mainstream media: we dont understand why "the left" keeps saying trump is a racist

Someone should ask Trump whether he agrees with an advisor using this language and displaying this disrespect towards a member of Congress. www.blackenterprise.com/jasmine-croc...

Kwame Kilpatrick caught 28 years in prison after his conviction on federal bribery and racketeering charges.

Seems wrong to characterize the Kimmel affair, as I’ve seen some people do, as “corporate censorship.” The but-for condition was a direct threat by the FCC chair; that’s state censorship.

The thing about the first time the FBI catches you on camera receiving a $50,000 bribe is it's definitely not the first time you've received a $50,000 bribe.

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

The real tragedy for me is how so many California cities adopted the loser politics of local lords. The extent of their vision and ambition is to be the chief of some collection of nobodies. To them, a city is little more than a fancy nightclub and the fewer in it, the better.

If you haven’t seen this (I hadn’t), you need to:

I “deserve better” than … (*checks post*) death? Er … thanks for the compliment?

Peace, stability, commerce and international cooperation depend on the biggest power supporting the system. We are going to be hurt tremendously by tossing aside our responsibilities. engelsbergideas.com/essays/regim...

“The drone uses an artificial intelligence program, called Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar, or VaDER, to detect small objects — a human being, a rabbit, even a bird in flight. The infrared sensors can identify heat signatures even inside some buildings.”

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

We've gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to "4 deals no one really believes".

Wouldn’t the best way to honor Charlie Kirk’s belief in free speech be to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel?

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

Someone at some point will figure out when exactly this happened… but we have completely normalized psychosis. Trump. Stephen Miller. Speeches that were completely unhinged from reality. Delusional. Psychotically paranoid.

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

Again, let’s contrast this with the rhetoric at Wellstone’s memorial service that prompted days of press caterwauling:

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

Not only does the dictator pardon J6ers... he has pardoned millionaires convicted of fraud so that they don't have to pay back $$$ to their victims.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism."

Post now deleted, more or less confirming it was a DM. Great opsec!

“We’re fine with corruption if comes with terrorizing brown people.” Really sums up the MAGA punditocracy.

Trump just enacted the largest cuts to food assistance in history. Now he's cancelling the government survey that measures hunger in America.

The Biden DOJ had proof that Tom Homan accepted $50,000 in cash while he was a top Trump surrogate, but the dirt didn't leak. Because Biden's DOJ upheld the law. It puts a lie to the GOP claim that if there were anything damaging about Trump in the Epstein files it would have leaked.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

In 2011 a Black Milwaukee County Supervisor was set up and charged with bribery and misconduct in office. He was acquitted, but not before his career was destroyed. The amount at issue was $500.

“Stop the Count”: food-insecurity version. 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

Three people familiar with the federal probe into Charlie Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

Democrats need to seriously consider an impeachment inquiry into now-Judge Emil Bove if/when they take back the House. He led the brazenly corrupt Eric Adams quid pro quo. He facilitated the Tom Homan bribery cover-up. And there’s probably more! He was Trump’s hatchet man at DOJ for months!

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

The FBI had Tom Homan on VIDEO in Sept 2024 taking $50k in bills from undercover ops, indicating “he would facilitate securing contracts for them in exchange for money once he was in office,” then did…nothing? Case now dropped. Carol Leonnig in her new gig has the story www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

Every statistic about how bad the economy is getting is going to be buried or cooked by the end of the year. Quarterly earnings reports shifting to semi-annual earnings will ensure private companies don’t inject reality too often by talking about declining sales, etc.

Indeed. The Lord did not command that we beat swords into ploughshares so that gaslighting grifters could farm rage.

I believe this base was originally built by the Soviet Union, so I guess Russia gets it?

The fact that these people are this upset over chalk drawings tells you how easily they’ll cave when faced with actual mass resistance. Bullies fold when you stand up to them. www.arlnow.com/2025/09/19/c...

One person familiar with the federal investigation said that “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
