Corporation for Public Broadcasting Votes to Dissolve amid Defunding Battle

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s (CPB) Board of Directors voted to officially dissolve the organization on Monday. According to a press release, the decision comes in response to moves from the Trump administration and within Congress to pull its federal funding.

Nearly 60 years ago, authorized by the U.S. Congress under the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, CPB’s roots trace back to a time when commercial broadcasting dominated the airwaves, and there was a push for alternatives that prioritized education and public service over profit. Signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Act aimed to create a system free from political interference, emphasizing “strict adherence to objectivity and balance.” Over the years, federal appropriations formed the backbone of CPB’s budget, often exceeding $400 million annually in recent decades, with peaks around $525 million before the cuts — with roughly 70% of funds distributed to local stations.

However, in May 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to terminate federal funding for public media outlets such as CPB on the grounds that its reporting failed to be “fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan.” Only months later, the Senate passed the Rescissions Act of 2025, effectively cutting $9.4 billion in federal funding flowing to CPB and its affiliates. This included $1.1 billion specifically earmarked for public broadcasting through fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This rescission package, which also targeted foreign aid, passed along largely party lines, with Republicans arguing that taxpayer dollars should not subsidize what they (and many others) perceived as ideologically slanted content.

In response, CPB had sued the Trump administration as it began scaling down its operations — and to no avail, it would seem, in light of their final decision announced Monday. The dissolution process, set to conclude by late January 2026, involves “the responsible distribution of all remaining funds in accordance with Congress’s intent” as well as the preservation of archives in partnership with institutions like the University of Maryland and the American Archive of Public Broadcasting.

The organization ultimately pinned the blame on “sustained political attacks that made it impossible for CPB to continue operating as the Public Broadcasting Act intended.” As Patricia Harrison, president and CEO of CPB, put it, “When the Administration and Congress rescinded federal funding, our Board faced a profound responsibility: CPB’s final act would be to protect the integrity of the public media system and the democratic values by dissolving, rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks.”

Echoing this, Chair of CPB’s Board of Directors Ruby Calvert claimed “what has happened to public media is devastating,” adding that “after nearly six decades of innovative, educational public television and radio service, Congress eliminated all funding for CPB, leaving the Board with no way to continue the organization or support the public media system that depends on it.”

Calvert ultimately expressed optimism that “public media will survive, and that a new Congress will address public media’s role in our country because it is critical to our children’s education, our history, culture and democracy to do so.” As Harrison went on to claim, “public media remains essential to a healthy democracy.” The corporation’s statement concluded: “While CPB’s chapter is ending, the mission of public media endures. Local stations, producers, journalists, and educators across the country will continue serving their communities, informing the public, and elevating local voices.”

The news of closure has sparked a variety of responses nationwide. While CPB officials and their supporters are lamenting the loss of what they describe as “trusted news, educational programming, and local storytelling,” many others have taken to celebrating. Conservatives, from government officials to everyday citizens, have argued that the closure does not diminish these values but instead advances them by moving away from what they see as an organization that pushed left-wing, government-funded content. And these sentiments echo long-standing criticisms that date back to Republican officials like former President Ronald Reagan and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who attempted similar defunding efforts but were thwarted by Congress.

Fast forward to now, and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins observed how “this is a very significant development. The end of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting signals that real structural change is underway in Washington.” As he further emphasized, “Kudos to the Trump administration. Its defunding strategy is dismantling decades of the Left’s entrenched infrastructure within government. Too often, Republican administrations merely hit the pause button on the Left’s projects — allowing them to resume the moment power changes hands. The Trump administration, by contrast, is hitting the eject button.”

Several members of Congress echoed these remarks, with Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) stating, “The closure of the [CPB] comes on the heels of a tenure dedicated to censorship and leftist ideologies. The organization garnered our tax dollars and made products through NPR and PBS that lacked competitive viewership and undermined American values and free speech.” Similarly, Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) referred to CBS as “the scheme bureaucrats used to funnel taxpayer money to NPR and PBS,” emphasizing how its closure is “great news for every American who doesn’t want their tax dollars funding left-wing opinion journalism EVER again.”

As public media transitions to reliance on private donations and other revenue streams, some fear a fragmented media landscape. Others, however, view it as an opportunity for more trustworthy news and storytelling, with less government influence, to finally take the stage.

Public Trust in Mainstream Media Falls to New Low

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Nine months into President Donald Trump’s second administration, the American public’s trust in mainstream media has cratered to an all-time record low. According to a Gallup poll published Thursday, a mere 28% of Americans say that they trust mainstream media a “great deal” or a “fair amount” to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly, down from 31% last year. Meanwhile, 36% of Americans say that they have little trust in the media and 34% say that they have no trust in the media at all, totaling 70% who simply do not trust mainstream media outlets.

Age and political affiliation play a role in predicting trust in mainstream media, according to Gallup. Only 8% of Republicans say that they trust mainstream media, the first time that Gallup has recorded single digits in it’s 53 years of studying the question, and 62% of Republicans say that they don’t trust mainstream media at all. Among Independent voters, 27% report trusting mainstream media, 38% say that they have very little trust, and 32% report no trust at all. Democrats are the only political group with a majority (51%) expressing trust in mainstream media. Only 9% of Democrats say that they don’t trust mainstream media at all.

When examined by age, those aged 65 or older have the highest rate of trust in mainstream media at 43%, while only 28% of those aged between 50 and 64 and those aged between 18 and 29 express trust in media. Those aged between 30 and 49 reported the lowest level of trust in media at only 23%. Republicans of all age groups have the lowest rate of trust in mainstream media: 12% among those aged 18 to 29, 6% among those aged 30 to 49, 8% among those aged 50 to 64, and 17% among those aged 65 or older.

Among Independent voters aged 18 to 29, trust in mainstream media stands at 29%, at 24% among Independent voters aged 30 to 49, at 23% among Independent voters aged 50 to 64, and at 42% among Independent voters aged 65 or older. Democrats aged 18 to 29 trust mainstream media at a rate of 38%, at a rate of 42% among Democrats aged 30 to 49, at a rate of 59% among Democrats aged 50 to 64, and at a rate of 69% among Democrats aged 65 or older.

“Confidence in the mass media is historically low, with fewer than three in 10 Americans now placing trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news fully, fairly and accurately,” Gallup senior editor Megan Brenan wrote of the statistics. “With confidence fractured along partisan and generational lines, the challenge for news organizations is not only to deliver fair and accurate reporting but also to regain credibility across an increasingly polarized and skeptical public.”

Tim Graham, an executive editor with the Media Research Center’s (MRC’s) NewsBusters, said in comment to The Washington Stand, “Trust in the media has collapsed because everyone has figured out the media now exist to elect Democrats and destroy Donald Trump.” He continued, “They’ve sought not merely to defeat him politically — they’ve sought to bankrupt him and put him in jail for the rest of his life. Their toxic ardor against Trump has led most people to see them for the partisans they are.”

“Everyone knows the media play on the team of the Democrats, which is why Democrats trust them most. But even there, Democrat numbers are lower, because they’re apparently not pro-Democrat enough, just as many Democrats think their national leaders aren’t doing enough to destroy Trump,” Graham posited. “Part of the decline in trust isn’t just the bias. It’s that the press has undercut the credibility of all the other institutions in society, leading to an overarching cynicism that comes back to bite them,” he observed. “But their arrogance about how they are saving democracy daily clearly suggests cynicism is in order.”

According to a June 26 report from the MRC, mainstream media outlets CNN, MSNBC, and PBS used variations of the label “far right” over 1,200 times between Trump’s inauguration and June 21, compared to only 86 mentions of the “far left.” Additionally, despite days-long riots targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and multiple assassination attempts against Trump the previous year, mainstream media outlets were 5.5 times more likely to associate political violence with the “far right” than the “far left.”

PODCAST: Speaker Johnson Exposes Democrats’ CR Misinformation

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

This morning, at the weekly House Republican Leadership press conference, Speaker Johnson discussed House Republicans’ clean 6-month continuing resolution (CR) and Congressional Democrats’ attempt to force a government shutdown.

“Here’s the bottom line. If Congressional Democrats refuse to support this clean CR, they will be responsible for every troop who misses a paycheck, for every flight delay from reduced staffing at TSA, and for every negative consequence that comes from shutting down the government,” Speaker Johnson said.

On Congressional Democrats spreading misinformation about the CR:

[Democrats] either have an issue with reading comprehension or they are attempting to run one of the most shameful misinformation campaigns that we’ve ever seen in our lives. We filed the continued resolution on Saturday, and as was noted, they had already come out panning the bill that literally had not yet been seen. This is the house Democrat leadership team’s statement on Friday. They said, “Republicans have decided to introduce a partisan continuing resolution that threatens to cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance, and veterans benefits through the end of the year.” Every single word of that is a lie. Every single word, they just made it up. They didn’t read the bill. It’s nonsense. People are not buying this.

They said, “It’s so harmful to the American people. You know, cutting Medicaid, cutting Medicare, threatening social security, cutting veteran benefits.” It’s all a lie. You can all read the bills. 99 pages. This clean CR contains no poison pill riders. No policy riders there at all. No cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. Zero. No cuts to veterans benefit benefits. Zero. In fact, as was noted, we plus up the accounts for veterans. And respectfully, I’m just going to say this to every reporter in the room. If you’re allowing Democrats to make these intentionally false, scurrilous claims without pushback, then you’re aiding and abetting the spreading this misinformation. I would just ask you to call ’em on it. The American people deserve that. They deserve that clarity from our press corps. Make them point it out to you. They can’t, of course.

On House Republicans’ efforts to keep the government open:

You will see one team that is working to fund the government and make sure we do the responsible thing. And you’re going to see another opposing a CR because they’ve now exposed the truth. They’re not for federal workers; they’re not for anyone. All the people they’ve said in the past that are going to be harmed, would be by their votes. They’re using federal employees as props. They’re using Medicaid benefits and social security checks as cudgels. The threat of government shutdown, they’re using as some sort of attempt to wrestle power away from the president of the United States who overwhelmingly won the popular vote, the electoral college in every single swing state.

On Democrats changing their tune on government shutdowns:

And now, after weeks of trotting federal workers up to Capitol Hill and onto cable news shows to protest President Trump’s efforts to make the government more efficient, now they’re planning to vote down this simple bill. They are going to try to shut the government down. Every house Democrat will participate in this it looks like. That would be a shame if it’s true, I hope some of them will have a moment of clarity themselves and do the right thing. But it looks like they’re going to try to shut down the government. It’s a striking new posture for Democrats who have always been apoplectic about the prospect of government shutdowns. This is their own words. You don’t need to trust us on this.

The Media is Hamas

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The massacre hoax and attacks on aid to Gaza expose the media’s true agenda. 

When Israel kills Hamas terrorists, that’s “controversial.” When Israel insists on existing, that’s not only controversial, it’s very nearly provocative, and even when Israel hands out food to its worst enemies who raped and murdered its citizens, and held its children hostage, that’s also… “controversial.”

“Controversial” is the word that the United Nations, the political establishments of multiple countries and the media would like the public to associate with Israel bringing aid into Gaza.

After UN lies about a famine in Gaza no matter how much food came in, Israel and the United States decided to take control of the corrupt UN aid system being used to benefit Hamas.

The media immediately began calling it “controversial.”

What’s controversial about delivering aid to the people the media had told us were starving to death? Two weeks ago, CNN claimed that “1 in 5 people in Gaza face starvation.” (People in Gaza are always “on the edge”, “facing” or “threatened” by starvation, but they never actually starve to death.) Now feeding those same supposed starvation victims is controversial.

But yet here was CNN trying  to get the word “controversial” into every headline about the new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. You might think that only CNN could manage to make Israel feeding hungry people “controversial”, but the AP, whose personnel on the ground have a long ‘controversial’ relationship with Hamas, began its stories by making “controversial” the first word in its headlines lest anyone miss the point that feeding hungry people is very “controversial.”

“Controversial new U.S. and Israel-backed Gaza aid effort gets off to a slow, tumultuous start”, the AP blared. “Controversial US and Israel-backed aid group starts operations in Gaza,” Sky News agitated and there were even fake explainers like, “Here’s what to know about the controversial new aid program in Gaza” from the Washington Post. And what everyone needed to know was that feeding the people that the Post earlier this month claimed “face critical famine risk” (they’re always facing famine, never actually famished) was very deeply “controversial”.

The media’s agenda was very blatant even before it allied with Hamas to fake a massacre.

This time the headlines screamed about a tank massacre. “Israeli troops kill over 30 near U.S. aid site in Gaza,” Washington Post. “Dozens feared killed after Israeli tank fires on crowd waiting for aid in Gaza, witnesses say,” NBC News. “At least 31 Palestinians killed after Israeli forces open fire near Gaza aid distribution center, Palestinian officials say,” CNN.

A BBC report falsely claimed that “Israeli tanks opened fire” and that “the injuries are all gunshot wounds.”  Video released by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation shows nothing of the sort. The “officials” being quoted by the media are Hamas. The tank massacre of civilians was invented by Hamas which gets much of its money from reselling aid delivered by the UN. The media, determined to keep Hamas alive, promoted this lie to sabotage the “controversial” plan to deliver aid directly to those who need it, rather than delivering it to Islamic terrorists to resell to them.

Massacres are more “controversial” than feeding hungry people. The media’s “controversial” headlines had failed to stir up enough controversy. It switched to headlines describing the aid distribution as both “controversial” and in the throes of “chaos.” (“Chaos” is currently a favorite media term for discrediting operations that it opposes” which is why it’s used for Trump.) But when “controversial” and “chaos” weren’t enough, Hamas and the media escalated to a massacre. The massacre never happened, but neither did the famine or the tens of thousands of dead children, and much of the population of the civilized world believes in both.

This is certainly not the first time that the media pushed a fake Hamas massacre. It’s not even the twentieth time. And every time Hamas terrorists built hideouts in UN compounds, schools and hospitals, the media dutifully reported that Israel was bombing schools and hospitals.

The public story of the October 7 war is a tale of the media broadcasting and normalizing fake Hamas casualty numbers to the point that everyone quotes them. What the majority of the public knows about the war comes from the media and what comes from the media is Hamas propaganda. The media was even caught rewriting Hamas press releases, while leaving in telltale lines about “martyrs”, and publishing those as breaking news out of Gaza.

But what is particularly revealing about the collusion in this case is that the media, NGOs and Islamic terrorists appeared to coordinate an information warfare campaign against something completely benign, aid distribution, for no other reason than to help the terrorists. Unlike opposition to the broader war, the media cannot hide its propaganda campaign behind general leftist sentiments against fighting wars rather than specifically supporting Hamas.

The only reason to sabotage U.S. and Israeli aid distribution in Gaza is to help Hamas.

When the media promoted the famine hoax, the excuse might have been that CNN, the AP and assorted other outlets wanted to make sure that food was coming in, but once they took a stance against food coming in, they could no longer hide behind concern about aid.

The media’s positions and agendas are identical to those of Hamas. The attacks on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation show that it’s not about the war or about getting aid in, it’s about a Hamas victory. Anything that does not serve Hamas is immediately attacked as “controversial” even if it’s handing out food to the people that the media told us last week were starving.

Hamas is not fooling the media. It’s not even a case of the media pushing Hamas propaganda because it shares a parallel agenda of ending the war and bringing relief to Arab Muslims in Gaza, as most people think, the media is undermining aid to Gaza in order to help Hamas.

The media doesn’t have a parallel agenda with Hamas. It has a single common agenda.

The only possible takeaway from the media’s disinformation campaign against the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is that what we call the news media wants Hamas to win.

After a year of lies about famine in Gaza, the media took to sabotaging aid distribution because it did not go through Hamas. The media never cared whether anyone in Gaza was hungry. What it wanted (and what the UN and other NGOs wanted as well) was for the aid to finance Hamas.

If the aid was going to people, not to Hamas, then the media didn’t want it entering Gaza.

Why does the media want Hamas to win? Because the  Left has come to be so closely aligned with Hamas that it seeks a victory for the terrorists. It’s not just the campus radicals, whom the media plays defense for, who cheer for Hamas and want to see Israel destroyed. It’s the media.

The media was always biased against Israel, but in 2024, it turned into Hamas war propaganda. The broader realignment of the Left around support, not just for a terrorist ‘Palestinian’ state, but for Hamas, has made the media into the communications arm of an Islamic terrorist group.

When it benefits Hamas, the media claims that Gaza is starving. And, when it benefits Hamas, the media denounces sending aid to Gaza as “controversial.” Then it fakes a massacre.

George Soros-owned radio station doxes undercover ICE agents operating in San Jose, California

By: Katie Daviscourt, The Post Millenial, Jan 30, 2025:

The incident occurred on January 26 when KCBS 740 AM radio host Bret Burkhart described the unmarked vehicles being used by ICE and the exact locations where ICE agents had been operating.

A radio station owned by George Soros reported the live locations of undercover Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in San Jose, California, an area known for violent gang activity. The incident occurred on January 26 when KCBS 740 AM radio host Bret Burkhart described the unmarked vehicles being used by ICE and the exact locations where ICE agents had been operating, according to Newsbusters.

Burkhart was relaying information posted to social media by the Rapid Response Network, a leftist group that fights deportation initiatives. NewsNation confirmed on January 27 that ICE was conducting operations in the area at the time, meaning the host potentially blew the agents’ cover and put them in danger.

“Here’s what’s happening,” Burkhart said. “San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and head councilmember Peter Ortiz confirmed today that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are currently carrying out an operation on the east side of town. The Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network, which is a community defense projecting system for immigrant communities against deportation threats, first reported the activity on its platforms.”

“The county response network said agents in San Jose were in unmarked vehicles, including a black [omitted], a gray [omitted], and a white [omitted]. ICE agents were also reported outside a residence on South [omitted] roads, and officers were reportedly at the target on [omitted],” he continued. “Stay with KCBS, we will be tracking it for you.”

This comes as federal authorities are currently carrying out mass deportation operations across the United States at the direction of President Trump, targeting violent illegal immigrants convicted and/or charged with serious crimes, including murder, child rape, and assault with deadly weapons.

Watch President Donald J. Trump’s ‘Dream On’ Video

/in , , , , , , , /by

America is the best last hope on earth, and diabolical political forces are determined to collapse this last best hope.

It was President Trump who came into office, in my firm belief, place by God much like Cyrus came out of no where to save the Jews; Trump virtually came out of no where to save America. Cyrus was not a Jew, not even religious, but a strong successful leader who knew how to create prosperity, bring order and strength to a nation about to go over the cliff.

Donald Trump was similarly chosen though Trump did have a heart for the Lord. Sometimes annoying with his tweets, not politically correct with his answers, clearly not predictable, except to always place America first and restore the dignity our nation once enjoyed across the globe, President Trump was focused on making America Great Again in a myriad of ways.

You are about to watch a Special Edition Video I have been allowed to premiere and distribute. The producer of the video is Mr. Cameron Moore. He has produced several videos President Trump simply loves, as the one you are about to view. President Trump has become truly acquainted with Cameron, and enjoys seeing him at the restaurant in Mara Largo. I am humbled to have been allowed to distribute this Special Edition video – The Best is yet to Come!

May you enjoy the next several minutes, and then distribute this far and wide.

Thank you!

Ron DeSantis: For the People or for his Donors

/in , , , , , , , /by

PATRIOTS we support President Donald J Trump only! The Tea Party and other groups across Florida are informed.

We know of not ONE grassroots organization who supports Governor DeSantis. His campaign is being run by the Globalist RINO money grubbing consultants.

READ BELOW:

Belle of the Billionaires’ Ball: DeSantis Launch Spurns Grassroots for Donors, Musk, & Murdoch. 5/25/23

By RAHEEM J. KASSAM

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis opted out of a large, grassroots-led announcement for his campaign for the Republican nomination, instead opting to spend the day schmoozing billionaire donors at the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami, before appearing on billionaire Elon Musk’s Twitter, followed by billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s Fox.

His “if you can’t be a billionaire, have them run your campaign” approach appears in stark juxtaposition with former President Donald J. Trump’s campaigning style. Trump prefers to shun the donor class, and host rallies for ordinary Americans across the country. DeSantis clearly intends to shore up his war chest before hitting the real campaign trail, proper. If he does at all.

On Wednesday evening, DeSantis announced his candidacy alongside Twitter owner Elon Musk and David Sacks.

While Musk recently handed over the reins of Twitter to his new Chief Executive Officer, Linda Yaccarino, a long-time World Economic Forum executive, Sacks’s history as a donor to both Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney will likely raise eyebrows about his involvement with Ron DeSantis.

Are the Billionaires Back, Buying Elections?

Another of DeSantis’ major donors is Citadel capital’s hedge-fund billionaire Ken Griffin. Griffin, who has already donated more than $5 million to DeSantis. Griffin “bundled between $50,000 and $100,000″ into Obama’s 2008 campaign and is listed as a $1+ million donor to the Obama Foundation.

Despite being considered a GOP supporter, Griffin has made large political donations to other leading Democrats, including former Senator Chris Dodd, former Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emmanuel, and the current United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry.

Griffin is also unambiguous in his dislike of Donald Trump, calling the former President a “three-time-loser” and insisting the GOP should “move on” from Trump.

Nor is Elon Musk above shelving his principles when investors begin waving dollar bills – or rather Chinese yuan – under his nose. Chinese Communist Party-linked companies and investment funds even helped fund his Twitter takeover in 2022. A year prior, Musk celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party on Weibo, a Chinese alternative to Twitter, by adding a jubilant banner to his profile, complete with the hammer and sickle on a blood red background.

Nor is Musk uncomfortable with the Hollywood elite, appearing at Heidi Klum’s 21st Annual Halloween Party wearing a suit of Satanic leather armor adorned with a “Baphomet skull and inverted cross” shortly after his Twitter purchase.

The suit, sold by Abracadabra NYC for a reported $7,500, was designed by Dale Caldwell, whose other products include breastplates with grinning demons and wristbands decorated with the word ‘Possessed’, picked out in fire with an upside-down cross and devil’s tail, advertised with hashtags such as #thedevilschampion.

Fox & Murdoch.

DeSantis also has a fine line to tread when it comes to traditional media. Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News remains important to him, especially given that its remaining audience is more Paul Ryan/Karl Rove friendly, since the firing of Tucker Carlson.

This will likely appeal to the plethora of Cruz 2016 and Heritage Foundation staffers now surrounding DeSantis in Tallahassee, for the campaign. His ‘Never Back Down’ PAC has frequently posted polling from a firm called “Public Opinion Strategies”, which a National Pulse investigation was able to link with not just Paul Ryan and Karl Rove, but also with a former Soros executive.

POS is part of a wider firm, GP3, run by Soros executive Darrell Lauterbach. One of the top GP3 partners, Phil Cox, “serves on the Board of the Senate Leadership Fund and WinRed, the GOP’s small-dollar fundraising platform,” raising a serious conflict of interest when you consider that Cox is also a “senior advisor” to DeSantis.

Fox News will doubtless turn its guns on Donald Trump over the coming months, itself having to tread a fine line for the decreasing percentage of its audience that still support Donald Trump.

Still, the evidence exists for anyone willing to see it. While Ron DeSantis may himself not be a billionaire oligarch – he sure seems to cozy up to a lot of them.

PATRIOTS back before Trump was running in the primary he took to TWITTER to sound the ALARM on Children’s’ Vaccines. This is just one of his tweets.

Do you Remember when President Trump said many times that “BIG PHARMA IS NOT MY FREIND.” DeSantis is going after Trump on the Vaccines and the Lock Down.
During President Trump’s COVID press conference’s you can hear what he said example” Trump said we will be open by Easter” the press went NUTS! We will send out more on what was said during those times.

PATRIOTS in 2016 President Trump put Robert Kennedy JR to head up a commission on Vaccines. Kennedy was interviewed on True pundit a podcast where he talked about Trump and how he sued him on environmental issues on a building site. They remained friends and how Trump was a skeptic on Vaccines.
Now we have Robert Kennedy Jr taking a page out of Trump’s populist agenda for the American worker. READ THE STORY BELOW!

Roger Stone said in a interview that Robert Kennedy Jr is on Trump’s list for VP . Kennedy was asked about it and said no he would not accept!
We wonder since Kennedy is saying a lot of what Trump is saying on the DEEP STATE!

RFK Jr. Champions Economic Populism: Protect American Workers with Tariffs

JOHN BINDER 5/24/23 24

Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is championing a populist-nationalist approach to the United States economy, vowing to impose tariffs on foreign imports to protect American workers and industries from unfair trade competition.

In a series of Twitter posts, Kennedy detailed the nation’s growing wealth inequalities whereby the very top earners — many of which are billionaires — have seen their share of income grow exponentially while the share of income among working- and middle-class Americans has steadily declined.
The breakdown of unions — in part, as a result of decades-long job-killing free trade policies — has coincided with growing income inequalities, Kennedy noted.

“The top share of income going to the top 10% has increased from 35% in 1945 to more than 45% today. Union membership has declined in the same period from 33% to about 10% — its lowest level since the 1930s,” he wrote on Twitter:

From the end of WWII through the 1980s, income distribution stayed relatively constant. But union membership began declining, and the share of income going to the bottom 90% followed it. Capitalism only functions equitably if workers have the collective bargaining power of unions, so they can claim a fair share of the economic pie. [Emphasis added]

In terms of countering the decline of working- and middle-class income growth, Kennedy said the U.S. ought to impose tariffs on foreign imports to protect its workforce and domestic industries from widespread off-shoring of American jobs at the hands of multinational corporations.

“As President, I will protect American labor AND American industry,” Kennedy wrote on Twitter. “One thing I will consider: tariffs on imports from countries that allow exploitation of workers. American industries should not be forced to offshore to low-wage areas as nations compete with each other to sacrifice wages and working conditions in a ‘race to the bottom.’”

While free trade and trade deficits have eliminated millions of American jobs, devastating working- and middle-class communities, tariffs would likely drive up domestic production, increase wages, and re-shore jobs to the U.S., research has shown.

A recent study from economists at the Coalition for a Prosperous America, for instance, finds that tariffs on nearly all foreign imports would create about ten million American jobs while boosting domestic output.
As Kennedy mentioned, middle-class wealth has dropped to a historic low.

The middle class, as of 2021, includes 77.5 million U.S. households with an annual income of $27,000 to $141,000. In October 2021, Breitbart News reported the top one percent of income earners in the U.S. now hold more wealth than the entire American middle class.

Specifically, the middle class has seen its share of national wealth plummet to just 26.6 percent while the top one percent’s share of wealth has grown to 27 percent — the first time in U.S. history that the top one percent’s share of wealth has outpaced the middle class’s share of wealth.

“The top share of income going to the top 10% has increased from 35% in 1945 to more than 45% today. Union membership has declined in the same period from 33% to about 10% — its lowest level since the 1930s”.

A Trump 2024 victory followed by DeSantis 2028/2032 would give America 12 years of sanity and prosperity with a focus on the middle class. But not if the RINOS have their way.

They have bought DeSantis and once again are on a course to destroy the middle class. It is now up to us to make sure this doesn’t happen.

Are you willing to fight for America?

Boycotts work. Keep it up.

No BUD, no TARGET!

Is America worth saving? Together we can save America.

German Study Provides Direct Evidence Showing People Died From Covid mRNA Vaccination

/in , , , , , , , , /by

German scientists published a peer reviewed study on autopsies of twenty five people who had died suddenly. Reports of otherwise healthy people suddenly collapsing and dying need to be investigated. But the very agencies responsibility for such a task are the least interested. Just the opposite. They don’t want to know. And worse still, they don’t want people to know.

Medical pathologists from Heidelberg University Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany have published direct evidence showing how people found dead after mRNA vaccination died. As this team of six scientists explore in their study, these mRNA-vaccinated patients suffered from heart damage because their hearts were attacked by their own immune cells. This autoimmune attack on their own heart cells then leads to their damaged hearts beating so many times per second that, once the tachycardia unexpectedly started, they died in minutes. (The Epoch Times)

And still the Democrats are pushing this poison – on our children.

Possibly the most important study on COVID shots might explain why COVID never seems to end

By: Daniel Horowitz, Conservative Review, December 30, 2022:

Tolerance is a good thing in most aspects of life. But when it comes to the immune system, artificially juicing up the body to create antibodies with long-term tolerance to a pathogen is a recipe for disaster. Amid thousands of papers on COVID and the vaccines, a new German paper published in Science Immunology should be the headline story this week. Although the subject matter is very dense, the implication of it is that the Pfizer shots (and possibly other mRNA spike protein shots) caused the immune system to misfire, thereby creating an endless feedback loop of viral immune escape, perpetuating the pandemic in the macro, and creating immune suppression for the individuals who received them.

The vexing question of 2022 is why the virus is even still with us to this day. Why is it that so many countries in the Pacific Rim that did so well in 2020 and 2021 now have a bigger problem in 2022 with less virulent strains of COVID? Why does it appear the pandemic will never end and so many people continue to get the virus multiple times? None of this is normal.

Wherever you turn, the most vaccinated countries are not only experiencing rampant side effects from the shots, but worse outcomes from COVID itself following their endless booster campaigns.

But even more telling than an epidemiological comparison of one nation to another is a comparison of outcomes within nations themselves between pre- and post-vaccination/booster campaign. Prior to the mass vaccination, two parts of the world largely escaped excess deaths from the virus: continental Africa and the Pacific Rim nations. Yet whereas Africa flatlined in terms of COVID deaths throughout 2021-2022, countries like Japan only experienced meaningful numbers of deaths after the mass vaccination program.

Here is a chart of the daily COVID deaths per million in Japan, a country that is super vaccinated (and mask-obsessed).

While Americans Can’t Afford To Heat Their Homes, Biden Pays Muslim Country Billions to Dump Coal

/in , , , , , , , , /by

As part of talks led by John Kerry, donors are exploring how solar might replace the coal plants.

While Americans can’t afford gas or to heat their homes, Biden is bragging of a deal to subsidize solar panels in Indonesia.

Americans have too much money. And too much everything. Let’s give it all away.

The United States, Indonesia and other allies signed a $20 billion deal on Tuesday at the Group of 20 (G-20) summit that will help Indonesia reduce its reliance on coal.

The goal of the agreement, called the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), is to help Indonesia reduce emissions and transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

This isn’t a deal.

This is welfare and a bribe to convince a Muslim regime that has massacred Christians and continues to oppress them to switch its energy from reliable coal to worthless wind and solar.

And they’re taking us for every billion they can get.

The G7 and its partners have made multi-billion dollar offers to wean Vietnam, Indonesia and India off coal — but it has yet to convince emerging economies to drop the dirtiest fossil fuel.

The three deals have been under negotiation through much of 2022 and are being modeled on an earlier, $8.5 billion deal to shut down South Africa’s coal industry, dubbed a Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).

It’s hoped that at least two new partnerships might be unveiled during the COP27 U.N. climate talks, which start on November 6 in Egypt. Discussions with Vietnam and Indonesia have advanced to the point where initial cash offers of around $5 billion and $10 billion, respectively…

If you think that’s bad, the Green New Dealers want to get India and eventually China on board. And at that point we’re talking completely nightmarish numbers that would bankrupt everyone.

U.S. President Biden emphasized the importance of this partnership, saying, “Indonesia has shown tremendous leadership and ambition throughout the development of this partnership. The resulting new and accelerated targets demonstrate how countries can dramatically cut emissions and increase renewable energy while advancing a commitment to creating quality jobs and protecting livelihoods and communities.”

While destroying American jobs, livelihoods and communities.

Woman Not Charged for Stabbing Store Clerk Who was Defending Himself Against Her Violent Boyfriend

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Here’s our recent episode of Shout Out Patriots:

​Bodega store clerk charged with murder after defending himself

As Jose Alba, 61, was being violently assaulted by a man in a Harlem bodega, the store clerk grabbed a knife in self-defense and fatally stabbed his attacker.

The confrontation began when a female customer didn’t have sufficient funds on her EBT debit card to purchase a bag of chips for her daughter.

The unidentified mother became angry when he refused to hand over the bag of chips for free. She promised to have her boyfriend, 35-year-old Austin Simon, come “f***” him up, which she did and then Simon did.

After tossing Mr. Alba around in the store, Mr. Simon demanded the store clerk apologize to his girlfriend. Simon then grabbed the clerk by the collar and proceeded to drag him, presumably to force an apology to his girlfriend.

Alba picked up a knife from a counter as he was being manhandled and reportedly stabbed Simon five times, killing him. The girlfriend also got into the fray, pulling a knife from her purse and stabbing Alba four times.

The prosecutor’s office, headed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, charged Alba with second-degree murder and demanded a $500K bond, which a judge reduced to $250k. Unable to afford the hefty bail, the elderly store clerk was escorted to the notorious prison, Rikers Island.

After a public outcry, the judge had a heart and reduced Alba’s bail to $50,000, something he could afford. Mr. Alba was then released from jail.

And what about the unidentified girlfriend who stabbed Alba four times?

She wasn’t charged at all. The prosecutor’s office decided SHE was the once acting in self-defense, not Alba.

Wait! The woman threatens violent harm against the store clerk, brings in her boyfriend to “eff” him up, then stabs him four times, but SHE is the one acting in self-defense?

Rightly did the editorial board of the NY Post write:

“Thanks to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York is a city turned upside down…Jose Alba needs to be free. Alvin Bragg needs to be out of office.”

In this episode of Shout Out Patriots, our team pounces on George Soros and his handpicked prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, for ignoring a fundamental right of all Americans—the right of self-defense for the INNOCENT!

PODCAST: Biden’s real reason for putting his Ministry of Truth committee inside Homeland Security

/in , , , , , , /by

Here’s our recent episode of Shout Out Patriots:

​Ministry of Truth is located INSIDE a law enforcement agency for a reason

After reading the news, do you ever feel like checking your driver’s license to make sure you’re still living in the United States?

That’s exactly how I felt in mid-April when I woke up to this astounding news:

The Department of Homeland Security Has Formed A ‘Disinformation Governance Board’

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis immediately branded this dystopian-sounding board, “The Ministry of Truth.”

Whatever it’s called, we know that it is a federal agency formed to monitor AND correct what Americans read, write or say!

We might expect totalitarian countries to establish such a censorship board.

But when did America become a nation of gag orders with thought-control police ready to slap down non-government sanctioned speech?

I almost fell off my chair when I heard Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas make the highly dubious claim this department will have no power.

Law enforcement never forms a department with no power, and Homeland Security is the most powerful law enforcement agency in the country!

At Shout Out Patriots, we discuss the sinister reason for putting this board inside a law enforcement department:

They want to operate in secret!!!

As you know, law enforcement has special privileges that allow them to keep their activities and research confidential.

They do it all the time. They are famous for telling reporters and citizens that the information they are seeking is protected due to ongoing investigations.

Putting this censorship board INSIDE Homeland Security is not by accident. It’s by design.

Biden wants to keep his research confidential. Label his investigations private. And employ government staffers in complete secrecy.

We may never know what’s going on behind the closed doors of this Disinformation Governance Board!

But hopefully, it will be abolished before we need to know.

‘The president’s Ministry of truth is an un-American abuse of power,” said House Republican leader, Kevin McCarthy.

We couldn’t agree with him more. Now we can only hope and pray he pushes through legislation to to defund it.

God bless!
