The Morning Report — 3/ 27 /25
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. Continuing from yesterday, the top story is the continued Democrat propaganda hyping of the Tempest in a Teapot Dome of Jeffrey Goldberg being supposedly privy to a top secret conversation. That he published it is not the crime of all crimes, but the alleged malfeasance of Trump's Defense and Nat Sec leaders allowing him onto the call.
Two points, first from our erudite friend Robert Spencer:
The fact that the far left’s propaganda arm, otherwise known as the establishment media, is making so much of the Signal chat affair is an indication of how little it has to work with in the new Trump administration. Back at this point in Trump’s first administration, the Russian Collusion hoax was in full swing, and the Ukraine phone call impeachment, the bogus Jan. 6 “insurrection,” and all-out lawfare against Trump were in the offing. By comparison, the Signal business is thin gruel indeed, but to try to make the most of it that can be made, a lawsuit has been filed, and lo and behold, Trump-hating Judge James Boasberg, the same corrupt leftist ideologue who has been doing all he can to stop Trump from deporting criminal migrants, has been assigned the case. . .National security advisor Michael Waltz said of The Atlantic’s far-left scandalmonger Jeffrey Goldberg, the “journalist” who was somehow added to the Signal chat: “I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but of all the people out there, somehow this guy – who has lied about the president, who has lied to Gold Star families, lied to their attorneys and gone to Russia hoax, gone to just all kinds of lengths to lie and smear the president of the United States – and he’s the one that somehow gets on somebody’s contact and then gets sucked into this group.”
That’s the real question: is there another deep state operative in Waltz’s agency who is trying to emulate Miles Taylor? Taylor was the young Trump administration official who shot to a kind of fame in September 2018, when he wrote an anonymous op-ed in the New York Times that was one of the first open acknowledgments that there was a coterie of federal bureaucrats that is determined to thwart Trump’s agenda by any means possible: “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration: I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.”
And the equally estimable Miranda Devine:
There’s no getting around the fact that Signal-gate was a blunder.In soccer terms, it was an own goal, a totally unnecessary screw-up that set back the Trump team.
But the team is still winning and the opposition is still in total disarray and fighting among themselves.
Let’s hope lessons have been learned.
It’s hard to believe that, of all the people on planet Earth, it was Jeffrey Goldberg, America’s most rabidly anti-Trump journalist, who could have been “inadvertently” patched into a sensitive Signal group chat of the national security Cabinet discussing sensitive plans for military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. But that’s what President Trump’s National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is telling us. . .
. . .But something doesn’t add up, and you can’t blame the Trump administration for being paranoid after all the Deep State ops against the president in his first term.
This smells a lot like the Russia hoax, the Steele Dossier, the phony impeachment, the Dirty 51, etc.
One thing is for sure, Trump won’t sacrifice Waltz to appease the media after the ambush in his first term of Gen. Michael Flynn, his first national security adviser.
The president has learned that you never give an inch to the forces of darkness, because they are insatiable.
They’ll never stop. So he is standing by Waltz, calling him a “good man [who has] learned a lesson.”
As I stated, or at least tried to state yesterday, perhaps Goldberg on the call was part of a cointel op to both gather intel on Houthi assets via a known traitorous scumbag (Goldberg) and or nail Deep State saboteurs who are still working to undermine Trump and his agenda even if it means putting American lives at risk.
I'd prefer to think that this is the case and if so naturally Trump and team can't come out and openly reveal it. That being said, you would think the traitors still in the ranks of the Intel community and military would know that something like this would be in the offing, unless the rot and corruption is so pervasive that the majority of agents, operatives and employees in Langley, the Pentagon and elsewhere are our enemy. It's frightening enough if one or a few are traitors - - but to have entire agencies populated with Walkers, Robert Hanssens, and Rosenbergs is nightmare fuel. Hell we had Obama as President and puppet master for 3 terms and as I said yesterday and many times before, that John Brennan could have become a CIA agent in the first place however many years ago, presumably when that agency was headed and staffed by in theory pro-American ethical leaders and personnel.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden, under the direction of Obama and many of the same American as
And yet JEffrey Goldberg accidentally or accidentally on purpose being in on this call is the greatest threat to our national security ever!
To me, and I think most Americans, this is a big fat stinking nothing-burger meant to distract us from the abject insane disaster of perversion, criminality, tyranny and violence in its insane desperate attempt to maintain political relevance, not to make our lives better but to at long last seize absolute power and enslave or destroy us whichever comes first.
But something Like THIS? Pay no mind:
On the 1300 block of North Eustis Street in St. Paul, Minnesota, a ten-minute drive from the Governor’s Mansion, sits a brutalist brick building that houses a secret Chinese Communist Party (CCP) front operation that serves several functions for the CCP — none of them good for the United States.Out of this building, CCP operatives curry favor with politicians like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and provide various services for Chinese Americans in Minnesota who are still loyal to Beijing, including hosting meet-and-greets with CCP diplomats and dignitaries. Businesses registered at this address receive six-figure grants from American taxpayers.
The building has been associated with a web of businesses and groups including the Alliance of Chinese Culture & Arts, the Center for Community Service, and the Alliance of Minnesota Chinese Organizations. It is also the home of the Overseas Chinese Service Center of Minnesota (“Minnesota OCSC”), which apparently works under the umbrella of the CCP’s “united front.” . .
. . . Chinese dictator Xi Jinping describes united front work as one of the CCP’s “magic weapons” that helps “undermine the sovereignty and integrity of the political system of targeted states.”
Speaking of Minnesota, oh wait a second... I mean the diametric and geographic opposite - Ho Lee Fook!!!:
The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has announced that multiple state agencies are investigating a project to create a “Muslim city” in the state, with some fearing that Sharia law may be applied within the settlement. The East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) is behind the project, dubbed “EPIC City,” which plans to create a new city in Collin and Hunt Counties.Governor Abbott stated on social media platform X that the project has “serious legal issues,” announcing: “A dozen state agencies are investigating it, the Attorney General will look into it, and legislators are considering laws to restrict it, as well as laws to prevent foreign adversaries from buying land in Texas.” . . .The project was initially announced in February, with the organizers arguing that while the settlement will be Muslim, it will be integrated. Governor Abbott reacted to the project by stating, “To be clear, Sharia law is not allowed in Texas. Nor are Sharia cities. Nor are ‘no go zones’ which this project seems to imply.”
With all due respect to Governor Abbott, if/God-forbid when the Muslims take over (or likely die trying should my beloved Texans do the right thing and ventilate them in the attempt) Sharia will make your head spin. Mostly on the ground after it saws your head off with the KSM rusty hacksaw.
Note to those screaming bloody murder about the Houthis being our enemies, maybe the above story might be of some interest, as well as the disgusting geschrei about the deportations of Hamas boosters and their allies. Not to mention foreign-born Latin American gangsters, thugs, murderers, rapists and human traffickers and drug traffickers.
The judge who blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign gang members will hear a lawsuit challenging officials’ use of a Signal chat to discuss attack plans.American Oversight alleged in its lawsuit Tuesday that the app Signal, where officials hosted a chat about plans to bomb the Houthis in Yemen that included The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, does not comply with federal record laws. . .
. . . Judge James Boasberg, an Obama-appointee who previously ordered the administration to halt flights carrying members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, was assigned to the Signal case.
The administration invoked state secrets privilege on Monday when it declined to disclose further information about the flights.(RELATED: Trump Admin Intel Officials Say No Classified Information Was Leaked In Signal Messages)
No of course not! Not a peep about this, except to say Trump is squelching free speech and acting like Hitler in calling them dangerous enemy aliens as a pretext to have them ejected. And dear Dems, repulsive as Jasmine Crockett may be, please put her out there as often and loudly as possible all the way through to the end of Trump's term, and then for the next 16 years covering two terms of Vance and two of his VP pick, Potuses 47-49. That should do the trick quite nicely!
Funny how the CIA can confirm the existence of the Ark of the Covenant, by someone swallowing LSD, staring at a lava lamp and impersonating Carson as Karnak, but no one could find Hillary Clinton's 33,000 missing e-mails?
Have a great day — And. . . A gentle reminder to my fellow Wisconsinites to get out and vote early, early absentee or whatever for Eric Schimel or on Election Day next Tuesday. Earlier is more better. And often!

I'm worried about Democrats.
Meanwhile, Gen Z is the "most conservative generation" in modern memory.
I find this part of this chart shocking. I sometimes talk about narrative violations, and if we knew anything about Donald Trump eight years ago, it was that young people didn't like him. And Republicans had been maybe throwing away young people for generations in order to run up their margins among seniors," Klein said. "But if you look at this chart, 75-year-old White men supported Kamala Harris at a significantly higher rate than 20-year-old White men.""It is a real shift," Shor agreed. "This is the thing I am the most shocked by in the last four years -- that young people have gone from being the most progressive generation since the Baby Boomers, and maybe even in some ways more so, to becoming potentially the most conservative generation that we've experienced maybe in 50 to 60 years."
The data expert went on to discuss what he called "the scariest chart in this entire presentation," which shows the massive and historically unusual polarization between young men and women.
"What's crazy is that if you look at people under the age of 30, the gender gap has exploded. Eighteen-year-old men were 23 percentage points more likely to support Donald Trump than 18-year-old women, which is just completely unprecedented in American politics," Shor said.
And Jordan Peterson says it will get more conservative, because girls, he says, tend to follow boys in their preferences. Boys have already shifted, and in four or five years, girls will probably shift to match them. He says that's because girls date older boys/men, and so the younger girls coming up, who will be dating boys 4-5 years older, will start trending conservative.

NPR and PBS Ideologues Face Congress, Defend Forcing Taxpayers to Pay for Partisan Propaganda
—Ace
NRP's Katherine Maher is a woke disaster.
NPR's CEO has owned up to not giving the Hunter Biden laptop story the coverage it deserved.Katherine Maher, a progressive who previously headed Wikipedia before starting at NPR last year, made the admission after being grilled relentlessly by Marjorie Taylor Greene on Capitol Hill about the broadcaster's alleged bias.
'I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively or sooner,' Maher said Wednesday, at a hearing centered around whether NPR should receive federal funding.
At another moment, Greene confronted Maher - a 41-year-old former tech exec - on some of her more opinionated comments.
This included statements to social media penned in the past, like one that slammed Donald Trump as a 'racist' and 'sociopath' in 2020.
When asked by GOP Rep. Tim Burchett about such tweets, Maher said: 'I regret [them] today.'
The CEO also said she and her team 'has work to do', when it comes to offering access to reliable reporting.
Joining Maher was PBS boss Paula Kerger - but due to the makeup of her staff and past comments, Maher appeared to bear the brunt of the beatdown.
This led to some bombshell admissions - including the one surrounding the recently pardoned son of the former president.
'Our current editorial leadership thinks that was a mistake, as do I,' Maher said of NPR's failure to immediately cover the the scandal surrounding contents found on his laptop, which surfaced in late 2020.
...
Contents seized from the laptop shed light on Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine and China - all while his father was vice president.
On March 31, 2021, NPR published an article stating U.S. intelligence had discredited the story, before issuing a correction the very next day - one saying officials actually never made such a statement.
The Daily Mail notes that the computer shop owner who turned over Hunter Biden's laptop almost immediately faced penny-ante retribution from Biden's IRS:
...
In September 2021, Mac Isaac also received what he perceived as threats from the IRS, demanding a supposedly overdue $57 from a 2016 tax return.
He told the Post how he sent the agency the $57 almost immediately.
...
With this and more on her mind Wednesday, a visibly disgusted Greene - showing little patience - tore in Maher from the outset.'Let's walk through some of your statements so the public can understand your personal views,' she began.
'Your fellow Americans selected Donald Trump as president again this past November - you called him "a deranged, racist and sociopath."'You posted on X that America is "addicted" to white supremacy,' she added, before ad-libbing: 'That's appalling.
'You've publicly chastised using the phrase "boy and girl", which you said "erases the language for nonbinary people",' the 50-year-old Georgia firebrand continued, before again offering her own commentary.
'There's only two genders, by the way.'
She went on to point out how NPR's federal funding comes from 'all' American tax-dollars - not just NPR viewers, listeners, and readers.
Roughly half, she pointed out, were the 77 million who voted for Trump - 'someone you called a "deranged, racist sociopath,"' she reminded Maher, before loudly sucking her teeth.
'Many find your professorship and anti-free speech views more concerning than your politics,' Greene insisted, telling Maher: 'The only speech you like seems to be speech you agree with.'
Greene went on to recall more apparent slip-ups from Maher, whose role at NPR is her first in journalism.
'In 2021, you called the First amendment the "number one challenge" in American journalism because it makes it hard to crack down on bad information,' Greene said - before Maher attempted to clarify those comments were taken out of context.
'You said on a TED talk that "our reverence for the truth might be a distraction",' Greene, in rare form, continued.
'You've also expressed support for deplatforming individuals you view as "facist".'
Greene then sarcastically asked the CEO who she believes should be in charge of making such calls.
'Is it NPR? Is it the government? Is it you Ms. Maher?'
...
At this point, Greene reminded Maher how she was under oath, as well as the punishments one could face, including prison time, if found flouting the federal law.
She went on to ask the same for Kerger, who said no and that PBS 'look[s] forward to delivering the material required in this part of the investigation.'
To this, Greene offered a characteristic, out-of-the-ordinary clapback, before again sucking her teeth.
'We look forward to that too. I'm assuming both of you are concerned about this,' she said. 'And that's why you brought so many attorneys with you today.'
Chris Rufo collected up this Regime Communist's most pungent emanations back in 2024.
Katherine Maher has a golden résumé, with stints and affiliations at UNICEF, the Atlantic Council, the World Economic Forum, the State Department, Stanford University, and the Council on Foreign Relations. She was chief executive officer and executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation. And, as of last month, she is CEO of National Public Radio.Mere weeks into this new role, Maher has stepped into controversy. Long-time NPR senior editor Uri Berliner published a scathing indictment of the self-professed "public" media service's ideological capture. Rather than address the substance of these criticisms--which will ring true to anyone who has listened to NPR over the past decade--Maher punished Berliner with a five-day unpaid suspension. (Berliner announced his resignation from NPR earlier today.)
But Maher has another problem: her archive of 29,400 tweets.
I have spent the past few days exploring Maher's prolific history on social media, which she seems to have used as a private diary, narrating her every thought, emotion, meeting, and political opinion in real-time. This archive is a collection of her statements, but at a deeper level, it provides a window into the soul of a uniquely American archetype: the affluent, white, female liberal--many of whom now sit atop our elite institutions.
What you notice first about Maher's public speech are the buzzwords and phrases: "structural privilege," "epistemic emergency," "transit justice," "non-binary people," "late-stage capitalism," "cis white mobility privilege," "the politics of representation," "folx." She supported Black Lives Matter from its earliest days. She compares driving cars with smoking cigarettes. She is very concerned about "toxic masculinity."
On every topic, Maher adopts the fashionable language of left-wing academic theory and uses it as social currency, even when her efforts veer into self-parody. She never explains, never provides new interpretation--she just repeats the phrases, in search of affirmation and, when the time is right, a promotion.
Maher understands the game: America's elite institutions reward loyalty to the narrative. Those who repeat the words move up; those who don't move out.
Next, you notice the partisanship. Maher was "excited" about Elizabeth Warren in 2012. She "just [couldn't] wait to vote" for Hillary in 2016. She once had a dream about "sampling and comparing nuts and baklava on roadside stands" with Kamala Harris. She worked to "get out the vote" in Arizona for Joe Biden but slightly resented being called a "Biden supporter"; for her, it was simply a matter of being a "supporter of human rights, dignity, and justice."
Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a "deranged racist sociopath."
If you read Maher's tweets closely, you also get glimpses of the human being. She spent much of her time in airports, taxis, meetings, and conferences. She expressed anger over the fact that most first-class flyers were white men, then noted that she went straight "to the back of the bus." In her thirties, unmarried and without children, she felt the need to explain that "the planet is literally burning" and that she could not, in good conscience, "bring a child into a warming world."
Behind the frenetic activity and the moral posturing, you wonder. Maher once posted her daily routine, which involved yoga, iced coffee, back-to-back meetings, and Zoom-based psychotherapy. She resented being served maternity advertisements on Instagram, she said. She was not "currently in the market for a baby" and would not be "tending her ovaries" according to the dictates of American capitalism.
Of course, she has also campaigned vigorously for censorship, or as she calls it, "fighting disinformation" and "harmful information." She has called the First Amendment "the main impediment" to fighting harmful information.
She also declared that "Truth is a distraction" from what's really important, which is finding "consensus" (the leftwing consensus) on leftwing political dogma.
So of course Biden installed her has head of NPR, literal state media which is supposed to serve all of the taxpayers forced to fund it, not just yoga-practicing shrink-seeking lunatic AWFLs like herself.
Christopher F. Rufo @realchrisrufoEXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher helped advance Color Revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa, arguing that regime-change operatives could "govern a country" by capturing radio stations.
Now she has taken over NPR, bringing the Color Revolution home.
The Color Revolution is restless. Beginning in the former Soviet republics in the early 2000s, it moved along the coast of North Africa with the so-called Arab Spring in the 2010s, and, into the current decade, has spread further.The ostensible purpose of Color Revolutions--named after the Rose Revolution, Orange Revolution, and Tulip Revolution in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, respectively--is to replace authoritarian regimes with Western liberal democracies. American and European intelligence services are often heavily involved in these revolutions, with ambitions not only to spread modern ideologies but also to undermine geopolitical opponents.
The West's favored methods of supporting Color Revolutions include fomenting dissent, organizing activists through social media, promoting student movements, and unleashing domestic unrest on the streets. Americans hold varying opinions on such efforts, but what many don't realize is that they occur not only overseas but also here in the United States. The summer of rioting following the death of George Floyd, which ushered in the new DEI regime, was in many ways a domestic Color Revolution, advanced by progressive NGOs, media entities, and political actors.
A minor figure in these movements, a woman named Katherine Maher, has recently come to greater prominence. Maher was involved in the wave of Color Revolutions that took place in North Africa in the 2010s, and she supported the post-George Floyd upheavals in the United States in the 2020s. She was also the CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation, which runs the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, and was just recently named the new CEO of National Public Radio.
At NPR, Maher has already been embroiled in controversy. Longtime editor Uri Berliner, who has now resigned, accused her of left-wing bias and suppressing dissent. Following these accusations, I did extensive reporting demonstrating that Maher has a troubling history of arguing against the notion of objective truth and supporting censorship in the name of democracy.
Now I have gathered additional facts that raise new questions about Maher's role as a regime-change agent, both foreign and domestic. She has brought the Color Revolution home to America.
...
During much of 2011, Maher worked for the National Democratic Institute, a government-funded NGO with deep connections to U.S. intelligence and the Democratic Party's foreign policy machine. The organization was "set up to do independently what CIA had done covertly worldwide," says national security analyst J. Michael Waller. While initially some distance supposedly existed between NDI and the intelligence services, that relationship has devolved back to "the gray zone," per Waller, and it appears that they often work in concert. "NDI is an instrument of Samantha Power and the global revolution elements of the Obama team," Waller explains. "It has gone along with, and been significant parts of, color revolutions around the world. It is very much a regime-change actor."
American adversaries such as China agree with this sentiment and have accused NDI of being a "second CIA." Some nations, fearing American interference, have banned NDI from operating in their territories. In 2012, for example, Egypt accused NDI and other organizations of serving as unregistered foreign agents and working "in coordination" with U.S. intelligence to subvert the Egyptian state.
During her time at NDI, Katherine Maher was "part of a revolutionary vanguard movement," says Waller.

WSJ: A Lawsuit, Citing an Admission Made by a Scientist, Claims That Pfizer Sat on Positive Covid-19 "Vaccine" Results to Throw the Election to Biden
—Ace
Ed Morrissey quotes the Wall Street Journal:
Soon after President Trump won the presidential election in November, British drugmaker GSK brought an unusual claim to federal prosecutors in Manhattan, according to people familiar with the matter.A senior GSK scientist, who formerly worked at rival Pfizer, had told GSK colleagues that Pfizer delayed announcing the success of its Covid vaccine in 2020 until after that year's election.
The scientist disputes that account of what he told colleagues. But prosecutors are taking a closer look at what GSK shared with them, which is potentially politically explosive. Trump for years has claimed that Pfizer sat on the positive results of clinical trials, which could have reflected well on his management of the pandemic. There has never been evidence to support the accusation, and the development of the Covid vaccines is widely viewed as a medical miracle, coming faster than any other vaccine in history.
The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan has interviewed at least two people in connection with the allegation, including a GSK executive who took notes of a conversation with the former Pfizer scientist, according to one of the people familiar with the matter.
Morrissey comments that he's not sure what crime is being investigated here, if any. I suppose that if Pfizer's leaders had been asked previously under oath about suppressing their trial data until two days after the election -- which they probably have been asked -- then this information could prove obstruction of Congress.
There might have been some language in the original government contract stating that Pfizer, in exchange for billions of funding, would find (and announce) a vaccine as soon as possible, and delaying the announcement of the vaccine could be construed, a bit shakily, as fraud.
More like a non-criminal breach of contract, but I don't know.
Some bad behavior, like election-rigging and running psyops against the country, has never been outlawed by a specific criminal code.
It is something to consider as we ponder whether or not to ban Pfizer and other Big Pharma firms from basically bribing the media to always defend them.
Former Biden Staffer: We Bullied the Weakling Press Into Only Reporting What We Allowed Them To Report. It's "So Weird" That the Press "Never Pushed Back."
—Ace
Is it though? Is it really?
My words, not his.
Here are his words:
Michael LaRosa was Jill Biden's press secretary for the first 18 months of Biden's presidency, and in recent weeks he's loosened his lips about how Team Joe mistreated a pliant press corps.In an interview with Cenk Uygur on "The Young Turks" show, LaRosa admitted: "They did bully a lot of journalists, and I think they would tell you that now. They wouldn't have told you at the time."
LaRosa didn't want to say the reporters were "co-conspirators," but it's impossible to see all of their obsequious cooperation with Team Biden and think that word is inappropriate.
Uygur asked how they bullied the press, and LaRosa said Joe's handlers insisted they had to pre-approve the quotes used in stories. That's helping shape the story, not something an "independent journalist" would accept.
LaRosa added "you saw them get caught trying to script questions to radio reporters" last summer. They didn't just "try." The radio hosts the Bidenites selected were happy to use the pre-scripted questions. LaRosa added: "It was very reminiscent to me of being on the campaign in 2020, where these young press staffers in these states like New Hampshire, or Iowa, or Nevada, they were sort of like dog trained to make the questions conditional for interviews." Questions had to be submitted for approval.
So, all of the "interviews" they granted were pre-conditioned on the promise that the "reporter" would only use the quotes that the Biden staff approved. The "reporter" would run his story by the Biden staff, and the staff would veto any quotes they didn't like, stuff where Biden went off-message or was simply incoherent.
As Jim Acosta said to President Trump: "We are real news, Mr. President."
On "Doctor" Jill Biden's team, LaRosa said, he told staffers it was "unethical" to require questions before granting access, but they replied it's what Team Joe (or "the boys team") required. "These young kids are really taught to make that a part of their sort of pre-pre-screening for interviews.""Yeah, it's amazing to me that no one in the press complained about it," mused Uygur.
Is it?
Is it actually?
..Uygur wondered: "Did the press ever push back? We couldn't see the press pushing back at all, until the debate [fiasco]."
...
LaRosa thought maybe the local reporters would be less intimidated by a national campaign. "Like why didn't any of these reporters even in New Hampshire, and some of these small town papers or local news, like why didn't anybody ever say anything [about the pre-screening]? I thought it was so weird at the time."
So obviously, Trump or Katherine Leavitt should ban every reporter who asked a "pre-screened" question of Biden -- thus perpetrating a fraud on the American people, and showing that they are nothing but Democrat propaganda officers -- from ever setting foot in the press room again.
Make them argue in favor of "pre-clearing" staged questions for a mentally-incompetent archliberal incompetent.

Senate Democrats at Censorship Hearing: There Was No Censorship and Also All the Censorship Was Good and Patriotic
—Ace
John D. Davidson for The Federalist:
Democrats had a tough time at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing yesterday on the censorship industrial complex.They had to argue there was never any censorship during the Biden administration (including during Covid!) and that free speech and freedom of the press were never threatened by the partnership of government agencies with private institutions to combat "disinformation." After all, the government was just trying to catch foreign disinformation operations, they argued, so any censorship that did happen was necessary and proper.
Put another way, the censorship industrial complex never happened -- and if it did it was a good thing and the targets deserved it.
At one point early on in the hearing, Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., more or less came right out and said as much. While his staff displayed a large placard showing a screenshot of a piece I wrote in February 2023 about the Twitter Files -- with "NOT TRUE" stamped across the screenshot in read letters -- Welch claimed that there was nothing whatsoever to the Twitter Files story. Government funding that went to private entities for "disinformation" monitoring, he said, was actually "to help counter foreign disinformation." All the government did, in Welch's telling, was alert Twitter when users violated the company's own terms of service and community guidelines. Nothing to see here!
If anything is "NOT TRUE," it's this absurd characterization of what the Twitter Files actually revealed. Released in tranches to a group of journalists shortly after Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022, the Twitter Files exposed a coordinated and sustained effort by the intelligence community to co-opt and deputize social media platforms like Twitter into censoring American citizens. Basically, it was a scheme to allow the government to censor Americans in a way that would have been straightforwardly unconstitutional if the feds had tried to do it directly.
The Hunter Biden laptop story is a prime example of how this worked. Long before The New York Post published its first bombshell scoop on the laptop in October 2020 there had been an organized effort by the intelligence community to discredit leaked information about Hunter Biden. Why? Because the FBI had been in possession of the laptop since the previous December when the agency seized it from a computer repair shop in Delaware. The FBI already knew the laptop contained damning evidence of the younger Biden's criminal activity ranging from illegal drug use to foreign corruption and influence-peddling on behalf of his father.
The FBI and the intelligence community knew all of this might come out ahead of the presidential election, so for months it had been priming top officials at Twitter and Facebook to dismiss news reports about Hunter Biden as "hack-and-leak" operations by hostile foreign actors. The FBI had even established a special one-way communications channel with Twitter to send documents to the company about supposed foreign disinformation. As part of this setup, the FBI arranged for top Twitter officials to get special security clearances so the agency could share intelligence about possible foreign threats to the upcoming presidential election.
Of course this was all a ruse to groom and pressure Twitter into censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story when it inevitably appeared, which is exactly what the company did -- along with Facebook and every major media outlet in America.
Welch was either totally unaware of this background or simply chose to clumsily misrepresent it. He was similarly dishonest or out of his depth when discussing other aspects of the censorship industrial complex, displaying an almost comical level of naiveté about how online censorship works.
Below, Mollie Hemingway testifies about "censorship tools" like Newsgard or the "Center for Countering Digital Hate" for targeting her site for an advertising boycott. The Federalist was deemed a "hate" publication for noting that the Black Lives Matter riots were not in fact "mostly peaceful," and then deemed to be engaging in disinformation for saying, of the media, "They lie, and they lie, and they lie, and then they lie some more."
She notes that 70% of the public agrees with this sentiment, stating they have little or no trust of the media.
But you can't say that and then hope that your writing will be treated like the writing of anyone else -- that is, that you can get advertising to support yourself while writing, because government-funded, government cut-out groups will starve you of any revenue until you just stop writing, Insolent Peasant.

Are We Still Talking About This Cringe GayOp?
—Ace
Unfortunately we are.
A commenter linked a xeet in which the user speculated that Jeffrey Goldberg, Real Reporter and Totally Not a Democrat Political Operative, held on to a "scoop" he had two weeks ago to release it on the day that Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe testified before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, for the purpose of badgering Trump officials into not using Signal.
Which Biden approved the use of, btw.
And they did this so that their allies in the Administration could once again spy on them using hacker back-doors into the government's email systems.
Why hold on to a fake "scoop" for so long if not for a political attack purpose? People release scoops ASAP because there's always the chance someone will out-scoop you first. How did Jeffrey Goldberg know he wasn't the only person accidentally added to the chat?
So no, he held it for one reason only, to give his Democrat bosses time to plan a coordinated op.
The Administration says that none of the texts Jeffrey Goldberg were classified, which means they are officially un-classified and Jeffrey Goldberg can legally release them.
Instead, he plays a game where he insists that he saw all sorts of "war plans" and Top Secrets but he can't say what they were because Sacred Honor compels him.
The Bulwark's nasty Professional Homosexual Tim Miller (the others are hobbyists only) has trouble understanding why Goldberg just won't release the Totally Classified Texts given that the Administration says they're not classified at all.
The Democrats' latest effort to manufacture a Trump administration scandal blew up in their faces this week after Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, reported that he was somehow included in an encrypted Signal chat group with top administration officials discussing a planned attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen. According to Goldberg, officials discussed classified and/or top-secret war plans.No one disputes that Goldberg was erroneously included in the chat, but the real issue is whether classified or top-secret war plans were actually discussed.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe and DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard testified that nothing classified or top secret was discussed in the chat. Others in the administration have said the same thing.
Goldberg had been given the opening to release the chats in their entirety to prove them wrong. But he insisted that he wouldn't.
During an interview on The Bulwark Podcast with Tim Miller, Goldberg repeatedly evaded calls to produce evidence, raising serious questions about the credibility of his claims.
Miller directly challenged Goldberg, pointing out that top Trump administration officials had accused him of lying. "Now, the Secretary of Defense and the White House Press Secretary have said you're lying, have said there are no war plans there, have said there's no classified information," Miller stated. "So the obvious question is, shouldn't you now demonstrate it? Shouldn't you publish the text?"
Goldberg flatly refused. "No, because they're wrong. They're wrong," he insisted, offering no proof to back up his claims.
Here's the problem with that claim: In the encrypted chat, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz explicitly mentioned the participants' "high side" inboxes, a reference to the classified system. This made it clear they knew certain topics couldn't be discussed on the Signal platform.
Miller pressed Goldberg further in the interview, asking whether he would at least provide the alleged messages to congressional intelligence committees. Instead of responding substantively, Goldberg deflected with sarcasm. "Wow. What? You wanna become my lawyer?" he quipped with an annoyed tone. He clearly wasn't comfortable with the line of questioning, and I got the sense he was hiding something.
As the conversation continued, Goldberg struggled to justify his refusal to produce evidence, resorting to vague justifications. "Just because they're irresponsible with material doesn't mean that I'm gonna be irresponsible with this material," he said. He further attempted to cast doubt on the administration's credibility, suggesting officials were merely trying to "get out of a jam."
In a final attempt to defend his decision, Goldberg framed it as a matter of principle. "I have a pretty clear standard in my own behavior of what I consider... information that I consider to be in the public interest, even if it's technically classified or not," he said, adding that he was "sticking to my principles."
Muh Prinzibuhls! The fake reporter claims that his journalistic prinzibuhls demand that he not release information which the government says is not classified and therefore perfectly legal to report.
Please brah, you gotta believe me brah, those texts were totally filled with Top Secret War Plans, I just can't prove it brah, muh prinzibuhls won't allow me to vindicate my name, you just have to believe me brah.

Trump Signs Executive Order Requiring Proof of Citizenship When Voting in Federal Elections
—Ace
I don't think he can do this, or else Biden would have done the opposite before 2024, mandating that states accept any votes from anyone, no ID required.
I appreciate the sentiment here but I don't think this one will survive.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at restoring confidence in America's elections by enforcing voter ID, cracking down on non-citizen voting, and ensuring compliance with existing federal election laws.Key Details:
The executive order criticizes the United States for falling behind other nations in securing its elections, noting that while India and Brazil use biometric voter ID systems, many U.S. states rely on self-attestation.
Trump ordered the Election Assistance Commission to update the national voter registration form to require "documentary proof of United States citizenship," including passports or REAL ID-compliant documents.
This is interesting:
The order also instructs the Department of Justice to crack down on states that count ballots received after Election Day, stating that counting late ballots is akin to letting someone "vote in person at a former voting precinct" days after polls close.
...
Trump's directive enforces federal laws already on the books, such as 2 U.S.C. sec. 7 and 3 U.S.C. sec. 1, which establish a uniform national Election Day. Referencing a 2024 Fifth Circuit ruling, the order states that ballots must be both cast and received by Election Day. "This is like allowing persons who arrive 3 days after Election Day, perhaps after a winner has been declared, to vote in person... which would be absurd," the order reads.
...
To assist states in cleaning up voter rolls, Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security to provide access to immigration databases and mandated that the Social Security Administration share death and identity data. The Attorney General is instructed to "prioritize enforcement" of statutes that prohibit non-citizens from registering or voting and to coordinate with state officials to prosecute violations.
The order also targets election infrastructure and voting machines, requiring that all voting systems include "a voter-verifiable paper record" and banning systems that use barcodes or QR codes to contain vote data, except for accessibility needs. The Election Assistance Commission is instructed to decertify equipment that fails to meet new integrity standards within 180 days.
It wouldn't be a Trump executive order without a deadly threat to the left's corrupt money:
The executive order further aims to eliminate foreign interference by enforcing 52 U.S.C. sec. 30121, which bans foreign contributions to federal, state, or local elections. Trump highlighted the abuse of ballot initiative spending loopholes and committed federal enforcement resources to curtail this influence, declaring that "foreign nationals and non-governmental organizations have taken advantage of loopholes... undermining the franchise."Through information-sharing agreements, increased prosecution, and withholding of federal funds to uncooperative states, the order seeks to hold jurisdictions accountable for maintaining accurate voter rolls and enforcing citizenship requirements.
As you probably know, ActBlue is very credibly accused of deliberate weakening its donor information protocols to allow foreigners (including foreign intelligence operatives) to donate to Democrats while assigning the donation to a "smurf," an American citizen whose name is being hijacked to launder illegal foreign political donations.
Happy Wednesday. I want to thank whichever commenter told me that March 25 was the "Tolkein Reading Day" because it's the official day the Ring was destroyed. That got me amped up to power through and finish it -- and like magic, I then saw in the text repeated statements that the Ring was destroyed on March 25.
And now-- Hound of the Baskervilles.

Wednesday Morning Rant
—Joe Mannix
Have you heard of the nation of Timor-Leste, or East Timor? I had heard of Timor - the island - but not the tiny nation-state of Timor-Leste. This is probably because it is a fairly new country. After the Portuguese decamped in the 1970s, Indonesia claimed ownership. East Timor disagreed. Indonesia won and assumed control, but the bloody conflict continued for the next thirty years. Eventually, Indonesia went home and the nation of Timor-Leste was formally recognized in 2002.
According to the CIA World Factbook, it has a population of around 1.5 million people and a GDP of around $6 billion, falling rapidly. It produces some oil and gas and has some apparently rapidly-collapsing native industries. Around half the population is estimated to below the poverty line. Unemployment is low. About 300,000 people are between the ages of 15 and 24. It is largely Catholic and literacy is around 70%.

The Morning Report — 3/ 26 /25
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. So the big "story" is the supposed leak of our national security secrets, vis a vis battle plans against the Houthis, because Jeffrey Goldberg, the hack leftist propagandist who edits the teen Comintern webzine known as The Atlantic was included in a group chat with top Intel officials.
Seriously, who actually reads/subscsribes to this rag? So where's the threat?
Top intelligence officials from the Trump administration strongly pushed back Tuesday on claims that classified material was shared in a Signal chat group about America’s attack plans on Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.The comments were made during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing less than 24 hours after The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg published a story about the Signal chat group after he was accidentally included in the group and was able to monitor communications between officials.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe said the encrypted app was loaded onto his computer by technicians at the agency after he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Maybe the so-called leak to Jeffrey Goldberg wasn't a leak, so much as a ruse/plant of false info to get our enemies to reveal themselves to our assets. “One of the things that I was briefed on very early was by the CIA records management folks about the use of Signal as a permissible work use — it is,” Ratcliffe told Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA). “That is a practice that preceded the current administration to the Biden junta.” He said that his communications in the group were “entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information.” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard subsequently told Warner that “there was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.”
A few things to bear in mind. First, the Houthis are aligned with if not, like Hamas and other terror groups in the Middle East, directly controlled and funded by Iran. The goal of Foggy Bottom and the Deep State especially since Obama and Joey Sponge-Brain/Shits-Pants occupied the White House has been to help them become the major power player in the Middle East even if it meant or because it specifically meant destroying the state of Israel.
The emergence and now resurgence of Donald Trump has not only put a serious crimp in those plans but at long last actually threatens the toppling of the Iranian Mullahocracy after 45 years of it spilling rivers of blood all over the world - Thank you Jimmy Carter!
And Trump might actually end the disastrous, yet extremely profitable for the globalists Ukraine/Russia war.
This is the same CIA and State Dept. that was up to its corrupt turkey neck in manufacturing the Russia Collusion Hoax at the behest of and/or approval of Hillary Clinton.
The same CIA that somehow however many years ago allowed an avowed communist, John Brennan to become an operative/agent and then ultimately, with Obama, the bastard son of Stalinist Frank Marshall Davis to actually rise to become the head of the agency.
Remember that the CIA along with other intel agents provoatueur domestic and foreign (Strzok, Steele, Halper, et al) manufactured and then pimped the so called Steele dossier as evidence to be used to impeach and remove Donald Trump from office via leaks to the press as the pre-planted smoking gun, of which Jeffrey Goldberg is a part.
So, with all that as a set up, let me just state right out, if Waltz, Hegseth, Gabbard and anyone on Trump's Nat Sec team unwittingly or wittingly allowed Goldberg or for that matter any unauthorized/cleared party to be in on that call, it is indeed a very serious breach of security and must be dealt with swiftly and surely. Whether Waltz, Hegseth and/or Gabbard have to fall on their swords is up for debate.
But let me put this out there. Given the innate hatred of Donald Trump, as well as for the State of Israel and the willingness if not eagerness to go so far as to allow American servicemen to be slaughtered if it dings Trump and throws a wrench into his foreign (and domestic) policy goals, the propgandists in the legacy media will aid and abet our enemies any way they can.
Perhaps, knowing this, is it not reasonable to speculate that Waltz, Hegseth, Gabbard or underlings allowed Golberg in on the call knowing he'd publish the secrets, in the hopes that somehow the Houthis/Iranians would get the info and in so doing, make moves that our reconnaissance assets (satellites, Sig Int et al) would pick up on and in so doing reveal their deposition and strength to us beforehand.
I'm not saying this is what happened though I sure hope something like this might have been what happened. If not, then heads have got to roll.
Naturally, if underlings were the guilty party, and Musk moves to DOGE them and the rest of Langley, you can just see the reactions from the usual quarters.
I hope and pray that our servicemen and women, overt and covert are not put in any danger as a result of this.
But that said, and it cannot be said often or loudly enough, The greatest threat to America's national security and our survival as a nation and society, was is and always will be from the anti-American Leftist/Socialist?progrssive movement and its political epicenter in the Democrat Party
They are the ones emptying the prisons, flooding the country with foreign criminals as well as terrorists and doing all they can to keep them here. Let alone committing and fomenting acts of domestic political terrorism against any and all of their perceived enemies.
Ah yes, the party of peace love and understanding! And sanity. . .
A gender-confused man has been arrested on terrorism charges for threatening to murder a church full of Christians in Tennessee last weekend, adding to the lost and ever-growing list of violent, gender-deluded people getting nabbed for wanting to kill innocent people.Thankfully, unlike in other instances, this guy was caught before he managed to actually harm anyone.
WREG reports police were called to St. Louis Catholic Church in Memphis last Sunday by parishioners, who said a man - later identified as 30-year-old Zachary Vizee Liberto - had gotten into a verbal spat with one congregant before vandalizing the church’s baptismal pool. Liberto then allegedly sent an email to one of the church members threatening to cause “mass casualties” and vowing to “butcher people in that church with a machete,” the report adds. . .
. . . According to Andy Ngo on the Post Millennial, "Liberto was seen posing in women's attire and makeup, and writing about 'how good it feels to be a girl' and 'sissy hypnosis,' (a type of [porn] genre that claims to hypnotize male viewers into self-feminization)." Ngo also provided photos Liberto had posted to social media showing him in feminine hairstyles and makeup.
Hmm? Jasmine Crockett in drag?
And. . .
A gentle reminder to my fellow Wisconsinites to get out and vote early, early absentee or whatever for Eric Schimel or on Election Day next Tuesday. Earlier is more better. And often!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
Have a great day.

My washing machine requires wifi and an app to set up custom wash cycles, so... I never use custom wash cycles. I set it to the wash/dry setting (it's a combination washer/dryer) and it does its thing.

A third of all federal judges on the DC district court were born outside the United States.
The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump's authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States.While country of origin doesn't come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration.
The concept of foreign-born judges is a newer phenomenon in this district. In addition to the 15 main judges, the D.C. District has 10 older, senior judges who still occasionally hear cases in the district. This group, nominated as far back as Ronald Reagan the 1980s, were all born in the U.S.
But starting in 2014, former President Barack Obama appointed Judge Tanya Sue Chutkan, born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was in the U.S. by 1979, attending George Washington University. Before sitting on federal court, she had no experience as a judge. Chutkan is overseeing the legal challenge to DOGE's work to slash excess government spending.
Obama also appointed Judge Amit P. Mehta to the D.C. court. Mehta also had no previous experience as a judge. Mehta was born in Patan, Gujarat, India. He and his parents came to the U.S. when he was a baby, age one. He was raised in Maryland. Mehta will oversee four January 6 civil cases that aim to blame Trump for injuries and squeeze money, court time, and political embarrassment out of him.
The other three foreign born judges were nominated by former President Joe Biden.
What a surprise.
All day long I've dreaded having to even comment on this story because it's so preposterously trivial. Matt Vespa:
So, what the hell is this story now?It's a warning that perhaps more administrative due diligence should be applied when creating these group chats on encrypted and secure messenger apps. Still, while alarming at first, the hubbub is dying down quickly. This story in The Atlantic that secret war plans were disclosed to known anti-Trump fake news writer Jeffrey Goldberg, who was accidentally added to the group, is falling apart faster than a skiff made of paper.
It turns out that serial hoaxer Jeffrey Goldberg, of the "You gotta believe me brah, Trump totally called veterans 'suckers and losers,' I'm telling you brah" hoax, claimed he received "classified information" when some unknown staffer accidentally added his name to a group Signal chat about the Houthis. He said he wouldn't reveal the classified information, but you gotta believe me brah, I totally received it, I just can't say what it was brah, it's so classified that Sacred Honor compels my silence.
Well Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard have told him put up or shut up, giving him permission to reveal this supposedly super-classified information that he's telling us is so classified he can't talk about it. And he's not revealing what it was, because it was nothing, and he's another fucking liar at Steve Jobs' AWFL wife's vanity magazine The Atlantic.
I don't even understand what I'm supposed to be so upset by: If everything the liar Jeffrey Goldberg said was true, which it isn't because all he does is lie on behalf of the neocon sect of the Democrat Party establishment, then what happened was that someone accidentally added him to a group chat he shouldn't have been added to and he saw some exchanges between some top Trump officials.
So someone did an oopsie with a fat finger, and -- what? Trump should resign? Fire Tulsi Gabbard? Fire Pete Hegseth?
Why?
It gets worse when you consider Sean Davis' claim that it was Jeffrey Goldberg's friend, who works for Trump negotiator Michael Waltz, who was responsible for accidentally adding Goldberg. Goldberg ignores that and just asserts, insanely, that Pete Hegseth should resign for a very minor glitch committed by, Sean Davis alleges, Goldberg's fucking pal.
Kurt Schlichter
@KurtSchlichterThe Signal chat thing is a gut check for alleged cons.
Nothing significant was revealed. Worst case, it was a mistake that will never happen again. More likely, a proven liar has now lied about at least some of it.
And yet, so many people are delighted to have the opportunity to freak out about something that Trump administration did. It's bizarre how they play along with leftist narratives. The answer to your enemies is to give them nothing. Nothing.
You're not being principled. You're not demonstrating integrity. You're showing weakness.
Never ever ever give them the head of one of your allies.
Understand that your enemies never get anything except pain and mockery. There's no such thing as even handedness. Either win or you lose. I choose winning. You do you.
This is just another hysterical meltdown by the pill-popping anxiety-ridden neurotics of the liberal non-thinking class looking for a new Russia Russia Russia fake scandal to scream about while collecting clickbait money from their degenerate mentally-ill readers/victims.
I don't even think this rates this response. This is sub-nothing.
Hey, lefty pill-poppers and impotent alcoholics and closet-cases: Go fuck yourselves to death.
Here, let me propose what the left always proposes when the bureaucracy commits actual crimes: We mustn't fire anyone, we must reform the procedures!!!
Australian universities are so dependent on US welfare that they've called for a crisis meeting in the wake of Trump's cuts to USAID.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has faced calls to respond after the Trump administration cut funding to seven Australian universities.The administration's move came after US agencies asked Australian researchers to justify why they should continue receiving American research grants.
The surveys they received asked several questions including whether the researchers had received funding from China, and if their university had recognised only two sexes - male and female.
The institutions which have had their funding cut are the Australian National University, Monash University, University of Technology Sydney, University of NSW, Charles Darwin University, Macquarie University and UNSW.
Australian Academy of Science chief executive Anna-Maria Arabia told the Australian Financial Review the federal government had to be quicker to respond to the cuts rather than choosing to "wait and see".
"It is incumbent on the prime minister to call an emergency meeting of the National Science and Technology Council, which he chairs, compelling all ministers to the table to share intel and comprehensively assess the extent of Australia's exposure to a reduction in US R&D investment across portfolios," Ms Arabia said.
"The consequences of inaction are profound with consequences for every Australian's way of life," she said.
Let me get this off my chest: It is in fact racist that we continue to pump trillions in US taxpayer dollars to these relatively well-off white layabouts in Europe and Australia, and I demand an END to this racist welfare regime.
Cut them all off. Make these sexually-twisted white (for the moment) perpetual adolescents pay their own way for the first time in their lives.
I can't believe this, but the race hustler fired from MSNBC, Tiffany Cross, went on CNN to attack Trump for deporting violent criminals while, get this, playing the race card. It's almost as if -- as if -- she's an extremely stupid robot whose one trick is blaming The White Man.

Hunter Biden's Business Partner: Joe Biden Came In to Close Deals for Hunter Biden, Telling His Foreign Gangster "Business Partners" "If You Do a Favor for My Son, You're a Friend for Life"
—Ace
You're not going to believe this, but the Biden DOJ prosecuted this guy -- but not Hunter or James Biden or Ashley Biden or Joe Biden -- for corruption.
President Trump on Tuesday pardoned former first son Hunter Biden's business partner Devon Archer, who was convicted of swindling an American Indian tribe -- saying he was treated "very unfairly."Archer became a key informant for House Republicans investigating then-President Joe Biden's role in his family's foreign business dealings and provided significant information incriminating the elder Biden, fueling an impeachment inquiry into alleged corruption.
"I think he was treated very unfairly," Trump said before signing the pardon at the White House."And I looked at the record, studied the record, and he was a victim of a crime, as far as I'm concerned. So we're going to undo that."
Trump added: "Congratulations, Devon!!"
Archer, a father of three, told The Post he was grateful to Trump and his family for sticking by him -- and also to Tony Bobulinski, another former Biden family associate who came forward to corroborate information about different foreign dealings allegedly involving Joe Biden.
"I want to extend my deepest thanks to President Trump. I am grateful to the president for recognizing that I was the victim of a convoluted lawfare effort intended to destroy and silence me," Archer said.
"Like so many people, my life was devastated by the Biden family's selfish disregard for the truth and for the peace of mind and happiness of others. The Bidens talk about justice, but they don't mean it."
Weird how they decided to go after the guy blowing the whistle on the Biden Crime Family rather than the Biden Crime Family itself.

RFKJr. Rumored to Be on Verge of Blocking Big Pharma From Advertising on Television
—Ace
@amuse @amuseMAHA: RFK Jr. is moving to ban Big Pharma advertising on TV, a direct strike at the lifeblood of networks like CNN, MSNBC, & CNBC, where Big Pharma bankrolls the programming generating 75% of ad revenue. The US is 1 of 2 countries that still allow them.
I don't really care about this issue, to be honest.
But here's what I do care about:
1, Big Pharma does not advertise on television to influence consumers, who cannot of course just buy the medications themselves. (It can tell consumers to suggest the drug to a doctor, but there are other ways to market to doctors, and of course Big Pharma does that too.)
Big Pharma advertises on television to influence the media, because the media would die without their trillions in advertising dolars.
The Vigilant Fox @VigilantFoxWhy are there so many pharma ads on TV?
HINT: It's not to sell drugs.
A TV news president admitted to RFK Jr. that any host allowing him to speak negatively about Big Pharma on air would be FIRED because "this is where our advertisers are."
Jaws dropped when former pharma insider @CalleyMeans
told Tucker Carlson on his show, "The news ad spending from pharma is a public relations lobbying tactic, essentially to BUY OFF the news... The media plays referee because they're funded by so on all levels."There are only two countries that allow pharma ads on TV: one is the United States, and the other is New Zealand. And those pharma ads make up a BIG chunk of money.
RFK Jr. was told by a network executive that "during non-election years, during some months, up to 70% of his news division revenues are coming from pharma."
During the 1950s and 1960s, when evidence about the dangers of smoking began to emerge, news organizations hesitated to expose Big Tobacco because they depended on the industry for its ad revenue.
Now, the same conflict exists today with the pharmaceutical industry and TV news. This is why the mainstream media is in full-blown PANIC over RFK Jr.'s HHS appointment. They know that once he gets in, he is going to END pharma ads on TV. And that's going to be a devastating blow to their wallets.
Liz Wheeler says that the media will literally go bankrupt if Big Pharma is banned from advertising. They're on life support as it is.
Liz Wheeler @Liz_WheelerIf reports are true--and I pray they are--that RFK Jr. is gonna ban Big Pharma ads on TV, a massive society earthquake is about to happen on two fronts.
#1: The corporate media will fail. You will watch before your very eyes as highly paid MSM anchors are fired, networks panic & some shut down, and paychecks aren't paid. The entire business of MSM is a fake business. It's artificially propped up by massive ad dollars from Pharma ads. Not because of the return on investment that Pharma sees peddling their drugs on TV, but rather because of WHY Pharma buys so many TV ads in the first place, which is to prevent reporting on Pharma corruption.
#2: Accordingly, when the gravy chain of Pharma ad dollars to TV networks stops, we will suddenly see reporting on the corruption of Big Pharma, drugs, vaccines, medical associations like AAP & AMA, and govt regulation agencies like CDC & FDA--reporting that was previously prohibited because the ad money Pharma paid networks was really just a pay off for silence. Pharma knew they didn't sell drugs off those commercials, it was a money laundering scheme to keep reporters silent about the abuses coming out of Pharma. Even Roger Ailes once admitted he didn't let his people on Fox report negatively on Pharma because it would destroy their bottom line.
If reports are true--and I pray they are--that RFK Jr. is gonna ban Pharma ads on TV, the double revolution of Big Pharma & MSM is about to begin.
Can't wait.
