Disgraced CBS News Is Intent On Keeping a Known Jeffrey Epstein Associate On Its News Team

Posted by on February 16, 2026 at 1:46 pm. NO Comments :

One of the core missions of Donald Trump in his second occupation of the White House has been the total subjugation of the free press. He has assaulted it with retributive prosecutions, meritless lawsuits, and always infantile insults aimed at honest journalists (mostly women) who had the audacity to report the truth about him.

Donald Trump on CBS News (See BS)

Sadly, Trump has had some success in that brazenly fascist undertaking due to the cowardice and/or complicity of some the big media conglomerates who feared Trump’s retribution or who were feebly seeking favor from the corrupt and self-serving Trump regime. Their subservience has been evident in their groveling concessions to settle ludicrous legal disputes by paying millions of dollars in phony damages – aka bribes. And none has more obviously knelt down to Herr Trump than the toadies at Paramount.

Now CBS has embarked on a new and more insidious scandal involving a sleazy “doctor,” Peter Attia, with known ties to child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that he admits. CBS is owned by Paramount, which in turn is owned by Trump’s buddy and fellow billionaire, Larry Ellison. His corporate monolith is now seeking, via a hostile stock bid, to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, which owns, among other things, CNN. Trump has already given his blessing to that proposed merger, despite the fact that Warner has accepted an offer from Netflix. Perhaps that’s because Ellison promised to make changes that Trump wants.

Shortly after Ellison merged his company with Skydance Media, owned by his son, David, they installed the notoriously right-wing blogger, Bari Weiss, to run CBS News, even though she had zero experience or qualifications to assume that position. Her brief tenure has already seen her make some abhorrent decisions, including censoring CBS’ 60 Minutes by nixing a segment on the El Salvador torture camp that Trump has been sending migrants to.

A few weeks ago Weiss announced that she was going to hire a bunch of MAGA-tized cronies from her Internet website to join CBS News. Among them was the disreputable “doctor” Attia. But that announcement was quickly marred by a revelation that ought to have doomed his appointment. According to The Guardian…

“Two weeks after a trove of files revealed extensive – and inappropriate – communications between Jeffrey Epstein and a recently named CBS News contributor, the longevity expert Peter Attia, the network appears to have settled on keeping him. […] Attia is one of the 19 on-air contributors that editor-in-chief Bari Weiss said she was ‘so excited’ to announce.” […]

“[O]n 30 January, the justice department’s release of millions of documents showed that Attia had expressed a fondness for Epstein and used extremely graphic language in at least one email to him. That Attia had met with Epstein was previously known before CBS News hired him.”

Attia’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 1,800 times. His emails to Epstein express his unsettling affection for him, as well as his creepy concern that he “can’t tell a soul” about their unsavory friendship. He also recalls that he felt “spoiled after staying in your great place.” And yet, Attia defended the relationship saying that “I was not involved in any criminal activity.” Nevertheless, he went on to say that “I apologize and regret putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public.”

Notice that Attia is defending what he just called indefensible. And it appears that the only problem he has with any of it is that it became public. How Weiss and the Ellisons can continue to justify the hiring of this slimeball is incomprehensible. But it is consistent with the immorality that is the hallmark of the Era of Trump and the aversion to ethics that Trump represents and for which he is the role model of indecency. So Attia will fit right in.

UPDATE: Attia has quietly resigned from CBS News following the pressure from a broad array of bipartisan critics. Keep up the pressure on the MAGA media and all things Trump. IT WORKS!

UPDATE: Trump Hasn’t Updated His Much Ballyhooed White House Media Bias Web Page in Months

Posted by on February 15, 2026 at 2:16 pm. NO Comments :

Nothing has been a bigger priority for Donald Trump during his occupation of the White House than denigrating the free press and taking aggressive actions to suppress it. He relentlessly insults any journalist with the courage to report the truth about him (especially women), and he works tirelessly to promote the Trump-fluffing media that adoringly exalts him no matter how humiliating or dangerous his actions are.

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

Late last year Trump directed his White House Internet team to create and post a web page that he said would expose the bias in the media. Of course, in Trump’s mind that meant only what he considered to be bias. Consequently, Trump’s media bias web page focused solely on news organizations that accurately documented his words and deeds, which invariably reflected negatively on him.

SEE THIS: The Trump White House Website Now Has a Page to Attack Media that Tells the Truth About Him

At the time that Trump’s media bias page was launched, it featured as it’s first target an article about the six members of Congress who appeared in a video wherein they reminded those in the military of their sworn duty to not comply with illegal orders. That resulted in the Trump regime seeking to prosecute them for sedition, with Trump saying that their alleged crime was “punishable by death.”

Trump’s efforts to assassinate sitting members of Congress for advocating following the law were recently foiled by a grand jury that rejected the attempt to indict them. But that has not deterred the Trump regime from it’s campaign to revoke the First Amendment. Now they are going after independent journalist, Don Lemon.

Meanwhile, Trump’s media bias web page moved on from the “illegal orders” story to one wherein they caught a gaffe by CNN’s Jake Tapper. He prematurely reported on December 4th that a suspect in the Washington, D.C. pipe bomb case was White. When more details became available, Tapper corrected the story. However, the White House media bias web page has not been updated since then.

So Trump’s media bias web page has been dormant for over two months. Never mind the fanfare with which they announced it. It now appears to have been abandoned. Which is typical of the Trump regime’s notoriety for incompetence. The web site seems to share with Trump a profoundly short attention span.

No American president has had as hostile an attitude toward the media as Trump. He routinely refers to the press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He displays his rancid animus toward honest journalism in his knee-jerk and meritless lawsuits and his infantile insults. His vicious attacks on reporters as “creeps,” “stupid,” and “ugly,” are the price paid for daring to report honestly. The problem is that it’s also the sign of an emerging autocracy.

Donald Trump has launched a "Media Bias" web page on the White House website. And guess what?

The good news is that Trump will soon forget all about whatever imagined offense he is fixated on at any given time as soon as some other shiny object is waved in front of his face. And while that may be good news for the victims of his demented anger, that sort of dementia is a frighteningly horrible trait in a national leader.

Trump Hypes a New York Post Smear of a Democrat for Doing What Many More Republicans Are Doing

Posted by on February 5, 2026 at 2:44 pm. NO Comments :

The desperation of Donald Trump to manufacture a recovery of his rapidly declining approval is evident in his increasingly ludicrous public remarks and unhinged social media posts. His deranged behavior and brazen dishonesty have always been an integral part of his warped character. But as he sinks ever lower his outbursts are becoming ever more bizarre.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Twitter

Trump’s polling seems to hit a new low every day. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, his current approval rating is a dismal 37%. That’s consistent with other polls, most of which show him struggling to reach 40%. Consequently, Trump and his regime mouthpieces are going to extreme lengths to spin reality into something that doesn’t hurt his tender fee fees.

SEE THIS: Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

On Wednesday night, Trump himself sought to salve his wounded ego by posting a link on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to an article in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post that smeared a Democratic congressman for trading stocks. The article is a month old, but that doesn’t matter when you’re trying to whip up some positive propaganda from thin air. The headline blared that “Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi beats Pelosi’s stock portfolio performance with 35% return.” It began…

“Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025, beating even the She-Wolf of Wall Street, Nancy Pelosi, data obtained by The Post shows.” […] “Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA — up 40% for the year.

The article noted that Suozzi “supports bipartisan legislation…to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.” That’s legislation that many Republicans still are not getting behind. And Trump refuses to support it unless it exempts the executive branch – meaning him. All of the pending legislation is currently stalled in committee or awaiting floor votes that are not scheduled.

Near the bottom of the article, the Post finally noted that a Republican, Tim Moore, made even more money trading stocks (52%) than Suozzi, who ranks down at number five. What’s more, a chart included in the article shows that eight of the top ten congressional stock traders are Republicans. Which is not ever mentioned in the text of the article.

Nancy Pelosi’s 18% isn’t even among the top ten, despite having made it into the headline. Although notable Republicans like Ted Cruz (50%), and Lisa Murkowski (35%), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (33%), and Mitch McConnell (29%) are in the top ten. [Note: The Post doesn’t know what Murkowski looks like. They put a photo of Susan Collins on the Murkowski bar of the chart]

For some reason the Post decided to make this article all about the Democratic representative, and only added the Republicans as an afterthought. Even though the Republicans are far worse offenders as revealed on the Post’s own chart. And Trump latches onto it as a handy piece of anti-Democrat propaganda. Even if it’s a month later when he’s scrounging around for ways to smear his political foes and deflect from his own much more serious misconduct and outright crimes. Epstein files, anyone?

BLLSHT: Fox News Host Accuses Hakeem Jeffries of Calling for Kristi Noem to Be ‘Taken Out’

Posted by on January 29, 2026 at 2:36 pm. NO Comments :

The past two weeks has seen some of the most gruesome conduct perpetrated by the United States government in modern times. Donald Trump is presiding over a criminal enterprise that has invaded Venezuela, threatened Greenland, and murdered American citizens in the streets of their home towns.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Fox News, Bullshit Factory

Many of the MAGA Republicans who bother to discuss these affairs at all, end up trying to blame both sides while calling for the harsh rhetoric to be toned down. Never mind that most of that explosive diarhetoric is coming from the right, and worse, their actions exceed their words. In fact, in the war of words Trump is seeking to muzzle his opponents.

SEE THIS: HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air

On Thursday morning Harris Faulkner, the host of “Outnumbered” on Fox News, was in the midst of a segment wherein they were defending the barbaric tactics employed by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The conversation led to a comment by the House Democratic Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to which Faulkner and her comrades took offense. She complained that…

“Hakeem Jeffries says ‘Kristi Noem needs to be on ICE.’ Now I know that’s ineloquent and unfortunate. It’s also just horrible timing. Because we know that means ‘take somebody out.'”

Harris Faulkner: "Hakeem Jeffries says 'Kristi Noem should be on ICE.' I know that's ineloquent and unfortunate. It's also just horrible timing, because we know that means 'take somebody out.'"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-29T17:22:59.048Z

So Faulkner is reprising the rhetoric argument to criticize what Jeffries said. But she is pitifully misrepresenting the comment in order stir up more hatred and division.

First of all, Jeffries was obviously connecting his criticism of Trump’s desperately unqualified Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, to the horrific record of ICE with a linguistic association to actual ice. Faulkner knows this, but chooses to inflame the situation unnecessarily.

Furthermore, Faulkner is deliberately distorting the meaning of the colloquial phrase to put someone “on ice.” It does not mean to “take somebody out,” or kill them. It means to “put on hold, or to pause, to allow to cool down.” Which is precisely what Jeffries meant, and even what Faulkner claims to be advocating.

This is similar to the right-wing freak out that occurred last year when James Comey posted an image online of some seashells that spelled out “8647.” The MAGA-tists all babbled about it being an assassination threat. But the phrase is just a term that means “to refuse service, or to kick out of a public establishment.”

MORE HERE: Trump and Fox News Crybabies are Blowing Up a Phony Controversy Over James Comey’s 86 47 Meme

Nobody should be surprised at the rank hypocrisy of Fox News, Trump, and others on the right who have been pretending to care about the heated rhetoric. They have been maligning Democrats as traitors for years. And since the penalty for treason is execution, they have been, in effect, calling for them to be killed. Trump did so explicitly when he demanded that several members of Congress be put to death for simply reminding those in the military of their duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders.

All of this only provides further proof that the right is obsessed with killing Democrats and anyone who does not worship Herr Trump. And it’s why they still support how ICE has been killing protesters and brutalizing immigrants. For the rabid right, the celebration of death goes way beyond just words.

Did a Fox News Host Steer Trump to Put Tom Homan in Charge of His ICE Thugs in Minneapolis?

Posted by on January 27, 2026 at 3:07 pm. NO Comments :

The Calamity in Minneapolis orchestrated by Donald Trump and his Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) StormTrumpers has proven to be massive millstone around the neck of Trump and his regime’s top henchmen and women. On an issue that Trump had leaned on heavily throughout his political misadventures, he is now deeply underwater and struggling to find a way to stay afloat.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Recent surveys show that Trump’s approval on immigration is floundering at record lows. According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll “Fifty-three percent of Americans polled disapprove of the president’s immigration policy, while 39% approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.” And no amount of gaslighting or whitewashing has helped to reverse the descent.

SEE THIS: RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

Consequently, Trump has been tenderly trying to walk back the rancid rhetoric that he has been yammering from day one of the horrific events in Minnesota, when he and his cronies smeared Alex Pretti as a “would be assassin” and “domestic terrorist.” He knows that the American people are repulsed by the deaths of peaceful, law abiding citizens, and that his attempts to viciously malign them have failed. But rather than admit any wrongdoing, or holding anyone accountable, Trump is trying to massage his messaging campaign to take the heat off of him without making any actual improvements.

Clearly Trump has no idea what to do. That’s why he has been waffling between blanket defenses of the atrocities he has caused, and pitiful stabs at displaying sympathy. The only marginally substantive reform he has taken is to cast his chief ICE enforcer in Minneapolis, Greg Bovino, into the corn field. But even that idea was not Trump’s. As reported by Brian Stelter of CNN…

“Around 6:15 a.m. on Monday, ‘Fox & Friends’ co-host Brian Kilmeade pitched a solution to President Trump’s growing political problem in Minnesota. ‘What I would do is just bring Tom Homan in,’ he said.

“Kilmeade, a Trump booster who knows the president often watches the morning show, volunteered the idea again at 7:15 and once more at 8:10. Homan, the border czar and a former Fox commentator, would ‘settle things down’ and help Trump, Kilmeade said.

“Maybe Trump was watching, maybe he wasn’t — but either way, he said, ‘I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,’ 20 minutes after Kilmeade suggested it a third time.'”

So it appears that Kilmeade put the bug in Trump’s ear about replacing Bovino with Homan, and he embraced it in the hopes that it might ease the pain of sinking farther into the abyss of public disgust. Never mind that Homan is just as unsavory as Bovino, and he still has a corruption scandal hanging over his head alleging that he took a $50,000 bribe in exchange for delivering government favors.

The public’s view of Trump’s immigration policies has now deteriorated to the point that other Republicans are starting to show some spine by criticizing him. Actually, they are just getting to the point where they are more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. The result is that some – but certainly not all – are speaking out more critically of him than ever before.

Even some conservative media are turning against Trump. For instance, the right-wing National Review editorialized that “[Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem] has repeatedly demonstrated that she is incapable of speaking honestly about events like the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.” Which suggests that Trump’s critics on his own side won’t be satisfied until there are some terminations, indictments, or other form of accountability. And decent American citizens won’t be satisfied until Trump himself is held to account.

RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

Posted by on January 24, 2026 at 1:26 pm. 2 Comments :

“Tin soldiers and Trump is coming…” The only question now is how many more will die because of the callous savagery of Donald Trump and his fascist regime? The death that occurred Saturday morning on a Minneapolis street was entirely predictable and preventable, and was the direct result of a hostile, barbarous cabal of fascist mercenaries.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

This marks the second fatality of an American citizen at the hands of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. And it was no accident. The victim had committed no crime when he was mobbed by ICE agents, brutally pummeled, then shot to death, despite not presenting any kind of a credible threat. His murder was pre-sanctioned by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and its de facto chief in the White House, Trump’s Senior Fascist Advisor, Stephen Miller.

SEE THIS: Stephen Miller Tells Trump’s ICE Thugs that They Have Immunity to Do Whatever the F**k They Want

DHS says that the officers attempted to disarm a suspect, but that the suspect violently resisted. Video of the incident shows that the victim was pinned to the ground by four agents when one of them started shooting. So four agents armed with batons, pepper spray, handcuffs, and other policing paraphernalia, were unable to subdue a single man. There were at least five shots fired while the victim was laying on the ground motionless on his stomach.

This is the same DHS that said that Renee Good, a law abiding citizen and mother, was a domestic terrorist who ran over an ICE agent with her car, which the video shows never happened. Consequently, DHS cannot be believed about this. An independent investigation must be performed. Which could be difficult considering reports that ICE tried to keep local police away from the scene. That could be viewed as an attempt to cover up the facts, and perhaps to have an opportunity to plant false evidence.

Nevertheless, Fox News, before any review of the incident had even begun, drew conclusions siding with the ICE agents saying that “They are simply doing their jobs,” and laying part of the blame for this new atrocity on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The following exchange took place on Fox News shortly after the story broke…

Fox Reporter: If anything is dangerous and unlawful it’s what Tim Walz is doing. And there ought to be consequences. […]
Nicole Parker: They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs. And again, without the details of who this subject is, whether they were someone they were arresting, whether they were a bystander, a protester, frankly when you’re looking at the deadly force policies that’s completely irrelevant. For them they are literally looking at what we’ve gone over and over before. My piece of advice to anyone in Minneapolis, and frankly anywhere in the country, let the law enforcement do their job. If you don’t want to run into any problems stay out of the vicinity of law enforcement.

Fox News is defending feds killing another Minnesotan: "They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-24T17:04:01.826Z

So the first comments by Fox News were to place the blame on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Then their former FBI analyst claims that ICE was just doing their job, even while admitting that she is speaking “without the details.” Maybe she should just shut up until she has them. Then she concludes by advising American citizens to abandon their constitutional rights to dissent, and “let the law enforcement do their job.” Even if they are committing heinous crimes?

Naturally, Trump weighed in on this matter with his customary maliciousness and ignorance. He posted a comment that was exceedingly long and riddled with lies on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying in part that…

“This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off?”

First of all, even if it’s true that the victim had a gun, that is legal and is not evidence of any criminal intent. You would think that a 2nd Amendment fanatic like Trump would respect that. There is no evidence that the victim drew any weapon.

Trump quickly segued to questioning the actions of the local police and political officials. And typically, he did so without any proof of the bad behavior that he was blindly and irresponsibly asserting. But he was just getting started. Some other items in his tedious post included…

“Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account?”
Setting aside the fact that that is absolutely untrue. what does it have to do with any of this? Other than to malign a Black woman in Congress who criticizes Trump.

“We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud.”
Now Trump is claiming that the reason he sent troops to Minneapolis was due to monetary fraud. So why did he send immigration cops rather than treasury? And why is this the first time he has ever mentioned it? And where are the arrests of perpetrators of fraud by his ICE thugs?

“The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection.”
Trump learned a new word: “Insurrection.” So now he using it to describe anyone that criticizes him on any subject. Just like he does with “hoax.” But he can’t provide any proof that Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey incited anything. They have consistently called for calm and peaceful protest.

Trump’s bizarre meandering from one subject to other unrelated subjects is further evidence of his cognitive impairment. He is flailing in the hopes of landing on a topic that his cult followers might lap up. But he is conspicuously failing to exhibit any kind of human emotion as a result of a man dying at the hands of his thugs.

None of this was necessary. None of it would have happened if Trump had not deployed military style troops to terrorize citizens in an otherwise peaceful American city. The victim had broken no laws when he was accosted. Nobody had to die today.

It’s painfully clear that ICE is the instigating factor. And they need to leave Minneapolis immediately, and every other American city, where they are provoking this violence on behalf of aspiring authoritarian Trump. It’s plain as day that he just wants to exploit the chaos that he is creating as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, and/or declare martial law, and realize his dystopian dream of dictatorship. But the American people are not going to let him do it.

Sean Hannity Drools Over Insane Trump Proposal to Give Everyone in Greenland $100,000

Posted by on January 20, 2026 at 1:41 pm. NO Comments :

The Sycophancy Meter for devotees of Donald Trump routinely registers at the highest levels that it is capable of reporting. His cult members are entirely devoid of any measure of shame or self respect when it comes to affirming their unflinching adoration of Dear Leader.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

Consistent with most cults, Trump’s is characterized by his painfully obvious psychological and emotional abnormalities. He is paranoid, petulant, rage-filled, malignant narcissist, with a tenuous grasp on reality. It is a profile that he shares with the likes of Jim Jones. Although a notable difference between Jones and Trump is that Trump would have charged his flock for the Kool Aid. Like Jones, however, Trump demands an unwavering faith in his infallibility, and eternal loyalty.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

In a demonstration of his unreserved reverence for Trump, Sean Hannity of Fox News led a segment on his program with MAGA Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri. The two discussed Trump’s ludicrous intentions to annex Greenland against the will of it’s citizens, with force if necessary, and despite the opposition of America’s allies in the European Union and NATO. In his fawning display of idolization, Hannity gushed that…

“Donald Trump’s forever in a state of negotiation. Everything’s negotiable. A $100,000 offer for every person in Greenland – on average making 60 grand a year – Denmark’s not exactly been generous to them. They don’t have the ability to help them take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland. We do…Seems like a no-brainer to me.”

Indeed. It would require having no brains to give Trump’s proposal even the slightest bit of serious consideration. Hannity’s praise of Trump for his alleged negotiating prowess is just more of the mythology that he is a great dealmaker. Never minds his numerous bankruptcies and multiple civil and criminal judgments for fraud. And don’t bother looking up the real author of his book, “The Art of the Deal.”

Hannity’s contention that for Trump “Everything’s negotiable,” is hardly a compliment. It highlights Trump’s ethical vacancy wherein he would negotiate away his mother’s dentures for a McDonalds Happy Meal for himself, or an award trophy that he didn’t earn. And he would make (and has made) the same awful deals with American principles.

The specific deal that Hannity is referencing involves Trump’s proposal to pay every resident of Greenland $100,000 in exchange for surrendering their sovereignty. Which just proves that Trump can put a price tag on anything, including honor, virtue, and patriotism. And if he would do that to Greenlanders, he would it to Americans.

What’s more, Hannity is exhibiting his own lack of moral character by lauding Trump’s shallowness and greed as virtuous. Hannity is also flaunting his ignorance by asserting that Denmark has not been “generous” to the Greenlanders. Does Hannity think that Trump would allow them to continue to receive free healthcare, education, and extended parental leave and vacation? Would they give up all of those lifetime benefits for a one-time handout?

As for their ability to “take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland,” maybe they don’t crave such materialism the way Trump does. Maybe they prefer the quality of life they have that regularly ranks Denmark as one of the happiest countries on Earth.

Finally, What would America get for the billions it would cost to compensate Greenland? It would just be another expenditure by Trump that only benefits him and his wealthy comrades, but ignores how the American people are struggling. All in all, a truly horrible deal. Which is exactly the kind that Trump specializes in. And neither Greenlanders nor Americans should take him up on it.

Herr Trump Is Trying to Quash the Netflix Deal to Buy Warner Bros as a Favor to His Oligarch Pals

Posted by on January 11, 2026 at 3:34 pm. NO Comments :

The boots of Donald Trump – swollen cankles, bone spurred feet and all – are once again stomping down on matters where they don’t belong. They have already trampled on everything from the Kennedy Center, to the Caribbean shores of Venezuela, to American cities with Democratic leaders that he regards as “the enemy within.”

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

The latest victim of Trump’s tromping is the pending merger of media giants Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) and Netflix. The WBD board has already accepted the bid from Netflix that it deemed superior to the one by the Paramount-Skydance conglomerate. But unsatisfied with not having having his tiny thumb pressed firmly into the pie, Trump is openly lobbying against Netflix. That wouldn’t be because his friends David and Larry Ellison are the owners of Paramount and have promised to make make changes that Trump wants, would it?

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

Setting aside the fact that it is both legally and ethically improper for Trump to interfere with the business affairs of these companies in a free market economy, Trump’s favoritism is transparently biased and aimed at benefitting himself and his wealthy comrades. On Sunday he posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that said simply “Stop the Netflix Cultural Takeover.” The post linked to an article disparaging the pending merger on the ultra right-wing website, One America News Network (OAN), by disgraced attorney John M. Pierce. The article said that…

“Netflix’s bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is not simply another Hollywood deal. It is an attempt to consolidate unprecedented cultural power inside one of America’s most ideologically aggressive corporations — a company that has repeatedly used its global platform to elevate progressive narratives while suppressing dissenting viewpoints.”

That is, to use a technical term, bullshit! There is no evidence that Netflix has any political ideology, much less one that is “aggressive” and is “suppressing dissenting viewpoints.” That’s an opinion that even Trump disagrees with. Trump recently met with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos in the Oval Office and came away saying that Sarandos is “fantastic” and that “I have a lot of respect for him. He is a great person.”

The article’s main argument against the Netflix/WBD merger is that it would would weaken competition. That’s true, But it’s just as true – if not worse – if WBD were to merge with Paramount. The article’s position that WBD accepted the Netflix bid due to some ideological bias is ridiculous. First of all because the Netflix bid is markedly better. Secondly because the real bias would be if the Trump regime forced Netflix to accept the bid from Paramount, whose owners are devoted Trump fluffers. Then the article claimed that…

“Handing this machine control over Warner’s franchises and future output would allow one company to rewrite characters, retell history, redefine social norms, and control which ideas reach audiences. […] It is time to say no to a woke media monopoly before the damage becomes impossible to reverse.”

For the record, Paramount would be the “machine” that could “control which ideas reach audiences.” It already owns Paramount Pictures, Paramount Television, CBS Entertainment, CBS News, Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, TV Land, BET, Country Music Television, and 46 owned-and-operated TV stations across the country. Netflix is primarily a program producer and distributor. It doesn’t own any TV stations or, more importantly and unlike Paramount, any news networks.

Paramount has already demonstrated that it will bend the knee to Trump in its CBS News reporting. They recently censored CBS’ 60 Minutes, nixing a segment on the El Salvador gulag that Trump has been sending migrants to. They hired a right-wing blogger, Bari Weiss, to run their nightly news program with a decidedly more conservative bent. And they also canceled Stephen Colbert’s top rated late night comedy program. Just think what they would do if they acquired CNN, which is currently owned by Warner Bros and would be part of the merger with Paramount, but not with Netflix.

This would be a good time to examine the character of the OAN article’s author, John M. Pierce. He is an disreputable attorney with a long history of supporting Trump. He has been accused of making “threats against Department of Justice personnel.” And in September of 2021 NPR reported that…

“Pierce, a controversial lawyer with pro-Trump politics, has taken on more defendants related to the [January 6th] Capitol breach than any other attorney.”

[And that] “Court records from his divorce show that he has dealt with substance abuse and mental health problems for several years. His ex-wife has previously obtained two domestic violence restraining orders against him.”

That’s the caliber of author recruited by OAN to write this article attacking Netflix. And it’s why the article is so blatantly biased and counterfactual. There are some good reasons to oppose a WBD merger with either Netflix or Paramount. Corporate consolidation often harms both consumers and employees. But in this case the author leans heavily to one side, which invalidates his arguments entirely.

In the final analysis, Paramount would be far worse than Netflix as a partner for Warner Bros. It would cater to the whims of Trump, and deliver more conservative programming in both the entertainment and news divisions. And Trump’s cheerleading for Paramount is further proof of his bias and ignorance of proper conduct as president.

Fox News Senior Misogynist Says Women Are ‘Little Creatures’ Who Shouldn’t Be Taken Seriously

Posted by on January 9, 2026 at 3:17 pm. NO Comments :

The Fox News roster of hosts and correspondents has always been a confederacy of liars and Olympic-grade ignorati. They faithfully carry out the network’s primary mission of pumping up Donald Trump and the Republican Party. And they do it on a daily basis with the emotional maturity of a delinquent seven year old.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Generally the Foxies are pushing ultra conservative propaganda in support of the right-wing’s vile and exclusionary political agenda. But they also disseminate vicious and insulting cultural dogma aimed at maligning Democrats and liberals and anyone they regard as “woke.” And perhaps the worse purveyor of that rancid bullshittery is Jesse Watters.

On Thursday’s episode of Fox’s “The Five.” Watters had something he needed to get off his chest about women. And true to form, it was unflinchingly contemptuous and chock full of hate. He led it off as if it were a criticism of men, saying that…

“Here’s the problem with guys: They take women too seriously. You don’t really listen to these women. They will say things. Just goes in one ear and out the other. We are toxic? Here is a drink, babe. That’s done. They love that. They are beautiful little creatures. We just have to adore them and shower them with love and attention. That is really all they want…You love attention and drinks.”

You have to wonder how the “little creatures” at the table with him – and those watching at home – felt about that description. He believes that women are brain dead wind-up dolls that can be – and should be – manipulated by flattery and alcohol. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone who remembers that Watters slashed the tires of a much younger former coworker to get her take a ride home with him. He later left his wife and children to marry her.

It is particularly offensive for Watters to express these despicable thoughts at time when a couple of profoundly troubling stories are in the news that involve women. There are the files of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that Watters has defended Trump for refusing to release. And there is the ICE agent who murdered a young mother, that Watters believes deserved to be killed, despite the video evidence that she posed no threat.

The views that Watters expressed are consistent with those of many other men at Fox News. Their former president, Roger Ailes, was fired for sexual harassment. So was their biggest star, Bill O’Reilly. Even Trump’s current Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, had an inappropriate relationship with a younger Fox co-worker, which eventually broke up his marriage to his second wife.

It’s fair to say that a pattern is apparent. And that pattern fits the example made by Trump, the Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief. It seems like sexual misconduct is a prerequisite to work for either Trump or Fox News. It would be nice if the women there – particularly those on the same show as Watters – would speak out against that gross behavior. Because he surely doesn’t deserve the platform he’s exploiting to disparage women while he’s spewing partisan political nonsense.

Fox News Hack Jesse Watters Criteria Justifying ICE Killing US Citizens is Insane and Dangerous

Posted by on January 8, 2026 at 12:18 pm. 1 Comments :

In the aftermath of the horrendous murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis, the Trump regime has been spinning furiously to justify the shooting by an ICE officer of a U.S. citizen who posed no threat to him or anyone else.

Jesse Watters, Fox News

The arguments by the Trumpists are wholly removed from the reality that everyone can see for themselves in the videos of the incident. They are asserting that Good is a “radical leftist” who deliberately “ran over” the ICE officer and put him in the hospital. None of which is true. And the the chief dispenser of these gaslighting lies was, of course, Donald Trump himself.

On Wednesday night Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, went all in on support for the regime’s dishonest misrepresentations of what occurred. That’s to be expected from a network that exists only to back up Trump and the Republican Party. However, Fox’s Senior Doofus, Jesse Watters, went farther than many of his lying colleagues. He enumerated what he thinks are the criteria to justify the regime’s police thugs murder of United States citizens…

Jesse Watters: “The woman who lost her life was a self-proclaimed poet from Colorado with pronouns in her bio. A 37-year-old White woman named Renee Good. The Daily Mail says she leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage. She was a disruptor, though she considered herself a legal observer. But there’s no evidence she had a law degree.”

Get it? In order to be executed by the police in Trump’s America, all you need to be is one or more of the following…

  • A poet.
  • A user of pronouns.
  • A lesbian.
  • A single parent.
  • A legal observer.

That criteria, of course, would put millions of Americans at risk for extrajudicial killings. And it doesn’t matter if they had committed any crime. Your death would be instantly validated by the heads of the law enforcement agencies, the Justice Department, the FBI, and even by the president.

The grotesque callousness of that position is hard to comprehend. Watters himself is “guilty” of some of those criteria. He has children from a prior marriage. And he has used pronouns many times.

In recent developments, Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, has announced that the investigation of the shooting will conducted solely by the FBI. She has explicitly forbidden the state from participating. That is highly unusual as these sort of investigations are almost always done jointly. This stinks of the regime plotting out a way to cover up the crimes of the officer, or others at the scene of the crime.

How can anyone take the results of such a probe seriously. It would be coming from the same people who insisted that Haitians in Ohio were eating cats and dogs. They are proven liars and flagrant racists. But this is where we are today as Trump and his cronies try to remake America in their perverse image.
