- 2025 Elections; unbalanced coverage is consistent!
- A NewsBusters study of 63 mayoral election jokes on five major late-night shows from January 6 to October 29, 2025, finds the hosts overwhelmingly trained their fire on Zohran Mamdani’s opponents—while giving the Democratic Socialist nominee a near-pass. (MRC-Newsbusters/Alex Christy)
- In the Trump Era, the late-night comedy shows have been looking for any glimmer of light they can find, and over the course of the first ten months of 2025, they think they have found it in New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. As the industry puts itself squarely in the middle of Mamdani Mania, it has done its part for the campaign by telling 95 percent of its mayoral election jokes about his rivals. Only three out of 63 jokes were about the socialist front-runner.
- No matter the state, no matter the city; Dem-Com candidates get kid glove treatment!
- What has the media coverage been like in New Jersey governor’s race?

Segment Topic:
- Friday’s ‘CBS Mornings’ had just over 90 seconds on Virginia Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones’s texts; but gave about equal time to the Young Republicans group chat messages. This marked the first mention on the broadcast networks after an aside on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ and a few seconds on Wednesday’s ‘NBC Nightly News.’
- MSM finally got around to reporting in Jay Jones text messages, however, they buried the story behind Young-Republican group chat!
- After weeks ducking the murderous text messages sent by Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones, the legacy media appear to have finally found a text scandal they like. The Young Republicans’ text scandal as broken by Politico has given the legacy news the cover it needs.

- The powerless Chinese prisoners are usually Uyghurs, who as practicing Muslims don’t drink, or Falun Gong practitioners, who don’t smoke or drink and who live relatively healthy lives. Both minorities are persecuted and imprisoned in China.

- Should Greenwich Village residents worry that they are going to be tossed off the roofs of buildings?

Segment Topic:
- THE fate of President Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs is now in the hands of the SCOTUS.
- Conservative and liberal justices sharply questioned Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the Trump administration’s method for enacting the tariffs, which critics say infringes on the power of Congress to tax.
- There were 6 Takeaways from Supreme Court Hearing on Trump’s Tariffs: (The Epoch Times/Sam Dorman and Matthew Vadum)
- The justices wrestled with how to view Congress’s language and whether Trump was encroaching on congressional authority.
- Supreme Court justices appeared deeply skeptical about the legality of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump against most of the world’s nations.
- Conservative and liberal justices sharply questioned Solicitor General D. John Sauer about the justification of the tariffs, which critics say infringes on the power of Congress to tax.
- Lower courts say Trump lacked authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs on imports from Canada, China, Mexico and other trade partners.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attended the arguments, Trump did not. (CNBC)
- Should their apparent skepticism or tone in questioning be considered a NO vote?
- Another embarrassing moment for the DEI Justice: Ketanji Brown Jackson, who confused Lincoln with Nixon.
- The most critical issue for the country: Refund Process!
- The justices discussed what would happen if the Supreme Court upholds the lower court rulings that struck down the tariffs.
- Barrett said if the tariffs are invalidated, the reimbursement process “could be a mess.”
- The Trump administration has collected nearly $90 billion in revenue in fiscal 2025 from the tariffs challenged in this case.
- Justice Samuel Alito also discussed the complicated process should the court invalidate the tariffs, only for the Trump administration to impose new tariffs using different legal authorities, which would then likely be challenged and work through the court system again.
- Alito posited that it might make more sense for the court to address whether section 338 of the Tariff Act may justify Trump’s tariffs so the court could “get it over with rather than having this continue for who knows how long while it goes … through the procedures in the lower courts.”
- It is not clear when the court will release its ruling, but the Trump administration has asked for the decision to be expedited.

- Yesterday, the SCOTUS heard arguments that Trump tariffs are unconstitutional.
- We have heard the legal issues in the first segment, now let’s discuss the economic issues with the tariffs.
- The tariffs have been an effective tool for the Administration to promote onshoring manufacturing.
- The tariffs have not yet sown to be inflationary.
- If the SCOTUS rules against Trump, what would paying back $90 billion dollars to foreign governments do to this country?
- If John Roberts calls tariffs a tax, why didn’t say so for Obamacare? Why was it OK for Obama to tax and not Trump?
- Some analysis of the election results blames the high cost of living for Dem wins in New Jersey, New York City and VA. What is the truth about the current state of the U.S. economy?
- How long will it take foreign investment and Trump foreign trade deals to show up in domestic economic numbers?

Segment Topic:
The U.S.-China Trade War Isn't Cooling; It's Just Getting Started. A preview of the Trump-Xi meeting on Thursday.
By the time Trump meets with Xi on Thursday, he might face a deal where the United States needs much less from China.
The latest escalation between Trump and Xi arose after Beijing announced plans to restrict exports of rare-earth minerals, critical materials needed to power a wide range of electronics. (CNN)
Is it all about rare-earth minerals? If so, Trump has been working around Beijing to secure these much-needed substances (Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand).
The U.S. has been working to expand its supply chains to reduce reliance on China, as Beijing has limited exports of key components in technology manufacturing. (Fox News)
China processes around 90% of the world's rare earths, which go into everything from solar panels to smartphones, making supply of them to US manufacturers a key bargaining chip.
The last time Beijing tightened export controls - after Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods early this year - there was an outcry from many US firms reliant on the materials.
If rare-earth minerals are no longer critical to a U.S.-China trade agreement, is Xi in a weaker negotiating position?
But that’s hardly anything new — China, which controls the majority of the world’s supply of rare earth minerals, began putting measures in place to limit foreign access to them over 30 years ago. And as demand for China’s rare earths has increased since, so have the safeguards for allowing other countries to purchase them.
After meeting with Chinese trade negotiators in Malaysia over the weekend, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he anticipates the high-stakes meeting between Trump and Xi could result in “some kind of deferral” on rare-earth export controls.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who has led Chinese trade talks with Bessent, said the Treasury secretary told Chinese negotiators at their last meeting, “This is the last time we want to be talking about rare earths.” (CNN)
He’s right. “Some kind of deferral” simply means Xi is still going to be able to use access to rare earths as leverage over the United States any time he is perturbed with actions Trump takes.
And when Beijing inevitably announces new ramped-up export controls of rare earths, Trump will likely respond by threatening higher tariffs.
Scott Bessent told the BBC's US news partner CBS that this included a "final deal" on TikTok's US operations and a deferral on China's tightened rare earth minerals controls.
He also said he did not anticipate the 100% tariff on Chinese goods threatened by President Donald Trump coming into force, while China will resume substantial soybean purchases from the US. (BBC)
China is no longer purchasing soybeans from U.S. farmers. Which country have they been importing soybeans from?
Vietnam announced "unprecedented" trade access between the countries. Vietnam also agreed to buying Boeing jets worth more than $8 billion dollars from the US and American agricultural goods.
Trump began his whirlwind weeklong Asia trip on Sunday with a flurry of trade and mineral agreements with his Malaysian and Cambodian counterparts, as well as frameworks for trade pacts with Thailand and Vietnam.
The four countries, part of an 11-member regional bloc called the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), pledged to remove trade barriers, provide preferential market access to U.S. goods, and increase purchases of American agricultural, energy products, and aircraft.
They also agreed to cooperate with Washington on export controls, sanctions and access to critical minerals — commitments that appear to strengthen Trump’s standing in a region where Beijing has a growing clout.
How would you assess Trump’s accomplishments on trade (on his Asia trip) so far and will new trade deals have any impact on a deal with China?
What do American countries need from these agreements and how fast do they need them to kick-in?

Segment Topic: (REBROADCAST OF 10/21/25)
The shutdown: It is not about revenues; it is about spending!
- Americans want low costs and patient-centered care. Obamacare has failed Americans. Excessive regulations and mandates ignore the needs of patients and drive up costs. To hide how unaffordable these bad policies are, the government gives Obamacare subsidies directly to insurance companies.
- The Biden COVID Credits made the problem worse. The result? Insurance companies profit at the expense of the American taxpayer.
- Why are ending these subsidies worth fighting for?
- The subsidies were supposed to be temporary. The Dem-Com’s agreed that they were a temporary COVID subsidy and would sunset. Why are they going back on their prior commitment?
- Is it possible to finally end Obamacare and replace it with something which does not fleece U.S. taxpayers?

Segment Topic: (REBROADCAST OF 10/24/25)
- Remembering the Iraq War and those brave men and women who fought there:
- The Last 600 Meters, a 90-minute documentary looking back at the Iraq War, will be broadcast nationally on PBS on the eve of Veterans Day, November 10, 2025 at 10PM (check local listings).
- There is a hunger for films that celebrate the men and women fighting for our freedom that portray them objectively, without political commentary.
- The Last 600 Meters focuses on two of the deadliest battles of the Iraq War, in Najaf in the South against the Shiite Mahdi militia, and in Fallujah in the West against Sunni insurgents.
- The film tells the story of these battles, not through narration, but through the words and deeds of those who fought there. It tells the ground truth. This compelling documentary of urban warfare is newly relevant, in light of the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
- If you could list the three most positive aspects of our war in Iraq, what would they be?

Segment Topic:
Will Trump’s Asia trips have a positive impact on the U.S. economy? If so, what kind of impact will these trade deals have and when will we notice the impact?
These agreements with Asian countries are agreements to cooperate on access to each other’s markets – rather than a trade agreement with hard numbers on trade; correct?
Have the tariffs imposed by President Trump prior to his Asian trip had an impact on trade negotiations so far?
The news of a basic framework on a U.S.- China deal was met with approval by the markets.
If there is a final deal with Beijing, will the markets respond appropriately or has the bump already been felt?
How do you assess the U.S. – Japan trade deal?
The Fed meets tomorrow to announce its decision on interest rates. What do you expect? Will the shutdown and the absence of economic data available to the Fed have any impact on tomorrow’s meeting or announcement?
The Labor Department, however, on Friday released one key report ahead of its meeting: The Consumer Price Index. That report showed that the inflation rate rose at a pace of 3% last month, cooler than expected, as the impact of President Trump's wide-ranging tariffs have so far been more muted than economists have forecast. (CBS NEWS)
Tariffs imposed by the president have not yet shown to be inflationary. Will they at some point?

Show Open:
Panelist:
- KJP's Book Tour Implodes – From White House Spin to Public Spectacle!
- Former Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's memoir Independent was meant to be a trailblazing tell-all from the first Black and LGBTQ+ person in the role, a story of resilience against party betrayal and media hazing. Instead, it's become a viral cautionary tale of denial, deflection, and disaster.
- Forget about Kamala’s word salads, KJP can word salad with the best of them!
- KJP’s Book Is a 172-Page Denial of Reality: Far from a White House tell-all, Independent is a repetitive excuse factory for Biden’s cognitive decline—claiming the party “abandoned” a scandal-free president while “hazing” Kamala Harris, offering zero insight into Oval Office mechanics and instead blaming America for failing to “repay what it owes” Black women who “built the country.”
- Sanctimonious Media Takes That Flip-Flop on Every Page: Jean-Pierre denies the press is liberal (citing a 2022 survey showing half are “independents”), blames distrust on “right-wing disinformation” and “belligerent” reporters, then immediately contradicts herself by raging at a “Trump double standard” where journalists supposedly “softball conservatives” while grilling Democrats—proving the book’s scatterbrained logic matches her briefing-room word salads.
- Victimhood on Steroids, Evidence Not Included: KJP paints every criticism as “Machiavellian” bullying of a Black queer woman, accuses Fox’s Peter Doocy of racism for questioning Harris’s code-switching (which she equates to “sipping a pint of beer”), and fingers Anita Dunn as a backstabbing mentor, yet admits 50 pages later she “wasn’t at the top of my game” and needed months to “find my sea legs,” all without a shred of proof for her conspiracy claims.
- Former Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's memoir Independent was meant to be a trailblazing tell-all from the first Black and LGBTQ+ person in the role, a story of resilience against party betrayal and media hazing. Instead, it's become a viral cautionary tale of denial, deflection, and disaster.
Panelist:
Curtis Houck, Managing Editor, NewsBusters wrote a blistering NewsBusters review calling the book "painfully stupid and vapid."
“Jean-Pierre claimed to be an independent, but ruled out ever voting third-party or for a Republican. She claimed there are good people on the right, but then argued they shouldn’t be seen as friends because they don’t “believe you or loved ones have a right to exist.” She extolled Biden’s preparation, but blamed his debate performance on everything from a cold to jet lag to Hunter Biden’s conviction.
Simply put, Jean-Pierre’s book should have never made it past the first line of edits.” - Curtis Houck, Managing Editor, NewsBusters
-
- Trump Asia meetings have wrapped and he now heads back to Washington – but the MSM is not going to acknowledge Trump’s accomplishments.
- CBS News Purge – who and what is going to replace what has landed on the trash heap.
- Wednesday was a grim day at CBS News as reportedly around 100 people were axed as part of long-rumored layoffs numbering 2,000 people across its parent company Paramount Skydance. The ranks of those let go were vast and deep with both remaining CBS Saturday Morning hosts shown the door, correspondents with decades of experience (and all women), its Race and Culture unit, and even two entire shows.
- Larry (stop the hammering) O’Donnell targets Scott Jennings
- Are we seeing a new Jake Tapper?

Segment Topic:
- Federal Judge Orders Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino to Wear a body Camera and report to Her Every Day. Since when does a Border Patrol Chief report to some Federal Judge?
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released footage that it says shows Border Patrol agents were justified in using tear gas to disperse a chaotic crowd — which at times shouted profanities and threw rocks and other items at officers — during a high-profile immigration raid in Chicago last week.
- During the Oct. 23 enforcement operation, Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino deployed a tear gas cannister — an action that prompted local media outlets and protest groups to file a lawsuit accusing him of violating a temporary restraining order. That order bars federal agents from using chemical agents on protesters without agents facing an imminent threat or giving two prior warnings.
- Federal authorities on Wednesday arrested an anti-ICE protester who allegedly damaged a vehicle belonging to immigration agents during a pot farm raid over the summer near Los Angeles.
- In addition, nine other suspects were arrested for allegedly attacking law enforcement officers over the summer during immigration enforcement operations in and around Los Angeles. Are warrants issued for this type of raid? If so, who issues the warrant (Feds of LA County)
- Jailed in America for free speech. What about those whose lives are ruined for free speech?
- Virtual internment?
- Will AI unleash the free speech police?
- AI and the Constitution: Does AI have constitutional protections?
- Google hit with lawsuit over AI 'hallucinations' linking conservative activist to child abuse claims (Robby Starbuck).
- The family of teenager who died by suicide alleges OpenAI's ChatGPT is to blame.

Segment Topic:
(REBROADCAST OF 10/24/25)
- Remembering the Iraq War and those brave men and women who fought there:
- The Last 600 Meters, a 90-minute documentary looking back at the Iraq War, will be broadcast nationally on PBS on the eve of Veterans Day, November 10, 2025 at 10PM (check local listings).
- There is a hunger for films that celebrate the men and women fighting for our freedom that portray them objectively, without political commentary.
- The Last 600 Meters focuses on two of the deadliest battles of the Iraq War, in Najaf in the South against the Shiite Mahdi militia, and in Fallujah in the West against Sunni insurgents.
- The film tells the story of these battles, not through narration, but through the words and deeds of those who fought there. It tells the ground truth. This compelling documentary of urban warfare is newly relevant, in light of the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
- If you could list the three most positive aspects of our war in Iraq, what would they be?
Panelist:
Michael Pack, director and producer of The Last 600 Meters.

- Hamas is back!

- What will Arab countries do now?
Panelist:
DIAL Producers / Callers
9:20
Segment Topic:
- Jews are scared in America!
- Statistics show America is heading toward NAZI Germany (circa 1938).
- Fewer than one in five Jewish Americans now feels safe in America.
- 42% of Jewish Americans surveyed do not wear anything which identifies them as Jewish while out in public.
- That is up 16% since 2023.
- The “No Kings” crowd who calls those in support of Israel and the Jewish people NAZI’s and fascists are the ones of whom American Jews are afraid of. They are the “from the river to the sea” crowd!
- Jewish Man was arrested for wearing Star of David in London because it ‘antagonized pro-Palestine Protesters!
- London under radical Muslim Sadiq Khan (Mayor of the City of London) has a two-tier justice system. One for anti-Semites, one for everyone else.
- In August, a lawyer, acting as an independent legal observer at a pro-Palestine protest outside the Israeli embassy in central London, was arrested, handcuffed, and detained for almost 10 hours.
- His ‘crime’? Openly wearing a Star of David.
- “A Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested after British police claimed the Jewish necklace had “antagonized” pro-Palestine protesters.”
- “The lawyer stated that officers handcuffed him with his hands behind his back, placed him in a police vehicle, and held him for questioning. He said he was detained for nearly 10 hours!”
- “The Metropolitan Police denied that the arrest was related to the necklace, asserting that the man was detained for “repeatedly breaching” officers’ instructions to keep opposing protest groups separated, according to The Telegraph. But the lawyer documented around 30 incidents of criminal behavior by protesters, none of which resulted in an arrest. Instead, it was just the Jewish man who ended up under arrest.” (The Gateway Pundit)
- Why is story from London relevant? Because in three-months, Zohran Mamdani is going to do the same thing in NYC. Jews who show their Jewishness will be arrested by compliant NYPD officers if pro-Palestinian protesters are deemed insulted by Jews who refuse to stay silent on the streets of New York.
- For anyone paying attention to the world, however, you’re no doubt aware of just how perilous — and powerless — life is for Christians outside of America’s protection.
- Father Custodio Ballester, a Catholic priest in Spain, is facing the possibility of very real prison time on charges of “Islamaphobia,” according to a harrowing report from The Christian Broadcasting Network.
- Ballester is facing up to three years in prison for this charge, as well as fines.
- The big crime? Answering a question about the possibility of an interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
- “This renewed revival of Christian-Muslim dialogue, paralyzed by the alleged ‘imprudence’ of the beloved Benedict XVI, is far from a reality,” Ballester wrote in a letter, responding to the question. “Islam does not allow for dialogue. You either believe or you are an infidel who must be subdued one way or another.”
- The Christian Broadcasting Network added: “In a 2017 YouTube video, Ballester expanded on his 2016 remarks, warning that Islam not only poses a threat in Europe, but also that in many Muslim-majority countries, Christians face persecution.”

Segment Topic:
- One day after the New York City mayoral debate, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani openly campaigned at a mosque alongside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
- Instead of distancing himself, Mamdani proudly highlighted the event. He even posted about it publicly, as if daring New Yorkers to overlook the danger.
- For years, warnings about Mamdani’s ties to Wahhaj have circulated. Wahhaj was named by federal prosecutors as a co-conspirator in the terror plot that killed six and injured more than a thousand.
- One prevalent protest sign from the “No Kings” crowd was: “Christian Nationalists are America’s Taliban.”

Segment Topic:
Who is running China?
- In “The China Matrix,” New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Smith reveals the shocking truth about how U.S. political and corporate elites conspired with Beijing to reshape the global order—at America’s expense. From Henry Kissinger’s secret dealings with Mao to the tech oligarchs cozying up to Xi Jinping, Smith exposes the web of corruption and betrayal that spans decades. He reveals how globalism, Silicon Valley, and the media worked together to whitewash China’s crimes while dismantling American industry and national security.
- The China Matrix: The Epic Story of How Donald Trump Shattered a Deadly Pact, is also a story of resistance. Author, Lee Smith chronicles how Trump’s presidency shattered the illusion of a benign China, forcing the establishment to confront the consequences of their own greed. From trade wars to TikTok, fentanyl to finance, The China Matrix details the battle between America First and the entrenched pro-China elite—and what’s at stake in the next chapter of this global showdown.
- With stunning new revelations about Elon Musk’s growing influence, Joe Biden’s China entanglements, and the role of U.S. universities in Beijing’s espionage network, The China Matrix is a gripping exposé of the most dangerous alliance in modern history—and the fight to break free before time runs out.
- Lee Smith will be a panelist on YNTA soon!

- A significant military buildup off the coast of Venezuela:
- B52’s flying over Venezuela!
- The US military has been steadily massing a large number of troops, naval and air assets in the Caribbean over the last two months, conducting training missions off the coast of Venezuela, reopening a military base in Puerto Rico that had been shuttered for decades, and attacking speedboats carrying suspected drug traffickers from Venezuela and Colombia.
- As of Tuesday, a significant percentage of all deployed US naval assets globally are also now located in US Southern Command, the US military’s command responsible for operations in the region, according to a fleet tracker published by the United States Naval Institute’s news portal.
- That includes the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group and the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, amounting to more than 4,500 Marines and sailors, three guided-missile destroyers, an attack submarine, a special operations ship, a guided missile cruiser and P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft.
- At the same time, the US has deployed 10 F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico, which has become a hub for the US military as part of the increased focus on the Caribbean. The US has also deployed at least three MQ-9 reaper drones to the island, according to images captured by Reuters in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. (CNN)
- Naval Station Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, a US military installation that had been shuttered since 2004, is now back up and running, according to satellite imagery and photos taken at the base.
- At least one AC-130J Ghostrider, a heavily armed plane capable of providing air support to ground troops, was photographed equipped with Hellfire missiles at José Aponte de la Torre Airport in Puerto Rico, which is used by the installation.
- A separate image, captured by a local photographer, appears to show another Ghostrider at the same facility.
- That airport has been a staging ground for US military operations in the region over the last several months.
- What is the Administration’s end game here? Regime change?
- “The military presence in the Caribbean is too big for just hitting a few speedboats, though it is not big enough for an invasion of Venezuela,” Elliott Abrams, who served as the US envoy to Venezuela during Trump’s first term, told CNN on Thursday. “What’s in the middle, I think, is a pressure campaign, meant to rattle Venezuela.” (CNN)

Show Open:
- Over the weekend the networks went gaga over the No Kings protests -- giving them 18X more coverage than the conservative March for Life gatherings!
- Massive Disparity in Coverage for Liberal vs. Conservative Protests: Major networks (CBS, NBC, PBS, and NPR) dedicated 17 minutes and 51 seconds to the "No Kings" protests against President Trump. In stark contrast, these same networks provided only 50 seconds of total coverage to the annual March for Life, a key conservative demonstration against abortion. This represents the liberal-leaning protest receiving 18 times the airtime.
- Networks Refused to Use Ideological Labels for Leftist Protesters: Despite signs calling for impeachment and the movement's theme of "democracy versus dictatorship," the networks failed to apply ideological descriptors like "liberal," "leftist," or "progressive" to the "No Kings" demonstrators. Simultaneously, the networks provided "gushing propaganda coverage" and touted organizers' claims about the protest's scale. (MRC)
Soft Coverage for Anti-Trump Protests vs. "Throwaway" Coverage for Pro-Life March: Network coverage of the "No Kings" event included long segments, live reports from multiple cities, and "softball" interviews with figures from leftist groups like Public Citizen. Conversely, the March for Life coverage was minimal, often just a "throwaway" mention, suggesting a significant difference in how the media framed and prioritized the two events.

Segment Topic:
- Jorge Bonilla reports that CBS's Weijia Jiang whines about the White House ballroom and echoes Dem shutdown talking points.
- Steve Malzberg Frederika Whitfield's guest for the segment was Evelyn Farkas, current Executive Director of The McCain Institute, and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia and Ukraine under Barack Obama, and that obviously isn't a helpful resume item.
- Jorge Bonilla reports that Colombia's President Petro wraps his Univision interview by saying that if Trump won't change, the solution is to "get rid of Trump"
Kamala was the most-qualified to run for president?

Harry Enten (CNN Pollster) says that Trump is not being hurt in his 2nd term by government shutdown.
It is clear by the numbers, that those who did not vote for him; those who would never support him blame him.
Trump is continuing to govern and provide visuals that the Executive Branch is functioning and not being held hostage by the Dem-Com’s.

Segment Topic:
- Americans want low costs and patient-centered care. Obamacare has failed Americans. Excessive regulations and mandates ignore the needs of patients and drive up costs. To hide how unaffordable these bad policies are, the government gives Obamacare subsidies directly to insurance companies.
- The Biden COVID Credits made the problem worse. The result? Insurance companies profit at the expense of the American taxpayer.
- Why are ending these subsidies worth fighting for?
- The subsidies were supposed to be temporary. The Dem-Com’s agreed that they were a temporary COVID subsidy and would sunset. Why are they going back on their prior commitment?
- Is it possible to finally end Obamacare and replace it with something which does not fleece U.S. taxpayers?

- Major Amazon Web Services Outage Disrupts the Globe, Exposes Fragile Dependence on Cloud Giants:
- A worldwide disruption of Amazon Web Services on Monday could carry a staggering financial toll reaching into the hundreds of billions of dollars, according to experts cited by CNN. (Newsmax)
- Amazon Web Services’ largest and most critical region—US-East-1 in Northern Virginia—experienced a significant, hours-long outage, disrupting major consumer platforms and enterprise-level services across the United States and abroad.
- The incident triggered widespread downtime for apps such as Snapchat, Fortnite, Venmo, Ring, Canva, and others, while also affecting portions of Amazon’s own services, according to multiple reports from The Verge, AP News, and AWS’ own status dashboard.
- While AWS has since mitigated the root issue, the event highlights a growing national vulnerability: a single point of failure inside the world’s most-used cloud platform can cause cascading disruption across communications, finance, commerce, and public digital services.
- Early reporting and AWS status notes indicate the failure involved elevated error rates and latency across multiple core services in US-East-1, including possible DNS-level issues and DynamoDB endpoint failures. Because US-East-1 is the most heavily-relied-upon region in the AWS global network, outages there tend to ripple outward—causing massive downstream effects across apps, APIs, and authentication systems, even for companies not hosted in that region.
- How did this outage differ from an attack?
- Did this outage yesterday indicate a failure to focus on system redundancy, such as parallel fiber connectivity and backup satellite transponder frequencies?
- What lessons were learned by AWS from this outage?

Segment Topic:
- Perhaps USAID was just the tip of the iceberg!
- The Homelessness Industrial Complex: Exposing the Darkness That Profits from Despair.
- In Washington, D.C., a bombshell investigation has just dropped: the Infiltrated report showing how radical organizations have embedded themselves within homelessness advocacy groups - sharing infrastructure, donors, ideology and tactics.
- Released amid news that homelessness has climbed to its highest level in U.S. history, even after a tripling of public spending, it reveals that the Homelessness Industrial Complex (HIC) - a bloated network of nonprofits and activists - have hijacked our nation's homeless system.
- They've built an empire of corruption wrapped in "evidence-based" slogans that shield political agendas and bloated paychecks at the expense of the people it was purportedly helping. The Infiltrated report confirms that the HIC postures itself as defenders of compassion but are, in truth, the greatest exploiters of America's homeless. It exposes how it seized power, who is bankrolling it, and its dependence on suffering to further entrench power.

Colonel Robert Wilburn Hill (Bob) February 18, 1928 - October 18, 2021
While serving in combat as a Rifle Platoon Leader in Korea in 1950-1951, he was twice wounded in action (both head-wounds), receiving two Purple Heart medals in addition to a Silver Star medal and a Bronze Star (with "V" device) for valor.
With Joyce by his side, Bob survived three wars and enjoyed a very productive, rewarding career in the U.S. Army. Their assignments in over thirty years of service were at various military posts around the world, with fourteen years abroad.
Bob proudly served as an Airborne Rifle Company Commander in the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division; as a staff officer in the Foreign Liaison Directorate of Army Intelligence in the Pentagon; as the Aide-de-Camp to the Army Chief of Staff; as Commander of 1st Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment in Korea; as a member of the NATO Military Committee in Brussels, Belgium; as Deputy Brigade Commander of the Berlin Brigade in West Germany; as Commander of the Special Operations Group (SOG) in Vietnam; and as Executive Officer to the Commander in Chief, U.S. Army, Europe. His final assignment brought Bob and Joyce back home to Texas concluding a remarkable Army career, serving as Chief of Staff of the III U.S. Army Corps and Ft. Hood for two years.
Robert W. Hill always cherished his time in service to our nation. He always carried this quote from General Matthew Ridgeway in his wallet: "I cannot conceive that God has granted any man a richer, fuller, more satisfying life than mine, for it was spent in service with, and for, that finest product of our civilization THE AMERICAN SOLDIER." As a soldier, Bob embraced a key principle of military discipline (selfless sacrifice) that was so evident in the life of Jesus, our duty is not to be served, but to serve.
