Washington media mob
shows its true colors as Jake Tapper breaks
ranks with Biden book

The late Irving Kristol defined a neoconservative “as a liberal who got mugged by reality.” It turns out the process was not limited to people of an earlier era, as the ongoing saga of Jake Tapper illustrates. The CNN anchor has been a reliable cheerleader for all things Democrat and a snide anti-Trumper, but dramatically broke ranks by daring to co-author a book about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the White House cabal that tried to conceal it from the public. For his trouble, Tapper is being mocked by former allies and labeled a traitor,

The Demorat cannot win back the confidence of the American people until they admit that they hid Biden's condition. The whole world knows they hid the man and were willing to hide him for another 4 years if they had gotten away with the debate. Everyone know this and continuing to attempt to hide it only reassures Americans that the Dems are untrustworthy.

Does Tapper's book ever mention the Biden administration using body doubles? There has been a steady drip of info and wonder if the media is just waiting to let this drop. It would end any debate about befuddled Biden's mental state.

FTA: "Mugged by his own team simply for doing his job, ...." But he didn't do his job. So, he has all the respect accorded to a traitor. He betrayed his country by keeping quiet about Bidet; now he has betrayed the Insane Trump Haters and they Hate Him Too. This can't be a surprise to Tappy Smelly. FTA: "The press hates Trump more than it loves the truth." Or loves the United States.

Tapper may not be so much a traitor, as just trying to stay relevant. The fact remains that he was willing to spout the Democrat propaganda instead of the truth for years. Anyone who wasn’t deaf or blind had to ignore what was obvious.

The RNC and President Trump needs to make this the main issue for the 2026 elections. The Democrats and the media have lied to you, gaslighted you and they can't be believed any longer. No long winded explanations or such recaps needed. Short, concise and easy to remember parts that highlight their attacks which never actually were true.

Trapper is simply out to make money by selling books. Making money is why he was also silent about Biden's incompetence and decline. There is nothing honorable about what Trapper has done in the past or is doing now.

"The press hates Trump more than it loves the truth." True, including for Tapper. The difference is, most of the media absolutely refuses to see any other reality than the one they are selling. I think that, while he may not like it, Tapper is more pragmatic than his brethren and, given what is now obvious, realizes that the media cannot hurt Trump and unconditionally attacking him is only hurting themselves. So, Tapper is willing to pivot to admit that the media's actions were not right, something the public already knows but the rest of the media refuses to acknowledge. What this gets Tapper is uncertain. He is guilty of journalistic malpractice but one of the few who admit it and accept that Trump was treated badly. It is doubtful this is going to win him any Conservative followers. Nor are any hard Left Trump haters going to think much of him. Maybe he can find a niche in the mushy middle of the country that will think his mea culpa is worth something. That's better than the rest of the Leftist media that is circling the bowl, but not by much.

I had seen nor heard anything about how much Tapper was advanced for the book. The stories bemoan the fact that is has sold less than 50 thousand in the first week, despite all the free PR.

The media surrendered whatever credibility they had left to prop up a President who is demented. Tapper was right out in front of it. His book is less of an expose’ than a confession. They’ve all become irrelevant. Biden’s issues were obvious to everyone so his claims of ignorance are preposterous. He knew Lara Trump was right from the beginning. I hope his book goes down in flames.

I wonder what bothers Tapper more: a.) the fact that he is now persona non grata on the DC cocktail circuit with the many perqs that go with that or b.) that he had a chance to be a hero by alerting the American people to the very real danger of a President with dementia but he chose cowardice rather than doing his job.

Donald Trump's efforts to reach an agreement with Iran on ending its nuclear program just got a lot more complicated. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a "comprehensive" report on Iran's nuclear program requested by the agency's 35-member board. The report confirmed that Iran had been carrying out clandestine nuclear activity at three sites long suspected of conducting weapons research. It also concluded that Iran had vastly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), spinning up 50% more as of May 17 than they had previously reported. That translates into the capability to construct up to nine nuclear bombs.

Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office. The lawmaker’s verbal tirade came after Department of Homeland Security officers entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused his staff of “harboring rioters” in a dramatic confrontation caught on video. “President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,”

Trump’s announcement came at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Works in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, where he held a rally celebrating the “planned partnership” between U.S. Steel and Japanese company Nippon Steel to keep U.S. Steel in America. “Today, I have a major announcement, and are you ready to hear this?” Trump asked the crowd, drawing cheers. We are going to be imposing a 25 percent increase–we’re going to bring it from 25 percent to 50 percent the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States,” Trump said. “Nobody’s going to get around.

Palestinians picking up food packages from the Trump administration-backed American alternative to the United Nations (UN) in Gaza were reportedly shocked the aid was free, having become used to being charged for it. As Breitbart News reported, the new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was launched to provide an alternative to the UN, which either fails to deliver trucks of aid or allegedly lets Hamas steal the supplies. Hamas then keeps the aid (especially fuel) for itself, sells the aid on the black market, or makes Palestinians pay inflated prices for it.

In the olden days, the world was run on a feudal system. There were a handful of mostly inter-related nobles who lived in palaces, wore fancy clothes, and ate sumptuous food. They were served by a large class of serfs who did the unpleasant things like digging latrines, plowing fields, slaughtering animals, tanning leather, and all of the other work needed for the nobles to live in luxury. In return, the nobles kept the serfs from starving but generally oppressed them and sometimes did so gratuitously for their own amusement.

Last year, taxpayers were forced to give another three-quarters of a billion dollars to the abortion giant – almost $800 million. That’s nearly $2.2 million of our tax dollars every single day.

First the cliff notes version: There’s an important detail to remember. People are laughing at the long-range Russian bombers being left out in the open, vulnerable to attack. However, the bomber visibility is required as part of several nuclear agreements between the USA and Russia (SALT and START). Our U.S. long range nuclear capable bombers, covered under the same agreements, are also visible. Ukraine President Zelenskyy is playing with fire by targeting them, which also explains why Zelenskyy never told President Trump in advance. The U.S and NATO have provided the means. However, #1) did Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just exploit a vulnerability by targeting Russian long-range nuclear capable bombers?

The UK will build "up to" 12 new attack submarines, the prime minister will announce, as the government unveils its major defence review on Monday. The new conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarines will replace the seven-strong Astute class from the late 2030s onwards. The review is expected to recommend the armed forces move to "warfighting readiness" to deter growing threats faced by the UK. The prime minister is also expected to confirm the UK will spend £15bn on its nuclear warhead programme. Sir Keir will say that, alongside the UK's nuclear-armed submarines, the new vessels would keep "Britain and Nato safe for decades".

“Never let a good crisis go to waste.” The phrase is often attributed to Winston Churchill, as well as former Barack Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin (D) is apparently taking that message to heart and is using Sunday’s tragic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado by a deranged antisemite against marchers from the American Jewish group "Run for Their Lives" to push for an agenda that has nothing to do with the assault: gun control. If only we could get rid of those dreaded "military style assault weapons," attacks like this wouldn't happen. The problem with his mind-boggling assessment? No guns were used in the attack.

If the Biden regime hadn’t inundated the country with illegal migrants, and if leftist judges hadn’t done all they could to stymie the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, the Boulder terrorist attack on Sunday might never have happened. The attacker, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, screamed “Free Palestine” and threw Molotov cocktails at people who were peacefully standing for Israel in Boulder, Colorado Sunday night, injuring eight. Like Yasser Arafat, Soliman is a Palestinian activist who actually doesn’t hail from any Palestinian area: also like Arafat, Soliman is from Egypt. The Biden regime gave Soliman a visa, and he entered the U.S. on Aug. 27, 2022. By the time he carried out his attack,

Leaked medical tests reportedly show that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won Olympic gold as a female boxer in Paris last year, has “male karyotypes” and may not qualify as a female for the 2027 Olympics after the new gender test requirement comes into force.

Still, the win was marred by controversy because the Algerian had been disqualified from competing as a female in 2022 and 2023 by the International Boxing Association (IBA) due to concerns about the validity of Khelif’s gender tests.
