Network Evening News Spends Only 8 Percent of DHS Shutdown Coverage Blaming Democrats! (Newsbusters/Curtis Houck)
The American people have to show up five-hours at the airport before their flights and the maggots in Marxist State Media don’t give a damn!
A Media Research Center study found that, since the start of the DHS shutdown, only eight percent – or 125 seconds – of the 26 minutes and 22 seconds on the shutdown across the flagship evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC have brought up the fact that the long lines at airports are because of the left’s obstructionism.
- Networks bury Democratic blame in DHS shutdown coverage ABC, CBS, and NBC gave just 8% of airtime (125 seconds total) to blaming Democrats for the February 14 shutdown—despite their demands blocking ICE/immigration funding—spreading blame vaguely across "Congress" on only 9 of 30 days.
- Focus on traveler/worker hardships shields Democrats from accountability Over 90% of coverage highlighted airport chaos, unpaid TSA staff, food-bank lines, and delays, while rarely linking these to Democratic obstruction on enforcement policies—framing it as neutral "congressional inaction."
- Clear double standard vs. past Republican shutdowns Networks (NBC 3%, ABC 9%, CBS 10% Democrat blame) soft-pedal partisan responsibility here, but would hammer Republicans nightly if they blocked funding amid national security or travel risks—exposing ongoing media bias by omission.
  - If any of our “LEADERS” from Capitol Hill arrives at an airport, they are ushered passed us poor souls waiting in line!

Segment Topic: (all topics courtesy of MRC)

Oscars 2026: Just Another Left-Wing Awards Show HATE Fest!
Was any normal person watching other than a panelist from the “The View?”
Conan proved that he is just another low-life hosting an award show that no one cares about. How did the 98^th Academy Awards open?
After taking a dig at half of America, he then falsely implied Trump was a pedophile!
No awards show this year would be complete without an idiot actor yelling "Free Palestine." That moment was provided by actor Javier Bardem, who lives in Israel-hating Spain.
- On the red-carpet before the show, One Piece actor Charithra Chandran demanded a "ceasefire in Palestine," unaware that a ceasefire happened six months ago.
Americans will have to wait until the Emmy Awards in September for another round of anti-American lecturing from Hollywood celebrities they barely know or care about anymore.

Monologue:

“Referral”

Segment Topic:

- Mamdani is spending billions in taxpayer’s money on a hotel for the homeless in NYC.

- NYC burning $81K per homeless person — with nothing to show for it!
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants to spend more: City Hall projects it to hit nearly $97,000 in the coming year.
- Overall, this spending has skyrocketed from $102 million in 2018 to $368 million last year, up 320% even as the street-homeless population grew just 26%.
- In a system stripped of accountability — at the individual, nonprofit, and government levels — the news below that a San Francisco homeless services executive has been charged with multiple felonies is not a surprise. It is symptomatic of a structure that stopped demanding results.
- Since the nation adopted Housing First as a universal mandate in 2013, homelessness has climbed nearly 35%, despite the promise it would end within a decade. For years, HUD measured essentially one outcome: placement into permanent housing for six months — housing that required nothing of the individual placed there. No sobriety. No engagement in treatment. No work. No expectation of forward movement.
  - As long as that minimal benchmark was met, nonprofits and local governments were effectively assured a steady stream of continued funding, regardless of whether homelessness declined or conditions improved.
  - Responsibility cannot thrive where it is not required, especially when its absence cascades from the top down. In San Francisco alone last year, 12 homeless-serving nonprofits were under investigation for fraud, even as chronic homelessness rose 11% between 2022 and 2024.

The good news: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is now implementing a long-overdue course correction — one that reestablishes accountability at every level of the system: for individuals, for service providers, and for the government agencies through which HUD distributes the majority of its homelessness funding. HUD is establishing clear expectations, demanding measurable results, and enforcing consequences when programs fail the very people they were meant to serve.

11:05

Segment Topic:

- Remember Vince Foster, one of the first “friends of Bill” to meet a mysterious end?
- The death of White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster was ruled a suicide.
- Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was the lead investigator at the time.
- A key eyewitness account that grossly contradicts the official narrative remains largely ignored by the American media.
- Attorney John C. Clarke, who represented witness Patrick Knowlton, is available to discuss evidence suggesting the investigation into Foster’s death was shaped by pressure on a witness whose testimony undermined the government’s conclusion.
- Brett Kavanaugh helped write the Kenneth Starr report declaring Vince Foster’s death a suicide—despite contradictory witness evidence—and now Kavanaugh sits on the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Witness Patrick Knowlton was at Fort Marcy Park at 4:30 p.m. but saw no sign of Foster’s car, contradicting the official timeline.
- FBI agents repeatedly tried to pressure Knowlton to say the car he saw could have been Foster’s. He refused.
- Documents obtained by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard show FBI reports included statements Knowlton says he never made.
- After being subpoenaed, Knowlton reported coordinated surveillance and intimidation in Washington, D.C. aimed at discrediting him.
- On July 20, 1993, Knowlton stopped at Fort Marcy Park in Virginia at approximately 4:30 p.m. while driving home from a construction job in suburban Maryland. When he entered the parking lot, he observed only two vehicles: his own and an older brown car with Arkansas license plates. He also encountered a man sitting in another vehicle who lowered his window and stared at him in a way Knowlton found unsettling. Knowlton briefly walked into the park and then returned to his car, leaving shortly afterward.
- How did Brett Kavanaugh help shape the conclusions of the Kenneth Starr report on Vince Foster’s death, and what evidence suggests key facts were ignored?
- Why did eyewitness Patrick Knowlton not see Foster’s car at Fort Marcy Park at 4:30 p.m., despite the official claim that Foster died there earlier that afternoon?
- What happened during the FBI interview when agents repeatedly pressured Knowlton to say the vehicle he saw might have been Foster’s?
- How did documents later obtained by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reveal discrepancies between Knowlton’s actual statements and the FBI’s written reports?
- Why was Knowlton not called by investigators earlier if his timeline directly challenged the official narrative?
- What happened to Knowlton after he was subpoenaed to testify before the Whitewater grand jury led by Starr?
- What evidence suggests the Foster death scene may have been staged or misrepresented?

What does the Foster case reveal about the reliability of federal investigations when the same agencies appear across multiple inquiries?

Panelist:

John H. Clarke is a seasoned attorney and member of the District of Columbia Superior Court Fiduciary Panel, specializing in complex litigation, federal oversight, and civil rights matters. Over his career, Clarke has pursued numerous high-profile Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits, including cases related to unrepatriated American POWs from the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Notably, in Hall et al. v. CIA, a 21-year litigation effort, he challenged the agency’s failure to search operational records for POWs held in Laos, resulting in a landmark appellate ruling in April 2025.

Clarke has also litigated significant national security and transparency matters, including FOIA actions concerning the Benghazi attack, TWA Flight 800, and Department of Defense record disclosures. He has pursued civil rights claims on behalf of plaintiffs in cases against FBI and federal agents and has successfully compelled disclosure in matters historically shielded by classification.

In addition to FOIA and civil rights litigation, Clarke has investigated high-profile political and governmental controversies, including the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster. His work consistently emphasizes accountability, government transparency, and the public’s right to know. Clarke combines legal expertise with rigorous investigative analysis, making him a trusted advocate in cases at the intersection of law, history, and public interest.

Those presidents who govern by the polls; the nation dies by the polls!

Does President Trump need to do an address to the nation on his policies; his plans for the nation (the need to go to war, the pains of higher prices at the pump, the Save Act)?

  - I thought we had a “CIVIL RIGHTS ACT” which is supposed to protect everyone from racial discrimination?
- Has the SCOTUS weighed-in on this kind of blatant (taxpayer funded) discrimination?

Long lines at TSA check-in, hundreds of TSA agents have resigned, what are Republicans in the House and Senate doing to force the Democrat Communists to the table?
If Republicans do not enforce their majority and continue to permit that Dem-Coms to act like there are in the majority, do they risk alienating MAGA and independent voters in November?
Why is Senate Majority Leader John Thune not using overwhelming support of the “SAVE ACT” to get this legislation passed and to the President’s desk?
Yesterday, I heard Senator Tuberville say on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show that paying more for gas now (for the short-term) is worth it, if it ensures long-term stability in the Middle East and here at home. I agree with him, however; are voters buying it?
- Tuberville mentioned that during Obama’s term, oil in his home state was constantly over $100 a barrel. However; we never heard the outcry back then.
  - I was surprised that President Trump agreed to release oil from our strategic reserves, because the Dem-Com’s refuse to go-along with refilling them.
Kirsten, what can you tell us about the election to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene’s House seat? What did Tuesday night’s results tell us?

Segment Topic:

The war in Iran has stunned observers around the world—but few can explain the deeper strategic implications like former intelligence operative Robert Eringer, author of Spymaster of Monte Carlo.
In his latest Substack commentary, Eringer breaks down how the U.S. military’s aerial campaign against Iran has showcased unmatched precision, training, and expertise, leaving Russia’s corrupt, poorly equipped forces looking amateurish by comparison.
With morale collapsing under President Vladimir Putin’s pressure, Eringer argues that Russia is simply unequipped to project real power the way the U.S. does, and that the lessons of Tehran will reverberate across the globe.
S. airpower just exposed Russia’s military weakness — proving Moscow lacks the training, equipment, and discipline to match American precision warfare.
Didn’t U.S. airpower also expose China’s weakness as well? After all, they sold radar and defense equipment to Venezuela and Iran?
Isn’t the real story being just Iran’s war — it’s the global power shift now unfolding among NATO, Russia, and China. In the end, does Trump and his ultimate chess match declare: CHECKMATE?

A small but noisy anti-Muslim protest on Saturday, led by Jake Lang, a white supremacist, outside the mayor’s residence at Gracie Mansion suddenly turned chaotic when two young Muslim men threw what turned out to be improvised explosive devices near the crowd.
- Thankfully, cops reacted heroically and quickly, and grabbed the two men, both teens from Pennsylvania who later said they were inspired by ISIS and wanted to do something bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.
- Fortunately, neither device exploded. (NY Post/Michael Goodwin)
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani showed his true colors over the weekend when he responded to the attempted ISIS-inspired bombing of an anti-Muslim protestby first condemning “white supremacy” before getting around to saying “violence at a protest is never acceptable.”
- That’s one way of putting it.
- It took NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch to issue her own statement for the full gravity of the attack to be officially acknowledged. (NY Post/Miranda Devine)

Trump’s “Shield of the Americas,” Iran War Strategy, and the Cuba Question | Your News Talk America – March 10, 2026

March 10, 2026

On this Truthful Tuesday edition of Your News Talk America with Jake Smith, Jake examines major national security developments—from the Western Hemisphere to the Middle East—and what they mean for the United States.

The program opens with Christina Balling, Senior Vice President at the Institute of World Politics, who analyzes the “Shield of the Americas” summit held at President Trump’s Doral golf club. The discussion explores growing threats from drug cartels, narco-terror networks, and instability in Latin America, as well as the role of the United States in confronting these dangers.

Jake also examines the evolving situation in Cuba and Venezuela, including questions about the future of communist regimes in the region and whether new U.S. policies could lead to political change.

Later in the show, Dr. Asaf Romirowsky, Executive Director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, joins the program to discuss the ongoing conflict with Iran, U.S. military strategy, and the long-term implications for Israel and the broader Middle East.

The program also features Tiana Lowe Doescher, reporter for the Washington Examiner, who provides political analysis from Washington on the domestic implications of U.S. foreign policy and current developments on Capitol Hill.

Shield of the America’s Summit:
- Trump met with Latin American leaders on March 7^th in Doral, Florida, turning his attention to threats in the Western Hemisphere!
- Trump was joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who was recently named Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas – Western Hemisphere, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer were also in attendance.
- Trump focused a portion of his remarks on the cartels running Mexico, saying that the "epicenter of cartel violence" stems from the country. He added that cartels fuel and orchestrate "a deep bloodshed and chaos" in the hemisphere, before signing a proclamation that the president said will establish an Americas counter-cartel coalition.
- "The only way to defeat these enemies is by unleashing the power of our militaries," Mr. Trump said. "We have to use our military. You have to use your military." (CBS News)
- Why the cartels and why now? Is this part of Trump’s chess game with China and the Globalists?
- Where and when did these cartels form in Latin America?
- How much blame on the existence and craving for drugs does the U.S. and Americans share for creating and sustaining the cartels?
- How much of a terrorist threat to the American homeland do the cartels have at the moment?
- Do the cartels really control Mexico?
- Do America’s foreign enemies have a stake in the strength of the cartels? If so, which foreign enemies?

Panelist:

Segment Topic:

What is the current situation in Cuba?
- How much control does the Castro family still maintain in Cuba?
As President Donald Trump suggests that Cuba could soon fall, his administration has begun exploring whether federal prosecutors could charge members of the regime or the Communist Party with crimes, according to a person familiar with the matter.
- The administration is working to develop possible criminal cases tied to issues like drugs or violence, according to the person. The multiagency effort is being led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.
- Federal charges against Cuban officials could ratchet up public pressure on the country and be used as the basis to levy additional economic sanctions imposed by the State Department, which is being consulted as part of the effort, according to the person familiar with the matter. The U.S. already has a commercial, economic and financial embargo on Cuba that dates back decades.
  - If you were to poll Americans, a majority of them would say they would rather America’s enemies, such as James Comey and George Soros be prosecuted for their crimes!
- How much difference did Obama’s cozying up to Cuba have for the Cuban people? What good did Obama’s capitulation to Castro government for America and our national security?
- Can you provide an update on political and economic conditions in Venezuela?

- The Israeli’s are being criticized for attacking an oil depot outside Tehran. Don’t the Israeli’s risk losing their support from the Iranian people?

- Is what’s left of the regime going to attempt to use their delay tactics in an effort the affect the U.S. midterm elections and hope their apologists in the Democrat Communist Party take control of the U.S.?

- Air travelers are waiting 3-hours or longer to go through security.
- Why are the Dem-Coms putting our nation and Americans at risk in our post-9-11 world?

- If terrorists attack us (Austin, NYC) the Dem-Coms support defunding Department of Homeland Security!
- Last night, Commie-Mamdani celebrated Ramadan at Gracie mansion with his special guest: the enemy of Israel: Mahmoud Khalil.
