervention by the PPN.

    Inside a red brick house in Falls Church, Bridget Mary Meehan placed a silver chalice of wine and a plate of flatbread on the coffee table in her living room and prepared to lead a sacred, forbidden ceremony. "As we gather around this table, this intimate little house church table, let us remember that God is raising us up, all of us," she said, smiling at the four worshipers who had come to hear her say Mass. Three and a half years ago, Meehan joined a group of Catholic women from across the United States known as the Roman Catholic...

    Retired Army officer Drew Dix and I met at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Ga., in 1969. As former noncommissioned officers who had received direct commissions, we became acquainted while attending the Infantry Officer Basic Course. Staff Sergeant Dix earned the Medal of Honor (MOH) in Vietnam during the 1968 Tet Offensive, and President Lyndon Johnson had presented the medal to him in the White House shortly before we met. Dix tells his remarkable story in his book, “The Rescue of River City.” The former Special Forces soldier is one of the calmest men I’ve ever known, but he...

    JUST ANOTHER POWER GRAB by Timothy Rollins, Editor and Publisher November 10, 2005 In what is but yet another pathetic power grab attempt by the shamelessly corrupt United Nations, they are seeking to control the Internet as part of the agenda to be discussed at the World Summit on the International Society in Tunisia next week. The group currently holding control over operation and efficiency of the Internet is ICANN - the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers - which is in large part controlled by the United States and loosely supervised by the U.S. Commerce Department.

    Mini-Motorcycle Trend Zooms Across Nation Tuesday, June 29, 2004 By Catherine Donaldson-Evans NEW YORK — If you liked the movie “Big” about a boy-turned-man or just want to relive your childhood, you might find yourself caught up in a wacky craze over pint-size motorcycles. Called "pocket bikes" (search) and originally created for racing, the li'l cycles are catching on like mad across the country, particularly among teenaged and 20-something guys — who don’t seem to mind looking like adults on kids' toys as they zip around hunched over on the too-small motos. “They think they look cool,” said Linda Ma,...

    Matt Drudge, meet John Byrne and Jesse Kanson-Benanav. The two recent college grads are hoping to give the famous Drudge Report a run for its money with their new alternative news Web site, the Raw Story. Byrne, 22, of Cambridge, and Kanson-Benanav, 23, of Jamaica Plain, launched the liberal news Web site (www.rawstory.com) in January. They founded the site as an alternative news directory to provide interesting and relevant news stories aimed at the "left-leaning market." "At the core, our goal is to unearth and spotlight stories underplayed by the popular press, in particular those which highlight betterment and open...

    Former first lady Barbara Bush doesn't think much of the Democrat White House wannabes trying to topple her son. "So far, they are a pretty sorry group, if you want my opinion," she said this morning on "Today." "This is the world according to Barbara Bush, not George, not George H.W., not anybody." Her hubby noted the donkeys' abuse of "vicious rhetoric" against the president. "The one who makes, you know, the most outrageous charges against the president, and then he gets his 20 seconds on the evening news," former President G.H.W. Bush said. "Hey, I didn't ride in...

    Medalgate Posted: September 30, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 David H. Hackworth Recently in Iraq, an Army two-star general put himself in for the Silver Star, a gallantry award, for just being there, and for the Combat Infantryman Badge, an award designed for infantry grunts far below the rank of this division commander. During the war, members of an Air Force bomber crew were all awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for lobbing a smart bomb from 30,000 feet onto a house where Saddam was rumored to be breaking bread – even though Saddam's still out there somewhere sucking desert...

    Rangers caught in the PC crossfire Posted: May 27, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 David H. Hackworth Rangers have always been my favorite soldiers. My admiration for them probably started at age 10 when I watched Spencer Tracy in the movie "Northwest Passage" – or perhaps it was the daring deeds of Darby's Rangers in Africa, Sicily, Italy and France. For sure, seeing Rangers in action in Korea and Vietnam was the clincher. And once I was hooked, I've remained one of their biggest fans. Since the Korean War, the Infantry Center at Fort Benning, Ga., has been training...

    <p>The federal government continues to concentrate on rooting out olive-skinned, religion-perverting terrorists and terrorist wanna-bes. And with good reason — many of the terrorist and terrorist wanna-bes are olive-skinned perverters of religion.</p> <p>Others have made it something of a cottage industry in exposing paramilitary hate groups that are, invariably, at least according to their reportage, stocked by disaffected white male right-wingers.</p>
