Liberal media networks CNN, NBC, and MSNBC have promoted the notion that Republicans don’t deserve equal coverage with their Democratic counterparts. They often claim that Republicans are anti-Democratic and more likely to spread falsehoods.

Joy Reid and Mathew Dowd (left-wing political analyst) suggested Monday night on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the media had been too neutral in reporting on the Republican Party and needed to increase the hostility. She said that the two sides were “not equal” and urged her fellow journalists to tell voters the GOP was a “threat to freedom.”

Dowd was asked by her how she thought the media could “get off” this “both sides” trajectory. Dowd advised them to treat Republicans as if they lived in a society that wasn’t free.

Don Lemon, CNN’s primetime host, had rejected the notion that Republicans and Democrats should have equal media coverage a week prior. Lemon said that the freedom to speak his truth and advocate for his views was “imperative” because journalists don’t live in a “Walter Cronkite society.”

We cannot believe that there is a false sense or equivalency in what is happening with politics in the United States. Lemon stated that there is only one party that isn’t operating in truth right now. That party is the Republican Party.

Brian Stelter, a CNN host, also asked whether Republicans should receive the same coverage in December as Democrats. This was during a conversation with Jackie Calmes, a Los Angeles Times columnist, about her article condemning “both-siderism.”

“Is it possible that we are treating Republicans and Democrats equally, but ignoring GOP radicalism?” That’s the root of the problem. Stelter asked.

Lester Holt, NBC News anchor, was praised by liberal media figures last March after he said that reporters don’t have to hear both sides to a story to find the truth.

Holt stated that “It’s becoming clear that fairness doesn’t reflect the world in which we live.”

Later, he stated that reporters have a duty to “fairly tell the truth” and urged others not to give time or attention to opposing views.

He said, “Decisions not to give unsupported arguments equal attention are not a dereliction or some kind of agenda. In fact, it’s the exact opposite.”

Similar arguments were also made by MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell and Nikole Hannah Jones, New York Times Magazine author and 1619 Project author, and ex-New Republic editor Peter Beinart, and ex-TIME managing editor Richard Stengel.

A June Pew Research Center survey of almost 12,000 journalists found that most don’t believe either side deserves equal coverage.

According to the poll, 55% of respondents said that not all sides “deserve equal coverage.” 44% agreed with the statement that journalists should report on both sides.

This seems to contradict the previous response. An overwhelming majority (82%) of journalists said that journalists should not share their personal opinions in reporting. However, only 55% of them told Pew they believe that journalists are succeeding in this goal.

The Senate’s new gun control bill was approved by 14 Republican votes on Tuesday evening. After just one hour, the 80-page bill was released. Senators Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney gave their approval. Mike Caputo and John Cornyn were the lead negotiators, working together with Democrats to create it.

We highlighted some of the most disturbing provisions, such as its funding of “red-flag” laws and its dumping of billions in the partisan DOJ. Cornyn and others claimed that the money to “harden” schools was missing from a cursory reading. This was supposed to be the “big win” for Republicans, but I only see payoffs to federal bureaucracies.

However, that didn’t stop the Senate floor from exuding positive vibes. Cornyn, in fact, previewed the next betrayal while laughing with Senator Kyrsten Sinema about immigration.

As I said in my initial criticism of the push for gun control, I am completely baffled as to why any Republican, even Graham, and Cornyn, would believe that stabbing GOP voters in the back was a good strategy heading into November. Are they willing to lose? In fact, it might be safer to assume they do. Is there another explanation for such political idiocy, you ask?

Joe Biden currently has the lowest approval rating in polling history for any president at this stage in a presidency. The Republican turnout is outstripping the Democrat turnout during primaries. Mayra Flores, a Congresswoman, has flipped a blue Texas district that had been held by Democrats for more than 100 years. This is the right time to “compromise” on immigration and gun control.

This is not a political strategy. The gun control bill is a bunch of useless fluff, which would not prevent mass shootings. If it fails, Democrats will push for confiscation with the leverage and justification of saying “See, your ideas didn’t work.”

There is no indication that the Biden administration will enforce immigration law no matter how much money you spend. The problems there aren’t just a money problem. The president actively chose to undermine the system by making them a policy issue. Why give Democrats amnesty when it won’t have any effect on security?

All of this is absurd from all angles, so now is the time to make a stand. Your elected representatives should be contacted and encouraged to speak up. These types of capitulations will have severe consequences in the future. These must be challenged.

Governor. Ron DeSantis consolidated his position as the most grounded person on the planet. He did this in a political climate that saw Republicans folding like wash-and-wear suits while still noting that Florida is a “free” state.

As a governor, his popularity has increased over the years due to his involvement in high-voltage issues. He was thrown into a collision with Disney over this issue, and the multi-billion dollar company is likely to regret how it ended up.

On Tuesday, based DeSantis returned in a scathing rebuke of the Biden administration and the mainstream media’s criticism of Florida for not recommending the vaccination of infants from the coronavirus. Over the course of four minutes, the governor lit into the lies told, while standing firm in the face of even Republican complaints that he didn’t get the state involved in the distribution of the shots.

It is rare for a GOP politician to choose not to take the easy route out, which would have been to let the state order the shots. After all, 49 other states did so, and a lot of those are led by Republicans. Instead of following the pack, though, DeSantis correctly stated that the data does not back up giving infants and toddlers the COVID-19 vaccines, a position he’s staked out without the benefit of any cover.

This is an admirable act to witness. We should not be shooting small children up with drugs based on what amounts to societal pressure. There’s a reason, as DeSantis points out, that European countries aren’t doing so. Some have even banned the use of the Moderna vaccine because of the possible side effects.

COVID-19 is nearly completely safe for children. This should be considered when deciding on public policy. DeSantis is following the facts, even though many won’t. True leadership is also characterized by criticism.

The governor’s response even hits Dr. Anthony Fauci. He noted that Dr. Fauci and the rest Biden administration had rejected natural immunity for many years. We are now supposed to believe them when it comes to whether vaccines are needed for babies. Who in their right mind would adopt such a stance?

DeSantis’s real strength is not in his decision to avoid getting the state involved in this nonsense. The State of Florida recommends against vaccinations for small children, as the data proves it is not beneficial. This is a difficult position for him to take, but DeSantis cares more about doing the right thing than making the beltway happy. He’ll be rewarded big in November. If I’m correct, it will pay off later on.

On Tuesday, Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg was convicted by the South Dakota Senate on two charges. This sent him to jail and will prevent him from holding office in the future.

A 2020 car accident in which Republican Ravnsborg struck a man with his vehicle resulted in impeachment. He claimed that he thought that he had hit a deer or another large animal the night before the crash and that he didn’t realize that he had hit someone until the next day.

Republican State Senator Lee Schoenbeck stated, “There is no doubt that it was a lie.” “This person ran over an innocent South Dakotan.”

Alexis Tracy, Clay County’s state’s attorney, was the one who led the prosecution team. He said Ravnsborg “absolutely sat the man that he struck in a few moments afterward.”

Joseph Boever, 55, was that man. After Boever threatened to sue Ravnsborg, Ravnsborg came to a settlement with Boever’s widow. The settlement terms have not yet been disclosed.

Ravnsborg was charged with two traffic offenses in the wake of the accident. He pleaded not guilty to each and was fined $500. He was convicted by the State Senate of malfeasance and a crime that caused death. Ravnsborg was accused by the State Senate of using his position to “set the tone” and “gain influence” over the investigation and telling “misstatements and outright lies.”

Ross Garber, an impeachment expert, said that Ravnsborg’s attorney would remove the attorney general from office, which would be “undoing their will.”

Gov. Kristi Noem will choose Ravnsborg’s replacement. She will serve until a new Attorney General is elected in November, and then sworn into office.

Noem tweeted Tuesday night, “After nearly two years the dark cloud over Attorney General’s office is lifted.” “It’s now time to move forward and restore confidence in the office.”

After nearly 2 years the dark cloud over the Attorney General’s office has been lifted.

It is now time to move on and begin to restore confidence in the office.

Joe Biden wants to boost his numbers and make it look like he is doing something about gas prices and inflation. According to a Civiqs poll, he’s at 32 percent approval, his lowest ever. It looks like the Democrats will be in serious trouble come November.

According to a senior administration official, Biden now plans to ask Congress for a suspension of federal gas taxes for three more months. Federal gas taxes are now at 18 cents per gallon and 24 cents for diesel per gallon.

Although gas prices might fall a bit if Congress agrees to the idea, prices are increasing so fast that even an 18-cent “drop” might be absorbed. However, this doesn’t solve the ongoing problem of producing more energy. Biden doesn’t want to address the root issue. He’s repeatedly stated that he views this crisis as an opportunity for them to eliminate fossil fuels and achieve their radical green energy goals.

Barack Obama described suspending the gas tax as a “gimmick” in 2008 to save half of a tank of gasoline so that lawmakers could claim they had done something. Obama stated in April 2008 that “the easiest thing for a politician is to tell you exactly what it is you want to hear.” It is Biden’s attempt at helping himself and the Democrats in the midterms. To get votes, it’s only temporary. What happens if it goes back down and the problem isn’t solved? This is not what he’s referring to.

The tax holiday could make matters worse.

Concerns are also raised about the impact of a gas tax holiday on already high inflation. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is a non-partisan group advocating for reducing the federal budget. It has previously been argued that suspending tax for a period of 10 months could increase gasoline demand and other goods when the economy already faces high consumer demand and pandemic-induced disruptions to supply chains.

The blog stated that while the gas tax holiday might reduce prices at the pump it will also increase demand for gasoline and other goods at a time when the economy is not able to absorb it. “The result could lead to even higher inflation rates in 2023,” the blog post stated.

Instead of increasing supply, he would actually increase demand, which would eventually make the situation worse. Biden might be hoping the Republicans will question his move, and it doesn’t go through. Then he can attack them.

Biden blames the oil companies and threatens them with legal action. The truth is that gas prices have risen since Biden took office, partly because he attacked energy companies. After demonizing and trying to get them in, he now wants them to produce even more. They can’t make a dent in their efforts to produce more.

About a week ago, the American Petroleum Institute and American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers wrote a joint letter explaining to Biden that their refineries operate close to their maximum capacity but that almost half of their capacity was removed due to facilities converting to renewable energy. All the restrictions imposed by government agencies also limit capacity. The green energy policies he has promoted are directly responsible for Biden’s inability to refine more.

Michael Wirth, the Chevron CEO, also criticized Biden’s approach to instability and stated that if problems are to be fixed, they must stop. “Your Administration has largely tried to criticize and sometimes vilify our industry.” These actions are not helpful in meeting the challenges we face, and they are not what the American people should be rewarded.

Biden’s reply to that letter? “I didn’t know they’d get their feelings hurt that quickly,” was Biden’s response to the letter. He sees every challenge as a personal insult. He’s not listening to what they have to say, but it’s right for him and for American national security. A stable energy policy is essential. Biden’s approach was anything but.

The American Enterprise Institute has released a new article warning against the Biden administration’s preparations for an armed conflict. The article argues that war with Beijing will be more costly than official officials think.

Senior fellows Hal Brands (of this think tank) and Michael Beckley, (of the think-tank’s publication, “Defending Taiwan”) suggest that Washington might be preparing for the wrong kind of war. They offer some suggestions for how to prepare.

Many defense planners and the Pentagon seem to be focused only on winning a short-term conflict in Taiwan Strait. This would prevent a Chinese invasion.

They claim that both sides would prefer a small, but spectacular war in the western Pacific. But that’s not what they will get.

They claim that a war between China, the U.S. and Taiwan would be “likely to last, and not short”, regionalized, rather than localized, far easier to start than end, and much more easily initiated than finished. ”

Both sides have much at stake and the potential to sustain their losses.

They state that Beijing will not give up if the United States defeats a Chinese attack against Taiwan. They say that Chinese President Xi Jinping explicitly stated that the Taiwan issue must be resolved during the current generation and that “reunification” is essential for the great revitalizion China’s nation. Beckley and Brands warned that Xi could lose power and even his lives if he admits defeat.

The American side points out the implications for the balance power and domestic outrage over a “Pearl Harbor-style attack by the U.S.A. to start the war” as reasons they will continue fighting.

Brands and Beckley foresaw a long-term war. They offered four options for Washington’s preparation. ”

They suggested that the U.S. should “own the escalation ladder”, and be ready to blockade China’s blocksades in order to stop them “threatening to transform an extended war into an economic catastrophe for China.” ”

They stated that the U.S. must define victory realistically. Given that both sides possess nuclear weapons, they predict that “anegotiated compromise” will be the result.

China’s aggressive behavior towards Taiwan puts the US in “dangerous waters,” says a Chinese expert
What would it end?

Brands and Beckley state that “the simplest solution would to stop attacking Taiwan and make a promise to Taiwan that it would not declare independence and America would not support it.” This suggests that the U.S. could offer to withdraw its troops from Taiwan.

The United States could have saved an energetic, strategically placed democracy. Both parties could save face and move on.

Twitter users were shocked and amazed Tuesday when Musk’s offer was accepted by Twitter’s board.

Fox Business reported Tuesday that Twitter’s board had “unanimously recommended that its shareholders vote in favor of Musk’s $44 Billion bid to purchase the company.” The recommendation was revealed in a Tuesday SEC filing.

It stated that the Twitter board had “determined that the merger arrangement is advisable” and that the merger and other transactions contemplated in the merger agreement were fair to, advisable, and in the best interest of Twitter’s stockholders. The merger was (2) approved and adopted.”

Musk, who was voted in by the board, is now one step closer to becoming the owner of Twitter. This move has been controversial and many critics remain unsure if it will happen.

Musk stated that there are still “unresolved issues” to resolve before the deal is finalized. These include debt financing and a resolution to his Twitter dispute over the amount of spam and fake accounts.

However, Musk’s new social media platform was a source of excitement and fear.

Washington Times columnist Tim Young ridiculed the hysterical leftist in tweets. He wrote, “The Twitter board unanimously recommended that Elon Musk’s $44B takeover be approved… so prepare for all leftists who have said they would leave Twitter… not to leave Twitter.”

Keemstar, YouTube creator, exclaimed: “Twitter board approves Musk’s $44 billion acquisition!” It’s happening!”

“Twitter’s board unanimously approves Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover offer.” Miranda Devine, Fox News contributor, wrote that there was much gnashing of teeth at the Ministry of Truth.

Steven Crowder, a conservative comedian, predicted the collapse of leftists by tweeting: “Twitter board approves @elonmusk’s bid for $44 billion in unanimous decision. “Leftist minds will explode,”

The news was not received enthusiastically by all. Dean Obeidallah, a MSNBC contributor, reminded Twitter users after the announcement that Musk might reinstate the Twitter account of former President Trump.

Elon Musk now wants to take back the man who attempted a coup on Twitter. Musk can be called many things, but an American patriot cannot be one,” he tweeted.

Dary Rezvani, a former Democrat congressional candidate, slammed Musk over recent news while mocking another headline about the billionaire’s biological son – now a trans man – disowning him.

Rezvani tweeted, “Elon lost his child today, but gained a project he didn’t want but continued pushing so that he could appear cool to his internet buddies.”

Matt Vespa, Townhall’s chief executive, expressed sympathy for Twitter employees who were unable to sleep after the approval. He tweeted, “While we wait for opinions from SCOTUS, Twitter’s board unanimously approved Elon Musk’s $44 billion bid for Twitter. It was a difficult day for the woke employees Again.”

“Don’t do it!” Nelson Branco, a Toronto Sun reporter, exclaimed on the platform.

Matthew Loop, author and businessman, said that he hoped this was a win for free speech.

Mark Levin will moderate the debates between two Florida Republican congressional candidates at the 2022 Sunshine Summit. The Republican Party of Florida plans to host four such discussions as the midterms rapidly approach and Republicans hope to take back control of the House in November.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), made the announcement Monday at a Callahan press conference. Qualified candidates from congressional districts 4, 7, 13, and 15 will participate in the four debates. The 13th district will include the Republicans competing to fill Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL’s) seat. Crist hopes that DeSantis will challenge him in this year’s gubernatorial race.

The debates will be held at Hollywood’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Mark Levin, conservative talker, author, Life, Liberty & Levin host, will moderate two of the debates.

“So, as part of the Sunshine State Summit, we are, The Republican Party… They’re going to be sending out invitations to the qualified candidates for those races. DeSantis stated during the press conference that they would be having debates at the Sunshine Summit.

“There will be four debates. He said that he had Mark Levin for the first two debates.

“And then, we’ll have, the two other we’ll work with and we’ll announce the moderators. It just gives the chance for credible candidates to be able it. To qualify, you will need to meet a certain threshold. This threshold is very achievable. He said that it was very, very possible.

The RPOF requires that a candidate poll at least 5 percent in an RPOF poll of each primary race by July 13, 2022, or raise and report publicly “at minimum $100,000 in monetary contributions” by July 13, 2022.

But I believe it’ll turn out to be something worthwhile. “You know, you do these summits. But to have just a day’s worth a bunch people giving platitudes or these speeches — I think that the people get bored by it,” said the governor.

“And so, we want to ensure that we’re doing things I believe are really, really informative. He said that this will provide candidates with a unique opportunity to talk about their visions, and compare them to their competitors. Stay tuned for more information.

The RPOF describes the Sunshine Summit as having a “robust agenda” of guest speakers, panel discussions and other programming that features top Florida Republican officials and conservative voices.

Joe Biden once suggested that Vladimir Putin did not want him to become president because he was afraid of him. Biden doesn’t currently seem like a threat to Putin or anyone else. He needs to be surrounded by his family in order to avoid answering questions from the media.

Biden was on his latest vacation and stopped by reporters to chat during a morning walk. However, his granddaughter and daughter pulled him away.

His family has had to rescue him many times during his vacation. Jill Biden drug him from the reporters on Friday.

Biden relied often on his closest friends to keep him from embarrassing himself in front of the press. Biden was saved by the Easter Bunny in April from answering questions from the media during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Since Biden recently fell off of his bicycle, his family must want him to take some time before embarrassing himself in front of the media again. With Biden, it won’t be long before he embarrasses himself, but for now, it may be best if his family keeps him from making himself look like the complete idiot that we all know he is. Give it time, because we all know it will happen again.

A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission is now available to the public. Twitter’s board has unanimously approved the sale of Twitter shares to Elon Musk.

The filing is available on the SEC website. It clearly states that Twitter’s Board of Directors feels that the sale is in the shareholders’ best interests.

After considering all the factors detailed in the proxy statement, Twitter’s Board of Directors unanimously determined: (1) determined that the merger agreement is advisable and the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to, advisable, and in the best interests of Twitter and its stockholders; and (2) adopted and approved the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

The Board of Directors of Twitter unanimously recommends you vote:

(1) “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement;

(2) “FOR” the compensation that will or may become payable by Twitter to its named executive officers in connection with the merger; and

(3)“FOR” the adjournment of the special meeting, from time to time, to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement at the time of the special meeting.

Next, the shareholders will vote on the sale. This would be the last step in Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social media giant.

This filing comes one week after Musk met with Twitter employees virtually and months after he declared his intention to purchase Twitter and make it private in the hope of reestablishing Twitter as a platform of free expression.

Musk’s buyout has been met with skepticism by Left-leaning activists and politicians. They have even gone so far as to call him a white supremacist and mentally unstable. The board of directors recognizes that this deal is the best for investors, despite some resistance seen in leaked communications by staff.

Musk would be the chief executive of one of the largest social media platforms online if shareholders approve the sale.
