Comment on Trump Says Media Is ‘Vital’ to Making America Great

The Washington Post has a lengthy report about the incident, which happened at a California conference: Hegseth’s attorney, Timothy Parlatore, said that Hegseth was “visibly intoxicated” at the time of the incident, and maintained that police who were contacted a few days after the encounter by the woman concluded that “the Complainant had been the aggressor in the encounter.” Police have not confirmed that assertion. Hegseth agreed to pay an undisclosed amount to the woman because he feared that revelation of the matter “would result in his immediate termination from Fox,” where he worked as a host, the statement said. The statement came after a detailed memo was sent to the Trump transition team this week by a woman who said she is a friend of the accuser.

Former Republican Congressman and now Fox News host Trey Gowdy is one of the few Foxers to trash Trump's nominee for Attorney General Matt Gaetz A Fox News panel was discussing whether Republican senators would get Trump's cabinet nominees through the process, when Gowdy bashed Trump's pick. GOWDY: He just picked Todd Blanche, both of whom would be fantastic. They would do exactly what you want it done. You don't have to pick between character and competency.

Donald Trump who continually claimed he had no contact whatsoever with Project 2025, immediately tapped Brendan Carr, wrote the chapter on the FCC for Project 2025, to head the FCC. Lying liars, all of them. Brendan Carr seems to believe "DEI" is worse then cancer. The FCC’s most recent budget request said that promoting DEI was the agency’s second highest strategic goal.

Senator-elect Adam Schiff made clear he wasn't going to allow Trump's threats to sic the military on members of Congress such as himself and Nancy Pelosi while discussing the Gaetz nomination this Sunday on CNN. Host Jake Tapper asked Schiff what he thought of Trump nominating Gaetz, and Speaker Johnson's mealymouthed response when asked about refusing to release the House ethics committee report on Gaetz.

Fox News hosts began rolling out their MAGA propaganda supporting RFK Junior's claim that he will make school lunches healthier, kids happier, and people skinnier. The anti-vax zealot who loves roadkill has become a health food savior. It's so ludicrous, but Fox News has been given their orders and they obey. Amen. How quickly they forget that 10 years ago when Michelle Obama instituted federal guidelines trying to improve the foods and health of our schoolkids, these same creeps railed, ripped, and attacked her as though she was forcing kids to drink battery acid. If the kids want to be obese, it's their right.

When a phenomenon like this happens, you take it seriously—even when it’s something seemingly silly and definitely ephemeral.
