If they committed crimes charge them but don't try to silence them by restricting access. Once we lose a free media we will become Russia.


Access is a privilege not a right. C-BS is not "free media" when they make up stories. Give their pass to a podcaster who is actually putting out a legit news show.

understanding Deep State and what they are capable of

Hegseth was accused of making it up that he was accepted at West Point [he declined and went to Princeton]

Quote:
ProPublica first asked West Point’s administration about his application, and the school denied twice that Hegseth had been admitted or that he had ever even applied (it said it has “no file on him”). When ProPublica then came to Hegseth’s representatives for comment, he produced the evidence [a letter of acceptance] ... which he very fortuitously happened to have preserved — and West Point responded, “Oh, yes, as it turns out, we were wrong; he was accepted after all.”

Courts disagree with you.

Netflix’s Latest Cancellation ‘Joins the Depressingly Long List of Queer Shows Axed in 2024

Nobody watches, and that's all that matters. 98% of the population has no desire to see
the 2% of the population those shows represent.

Like this crap:

I watch most of the Taylor Sheridan movies.

Landman is the current one starring Billy Bob.


I recently read he has a $600M property in Texas.

I believe it's because he writes pretty good.


One of the reason's he's such a good writer is he doesn't push woke garbage.

Too much violence at times, but not woke and not broke.

I don't like the violence neither.


If I watch a movie and they begin to show woke stuff, I begin a mental timer to turn it off.

That's why Netflix was canceled.

Never got the Disney channel garbage and surprised I lasted this long with Netflix.

Drone sightings have been happening since 2019 when drones flown from the Hong Kong-flagged bulk carrier, MV Bass Strait surveiled US Warships off the coast of California.

'In 2020, a new swarm of large drones began appearing in the skies over rural Colorado and Nebraska, where some of the nation’s Minuteman III nuclear missiles are stored.'

I would surmise that a good number of drones spotted over the mainland probably belong to our military.

Mackenzie Scott donated $2 billion to charity this year. Or 6% of her net worth. It must be great to do such good deeds without it affecting you negatively in the least. She’s kind of like BillyRyan on a larger scale.
