Voter ID and The Constitution

By Rich Kozlovich

On April 26, 2025  posted this article at Liberty Nation News, Voter ID: Where the President, the People and the Constitution Stand, saying "popular doesn’t necessarily equal constitutional".

He goes on to explain:

DC District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly  ruled that states don’t have to make voters show ID at the polls or show proof of citizenship to register. Trump is a fan of voter ID requirements, and so are most Americans, according to polling. But if the Constitution doesn’t support that position, then neither public opinion nor the president’s order makes it legal.

First, the DC District is filled with leftist political hacks, and she's one of them.  He then goes on to point out the Constitution defines the rules governing the federal government's role in national elections quoting the first paragraph of Article I, Section 4 which reads:

“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”

He went on to explain:

Each state is explicitly granted the authority to determine when, where, and how US senators and representatives are elected. Then there’s an exception to that authority: Congress can legislate it at any time (well, all except the polling places). Note the lack of authorization for a president to override the states. The federal government can step in, but it has to be through the standard legislative process ......

He goes on to justify Judge Kollar-Kotelly's ruling noting there's nothing in the Constitution that allows the President to short circuit the legislative process, and she's right, but since when did that matter to the judiciary?  All of a sudden the leftist hacks in the federal judiciary are in love with the actual wording in the Constitution, incapable of seeing any penumbras or emanations of the Constitution to justify the President imposing voter ID on the states.  

Penumbras and emanations of the Constitution is a concept created by the judiciary, that also appears nowhere in the Constitution, but it allows them to bypass the legislative process in order find imaginary rights in order to impose laws on the nation no one passed, like the abortion, and the Chevron decisions.  It's kinda like how Hollywood twists inconvenient history in their movies with the attitude, "if it didn't happen that way, it should have".  

Yet, clearly it was the intent of the Founding Fathers that only citizens should be allowed to vote.  So, why wouldn't that justify taking the position the President was merely enforcing an unwritten law.  An unwritten law that was an obvious and understood unwritten law.  An unwritten law that didn't need to be written through the legislative process? 

Andrea posted this article in 2021, Clarence Thomas identifies the greatest danger in America, saying :

Article III of the Constitution of the United States establishes a “supreme Court.” .........While Art III limits somewhat the nature of the cases the Supreme Court may hear, it does not impose any checks or balances on the Supreme Court’s power.  Then, in 1803, Chief Justice John Marshall extended the Court’s power, holding that Article III’s grant of authority inevitably gave the Court the power to overturn unconstitutional legislation. The result is a Supreme Court that has freely rewritten the Constitution to achieve political ends—and turned the Court itself from what should be a neutral judicial institution into one that has become the partisan center of D.C.

The Constitution gave Justice Marshall no such authority. The Constitution says the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary is in the hands of the Congress, not the Supreme Court. 

The public is hugely in favor of Voter ID with 98% of Republican, 84% of independents and 67% of Democrats in support.  Five states already require it, another 40 are considering doing so, and currently there's legislation introduced by Rep. Chip Roy of Texas that's passed the House called "The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act", that's in the Senate.  But it must meet the 60-vote threshold to get voted on.  Why 60 votes?  

In 1975, the Senate reduced the number of votes required for cloture from two-thirds of senators voting to three-fifths of all senators duly chosen and sworn, or 60 of the current 100 senators. Today, filibusters remain a part of Senate practice, although only on legislation.

Will it pass the Senate?  Who knows?  If all 53 Republicans sign on, including Murkowski, Collins, Mitch McConnell, which is iffy, that would take seven Democrats to cross over.  Given the mental and moral unfitness of so many Republicans in the Senate, I don't think it can happen unless at least a minimum of ten Democrats cross over, and I really don't see that happening.

So, why is it the courts can't find even one tiny little penumbra, or just one minuscule emanation to justify Trump's policy?  Because  the federal judiciary is rife with incompetent, not very bright, corrupt political hacks who can't be fired.  That's what needs changing.

They're political hacks who share the same kind of disrespect for the rule of law as do all the leftist political hacks justifying Judge Hannah Dugan's illegal attempt to prevent ICE from arresting an illegal alien claiming, "judges....., cannot be arrested for imposing “moral” law on the nation through their virtuous actions."

They're wrong!

P&D and The Week That Was

 Truth is the Sublime Convergence of History and Reality

De Omnibus Dubitandum, (Everything is to be questioned!)

This Link will take you to My Commentaries.

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Well, it seems clear AOC is running for President in 2028, which should make Little Chuckie Schumer happy since she won't be running against him for his Senate seat.  And the Democrats and their catspaws in the Pravda media will resoundingly proclaim she's remarkably qualified.  Like Whoopie Goldberg claimed Jill Biden should be Surgeon General because she was a great doctor.  Except her degree is in education.  

However, AOC graduated cum laude from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in international relations and economics.  And she so impressed potential employers in those fields, she got hired to be a bartender.  What better qualifications could there be to run the world's biggest economy and military?  Right?  

But a legitimate military man, Hegseth, is unqualified to be Secretary of Defense. Ya just gotta see the humor in that, and the flack he's taking is hot and heavy against him.  So he must be doing something right, because when a bomber is directly over the target, that's when the flack is the heaviest.  

Senator Kennedy recently said the strategy for defeating AOC was to just let her talk, and that she’s the reason they have directions on shampoo bottles. An astute observation.  But…… beyond that …… the Democrat party has ….. baggage…. lot’s of baggage. Baggage she, or whomever they choose will have to defend, and the Pravda media can’t bail them now since no one cares or believes what they say. In my view the only concern Republicans have is voter fraud.

The back room boys know they’ll have to get Scotty to replicate and beam down hundreds of thousands of false ballots to win with their bench. Cory Booker, Gavin Newsom, AOC, Buttigieg, Walz, Rahm Emanuel, Kamala, Jasmine Crockett, and Josh Shapiro. What a bench.  It will be interesting to watch how they overcome all that baggage, and each other. 

I think this cartoon defines their situation. No leader, no message, and no agenda.  Rude, crude, and stupid isn't a winning strategy.

What’s interesting is Trump has only been in office for three months, an incredible three months I might add, and we’re already talking about the 2028 election. 

Wow!  A major announcement!  It's possible life been discovered on a distant planet!  Nah, as you read this it becomes obvious what they really found was nothing. On a personal note, I love all this kind of stuff, but so what? Here’s what it’s really about. Funding. Ya can’t keep getting billions of dollars and find nothing. And when they find something, it still turns out to be nothing. But nothing can be reinforced with speculation, which makes nothing look like something, and something generates a lot of talk. And a lot of talk generates funding, which really is something.

Pope Francis has died, and we're seeing accolades pour in, and we're seeing history being cited about who he supported and what he supported, that are not so laudatory.  Unlike the type of responses vile leftist cretins spew out when a conservative passes,  conservatives will not be dancing in the streets over his passing, and no one should.  Having said that, I have huge files on just about everything that faces humanity to use as source pieces, and I will have my own commentary on his history.  History is everything, and history will not be kind to this Pope.  As Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂ², a very traditional Catholic who he had excommunicated says, "he will have to account for the crimes he's committed." 

Recently Little Chuckie Schumer who is desperate to get back into the good graces of the radical base stated that if Trump “disobeys” SCOTUS there will be consequences", which is rich since during the Obama and Biden administrations they went out of their way to get the most radical and corrupt political hacks appointed to the federal bench, and then threatened anyone who disobeys their corrupt rulings.

For those interested, I’ve tried to keep track of all these judges and their decisions. The rot is deeper, farther, and wider than we realized until now.   There are two options to fix this effort in judicial insurrection.   Congress steps in and exerts their Constitution authority to determine the jurisdiction of the courts, which the judiciary has been unconstitutionally usurping by making up the rules over jurisdiction to enhance their power without Congressional input or approval, and that needs to be brought to an end.  

If that doesn’t happen I have to believe in order to save the nation the Trump administration will have to invoke the Jacksonian strategy. “They made their decisions, now let them enforce them.”  No matter what clabber these judges spew out, the Constitution gives the federal judiciary no enforcement authority at all. Constitutionally all enforcement authority is in the domain of the Executive.  All of which needs to be followed up with a Constitutional amendment that imposes term limits and more clearly defines the jurisdiction of the courts. 

I have nine posts of my own and twenty three by others today.  I've really devoted most of my efforts on the Pravda media, and I think you will find them worth a look or two.  

My very best wishes to all those of good will and honest hearts.

Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Useful Idiots and Paid Lackeys, Part XIV

Does anyone doubt this is a conspiracy of useful idiots and paid lackeys?

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags:

In a letter by Thomas Jefferson to his friend Walter Jones he made clear his feeling about the abuses of the "free press" in 1814 saying:

“I deplore … the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity and the mendacious spirit of those who write for them… These ordures are rapidly depraving the public taste and lessening its relish for sound food. As vehicles of information and a curb on our functionaries, they have rendered themselves useless by forfeiting all title to belief… This has, in a great degree, been produced by the violence and malignity of party spirit.” 

Nothing has changed, nor it will ever change, regarding the lack of integrity in the media! It has been so from their founding, and will continue to be so until the end of time.  But right now, today, because of modern communications, they have more easily, and more thoroughly, corrupted the nation's perception of reality with the stench of their morality, and stunning level of hypocritical ignorance.  

Worse yet, they work diligently to prevent anyone from exposing their perfidy!  As an example, YouTube suspended  One America News Network channel for what they're calling misinformation violations for COVID-19 policy.  That's a convenient way of saying anything that disagrees with the leftist agenda, AKA, free speech, is misinformation and must be censored.    Yet they have little trouble promoting outright lies.  Those don't count because those lies promote false leftist narratives.

Calling them sewer trout would be an insult to trout and to sewers, since both serve a useful purpose.  

Useful Idiots

The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal,  NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN, all are losing readership or viewership in droves and being forced to scale back as a result.  Alot of big names and a lot of staff are being sent out into the cold, hard, real world, and it's been interesting to see the consequences for them.   When was the last time you heard anything from Chris Wallace after he decided to forego his seven million dollar a year salary in order to podcast.   

And why did Chris Wallace leave?  Because at 77, he was "eager to see what a transformed media environment has to offer, and neither he or his family want him to retire, and he wants more control over what he produces", which of course will undoubtedly be "unbiased".  

Yeah right!  While I'm sure he's more than financially secure, it still comes down to this.  If he had been able to carry his weight at CNN, he'd still be there, and since he couldn't, what makes him think he can carry the freight on his own?

In order to continue to parrot leftist themes there are shows like The View, which is:

".... one of the most insufferable programs on daytime television, the mecca from where the most miserable, wine-drinking liberal women come to cope and seethe about a second Trump presidency. It’s also prime territory for epic meltdowns, abject stupidity, racism, and all-around strangeness".

In one episode of The View Sunny Hostin claimed voter ID prevents blacks from voting, which implies black people are too dumb to figure out how to get an ID to vote.  Amazing!  Blacks don't seem to have a problem getting driver's licenses and bank accounts requiring ID's, so why would voter ID rules prevent them from voting?  But, she's on The View, which pretty much tell you all you need to know on the dumb chart.

Their Philosophy

The criminal's first rule is, "never give up on the con", and the media lives that.  The reason why Kamala lost the election was because TikTok stole Kamala’s presidency, and in spite of all the facts that have poured out about Joe Biden's mental condition,  a former CNN editor still tried to claim "the media did not act in bad faith".   Not in bad faith?  The only faith they have is bad, just like America's Smeagol, James Carville, who outrageously claimed Trump's White House argument with Zelenskyy was because Trump has syphilis.  How disgusting can they get?  There's no boundaries on the left. 

Is it any wonder the Pravda media is dying, and the reason why is simple, no one trusts them.  They're not devoted to truth, justice, and the American way, they're devoted to destroying Trump, and the traditional values that made America great, and now millions are abandoning them for alternative news sources, and those sources are now in charge of the news. 

But in spite of their woes, will the Pravda media reflect on their misdeeds? No! 

A legacy of lies which Tim Pool drives home at a White House Press Corp meeting saying:

“Many of the news organizations represented in this room have marched in lock step on false narratives, such as the ‘very fine people’ hoax, the Covington smear,” Pool said, prefacing his first official question to Awesome White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. “And now, the ‘Maryland man’ hoax, where an MS-13 gang member, adjudicated by two different judges, I believe, is simply being referred to as a ‘Maryland man’ over and over again.”  “In an effort from the White House to expand access to new companies, you’ve created this New Media Seat. … I’m wondering if you can comment on that unprofessional behavior, as well as elaborate on if there’s any plans to expand access to new [media] companies.”

The author then says:

Other than the Doocy kid, why are all these lying people (He didn't say people here) allowed to sit up front when they should be standing in the back cupping their ears like nursing home patients late for Bingo?   Contempt. Contempt. Contempt. The legacy media only deserve contempt......which is crucial in our noble crusade to someday enjoy the lamentations of their women.

Why do they persist in their insanity?  This Current List of Media’s Anti-Social Positions Explains So Much About What Is Wrong With Them:

The national media outlets and the Democrats are currently mired in a conjoined, downward spiral. The public approval of both entities has been eroding, and the main cause is in the way that they are interlocked. Neither shows interest in addressing - let alone repairing  - the problem. Instead, the Dems and the press appear convinced their entrenched activism and anti-Trump positioning will see them through...

As for Public Broadcasting:

  1. Law Professor Jonathan Turley Says it’s Time to Shut Down the Taxpayer Funded ‘Gravy Train’ for NPR
  2. End the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
  3. FCC’s Brendan Carr Advances Investigation into NPR, PBS Running ‘Prohibited’ Ads
Senator Kennedy of Louisiana once commented about our policy of giving money to nations who hate us asking, "Why are we giving money to countries that hate America? They should be able to hate us for free."   I think that's a philosophy that should apply to NPR and Corporation for Public Broadcasting also.

But, like criminals, they just can't give up the con promoting claims of doom and gloom, having epileptic fits over anything Trump says turning everything into a crisis.  Defending rouge judges who support illegal immigration and decisions that promote voter fraud, and the list goes on and on, but this time nobody is listening

Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Print Media, Part XIII

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags:
 
As we watch the Pravda electronic media gasping it's last breaths and with a total lack of self reflection challenging alternative media types by asking if they think they're real journalists. Anyone who proclaims they're from the Pravda media, either electronic or print, is in effect publicly stating:
 
"I'm a corrupt lying brain damaged puppet, which is why for four years I not only covered up Joe Biden's dementia, I vehemently denied it existed.  Also, I arrogantly, and smugly ridiculed any who dared to question it, and I did it with a smirk!"
 
But the left will always be the left, and they're now trying to rewrite and twist the history of the Biden presidency, but it just ain't playing well.  There's a new sheriff in town, and things are changing, and he's gonna make-em pay!
 
Trump is suing CBS for $20 billion over an interview with Kamala Harris that he claims was deceptively edited. CNN reports that execs at Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, have discussed a settlement in hopes of winning FCC approval for a proposed merger with Skydance Media, but the court battle is ongoing for now. (More 60 Minutes stories.)
 
Finally an adult has decided it's time for 60 minutes to start dealing in facts, not opinions.   The result?  The Executive Producer Resigns whining.  A producer who John Nolte called a documented serial liar.  And Nolte goes on the list the number of names that are crashing or out the door, and it's impressive saying:
 
And so, we can now add Bill Owens to our ever-growing list of Regime Media elites who have committed career suicide or just plain given up due to Trump Derangement Syndrome — Yes, 20 self-deportations:
  1. Ruth MarcusWashington Post columnist resigns.
  2. 538 – Disney/ABC’s wildly biased polling site shutters.
  3. Paul Krugman – Always wrong New York Times columnist forced out.
  4. Jim Acosta – CNN anchor forced out.
  5. Norah O’Donnell – Failed CBS anchor out.
  6. Chuck Todd – NBC’s former Meet the Press host DEI’d out.
  7. Andrea Mitchell – NBC harridan ages out of job.
  8. Chris Wallace – Son of Someone out at CNN.
  9. Joy Reid – Racist MSNBC anchor too racist for MSNBC. Fired.
  10. Neil Cavuto – Fox News anchor scurries away.
  11. Alex Wagner – Demoted at MSNBC.
  12. Ayman Mohyeldin – Lost MSNBC show.
  13. Olivia Nuzzi – Out at New York Mag for allegedly stalking RFK Jr.
  14. Katie Phang – Lost MSNBC show.
  15. Jonathan Capehart – Lost MSNBC show. Steps down from Washington Post editorial board.
  16. Lester Holt – Out as NBC Nightly News anchor.
  17. One-third of New York Times Editorial Board – Say, bye.
  18. Eugene RobinsonWashington Post columnist quits in snit.
  19. Ryan Lizza – Scurries to Substack over credible misconduct allegations.
  20. Bill Owens —60 Minutes chief resigns in crybaby disgrace.
The New York Times, with "All the News That's Fit to Print" motto, commonly called 'The Gray Lady", is not a lady, but a hag, and will always be the journalistic sewer it has been for the entire 20th century, and it will never change, and is still a hag.  
  1.  Report: NYT Journalist Has Regrets over Kavanaugh Coverage
  2. Charles Blow, Journalism’s Clunkiest DIE Hire, Out at the New York Times
  3.  NYT piece is oozing with fear.
  4.  New York Magazine crops black people out of Trump inauguration party photo, then reports "almost everyone is white"

On the other hand the L.A. Times heard the alarm clock and now they're really "woke". Woke up that is.  Legacy media giant reportedly shifting resources from left-wing paper to promote…a conservative press.  The publisher refused to allow his newspaper.... remember it's his newspaper.... to endorse Kamala Harris.  Why? Because it was clear she was in no way qualified to be President of the United State and he'd had enough, and demanded they print news, not their opinions.  And many quit.  

But the Washington Post is the best story regarding that kind of transformation.  

  • So, is Jeff Bezos really seeing the light? - Suddenly, the post-Trump Post will turn its opinions page toward ‘personal liberties’ and ‘free markets.’  Speaking of “free markets,” some outlets (WaPo, MSNBC, L.A. Times, etc.) are shelving their most radical leftists in favor of more consumer-friendly material.  While I don’t believe for a minute that Jeff Bezos has had a come-to-Jesus, road-to-Damascus epiphany, I do believe that he’s recognized that his paper’s hard-left whackadoodle opinions ran afoul of normal, everyday Americans, and therefore posed a long-term drag on his paper’s fortunes.

Bezos is reshaping the paper's opinion section, and the editor quit, and staff reject liberty and free markets. Someone named Jen Rubin left WaPo in order to make her living continuing to belittling Trump, and is being joined by other WaPo staff.  People  I never heard of, just like Ruth Marcus.   I'm betting the vast majority of America never heard of any of them.   Well, good luck with that, if WaPo couldn't make money spewing out their views, why would they think they can make money away from WaPo spewing out their views?   Perhaps they need to start practicing saying, "Welcome to McDonalds."

So, is Jeff Bezos really seeing the light? - Suddenly, the post-Trump Post will turn its opinions page toward ‘personal liberties’ and ‘free markets.’  Speaking of “free markets,” some outlets (WaPo, MSNBC, L.A. Times, etc.) are shelving their most radical leftists in favor of more consumer-friendly material.  While I don’t believe for a minute that Jeff Bezos has had a come-to-Jesus, road-to-Damascus epiphany, I do believe that he’s recognized that his paper’s hard-left whackadoodle opinions ran afoul of normal, everyday Americans, and therefore posed a long-term drag on his paper’s fortunes.

Of course the staff was outraged, who does he think he is?  Well, “there is nothing less tolerant than a leftist scorned.” 

Here’s my take regarding his road to Damascus conversion. Believe it or not, I think this a schadenfreude moment for Bezos.  He’s a nerd who never dreamed of ever being a major center of attention in the world, and he likes it. So, he’s not going to do anything that will diminish that.  He has new hottie on his arm he’s calling his fiance, working out to try and have a new look, and now a new position at the table that affirms he's important.  
 
I have no doubt, given the self righteous arrogance leftists spewed out over all this, he was smugly looked down on by the hired help. He knew it!  He resented it!  And now he’s made it clear: They’re the nobodies. They’re just hired help, and they don’t count!  Only he counts, and that’s what he really believes in.  My view of Bezos?   You wouldn’t want to go into battle with Bezos, or for Bezos.  
 
Final thought.  No matter what's unfolding now, know the corporate media will never reform, no matter what shifts they may be taking now.  The Pravda media is arrogant, overpaid, under smart, and they lie constantly!   That's the history of the media from time immemorial. They have history, and it's ugly.   One has to wonder if the Pravda media even sane?   Perhaps we should ask if they're not only insane, but are they treasonous?  
 
 "Treason is an ugly word and an even uglier crime. In simple language treason is the act of betraying one’s country to those who would destroy it and enslave its people. This definition is so simple that leftwing sophisticated journalists sneer at it. To them treason is merely relative with one country’s traitor being another country’s hero. This is the appalling moral and intellectual state of current Western journalism. The moral rot runs so deep that one despairs of living long enough to see any improvement." Gerard Jackson 

Historically, that's the centuries long foundationally social paradigm of the media at it's core, and any improvement is merely a temporary blip on the radar.  It's never gonna change. 

Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Big Tech Internet, Part XII

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags:

Let's start with this blatantly obvious truth,  The Press Pool is an illegitimate media cartel, and has been in effect the Pravda propaganda wing of the left and the Democrat party, unendingly playing the race card and they've even compare Zelenskyy to Jesus Christ.  But there's a new sheriff in town, and we're seeing a shift. 

Let's start with the internet since Google and Meta have manipulated our elections.  

These are not neutral parties, they're partisans, "with clear political agendas, using their unmatched market power to control electoral outcomes."

In an era where information is power, two corporate giants -- Google and Meta -- act as gatekeepers to the digital world, wielding their unprecedented market dominance not only to shape consumer habits but also to manipulate the very foundation of democracy: our elections,  ..............evidence is mounting that Big Tech is tipping the scales.........In 2019, psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein testified before Congress that manipulating Google’s search algorithm could have shifted at least 2.6 million votes toward Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election...........Meta, meanwhile, engages in a similar practice.........Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg has funneled hundreds of millions into “election integrity” initiatives that critics argue disproportionately benefit progressive turnout efforts. These are not accidents; they are patterns. The agenda is not hidden; it is embedded in the system.

But Big Tech doesn’t operate in isolation. Mainstream media and educational institutions -- many of which are funded or influenced by leftist titans like George Soros -- amplify this distortion. Outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times echo narratives that align with Big Tech’s curation, while universities produce graduates steeped in progressive orthodoxy.............Each revelation uncovers another layer of a system that is rotten to its core.........The first step is to break their power. Antitrust enforcement must be revived with strength: split Google’s search engine from its ad business, compel Meta to divest Instagram and WhatsApp, and impose strict transparency on algorithms.

But now that there's a new sheriff in town, nerves are being rattled, and Zuckerberg immediately reverts to the "Kyrie Eleison" of leftism: It's not my fault, It's not my fault, It's not my fault, Amen!  

After meeting with Stephen Miller, a key aide to President-elect Trump, he blamed "Sheryl Sandberg, former chief operating officer at Meta", for much of their misbehavior, and in a panic fires Meta’s left-wing executive Nick Clegg, replacing him with Joel Kaplan, a Republican.  Remarkable.  Are we to believe he didn't know Clegg was a left wing radical, and Sandberg was all in on DEI?   

But to show just how serious Zuck's conversion is, he removed the tampons from the mens room.  Wow! How much more does everyone need to realize he's now a Mega man?  Well, after meeting with Jim Jordan he eliminated their fact check program, who conservatives  considered to be biased at best, which destroyed their credibility, and that drove the left nuts.

But all this is tacit acknowledgement Zuck's boys really were practicing censorship, which according to him Biden officials screamed and cursed at us to censor ‘things that were true.  But he's learned his lesson. No more censorship.

  1. Huge Win for Free Speech’: Republicans Cheer Facebook’s Retreat from Censorship
  2.  Meta Mega-Reversal Zuck Promises Less Censorship to Get in Trump’s Good Graces

Sorry Mark, we’ve heard this all before. 

Facebook has implemented one of the most scandalous censorship efforts in American history. And now, we’re supposed to believe – after years of election interference and undeserved demonization – that they want to embrace free speech?

  1. No One Should Be Fooled by Zuckerberg’s Supposed About-Face on Trump
  2. ‘If you think Mark Zuckerberg is MAGA, then you’d fall for a stripper saying they love you.”
  3.  Epic Games CEO Blasts Big Tech for Being Fake Dems Now ‘Pretending’ to Be Republicans.

As for Google, they're still at it, and with impunity.   It seems to me they're just like the EU, while they insist they don't censor, if you dare disagree they'll censor you.

Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! MSNBC, Part XI

By Rich Kozlovich Tags:

Years ago there used to be reality cop shows, and the benefit of seeing what cops had to deal with daily.... hourly....  was encouraging.  Why?  Because you knew no matter what was going on in your life, it was much better than what was happening in much of the rest of the world.  The same is true for watching the Pravda media, including MSNBC.

It's a look into a "parallel universe".  A universe where only far left insanity is considered sane, and anything that smacks of traditional values is not only insane, but vile and hateful.   All whites, conservatives, Republicans, practicing Christians and Jews, are evil and must be ridiculed constantly.  

It's all make believe, nothing going on in reality changes their views, always believing they're the true voice of America.  In spite of their ratings collapse they still arrogantly and smugly act is if the nation cares what they're saying, but those who run MSNBC  know better, and there are penalties for ignoring reality....the loss of viewership, and the resulting funding that goes along with that.

As a result of their loss of viewership, it's become too costly to maintain their overpriced staff.  Top anchors faced huge pay cuts after Comcast cut ties with MSNBC:

That's bad news for the exorbitantly compensated and increasingly unhinged personalities who call the left-wing network home (for now). MSNBC and other declining television assets—but not the reality TV powerhouse Bravo—will be spun off into a new publicly traded company by the end of next year. That means MSNBC will soon be divorced from the ostensibly more serious and less overtly partisan NBC News, which routinely shares reportage, fact-checking (if you can call it that), and contributors with its sister network. Comcast brass on Wednesday told MSNBC staffers that  the network's name and peacock logo might not survive the breakup. The outrageously inflated salaries of the network's top anchors almost definitely won't.

 
Does all of this signal a shift in MSNBC’s editorial policies? No. They intend to continue their radical brainwashing of the limited audience they reach. They’re just going to do it with fresher faces who haven’t obliterated their credibility completely… at least not yet. Give it time. The new hosts be recycled as well once they’ve been proven to be just as wrong as their predecessors.  ‘My Show Had Value!’ — Joy Reid Melts Down After MSNBC Axes Her.............By way of example, she cites her promotion of Black Lives Matter and the anti-white 1619 Project, among other far-left causes.......“[A]nd where I come down on that is I’m not sorry,” she concluded.
 
Of course the fact she was unhinged, and her ratings were in the toilet isn't the real reason she was fired.  Oh no,....here it comes...and I know you're all going to be shocked.... it's because MSNBC is racist.  And we know that because Rachel Maddow "hints" they're racists, so if Rachel Maddow says it, then it must be true!  Right? There's talk MSNBC should be investigated for racism, and I agree.  It's clear they hate white people and something needs to be done about it. 

Here's a reality check on Rachel Maddow,  who loves everything about Reid saying she's learned so much from her and has so much more to learn, but isn't so outraged over her firing she's quitting her $25 million dollar a year job...which she hardly show up to do.... Reid was making a piddling three million a year... spewing out hate against whites and screaming nonsense about white supremacy. 
 
Running fast-and-loose with the truth is a much-heralded trait of Maddow, and her now departed former network colleague, Joy Reid. Reid, who was never at a loss for vile condemnations, was subject to an avalanche of critical comments on social media by viewers from both sides of the political aisle........
 
She also failed to mention MSNBC fired other propagandists, all shows no one was watching.   Marcus Ebenhack asks if Rachel Maddow just plain stupid?  Calling her the "left’s high priestess of political drama", the queen of Russiagate, implied J6 was an armed revolt and political violence, which it wasn't, and yet ignored the devastation caused by violent, destructive riots by Antifa and BLM that went on for a couple of years.  He ends saying:
 
 I’ll leave it at this: unless she is knowingly lying to her audience, then unequivocally, yes, she is just plain stupid. 

MSNBC, with their unending comparisons to Adolf Hitler, called Trump’s J6 pardons an effort to create an army of Brownshirts, and the "mostly peaceful" fire bombing attacks on Tesla dealerships protests. 

Both CNN, MSNBC  falsely called Garcia ‘Maryland Man’ 506 time in or order to conceal the fact he's here illegally.  He is not a citizen of the US and he's not a Maryland citizen.  Then they bring on that brilliant orator, Jasmine Crockett,  to defend Garcia, smear Trump, and then in turn praise her.  She cries.
 
Biden stranded those astronauts, but MSNBC spreads a massive lie about it.  The astronauts think Trump saved them. Lies cost, as MSNBC pays $30 million to settle defamation lawsuit, and that's a trend we're seeing across the board with the Pravda media.

Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! CNN, Part X

This has been sitting in my draft file for a couple of months, so some of this goes back a ways, but, it's history, and history is everything as we're seeing the Pravda media dying on the vine.  The cartoon is from this past week and sums up just about everything anyone needs to know about CNN.  CNN excels in a number of things.  Lies of commission, lies of omission, personal attacks, smears, fear mongering, and censorship. 

CNN, The Most Trusted Name in News, claims they're the guardians of truth, and they will decide what's truth tolerating no dissenting views.  Like this time when James Fishbeck challenged views about federal spending the host threatened to cut off his mic, and free speech on Facebook isn't desirable, claiming there's no one saying there's not enough free speech on Facebook.  Really?  Another CNN lie.  

The Most Trusted Name in News has been caught up in a lot of lies, and then have the nerve to say the really big problem is so many millions of people willing believe Trump's lies, none of which they bother to prove.  But they know Biden did not strand the astronauts Musk rescued, unfortunately for them the astronauts think differently.   The also know Joe Biden already fixed the border, and now Trump is just trying to take credit for all of it, and Trump no understanding about economics

And when the lies don't work, they resort to fear mongering.  If Trump purges these agencies, the Deep State bureaucrats are threatening to sell state secrets, including the CIA.  Yeah, and they'll end up in prison.  

Jake Tapper, who has been caught up in these lawsuits says,we're about to enter a period of deep fakes.   The Pravda media loves to smear people.  As in this case where a CNN Panel Tries to Smear Dan Bongino as not being qualified to be the number two man at the FBI, yet we've seen amazingly stupid people appointed to powerful positions, including the judiciary, by Joe Biden without a peep from CNN.   Bongino is a public figure and as a result of they can get away saying a lot about public figures.  But Sullivan doesn't apply to private citizens, such as Zachary Young, who they accused of corruption, and destroyed his business.

Fed-up Judge Savaged CNN Attorney in Network's Disastrous Defamation Case: 'This Isn't Kindergarten'- Along the way to CNN losing a major defamation lawsuit, the attorney representing the network received a blistering rebuke from the Florida judge overseeing the case. Zachary Young, who is a security consultant, sued the network alleging CNN “destroyed his reputation and business” by branding him an “illegal profiteer” who exploited “desperate Afghans” during a Nov. 11, 2021, report by the network’s senior national security correspondent Alex Marquardt on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Fox News reported.......

  “Your Credibility With Me Is About None”: CNN Trial Goes From Bad to Worse

 5 billion in punitive damages would make CNN start sounding unbiased - I read with great satisfaction that the Florida jury in Zachary Young’s defamation case against CNN awarded him $5 million in compensatory damages before deliberating about punitive damages .........  CNN’s lawyers almost instantly reached an undisclosed settlement with Young, avoiding any colossal punitive damages (which can’t be discharged in bankruptcy court). I was profoundly disappointed........
 
BREAKING: Jury Finds CNN “Committed Defamation Against Navy Vet Zachary Young” Jurors began deliberating after closing arguments were made on Thursday in a defamation lawsuit against CNN. The deliberations continued into Friday after the jury remained undecided late Thursday evening.  ‘The Most Trusted Name In News’ Guilty of Defamation.

Then there's the consequences for all this vile behavior.  Mass Lay-Offs amid tumbling ratings, to the tune of hundreds of employees.  Why? Their lies have caught up to them and viewership is crashing.  They kept catering to left-wing terrorism to appease a dwindling audience, and just can't seem to understand why they lost those viewers. 

CNN’s Acosta: GOP Should Have ‘Flat Out Rejected’ Trump, in an interview with Brad Todd Acosta was on a role saying the Republicans should have "flat out rejected" Trump.  From Kevin McCarthy to Mitch McConnell he asks how could the Republicans left him be the nominee.  And of course we know he was just trying to help the Republicans.  Right?  Well, unlike the chicanery performed by the Democrats, he was chosen by the base.  And it gets better.  

Acosta has always been an obnoxious jerk, and CNN liked it, at least until their ratings started to crash, and then CNN banished TDS-Afflicted Jim Acosta to time-slot ‘Siberia.  So little Jimmy threatened to quit, and it appeared no one cared.  It seems clear, even to little Jimmy, his days at CNN were numbered and he left.  He's gone, Kevin McCarthy's gone, and Mitch McConnell now sits in back of the boat, and is meaningless to the Republican party.  But the man he insisted should have been rejected, Donald Trump, is still there and he "is" the Republican party now.  

But Jimmy, Mitch, and Kevin aren't alone.  And a lot of people will be following them out the door, as CNN is desperate and big names are involved including Wolf Blitzer.  Time is not on CNN's side, and I expect to see it sold are fire sale prices.
