These Karoline Leavitt "press conferences" are completely worthless propaganda full of shameless lies. They should be ignored by the media and all of us.
Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime
LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

Mason going for the jugular on the BBC News confirms that Robbie Gibb has taken his 'outing' at the Select Committee rather badly. A reminder: a grifting MP absent from his constituency, lying about the UK to the US Senate, deflecting claims of Russian collusion & racism, is the real news story.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

I see Nigel Farage seems to have survived evidence of overt antisemitic behaviour from his teens and constituents of Clacton voicing anger at his greed and dereliction of his duty as an MP. Can’t find any demands for his resignation.

WATCH: “What makes you say the 2nd strike was lawful? Did Hegseth say everyone should be killed? Does pardoning the drug trafficking Honduran ex-president undercut the message?”
Leavitt now admits a follow-up bombing took place to kill the survivors, insists it was “lawful”

50 pages of Epstein files that Rep.Thomas Massie received was utterly useless and unreadable due to being completely redacted! There’s literally nothing there to investigate or disclose... This is what a cover up looks like to protect those involved.

Astonishing #BBC's #ChrisMason happy to put all this effort into anti-Labour reports, yet sits silently at numerous reports from Farage's classmates, recalling his racism. Why is that? '#Directly'?

Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

That's how I see it. The comms could have been better from the government, but the media had been banging on about a fiscal headroom concern. The chancellor addresses the concern and gets hammered for it. And only needs Trump to do another stupid thing to create more fiscal worries.

They tried to catastrophise the coming budget and when it turned out to be actually quite good they turned on the cha cellar and said it’s her fault, she lied! Morons trying to save their reputations which are in the doldrums, not long To go I think until the news part of BBC gets emptied.

BBC commentator stating this morning, "How did we get here?". Answer is that he and his colleagues are stirring up what is a non story. It could potentially unsettle the markets a little. And these correspondents would then blame the government of course. It's shabby behaviour from shabby people.
