This is going to be the question for the next who knows how long. Not 'will Zelensky ever talk Trump into giving him the big guns'...nope. Not 'will there ever be an agreement Hamas wasn't already planning to break when they agreed'...nope. Not 'does anyone give a rip about anything the WNBA does or its players'...nope. NOPE The unanswerable question on everyone's minds is 'how long can new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss continue to cruelly torture the news division staff at the network before they collapse from the sheer angst and unending mental abuse?' That's THE question. Oh, yeah. What honest, devoted progressive

"Why does the country think you’re biased?" PERFECT! Asked and answered in one step. The implication is, no matter what I as your boss think, or what you think, what matters is what the COUNTRY thinks and they see you as biased. It's a hard stop truth and a reality. A shot across the CBS staffers bow. It also implies that it is a reality that has to be turned around. After seeing the insufferable preening of the media, does anyone think these people are capable of making the changes necessary, personally and professionally, that would be necessary to deal with this issue effectively? It would be like these people were told they had to cut off both their legs to get the job done. Worse, ALL of them are going to be asked to make the changes together. They are going to RESIST!!! For Weiss to pull this off it will take almost Trumpian fortitude. It will be interesting to watch.

The question is, will Bari Weiss change CBS News or will CBS News insiders change Bari Weiss? The guy who took over CNN a few years back didn't last long, and I doubt the entrenchment there was deeper than CBS. Unless Bari and the new owners don't mind getting rid of some of their over-priced and self-absorbed "talent."

60 Minutes has been caught at least 3 times blatantly LYING to their audience. Exploding Fords, Bush military record and Kamala's word salad editing. These are off the top of my head and I don't even watch it because of their snarky condesention to anything and anyone not demonstrable left of center. How in the world is that program the standard bearer for CBS (or any) news organization?

When a new boss wants to know what it is you do every day, that means you better bring value and profit to the company, or you are gone. Larry Ellison owns CBS, and he doesn't like dead weight.

It seems to me that (hopefully) the legacy media is decling. Their constant promotion of left wing causes has turned off millions of viewers. People can get the news that they want to see from other sources. The constant ads are becoming more than just annoying. I know that the internet sites try to blast you with their commercials but people have found workarounds with ad-blockers etc. I like college football and Major league baseball but I mute the ads. I also realize that the stuff we like has to be paid for but I wonder how many people are still paying attention or pulling out their credit cards to buy the products. Maybe the cost of the advertising is worth it but it looks like it may have reached a point of diminishing returns.

Muslims are blasting Zohran Mamdani’s association with controversial Imam Siraj Wahhaj, warning that legitimizing the former terror suspect could fuel radical extremism. “I am particularly concerned to see mosques used as political rallying platforms in the free and democratic United States,” said Dalia Ziada, a Muslim scholar and fellow at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy. “By embracing Wahhaj, Zohran Mamdani is sidelining moderate Muslims and normalizing an extremist ideology that once inspired terror on American soil and still fuels radicalization within segments of the Muslim community today,” she told Fox News.

It’s difficult to think of a more effective way to illustrate the moral and intellectual emptiness of the American left than to have them march around demanding an end to an institution our founding fathers abolished 250 years ago. This is how the official “No Kings” website described what happened on Saturday: “On October 18, more than seven million of us rose up at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states, DC, and cities worldwide to say: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.” These folks are a little late to the party.

Mikie Sherrill can’t keep her story straight. The New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial nominee keeps changing her account of her involvement in an infamous 1990s US Naval Academy cheating scandal — and alumni don’t believe her latest explanation. “I don’t buy it, and I’m kind of speaking on behalf of actually a lot of classmates that reached out to me,” Brent Sadler, who graduated from the academy in 1994, the same class as Sherrill, and serves as a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told The Post.Sherrill last month confirmed she didn’t walk during her class’s commencement and claimed she was penalized because she “didn’t turn in some of my classmates.”
Trump Proved ‘Experts’ Wrong About Tariffs 13 replies

Last April, Paul Krugman wrote the following about the reciprocal tariffs President Trump had just announced: “This is a much bigger shock to the economy than the infamous Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930.” Krugman trotted out that trite analogy not because he really believed Trump’s tariffs were comparable to Smoot-Hawley, but because he knew his Substack subscribers would vaguely recall reading about the latter in high school and feel intelligent. Six months later it’s blindingly obvious that Trump was right about the tariffs and Krugman’s portentous predictions were utterly moronic.

The list is staggering, really. And one need not go back to January to compile a collection of the most anti-democratic behavior and positions possible, all to save muh democracy. I can fill out this column with stuff just since Friday. In June of this year, The United States Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision in Mahmoud V. Taylor, in favor of parents objecting to sexually explicit LGBT material being used in school on religious exemption grounds. The case overturned the decision against both the rights of parents and the 1st Amendment's freedom to practice religion by a district court judge nominated early in Joe Biden's term.
Yes, Virginia, Jay Jones Is Evil 3 replies

Remember how many Democrats called in vain for the resignation of former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam when his penchant for performing in blackface was discovered in 2019? Among the most vocal was Abigail Spanberger, who then represented the Commonwealth’s 7th District in Congress. Now, as the Democratic candidate in Virginia’s 2025 gubernatorial contest, Spanberger is oddly reluctant to call for the withdrawal of her party’s vile nominee for Attorney General — Jay Jones. Evidently, musing about the murder of a GOP lawmaker is not as disturbing as a Halloween get up.

By now, you are likely familiar with the story of Jay Jones, the terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad candidate for Attorney General of Virginia. Beege wrote about the emerging scandal yesterday, and chances are good that there will be enough twists and turns to the story that you will read quite a bit more about it over the next few days or weeks. For those unfamiliar with the breaking story, the short version is this: Virginia Delegate Jay Jones is running for Attorney General in Virginia and has a comfortable (if hopefully temporary) lead in the race against incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares this November.

On Monday, the Associated Press published a report revealing that the U.S. Marine Corps has reached its recruiting targets for the 2025 fiscal year. The achievement follows in the footsteps of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, all of which hit their FY2025 goals months ahead of schedule.

State officials revoked the license of the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district Monday after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Ian Roberts Friday on a deportation order and weapons charges. On Saturday, the Des Moines school board placed Roberts on paid administrative leave while protesters demand his release. ICE says Roberts is not only an illegal alien from Guyana who was working illegally, but also that he fled arrest in a school district-owned car and was in illegal possession of a loaded gun and hunting knife when agents finally nabbed him. The school board voted in secret to select Roberts

The Virginia gubernatorial race between Republican Winsome Earle-Sears and Democrat Abigail Spanberger has already been won by the latter if one takes the polls seriously. Yet, actual ballots cast during the first week of early voting suggest that the electorate is ignoring the polls. Early voting for the 2025 general election began on September 19 and, according to the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP), turnout is twice what it was in 2021 and it has been particularly high in heavily Republican areas of the Commonwealth. This is remarkably similar to the early voting pattern that prevailed last year.

The Trump administration says it is cancelling student debt for millions of borrowers — a pivot from its previous moves to block some loan forgiveness plans. In an agreement with the American Federation of Teachers, the White House will again start processing student loan forgiveness for eligible borrowers in two income-driven repayment plans – Income-Contingent Repayment and Pay as You Earn – until they expire. President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is slated to phase out those two programs by July 1, 2028. They have over 2.5 million enrollees total, a higher ed expert estimated.

I don't know if you've seen anything about Barack Obama's presidential center. But if you didn't, he posted about it on Saturday. It's been a boondoggle now for some time. It is, in fact, the perfect representation of Barack Obama. Here's a Newsweek headline on the project: "Behind Schedule, Over Budget, and Mired in Lawsuits."The local community was also unhappy with it or had concerns. One resident called it a "monstrosity," taking away from the beautiful area that once was there. So much for the feelings of the locals. Guess those got lost in the narcissism.

California Gov.

The Los Angeles Times noted that “fine print” in a 254-page bill known as SB 254 — a massive bill compared to most state legislation — lets Southern California Edison and other utilities charge consumers for wildfire damage that exceeds $21 billion,[snip] The legislation has revived concerns about the fact that Newsom and other politicians in the state have taken large campaign contributions from the utilities.

"Together, we can tax the rich, heal the sick, house the poor, defund the police & build a socialist New York,” Zohran Mamdani tweeted in 2020. On his current mayoral campaign website, he calls for shifting the city’s tax burden to “richer and whiter neighborhoods.” These aren’t slip-ups or stray remarks. They are at the heart of his campaign for mayor of New York City this November. And if he wins, the fallout won’t just be felt here. It will ripple far beyond the five boroughs, dragging down not only New York but the nation as well. I know a lot of Americans will shrug and say: “Well, New Yorkers

Indicted former FBI Director James Comey is seeking to have his criminal case dismissed on the grounds that he is the victim of selective prosecution because of President Trump’s disdain for him. Comey’s defense team filed a motion to dismiss Tuesday, arguing that the Trump administration’s false statements case is an unconstitutional abuse of power by the Trump administration. “Ample objective evidence—much of which comes directly from government officials’ own public statements and admissions—establishes that the government’s animus toward Mr. Comey led directly to this vindictive and selective prosecution,” Comey’s attorneys said in court papers. “The proper remedy for the government’s constitutional violations is a dismissal with prejudice.
