Remember, Posobiec co-wrote a book that declared progressives were "unhumans" and that praised Franco and Pinochet for their murderous war on leftists. That is, the guy who promoted Pizzagate essentially endorsed political violence. I wrote about that here:

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...
Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt. The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement." Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Ellison may end up breaking TV entirely. Paramount is wedded to a doomed strategy of cable channels in an era of cord-cutting. There's a scenario where this all blows up and the outcome is not right-wing CNN, it's no CNN.
Warner Bros. Discovery was in the process of un-merging itself, after enduring the disastrous economics of an entertainment conglomerate on two occasions. The AT&T-Time Warner merger was the first to be reversed, and the merger with Discovery was next on the block. The company announced that it would hive off its cable channels from the studio and prestige HBO and streaming business, much like Comcast did earlier this year with its cable networks, which are now part of a spin-off called Versant. But Ellison is preempting that split, as his bid is for the whole company—cable networks, studio, and streamer. Paramount has pitched a “revival” of its cable stalwarts like MTV, something that seems completely ahistorical and ill-fated. Cable is if not a dead medium then a dying one; about a third of American households have dropped their cable hookup since 2010, and the vast majority of rotting cable channels just flip through reruns and old movies with no differentiation. If David Ellison thinks that MTV can become a cultural phenomenon again by, as The Wall Street Journal reports, “taking advantage of its archive of interviews and music documentaries with bands from the ’80s and ’90s,” I think he’ll find that selling nostalgia on a distribution system many people don’t have anymore is a lost cause. The Journal notes that the median age of MTV viewers is 56. Paramount is far more invested in cable than its fellow studios, and the bid’s inclusion of Warner Bros. Discovery’s cable channels as well reflects this commitment. But Ellison also wants to cut $2 billion from total operations at Paramount at the same time. The stated idea is to “revive the networks without increasing spending on them.” Good luck with that!

Could CNN be under the editorial direction of Bari Weiss, this time next year?

It's not out of the question—at all.

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.
If the SEALs were unsure whether the mission had been compromised before they fired, they had no doubt afterward. The plan required the SEALs to abort immediately if they encountered anyone. North Korean security forces could be coming. There was no time to plant the device. The shore team swam to the boat to make sure that all of the North Koreans were dead. They found no guns or uniforms. Evidence suggested that the crew, which people briefed on the mission said numbered two or three people, had been civilians diving for shellfish. All were dead, including the man in the water. Officials familiar with the mission said the SEALs pulled the bodies into the water to hide them from the North Korean authorities. One added that the SEALs punctured the boat crew’s lungs with knives to make sure their bodies would sink.

BREAKING: Trump's Fed Nominee just confirmed to @reed.senate.gov that he will NOT resign from the White House while serving at the Fed.

President Trump is trying to take over the Fed and install his lackeys.

Trump's takeover would make life far more expensive for American families.

Teachers and librarians in Texas could face criminal charges for giving minors access to certain materials.

A new law strips away a key legal defense that once protected educators accused of distributing controversial content.
