In the last month, dozens of layoffs were announced at outlets including NBC News, Time magazine, Business Insider and The Los Angeles Times — the last of which saw more than 100 employees cut.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has restored some pro-life Facebook accounts following a letter that was sent to the company from a legal team at the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) emphasizing free speech.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently pledged to do more to support free speech.
The Facebook and Instagram accounts for pro-life news site LifeNews.com, LifeNews founder Steven Ertelt, and pro-life mom Abby Covington were brought back online this week following a months long suspension, The Daily Wire reported.
According to Tom Fitton, General Milley met with Merrick Garland and pressured him to target domestic threats and alleged far-right militia groups. They discussed Donald Trump. Milley wanted Donald Trump and his supporters, his fellow Americans, targeted.
This is an entirely unprecedented meeting and request. What he calls far-right militia ended up being parents, Christians, and Trump supporters in general. Milley and Garland had no concern about communist-anarchist groups of Antifa and Soros-funded Black Lives Matter.
We have the military conspiring with the DoJ. They flouted FOIA to hide information about the meeting.
A Tennessee college revealed that racist messages found written on campus were fabricated by a student in an apparent attempt to make Donald Trump supporters look bad.
Rhodes College confirmed to Fox News Digital that a student had admitted to leaving the messages strewn about campus that were found over Thanksgiving break and were being investigated as a hate crime. Instead, it turned out to be yet another race hoax.
"Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Campus Safety officers and the Memphis Police Department, the investigation into the hate crime that occurred recently on our campus has ended with the identification of the perpetrator and the conclusion this incident was fabricated.
The White House ordered the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a federal regulatory agency, to expand its use of "Indigenous Knowledge" on Monday, as part of a last-minute push in the federal government to embrace what scientists call pseudoscience. (snip) "Indigenous Knowledge" is a discredited belief system positing that native-born peoples possess an innate understanding of how the universe works. While scientists have referred to its ideas as "dangerous" and a rejection of the scientific method, those criticisms have not stopped the Biden administration from ordering the federal government to consider "Indigenous Knowledge" when implementing rules and regulations.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) is contending people “can’t complain” about President-elect Donald Trump‘s Cabinet picks given Trump signaled he would make such picks before he was elected.
Romney, a longtime critic of the president-elect, is leaving the Senate in January, after one term representing Utah. He said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday that since Trump won the election “overwhelmingly,” he should be given a chance to enact the policies he desires. “Donald Trump won. He won overwhelmingly. He said what he was going to do, and that’s what he’s doing."
On Thursday, Daily Wire reporter James Lalino revealed the Bidenistas are rushing the sale of massive amounts of border material to auction. Panels will be offered for as cheap as five cents a panel.
It’s more of the Biden regime’s effort to make Donald Trump’s transition “smooth.”
The Daily Wire posted a video of the panels being carted away from the border.
The panels are being removed from hotbeds of illegal crossings. This is treasonous.
It’s still America in Texas. According to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, they plan to buy the materials and give them to Donald Trump.
In an interview on “Meet the Press,” President-elect Donald Trump outlined his plan for immigration policy, emphasizing deportation for those in the United States illegally. Trump expressed a commitment to removing illegal immigrants, starting with those who have committed crimes and expanding to others without specifying which crimes would be prioritized. This approach may also involve U.S. citizens choosing to leave with family members who are undocumented. Trump’s stance reiterates a key aspect of his campaign platform. He also suggested terminating birthright citizenship via executive action, forecasting potential legal opposition.
John Lennon: Musician, advocate...closet Republican?
The singer's former assistant claims in a new documentary that Lennon was a Ronald Reagan fan and a conservative at the time of his death.
The Toronto Sun reports that Fred Seaman, Lennon's assistant from 1979 until his death in 1980, made the revelations in the documentary "Beatles Stories."
"John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on Jimmy Carter," Seaman reportedly told filmmaker Seth Swirsky.
A judge ruled that the US Navy can keep racial preferences. Marxist DEI is alive and well in the Navy. Meritocracy is dead if this isn’t overturned.
Donald Trump and his Cabinet can’t get into office soon enough. US Senior District Judge Richard D. Bennett of Maryland on Friday allowed the US Naval Academy to keep considering applicants’ race and ethnicity in its admission practices, calling the issue a matter of national security.
Usually, meritocracy is the best way to protect national security. We should have the best candidates in our Navy.

A Virginia realtor is facing the possibility of having his license revoked over social media posts as concerns mount about the status of free speech for those working in real estate and other professions.
Wilson Fauber, a Staunton, Virginia-based realtor with a career spanning four decades, appeared before the Virginia Association of Realtors on Wednesday in a hearing to determine whether he violated the National Association of Realtors’ Standard of Practice 10-5. Adopted in 2020, the standard declares that realtors “must not use harassing speech, hate speech, epithets, or slurs based on race, color, religion, sex disability, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”
A Massachusetts judge who was criminally charged during President-elect Donald Trump's first administration with impeding a federal immigration arrest of a defendant in her courtroom is now being accused by state judicial disciplinary authorities of engaging in willful misconduct.
The Massachusetts Judicial Conduct Commission on Monday filed formal charges against Judge Shelley Joseph related to the same conduct that was at issue in the criminal case, which prosecutors agreed to drop in 2022 after Trump left office in exchange for her referring herself to disciplinary authorities.
President Joe Biden on Sunday night pardoned his son Hunter on gun and tax charges, breaking a promise he had made to voters.
The clemency was announced by the White House, which included a statement from the 46th president.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," Biden wrote in a statement. "From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted."

Sen. Lindsey Graham said he doesn’t approve of President Trump’s pardoning of the Jan. 6 rioters, especially those who “beat up cops” who were defending the Capitol.
“No,” Graham said, when asked whether he’s okay with the most violent offenders on Jan. 6 getting pardoned, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I’ve always said that I think when you pardon people who attack police officers, you’re sending the wrong signal to the public at large, and that’s not what you want to do to protect cops,” Graham continued. “But he has that power.”
A “Calexit” initiative to allow California to secede from the United States has been cleared to legally gather signatures. If passed, the proposed measure — “Calexit,” a nod to the Brexit vote in the UK — would be on the ballot in 2028 and ask voters: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?” For the measure to pass, at least 50% of registered voters must participate in the election, and at least 55% — or more than 500,000 people, must vote “yes” by July 22.
Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” warned the Trump administration that his local law enforcement “will stand up for those law-abiding, undocumented people” facing deportation.
Host Dana Bash said, “How are you preparing, particularly if they do target schools, churches and small businesses as they are now allowed to do?”Pritzker said, “Well, let me start by being clear that when we’re talking about violent criminals who have been convicted and who are undocumented, we don’t want them in our state. We want them out of the country. We hope they do get deported. And if that’s who they’re picking up, we’re all for it.
Furious Donald Trump has hit back at Colombia and vowed to immediately impose an 'emergency 25% tariff on all goods'. Trump has lashed out at Colombia President Gustavo Petro after two U.S. military C-17 aircraft flights from California with 80 Colombian migrants each were not allowed to land. The flights werre initially cleared for landing but President Petro decided to revoke all diplomatic clearances, according to officials. Responding on Truth Social, Trump laid out his drastic measures, insisting this was "just the beginning" in a worrying threat.
On Sunday afternoon, he wrote: "I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals,
In this episode of "The Sniveling Nonsense of Adam Schiff"...
In the unlikely event that California Democrat Senator Adam Schiff has ever missed an opportunity to make a fool out of himself, I'm not aware of it. From continually promising (lying) to reveal smoking-gun evidence that Hunter Biden's infamous laptop was a Russian plot — which he never produced — to outrageous unfounded charges about the Jan. 6 Capitol ,to now beclowning himself as President Donald Trump's deportation of illegal aliens gets underway, the ever-smug Schiff is all over it.
Schiff whined on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that deporting illegals who steal is “terrible overreach.”
President Donald Trump (won't get tired of typing that for a long time) has done so much, so fast, that it's hard to believe. He's 78 years old but seems to have the energy of a much younger man. He has signed a huge host of executive orders, many of them revoking the previous administration's policies. He has engaged the press in free-wheeling, unscripted conversations. (Snip) The man is a flippin' prodigy. So much so, in fact, that we sometimes forget that there was another guy who served four years as president, and in between the two non-consecutive Trump terms, at that.
What was his name again?
Former President Joe Biden, who is Catholic, joined a historically black Freemason lodge just one day before he left the presidency, an offense punishable by excommunication in the Church.
Biden was conferred with “Master Mason membership” and “full honors” on Jan. 19 at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, according to the Conference of Grand Masters announcement. Joining the Freemasons as a Catholic forbids an individual from receiving communion, with the potential for excommunication, according to canon law of the Catholic Church.
When CBS announced that it landed the first post-inaugural interview with Vice President JD Vance, with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation, many conservatives questioned why Vance would even give the time of day to hateful “legacy” media. Within minutes, we had our answer.
The interview wasn’t very wide-ranging, with Brennan honing in on those spots where she could try to put Vance on his back foot. The first question set the tone: MARGARET BRENNAN: Pete Hegseth, it was a tie, bipartisan opposition, smallest margin since the job was created. You had to break that tie. If the nominee can't unite your party, how is he going to lead

An announcement surfaced online Friday, issued the Conference of Grand Masters of Prince Hall Lodge Freemasonry, and stating that the Grand Lodge of South Carolina had conferred membership on President Joe Biden. According to the announcement, dated Jan. 19 — the day before Biden left office — the president was granted a “resolution of membership” by the lodge
A young black woman recently recorded a vulgar rant calling for the assassination of President Trump and falsely claiming that “maybe, if you shoot him, maybe the next president will give you a pardon for it, and you’ll be released out of jail.”
“We’re not doing that grazing his skin, his ear s***, okay? We’re going full-blown Lincoln, full-blown Kennedy right now,” the woman said.
“I don’t give a f*** anymore. I mean, you obviously know that because I’m posting this,” she continues. “Someone get up there. I need someone with precision that knows what they’re doing.”
It is unclear exactly when the clip was recorded, but she references the attempted assassination
America is headed for a depopulation crisis.
That, at least, is the major takeaway of a new report released this month by the Congressional Budget Office. According to the CBO, if current trends continue, American deaths will outnumber American births in a mere eight years. With a united Republican government, we have an opportunity to address this upcoming crisis by building on the economic success of President Trump’s first term and making it easier for Americans to start or expand their families.
President Donald Trump indicated Saturday that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and send the bombed-out Palestinian refugees from there to neighboring Middle Eastern nations.
During an extended question-and-answer on Air Force One, President Trump floated the idea of moving Palestinians to create a clean slate.
“I’d like Egypt to take people,” the president said, the AP reports, adding, “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”
