White House becomes 'irritated' with Fox
News border reporter Bill Melugin

Original Article

So the White House court is ... not amused. According to the Twitter feed of Fox News national reporter Bill Melugin, someone from the White House has let Politico know about the White House's "irritation" at his reporting on the U.S. border mess. According to Politico, whose cutesy headline was "A Doocy at the Border": There’s a tall Fox News reporter in his mid-30s with slicked back hair and an air of combative indignation who is getting under the skin of some people in JOE BIDEN’s administration. And he’s not PETER DOOCY.

A leak that smells like a threat.

Can you imagine if the media reported on Brandon like they did on Trump? Brandon's empty head would explode. KJP would have to tell everybody to shut up. All the administration cabbages would wilt. The funny thing is, if Brandon goes out, by hook or by crook, the media and dems WILL turn on HIM as someone to own the blame. Then they can move forward, as they usually do without any sense of blame on themselves, to do exactly as they were doing before.

Once upon a time, a Reporter's JOB was to "Comfort the Afflicted, and Afflict the Comfortable." It doesn't seem like it's the government's job to be "irritated" with a reporter. And, especially, to say it out loud. It sounds as if the guy is doing what he ought to do, and here's hoping he keeps doing it.

Click on the link, near the bottom of the article, of Alexei Navalny. Ms. Showalter is right on the target with that comparison. Read about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Natan Sharansky, who also suffered under soviet repression and hostility. The soviets were greatly "irritated" at these 2 men as well. We are entering into a great time of woe - unless the Lord judges otherwise. Pray for national repentance, revival for the Church, and mercy.

Biden prefers the government-approved reporters. They sit in air conditioned offices in DC or NY and regurgitate the White House press releases, or comb through Twitter - hoping to find a Tweet that may offend some precious special interest group. Someone out in the real world, wearing out his shoes doing reporting, is the enemy.

Mr. Melugin is an excellent reporter. Two years ago while moving between SoCal and our current home in Idaho, the day after we left our SoCal house a huge brush fire broke out nearby. Eventually the fire got within about 1/2 mile of our house. We were able to stream Fox11 LA news, Melugin was on it. He gave accurate information on exactly what was on camera, where it was and the direction it was facing. He supplemented this with his Twitter feed, giving his exact locations and what was happening. Watching a fire approaching your neighborhood while 1,000 miles away is no fun, but in my 60+ years as a Californian I can say that Melugin did the best job covering a fire that I’ve ever seen. I’m glad he was able to go national and no surprised that he continues to do excellent work.

1) if the wh pushes against Meliquin fox will pull him back into the left side. He lives in San Diego so he is fairly well versed on the happenings on the border. BUT fox will not allow him to continue to be a voice v illegals. They will pull him back. 2) if any want to truly know what is happening on the border and in south america concerning illegals they should watch Real America Voice (RAV). Ben Bergquam is the border expert along with Oscar Blue Ramirez. Ben and Oscar reported on the panama trail that was opened about 30 days ago in order to make the illegals a faster trip. NO other was reporting on it. Or how these people are actually getting from their original country to the US border so quickly, well equipped, and healthy. No one is as good as Ben and Oscar!

Bill is a great Reporter! That said, I personally would like FOX to bring him in and give him a Monday to Friday job (maybe on FOX and FRIENDS or one of the other shows on for three hours a day. He is Gorgeous! I love his Hair! He's Buff! What can I say. I'm 80, but gosh, I can look and enjoy!! He's definitely going to go up the Ladder at FOX! He can be so much more than a Reporter at the Border!

Oh so the White House is "irritated." I have been irritated-plus for a couple of years now, ever since the election of 2020. Irritation incessant for me, fresh outrage from the White House every single day.

Thanks daisymae...I'm a few years older than you and was about to say the same thing! But I differ on the last part of your post. Right now Bill belongs at the border. Can't think of another reporter doing as good a job right now. I'm afraid now that he's in the crosshairs of the irritated dems, they're out to destroy him bamn.

Joe, if you are irritated now, imagine how you are going to feel when the Republicans take over Congress. Whatever the Democrats can do when they are in power, the Republicans can also do when they get the power back. I hope you know a lot of lawyers and you may want to put Hunter on suicide watch.

I agree totally with #9. Handsome Melugin is the best reporter on TV. I feel sure he’s not the least bit afraid of the wimpy Nancy boys in the White House. Melugin needs to join The Five. Smart as a whip and tells it like it is. And easy on the eyes too.

In Mexico, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador know a fool when he sees one. So now that Joe Biden has let illegal border crossings balloon in into a full-blown crisis, with millions of illegal aliens now flowing into the U.S., he's got Biden over a barrel. Like any sharp mafioso or three-card monte player, he's now raising his price to solving the problem ... and it won't come cheap. According to Newsweek: Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wants the United States to pay $20 billion to help curb illegal immigration.

Ever wonder why Harvard's now-ex-president, Claudine Gay, could have such a hard time condemning calls for genocide against Jews in her congressional testimony? Sure, part of it, as she said, was that she "got caught up" with her questioner, GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik, whom she obviously thinks has cooties. The other part, though, might be this, as Campus Reform reports: The Biden administration’s Department of Education opened an investigation into San Diego State University after an administrator sent an email condemning Hamas and offering support after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, according to a school official.

Surfers from Brazil, France and Portugal have arrived at Mavericks, a famous wave south of San Francisco, to ride the giant walls of water.

With elections on and Joe Biden hovering at around a 40% public approval rating, everyone can see that Joe Biden's starting to get desperate over his polls. Vying for issue number one among voters is an out-of-control open border with illegal immigration now hitting record highs as hundreds of thousands pour in. Cities are going bankrupt with the onslaught. Border Patrol agents are shutting down legitimate trade to "process" migrants. Hospitals are flooded with diseased and injured migrants, and schools are overwhelmed with indigent pupils speaking more than a hundred languages. Instead of change his policies to match what's written in law, Biden has sent his men down to Mexico

The illegal migrant inflow is hitting record highs at Eagle Pass, Texas, and it's out of control at entries across the southern border. Anyone ask what Mexico is doing about it? We know they're trying to keep them from flooding Tijuana by building a border fence in that area. But in that, they aren't stopping the migrants. (Snip) In reality, the Mexicans are helping the migrants cross into the U.S. for the exact same reasons that red border states are busing and flying illegal border crossers into their sanctuary cities of choice. They don't want this problem.

The political class has spent a lot of time obsessing about former President Donald Trump's lead in the Republican early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. There's been less time devoted to how Trump is doing in some bigger states that follow the first three. Michigan holds its primary just three days after South Carolina. It's one of the biggest states on the primary calendar. And now a new poll by the Washington Post and Monmouth University shows that Trump has a 50-point — yes, a 50-point — lead in the Republican race there. The poll showed that 63% of likely Republican primary voters

The director of Disney’s latest flop, The Marvels, Nia DaCosta, is blaming hateful sexist, misogynists for the massive box office failure. What is probably really upsetting Ms. DaCosta is that more men than women bought tickets to the film. Women, like me, are not at all interested in paying for a film starring macho women. No thanks, Disney. Real women like strong men, even fake ones portraying superheroes. The more I read about the antics of the hysterical Karens or view the sickening videos of moronic exhibitionists on TikTok, the more convinced that I am a female chauvinist.

Shakespeare would have had no use for President Joe Biden. If given the opportunity to dramatize his story, the Bard of Avon undoubtedly would have passed. His historical plays and tragedies were certainly partial to political leaders, and Biden has things in common with some of his most famous leading characters -- like Macbeth, he has political ambitions and a helpful spouse, and like King Lear, he has diminished abilities and problematic offspring -- but Shakespeare’s major characters were all deep and complex, prone to wander castle or moor emoting about an inner turmoil or bitter fate.

Many Democrats, pointedly its ‘progressive’ left wing, enjoy thinking of themselves as ‘people-person’ trailblazers. This collective and persistent fiction chiefly works because their ‘novel’ efforts cancel out quietly or die in silence, as failures. The brilliant, new ‘initiative’ du jour becomes unworkable—either upon execution or, worse, is frankly untenable for America--eventually. The progressive voice is the loudest and most constant while the majority are barely heard. This progressive public bullying is a problem now owned, if not altogether liked, by the Democrat party; it is rooted in the stupidities of our failed education.

Does the Washington Post have any credibility at all? They censored this cartoon below after a few critics absurdly howled 'racism' -- all for depicting a Hamas spokesman accurately, and creating a thoughtful message that Hamas's howls about civilian attacks are disingenuous, given Hamas's war on Israeli civilians, including the 200-some hostages they hold. upposedly, they complained about the nose, expropriating from the complaints of caricatures directed against Jews done by anti-Semites. Yeah, sure. Did they want a little turned-up button nose on him? And is Ramirez supposed to depict a terrorist spokesman holding hostages flatteringly?

Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian leading the polls in Argentina’s presidential election this month, has made a lot of contentious statements in recent years: Humans did not cause climate change; people should be able to sell their organs; his nation’s currency “is not even good as manure.” But, to many Argentines, he has done something far worse: attacked the pope. In 2020, Mr. Milei, a self-identifying Catholic, called Pope Francis an “imbecile” and “the representative of the Evil One on earth” because he defends “social justice.”

Any evaluation of the Biden administration's policy towards the Iranian regime (and towards the Palestinians) reveals a failure: the deadly Western miscalculation that "being nice" will be reciprocated. In the culture of the Middle East, that simply does not work. Instead, one is looked on as a gullible sucker or juicy "mark," like a jolly drunk at a strip club.

The nation’s ruling class holds deeply authoritarian opinions widely divorced from the rest of the American electorate, finds a survey out this week. It found nearly 60 percent of American “elites” think there is too much individual freedom in America. Meanwhile, nearly 60 percent of registered voters have the exact opposite opinion, reporting the United States has too much top-down control, limiting liberty. The study from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity found ruling class opinions on climate policies were particularly harsh and despotic. More than two-thirds of the 1 percent support rationing vital energy and food sources in an attempt to control the globe’s weather.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) prepared to alert state and local officials to an emerging connection between heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccines, but ultimately did not send the alert, according to a new document obtained by The Epoch Times. All four COVID-19 vaccines that are or have been available in the United States can cause the heart inflammation, or myocarditis, according to studies, experts, and agencies like the CDC. The first cases were reported shortly after the vaccines became available in late 2020.

American travelers are outraged by signs appearing at US airports appearing to allow migrants onto flights without showing proper identification. US citizens traveling domestically have to show a valid identification card or a passport to board a plane, but signs at certain airports say there are different rules for some newly arrived migrants. The signs claim the Transport Security Administration is working with Customs and Border Protection to “validate adult non-US citizen travel documentation when the traveler does not otherwise have an acceptable form of identification.”
