Surprise!  "Journalists" mislead public on Trump's Tariffs --

 

No one anticipated anything this disconnected from reality. And yet our top journalists still tried to explain what Trump is doing in respectful terms. As a result, they badly misled their readers and viewers. presswatchers.org/2025/04/main...

Not good;  wondering what Russian asset they're going to install --

 

They just fired the head of the NSA. I’m not sure what that means exactly, but in the Trump era I’d bet it’s not good.

Imagine you’re Timothy Haugh, a decorated general, confirmed unanimously by the Senate to head the NSA. And while you’re traveling abroad, you find out the President just fired you on the advice of a 9/11 truther whose bigotry once got her banned by Uber.

They set the tone --

 

Not just ridiculous. It set the tone for the Democrats neutering themselves (highlighted by the Schumer sellout) that's been driving the base mad ever since. They're defending a rotten status quo rather than articulating a better way forward than Trump/Musk.
