Megyn Kelly was tough but fair. It was a reckoning that was long overdue for an industry that did work to cover up Joe Biden’s apparent health issues. The mental health scheme was something we’ve been saying for years. A minor fall—okay? But the incidents where Joe Biden exhibited signs of aging, dementia, and a degrading memory are too numerous. Something was wrong. We were right, and the legacy press was wrong. This is often the case, but this one was the equivalent of no one noticing the elephant in the room. No, it was knowing the elephant was present

Jake ‘the snake’ says to Megyn that “he called Laura Trump,” but who can, or should, believe him? I’d love to hear from Laura exactly what Jake said, and let’s hope there’s an audiotape to go with it!

Maybe, just maybe, if this was a one-off, I'd say, ok, you missed this one. But the corporate, legacy, drive-by media z "missed" or dismissed so many stories to benefit their Democrat masters that is beyond coincidence.

The big bold Tapper looked awful and sounded like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. How the self-styled "mighty" do crash and burn.

Can we stop with saying this was a "coverup." It was gaslighting - pure and simple. We all saw, who did not watch legacy media, that he was fumbling physically and mentally since at least 2020, if not earlier and never being a very smart man - wouldn't take much for his mental decline to become obvious. And now Jake, et al are beating their chests with their phony mea culpas as if we're too stupid to see through their schtick.

Would sportswriters fail to mention the daily poor performance of a major athlete based on sunny assurances from the coaching staff? That is what happened with the media's coverage of Biden. Blaming his staff for their silence will never absolve their malpractice.

Yeah #5.... I was so tired of Tapper's overuse of "humility"; however since no one on the left could ever admit to being ashamed of anything they do or say, this is the closest Tapper could come. Maybe he believes humility and shame are synonyms and Megyn would give him points for being "humble".

RE dem insiders: "They justified to themselves what they had done...by saying that there was this existential threat of Donald Trump, and only Joe Biden could beat Donald Trump, and that justified everything in their minds." Many in the media said the same thing. They claimed with the THREAT of Trump, they were justified to set aside the rules for balanced reporting ...AND THEY DID. See what it got them? They were lying and now they are being held accountable and "Wah Wah Wah" they don't like it. Further, they didn't just get a "story" wrong, they abandoned their raison d'être, to inform the public with accurate information. This is not surprising because the strong tilt of the media is now to "make a difference" and to "influence" and they have decided the "difference" they want to make is in a hard Left direction. AND they are still doing it. They are angry that people are asking them to give up their bias and return to neutral reporting. They still think they are correct in pushing their lies. As their management pressures them to be more neutral their response is FURY! "Yet, what cannot be resolved is that the media knew about this and did nothing." And most of them are still doing nothing or actively resisting reality and responsibility. "this Mickey Mouse con job is over" Well, it will be when the propaganda media is ground into dust and blows away.

I admit to being cynical at this point, but … We are allowing the legacy media to evade the much more nefarious truth. They were utterly cognizant of Joe Biden’s mental state … as were his handlers. This wasn’t an, “Oops,” moment, or a, “gosh darn it, our elderly President is losing his mind, what should we do?” moment. They knew. And they knew it for a very long time. Which means that everything—from the pre-campaign planning, to the infamous Trump debate, to the, “abrupt,” resignation from the 2025 candidacy—were not the gradual and unfortunate symptoms of a deteriorating executive. They knew. If true, that can only mean one thing: a Manchurian-like intent … Just sayin’ :-/

Yes , #15. Quite a few commenters during her show agreed with her. Today as she dissected the Tapper interview with Victor David Hansen, my husband and I laughed as she stated the sharp responses to Tapper she failed to do to his face. He went on to sell a few more books and I was disappointed she helped him.

The media pounces on a small Trump error

Posted by DW626 5/22/2025 7:39:04 PM Post Reply
As you’ve no doubt heard, when South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, appeared in the White House yesterday, President Trump challenged him on the fact that South Africa’s white farmers are being targeted with a new land confiscation law, and are also the victims of targeted attacks, another layer of hazard in a land rife with violent crime. It’s for this reason that Trump gave visas to a paltry 58 white South Africans, sending the Democrats—the same ones who’ve been complacent as upwards of 32 million illegal aliens breached our borders—into paroxysms of race-based rage.
Ed Martin Named the Top Three Suspects

Ed Martin’s nomination to serve as DC Attorney was nuked by Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC). He was in office on an interim basis. Trump selected Jeanine Pirro to replace Martin, who is now a pardon attorney and helming the Department of Justice’s weaponization task force. Martin is looking at Biden’s pardons, specifically the ones issued toward the end of his presidency. They might not be legal. It comes off allegations that Biden aides might have illegally used the autopen. President Trump has asked who was behind the autopen since it’s become clear that Joe Biden was not mentally cogent enough to know what was going on (via The Hill):

If Democrats in Vacationland thought the censure of Rep. Laurel Libby would put an end to the education policy debate surrounding Title IX—and the participation of biological men in women’s sports—they’ve misread the moment, misread federal law, and badly misread their voters. What was meant to silence dissent has only amplified it. What was supposed to end the debate has cracked it wide open. In March, I wrote about how Democrats’ schizophrenic treatment of women’s sports—both existential and irrelevant, depending on the news cycle—was a political liability that helped cost them the 2024 election. Today, in Maine, that liability is becoming a full-blown revolt.

Ah, Jeffrey Epstein. We finally have an official statement from our own side, and it contradicts every last thing our own side has believed now for years. Let’s all approach this analytically. I would be willing to bet that no one reading this right now was there in that jail cell. No one reading right now was on the island, on the plane, or anywhere else relevant to the case. We have secondhand knowledge at best. It is easy to believe a conspiracy theory. It is hard to admit it if you are wrong. Do I think serious crimes were committed? Yes.

I remember reading somewhere that there were those working with James Comey who referred to him as “St. James” Comey because of his absolute certainty that he was always right about everything and had an insufferably smug way of letting you know it.

A Wednesday New York Post headline momentarily deceives those inclined to optimism. It reads, “Gov.

The ruling followed a defamation suit brought by Assistant Minneapolis Police Chief Katie Blackwell.

In his press conference about the 90-day trade deal he reached with the Chinese, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, in less than a minute, threw in a small detail about Joe Biden’s presidency that speaks volumes. First, it reveals how utterly feckless Joe Biden was and, second, it reveals how America benefits from a manifestly strong president. (Snip) In other words, China’s escalating trade depredations against the United States in the past four years, years that were terribly damaging to American manufacturers and workers, came about because the Chinese knew that, with Joe Biden in the White House, they could get away with trade murder.

News flash Crockett, y’all just did that, and it was the biggest beating you Democrats have had at the ballot box in more than forty years—since Ronald Reagan, and that was lifetimes ago! She doesn’t like “safe” and “white,” so is “dangerous” and “black” better? Sounds like her ideal candidate would be George Floyd, or O.J. Simpson.

The border is now secure, but the initial ‘it’s not going to happen’ moment was from the first Trump presidency, where failed diplomat John Kerry said the Abraham Accords would never become a reality.

In the last two and a half years, eight sitting members of the House or Senate have died in office. Every time, it's been a Democrat. Rep.

He's the third House Democrat to die in the last three months. If Democrats had gained a narrow 1 or 2-seat majority in 2024, they would have lost it by now.

In March, President Donald Trump announced a full halt to U.S. foreign aid to South Africa, citing the government’s racially charged abuse of white Afrikaner farmers. He blasted the regime for orchestrated land seizures and escalating violence, calling the country “a bad place to be right now.” At the same time, he offered a fast track to U.S. citizenship for South African farmers and their families seeking safety from persecution. The black-led South African government has flatly denied any campaign of anti-white violence, brushing off the attacks as fiction and painting any criticism as offensive. But the facts on the ground — brutal murders, farm invasions,

Several years ago, I was getting ready to travel to Austin, Texas, for a conference. Just out of curiosity, I looked into getting there by train. Amtrak was the only option, of course. My trip to Austin would take 36 hours, and the route was something like Atlanta to Washington to Chicago to Austin. It would also cost twice as much as flying. Needless to say, Amtrak was totally out as an option. Despite its impracticality and expense, the left loves to romanticize train travel. I think much of it because left-wing media types all live in the Acela corridor, where passenger rail infrastructure is plentiful.
