'It's Hopeless': Crestfallen CBS Hack
Lesley Stahl Doesn't 'See a Path Out'
of Trump's America

Original Article

Poor Lesley Stahl, bless her Trump-loathing heart. The veteran CBS News reporter not only doesn't see a way out of the horrors visited upon America by President Donald Trump; she's also "kind of down" as a result. Please. The CBS "60 Minutes" correspondent appears in a fearmongering PBS special, titled "How Much Executive Power Is Too Much? Breaking the Deadlock: A Power Play," which masquerades as an in-depth look at the executive powers of the presidency. Yes, gang — without reading another word, you can already tell that the dumpster-fire special is simply another hit piece on Trump in which he's portrayed as a threat to democracy.

FTA —- “How Much Executive Power Is Too Much? Breaking the Deadlock: A Power Play," What about team Biden’s abuse of power that allowed 12 million illegal alien invaders to enter the country? And the tens of $billions handed out to green energy fraudsters in the last 75 days of Biden’s term? Is that too much executive power, Leslie?

There are a couple of things in the Trump organization that one could complain about but after having lived through the absolute horror show that was the Biden administration you have to be 90% brain dead not to see the huge improvement and the close brush with national disaster that we experienced.

“America is crumbling because of this president.” America has seldom been in better hands. The problem for Leftists is that their (warped) vision of America is what they fully believe America SHOULD be. The problem is, their vision is not what America what America was created as nor what most people think it should be, America is not made to liberal whims, or for that matter, to Conservative whims. America is made to a vision outlined in a Constitution and supplemented with layers of laws extended from the Constitution. Thus America persists past the whims of the Left and the Right as long as we are law abiding. Liberals are suffering because they tried to rip up laws and the Constitution to satisfy their whims and they got caught and called on it by the American People. Trump is one of the most law abiding presidents we have had in recent times. Unlike Bidet, he is using Presidential power as defined by law. Bidet's actions have fallen apart because they have no legal standing and because the Left is grossly stupid and incompetent. Trump's efforts will stand within the law and he will succeed because he and his people are smarter than the dems and the pathetic media.

There are dozens, if not hundreds of ships leaving American coastal cities every day bound for other nations. There are hundreds of roads that lead to Mexico or Canada.

I think Poor Leslie has been laboring well into her retirement years under the delusion that she will eclipse the late Helen Thomas (who worked practically until she dropped in her late '80s) as the most "famous" WH correspondent. She won't. The days of media credibility in which Thomas lived are over, and nobody really cares whether Stahl gets to ask questions of the next sycophant Democrat president. " But Sir...." Goodbye, Leslie, and don't the door hit you in the backside on the way out.

There are few doubts in the White House about Jill “Lady Macbeth” Biden’s role in covering up her husband’s cognitive deficits as she urged him to run for re-election. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made that point crystal clear from the press room podium Thursday, saying the former first lady “needs to answer” for “lying to the American people” and “shielding her husband away from the cameras.” For the normally circumspect Leavitt, it was a damning indictment. “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw and what she knew,” she told reporters at

Israel supporters marching at a memorial walk for the hostages still being held by Hamas were attacked with Molotov cocktails on Sunday, according to multiple reports. Videos of the aftermath are already circulating, and an alleged assailant is in custody. The terror attack took place in Boulder, CO, just hours after the mainstream press, including CNN, the Associated Press, Fox News, and others, spread a fake story about Israeli soldiers massacring Gazans at an aid distribution center.

PolitiFact threw another "False" flag on their mountain of 1,095 Donald Trump "fact checks" on Wednesday. The dispute was whether Harvard gave the Department of Homeland Security the information they requested on their foreign students. They cited a recent press gaggle with the president: "Part of the problem with Harvard is that there are about 31% of foreigners coming to Harvard ... but they refuse to tell us who the people are," Trump told reporters May 25. "We want a list of those foreign students and we'll find out whether or not they're OK. Many will be OK, I assume. And I assume with Harvard many will be bad."

Sometimes, the smartest PR strategy is to tell the truth. It happens a lot that, of all the options available, telling the truth is your best choice. Clients hate that! “Why the hell am I paying you money if I’m just gonna tell the truth?! I could’ve done that on my own!” They’re disappointed if there’s no smoke, mirrors, or magic act. Alas, most of the time, a client’s PR options are finite. The “facts on the ground” almost always limit your choices. I can’t “sell” a story that isn’t credible, so reality keeps you grounded — especially in an outcome-based endeavor like PR. Trust me on this, folks:

No proof of Russian collusion with the 2016 Trump campaign was ever produced, and the Robert Mueller investigation ended with a thud and no charges, yet the Board stood by their decision.

When an industry requires endless subsidization, that means it’s signaling a lack of potential—both short-term and long-term—so it’s *probably* a bad investment. According to Matt Oliver at The Telegraph, new numbers from the electric vehicle industry show that these cars are depreciating rapidly, much faster than their gasoline counterparts; after just two years of ownership, these cars are worth less than half of what their owners originally paid. (I mean, we tried telling them these were foolish purchases, but they didn’t want to listen.) Here’s this, per Oliver: A typical EV now retains only 49pc of its value after 24 months, a sharp decline from 83pc as recently as 2022,

On Sunday, however, he showed that he can still drop some all-time whoppers when the time is right. Appearing on “CBS Sunday Morning,” the former president minimized the mental decline of Joe Biden

Ukrainian forces have wiped out dozens of Russian military aircraft, including nuclear bombers, in a massive drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s air bases deep inside the country, Kyiv sources are claiming. The mission carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) using first-person-view (FPV) drones hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four separate airfields thousands of miles from Ukraine, a security source told the Kyiv Independent on Sunday. The drones were reportedly smuggled into the country hidden in trucks. TU-95 “Bear” nuclear bombers, TU-22 “Backfire” fast-attack strike bombers and A-50 “Mainstay” command-and-control jets were among the aircraft that were destroyed in the strike, according to reports.

Still, it plays a significant part of life, structuring time and change.
