12 Reasons Why NPR And PBS Deserved To Be Defunded
‘No media outlet has a constitutional right to taxpayer subsidies, and the Government is entitled to determine which categories of activities to subsidize.’ - Brianna LymanOn Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order defunding NPR and PBS — two taxpayer-subsidized “news” organizations that have consistently published propaganda.
Perhaps the most egregious example of why NPR should be defunded — and should have been five years ago — is their refusal to cover the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the lead up to the 2020 election...

Trump’s ace in the hole - By D. Parker
There was a time when there was just bias, but over time it’s become so much worse, to the point that the nation’s socialist media have become a propaganda mill.
President Trump is changing all that, with one important but quiet aspect: a revolution in media coverage.
Though it may not seem obvious, there are four indicators of what is taking place, so it’s important to note and encourage these developments, along with everything else...

- New media are now in places that were the purview of the nation’s socialist cabal.
- The Trump administration is availing itself of these new media outlets.
- New media content creators are short-circuiting the nation’s socialist media.
- The result is that the nation’s socialist media are being diminished...
This has become painfully obvious in recent days, with videos showing media source after media source parroting the same word or phrase:
The word has gone out: “CHAOS!”
The word has gone out: “CHAOS!”
“In this moment”
“Escalation”
In the past, they were able to push blatant lies such as the “Russia collusion hoax” or the “very fine people” lie.
But those days are past...
Has he had a stroke??!!-----James Carville says Democrats can't afford to lie like 'Republicans do' because they would lose credibility.
James Carville says Democrats can't afford to lie like 'Republicans do' because they would lose credibility - Jeffrey Clark
Democratic political strategist James Carville expressed frustration with the state of his party on his podcast Thursday, arguing that Republicans are able to get away with lying while Democrats are held to a higher standard of credibility.
Talking to guest Ryan Lizza, a journalist, he said, "People say to me all the time, ‘James, why don’t we just do like the Republicans do? Just stand up and lie?’ Because our f---ing people wouldn’t stand for it!" Carville said. "If I stood up and lied, you would be the first person to say, ‘James Carville lost all credibility last night when he said X, Y and Z.’"...Democratic political strategist James Carville expressed frustration with the state of his party on his podcast Thursday, arguing that Republicans are able to get away with lying while Democrats are held to a higher standard of credibility...

'Generation COVID' bears witness to devastating toll of school closings | Blaze Media:
Years later, Sey sat in a comfortable position as a Levi’s executive when another injustice forced her to speak out. She watched with alarm as leaders kept kids locked out of school during the COVID-19 pandemic.
That stance eventually forced her exit from Levi’s corporate team and branded her a radical in the eyes of some pandemic hardliners. Years later, Sey’s position has been more than vindicated. Legacy media outlets confirm the damage done to students who couldn’t participate in school during the pandemic.
We're Finally Learning More About the Closed Santa Ynez Reservoir - John Sexton
Yesterday, the NY Times published a follow up story about the Santa Ynez reservoir after the city finally released a bunch of new documents in response to an FOIA request.

Back in January, when firefighters were doing their best to fight the blaze in the Pacific Palisades, the fire hydrants started running out of water.

Developer Rick Caruso commented about this on local television and his comments went viral.
That led to this amazing video in which a local news anchor tried to debunk Caruso's claims only to have a reporter on scene correct him seconds later.
Watch the whole clip.
Later that day city officials admitted the Palisades had run out of water...

New Yorkers are getting robbed blind.
New Yorkers are paying through the nose because of this backroom dealing.
It allows the state to spend a staggering $254 billion in the coming year.
That's more than it costs to run Florida and Texas combined, even though New York has 33 million fewer people to serve.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state's two legislative leaders announced a budget deal Monday night on how much to tax New Yorkers and how much the state government will spend in the coming fiscal year, which starts June 1.
From the smattering of information available, it's likely this deal will necessitate additional tax hikes months from now that could trigger an economic death spiral for the state and its largest city.

- Here's the kicker.
- This is a backroom deal, done in secrecy.
- No press allowed, and none of the other 211 members of the legislature were permitted in the room...
Good Intentions: Bad Results John Stossel
Government makes most things worse.
That's because the handouts encourage people to become dependent.
- Lyndon Johnson launched a War on Poverty; Richard Nixon a War on Drugs.
That's because the handouts encourage people to become dependent.
Welfare even discouraged marriage because a single parent gets a bigger check.
As a result, welfare created something never seen before in America: a permanent "underclass" -- generations raised without fathers, generations who stay poor and passive...
The War on Drugs also had unintended consequences.
"When you launch a war on drugs ... you create huge profits for cartels because there's so much at stake," says Brook.
That led to more illegal drugs, and "massive corruption among police."...

- Brook's point is not that people shouldn't try to help the poor, the addicted and the planet; it's that individuals do it better than government ever will.
- "All these government programs that regulate and control, they institutionalize mediocrity at best."
Trump says Harvard will lose tax-exempt status * WorldNetDaily * by Nick Pope, Daily Caller News Foundation
Trump says Harvard will lose tax-exempt status * WorldNetDaily * by Nick Pope, Daily Caller News Foundation:
Harvard currently has 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the federal government, meaning that the university does not pay taxes on its net earnings while donors are able to get deductions on their income taxes. If Trump follows through with removing the university's nonprofit status, Harvard would have to start paying considerable amounts of taxes, and donations could dwindle if the incentives change.
The Trump administration has cracked down aggressively on elite universities in the U.S. through his first 100 days in office, freezing funding and threatening further action unless university administrators take on antisemitism on campus and cut DEI.
