50 Years

Original Article

A new poll by Gallup has revealed that Americans' trust in the media has reached its lowest level in over 50 years. The survey indicates that only 31 percent of Americans have confidence in the media's capacity to report news accurately and fairly. This represents a significant decline compared to previous decades, reflecting growing concerns about media bias and who Americans can trust for accurate information. The findings underscore the increasing skepticism toward traditional news outlets and their ability to serve the public interest.

31% seems awfully high. I’m guessing the actual number is half that.

I agree # 1. I think the number is much lower than that. Just read headlines on Daily Mail. Every story is strongly, negatively slanted against Trump. Same on a lot of news sites. I check out two sites throughout the day, Lucianne and The Liberty Daily. So far the information I get from them has been accurate.

I would guess that the reason have lost trust in the media is that more and more people realize that the media is lying to them. And, the lies the Democrats are feeding them are recycled, making them easier to spot. It doesn’t matter how you message a lie it is still a LIE.

There aren’t many places where the liberal media can go on this one. There’s been a recent attempt to peddle a narrative that buyer’s remorse surrounds Donald Trump. There isn’t. The media tried to declare his approval ratings were plummeting when they were not. Voters have the information at their disposal, so when they see that headline about dipping approval ratings and then check, only to find that the most anti-Trump outlets are the ones with such polls, they ignore it, and rightfully so.

Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries. “I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites. “Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.” In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress,

Every Republican president is Hitler, of course, but Donald Trump is somehow even Hitlerer than all of them. It was a theme in his first term, but during this election, even the corrupt eggplant masquerading as the incumbent got into the act. Trump was Hitler – no, he was Super Hitler. He was more Hitler than Hitler. And it’s a constant theme among the lesser lights of the Democrat Party. “This is what fascism looks like,” intone very serious politicians who seem to have no idea what fascism looks like. And the Trump/Hitler thing is all over social media. Every day, as Trump exercises the legitimate powers granted to him

Satellite imagery studied by analysts speaking with NBC News revealed that the Chinese Navy is working on a new ship which will allow fighter jets to be launched from four different areas of the flight deck, which is unlike anything in the current Chinese fleet. “We think this is them testing equipment and layouts for the upcoming Type 04 carrier,” stated James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies researcher Michael Duitsman.

Everything about President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance kicking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s sorry, begging, petulant, pompous, entitled ass out of the White House last Friday is the perfect encapsulation of America First foreign policy in practice, not just in theory. This is exactly what I voted for, and I couldn’t be more proud of our leaders for practicing what they preach, consequences and optics be damned.

For three months last year, he campaigned on the national ticket with Kamala Harris. As late as Election Day, Walz was convinced that he and Harris were headed to the White House. He was going to be the Vice-President of the United States, living at the Naval Observatory, one heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Despite vowing not to quit despite pressure from the Trump administration after a White House talks descended into a chaotic shouting match, the leader did say he would step down as President if it meant Ukraine could join NATO.

Congressman Brandon Gill, who represents Texas' 26th Congressional District, said that he plans to introduce a bill to feature Trump's likeness on the $100 note once his current term concludes. "President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid."

[RULING pdf HERE]This ruling stems from the same mindset as former AG Bill Barr, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy AG Sally Yates, former IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson, and the entire organization of professional Lawfare activists that includes Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen.
