In America It’s Another Week to be Proud of!

Is Biden poised to ban 2025 by executive order?

BY PHILIP GIRALDI

 

Something good happened in Washington last week, suggesting that the year might actually end on a high note without Joe Biden starting World War 3 and opening up all the country’s prisons for the on-the-street rehabilitation of the inmates where they will undoubtedly learn new skills. The good thing was the signing by Biden of a bill, perhaps with a little bit of help from his friends to make sure he spelled his name correctly, to make the Bald Eagle the official bird of the United States of America. The Eagle has been around the American Republic virtually since its foundation, appearing on the Great Seal and on various documents and even on currency, but it has never been officially dubbed the national bird.

All honor of place is due to the great bald eagle, but one might recall that Benjamin Franklin once suggested that the best choice for the national bird would be the wild turkey. And Biden still has time for mischief, including possibly ennobling turkeys or even the issuance of a pardon to himself for ignoring the United States Constitution for four years. And Joe might well choose to go preemptive by pardoning Hillary Clinton for all those classified emails and other documents that somehow disappeared from her home and office ten years ago. But apart from that, it is somehow reassuring to be able to keep repeating “only three more weeks of Biden and Harris” even though the potential for more damage to the Bill of Rights remains enormous.

Joe is well remembered for his open borders invitation which has produced huge crowds of happy American voters who were clearly not delighted to share the burden of millions of uneducated and unskilled foreigners who have demonstrated their ability to burn to death women sleeping on subway trains in New York City just to see what a flaming human body looks like. Oh, and the new Americans have to be housed and fed by the existing population as the process grinds on, but that is what the Democrats running nearly all the major US cities have come to expect from a cowed population that now understands that opposing government policies puts one on the FBI enemies list.

Joe and his stalwart band of liars have also connived in pulling together two wars in which the United States had no actual interest, arming and funding both Ukraine and Israel. Israel has said thank you by adroitly engaging in genocide against the Palestinian people while Kiev is somewhat clumsily occupied in trying to draw the US and NATO into open warfare against Russia, which would become a nuclear World War 3, so there is still time Joe! And then there is the new war going on in Syria where the US armed and trained militias are fighting similarly armed and trained militias controlled by the Turks, who are poised to divide what once was a place called Syria with the Israelis. The Zionists have for many years been planning to exterminate Lebanese and Syrians as well as Palestinians to create a Greater Israel.

But Joe and his buddies apparently are not satisfied with having started two wars when there are so many other places that need a stern dose of the old “rules based international order” to get their houses in order. China is number one on the list as it is outperforming the United States and the Europeans economically. And one can always use the excuse that it is threatening good old Taiwan to crank up a shooting war. And then there is Iran, everyone’s favorite when it comes to “who is next on the list?” Israel has eliminated Hezbollah and Syria, with US connivance and approval, to open the door to destroying the Iranian non-existent nuclear weapons program. Both Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been openly discussing that option as it would mean bombing Iran’s military bases as well as its technical research facilities. Donald Trump has been involved in similar discussions with Netanyahu.

How the attacks on Iran might play out is interesting to contemplate and might follow something like the model of what happed to Syria. Recent reports indicate that something unexpected took place during an Israeli bombing attack directed against a Syrian strategic military site located near the city of Tartus. Israel has been bombing Syria constantly since the government of Bashar al-Assad fell and it has particularly targeted any sites or weapons warehouses that the new government can use to defend itself or establish its territorial integrity. The bombing in question used what many suspect to be a tactical nuclear weapon in an effort to completely obliviate the Syrian military installation that houses scud surface-to-surface missiles among other high-level ordnance. A huge explosion was noted on seismographs located five hundred miles away, as far as Iznik in Turkey. The blast might have been caused by the detonation of the many weapons stored in the facility, but the suspicion grows that Israel, protected as always by Washington even when it commits mass murder or defies international conventions on banned weapons, continues to believe that it can do and get away with anything.

Even if Biden does not open any new doors to further deploy the US military, there is considerable danger that he will succeed in locking new President Donald Trump in the conflicts currently going on. Trump is not averse to using force when it is what he considers it the best option. He has lately said some ridiculous things, arguing that the United States considers the “ownership and control of Greenland” to be an “absolute necessity” for maintaining American “national security” and “freedom throughout the world.” This has naturally riled the people who actually live in Greenland who now are wondering how they are blocking freedom globally.

The statement on Greenland came after Trump in a conversation at Mar-a-Lago demoted Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada by giving him the title of “Governor”, calling Canada the 51st State of the United States “union,” which would “save on taxes and military protection.” Trump also has threatened to take over the Panama Canal and tweeted “we’ll see about that!” in response to the President of Panama’s declaration that every inch of the Panama Canal belongs to Panama. Trump then posted up a graphic on his website featuring “Welcome to the United States Canal!” above a picture of the American flag flying over a lock in the Panama Canal. Trump has also allegedly privately considered invading Mexico in order to combat the drug cartels on the US border and using American soldiers to block illegal immigrants seeking to cross.

Trump’s ignorance over who is doing what in the Middle East is astonishing but largely derives from his own personal and family attachment to Zionism and more particularly to his reliance on billionaire Jewish donors. The serial appointments of pro-Israel nominees to the key cabinet posts where decisions impacting Israel will be made for the next four years both will shape policy and guarantee that Trump stays on track with Israel, just as Joe Biden did when surrounded by his own Jewish neocons. Trump has already vowed that there will be “hell to pay” in the Middle East if the remaining Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip are not released by his January 20thinauguration.

Likewise, Israeli government officials, including Netanyahu, cannot wait for current Secretary of State Antony Blinken to be replaced by Florida congressman Marco Rubio. Blinken has been a complete tool of Israel but he projects a certain timidity. Rubio shows no such restraint and is very clear on what he believes to be true. He recently called Hamas “animals” and made clear that they are “100% to blame” for everyone killed in Israel and in Gaza during the current war. The moment he assumes control, there will be the “maximum pressure” that Trump often cites on Hamas to surrender or face the consequences. The Trump administration will supply Israel with bunker-busting bombs and whatever else is needed to kill anyone perceived to be an enemy of the Jewish state. Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has said, “If you love America, you should love Israel.” He will back that up by delivering on Israel’s military needs as defined by Netanyahu.

So there you go! The old year is ending on both a bang and a whimper. Joe Biden still has plenty of opportunity to raise hell and tie Trump to certain policies, particularly when it comes to continuing “useless” wars. Trump for his part will enter office owned by Israel and led by the nose by his belligerent cabinet. The actual needs and interests of the American people will be, as usual, invisible to the politicians and lost in the shuffle.

In no particular order, here are the biggest hoaxes and misinformation campaigns run by corporate media hacktivists this year.

 

BY SHAWN FLEETWOOD

 

Americans who have lived through Donald Trump’s political career are no strangers to legacy media disinformation. From the Russia collusion hoax to the “very fine people” Charlottesville lie, the litany of dishonest info ops from left-wing activists masquerading as journalists is too long to count.

And despite Americans’ waning trust in their ability to report news accurately and fairly, these Democrat Party yes-men show no signs of stopping. 

 

Like years before it, 2024 saw no shortage of media hijinks. Whether it was their coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign or participation in Democrats’ war on the Supreme Court, America’s propaganda press maintained its ethically bankrupt reputation.

So, in no particular order, here are the biggest hoaxes and misinformation campaigns run by legacy media hacktivists this year.

1. Bloodbath

Taking Trump’s remarks out of context is one of legacy media’s favorite pastimes — and March’s “bloodbath” nontroversy was no exception.

Speaking to rallygoers in Ohio, the former and soon-to-be president warned that the U.S. automobile industry would face an economic “bloodbath” if Democrats won the White House in 2024. Media acolytes quickly jumped on the former president’s comments, which they distorted to make it appear as if Trump was threatening a literal bloodbath if he lost his reelection bid.

 

Left-wing outlets such as NBC News, CBS News, The New York Times, and others ran headlines using this dishonest framing. 

“Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November,” a March 16 Politico headline reads.

2. War on SCOTUS

While Democrat mouthpiece ProPublica kickstarted a media war on the Supreme Court last year with smear attacks on Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, The New York Times took its hysteria to a whole new level.

In May, the outlet fabricated a controversy about an upside-down American flag flown at the Virginia residence of Alito and his wife, which the outlet claimed was a symbol adopted by “some” “Stop the Steal” protestors on Jan. 6, 2021. Justice Alito told the paper that he “had no involvement whatsoever” in flying the flag, but that it was placed there by his wife to protest a neighbor’s profane yard signs.

 

Despite claims of ethics violations from so-called “experts,” The Federalist’s Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland — who researched judicial ethics rules as a law clerk for years — noted that the Gray Lady’s “effort to smear Justice Alito as unethical based on the flag incident cannot withstand scrutiny” and “[t]he calls for Alito to recuse from [Jan. 6-related] cases have no basis in sanity.”

America’s “newspaper of record” wasn’t done attempting to tarnish Alito, however. A few days later, the Times ran another hit pieceagainst the justice over an “Appeal to Heaven” flag flown at one of his homes. While well-known and originating from the Revolutionary War, the Times attempted to gin up controversy over the flag by claiming it represents “a push to remake American government in Christian terms.”

3. Hiding Biden’s Cognitive Decline

If you’re looking for an example of how the media interfere in our elections, look no further than their concentrated effort to hide Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. 

When videos showcasing Biden’s senility went viral on social media over the summer, media hacktivists adopted the White House’s baseless claim the clips were “cheap fakes.” Only after the president’s disastrous, lie-filled debate performance against Trump did the media realize they could no longer hide this massive scandal from the public.

Of course, their subsequent acknowledgment of Biden’s faltering health clearly had nothing to do with the republic’s well-being and everything to do with their concerns it could harm Democrats’ prospects of holding the White House in November.

4. Project 2025

It didn’t take long for the media to make The Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” their go-to bogeyman during the 2024 campaign. 

Developed to provide a conservative roadmap for the incoming Trump administration, the plan became the subject of hyperbolic articles and Democrat speeches designed to brainwash voters into believing it would destroy the country as we know it if Trump were to get elected. In actuality, Trump has repeatedly said he was not affiliated with Project 2025, and the proposal recommends policies conservatives have supported for decades.

5. What’s a Border Czar?

After Democrat oligarchs orchestrated a silent coup to replace Biden with Kamala Harris on the 2024 ticket, the media jumped into action to cover up the vice president’s myriad failures — including her role as “border czar.”

To hide Harris’ incompetence from voters, left-wing journos pretended Biden never tapped her to oversee the invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border. Left-wing rags like Axios went as far as to claim Harris “never actually had” the “border czar” moniker — despite the outlet repeatedly referring to her as such in previous articles.

6. Trump’s Arlington Cemetery Visit

Obviously seeking to tarnish Trump ahead of the November election, anti-truth NPR ran an anonymously sourced hit piece attacking the former president for — wait for it — visiting Arlington National Cemetery at the request of Gold Star families.

The smear campaign was aimed at fomenting a controversy about Trump’s team taking photos and videos of the former president’s visit alongside the loved ones of those killed during Biden’s disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. The media hoax didn’t sit well with the Gold Star families, who blasted Kamala Harris, Democrats, and, by extension, their corporate press allies for attempting to politicize the event.

7. Show Me the Garbage!

Legacy media propagandists had their hands full in the closing days of the 2024 election after Biden referred to the tens of millions of Americans who support Trump as “garbage.”

Amid fears that the president’s remarks could hurt Harris’ electoral prospects, the “democracy dies in darkness” crowd rushed to cover up the scandal. While Politico’s Johnathan Lemire employed the media’s classic “Republicans pounce!” framing, NPR’s David Folkenflik decided to play doctor and mind reader for a day, telling his X followers he “listened to [Biden’s comments] several times” and came away with the conclusion that the president’s supposed “stutter” problem is to blame.

8. Trump’s Liz Cheney Comments

One of the biggest media-driven hoaxes concocted this year was the manipulation of Trump’s remarks about Liz Cheney.

While speaking at an event days before the Nov. 5 election, Trump critiqued Cheney’s obsession with overseas military adventurism. The former president referred to Cheney as a “radical war hawk” and defended the troops forced to fight in the never-ending conflicts neocons like Cheney would never personally partake in. 

“Let’s put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it … when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Gee, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,’” Trump said.

In the wake of Biden’s “garbage” smear, the media rushed to distortTrump’s comments to make it appear as if he was calling for Cheney to be executed via firing squad. The disinformation operationrepresented a clear attempt to smear Trump ahead of the election and boost Harris’ prospects.

9. What Assassination Attempts?

If you watched and read nothing but legacy media, there’s a good chance you’d know little to nothing about the two assassination attempts against Trump this year. 

After a longtime Democrat donor allegedly tried to kill the incoming president on his Palm Beach golf course in September, left-wing propagandists at NBC News and The Washington Post downplayed the attempted murder as nothing more than an “incident.” Outlets like Time magazine whitewashed the suspect’s history of donating to Democrats, characterizing him in a tweet as a “58-year-old with unclear political ideology.”

Such dishonest propaganda isn’t surprising, however. It’s the same playbook these media hacks — who spent years leading an “assassination prep” campaign with horrific smears and lies directed at Trump — deployed when initially “covering” the first assassination attempt against Trump in July.

10. The Atlantic’s Hitler Hysteria

In a last-ditch attempt to salvage Kamala Harris’ flailing presidential bid, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg — who ran the debunked 2020 “suckers” and losers” smear — published an anonymously sourced October hit piece with claims that Trump said he wanted “the kind of generals that Hitler had.” It also contained accusations that Trump expressed anger about paying for the funeral services of a murdered Army soldier.

To the media, it didn’t matter that the soldier’s sister blasted Goldberg for his anti-Trump fabrications, or that numerous former Trump administration officials debunked the bogus claims. What mattered was regurgitating The Atlantic’s slanderous hatchet job, which theydid with no questions asked.
