Americans no longer trust the legacy national media to report the news fairly or accurately. In fact, only eight percent of Americans have a great deal of trust in mass media. That figure is even lower among Republicans—sitting at a mere three percent. But it wasn’t always this way. All the way up through the 1990s, the majority of Americans trusted the media. When they turned on their TV, they felt like they were watching balanced programming that reflected their values. Reporters and journalists that lived in the same communities as their viewers anchored daily and nightly news shows at…
Chinese state media reported on Tuesday that 66-year-old Ma Xingrui has been expelled from the Politburo, the 24-member ruling body of the Chinese Communist Party. Ma is the third member of the current Politburo to be expelled on vague charges of corruption, and he does not appear to be coming in for what China experts call a “soft landing.” The Politburo, more formally known as the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, is the top-level executive committee of the bureaucracy-crazed Chinese regime. One of its seats is reserved for the General Secretary of the Party,…
Monday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) insisted U.S. investigators should at least consider the possibility of Russian foul play in the death of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). “One of your colleagues in the Senate, Senator Cornyn, is not ruling out foul play,” host Jesse Watters said. “Lindsey had gotten back from Ukraine that same day. You know the Russians are notorious. Do you think that that’s a possibility?” Hawley replied, “Listen, I think that the FBI, I know, is involved in this. I think it is only wise and smart to look at every…
Todd Blanche was visibly frustrated during an exchange with Sen. Cory Booker as part of his confirmation hearing Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee. “You can ask the questions, but you cannot control my answers,” Blanche said, raising his voice. “I’m under oath, and I can answer the questions as I choose to answer them.” The back-and-forth took place as Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, was questioning Blanche — President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as attorney general —about attending a dinner hosted by David Ellison, the head of Paramount, while the Justice Department was investigating Paramount’s $111 billion acquisition…
Former President Joe Biden on Wednesday said he is releasing a book detailing his presidency and his decision to run for reelection and eventually step aside, which will publish shortly after this year’s midterm elections. The book, “Promise Me, America,” will be released Nov. 17, he said in a book trailer on X. Former first lady Jill Biden released her own memoir last month in which she opened up about Biden’s disastrous debate in 2024 that led to his withdrawal. Democrats have criticized her book for rehashing the painful election and distracting from the party’s future. Amid his 2024 reelection…

The debate around AI reminds me of the debate around transsexuals. At first, everyone tiptoed around, not sure of what to think and worried about saying the wrong thing. Then, after a couple of years of cowardly pussyfooting, someone finally said, “Y’all, a guy can’t magically become a woman.” And because one person said it, more and more people found the courage to repeat an obvious truth: that no amount of surgical mutilation, online censorship, media propaganda, and emotional blackmail makes it possible to switch sexes. It’s been the same around AI. At first, everyone felt the need to huddle…
During a portion of an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” President Donald Trump stated that energy targets in Iran will be hit and “We’re going to knock out all of their power plants. We’re going to knock out all of their bridges, unless they get to the table and negotiate.” Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst asked, “Do you anticipate that the strikes we’re seeing this week against Iran will expand? Are you considering hitting energy targets or other locations inside of Iran?” Trump responded, “They’re going to expand. I’ll save the…
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta faces a federal lawsuit from 26 employees who claim the company’s AI systems targeted workers on medical, parental, or family leave for termination as part of the company’s massive layoff. ABC News reports that the lawsuit, filed this week in federal court in Oakland, California, challenges Meta’s recent workforce reduction that affected approximately 8,000 employees, representing about 10 percent of the company’s total workforce. The plaintiffs allege that Meta’s selection process for the May layoffs relied heavily on AI systems that inherently disadvantaged employees exercising their rights to protected leave. According to the complaint, Meta utilized various…
