There's a lot of talk about the L.A. Fires and how Newsom's political future is toast and the Democrat's plan for 2028.  The people of California are nuts... so... once we understand that everything else falls into place.  First, they hate people, which shows just  how nuts that are since...they're people!    But they love fish, and plants, and think sacrificing people to save them is just fine and dandy.  California is broke, their cities are sewers, crime is out of control, both the state and local government are corrupt, stupid, and incompetent, and it appears they think the best solution for California is to secede from the Union. Ya just can't make this stuff up.

There's been a lot of talk how it was the Obama cabal's plan to force Biden off the ticket in order to get Michelle on as the candidate, but they were outwitted by Biden.   Ya just gotta see the humor in that.  According to Jerome Corsi that's still the plan for 2028, and so they didn't rig this election because the Obama cabal didn't want Kamala to win in order for Michelle to  run in 2028, so they decided to focus on the down card to prevent Trump from being able to rule and Corsi claims the number of stolen elections at the national and local levels was substantial.  That I believe.   

This isn't 2020, and the Pravda media is swirling down the drain and before 2028 I'm expecting to see at least two of them gone, CNN, and MSNBC, with the rest on the edge of the precipice like CBS and CBS.  This is the legacy media's "Eve of Destruction".

Either those in the legacy media can’t stop themselves from engaging in a constant drumbeat of left-wing coverage, or they don’t care what will happen should they continue on such a trajectory. Either way, they are participating in a near-certain death spiral. Standing on the eve of destruction, they may want to rethink their descent into the abyss.

Cable is dying in favor of streaming, and without all that lovely, lovely, bundling money they cannot survive financially, even if they attempt streaming, which they have and has already failed, and it failed almost immediately.  They just don't get it, they're message stinks, so I don't care how they reorganize themselves, they're toast.  Americans have been lied to, and now America knows how badly they've been lied to, and they're done with the Pravda media.  Yet somehow the left thinks either Newsom, AOC, or Michelle would be the perfect candidates for 2028.  Imagine that.

No matter who they pick for 2028, without the Pravda media and their constant drumbeat of lies it's not going to be so easy getting Michelle or any other nitwit nominated, and Obama's no longer the left's shining star, George Soros will most like be dead, these globalist are being attacked by Trump and being exposed for the radicals they are losing credibility by the second.

All the "chicken little the sky is falling hysteria" they trumpet is now falling on deaf ears, and the alternative media, which is now ascendant, will run stories refuting all of that daily.  But the number one issue that needs addressing across the nation is bring voter fraud to an end.  It's still in place, and it's massive. 

I wonder what goes on people's minds.... conservative minds that is.  I understand leftist minds, they're nuts, corrupt, and tyrannous, see, easy!   But what in the world would possess conservatives to want to change the Constitution to allow for Trump to have a third term?  Listen up folks...pay attention.... be careful for what you wish for.  There are always long term consequences.   If that had been changed before 2016 do you doubt Obama couldn't have been reelected for three and maybe four terms?  I don't.   We need to see farther, deeper, and wider.  If we don't we're just as stupid as leftists.  Why is that so hard to get?

Pete Hegseth has been confirmed as Secretary of Defense but that only happened because V.P. Vance was able to break the tie.  Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins voted no.  Murkowski went on about how impressive Hegseth was but in good conscience had to vote no, but didn't' explain how he offended her conscience.   What kind of stupid answer is that?  As far as I can tell Collins hasn't explained her vote, and McConnell refuses to be interviewed over it, but did release an idiotic statement.  McConnell is Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, and I gotta tell ya, it's my view his vote stinks of self-interested corruption.

Recently it was reported how a heretical leftist Episcopalian Bishop scolded Trump during her sermon, and there was a lot of discussion about what he should have done.  My view is he and all of his party should have gotten up and walked out.  Good manners is important, but there are times when good sense must take the place of good manners. 

One more thing.  I've had serious doubts about Vivek Ramaswamy in the past, here, and here,  but his actions after the dropped out of the presidential race were really impressive, so I kinda put all that on the back burner, until now.  He's walked away from DOGE because the staff is upset he wasn't pulling his weight, what ever that means, as I have no idea how many  people are there or how they're organized, but that must cause concern since he's wanting to be Ohio's next governor.  I'm back to having serious doubt about Vivek.  

I have four hard hitting commentaries followed by twenty nine outstanding pieces, and I'm now convinced the left has twisted the 14th Amendment over the last year from preventing Trump from running for President to birthright citizenship, and I now think the only fix is to repeal it.  

We've had some pretty mild winters here in Northern Ohio for the last few years, but this year we got....winter .......  with some sub-zero temperatures, and the snow that has stayed for weeks.   Forecasts don't indicate any change until February.  Conclusion?  It's really nice to be retired.   

Best wishes to everyone,

Rich

 No matter what anyone says, you can’t marginalize the truth!  You can suppress it, you can ignore it, you can avoid it, you can attempt to undermine it, you can attempt to subvert it, you can attempt to organize against it, you can even laugh at it, but if we have the courage and the fortitude to stand and confront the lies, irrespective of the personal costs, the truth will stand the test of time, because truth and time are on the same side.

Trump's Law!

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Back about 60 years ago there was a TV show called Burke's Law with Gene Barry as millionaire captain of Los Angeles Police homicide division Amos Burke, who is chauffeured around to solve crimes in his 1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II complete with an early car phone solving crimes.  When in one episode a witness asked why: His partner Tilson asked: "Why're you a construction man?" Witness: "It's what I do best." Tilson: "That's why he's a cop."  Burke had a way of doing things as an example he told his detectives never ask a question you don't know the answer to, and that means being on top of the information game, and seeing farther, deeper, and wider than others.  

 The federal and state governments, academia, the Pravda media, Congress, and even the commercial sector is filled with halfwits, nitwits, misfits, dipsticks, and meritless pinheads.  A vile cesspool of destructive self interested corruption.   Highly educated, under smart, and entirely too powerful.  They really don't wish to know anything, which becomes obvious when they talk..... saying nothing. 

Things that are known they ignore because they inconveniently fail to meet the leftist narrative of the moment.  As for the things they don't know, they invent.  But now, none of that matters, truth very patiently waits for us, and hopefully it's here now, at least some of it, and at least for a while.  So enjoy it while it lasts. 

Now we have Donald Trump as POTUS, and getting things done is what he does best, and often times that means saying the two words he practically owns.  You're Fired!  General Mark Milley: “You’re Fired!”  As Trump says about ending the Russo/Ukrainian War, we can do it the easy way, or the hard way – and the easy way is always better', but have no doubt, he's going to  have his way on both domestic policies as well as foreign relations, and his appointees are all on board with imposing Trump's Law!  Trump's executive orders are meant to eradicate Obama's sixteen long years to “fundamentally transform America” to the “foundational restoration” of America. 

Trump will find that the executive orders were the easy part, "he’s now got to fight the enemies within the federal government and worry about the judiciary when all the inevitable lawsuits are filed".  Daniel Greenfield reliably predicts, malicious compliance will be the first wave of fed anti-Trump resistance deliberately "breaking things", by just following orders, all in order to blame Trump. This will be the test for crushing the federal employee unions, and justification for eliminating 80% of them. 

 

But as far as foreign affairs are concerned, things will start going much smoother.  Good riddance to Antony Blinken, and as far as I can tell, he's not been pardoned for anything.  But there is a  host of people who need to be investigated whether they've been pardoned or not.

 

Trump’s Shock and Awe Campaign Is Our Conservative Dream Come True - "As we survey the shattered, smoldering ruins of leftists’ dreams in the wake of Donald J Trump’s campaign of annihilation, it’s understandable if we pause for just a moment to appreciate exactly what has happened. We’ve talked and dreamed about this scenario for years, but now it’s happening right in front of our eyes........the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory......"

 

Below I've linked an article by Daniel Greenfield entitled,  The Koch Appeasers Taking Over Trump’s Defense Department.  "How China and Iran appeasers are sneaking into the Pentagon."  It's always the same, a masquerade of corrupt self interest at the expense of the nation's welfare with big wealthy international corporations.  They cannot be trusted to not commit treason.  The old employees, and the new hires will have to be watched carefully, and the firings at all these agencies will have to be ongoing ...... always!  And everyone was shocked why Trump fired all those Inspector's General.  He gets it, and he wants real watchmen. 

ABORTION

GOP Rep. Chip Roy Reintroduces Bill to Repeal Law Used to Throw Pro-Lifers in Prison - Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) reintroduced a bill on Tuesday that would repeal a law former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) used to put pro-life advocates in prison. The FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025, would get rid of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a law passed in 1994, which prohibits “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain, or provide reproductive health services.” The act was written to equally protect abortion clinics, pro-life pregnancy resource centers, and churches, however, 97 percent of FACE Act cases since the law’s inception have been against pro-life advocates.......

CENSORSHIP, FREE SPEECH, AND TRANSPARENCY

 

Disinformation Experts Hate Trump’s Free Speech Executive Order - Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump signed a bevy of executive orders earlier this week, including one that seeks to end the federal government's pressure campaign on social media companies. The "Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship" executive order reaffirms the free speech rights of social media users and prohibits government agents from engaging in unconstitutional censorship.......

 

BREAKING: Trump Declassifies JFK Assassination Documents- President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday afternoon declassifying Central Intelligence Agency documents related to the assassinations of President John F.

CENSORSHIP: US Government Agencies Caught Censoring and ‘Block-Listing’ The Gateway Pundit and Others with the Help of Radical UK Anti-Conservative Censorship Group -   Internet sleuth Bad Kitty Unleashed released an explosive report this week on how the Center for Countering Digital Hate partnered with the US taxpayer-funded Restless Development organization to counter, blacklist, censor and silence Covid “disinformation” in 2021 and beyond. Read Bad Kitty’s entire report starting here...........

 

Republican Lawmakers Urge President Trump to Release “Epstein Files” - Republican lawmakers are urging President Trump to release the Jeffrey Epstein Files, just days after President Trump ordered the declassification of the assassination records of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr...........“Americans deserve to know exactly who was affiliated with this network. This is not about celebrities – this is about what happened to victims and survivors,” added Blackburn............

CRIME, LAWFARE, AND JUSTICE

The DOJ Kills the Ferguson Effect - Even as America was in the throes of a major crime wave, instead of fighting it, the Justice Department played a key operational role in enabling it by suppressing law enforcement. The key element in it was the Civil Rights Division. The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is essentially the enforcement arm of the Left whose prime mission used to be rigging elections for Democrats, but then developed a sideline in lynching police officers in order to enable BLM riots which were geared to elect Democrats during election years......

Justice Department Launches 'Special Project' to Investigate J6 Prosecutors - The Justice Department under President Donald Trump has launched an investigation into prosecutors who handled the criminal cases against defendants convicted of participating in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol building.   Multiple sources told CNN they had seen an internal memo indicating the president’s intention to investigate those involved in the prosecution efforts against the Jan. 6...........The order lays out a policy to identify and address these instances of misconduct, ordering the Attorney General to investigate each of the agencies to uncover how they were used under Biden’s watch. Folks on the left criticized the order, slamming Trump for giving Democrats a taste of their own medicine...........

DEI

 

Trump Ends 1965 Executive Order from Lyndon Johnson that Began Affirmative Action in U.S. Govt - President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday rescinding President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Executive Order 11246, which mandated government contractors take affirmative action......

Trump Issues Memo Directing All Federal DEI Employees to Be Put on Leave The memo directs agencies to place DEI employees on paid leave by 5 p.m. on Jan. 22.

Hoo boy, does Trump need to shake up the Pentagon! - Hopefully Trump will soon make clear the proper place and deportment for generals in the US Military.  When I began basic training in the USAF back in the early 1970s, just like every young man or woman in every military branch, I was taught our military was controlled by the President of the United States. It was a brief lesson. He is the Commander-in-Chief.  He outranks the highest-ranking general who ever lived. Civilian control of the military is unquestionable, there is no debate, no argument. Repeat it back. Don’t ever forget it. Moving on… Imagine my surprise, all these years later, when I saw this:...........the Chairman of the Joint Chief's is "ready to work with the President".........  

 

Pete Hegseth drops the bomb on DEI at U.S. Department of Defense' Those who do not comply will no longer work here'.......

On his first day as defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, who has long been in favor of these changes, told reporters that he will ensure these “orders are complied with rapidly and quickly.”...............

 

 19 state AGs tell Costco that DEI discrimination is illegal. - Attorneys general in 19 states are warning Costco "to end all unlawful discrimination imposed by the company through diversity, equity, and inclusion" policies to reflect President Donald Trump's recent executive order booting DEI out of federal agencies and warning private sectors to do the same. "Racial discrimination is both immoral and illegal. Race-based employment hiring violates state and federal law, and as the chief law enforcement officer of Kansas, I intend to enforce the law vigorously," Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach told Fox News Digital in a statement.  Trump's executive order, signed during his first week in office, will task the attorneys general with rooting out sectors and organizations that allegedly engage in discriminatory DEI practices. Recommendations will be made for potential lawsuits against violators.........

 

The Koch Appeasers Taking Over Trump’s Defense Department China and Iran appeasers are sneaking into the Pentagon. “As of today, the incoming Trump Administration has hired over 1,000 people,” President Trump tweeted. “It would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch)” along with a long list of others. But by then it was already too late. The Kochers were already on the inside............The Koch network, whose founder and financier has extensive business dealings with China, had previously broken with Trump over his crackdown on China leading to Trump calling the Koch network “Americans for China Prosperity.”.............And troubling views about our enemies they’ve tried to pass off as ‘America First’................

 

EDUCATION

 

Trump's Department of Education finally says ‘no’ to LGBTQ porn in schools January 27, 2025 by Andrea Widburg In Trump’s America, kids can be kids again, and the groomers can crawl back into their basements.

 

Trump’s Department of Education Ends DEI Initiatives - President Donald Trump’s Department of Education (DoEd) began eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and squashed what it called “Biden’s Book Ban Hoax” in the first week of Trump’s second term. In response to Trump’s executive order cracking down on DEI in the federal government, as well as guidance from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the department said it removed or archived hundreds of DEI guidance documents, reports, and training materials from its outward facing communication channels. The DoEd said it also put employees in charge of leading DEI initiatives on paid administrative leave. “These actions are in line with President Trump’s ongoing commitment to end illegal discrimination and wasteful spending across the federal government. They are the first step in reorienting the agency toward prioritizing meaningful learning ahead of divisive ideology in our schools,” the department said in a press release..............

 

FOREIGN AFFAIRS 

 

Trump's State Department 'Just Went Totally Nuclear on Foreign Assistance' Matt Vespa  After the 2024 election, the Biden administration knew what was coming in January: a massive crackdown on aid to Ukraine. Since Kamala Harris’ epic defeat last November, the Biden White House wasted little time, if any, sending hordes of cash to the eastern European nation, which became more of an outlet for liberals raging at Russia for supposedly interfering in the 2016 election than a national security priority. Like anything Biden touched, this issue became more unpopular as the months progressed. With Secretary of State Marco Rubio, all aid has been shut down. The gravy train to Kiev is over (via Politico).....

 Breitbart Business Digest: How Much Would It Cost to Buy Greenland? Donald Trump Jr. recently flew to Greenland for what he described as a “personal day-trip,” which is a pretty specific type of personal trip considering it involved a private jet nicknamed Trump Force One, a few MAGA hats, and a bunch of pictures for social media. Oh, and the trip came right after his father, President-elect Donald Trump, declared that buying Greenland was “an absolute necessity” for the U.S. So yeah, this wasn’t exactly a spur-of-the-moment vacation........

 

Trump Applies Heavy Pressure on Denmark for the Ownership of Greenland, Leaving Danish Government in Full “Crisis Mode” - NATO member Denmark spent the last four years single-mindedly worried about the Russian danger, but was surprised by the territorial ambitions by the fest-moving US President Donald J. Trump. After a telephone call between Trump and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, it has now been reported that the Danish Kingdom is in ‘crisis mode’ after Trump made a direct play for Greenland in a conversation being branded as ‘horrendous’..........

 

 It’s Beginning to Dawn on Denmark that Trump is Serious about Greenland Danish leaders grandstand while Greenland’s Prime Minister indicates a meeting with Trump is being set up and Sec. of State Rubio begins discussing Arctic Security Plans with Danish officials........The saga of President Donald Trump’s quest for a new relationship with Greenland continues.

 To recap events since Trump’s win on November 5th, he tasked his pick for Ambassador to Denmark with persuading the Danes to sell The United States the resource-rich Arctic land. Shortly after that announcement, Greenland suffered a major power outage caused by a downed transmission line. The blackout plunged the region into darkness as temperatures dropped below -27° F (-33°C).

 

Trump Re-Designates the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization - President Donald Trump re-designated the Houthi rebels in Yemen as a Foreign Terrorist Organization on his third day in office Wednesday, restoring a status that former President Joe Biden had reversed upon taking office in 2021........

 

Trump is becoming a master statesman and world leader -   Trump's foreign policy game is now nuanced and impressive.  During President Trump’s first term as president, many of us complained about his bad behavior: his boorish remarks, personal insults, badgering, and other sundry criticisms. But this time around, the President seems to be taking a more nuanced approach; at first glance, he is working from both ends of the behavioral spectrum. On the one hand, he is stating his hopes for the future without pressures on others; on the other hand, he’s playing hardball with his expectations. And he seems to be taking a strategic approach to whichever attitude he uses. Trump is taking a hardline approach to internal abuses and how they should be handled. An example is his reliance on Tom Homan, border czar, who said the following:.................

Teachers threaten violence against ICE officials who enter schools January 24, 2025 by Olivia Murray Using violence to subvert the government? Some might call this an insurrection. We already knew that the public education system was saturated with dysfunctional, unhinged, and frankly, stupid women, but that reality was showcased this week after President Trump authorized immigration enforcement officials to root out illegally present foreigners at previously off-limits locations. In light of the news that law enforcement officers would now be permitted to take illegals into custody in and on school campuses, a number of women employed by public school districts took to social media to announce that they would obstruct the law enforcement operations, even resorting to violence to shield illegal aliens from accountability.......

Everything is To Be Questioned!

By Rich Kozlovich

De Omnibus Dubitandum, is supposed to be the motto of science. Everything is to be questioned, but while it sounds great...and it is....unfortunately in all of human history anyone who actually lived up to that was persecuted, ergo, it's never been lived up to. People will always be people so self interest, jealousy, envy, resentment, and hate all come into play.  

When Jonas Salk discovered his vaccine for polio the entire world of epidemiology condemned him because he created his vaccine from dead viruses, and all the world knew you could only create vaccines from live viruses.  Well, he was right, and they were wrong, but they never forgave him and when the Sabin vaccine was created that's what they pushed, in spite of the fact some became infected with polio with Sabin's live virus vaccine, and no one ever was infected by the Salk vaccine except when one batch was produced improperly. 

I'm 78 now and I got the Salk vaccine, a series of three shots, painful shots, and I remember it was in the news and talked about by everyone, including my family, but Salk was right.   In recent decades science has not only failed to live up to that motto, it's worked against the very idea of questioning everything, or for that matter anything that interferes with what is now the holy grail of science. Grant money.   Not truth, grant money, and when science becomes rich, it becomes politics. When science become politics, it becomes tyrannical.

Grant money, especially government grant money has made the term scientific integrity an oxymoron, so, since science has abandoned it, I've declared salvage rights and taken it as my personal motto and now I lay claim to it as my property.  When science changes I'll give it back to them.

Okay, I can hear it now.  You're a retired bugman, who the heck do you think you are?   I'm the guy who "questions everything", and I'm the guy that keeps being right.  Let's take a stroll through time and go over the three greatest scientific frauds ever perpetrated on mankind.

COVID:

>

uesday, December 23, 2014How Many Constitute 97%?   Remember when that was the daily meme from the media and the green activist?  It was all fraudulent and they knew it was fraudulent.  So, if the bugman could see this so clearly, how could all these highly educated and prominent people not see it?

Shall Every Knee Bow:   

"Darwin’s theories are not, in the modern phrase, settled science. They aren’t even unsettled science. They are educated guesses at best. To be science, Wolfe reminds us, “There are five standard tests for a scientific hypothesis. Has anyone observed the phenomenon — in this case, Evolution — as it occurred and recorded it? Could other scientists replicate it? Could any of them come up with a set of facts that, if true, would contradict the theory? Could scientists make predictions based on it? Did it illuminate hitherto unknown or baffling areas of science? In the case of Evolution… well… no… no… no… no… and no.”' - Larry Thornberry on Tom Wolfe's, Kingdom of Speech

Truth is the sublime convergence of history and reality.  Everything were told has a historical foundation and context.  Everything were told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality.  If what's present to us fails in either category, it's wrong.  All that's left to do is develop the intellectual response to explain why it's wrong.

Three Days in January

By Rich Kozlovich

The title is a take off on the movie Seven Days in May which I think is a great movie, and I think more people should watch it and realize just how close America came to be taken over by a cabal of wannabe dictators in the military, the bureaucracy, and the Democrat party.  

“Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.” ― David Horowitz

Seven days in May was about a military take over, but the principles are identical to what we saw going on for the last four years, which actually started with the Obama administration.     

Well, there will be no "Seven Days in May" because Trump has, in just Three Days in January, scared the daylights of those working (and I use the word working loosely) in the Stygian stables of the federal government.  

I read where generals are saying they're willing to work with Trump.  What?  Talk about delusional!  They're not required to "work with" the President of the United States, they're require to work for the President of the United States.  They're required to salute, say "Yes Sir", shut their mouths, do what they're told or resign.  It's just that simple! 

I will say this, if there ever was a time to be a junior officer in America's military, it's now, as promotions are going to be coming fast as furious as Trump fires a lot of generals, admirals (Of which 41 of them are four star officers.  All during WWII there were only 7 four star generals) along with others who've failed to understand their proper role.  Some of whom need to be court martialed. 

1. Milley's game
2. General Mark Milley: “You’re Fired!”

I had conversation with a very good friend who is also very conservative, and I commented that Trump was 78, and I understand how his mind works because I'm 78, and time is running out for both of us, and make no mistake, he will not let anything get in his way to save the nation from the leftist insanity of the Democrats, academia, the media, the bureaucracy, the military, or corrupt insane billionaires like George Soros.  Nothing is going stop him this time, and make no mistake the efforts by the left to do so will be massive. 

He's going all out since time isn't on his side.  He has nothing to lose, and everything to gain.  What will that gain be?  Restoring sanity to the nation, and as a result, he may end up being the greatest President America ever elected since George Washington. 

The Election Wizard listed what Trump has done in his first three days:

1. Humiliated the World Economic Forum. 
2. Released JFK, RFK, and MLK assassination files. 
3. Fired woke DEI employees. 
4. Designated cartels as terrorist organizations. 
5. Authorized ICE to remove illegal immigrants. 
6. Restored freedom of speech. 
7. Revoked security clearances for certain officials.
8. Withdrawn the U.S. from the WHO. 
9. Pardoned January 6th political prisoners and other political prisoners. 
10. Moved toward controlling Greenland and the Panama Canal. 
11. Secured one trillion dollars in support from Saudi Arabia. 
12. Made progress in ending wars that started under Biden.

I remember when the media would cite FDR's first 100 days as the touchstone for what a President should be like.  That's horsepucky because his presidency was a socialist disaster the corrupt media and Hollywood supported.  Fortunately that media is dying, both electronic and print, and it won't be long before they're going down the drain, and no one cares what these celebrity pinheads think.  America and the world is hearing the truth for a change since the "alternative" media is now ascendant.  Even P&D is getting over 100,000 hits a month, from all over the world, and P&D isn't tied into any group or system that promotes P&D. 

1. CNN, NBC Planning Mass Lay-Offs Amid Tumbling Ratings, Revenue 
2. Disgraced CNN to Lay off Hundreds as Viewership Collapses

 If this is what Trump can do in three days, think what the next four years will be like.
