On the one hand, they don’t want to admit that they noticed it before most of the TV audience did, probaby five or six years ago. On the other hand, they want to make money selling books about how they helped the White House and the DNC hide it for six years.
President Trump is negotiating. This is not nuclear science. He asks for the stars and settles for the moon. But the media says Trump capitulated while Xi—who will pay triple the tariffs Americans will pay—won.
Want to know why newspapers are folding? They suck at gathering news.
Suppose a commercial airline needs to hire 12 pilots; 10 are qualified and hired; two who are not as qualified are hired to appease DEI goals. Who do you want flying the plane you’re on?
The story is about an associate commissioner in the bowels of the Social Security administration refusing to do his job because he is part of a mutinous glob of lifer government employees trying to sabotage Trump’s second presidency.
Final passage of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill likely will come in the fourth month of his second presidency despite majorities in the House and Senate that are so slim they make Twiggy look fat.
Watching the Trump’s Tariff War from afar, I find it hilarious. He has managed in the past week to get the world to accept a 10% tariff on everything while triggering Red China to engage in an actual tariff war that is financially suicidal for the communist regime.
Those who worry about the tariffs and Wall Street’s reaction should remember the song Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera). You know its chorus.

Bill Maher had Peggy Noonan on his show a short time back and surprisingly the subject of President Trump came up. Maher brought up a reporter’s stupid question about going to the site of the DC crash, which was over the Potomac. Maher paraphrased Trump’s answer, “And he went, ‘It’s the water. What do you …
Ah, censorship—America’s favorite unconstitutional tradition, wielded by both political parties whenever it suits their agenda.
President Trump’s return to the White House has split the press. On one side is a propaganda press that wishes to continue merrily chirping whatever the Party Line is today.

60 years ago, the liberal Supreme Court in 1965 gave the press a License to Lie in the NYT v. Sullivan case in which the Times ran a libelous ad by civil rights activists against police in Birmingham, Alabama. The court said, well, unless NYT meant actual malice, the libel was not a libel.
