Barron’s upstairs in the White House seeing what stock he can short tomorrow when his old man gets home and posts some more China sh*t. Market manipulation is real.

The story is thinly sourced, fearmongering, tabloid drek. It elevates the voices of a handful of cops who happen to share The Free Press’s editorial line: hostility toward Mamdani. It’s highly unlikely that CBS would have published this before Weiss took the reins.

Would CBS News Have Run This Story a Week Ago?

Bari Weiss’s fingerprints can already be seen.

Major airports are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, and there’s a reason: it violates the Hatch Act

You can’t use taxpayer resources for partisan attacks. Period.

Teapot Dome scandal? Watergate? These are minuscule compared to what's uncovered every week with Trump. And just imagine what we haven't yet learned. Release the Epstein Files. Impeach and remove. Now.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Even Newsmax has joined with many other large media companies refusing to sign on to Snowflake Pete Hegseth’s military reporting censorship regime.

Still waiting on Fox.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

Russians are shocked by the surge of hatred toward Russia in Europe over the past four years. How could that be? Why?

It doesn’t occur to them that maybe invading a neighboring state has something to do with it.
