Forget covering protests — some reporters think they should be the ones making the ruckus. A group of over 250 journalists implored members of the Beltway press corps to “forcefully demonstrate opposition” to President Trump at the ritzy White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday. Trump, 79, is set to attend the swanky dinner for the first time in his presidency. But the group of 250 reporters is demanding that the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) ensure he doesn’t feel welcome.We believe the White House Correspondents Association should take stronger action by issuing — from the podium —

So: What's the news? They have shown that they no longer report the news, they make the news. In effect they show that they are no longer journalists they are just more left wing hacks and we cannot believe anything that they report on. They have dropped all evidence of impartiality.

Fifteen years ago, this dinner and Obama's mean and childish comments about DJT was the straw that broke the Camel's back IMO. The press will never acknowledge the amazing results we are seeing daily it seems, but I think the President will point them out. In detail. Normally, I don't listen to the rantings, I just read about the policies and results. I think I'll make an exception this time!

Nothing says "We are unbiased and non political observers and reporters of events" than calling for a left wing protest against the most open and available President. Alleged non biased journalists are so blinded to their anti Trump bias that they are blinded to it. When Trump makes his speech during the dinner, he should recite the mistrust in media statistics. Report just the facts but do it in the fun cutting way that only Trump can do.

Keep track, keep score...those who "prove" an unwarranted degree of partisanship, dishonesty and animosity after inviting him to "Their House"? Get no seat at the table, no invitation to "Our House". Keep in mind....last year he "Earned", In Courts, over $150Million in damages and restitution from famous "Journalists and Media outlets" that LIED about him to the public. The "Dinner" is not just "The Dinner" it is over 25 other events, parties, salons, lunches, cocktail parties, dances, over three days. It is held in the "Grand Ballroom" of the Hilton...The White-house itself has no Ballroom or event space large enough, yet these same Media/Press people are near universal in bashing Trump for building a space that can.

I'd not bother to go. By refusing to attend for five years (2016-2020, and 2025), Trump put the "nerd prom" in the ICU. Three more years of non-attendance, and it would be time to pull the plug.

Let's not call them journalists. They are political activists and operatives aligned against a president the American people chose twice. They don't wish President Trump, nor the American people well. They have spent every year since he came down the escalator, looking for ways to get him removed from office, thrown in jail, or worse. Real journalists wouldn't have fallen for (or promoted) the Russia Hoax. They would have seen through the silly "Putin's Puppet" narratives, and dug deeper, discovering they were concocted in some deep state office. These self-serving operatives are the same ones who covered for Biden's dementia. They have shown the world who they are, and that is why nobody trusts them any more.

#8, I agree completely. I've said this on other threads, but I was watching that dinner when President Obama thought it would be a bright idea to humiliate Donald Trump in front of the press. He gave a funny speech. And I think he and the Press had a really good time. But when the camera cut to Trump, I saw the look on his face, and I said out loud in my claymation Goliath the dog voice, "I don't think that was a very good idea, Daaa-vey!" More to the point, I thought, "President Obama you've just made an active enemy of a critic who has more media savvy, more financial resources, and more genuine life accomplishments than you do outside of the Presidency." I believe President Trump swore in that moment to destroy President Obama's political Legacy and devastate his minions, but even I had no concept of how effective a weapon he would be against his enemies. Even those who disagree with his policies have been forced recognize the reality that President Trump is the most consequential president we had in my lifetime. Last thing on the journoids: Peggy Noonan was a loyal Reaganaut before she went a little nuts. She opposed Trump in every way she could, and refused to attend an off the record visit he made to the Wall Street Journal. Her reason was interesting. She believed that actually meeting the man in person might cause her to like him enough to overcome her distaste for him. Much later, she did attend an off the record briefing and reported in general terms that confirmed her suspicions: he was genial, funny, self-aware, and ribald in his candor and profanity. And she found herself liking him in spite of everything. I hope I live long enough to find out who Donald Trump really was in office. He's simply fascinating.

More proof you don't hate the MSM enough. #39's example of Peggy Noonan is a perfect example of the willfully ignorant and emotionally negative combo that the left works hard to amp up every waking hour. They are disgusting people with limited intelligence, but believing they are smarter than the rest of us. The BEST thing the internet has done, is to make them less relevant and more exposed. If some foreign power or sick billionaire wasn't paying them, they would starve trying to find an audience via a podcast.

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar blew up at a reporter this week for asking questions about accounting “discrepancies” the Democrat blamed for overstating her net worth by millions of dollars on financial disclosure forms. In May last year, Omar (D-Minn.) claimed she and her husband, Tim Mynett, held assets worth between $6 million and $30 million. However, an amended filing reported by the Wall Street Journal last week put the couple’s wealth at between $18,004 and $95,000. The lawmaker claimed the initial filing was riddled with accounting errors.

Apparently, it’s everyone else’s fault that no one quite knew what to make of Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy’s characteristically attention-grabbing remark on Tuesday morning: https://x.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/2046345472915206646?s=20 There is some ambiguity in Murphy’s remark. Was the senator cheering on the ships that supposedly evaded the American blockade? Was he going for sarcasm, mourning the U.S. Navy’s inefficacy with a melancholy hint of self-satisfaction over having his skepticism of this war confirmed by events? As political observers wrestled over these competing interpretations of Murphy’s remark, we at least learned that the senator was dead wrong about the facts:
Why Social Change Typically Limits Democracy 2 replies

The United States was built on a distrust of concentrated power. It is this fundamental distrust of big government that shaped federalism, defined the separation of powers, and limited each branch to a distinct role. During periods of rapid social change, however, governmental restraint weakens. Reform movements—whether in civil rights, economic regulation, or cultural policy—have not only produced legislation but also expanded judicial authority.j Social progressivism brings courts to no longer just interpret the law but also reshape it. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 addressed a clear injustice. It prohibited discrimination in employment and public accommodations based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

In case you missed the news, the assembly earlier this week passed Senate Bill 791. Also known as the Community Trust Act, it essentially prohibits local correctional facilities from taking actions related to immigration enforcement. But what’s worse is that it actually holds back local law enforcement from communicating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and stops any kind of notifications and transfers to ICE without an order or judicial warrant.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that Iran and the United States should reach an agreement similar to former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal in order to make peace. “If the current efforts of the Iranian and American negotiators, which we support, result in something like the 2015 agreement, I think it would be a great success,” Lavrov said at a press conference after meeting with Taher al-Baour, the acting foreign minister of one of Libya’s two governments. Libya was torn in half and became infested with terrorists and warlords after Obama attacked the country in 2011 to change its regime.

The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that a grand jury indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for making fraudulent payments of millions of dollars to members of the Ku Klux Klan and other neo-Nazi organizations. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a news conference that the 11-count indictment filed in an Alabama federal court alleged the left-wing nonprofit had in the past decade paid at least $3 million to eight members of the far-right groups. One leader of the 2017 Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Va., received roughly $270,000 over an eight-year period. Neither that person nor others were identified in the 14-page indictment.

The president previously called Jeffries a "low IQ person" on Tuesday and said he was always ranting about the war in Iran. MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell asked the House Minority Leader to respond to the president's comments. "Well, it’s an extraordinary insult, but he continues to repeat it. And what’s so ironic is that Donald Trump is clearly the dumbest person ever to sit at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Jeffries said. Jeffries said Trump and Republicans have failed America. "But most importantly, Lawrence, this guy and Republicans have completely and totally failed America. They failed on the economy, failed on healthcare, failed on immigration enforcement," he said.

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar blew up at a reporter this week for asking questions about accounting “discrepancies” the Democrat blamed for overstating her net worth by millions of dollars on financial disclosure forms. In May last year, Omar (D-Minn.) claimed she and her husband, Tim Mynett, held assets worth between $6 million and $30 million. However, an amended filing reported by the Wall Street Journal last week put the couple’s wealth at between $18,004 and $95,000. The lawmaker claimed the initial filing was riddled with accounting errors.

As he stood center stage in Newark Monday night, Bruce Springsteen was a familiar portrait of rock-god pomp and fervor. Fans roared with adoration as the resolute Boss opened his Prudential Center concert with the same preamble he’s given each night on his new tour: “The America I love, the America that I’ve written about for 50 years that has been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,” he said. “Tonight we ask all of you to join with us in choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness,

President Trump extended his cease-fire with Iran Tuesday afternoon — after an American negotiating team led by Vice President JD Vance delayed plans to travel to Pakistan for a second round of peace talks. “Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and,

Employees at top secret government labs have suddenly disappeared without a trace across the US, leaving many questioning how and why it has happened. The circumstances in certain cases have been eerily similar, with three people who all worked in New Mexico suddenly leaving their houses on foot without taking wallets, IDs or essentials with them. A fourth person, an aerospace engineer in California, disappeared on a hiking trail, feet away from her friends. One common thread links their work — a retired US Air Force Major General who also left his home on foot on the morning of Feb. 27–
