CBS to Pay Trump MASSIVE Sum in Election
Interference Case

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 7/2/2025 1:42:16 PM

What happens when a network gets caught red-handed trying to polish Kamala Harris’s trademark incoherence into something vaguely intelligible? CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, just learned the answer, and the fallout is nothing short of devastating. In a major legal victory, President Trump has secured a massive settlement over the now-infamous edited Harris interview — a payout so large and humiliating that it should shake the legacy media to its foundation. This isn’t just a win for Trump. It’s a blunt warning to every media outlet thinking about running cover for a flailing administration. The trouble began last October, when Trump filed suit against CBS and Paramount

WOW!! A $30m judgemental and a new Trump Rule for broadcast interviews?? More winning!!!

I hear they don't actually pay Trump but will be donated to the Trump Presidential Library. I think that's perfect, they can ensure there is a section dedicated just to this type of sleazy journalism in his Library that they actually funded.

The best news yet, the media continues to confirm that it is Fake News and biased as the courts judge and condemn their actions, even as they whine that they are not and are being maligned. The damage being done to their reputation is approaching fatal. Their ratings and revenues continue to collapse as their attack memes crumble almost as soon as they are released. The bean counters are seeing the Leftist "talent" as a liability instead of a profit point. The media are companies and they cannot afford to be in financial freefall. Plus, Trump has taken away some of their press seats. Talk about a hissy fit. It's a delight to see the arrogant prima donnas get taken down.

CBS probably has insurance for this sort of thing unless the insurance company can prove the slander was deliberate. That might let them off the hook since deliberate acts are usually not covered. I can't speak as to what coverage is in their policy but however it goes..insurance company pays or CBS has to pay out of pocket, the network may find it a hard time dodging a huge premium increase or actual cancellation. Slander or defamation is a tricky type of coverage and there are on;y a few carriers who handle this like Lloyds or specialty companies providing it for risks involving big news organizations.

“Star Wars” actor Kenneth Colley has died. He was 87. Colley, who played Admiral Piett in “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi,” passed away peacefully on Monday at his home in Ashford, Kent, his agent Julian Owen confirmed to The Post. “Ken Colley was one of our finest character actors with a career spanning 60 years,” Owen said in a statement to The Post. Owen confirmed that Colley was admitted to the hospital with an injured arm after a fall. The British actor quickly contracted COVID which developed into pneumonia. Colley had friends by his side when he died, Owen said.

President Donald Trump’s push to help Americans over the age of 65 may be possible with a provision in the “big, beautiful bill,” which passed the Senate on Tuesday. Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers noted that the bill “delivers on President Trump’s promise of No Tax on Social Security,” providing the “largest tax break in American history for our nation’s seniors.” “The One Big Beautiful Bill provides a new bonus deduction of $6,000 for seniors age 65 and older ($12,000 for married seniors) beginning in 2025,” the overview explained, noting the provision, which does not wipe out taxes on Social Security, would be in addition to current standard deductions.

Two radicalized Florida men have been arrested and charged in connection with a chilling plot to commit mass murder, foment political violence, and “bomb the White House,” according to court documents. Isaiah Oglesby, 23, and James Thomas Goolsby, 25, were taken into custody after the FBI was tipped off by a courageous girlfriend who recognized something deeply wrong in her boyfriend’s disturbing social media rants, FOX13 reported. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office followed through with a full investigation after the feds confirmed the suspects’ accounts. According to a criminal complaint reviewed by FOX13, the men’s social media accounts were littered with apocalyptic rhetoric, antisemitic and anti-Christian hate speech,

President Donald Trump's promised, signature legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB--cry more, Chuck), passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 218-214, on an expected party line vote (aside from the two Republicans who voted against it). The White House announced that Trump will sign the bill into law at 5:00 p.m. EST on Independence Day, July 4. Love the bill or hate it, as former VP Biden said when Barack Obama's the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) legislation passed, this is a big, effin' deal. Probably an even bigger one. It took Nancy Pelosi over nine months to ram through Obamacare,

Ben & Jerry's has a charitable foundation? Who knew? Well, they do, and apparently they have been giving money to pro-Palestinian organizations, or at least that's what parent company Unilever thinks, and the ice cream brand founded by old hippies and marketed to old hippies has been resisting (hah) allowing their parent company to audit their records. So Unilever is yanking their funding. Unilever is reportedly cutting off millions of dollars in funding to the Ben & Jerry’s charitable foundation after it refused to provide audit documents about donations to pro-Palestinian groups, escalating an internal dispute between a corporate parent and its left-leaning subsidiary.

It's a sad fact of life and an awful commentary on our broken culture that churches need to have armed security guards. But thank God that several men at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Mich., were armed and trained to respond to an attack. Their training and skills were put to the ultimate test on June 22, when Brian Anthony Browning, who was heavily armed and dressed in tactical gear, tried to enter the church. Their brave actions likely prevented the mass slaughter of Christians who were at the church that day to celebrate their annual Vacation Bible School program.

Twenty-four House Democrats have called on the Trump administration to close down “Alligator Alcatraz,” a brand-new illegal alien detention facility built in the Florida Everglades. Led by Democratic Reps. Janelle Bynum (OR) and Maxwell Frost (FL), the House Democrats demanded that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Todd Lyons shut the facility down. In the letter, the lawmakers called the facility an “inhumane stunt.” “This remote swamp is notorious for oppressive heat, relentless humidity, severe storms, and perilous terrain infested with venomous snakes, disease-carrying insects, and large predatory wildlife, including alligators and crocodiles,” they wrote.

If you want to understand the full scope of the Biden administration’s border catastrophe, look no further than the horrifying reality that unfolded for thousands of migrant children. Under Joe Biden, the federal government didn’t just lose track of unaccompanied minors; it actively handed them over to criminals, abusers, and traffickers, putting these kids directly in harm’s way. Under Biden, the Department of Homeland Security placed unaccompanied migrant children with so-called “sponsors” who were barely vetted, if at all. These weren’t just distant relatives or family friends. In many cases, these sponsors had rap sheets a mile long — charges ranging from aggravated assault

The Pentagon has halted shipments of some previously promised munitions to Ukraine at a key juncture of the country’s war with neighboring Russia due to the depletion of U.S. stockpiles during the Biden administration. In news that was first reported by Politico, the decision was made after a review of munitions stockpiles “leading to concerns that the total number of artillery rounds, air defense missiles and precision munitions was sinking,” according to the usual anonymous sources of “three people familiar with the issue.” The decision was driven by Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, an appointee of President Donald J.

President Donald Trump must allow illegal migrants to file for asylum, regardless of the impact on his mandate to raise deportation rates, says a district court judge in Washington, D.C. The administration must also “provide relief” to recently deported migrants who may want to file for asylum in the United States, the Wednesday judgment says. The ruling by Judge Randolph Moss may crash Trump’s deportation policy because it would force officials to release migrants, or detain them at great expense while judges consider asylum pleas. The judgment will be appealed, but it argues that the pro-asylum laws passed by Congress decades ago override Trump’s January 20 proclamation, “Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion.”

Bombshell CIA Report Exposes How Obama’s

The new CIA assessment released this week is nothing short of a bombshell—a long-overdue confirmation of what conservative media has been saying for years: The Obama administration, with the eager help of its top intelligence brass, orchestrated an unprecedented operation to cripple Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began. This isn’t some fevered speculation or partisan rumor. The CIA’s own review lays out, in damning detail, how former CIA Director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, and former FBI Director James Comey took “unusual” and direct control over the infamous Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that became the cornerstone of the Russia collusion hoax.

Andrew Cuomo on his way to a victory that is still sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party establishment and beyond. Now, the debate rages over who Mamdani really is. Is he antisemitic or just pro-Palestinian? Is he anti-ICE or just pro-immigrant? However, one thing seems to be increasingly clear. Mamdani is a serious Marxist and that should concern anyone in New York City.

If you thought the spectacle of Biden behind a podium was a thing of the past, think again. This week, the former president emerged from his Delaware cocoon to deliver the keynote at the Society for Human Resource Management’s convention in San Diego. A couple of months ago, it was revealed that he was having trouble booking speaking gigs — probably because no one was going to fork over the $300,000 speaking fee reportedly attached to his name. The Society for Human Resource Management must have had a Groupon code. So what kind of wisdom did Ol’ Joe share? Biden was asked about what he’s doing these days. His answer?

A new CIA assessment was released on Wednesday that shows how far the Obama administration went to stand up the Russian collusion hoax. John Ratcliffe announced that "all the world will finally see the truth" before name-dropping James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey as those primarily implicated in the scheme. All three men took "unusual" direct roles in shaping the now-infamous ICA that was released during the presidential transition following the 2016 election. It was that report that would form the building block of the Russian collusion narrative and eventually lead to a special counsel investigation.

The great thing about what's being referred to as "Alligator Alcatraz" is that it's not just a fantastic detention facility for illegal immigrants ready for deportation, situated out in the Florida Everglades where you're more likely to run into a predatory creature all the way from the Triassic period than a human, but it's also a meme. How could something that awesome not be? The facility is one accidental open door away from being a Michael Crichton book, encouraging everyone there to stay put to stay safe, and while everyone else thinks this is one of the coolest things in America now, the left is doing what it does
