From ‘Science’ to Silence: The COVID Narrative Collapse and the PsyOp We All Lived Through
Once upon a time—say, about four years ago—if you so much as breathed the phrase “lab leak” or dared question the holiness of Dr. Fauci’s ever-changing gospel, you’d be digitally drawn and quartered by Big Tech. YouTube would demonetize you faster than a fact-checker could say “misinformation,” and Facebook’s Ministry of Truth would slap a …

NYT Reports On The Resistance

Fishing with Dynamite: How Trump Ferrets Out Spies (and You Fell for It)
Don’t let the headlines fool you—what looks like an “accidental leak” from the Trump camp might just be a baited hook in a barrel full of blue-check piranhas.
Trump Unleashes The Crossfire Hurricane

Making Excuses for the Gangs of Philadelphia
If there’s one thing of which no one can accuse Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Ellie Rushing it’s laziness. Her author profile states that her beat is “cover(ing) criminal justice and law enforcement in Philadelphia, including how crime and the court systems impact communities,” and there’s certainly plenty of that in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia. …

Their ratings dropped because their opinions and reporting are dull, predictable and boring. The constant barrage of sustained outrage over misrepresented events such as labeling as a …
Mocking Woke Speech; The real reason is it is the Gulf of America is the name bugs the right people
Before I start today’s diatribe, I have one question. Al Sharpton called for a boycott of buying anything at major retailers and drive-through restaurants. Does this include shoplifting and looting? Asking for a friend.
The Democrats These Last 75 Years
The Kennedy years are often called Camelot. However, it was not quite the romance the legacy media and aging Democrats would have you believe.
Meg Nooner, True Conservative
Bill Maher had Peggy Noonan on his show a short time back and surprisingly the subject of President Trump came up.

AP’s Silly Gulf War; I hate to say it but the press hates free speech
AP is upset because Trump won’t let its reporters into the Oval Office because AP keeps dead-naming the Gulf of America. Erik Wemple, media critic for the Jeff Bezos Post, wrote a column, “This is a perfectly fine hill for the AP to die on.”
