Brett Hume acknowledges the stake Trump drove through the heart of fake news by walking back yesterday’s outrage
I think the expulsion of those three media outlets from the White House is a mistake, but the record of mainstream outlets in covering Trump is atrocious, as @VDHanson enumerates in detail below.

Tangerine dreams and marmalade sky
Have you ever noticed we live in a country where a 95-year-old man can walk into a mud pit in Chicago, call his band The Fuckers, and start reciting “Enter Sandman” like he’s giving a TED Talk from the afterlife?
William Shatner. Ninety-five. Riot Fest. Douglass Park. Thirty-five minutes. Spoken-word heavy metal. In the mud. With people cheering like this is normal.
It is not normal. It is magnificent.
He did “Crazy Train.” He did “Ace of Spades.” He did Metallica. Not sang them. Talked them. Like Captain Kirk got trapped in a guitar amp and decided to negotiate with Satan instead of the Klingons.
Behind him: actual musicians. Marcus Nand. Phil Soussan. Grown men who have paid rent with real notes while a nonagenarian stands there going, “What the F is heavy metal?” and somehow makes it a question worth answering.
Brian May is on the record. Tony Iommi is on the record. The album is called *What the F Is Heavy Metal?* which is the most honest title in music since someone first admitted most of it is just louder complaining.
The crowd ate it up. Of course they did. We will watch a man old enough to remember radio as furniture stand in wet dirt and dare death to tap him on the shoulder. Death probably took one look, said “I’m not dealing with this today,” and went to find someone easier.
You’re never too old to live out your dreams. That’s the line they always use. The real line is: most people quit the second it gets embarrassing. Shatner waited until embarrassing became the whole act, then sold tickets.
Follow @wickedsmaahht before the rest of the timeline figures it out.

God is great
From @CynicalPublius about his experiences with Islam in the third world.
1. The treatment of women as chattel property. Goats are treated better than daughters—no exaggeration.
2. Widespread pedophilia and bestiality while at the same time people we call “LGBTQ+” in the West are subject to barbaric methods of execution.
3. An absolute lack of freedom of religion.
4. Wanton disregard for human life.
5. Insanely paranoid antisemitism straight out of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
6. Wholly corrupt governments; bribery as a uniform standard.
7. Tribalism to an extreme: tribe trumps truth and justice, always.
8. In the Gulf Arab countries, “Third Country Nationals” from poor Muslim countries engaged in menial labor and literally treated as slaves.
9. Absolute confidence that Islam will violently conquer the rest of the world, and a belief that this is just and proper.
10. Acceptance of the idea that lying can be and is necessary and proper.
I've read and heard similar descriptions so many times from numerous sources with first hand experiences I lost track long ago.
People close to me spent time professionally -- not military -- in these environments and came away with the same views.
Third world Islam is not compatible with Western culture -- it simply is not and will never be.
It is a religiously compelled imperial invading force. It wants what the West has, and it will kill to take it.

Best I can do is a mask, some remedisvir and a ventilator
OK, Medical Establishment – America's Doctor needs you.
You know that he has personally saved each and every one of your lives – and every member of your family too.
Now it's time to give back.
Not with academic awards, prizes, and honorary degrees – he’s already got hundreds of those.
The man needs cash. Cold, hard cash. Your cash.
His lawyers don’t work pro bono – they are not as grateful as you are.
So get out your checkbooks and credit cards and give. Give until it hurts.
Show Fauci some love.
Think of all he has done for you.
It’s the least that you can do.

He’s accepting donations for a defense fund
In his book The Real Anthony Fauci, RFK Jr. details how Anthony Fauci’s NIAID oversaw experimental AIDS drug trials on HIV-positive foster children at New York’s Incarnation Children’s Center and other facilities.
Many of these children were wards of the state. When they refused the toxic experimental drugs, feeding tubes were surgically inserted so the medications could be forced into them.
Dozens of the children died. Some were buried in a mass grave at Heaven’s Gate Cemetery in New York.
These were not consenting adults. They were vulnerable children used as test subjects.

She’ll entertain anything but the truth

There were definitely cockroaches in the apartment
🔥 Her Dad Recorded Bowie. She Attended the Grammys Twice. Now She’s NYC’s “Rent Advisor” — and She Hasn’t Paid Rent in Four Years
Meet Tracy Rosenthal. She grew up in a $1.7M NoMad pad. Her dad won four Grammys recording David Bowie, Coldplay, and the Foo Fighters. She attended the Grammys. Twice.
Today? She’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “Rent Advisor.” No official title. No accountability. Just a whisper-network role in City Hall.
She moved into a Bed-Stuy apartment in 2021. Saw a cockroach. Decided to stop paying rent. Forever.
Four years later, she owes over $108,000.
She calls rent “ransom.” She says landlords hold tenants “at the barrel of a gun.” She wrote a book called Abolish Rent. She co-founded the LA Tenants Union. She organizes rent strikes at buildings across NYC. She appears in Mamdani’s taxpayer-funded propaganda film pushing the logic that whoever occupies a property owns it.
US Bank is now suing her for eviction. Court records call her and four other non-paying tenants exactly what they are: squatters.
She’s 39 years old. She comes from rock-and-roll royalty. She has elite credentials, elite access, elite connections. A black AmEx card. And she believes you should pay your rent—just not her.
The Mamdani administration is building a legal framework to seize private buildings from “irresponsible” landlords and hand them to the government. Their housing director calls homeownership “white supremacy.” Their city-funded film singles out a Jewish landlord by name — and uses the wrong photo. Their Rent Advisor is a deadbeat nepo baby on a four-year rent strike.
They’re not fixing a housing crisis. They’re manufacturing one — then staffing it with people who personally benefit from the chaos.
Rules for thee. Cockroaches for me.
