- If we are spending this much time on Epstein, Trump MUST have something to hide!
- NewsBusters study detailing 821 minutes of network coverage on Epstein.
- Under orders from the Dem-Com’s, Marxist State Media was keeping the Epstein story in the headlines because they were subliminally tying Trump to Epstein (or so they hoped).
- Key Findings:
- 821 total minutes of coverage across ABC, CBS, and NBC since July 7, 2025.
- ABC, CBS, and NBC together devoted 821 minutes to Epstein (and Maxwell) mentions starting July 7.
- Network breakdown:
- ABC: 358 minutes — by far the most aggressive.
- NBC: 276 minutes
- CBS: 187 minutes
ABC alone gave nearly twice the airtime that CBS did, revealing stark editorial differences. - Program-level details underscore the scale:
- Morning shows racked up nearly 400 minutes — with Good Morning America leading at 141 minutes.
- Sunday shows added 148 minutes, with ABC’s This Week responsible for 98 minutes by itself.
- Anchor commentary was substantial: NBC Nightly News anchor Hallie Jackson delivered nearly 101 minutes of Epstein-related framing.
- And Curtis puts the numbers in context: while massive, this frenzy still trails the 2,284 minutes the networks poured into Russiagate during Trump’s first two years — underscoring how these manufactured crises become the dominant media narrative.
- Curtis’s study is not opinion or speculation — it’s a minute-by-minute quantitative analysis that exposes how the networks are constructing the new Russiagate, crowding out competing stories and shaping public perception through sheer volume.
- By devoting this much time, the view is left with the impression that something big is coming!
- Last night, the White House released a statement which said:
- “ABC “News” is not journalism — it’s a Democrat spin operation masquerading as a broadcast network. The network’s longstanding commitment to hoaxes, character assassinations, and outright fiction targeting only one side of the political aisle is a deliberate deception to wage war on President Trump and the millions of Americans who elected him to multiple terms.”

Jake and the Judge:
- Lindsey Halligan, President Donald Trump's handpicked U.S. attorney who brought chargesagainst former FBI Director James Comey, told a judge Wednesday that the full grand jury that indicted Comey did not see the final indictment -- only the foreperson and another grand juror did.
- Halligan's testimony came in a hearing Monday in which Comey is seeking to have the indictment thrown out on the grounds that it's the product of a vindictive prosecution.
- Halligan told U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff that the full grand jury voted to indict Comey on two of the three counts submitted in the original indictment, but that the final revised indictment reflecting the two counts Comey was ultimately charged with was not reviewed by the full grand jury -- only by the jury foreperson and one other grand juror. (ABC News)
- A federal appeals court has blocked a lower-court ruling that sought to limit how immigration agents can use force during Chicago-area enforcement operations, calling the judge’s order "overbroad" and "too prescriptive."
- The Seventh Circuit panel cautioned against "overreading" its stay, noting that a fast-track appealcould result in a "more tailored and appropriate" order. (Fox News)
- What’s next after a court blocked Texas’ gerrymandered- maps?
- The state is expected to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to temporarily pause the ruling, which would allow Texas to use the more recent map while the appeal plays out.
- Will this decision affect California gerrymandering?
- Judge grills government over apparent lapses in Comey indictment.
- The case's prosecutor said the full grand jury didn't see the final indictment.
- “What the Founders Feared” - History teaches that personal liberty once lost does not come back, and government power once acquired, remains.

Segment Topic:
- Senators Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona, along with Representatives Chris DeLuzio of Pennsylvania, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Jason Crow of Colorado, posted a video on Tuesday essentially ordering these professionals to betray Trump and implement a ‘soft coup,’ rendering him powerless to carry out his policies (REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS).
- Aren’t the Dem-Coms pulling a page from their 2020 Playbook? Isn’t this what they told Mark Milley to do?
- An insurrection or treason?
- This is not TDS!
- What is an illegal order?
- “Don’t give up” – it calls for insurrection, it calls for a coop’ based out of our military.
- Did soldiers obey Biden’s orders to abandon Afghanistan? Where did that get us?
- Didn’t the Dem-Com’s tell our servicemembers that they had to roll up their sleeves and submit to MRNA or be drummed out of the military?
- Weren’t they the ones who drummed men and women out of the military during the Biden Regime who were found to have attended a MAGA rally or had social media accounts which were favorable to President Trump?
- This video evidence proves what I have been saying: Dem-Coms are no longer a political party – but a Communist insurgent revolutionary council – targeting the overthrow of the Republic.
- Military Tribunals are the only remedy.
- It is time for swift, powerful and decisive action by the White House.
- This is evidence that the Democrat Communist Revolutionary Council is planning a future insurgent operation to overthrow our government and they are attempting to increase the size of their insurgent troops they have already formed.
- Does their insurgent army need enforcements due to mass deportations?

Michael Pack, director and producer of The Last 600 Meters. That documentary, which aired on PBS on Veterans Day-eve, told the true story of the Iraq War.
Mr. Pack is the President of Manifold Productions and Palladium Pictures.
Michael, I don’t remember any Democrat calling for our soldiers to disobey orders they received in Iraq – a clearly illegal war. War in Iraq, was NOT declared by Congress.

New Arctic discovery could deal massive blow to Chinese dominance of rare earth minerals! (Fox News)
As of 2024, the U.S. was at least 93% import-dependent on both rare earth elements (REEs) and graphite itself, according to the International Energy Agency, and the Graphite Creek deposit has already been dubbed the largest such tranche in the U.S.
But, this week’s announcement that REEs were discovered in addition to the graphite lode portends a step-up that the U.S. can take against the CCP through Trump’s "American energy dominance" agenda, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Graphite One is the largest graphite deposit in the U.S. and N.A. so far. Graphite is a key component in LITHIUM batteries. G1 is part of Trump's FAST-41 resource fast track program. But now RARE EARTH ELEMENTS have been found among the graphite deposits, making the Graphite Creek project EVEN more critical to resource and defense development.

- Here are six takeaways from the latest Fox News national survey.
- Some 76% of voters view the economy negatively. That’s worse than the 67% who felt that way in July and the 70% who said the same at the end of former President Biden’s term.
- The only this this poll proves is that those polled by Fox news are dumb and stupid.
