Iran claims they hit 3 U.S .warships, Trump says U.S. warships crushed the Iranian attack in the Strait of Hormuz

Iranian state-linked fake media reported Thursday that Iranian forces exchanged fire with “the enemy” [aka Big Satan] near Qeshm Island, a strategically critical island in the Strait of Hormuz that sits as a checkpoint at the mouth of the strait and plays a major role in Iran's ability to disrupt global shipping, as explosions and damage were reported in the area. 

According to Iran’s regime-run Fars News Agency, parts of the commercial zone at Bahman Port on Qeshm Island were struck during the exchange of fire between Iranian armed forces and what the outlet described only as “the enemy.”

Other Iranian fake media outlets claimed the explosions may have been caused by hostile action originating from the United Arab Emirates, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency. 

Despite a ceasefire remaining in place on paper, Iran launched multiple missile and drone attacks against the United Arab Emirates this week, targeting commercial shipping, oil infrastructure, and Emirati territory.

Meanwhile, in real life, President Trump said three U.S. Navy destroyers successfully transited out of the Strait of Hormuz while under attack from Iranian powderpuff forces, claiming American ships suffered no damage while Iranian attackers were “completely destroyed.”

“Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire,” Trump wrote.

According to Trump, Iranian forces launched missiles, drones, and small boat attacks against the destroyers, but U.S. forces intercepted the incoming threats and destroyed the attacking vessels like they were insignificant annoyances at a picnic.

“Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air,” the most effective and tremendous U.S. president said. He added that many Iranian boats were sent to the bottom of the sea, and described them as replacements for Iran's "fully decapitated Navy."

"These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently," he wrote.

The president also warned Iran against further escalation, saying the regime would face significantly stronger military action if it does not agree to a deal with the United States.

"They’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!" Trump said.

Trump added that the destroyers would now return to enforcing the U.S. naval blockade, which he described as a "Wall of Steel."

“A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country,” Trump said. “They are led by LUNATICS.”

Trump further warned that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, arguing the regime would use one if given the opportunity, and anyone with a functioning cortex knows this is true.

Trump will be suing the Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp. and its CEO, Rupert Murdoch

Well, folks, the media’s at it again, slinging mud at President Trump with a story so absurd it sounds like it was cooked up in a tabloid’s basement, or maybe the Babylon Bee. 

On Thursday, Trump dropped a bombshell, revealing that he and his Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, got a heads-up from none other than Rupert Murdoch about a forthcoming Wall Street Journal hit piece. The claim was that Trump allegedly drew a picture of a woman’s breasts and signed it with a birthday note to the late, not so great, disgraced Jeffrey Epstein. 

Yes, that Jeffrey Epstein.

The alleged note, according to the report, read: "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." Sounds like something out of a bad spy novel, not a Trump letter, and not something stupid enough that a person of his standing would put in writing.

Trump and Leavitt didn’t mince words. They went straight to WSJ editor Emma Tucker and called the letter what it is: “a FAKE.” Trump himself was crystal clear when The Journal came sniffing around. "I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women," he said, adding, "It’s not my language. It’s not my words." Hard to argue with that, because nobody on this planet can really picture Trump sitting down with a sketchpad and a birthday card for Epstein.

But, in true legacy media fashion, The Wall Street Journal ran the story anyway, facts be damned. 

Trump wasn’t having it. He took to Truth Social, firing off a post that pulled no punches and announced he’s gearing up to sue The WSJ, NewsCorp, and Murdoch himself. "President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal," he wrote. "It has truly turned out to be a ‘Disgusting and Filthy Rag’ and, writing defamatory lies like this, shows their desperation to remain relevant."

Go Donny, Go!

And he didn’t stop there. Trump pointed out the obvious: if there was even a shred of truth to this so-called "Epstein Hoax," the usual suspects: Comey, Brennan, "Crooked Hillary," and the rest of the Radical Left Lunatics would’ve been waving it around years ago. "It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for ‘TRUMP’ to have won three Elections," he added. "This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!"

And there you have it, folks. Another day, another media smear campaign. The WSJ, once a titan of journalism, seems more interested in peddling fiction than reporting facts and is best used for wrapping dead fish. 

Trump’s not backing down, and if his track record is any indication, The Journal might want to lawyer up.

Reuters screwed up: accidentally outed fake Gaza "famine" claims

The Reuters "special investigation" published this week looked into how the world tries to prevent famine, but it ended up revealing more than just the problems with the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system.

While the article tried to show that the IPC isn't to blame for not stopping hunger, it accidentally pointed out big flaws in how we measure famines, especially in Gaza.

The piece talked about different famines around the world, including one supposedly in Gaza, where the IPC had warned of an "imminent famine" in the north. That famine never actually happened, and HonestReporting had already shown how the IPC backed off from their initial warning.

Reuters suggests that this wrong prediction wasn't because of bad data or overblown statements but rather because of Israel. They blame "Israeli bombing and restrictions on movement" for making it hard to gather info on malnutrition and deaths not caused by violence, but they leave out some important details.

For instance, Israel has allowed nearly half a million aid trucks into Gaza since the war began, which Reuters doesn't mention. Also, there's no talk about how Hamas has been known to steal and hoard aid.

Actually, the term "Hamas" only shows up twice in the entire 4,000-word article, and both times it's just in photo captions about the "Israel-Hamas war."

🧵 @Reuters’ “special investigation” accidentally exposes more than it intended about the so-called famine in Gaza. Spoiler: There isn’t one. https://t.co/NmFd7oHVBd

— HonestReporting (@HonestReporting)

Reuters acknowledges that the IPC’s data collection in Gaza is flawed, as the organization cannot use its “preferred methods” for assessing malnutrition, allegedly due to Israel’s destruction of hospitals and clinics. This apparently includes the obliteration of all of Gaza’s scales and height boards — tools it says are critical for measuring famine.

They never mention that Hamas turned hospitals into command centers and weapons storage depots.

Humanitarian groups have reportedly trained health workers to measure children's upper arms, and this is the data used to claim there's a famine.

However, the IPC won't say who trained these workers or even who the workers are, claiming they "could be targeted by Israel."

Yes, Reuters genuinely suggests that the IDF might hunt down health workers just for reporting a famine. If this sounds like a conspiracy, that's because it is.

A more believable reason for all this secrecy might be that naming names could show that these "health workers" are also Hamas operatives.

What's even more confusing is that, despite these supposed safety worries, the IPC didn't work with Israeli officials — which they've done with other governments in similar situations. Reuters tries to explain this by saying the IPC thought Israel didn't want aid to reach the starving Palestinians.

The reality? Half a million aid trucks have made it into Gaza — even while Hamas keeps Israeli civilians as hostages.

This is the story Reuters doesn't want to tell. Instead, they go out of their way to explain why Gaza's "imminent famine" is always just about to happen but never actually does.

Harris wasn't Biden's first choice for border czar: she was his 2nd choice

"Hi, I'm Kamala Harris and I'm useless, hahahahaha"

Vice President Kamala "Speaks Through Three Holes" Harris, while campaigning to become the first female [whatever that is] not exactly Black President of the United States, is disavowing her role as border czar bestowed on her by our so called President Joseph Biden.

The media has gone berserk over this label because they know that she was an absolute useless border czar and the claims made by these meatballs are verifiably false as MRC shows in a melange of media reporting over time.

PolitiFact wrote, "Claims that President Joe Biden named Harris the ‘border czar’ and that she is responsible for overseeing U.S. border enforcement gained prominence at the Republican National Convention as the party sought to link her to his immigration policy. Biden didn’t put Harris in charge of overseeing border security.”

Really?

Axios wrote, “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title – which she never actually had.”

“Kamala Harris Was Never Biden’s ‘Border Czar,’” TIME Magazine claimed. 

A USA Today "fact check" headline said, "Harris' border work was on 'root causes' of migration; she wasn't in charge." Axios wrote, “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title – which she never actually had.”

Although Harris was not officially given the title "border czar"--because it's too Russian-sounding--many lefty Russophiles in the media used that label to describe Harris' assigned border role. Biden tasked her specifically with addressing the root causes of migration from Central America and working with the countries in the region, emphasizing diplomatic efforts to manage and reduce the flow of migrants heading to the U.S.-Mexico border. 

Her mandate was broader than just border enforcement; it was about tackling systemic issues in those countries to create lasting solutions, which she failed at miserably.

Harris was not Biden's first border czar; she was the second woman chosen as border czar by the alleged president.

After only 100 days as border czar, Roberta Jacobson, President Joe Biden’s first border czar, left the role on April 9, 2021, after already “grappling with large increases of migrants attempting to cross into the U.S.,” Even The Los Angeles Times reported, saying, “Biden’s border czar … is stepping down.”

Yes, even the comrades at the LA Times referred to the position as border czar.

However, before Jacobson stepped down, Biden announced at a March 24, 2021 news conference that Kamala Hahaharris would be responsible for addressing the southwest border surge that already began within days of him taking office. “I can think of nobody who's better qualified to do this than the former” California attorney general, Biden mumbled.

Harris was chosen to lead the effort as border czar because “the best thing to do is to put someone [in the role] when he or she speaks they don't have to wonder about where the president is,” Biden read carefully. “When she speaks, she speaks for me. She doesn’t have to check with me. She knows what she's doing. I hope we can move this along [to address the] increasing challenges at our southwest border. No one knows this better than the vice president.”

In that inimitable way she has, Harris said both through her mouth and nostrils,  “There's no question that this is a challenging situation. While we are clear that people should not come to the border now, we also understand that we will enforce the law. Because we can chew gum and walk at the same time, we must address the root causes that cause people to make the trek.” She also looked forward to working with Congress “to address root causes of migration. Needless to say, the work will not be easy, but it is important work.”

Just a normal Tuesday at the border: thanks Kamala

It was so challenging that she couldn't find her way to the porous border if the fairies dropped breadcrumbs along the way.

Multiple news outlets gleefully reported on the announcement, including The Washington Post, The Hill, the Associated Press, Axios, Politico, Reuters, The Huffington Post,  NBC News and even Fox News, to name the biggies.

The social media site X fact checked Axios' recent claim using one of its own articles, stating, “On April 14, 2021, Axios' Shawna Chen confirmed Kamala Harris had been appointed Biden's ‘Border Czar.’ 

If that isn't clear enough, Chen wrote: "Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar, said she would be looking at the ‘root causes’ that drive migration."

Since Harris was tapped as border czar, The Center Square has published 69 news stories covering the border crisis as it relates to the border czar. House Republicans this week filed two articles of impeachment against Harris, one over her role in addressing the border crisis. The other article against her might be her level of confused verbiage--she may not be demented like someone we know, but her word salads should come with a dressing.

But seriously, Harris has not event made an attempt to do her assigned job.

Biden’s March 24, 2021, announcement was made after members of Congress toured a federal detention facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas, where 700 unaccompanied minors were being held. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, (D-Laredo), posted images of them sleeping on concrete floors in response to media outlets being denied access by the Biden administration. The left tried to blame this situation on Trump, but it's hard to argue with visual proof.

Earlier that month, Cuellar warned, “We are weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border. Inaction is simply not an option. Our country is currently unprepared to handle a surge in migrants.”

Harris was not only unprepared to handle a surge, it was apparent that she welcomed it, as did alleged President Joseph Biden. The border was a sieve of illegal aliens flooding into the country where now the left wants to give these non-citizens not only taxpayer benefits, but the right to vote in US elections!

Harris never visited the facility or Cuellar’s district. Since then, more than 12 million foreign nationals have illegally entered the country under Harris the Border Czar. She only visited a port of entry in El Paso on June 25, 2021, which is 800 miles away from the real crisis in the Rio Grande Valley.

On March 31, 2021, Abbott sent his first letter to Harris, stating, "Now that President Biden has named you Border Czar in charge of the administration’s response, I want to express to you the threats and challenges caused by this administration’s open border policies. These policies embolden and enrich cartels, smugglers, and human traffickers who continue to ramp up their criminal operations. Given your new role as the administration’s Border Czar, I urge you to visit the border to see the crisis for yourself, and … to take swift action to secure the border, crack down on human trafficking, and prevent more children from being trafficked and abused."

As calls grew for Harris to visit the border and respond to the crisis, by an April 20, 2022, press briefing White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked, “Does the president still have confidence” in Harris as border czar. She replied by confirming Harris' role as border czar, “He absolutely does.”

Abbott maintains, "‘Border Czar’ Harris has NOT done her job to secure the border. Innocent Americans have lost their lives, law enforcement has been assaulted, and fentanyl has killed thousands.” He’s also called on Americans to vote for Trump to secure the border.

I say vote for Trump to secure peace and prosperity for the country. Harris will not bring us peace--she will bring us far-left policies and show the world her weakness.

BULLETIN: Fake report from Iran says IDF spokesperson and "mass resignation" goes viral

IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari in Tel Aviv media briefing Oct. 16, 2023

Iran is as believable as the claim that a certain female Vice President is a brilliant orator. 

IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari and his unit are unperturbed by the balderdash being spewed by Iran's Ministry of Bull Crap stating that several high ranking Israeli officials have announced their retirement from the IDF in spite of the war in Gaza. The reports were made on Israel's right-wing Channel 14 and was immediately reported on Iranian media.

[H/T Jerusalem Post.]

Channel 14’s Tamir Morag reported on Sunday night that several high-ranking officials in the IDF spokesperson’s unit announced their resignations around the same time amid the war.

Among them was “number two in the IDF spokesperson’s unit, Col. Shlomit Muller-Butbul,” who, according to the report, “is in the resignation process.”

“She was supposed to leave the week that the war broke out, but then, because the war broke out, she stayed a little,” an IDF source told The Jerusalem Post.

The Channel 14 report also claimed that “Moran Katz, a civilian employee of the IDF in the spokesperson’s unit at the colonel rank, quit after things didn’t work out ‘professionally and personally.’”

In reality, according to the source close to the matter, “Moran completed her contractual obligations and did not extend [her contract.]” This after over four years in her position.

Col. Tzofiya Moshkovitz was also reported as having resigned – but that's completely false.

“Tzofiya isn’t leaving at all,” the source said. “She didn’t agree to resign and is far from resigning. There is no one replacing her, and she isn’t replacing anyone. This is an outright lie.”

The report also claimed that IDF spokesperson to foreign media Col. Richard Hecht is resigning – this is true. However, the report claimed that he resigned after someone was positioned to “oversee him,” which was never the case.

Col. Merav Granot Stoller, also reported as having resigned, has simply “reached retirement age,” the source explained. "Even that wasn’t agreed upon; she simply reached the relevant age."

"Because we know the truth, we aren't phased by this report, truly," the source concluded.

Morag, the author of the report, claimed, in a post on X clarifying the report, that the media "avoids dealing with these issues because they eat out of the IDF spokesperson’s unit’s hands and depend on it."

This is completely untrue: the Israeli media uses plates and utensils to eat.

“The dependence of military reporters on the IDF spokesperson’s unit is a unique and very unhealthy phenomenon that does not exist in other fields of coverage,” Morag claimed.

The false report went viral on different media sources and social media and even I was initially taken in but decided to do a check of the story.

Despite being false, the report has been shared vigorously on posts throughout social media sources, including Reddit, Threads, X, and Facebook.

The report has also been posted on London-based Arab media source Middle East Eye, which has over 1.6 million followers on Instagram, as well as Turkish news website TRT World, which has 2.1 million followers. [Brain Flushings . . . not so much.]

Predictably, after the fake news hit social media, the game of "Telephone" went into effect and people began altering the actual story claiming the resignations had to do with the war in Gaza.

Some have also falsely reported, such as Al Jazeera, as they so often do, that IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari himself has resigned from his position. The Al Jazeera rag since retracted their statement after tens of thousands had read it and never got to read the retraction, as is usually the case.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is still apparently alive, much to the dismay of the Democratic Party.

Megyn Kelly gives back to NY Times: "grow up . . . do your job'

You don't mess with Megyn Kelly, the Chuck Norris of podcast media, if you can't take the return fire.

Kelly shot back at The New York Times after they accused her of spreading misinformation about the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy "Hands-a-Blur" Pelosi.

The paper ran an article on Saturday where they listed “elected officials and candidates” along with “prominent figures” who had, in their words, “spread misinformation or cast doubt on the attack.” One of those on the list was Kelly. The former newspaper said that she “[R]aised doubts that all facts were being disclosed.”

Kelly returned fire on Monday, tweeting: 

The NYT lists me as a spreader of misinfo re the P Pelosi attack bc I “raised doubts that all facts were being disclosed.”
It’s called JOURNALISM. SFPD clearly has more to disclose but if u ask for it, you’re a “misinfo” spreader like @Miguelnbc. Grow up, NYT & DO YOUR JOB.

Speaking on her podcast on Oct. 31, Kelly said, “We are learning more about who the intruder was, but many questions remain about the circumstances of the crime, which police have been fairly tight-lipped about and actually contradictory as well.” 

In fact, NBC lost the story completely. 

She condemned the media, saying they were “rushing to make this about right-wing political violence, and not just that, not just right-wing political violence, this is about January 6, don’t you know? This is about January 6, like everything needs to be for the Democrats today; not homelessness, not crime, not mental illness, January 6; back to that. They will use it for all it’s worth and then some.”

Kelly’s assertion that the media was trying to turn the attack on Pelosi into another instance connected to January 6 was further confirmed in the article which claimed she was spreading misinformation. The article stated:

The flood of falsehoods showed how ingrained misinformation has become inside the G.O.P., where the reflexive response of the rank and file — and even a few prominent figures — to anything that might cast a negative light on the right is to deflect with more fictional claims, creating a vicious cycle that muddies facts, shifts blame and minimizes violence. It happened after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, which was inspired by Mr. Trump’s lie of a stolen election, and in turn gave rise to more falsehoods …

“The press has gone deep, dark down the rabbit hole about trying to say, ‘This is all about January 6’ because the lunatic’s latest iteration of craziness was focused on some QAnon theories, things along those lines, notwithstanding his BLM flag and his LGBTQ flag out in front of it,” Kelly noted, referring to Pelosi’s alleged attacker.

The election is tomorrow, Nov. 8, and the Democrats have no platform to stand on other than personal attacks, Jan. 6, and "Trump is a bad man so vote for me."

Settlement in lawsuits regarding FBI posing as AP reporter

This is what gave it away in the newsroom

It's one thing when Superman poses as Clark Kent, a mild mannered reporter for the Daily Planet, but it's another thing when an FBI agent poses as a reporter for the Associated Press. But that's exactly what an FBI agent did and the bureau was sued over it.

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press [obviously a Democrat-run organization] will receive a $145,000 settlement after two lawsuits were filed following an FBI agent posing as a reporter for the AP and even created a fake news story. 

That wasn't the agent's responsibility, that lies with the real reporters in the legacy media.

These Freedom of Information Act cases (FOIA) led to appeals court decisions that will increase access to public records, according to Adam Marshall, a lawyer for the group. The two cases also exposes FBI agents posing as members of the media, which further undermines media credibility and blurs the line between the press and law enforcement. It's bad enough the lines are blurred between the press and the Democratic Party, but this is going too far.

The FBI failed to follow its own rules over such undercover operations when an agent posed as an AP reporter and sent a link to a fake story in an investigation in Washington state in 2007, according to documents uncovered in the lawsuit filed along with the AP

Then-FBI Director and idos of all scumbags James "Lordy" Comey called the technique “proper and appropriate” under FBI guidelines at the time. But he said that it would require higher-level approvals once the incident was uncovered in 2014. Comey said that no actual fake news story was published and the ploy led to an arrest. [Not his, but maybe later.]

The agent posing as an AP reporter sent a link to the fake article to a 15-year-old suspected of making bomb threats at a high school. When the teen clicked the link, a tracking tool revealed his computer’s location and helped agents confirm his identity.

The FBI declined to comment Friday, as is their wont.

James Comey today

Kathleen Carroll, then-Executive Editor of the AP, said in 2014 that the FBI’s “unacceptable tactics undermine AP and the vital distinction between the government and the press.” A letter signed by two dozen news organizations called the revelations “inexcusable” and the Reporter’s Committee specifically called out the use of the AP’s name as “cover for delivery of electronic surveillance software.”

Still James Comey continued to roam free and was never put on trial.

Lauren Easton, an Associated Press spokeswoman, declined additional comment Friday, which is very uncharacteristic of her as she likes to talk, or "spokes," as it were.

The lawsuits were filed as part of an effort to get records about FBI news-media impersonations, and eventually resulted in important court decisions about how far agencies must go in searching for requested documents and the standards they must meet in order to withhold documents, Marshall said. The settlement will cover attorney’s fees and costs and the money will come out of the pockets of taxpayers, as usual.

“This has shown that there are significant, concerning and ongoing issues with respect to federal law enforcement impersonation of the press in the United States,” Marshall said. The cases have also “shown that the Reporters Committee and The Associated Press were committed to finding out as much as we could about what happened here for the public to know.”

The Independent deletes hit piece on Ron DeSantis and Clarence Thomas after story debunked

Once a story is out there in the public it's rare that those who read it will also read the retraction when the story is proven false. This is likely the case with The Independent.

The mainstream outlet had to delete an article Friday that falsely claimed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R, of course) met with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (Conservative, of course) the day prior to SCOTUS overturning Roe v. Wade.

The article by leftist Eric Garcia read:

“A series of emails show Mr Thomas’s assistant corresponding with Diane Moulton on Mr DeSantis’s staff about setting up a lunch with Mr Thomas and four of his clerks. Ultimately, they decided to dine at the Supreme Court in the the Natalie Rehnquist Dining Room. On 24 June, the day after the luncheon, the court handed down its decision for Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the 1973 decision which enshrined the right to seek an abortion.”

However, Garcia did not bother to check the dates on the emails, which showed the back-and-forth exchanges occurred in 2021, not this year. 

Checking relevant dates and facts is a process known as journalism.

DeSantis Deputy Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern called Garcia out on Twitter: 

Hey @EricMGarcia from the @Independent,

Is June 23th, 2021 a day before June 24th, 2022? pic.twitter.com/VuvwsljSSD

— Jeremy Redfern (@JeremyRedfernFL)

Garcia, with his tail between his legs responded.

“I am legitimately so sorry. I was not trying to mislead. I am legitimately embarrassed and humiliated. I never wanted to do anything malicious. I am so apologetic. I should have double-checked the dates.”

He went on: “We are taking the article down. I cannot apologize enough. I should have double-checked triple-checked dates. I am mortified and legitimately embarrassed. I want to thank @JeremyRedfernFL for flagging. And apologize to Governor DeSantis and Justice Thomas. This is a horrible error on my part.”

“The story is in the process of being retracted. I am just embarrassed as hell,” he concluded. “Words cannot describe how mortified I am. I try to be honest in my work. I don’t try to do gotcha journalism. I always hated that. I can never apologize enough.”

DeSantis campaign Rapid Response Director Christina Pushaw responded to Garcia’s report by writing: “And the implication is that Governor DeSantis, of all people, would try to pressure Clarence Thomas to change the outcome of a SCOTUS decision.”

“Which is patently absurd to anyone who has followed Governor DeSantis or Clarence Thomas for any amount of time,” she added.

WOW! Feds paid companies to silence Trump, et al, on social media near 2020 election

Former President Donald J. Trump

Holy crap, Batman, what in G-d's name is going on?

Two reports published on  Friday and Saturday by Just the News, reveal the US federal government was responsible for the censorship of 20 news outlets during the 2020 election. Shades of China!

Our own government has been working with four private companies to flag make-believe election "misinformation" in order to censor it on social media platforms.

After Biden woke up and found himself in the White House, Just the News reported, the group of four was “rewarded” with millions of taxpayer dollars, and its misinformation by elimination continues today.

The bulk of the targeted groups were right of center, of course, and the outlets include Just the News, the New York Post, The Washington Times, The Washington Examiner, and the Epoch Times.

The group ironically calls itself the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP). It's typical leftist labeling to make it sound palatable when in reality it is the opposite of what it calls itself, you know, like Planned Parenthood. The only plan they have is to eliminate all traces of parenthood at the expense of an unborn child.

Current President Joseph Robinette Biden finger-sucking

Anyway, these scumwafers put a list together of "repeat spreaders" of election misinformation of 2020. [The definition of "misinformation" in this case is anything that runs counter to your ideology.] The list included President Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump as well as other high-profile right-leaning people on social media.

The four members of the EIP group are the Stanford Internet Observatory, the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab and Graphika, which deals in social media analytics.

In the EIP report of June 15, 2021, the group describes itself as an "information exchange" between entities such as "election officials, government agencies, civil society organizations, social media platforms, the media, and the research community." So they see themselves as the voice of truth and the final word in the political arena. Anyone disagreeing with them is spreading "misinformation" and even "disinformation." Shades of Pravda.

Specifically, the EIP identified what it saw as misinformation related to the 2020 election and processed “tickets” — created by the EIP and its partners — to flag that misinformation for the group’s social media and government partners.

These tickets were later used to asked Big Tech platforms to censor media outlets and “repeat spreaders,” including Trump and his family.

These butt-munchers could be coming after you next.

Finally, Just the News reported that 35 percent of content flagged by the EIP was removed, throttled or otherwise censored on social media. This should be of great concern to everyone who respects freedom of speech.

CNN Viewers Spot Color Editing on Hitlerian Biden Background During Speech

The Compromised News Network couldn't hide the veins bulging in his neck nor the vehemence of his words, but they could fiddle with the color in the hideous blood red background of Biden's speech to make it appear to be the softer and more gentler side of the Fourth Reich.

Anyone who tuned in at 8:00 p.m. when President Biden delivered the pile of bile his words said of half the nation, saw the disturbing image of what appeared to be a satanic image of a mush-mouthed madman. But if you were watching CNN, the dark blood red was subtly softened in the hope of making his attacks on those people who disagreed with Biden's ideology, seem less threatening and less offensive 

CNN's broadcast wasted no time adjusting the tone of the lighting--it was like a technological Blitzkrieg. Others, who had taken 24 minutes from their lives and watched Biden's speech on MSNBC, may have expected him to announce that France and Poland have fallen and that he plans to have the troops march on to England.

Contrasting images before and after the apparent lighting change appear to demonstrate a change in CNN's broadcast tone settings.

I wasn’t sure, so I capped the screen at the beginning and at the end. Here’s the comparison.
Also, its worth noting that the foreground is the same (so someone didn’t mess with this in post) and the flag changes color (so its not the two lights changing color).

Watch on the link below the moment CNN slowly adjusts the camera settings when the blood-red lighting behind Dark Brandon is looking "sehr diktatorisch."

By the end, the stripes on the American flag are pinkish-purple. https://t.co/IuYGZRbpGZ pic.twitter.com/RgzKrVEEcB

The red coloration of stripes on the American flag appeared to shift to a lighter, more purple tone.

Some on the Left loved the speech

The lighting even drew comparisons to the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany — two brutal dictatorships that made use of red colors in state imagery.

Everytime (sic) I think Biden and crew can’t be dumber they outdo themselves. Seriously who gives a speech warning people about how dangerous Republicans are to Democracy while having a background that looks like the Soviet Union and Hitler had a baby? pic.twitter.com/sukqTswI3C

If you speed up the video of the speech on YouTube, the color change is seen even more clearly.

CNN hasn’t responded to the claims it changed the coloration of its broadcast of the speech but Brian Stelter now says that he's glad he is no longer working for such a fake news network.

Aug. 21, 2022 RIP Reliable Sources

Sunday, August 21, 2022 was Brian Stelter's last day on the Compromised News Network, aka CNN. His show, Reliable Sources is gone and Stelter is now unemployed, but if he plays his cards right, he might just find a spot with the ladies of  The View.

To his credit, in all of his time at CNN, starting in 2013, he never was accused of having an inappropriate sexual encounter, not with a man nor a woman, and not even with himself, as his colleague, Jeffrey Toobin had done on a Zoom call.

His words were powerful and clearly annunciated, and also quite humorous:

 "I believe America needs CNN to be strong, I believe the free world needs CNN to be strong, and it will continue to be because all of us are going to help make that happen. The free world needs a reliable source. So, for ‘Reliable Sources,’ for the last time, I'm Brian Stelter, thanks for being with us." 

America needs CNN like a blowfish needs a cigarette. His show, Reliable Sources, was an oxymoron. His so-called 'sources' were often anonymous and anything but reliable. Stelter was an extremely far-left potato whose journalistic integrity was nonexistent.

During his last show, he thanked his wife, who presumably is female, and several others involved in the progressive programming behind the scenes. He also thanked his former boss and CNN president, Jeff Zucker, who, like Toobin and Chris Cuomo, had to leave CNN due to sexual improprieties.  He even thanked the guy who fired is wide angle butt, Chris Licht.

"Thank you to Jeff Zucker for believing in me, for having the back of this organization for so many years, for having my back through everything, even through the death threats," Stelter said without mentioning Zucker's inappropriate sexual behavior to certain staff.

He added that while it "might sound weird," Stelter thanked Licht for "letting us say goodbye." And he blew Licht a kiss off camera, my reliable sources tell me.

At the outset of the show, Stelter mentioned that Licht was making big changes to CNN and that he was sad that he would not be around to cover it. He was joined by Carl Bernstein who said that Stelter's exit from the network was "bigger than Watergate," and that Brian would be sorely missed, adding, "We won't have Trump to kick around anymore."

"That is the watch word here. Accountability," Stelter jokingly said. "We need to have room for media criticism and debate and discussion, and we will. So much of the media ecosystem in 2022 is garbage, but so much of it is spectacular. The hard part is sorting out the treasure from the trash. These are thorny complicated things. I know I never had all the answers. I didn’t even always have all the questions. But it was the gift of a lifetime to get to confront these issues on international division with the backing of CNN."

Stelter's final words were that the media "is the people," but much like his reliable sources, he was lying to the people. As far as he is concerned, the media is for leftist ideology and the leftist messages they want the people to hear.

USA TODAY "reporter" resigns after bagged for writing fiction 23 times

USA TODAY deleted 23 of its articles from its site after they discovered that one of their so-called reporters, Gabriela Miranda, had used make-believe sources, much like Brian Stelter's "Reliable Sources."

“After receiving an external correction request, USA TODAY audited the reporting work of Gabriela Miranda. The audit revealed that some individuals quoted were not affiliated with the organizations claimed and appeared to be fabricated. The existence of other individuals quoted could not be independently verified. In addition, some stories included quotes that should have been credited to others” USA Today wrote in an editor’s note published on its site last Thursday afternoon.

“As a result, USA TODAY removed 23 articles from its website and other platforms for not meeting our editorial standards.” The note added that “Miranda has resigned as a reporter for USA TODAY and the USA TODAY Network.”

The part that USA TODAY left out was that they took measures to deceive investigators looking into her sources. They concocted fake interviews and make-believe evidence, as per one source.

Among the bull crap of stories or sources was an article she wrote about the Texas abortion law and Georgia redistricting as well as others. She could be the answer to the fertilizer shortage if she stayed with the publication.

Miranda had previously covered education and the Hispanic community with The Gainesville Times before moving to USA TODAY, according to her website. 

She allegedly graduated from the University of Georgia in 2021, and Brain Flushings is currently investigating the veracity of this claim.

FOX's Peter Doocy makes WH Press Sec'y look like her dog ate her homework

The new WH press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre [henceforth will be referred to as KJP] has taken the helm from Jen Psaki and already, the ship of fools is taking water. 

Jean-Pierre is coming to the podium unprepared, like a child who tells the teacher that his dog ate his homework when he doesn't actually have a dog.

But on a positive note, KJP is black, an immigrant, and a lesbian, which gives her high marks on her victimhood status, so we conservatives have no right to criticize her. However, she seems to need no help showing how inexperienced she is for the job as White House press secretary after she was asked a question by FOX News' Peter Doocy, an actual reporter who asks tough questions.

Doocy asked about President Biden's tweet saying that to fight inflation, people who make more money than Joe Biden, need to pay their "fair share," which are two issues that have nothing to do with each other.

KJP had no clue what Doocy was talking about and had to go read her notes that also had nothing to do with the question.

There was no excuse for KJP to be unprepared for this question because the White House knows about this tweet and even put out  a statement attacking Jeff Bezos over it after Bezos pointed out how stupid it was. 

The WH has been using Twitter to spread disinformation. Bezos has been calling them out on it. It's been all over the internet. [H/T Louder with Crowder]

Somehow KJP tried to convince anyone that raising taxes will lower the cost of gas and food and went on to list things unrelated to either.

"We encourage those who have done very well, especially those who care about climate change, to support a fairer tax code."

And there we have yet another WTF moment from the bowels of the White House. Climate change?

American families don't care a fiddler's fart about climate change when it comes to feeding their infants, their families and the price of gas. Inflation and the economy are at the very top of the list that Americans care about.

Only elitists who often have a financial interest in climate change and other leftist issues care about things like identity, Critical Race Theory, and taxing the rich even more. [See Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Rev. Al Sharpton and the legacy media for more on this.]

The Left think by conflating taxes and climate change the public will be too stupid to notice.

But when the new press secretary cannot even address an elementary question because she is obviously unprepared to do the job, you have to believe the country is in decline. At least Psaki was prepared to tell better lies.

LGBTQ poster 'L', Lori Lightfoot calls for violent insurrection

She wears her mask for reasons other than COVID

The Mayor of Chicago, Lori "Beetlejuice" Lightfoot has made a "call to arms" to challenge and "fight" conservative Supreme Court Justices for the possibility of ending the poorly conceived Roe v. Wade. And while the Left says that words matter, it seems that they fail to follow their own ideology when it comes to themselves.

There is a very specific meaning of the words "a call to arms." It's a call for the use of weapons and the LGBTQ Lightfoot is calling for people to use weapons to enact a political outcome that she and Democrats want. Of course, she will deny that she was calling for violence, so don't believe your ears nor the media that supports the Left.

The Supreme Court is an unelected body of Justices appointed for life, therefore they are supposed to be politically impartial and rule on law as it is written in the Constitution. They can't be voted out of office and to remove a sitting Justice, would require a two-thirds vote. So the only way Lightfoot could get the results she wants is through violence. How else would she be able to get her way?

She should be removed from office, but that is not going to happen because she isn't Sarah Palin, who put targets on a congressional map to strategize her campaign. This isn't former President Donald Trump because he used the word "fight" in his 2020 campaign.

The media will protect Mayor Beetlejuice and, if they could, would put her on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

On Monday evening, supporters of infanticide protested outside of Justice Alito's home. That is a federal crime but a Biden administration DOJ isn't going to do anything about it and the mainstream media is going to paint it in a positive light.

Biden's affirmative action press secretary claimed Trump and GA Gov. Kemp 'stole' elections

Alleged President Joe Biden's new affirmative action White House press secretary has a history of making wild accusations that have no concrete evidence, much less proof, of their veracity.

Karine Jean-Pierre, a black lesbian woman whose hat-trick victim class was the primary reason she got the position [my evidence is that Biden clearly spoke about putting 'black women' in positions in his administration] had previously claimed the 2016 presidential election was "stolen" from Hillary Clinton and Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp "stole" the 2018 gubernatorial election from Stacey Abrams [in spite of his crushing 50,000 plus majority of votes.

"Stolen emails, stolen drone, stolen election .....welcome to the world of #unpresidented Trump," Jean-Pierre tweeted after Trump kicked Clinton's butt after she referred to Republicans as "deplorables." She sucked as a candidate and hopefully will run in Biden's place in 2024. 

Abrams, the former Georgia House Democratic leader, alleged that Kemp, who oversaw the election in his role as secretary of state, engaged in voter suppression, even though she has admitted she has "no empirical evidence" to prove it and is merely speaking from her butt.

Jean-Pierre will be the first black and openly lesbian person to regularly lead the daily press briefings and is expected to do as good a job as Psaki who psucked and will continue to do so in her new role.

NY Times ed board claims some states would ban interracial marriage

The birdcage liner known as The New York Times' editorial board came up with the imbecilic idea that somehow the potential end to the Roe v. Wade decision would morph into states criminalizing interracial marriage. The braintrusts said that some states "probably wouldn't" permit such a union between two people. 

I better tell my Indian wife that it's over and we have to put the kids back inside.

"Imagine that every state were free to choose whether to allow Black people and white people to marry," the racists on the board wrote [capitalizing 'Black' but using lower case for 'white']. "Some states would permit such marriages; others probably wouldn’t. The laws would be a mishmash, and interracial couples would suffer, legally consigned to second-class status depending on where they lived."

What part of their anus did they pull that idea out of?

The board noted the 1967 ruling by the SCOTUS that said banning interracial marriage was a violation of the 14th amendment. The piece also said that Alabama did not remove the law from their books until 2000.

The authors argued that the Supreme Court "exists to protect those rights when state and local authorities refuse to," referring to the leaked Supreme Court opinion from Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which seemed to signal the court was getting ready to overturn Roe v. Wade. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion was first published by Politico on May 2.

The authors are wrong: the Supreme Court exists to interpret the laws as they are written. They do not answer to social pressure and, as previously stated, protesting at the homes  of SCOTUS justices is illegal.

The board conflated the idea that leaving matters like interracial marriage or abortion to the states means that "millions of Americans will be denied their fundamental rights."

The draft opinion simply said that "it is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives." The Roe v. Wade decision was unconstitutional in the first place.

Nate Hochman, an ISI fellow at the National Review, responded to the editorial board's piece on Twitter:

"I'm sorry but which state in America would actually opt to ban interracial marriage in the Year Of Our Lord 2022."

AGHamilton29 responded to Hochman's tweet saying that the assertion was "insane," and that it was a "direct result of NYT pretending the people they disagree with politically are racist. A link to a Gallup poll from 2021 was provided and found 94% of Americans approved of interracial marriage, compared to just 4% of people that supported a ban in 1958.

"NYT editorial on Roe v. Wade begins by falsely claiming states today would ban interracial marriage," D.C. Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy wrote. "A desperate slippery slope argument & a ridiculous comparison, because marrying the person you love & killing an innocent unborn child are hardly similar."

Trump proves Piers Morgan is the epitome of fake news

Piers Morgan is coming to Fox Nation now that Chris Wallace apparently has retired, at least for now, from the news business since CNN+ quickly went bust. While Morgan isn't going directly to Fox News, and has been on some of their programming such as The Five and Gutfeld! he just might end up there in the future, but that remains to be seen.

Morgan published a promotional video on Wednesday using part of a recorded interview he did with former President Donald Trump. The interview appeared to show Trump storming out of the interview and that's the way Morgan played it.

However, that wasn't exactly what happened.

Trump released audio revealing that Morgan was being deceptive to his audience because the video was edited and set to air next Monday for his new show "Piers Morgan Uncensored." That's almost the same thing as "unedited" but the video was indeed crafted to make it appear that Trump left in a huff.

This "most explosive" video of the year, as it was called, was a stitched together series of various cuts from the interview that made Trump look unhinged he Morgan challenged his claims about the 2020 election.

"Morgan versus Trump," the narrator says, as the video shows Trump standing up from his chair and telling producers to "turn the camera off" while huffing, "Very dishonest." The montage included close-ups of Trump's sweaty face and dramatic background music because that's what's happening in today's news business.     

The video predictably went viral because it seemed to confirm the media's caricature of Trump.

What Morgan and the production crew didn't count on was that they weren't the only ones recording the interview. As it turned out, Trump's team did a recording of the whole interview, and it definitely paints a very different picture of what really took place.
.

According to NBC News, the interview ended on a cordial, friendly not, and Trump actually said, "That was a great interview," as per Trump himself agreed. Morgan responded, "Thank you very much. I really appreciate it." 

After Morgan made that concluding remark did Trump say, "Turn the camera off."

When Trump made the remark that Morgan was being "very dishonest," it had to do with the fact that he was initially told the interview would only last 20 minutes, and this is what Trump agreed to. But it lasted over an hour and this was what the remark referred to, not the election or anything else.

President Trump released a statement late Wednesday blasting Morgan.

"Piers Morgan, like the rest of the Fake News Media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview with me. He wanted to make it look like I walked out on the interview when my time limit of 20 minutes went over by an hour," Trump said.

The former president added, "[Morgan] went out of his way to deceptively edit an interview and got caught."

Morgan refused to admit he lied to Trump and to the public. He responded to Trump's statement on Thursday morning and totally ignored the fact that he deceptively edited the video.

The butt muncher doubled down: "Morning, Mr President! It was a great interview, thanks for all your time. Sorry you got so annoyed that I don’t believe the 2020 election was rigged or stolen from you, but as I said, where’s your proof? If you have it, show us — or accept the result and move on," Morgan said.

I will no longer take Piers Morgan seriously [never did before, so why start now] and will not watch his Fox Nation show. I think Fox made a huge mistake going into a contract with him.

Autopsy confirms police cam video: Patrick Lyoya shot while resisting arrest and trying to grab cop's weapon

Body Cam Footage

DETROIT -- The Associated Press reported that an independent autopsy confirms what was shown of a police body cam video: Patrick Lyoya was shot in the head.

The video also shows how Lyoya refused to obey the command of the officer, and eventually got into a physical scuffle with the cop and tried to take his taser from him. They wrestled to the ground as the officer continually asked him to let go of the weapon, which he did not and was shot by the officer's handgun.

The AP would have you believe the cop used excessive force and made it clear in the first sentence of their article that Lyoya was a black man [in capital letters and white officer [in lower case letters]. How they know that Lyoya was a man is beyond me--they're reporters, not biologists.

The final autopsy has not yet been released to the public, but there isn't much to guess at when you see the video. 

Lyoya, 26, was stopped on April 4th, when the plate on the vehicle he was driving didn't match the vehicle.  He refused to remain in the car when told. then he and the officer engaged in a struggle. Lyoya wasn't armed at the time of the stop but attempted to arm himself with the cop's taser, which clearly is cause for the officer to shoot him. The AP, however, didn't mention this factoid.

“This independent autopsy report confirms what we all witnessed in the horrifying video footage: Unarmed Patrick Lyoya was conscious until the bullet entered his head, instantly ending what could have been a long and fruitful life,” race hustler, cum attorney Ben Crump said.

The autopsy was performed by Dr. Werner Spitz. Crump said Lyoya could have lived until his early 80s if he hadn't resisted arrest and gone for the cop's weapon.

His family is angry and so too are others who saw the video and have never been involved in law enforcement nor faced a similar life and death situation, and therefore cannot understand why the police officer had to use his gun.

The officer's name has not been released due to avoid race-baiting violence, destruction and looting from BLM and Antifa.

State police will give their findings to the Kent County prosecutor for consideration of any charges, which, if any are leveled, would be a miscarriage of justice.
