The White House announced Tuesday it would “give the power back to the people,” but the establishment media want it back. Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich took to social media Tuesday to protest a White House announcement that the White House would open up access to the press pool covering President Donald Trump and his administration.“For decades, a group of DC-based journalists, the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA), has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the president of the United States in these most intimate spaces,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday. “Not anymore.”

Why is this news? Fox is main stream corporate media before they're anything else.

"only representatives FROM our outlets can determine resources all those outlets have – such as staffing – in order to get the President’s message out to the largest possible audience, no matter the day or hour." Which is an an absurdity. News is passed at internet speed and reach, which is instantaneously and everywhere. WHCA just wants to be able to control and interpret what Trump and his people say. Trump will NEVER get fair treatment from them. That's why they have been decimated by his accurate labels of "Fake News" and "Enemies of the American People". He has destroyed them. And he doesn't need them. Now they want to reclaim their power to set the tone of the news. They don't deserve that privilege by themselves. Trump is opening things up to alt media that is willing to give him and his policies a fair shake. Instead of leading a lesson from what has happened to them, Big Media is arrogantly demanding that Trump restore their monopoly on news. That will happen about the same time Global Warming is proven to be true, as about 1 minute to never. The funniest thing is that the media is so threatened by ONE SEAT they don't have. Of course that's not the issue. They HATE that Trump has this power over them and that the public doesn't trust their lies any longer. They can no longer set narratives or fake up stories. They know with their timorous grasp on news that even one contrary voice will undermine them. Trump knows that as well and is jerking their chain. It's hilarious!

Rupert Murdoch wanted to modify his irrevocable trust “to grant his eldest son Lachlan in control of Fox News and News Corporation.” Lachlan, a Republican, “is said to hold his father’s conservative views” whereas the other three children are left-leaning and “have vowed to radically change the network, according to press reports.” The court ruled against Mr. Murdoch. With Roger Ailes as its founding CEO, the Fox News Channel appealed to a conservative audience, however, since Mr. Ailes’ departure from Fox News in 2016, programming has become a disappointment to conservatives for what seems to be less news reporting and more opinion reporting. Upon Mr. Rupert Murdoch’s passing, his three left-leaning children may likely follow through with their vow “to radically change the network.”

I didn't think that Fox would relinquish their spot to Newsmax quite this easily but you must do what the owners tell you to do. I'll still tune in to Gutfeld occasionally but the rest of it is toast. Fox should do a case study of CNN. Leftists never realize their mistakes until it's way too late.

despite the naysayers here who speak from NOT watching it, Fox dominates cable and did a lot to bring Trump victory, airing most of his campaign rallies and giving him the mic whenever he wanted it. it does draw many more Dems now than a year ago so we'll see if that changes things. right now the shows more often than not lean to Trump.

Democrats have been thrashing around since President Donald Trump won the presidential election, not seeming to know how to respond, and they've just been going back to the playbook they've had for the past ten years: "Orange man bad/Hitler!!!" But if you don't have more than that to offer, you are going to get rejected. That's exactly what happened in the election in November, with the Republicans taking the presidency, the House, and the Senate. That doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's a message. But it's a message the Democrats don't seem to be getting yet. That's a problem for them,

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted a New York Times reporter as a “left-wing stenographer” after he compared President Trump to Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s crackdown on press freedoms. The heated exchange with Peter Baker was sparked by him questioning the administration’s decision to seize control of the press pool and to bar Associated Press reporters from the Oval Office and Air Force One. Baker, a veteran journalist and former Moscow correspondent, compared the White House’s move to Kremlin tactics in a post on X Tuesday.

The bloated, inefficient, and corrupt federal bureaucracy is finally facing a long-overdue reckoning. President Donald Trump has ordered all federal agencies to prepare for significant reductions in workforce and structural reorganization. According to a newly released memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), agencies must submit their initial plans for large-scale reductions in force (RIFs) by March 13, 2025. This directive is part of Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency” Workforce Optimization Initiative, an executive order signed on February 11, 2025, which aims to eliminate waste, bloat, and insularity in Washington’s deep state.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expand the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) even further. While DOGE has been making headlines for looking into the IRS and the Department of Education, under Trump's order DOGE will have even more power over the federal government as a whole. As the executive order makes clear from the start, with its very title, the goal in mind is "cost efficiency," with the executive order being titled "Implementing the President's 'Department of Government Efficiency' Cost Efficiency Initiative."

The Department of Defense has issued new guidance ordering the military services to begin the process of discharging transgender members of the Armed Forces in 30 days. The new policy recognizes only two sexes; it requires members of the Armed Forces to adhere to the physical fitness and grooming standards of their biological sex. Any attempt at chemically or surgically changing sex makes the person unsuitable for military service. If a person had, at some point, been transgender they can be retained if they "demonstrate “36 consecutive months of stability” in their sex with no “clinically significant distress or impairment,” if they can prove they have “never attempted to transition

The White House press corps has nerve complaining about access to the president after it raised barely a peep in protest at Joe Biden being practically AWOL his entire presidency. Biden didn’t even hold a press conference until two months in. The handful of press conferences he did conduct were a bad joke, in which he would take three or four questions from preselected reporters, whose names and photographs were printed on a card.

Trump made the announcement at the start of the first Cabinet meeting of his second term, hailing the deal as “a very big agreement.” The Republican president has long complained that the United States has spent too much taxpayer money to support Ukraine in the war with Russia that began when the Kremlin invaded three years ago. Trump has framed the emerging deal that would give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s deposits

Within days of Donald Trump’s November landslide, Bishop Mark Seitz, head of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ migration committee, warned that Their Eminences were preparing to “’raise our voice loudly’” if Trump’s immigration policy “’violates basic human rights.’” This episcopal loudness signals the end of the USCCB’s scrupulously-maintained four-year vow of silence through the entire presidency of the “devoutly” Catholic Joe Biden. Their silence spoke volumes to Catholics witnessing Biden doing his utmost to wage open war on the most fundamental teachings of the Church. Not only was this “‘good Catholic’” (Biden claimed Pope Francis described him this way during a 2021 audience),

When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) went to the steakhouse at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. Monday night to dine with (alleged) lobbyists he was a little too loose-lipped, and sadly for him conservative journalist Nick Sortor was seated at the table next to him and heard it all. In fact, Sortor says Swalwell "invaded" his table while he was "inebriated at dinner," and promised a video recap. Sortor says he has audio of the conversation, but he hasn't yet released it. (Presumably, he's getting legal advice) He did, however, release a summary of what Swalwell said and a video of him confronting Swalwell as the group exited the restaurant.
