Without State-Run Media and Censorship,
Freedom Is Doomed

The joke is getting old, but it is still worth repeating: George Orwell's 1984 was not intended to be an instruction manual. But somehow it is. Freedom is slavery, illegals are "law-abiding," riots are "mostly peaceful," censorship is truth-preserving, and the state should run the media. When I read the liberal media (but I repeat myself), I fear getting whiplash from so much head shaking. The latest insanity that has my neck sore is the media's claim that National Public Radio and the Public Broadcast System not only deserve public money, but that defunding them is a threat to the free press. The First Amendment is dying because two

President Donald Trump says that if the violent Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots happening across the country are discovered to have central organizers or professional backing he would designate them foreign or domestic terror organizations, similar to what he did with Mexican cartels in February. "I would do that, and in a minute," Trump told Just the News, No Noise television show Wednesday. I would do that." Officially designating an organization as a terrorist group in the U.S. criminalizes providing material support, freezes assets, and restricts travel for members and supporters under laws such as the PATRIOT Act.
California’s High-Speed Boondoggle replies

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has terminated the remaining $4 billion of unspent federal funds for California’s beleaguered high-speed rail project. The move is well justified. In 2008, California voters approved a ballot measure that would allow the state to issue up to $9.95 billion in bonds to support an ambitious plan to build a high-speed rail system. But the state has not lived up to the promises made to its own voters who approved the measure and to the federal government. When it was sold to Californians 16 years ago, state rail officials presented a business plan that envisioned a sprawling 800-mile

On Thursday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rhode Island State Rep. Charlene Lima (D) stated that we should be “commending Mr. Homan and ICE for protecting our streets from these vile criminals” and law enforcement should be required to help ICE and face penalties if they don’t. Lima said, “What we should be doing is commending Mr. Homan and ICE for protecting our streets from these vile criminals, these child predators, fentanyl traffickers, these are bad people. And we have Mr. Homan and ICE coming in to protect our streets from these type of people, to keep our community safer.”

Key MAGA influencers who were critical of the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files are rallying behind President Donald Trump following the Wall Street Journal’s hit piece on the president, contending he sent a lewd letter to disgraced dead financier Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Journalist Megyn Kelly, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, and journalist Jack Posobiec were among the infleuncers who took to X on Thursday night to question the Journal’s report of an alleged letter Trump supposedly wrote to Epstein in 2003, which Trump says is “FAKE” and has vowed to sue the outlet, News Corp., and Rupert Murdoch over it.
Congress sends $9B spending cuts package

Congress is officially sending a package detailing $9 billion in spending cuts to President Donald Trump’s desk, minutes after midnight on Friday. The bill, called a "rescissions package," was approved by the House of Representatives in a late-night 216 to 213 vote after intense debate between Republicans and Democrats. Just two Republicans, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Mike Turner, R-Ohio, voted in opposition. Friday was also the deadline for passing the legislation, otherwise the White House would be forced to re-obligate those funds as planned. It’s a victory for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., but a mostly symbolic one

The mainstream media, print and broadcast, has largely ignored the fact that FOX News recently achieved an unprecedented milestone in the 75 year history of U.S. commercial television. FOX News not only has more viewers now than the other two mainstream cable news channels combined (Trump Derangement Syndrome channels CNN and MSNBC), but also for the first time is outranking the three major legacy commercial broadcast networks that also suffer from TDS (ABC, CBS, and NBC). As FOX News Media announced in a news release on July 15: During the week of July 7–13, FOX News Channel (FNC) averaged
HHS To End Medicare/Medicaid Funding

Live by the federal subsidy ... well, you know the rest. And if not, Robert Kennedy Jr just served up a big reminder. Republicans in Congress got thwarted in their attempt to defund providers delivering pediatric sex-change therapies. Instead, the HHS Secretary will act within his authority to deny Medicare and Medicaid funds to hospitals and clinics that provide these services, forcing them into a choice between funding for actual care and pandering to the extreme Left at the expense of children. National Review got the scoop: The Department of Health and Human Services will soon begin the rule-making process to prohibit the federal government from directly funding sex-trait modifications for minors

US President Donald Trump says he's ordered the US Justice Department to produce "all pertinent" grand jury testimony related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted minutes later: "We are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts." The development comes after days of sustained pressure from Trump's Make America Great Again (Maga) supporters demanding further disclosures in the Epstein case.

A “bawdy” letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing President Donald Trump’s signature was included in an album of letters Epstein received for his 50th birthday in 2003, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday evening, citing documents reviewed by the newspaper. The letter, which the Journal said Trump sent at the request of Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell, would have been written 16 years before the Justice Department charged the now-dead Epstein with child sex trafficking in 2019, during Trump’s first term in office. The missive, which Trump denied having written, came to light as the president angrily tries to tamp down

The media’s desire to make themselves the main character in the story reached the Platonic level on Wednesday as CBS correspondent Scott MacFarlane joined former moderator of NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd, on his appropriately named podcast: The Chuck Toddcast. According to MacFarlane, he was diagnosed with PTSD after the first assassination attempt against President Trump, not because of the shooting, but because of the reaction of Trump supporters. Meanwhile, Todd thought this was a completely reasonable thing to claim. MacFarlane recalled, “For those of us there, it was such a horror because

Connie Francis, the immensely popular mid-century pop singer known for teary ballads exemplified by “Who’s Sorry Now?” and jaunty, infectious near-novelty records “Stupid Cupid” and “Vacation,” died Wednesday. She was 87. Her statement was announced on Facebook by her publicist and longtime friend Ron Roberts. A cause was not disclosed, but Francis was recently hospitalized in Florida where she reported “extreme pain” after suffering a fractured hip. In today’s post, Roberts writes: “It is with a heavy heart and extreme sadness that i inform you of the passing of my dear friend Connie Francis last night. I know that Connie would approve that her fans are among the first
