Who Really is Donald Trump?

By Rich Kozlovich

Me and most of my conservative friends really don't like Trump on a personal level.  But we all thought he has the ability to be one of the greatest Presidents in the nation's history, and we believe that because what we want is less government (way less government), less taxes, less spending, the end of deficits and borrowing, start paying off the national debt, less regulations, and a President who will deliver that, and he's promised to be that deliverer .... sort of ... maybe. 

Well, America, we just might have a problem.

I keep wondering at the things Trump is doing and saying.  He's wanting to appoint some really strange people to important offices, like Bobby Kennedy, Jr., who is now, was in the past, and will be in the future a far left nitwit.  

He was the proverbial blind monkey who found a coconut because of his stand against the "vaccines" being forced on society for covid, which weren't real vaccines, since they didn't immunize the patient and didn't prevent transmission, which before this was the decades old definition for a chemical compound to be called a vaccine.   As for covid being a disaster, the only covid disaster was the tyrannous impositions governments all over the world put on their societies, and done so with a lot of lies and propaganda.  But the reality is he's against all vaccinations, so his stand against these covid shots that wasn't a strong moral stance against what was going on standing as a rock in the current.

Kennedy, if confirmed, will have control of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and, 'Kennedy has claimed Trump “promised” him “control of the public health agencies" and Trump delusionally claims:

"Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"  

Now that's pure delusion, and should scare the entire nation. Was this a deal Trump made to get Kennedy to support him?  If it was, it was a bad deal putting him in charge of the nation's health and how the nation grows and eats food in America?  Listen up Donny, that's nuts.    

We're facing a massive nation destroying national debt, and yet I'm reading how Trump wants to do away with the debt ceiling.  Why? In his last term he did a lot of good things, but cutting spending and borrowing wasn't among them, and it appears he might not be any good at it this term either.  I'm hoping that's not so.  

At this point I would like to feature this article by my now passed friend Alan Caruba, who discussed the disaster of Lyndon B. Johnson in his 2012 article Poverty Nation and Johnson's “War on Poverty” saying it was a "classic, liberal government program that to this day has not eliminated poverty in America", and goes on to show no matter how much is spent, poverty will always be with us.  That's history, and that history is incontestable. 

The leftist view is that poverty can be eliminated if we just spend more money.   Well that's historically delusional, it's stupid, and it's budget busting.  In short, the amount of spending, ineffectual spending, with lousy returns is massive, and that's so throughout the federal government.  If Trump really wants it all stopped he needs to put a cap on spending and borrowing, and he needs to do it now!

But this really takes the cake. Trump wants Canada to become the 51st state, which has generated a lot of CO2 and ink, and since Trudeau has resigned he's putting on the big push, and making big promises saying:

Many people in Canada love being the 51st state.  The United States can no longer suffer the massive trade deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat.  Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned. If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be totally secure from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great nation it would be!!

Russian and Chinese ships are surrounding Canada?  Really, I've not read that anywhere else, and everything else he's saying here is... well... odd at best.

Let's understand this, the conservatives of Canada are like America's RINO's only more left.  So, if Canada were to become the 51st state there would be two more leftist Senators, and an untold number of leftist House members.  If the ten provinces of Canada became separate states that would bring in 20 more leftist Senators.   The Congress would be in the hands of anti-American far left lunatics forever.  If people liked the tyranny Trudeau imposed on Canada, they would love the tyranny they, along with their Democrat allies, would be able to impose on America, starting with the end of the First and Second Amendments.  

And Trump thinks that's a good idea?  

Border Czar Homan: I Like His Style!

By Rich Kozlovich

Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan is giving notice, to Democrat Governors who are working to oppose the President's mass immigration plans saying:

If they're not willing to help, then get the hell out of the way because [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] is going to do their job.....I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That's why he's elected -- to secure the border, save lives and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats. So if you’re not going to help us, step aside, but don't get in our way, because there will be consequences......If you're in a country illegally, you've got a problem.

He's made it clear the administration will conduct workplace immigration raids saying:

 Where do we find most victims of sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking? At worksites.

Tom Homan is a man out for justice according to Susan Quinn:

From the first time I saw Tom Homan interviewed on Fox News, I was so impressed by his determination to protect the border of our country. For him, the goals were all about border security and national security, and nothing could excuse illegal migrants breaking our laws. His fervor about this invasion of our country was second only to President Trump, even in Trump’s first term, and he is resolute about deporting those people who have been allowed to cross our borders illegally, thanks to the policies of the Biden administration........... Since Trump just stated today that he will appoint Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota, who is a stalwart supporter of border security, I foresee her working well with Holman, as will likely other Department heads.

Tom Holman has an in-depth background in border security and law enforcement...........He’s also adamant about carrying out his mission.

I like his style, and he kinda reminds me of General George S. Patton, the only really brilliant allied general in the ETO during WWII. But he was in trouble all the time, as he said exactly what was on his mind. Mostly because that's who he was, and Patton really had no political ambitions after the war, so he had no desire to curb his tongue. 

After he retired he promised to expose all the idiocy, all the gutless political pandering, and all the big egos that unnecessarily killed so many allied troops, and the lousy planning of the generals during the war that caused it.  His death was the happiest day in the lives of the allied generals, and was a serious loss regarding the real history of WWII to America and the world.   

But he got things done and that seems to me that's who this guy is. Tough, smart, focused, extremely competent, and could care less what anyone thinks, and is more than happy to say what he thinks and tell the leftists in government and the Pravda media to shove it. 

I like his style!

 

What Did the Royal Family Know, and When Did They Know It?

By Rich Kozlovich
 
 
.........for the last 25 years, Pakistani men have been grooming and raping young white girls. And when I say young, I don’t mean a 16-year-old girl who puts on makeup and purposely tries to pass herself off as 18. No, while that happened, the vast majority of the victims were far younger—11, 13, and sometimes as young as 5 years old. It’s been recently suggested that the total number of victims over that period is more than 250,000. And most of those victims were abused and raped by multiple men, sometimes dozens or more.............
 
A father went to try and rescue his daughter and was arrested by the police.  The police were called to a home where seven naked Pakistani men were with two naked and drunk 13-year-olds and subsequently arrested the girls for drunkenness and let the men go.  Tommy Robinson, the self-made journalist (which is something of a badge of honor in recent times), was arrested and jailed for reporting on the rape cases............. anyone who stood up and spoke out about it was accused of Islamophobia or being a racist.

I've been writing about, and reporting about this for years, and it isn't just England, AustriaSweden, France, Germany, all of Europe faces the same problem, and Christians in non western nations face this kind of vile behavior, and the governments, the judiciary, and the police aid and abet this vile behavior, and it isn't Pakistani men.  Muslims of every stripe all over the world are participants in this outrage.

No one is asking the question that needs asked, and answered.  Did King Charles know about this?  And if so, when did he know it, and if he did, what did he do about it?  Charles and his mother understood their real mission.  Protect the family business!  Just like her grandfather George V who refused to let his cousin, Czar Nicholas of Russia, who he was very close to, escape to England in exile.  It was decided to do so might create problems for the royal family so he refused.  The death of the Czar and his entire family haunted him for the rest of his life, and rightly so, and the nobility of Europe, many of whom were related to both of them absolutely blamed him. 

Charles is no different ranting about Islamophobia.  So, since Charles by law is the head of the government this must be asked.  Did he know about this, when did he know it, and if he did, what did he do about it?  Let’s face it, I was an exterminator for 40 years, and if the bug man knew about this from the beginning, how could Charles, and his mother Queen Elizabeth, not know about it?   Quoting Oliver Cromwell about the Rump Parliament in 1653:   

"You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... In the name of God, go!" 

That certainly applies to the Royal Family of England, and has been applicable for a very long time.  As for the Prime Minister, his position is Musk is lying about sex abuse gangs.

The Nation's Solution to Overpopulation? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

By Rich Kozlovich

Heads up people, Bobby Kennedy Jr. is a Kennedy:

 "I gotta tell ya, I can't believe all the warm and fuzzy claptrap coming from conservatives over RFK, Jr's "Road to Damascus" conversion by dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump. 

He's not being selfless! Pay attention folks, history is everything, culture is king, and he's not going MAGA. Get over it!  He's always been a left wing nutroll who's angry because he isn't being allowed to play in the left wing nutroll sand box any longer.  So now he wants to punish all these former nutroll collaborators he was so cozy with for all these years.  However, I think there may be more going on here than meets the eye.  I'll tell you what, we'll come back to that. 

Here was my article, Grading Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the Curve, so have no doubt he is in no way a moderate.  He's a far left walking disaster, so, stop gushing over this guy.  Just say thanks, and then move on. 

You would think that would be enough to alert people as to just how bad he is, but nooo,  Kennedy has been chosen by Donald Trump to be Secretary of Health and Human Services where he intends to turn his insane views into government policy. 

Food lobbyists plot to have it their way with RFK Jr. - Although much of the early criticism of Kennedy's nomination has focused on his skepticism regarding some vaccines, the nominee is a longtime critic of the food industry, which he says is a leading contributor to America's obesity epidemic. In recent months, he has called for a crackdown on food additives, limits on certain crop protection chemicals, stronger guidelines regarding what he says are conflicts of interest among regulators and business, and a review of any substance causing, what he argues, Americans to be "mass poisoned by big pharma and big food.".....

There have been numerous articles, on conservative news sites, trying to make RFK, Jr. look sane by comparing him with some who are as insane as he is.  Well, let's try and get this right, once, please.  That's a false comparison because Kennedy is just as as insane as they with his support of ridiculous global warming initiatives. Here are My RFK Jr. Commentaries. Name one far left initiative he's against. You can't, because there isn't one.  I just don't understand this penchant for normally sane conservatives jumping on the Kennedy bandwagon.

Furthermore this, "there's chemicals in our food", hysteria is a never ending story that's also bogus. OUR FOOD "IS" CHEMICALS.  There was a commentary claiming that people who went to Europe came back healthier, but if it is true, so what?   The reasons may be wide ranging, but the fact is that's anecdotal, and that's not science.

When was the last time you drove by a ball diamond and saw dozens of kids playing ball? I've not seen that in years. Kids are sitting at home playing computer games, and you wonder why the level of obesity is higher than in the past.  It's all about calories in and calories out.  And you're wondering why there are so many dealing with diabetes issues.

In days gone by high fat and high carbohydrate diets was the norm, and the depression era children lived longer than any generation before due to much better health care, and the same is true of those after, except with the corruption involving covid shots, that may change.  This our thalidomide era, only much worse and for much longer.

Now, in spite of the fact these shots aren't vaccines, and he was against them and was right, it  just proves even a blind monkey can find a coconut once in a while, and I almost broke out in hives defending him on this. 

But the fact is he's against all vaccines, which since 1796 have saved hundreds of millions of lives.  They need to stop these covid inoculations, and I hope he can accomplish that, especially in young children. If he can get that done by forcing transparency, good for him, but that's not all of what Kennedy is all about. 

He's a far left wing nutroll, and a dangerous nutroll embracing all the irrational, misanthropic, and morally defective themes promoted by the left.  If the world embraced the fraudulent global warming initiatives and energy production initiatives he and his leftist friends support it would kill billions.

Kennedy will make America healthier!   That's nonsense.  He's a far left radical, irrational, misanthropic and morally defective, and all this clabber about vaccines, (other than these false covid vaccines) and pesticides, starting with the lies regarding DDT, along with GMO's is blatant nonsense. 

Let's stop trying to turn horse manure into a rose, and please don't try and tell me there aren't dozens of qualified conservatives out there who would happily take on the deep state and big pharma, who are not named Kennedy.   If this was the deal Trump made to get Kennedy to endorse him, it's a bad deal.

Here's an article I published on 2009 and 2014 that defends pesticides and outlines what's in a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, which seems I need to republish for the initiated, Demagoguery Beats Data, and far more often.  If something is chemical free...it doesn't exist.

One last thing. Who was the greatest human being to have lived in the 20th century? One of my personal heroes, Norman Borlaug. He saved the lives of over a billion people with his "green revolution" using high yield crops, insecticides, fertilizers, and herbicides. And since he lived into the 21st century he may be the greatest person to have lived in both centuries. 

Kennedy and his insane followers are the antithesis to Norman Borlaug.

The Transformation of the FBI

By Rich Kozlovich

Obama said he intended to "fundamentally transform the United States", and he did so cleverly and subtly by implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion cancerous programs into every government agency, academia, and even commerce.  By using our own values against us he was able to spread this national cancer.  

The FBI is totally contaminated with this at the highest levels, how bad it is among the rank and file is debatable . We'll soon see, but as of right now it's obvious from their actions over the New Orleans New Year's Day terror attack claiming it was "not an act of terrorism"....... "we were probably witnessing another example of failed DEI schemes. No more are agents with years of criminal investigative experience running things...." continuing to befoul itself as they cover for terrorists, and Joe Biden.  It's clear cleaning out that Augean stable will be a Herculean task, and now that we absolutely know Islamic terrorism is alive in America, one has to wonder how much responsibility for this falls on the FBI, as it's clear the FBI has an insane terror agenda.  It's also most like we have a sleeping dragon in our midst.

For years the FBI has been focused on "white supremacist terrorism", conservatives, anti-abortionists, traditional Christians, Latin preferring Catholics, traditional Jews, patriotic veterans, and anyone who subscribes to traditional western Judaic/Christian values.  So it's easy to understand why they can't find Muslim terrorists.  You can't catch what you're not looking for.   As the author states:

Large-scale deportations and increased internal surveillance are the order of the day. It is not racism to protect your citizens. Islamic terror has taken many lives, and authorities are fully justified in putting their attention more on Muslims than say Jews, Hindus, and Christians due to Muslims being involved in far more mass-casualty events than the latter. If the officials do not act and get over their fear of looking racist, then a caliphate in Europe is a given, the only thing not known is the specific date of its realization.  And the U.S. can expect more attacks while the feds look for their terrorists in the cornfields and behind the barn.

The New Orleans attack is Muslim terror on a global scale, and the Bourbon Street massacre is what it looks like.  There's a reason this kind of thing never happens in China, as noted:

China doesn’t have DEI stupidity.   Hey, FBI, did you see what those pro-life, Christianity-believing grandmothers just did in New Orleans? .......China rarely has such terrorist attacks..........terrorists know that China won’t tolerate terrorism.......Stick your head up in China and you are liable to get it lopped off.  And the Chinese people know it.

Is totalitarianism the answer? No, the answer was given at the beginning of America's creation.  

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other” (John Adams).

The "maintenance of freedom requires self-control,.... virtuous morality,....  respect the for lives and property of others, and this is going to require a massive culture war staring with public education, from Kindergarten to higher education.   Culture is king, and American needs to make some serious changes, and a really good start would be to put in jail all those on the left who've committed crimes but were protected by a

Biden Befouls Everything He Touches

By Rich Kozlovich

As Biden's days as President are coming to a close he continues to befoul the Presidency.  First all these corrupt pardons, then executive orders and regulations without end to prevent the Trump administration from instituting policies that will actually aid the nation versus the insane and inept policies, foreign and domestic, the Biden administration imposed on the nation, and the world.   

Leftists are demanding he impose the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, which has run out of time, but they say he can do it.  the Congress, the courts, and the national Archivist says he can't.  And now he's besmirched the value of the Medal of Freedom. 

Some of those who were given this award by Biden were pretty much from the "political snake class", making this award meaningless.
 
There was a 2002 movie about a Russian submarine, K-19: The Widowmaker with Harrison Ford.  At the end of the movie after discovering the Soviet hierarchy refused to give medals to the crew members who died saving the rest of the crew's lives Ford's character said: 
 
For their courage I nominated these men for the title of hero of the Soviet Union. But the committee ruled that because it was not wartime, and because it was merely an accident, they were not worthy of the title hero. What good are honors from such people? These men sacrificed, not for a medal. But because when the time came, it was their duty. Not to the navy, or to the state, but to us. Their comrades. 
 
Though the course of my life I've seen this pattern playing out so often. Honors bestowed on the unworthy, while ignoring those who actually accomplish something worthwhile.
 
In this article by Eric Utter, Biden awards Hillary and Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the author asks:
 
Is John Hinckley, Jr. next in line for the prestigious award? He came within a half an inch of assassinating Ronald Reagan in 1981 but now lives on his own and has started his own record label! Maybe instead of Biden just granting 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a plea deal, he could award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, too....
 
While Hillary received a standing ovation, that doesn't change the fact she's still a snake, in a room full of vipers.  Things may change for her soon. Monica Showalter says Biden has "soiled" this award stating:

As President Obama used to say: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f--- things up." Or as President Trump put it: "Everything he touches turns to s---." Joe's always promoted that kind of partisan unity.  So now he's handing out another slew of awards, as if his pardons and commutations to heinous criminals, and his civilian award to Liz Cheney were not enough........ 
 
Matt Vespa says now this award means nothing, and Patricia McCarthy, citing examples, calls the Biden administration a bunch of immature spoiled playground bullies, and even calls them treasonous, who would happily destroy the country.
 
The final indignity the Biden regime has inflicted on the American people is to present Hillary Clinton and George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom. HRC and Soros are two of the most corrupt, self-serving creatures ever set loose on our republic.  It was bad enough that he gave the loathsome Liz Cheney and Benny Thompson, her partner in crime on the J6 committee, the Presidential Citizens Medal.  That committee was a fraudulent panel if there ever was one; it was a theatrical production full of lies, and its members destroyed actual evidence. That committee was a purposeful insult to all the people who have been destroyed by the Biden/Garland pursuit and persecution of anyone present in D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021.
 
"What good are honors from such people?"

Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich

If you go to news sites you find writers will specialize in certain topics or issues.  I'm pretty much fascinated by everything, and that "everything" is huge, making it difficult to cover it all, but I try to cover as much as I can, and I'm going to alter how I do this by posting more shorter articles dealing with specific issues.  .

This week we heard the Democrat Minority Leader in the House, the hand puppet of Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries vow to fart hard for the right to vote.   Okay, so that must mean the Democrats are going to continue stinking up the place?  Right? They're all part of the Carter legacy, which Jimmy's grandson is so proud of claiming his grandfather's legacy will live on, and I agree.  And here's his legacy and it's not a pretty one.  

Time and truth are on the same side, and a great many of these people, like Liz Chaney, who will not end up dying an unknown, unfortunately for her. She'll die being known for her lack of integrity, and will spend the rest of her life as a member of the Benedict Arnold Hall of Fame, which will follow her after she's gone, and she dragged her father into that hall of fame with her. There's something seriously wrong with that family, and her mind.   In a desperate bid for relevance, Liz blasts Donald Trump and gets blasted. No class, no brains, no integrity, and no one is listening.  None of this is going to save her against the upcoming investigation by Congress, and what has to be a totally reformed DOJ and FBI for the crimes committed by the January 6th Committee. 

Blinkin admits it was their corruption, and stupidity that caused Hamas to pull back from deals, and one leftist, whose secular religion, leftism, which can only exist via voter fraud is saying Trump didn't win the popular vote, while the Democrats scheme to keep Trump from being sworn in.    

Senate RINO's never can find a bottom that's too low for them to go, and entirely too often are in collusion with the left in all it's manifestations to destroy anyone Trump will nominate, and if anyone had any doubts Thune was going to abandon his RINO credentials, this should remove any and all doubt,  Thune Questions if It Is ‘Realistic’ to Deport Everybody in the Country Illegally.

With the possible exception of RFK, Jr., which shouldn't shock anyone because the left knows, he's still really is one of them!  Understand this.  Kennedy wants to be President, and he knows that's never gonna happen in the Republican party, and since its pretty clear the Democrats are leaderless and clueless, they could easily decide RFK Jr. is just the man they want, since I'm not expecting him to last even two years in the Trump administration, that will give him time for the 2028 nomination.

The covid fraud scandal is going to seriously heat up, and someone, hopefully Fauci, will end up in jail, who is probably guilty of 25 million counts of negligent criminal homicide’.   


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

“For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires to honor the truth first.” - Aristotle

 By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

Ken Starr, the Special Prosecutor in the Clinton case, was vilified and made to look stupid by the media constantly.  Even stalking Starr outside his home and asking him questions when he went outside to throw out the garbage in his bathrobe.  

Starr in effect admitted his naivete saying the optics never occurred to him as he didn't want to be rude, as the reporters were just doing their job.  Now that's naive, true, but that's  how descent people act.  

The media isn't descent, they're not honest, and they're corrupt to the bone.  Why did it take so long for everyone to grasp that?  And Walter Cronkite, "The most trusted man in America",  was just as guilty.  He was a secret globalist, and the Pravda media, aka, the Fourth Estate still is.

Dr. Michael J. Hurd published this article, What Makes a Person “Suggestible” and Why It Matters

Far from being something mysterious, the power of suggestion is often a part of everyday life.....Simply put, a person is “suggestible” if he or she accepts and acts on suggestions by others. Suggestions can range from lies to misunderstandings to incorrect perceptions (like the caffeine example). In other words, your mind, and in some cases, your body, will trick you into believing that something is – or isn’t – true.......

He goes on to say:

Researchers warn against confusing “suggestibility” with “susceptibility.” Susceptibility refers to a physical weakness or predisposition, like being susceptible to colds. Though suggestibility is more mental......The famous saying, “There’s a sucker born every minute” may be true — but only where critical thinking is ignored, discouraged or outlawed.

The Pravda media has knowingly and corruptly spewed out lies of commission, lies of omission, misinformation, and fake news for decades placing a mammoth thumb on America's election scales.   

The bias, from both the mainstream media and the tech/social media is mind-boggling.  The problem isn’t that Democrats openly and habitually lie about Donald Trump on a regular basis.  The problem is that the media uses subliminal messaging to reinforce those lies. They are not fair, neutral arbiters. 

The media are Democrats, by and large. For example, Democrat strategist Aisha Mills recently appeared on Erin Burnett’s show on CNN [whose] insane rant naturally invoked Hitler, but ranged from eugenics (What? Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger are icons within the Democrat party, and she wants to complain about eugenics?) to her personal belief, based on nothing but her own emotion, that Donald Trump considers himself superior to her because of her genetics due to her identity a black lesbian. ...........

Well, I'm betting tree moss is superior to her, and they wonder why they're swirling down the drain.   MSNBC, CNN are disintegrating, and left wing outlets are utterly stupefied as to why!

 The fact is the real reason Trump is so popular is because of the internet. So many alternative news site popped up overnight, like American Thinker, all of which what's called the "Fourth Estate", and is in reality the Pravda media, arrogantly, smugly, and dismissively called the alternative media the "Pajama Media", and that's now morphed into the 'Fifth Estate" because as more and more Americans read what was being said they realized just how badly they'd been lied to by the Pravda Media. 

And Little Georgie isn't alone.   Joy Reid, "We Are Not Having Thanksgiving with You — ‘Make your Own Dinner, MAGA", who never fails to demonstrate what an abysmally disgusting human being she is, even blaming the Muslim terrorist attack in New Orleans on America, is either going to be booted off MSNBC, or take a pay cut.  I would choose the boot, but that's just me.  When you read the idiotic, nasty things she says you have to ask, Why on earth does MSNBC keep Joy Reid?, but then, why does MSNBC continue to exist?  Then there's Rachel Maddow, MSNBC's "star", who will have to now survive on a mere 25 million a year instead of 30 million.  And they wonder why they're going broke? 

Viewers Abandoned CNN, MSNBC After Election.  In the aftermath of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Fox News experienced significant gains in viewership. The network captured 62 percent of the overall cable news audience, marking its highest cable news share to date. On Election Night and during Vice President Kamala Harris's concession, Fox News was the most-watched network. ( More Here, and Here

Even the Food Network is doing better than CNN, and Silvio Canto says he understands why, "their chefs and recipes must have more credibility than the news readers" at these networks.

America is now acutely aware of how badly they've been lied to and have walked away from these networks.  Once that happened, they never went back, and those numbers have increased yearly, until now,  Now those numbers are massive, and to the point the Pravda media, both print and television, are going down the sewer, and are on the chopping block to be sold, and soon, probably at fire sale prices, and for two reasons. 

  1. Their viewership is far left and they will not tolerate conservative views being shown, so they can't change who and what they are to expand their viewership, and very soon they're going to lose all that lovely, lovely bundling money.
  2. Streaming is going to bankrupt cable.  Cable is dying and being taken over by streaming, and when cable dies, all that lovely, lovely, bundling money will dry up, and worse yet, their ratings as bad as they were, nosedived after the election.  They tried streaming with MSNBC+ and it failed almost overnight, so they know with their message they can't generate sufficient income on their own.  They're toast.

MSNBC Continues to Crash and Burn, With No Idea What to Do.  Now, ya just gotta see the humor in all that panic, and the Trump people are going after the media from now on, as ‘The View’ Host Sunny Hostin has to issue another legal statement for lying about Pete Hegseth claiming he mistreated his wife.  

Now little Georgie Stephanopoulos, the dwarf who roared, has had to settle with Trump for big bucks, apologize to him, and ABC has to fork over $15 Million directly to Trump, and another million to his lawyers.   And the dwarf who roared is in a rage, and is allegedly ‘Apoplectic’ over Trump Lawsuit Settlement, but what must really hurt is he's had to take a pay cut, who is still grossly overpaid.  

Poor Jim Acosta, a virtual lava flow horsepucky is in a panic over this settlement as he fears getting sued, and if he does, he want's the company to bail him out.  It never occurred to them all their lies would constitute "actual malice" under the New York Times V. Sullivan SCOTUS ruling that I think is a disgraceful decision that has absolutely no basis in the Constitution and unleashed onto America corrupt media liars who worked to destroy the lives of people they disapproved of, and it's time to end this insanity and force the media to live by the same standards as the rest of America has to live by.

Then we have the fall of RINO Never Trumpers like Peggy Noonan, who was lauded a lot in years gone by and even then I had no idea why. I read her stuff, and even at that much younger age, with much less experience in life, and much less knowledge, I wasn't impressed. I always came away with the thought I had no idea what she was trying to say, and neither did she. This piece explains why. She wants it both ways, always needing an out, always needing an excuse for failure, just like all the "it's not my fault" leftists they hobnob with.

She's like so many of these faux conservatives, they like the attention, the parties, the ability to rub shoulders with prominent leftists of the media, presenting themselves as enlightened, but they've never they been warriors. Jonah Goldberg came close and then capitulated. George Will,  Krauthammer, and Bill Kristol, whose father Irving was a communist/socialist at one point and became the "godfather of neoconservatism", which explains a lot about the views of his son, all of whom had the same problem that afflicts so many "intellectuals", a sense of elitist privilege. 

I've seen this type in a thousand places and a thousand faces, but they're all the same, they present a face of arrogance and smugness to hide their inadequacies, and are totally uncomfortable in the presence of the peasantry as they live in a echo chamber of head nodders.  

As has been quoted so often, "There are liars, there are damn liars, and there are statistics",. so when you combine a political persuasion notorious for lies, and can only subsist on lies, a corrupt media that loves those lies, and pollsters who corruptly know they're lies and yet work to make lies those truth, we had a public that was been beguiled for decades.

Then the internet appeared and then, "Shazam" the "Captain Marvel", alternative media appeared, AKA, the pajama media, now the new "Fifth Estate", which the Pravda media smugly and arrogantly smirked at. Well, that's over with, the smirk is gone, the smirking turned into hate mongering, their network programs are swirling down the drain, and now the corporate Pravda, Fourth Estate media, is irrelevant, and it's clear the new administration is going to open things up that will place the "Fourth Estate" in a back row seat, where they've belonged for decades.

 He who laughs last laughs best.  Schadenfreude!

Two more points. 

First, this attack against a corrupt media is going to continue, as "U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shared details about her plans for a brand new House subcommittee tasked with cutting wasteful government spending and redundant bureaucracy", saying among the things, they'll be addressing taxpayer money being used to fund NPR or any media outlet for that matter.  

Secondly, for those who may doubt the vile corruption we're seeing from the Pravda media is something new and novel, I would like to draw your attention to an article I originally published in 2011, The Lady is a Hag.

Greenies Lie, Period!

By Rich Kozlovich

As it turns out, the greenies make things up, ludicrous things that only the brain dead can accept, you see, according to them "climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers".  Really?  And they know that how?  Let's try and get this right:

Never believe anything the green pushers, including the media, tell you. Their previous predictions have been pure garbage or propaganda to push an agenda, and they clearly care more about money and power than our length and quality of life. It is pathetic and dangerous when almost all people pretending to be journalists just regurgitate what they are told on “climate change” and “global warming” instead of doing research and asking questions. They are great contributors to the dumbing down of society, especially the children.

For many years I've written about the green movement and I learned from very early on, they lie, so when I write, I start with that foundational premise, and after I do the research on any subject they're ranting about..... guess what I find. They lied!

As for their doom and gloom, Chicken Little, the sky is falling predictions, they're pathetic. Here is my Failed Predictions file, along with my commentaries, If Green Prediction Was a Corporation, They'd Have a Monopoly on Being Wrong! And I particularly like this one, A Prince Who Was Potty, is Now a King Who is Potty, and Dangerously So!

Many years ago a customer who knew about my articles asked if I believed in global warning. I said, yes, and I believe in global cooling, but I don't believe mankind has anything to do with either one, and that's the issue. As for their climate models and predictions, that's garbage in and garbage out, as a result their timelines for disaster have come and gone, and the world is still here.

Environmentalism is part and parcel of a green globalist, one world government tyrannous socialist secular religion, with disaster mongering and lying as the central tenets of that religion.

A thousand years ago during the Medieval Warming Period the world was substantially warmer than it is today, and none of the disasters they're predicting for today occurred then, and there's no reason to believe they will occur now.

The world actually needs more CO2, not less. Climate change and CO2 have nothing to do with each other, except, climate change precedes CO2, not the reverse, and CO2 does not change the climate.   All that's absolutely known, and now we see Michigan is going to destroy 400 acres of woodland to build a solar farm with solar panels made in China.   

Remember 35 years ago the greenies were outraged at the controlled timber harvesting in the Northwest claiming logging was killing the spotted own.  After destroying that industry it was disclosed logging that was killing them at all, it was the barred owl, and the greenies knew that right from he start.  They lied, and now where are these green misfits over Michigan destroying 400 acres of forest to make way for solar panels?  The greenies have very selective outrage because their not about the environment, they're about destroying western civilization, and sadly so many of them at the base are nothing more than useful clueless idiots.

And now look at what that darned global warming has caused. Record-breaking wind, ice, and snow to impact 250 million Americans. Yes, and worse, global warming is now going to cause major winter storms and blizzard conditions in at least a dozen states, and even Washington DC. The answer?  Cut down more trees.

Let's Not Get Too Happy

So, Trump won, now what?

By Rich Kozlovich

No political party can withstand adversity when there's no common unified social paradigm  or shared perception of who they are.  They are in effect like conflicting primitive tribes within a social boundary presented as a party.  They're all feeling oppressed, and yet they're not even sure who their real enemy is, the opposition, or their  own party, and this is only going to get worse.  The real issue that will trigger a national political explosion will be cutting spending, and/or reforming the entitlement mandates like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.  

There's a lot of joy for conservatives over Trump's victory right now, but we need to see things clearly. Trump has not been good at cutting spending, and he wanted the debt limit raised.  Why?  While Libertarians rail against his tariffs, I applaud them.  He wants to gut government massively, which in my view will cut spending massively, but both the Democrats and the Republicans are in resistance. 

He's created DOGE being headed up by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to cut costs, massively.  The trouble is both them are elitists and support H-1B visas, which I addressed here.  I don't support expanding it, and this is creating conflict with the America First base, and that's a base that's been abused by both parties for decades, and they're on a short fuse.  As for me, I support banning all immigration to America until the illegals are gone, and the border is secure.   

I've said this before, and I'm gonna keep saying it again.  I've little respect for Elon Musk who I consider to be a massively self serving con artist, feeding at the government's subsidy trough on electric cars, and even promoting global warming, and he now wants to send a ship to land on Mars, and I ask why?  There's nothing there, and life couldn't be sustained on Mars except by artificial means, and that's not sustainable.  There's gotta be a government finance scheme somewhere in that mix wherein he benefits in some way.

Personally, I think he's nuts and I think he's a strange man.  Not exactly my cup of tea when it comes to confidence and trust.  However, even a blind monkey can find a coconut on occasion, and it appears he's stumbled onto a big coconut with DOGE.  I just can't figure out what his angle is, but time and truth are on the same side.   

Having said that, Trump hired him to cut costs, and he's good at that.  When he took over Twitter he eliminated 6,500 of the 8,500 hundred employees, that's 70%, and he fired the moderators who of their own initiative, and values, decided what was acceptable or not on Twitter, and while he took an economic hit for a while, advertisers are coming back.  

As for Vivek, I think he was chosen to partner with Musk as an insurance policy, as I think Musk will get out of control, and he'll be gone in the first year, and Vivek will follow some time later, but he may still have a place in the Trump administration.  We'll see. 

The battle over Speaker Johnson is just one more example of how the Republican party is Balkanized, and one more example of how confused they are.   The Democrats stand for big government tyranny, big spending, big taxes, "corrupting that legal system to block and subvert the will of the American people and their chosen government", and destruction of the Constitution.  What do the Republicans stand for?  It can't be for cutting costs, cutting spending, cutting government, and stop raising taxes, as they buckle every time on all that, and Speaker Johnson has been a consistent party to that.  So, as a party what do they stand for? No one knows, including the Republicans.

As John Mauldin notes:

Politicians and think-tank wonks of all stripes love to condemn government “waste, fraud, and abuse.” But saying it isn’t hard. Who is the opposition? No one says we need more waste, fraud, and abuse. We’re all 100% agreed all three are bad.  It’s when you get specific—saying this agency or that program isn’t accomplishing what it should—that disagreement arises. Sometimes it’s pure self-interest. As I said last week, one man’s waste is another man’s revenue. But more often, people just have different objectives.

Then he goes on to define why waste, which is "when the government spends money but receives no corresponding benefit. Fraud is "the use of deception to get something you aren’t authorized to receive." And abuse, which is always with us is, "when people apply a legitimate privilege selfishly."

Most are small potatoes in dollar terms, but over hundreds of agencies, they add up. To name just one, a recent inspector general audit of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s travel expenses found a slew of waste and potential fraud, including nearly $50,000 in unallowed first-class flights between 2020 and 2023. They spent a total of $27 million on travel in the last four years, most of it in the last year. This is a small agency.

He then goes on to show the history of major efforts to reform government and cut spending, waste, fraud, and .... yes.... abuse, and how they always have failed.  The reason they fail is because they fail to understand "everything is the basics", and the basic truth is nothing will be fixed until you eliminate government agencies.... massively, at least 80% of them, and that won't just be a floor fight, it will be a dog fight.

Now we have all this controversy surrounding Speaker Johnson and I keep wondering why he doesn't just say these floor fights are detrimental to the party and the administration and graciously withdraw from the vote for speaker.  Then get all the leaders of the conflicting parties together, along with the President and Vice President and ask who they think should be speaker, and keep hashing it out until they can come together and agree. 

We'll see, but no matter who the Speaker is, the make up of the Congress will still leave the Democrats in control since in both the Senate and the House the Democrats will for the most part vote in lockstep, and there is always a percentage of Republicans who will follow, which means the Democrats will determine what's voted on and what passes.  I don't envy any legitimate conservative who would get that job, so let's not get too happy, because the next two years are going to be ugly.

There is a potential upside.  The Democrats are as delusional as Biden, and as dumb as Jimmy Carter, and they have no leader.  

Schumer isn't, Pelosi isn't, her hand puppet Hakeem Jeffries isn't, and most certainly Kamala Harris is not.  

AOC thinks she should be, and even thinks she can get the nomination to be the 2028 Democrat nominee for President, which is really telling about the Democrat party bench.  

Nitwits, misfits, halfwits, and dipsticks, even Carville thinks they're clueless.  C'mon man, how bad is that? They're even blaming George Clooney for their loss for forcing Biden out of the race, and we know Biden is now claiming he could have beaten Trump.  So, according to Wendell Husebo they're fractured, and they're scared.  

Scared is good.
