CNN Hires Trump As News Anchor To Recover Lost Viewers | The Babylon Bee

"ATLANTA, GA—In order to bring back the viewers it's lost since the 2020 election ended, CNN is rehiring the biggest draw for its audience: former President Trump, who will host all the news segments every night on prime time.

"What we've discovered since the election is people only watched our station to see Trump, so we're hiring him to anchor our programs," said Bob CNN, owner and founder of the cable news station. "This will finally get our ratings out of the dump."...Read all.

We Just Got Even More Proof that Stay-At-Home Orders Lethally Backfired - Foundation for Economic Education

We Just Got Even More Proof that Stay-At-Home Orders Lethally Backfired - Foundation for Economic Education:

• A new study finds that lockdown orders didn’t reduce overall mortality, and may have even increased it.

"... now, yet another study suggests that the benefits wrought by our collective sacrifice were negligible at best—and that stay-at-home orders may even have increased overall mortality.
In a new paper, economists from the University of Southern California and the RAND Corporation examined the effectiveness of “shelter-in-place” (SIP) mandates, aka stay-at-home orders, using data from 43 countries and all 50 US states. 

The experts analyze not just deaths from COVID-19, but “excess deaths,” a measure that compares overall deaths from all causes to a historical baseline.

...So, to find out whether stay-at-home orders truly helped more than they hurt, examining excess deaths, not just pandemic outcomes, is key.
The results aren’t pretty.
“We fail to find that shelter-in-place policies saved lives,” the authors report. 

Indeed, they conclude that in the weeks following the implementation of these policies, excess mortality actually increases—even though it had typically been declining before the orders took effect. 

And across all countries...Read all.

Local Reporter Secretly Records Her Bosses: Confirms Trump Was Right All Along on Cult-Like Media

Local Reporter Secretly Records Her Bosses: Confirms Trump Was Right All Along on Cult-Like Media: 

The clips revealed a cult-like environment in which higher-ups and government ad dollars can dictate content. A photographer says the station hires producers straight out of college because “[t]hey just regurgitate what they are fed.” Reporting on hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 was nixed. A sales coordinator says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “are in the pocket” of the station because they spend so much ad money.

A HUGE message here!

 

Journalists Are Completely Out Of Touch With America And Reality - Tilting At Windmills

Journalists Are Completely Out Of Touch With America And Reality - Tilting At Windmills
"When you get up in the morning, what are you worried about?
For most of us, there are degrees of worry. 

You may be predominantly worried about some work task, but on a different level, you might be worried about, say, terrorism.
You’re concerned about both, of course, but there are layers of that concern.

• It seems that left-leaning publication Axios doesn’t really get that.

...The big picture: Workers are burned out not just by their jobs but by the cultural drama around them — fallout from the Trump presidency, continued police shootings, and the consequences of Jan. 6.
That’s right. 

People aren’t interested in working because of what happened at the Capitol on January 6th or because of police shootings. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

...Here’s what National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke had to say on the subject.
Once again, I must ask: Has the average member of the press corps ever actually met anyone in America?
This isn’t a conservative-vs.-progressive thing.

It’s not a Republican-vs.-Democrat thing. 

It’s not a coastal-elite-vs.-flyover-country thing. 

It’s not even a Trump thing.

•  It’s a journalists-vs.-normal-people thing.

Outside of the narcissistic and incestuous Thunderdome that houses the American media, it remains the case that people simply do not think in the way that the Beltway-media class believes they do. 

They are not traumatized by the daily news. 

They do not make key life decisions based upon the behavior of the president, nor wait for him to leave office before deciding that they are so disturbed that they no longer wish to work.

...And when they are looking to enjoy a good “cultural drama,” they do not look for it in the same places as the editors of the Washington Post do...Read all.

Washington Post condemned for video urging Americans to set up 'white accountability groups' | Daily Mail Online

Washington Post is condemned for video urging Americans to set up 'white accountability groups' and force themselves into 'a period of deep shame' over their skin color

The video is the latest in a podcast series called The New Normal hosted by Nicole Ellis

It aired on Friday, and suggests white people segregate themselves into groups to discuss how white people have harmed people of color over history

One expert on the episode, Resmaa Manakem, suggests people take part in these groups for years before they can confront people of color

Trauma therapist Ilyse Kennedy said she took part in one such group and said it was important for white people to feel 'a period of deep shame'

The episode faced backlash, with one saying the suggestions were akin to a 'pseudoreligious movement' and constituted 'neoracism'  

The Sick Joke of "Reopening" After the Scamdemic

The Sick Joke of "Reopening" After the Scamdemic

"Oh, how nice. 

Close small businesses for a year. 

Then reopen them, but empower the government to pay all the former employees 3x what the small businesses are able to pay. 

• Destroy market pricing, the foundation of any free market economy. 
• Destroy the moral character of millions by paying them to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and telling them that it makes them superior, and they are entitled to at least this much because people are “mean”, and mean people suck. 

Then, in the midst of it all, pass minimum wage laws and wonder why more businesses shut down and the cost of goods and services skyrocket. 

These are not innocent mistakes. 

These are not errors. 

They are the deliberate destruction of a society and the world’s greatest economy by what we call a government…and what is really nothing more than a glorified bunch of punks, idiots, demented despots, cackling imbeciles, self-righteous narcissists and irredeemably nihilistic twits."

America's shame!

In a mere four months, here is a short list of problems that seem to be self-inflicted by the new Administration.

‘Catastrophic impact’: Tasmanian devils ‘wipe out’ large penguin colony on Australian island as animal introduction goes wrong

"Australia’s endangered Tasmanian devils have eliminated a local colony of penguins and decimated other bird fauna after they were brought to Maria Island in a bid to save them from extinction due to animal cancer.

According to The Australian newspaper, the devils were introduced to the tiny island off Tasmania’s east coast in 2012 as an “insurance population” due to the fears that a raging facial tumor disease would make the raccoon-sized creatures disappear completely.

The arrival of the world’s largest surviving carnivorous marsupials took a horrible toll on the island’s bird colony, as the initial group of 28 devils on Maria grew to 100 in just a few years...Read all.

The city where a Juneteenth parade is fine, but 4th of July parade is canceled
"Now that Juneteenth is officially a federal holiday, people have an excuse to schedule yet another parade every year...

But how many parades would be considered too many? 

We may be finding out the answer to that question in Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. 

• You see, after President Biden signed the law creating Juneteenth as a federal holiday, Evanston quickly launched a celebration, including a parade. 
• And since June is also gay pride month, the city is planning a Gay Pride parade for next weekend. 

And the week after that will be the 4th of July. 

But the magic maximum number of parades might be three because there will be no parade on Independence Day...Read all.

"The Biden administration is speeding up the placement of young illegal immigrants in cities around the nation with little or no notice to local officials, a “reckless” result of the president’s bid to erase the border legacy of former President Donald Trump, according to a leading GOP critic.

Indiana Sen. Todd Young told Secrets that there has been a 45% surge in children that entered the United Statesunaccompanied by an adult being sent to the Hoosier State. 

..."These experiences sow seeds of mistrust in our communities, and work to intentionally subvert the will of the people for a secure border and a clear, lawful immigration process," they said in a letter to a Senate committee...Read all.
