Republicans in Your Bedroom

Republicans are passing BIG GOVERNMENT Fascist laws to regulate every aspect of American’s lives, including in your bedroom. They’re trying taking away women’s contraceptives and want to make the abortion pill illegal. Soon it will be condoms.

Crazy Items in the Project 2025 Leader’s Book That Trump Doesn’t Want You to Read

Project 2025 leader and Heritage Foundation president, Kevin Roberts, is exposed for his deranged and dangerous goals in book that gets delayed to release in order to help Donald Trump with voters. Items include forcing couples to have children (whether they want them or not).

 

The Supreme Court ruled (Jun 30, 2014) in a 5-4 vote that private corporations can reject insurance coverage of birth control based on their religious beliefs. This was the beginning of the where we are today where Religious beliefs are dictating Theocratic laws written and enforced by Radical Right Wing Religious Fanatic Republicans.

 

A growing number of today’s Republicans no longer believe there should be a separation between church and state.

 

Republican Christian Nationalists admitting they want Trump to be a Dictator and eliminate Democracy

The reason Republican Christian Nationalist want a dictatorship is because they know the majority doesn’t share their radical beliefs, so they want to take control of the government and CRAM their radical beliefs down the majority’s throats.

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

 

Hungary Is a Version of What Republicans Wants For The U.S.

Chief national correspondent at the New York Times, Mark Leibovich, and former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence, Frank Figliuzzi, react to Fox News’ anchor Tucker Carlson’s bizarre choice to host his show from Hungary, a country with an authoritarian regime.

 

Trump Endorses Right-Wing Autocrat In Hungary

Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul and former FBI special agent Clint Watts discuss with Nicolle Wallace the former president’s endorsement of Viktor Orban ahead of the Parliamentary elections in Hungary.

 

Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.

 

Similar to Russia and North Korea, Republicans Anti-Protest Laws Violates Freedom of Speech

Similar to how Russia & North Korea stifles Freedom of Speech, Republicans are doing the same in the United States by passing more than 80 Anti-Protest Bills in 34 States they control.

 

 

Republicans are Threatening our Liberty & Freedom… passing Anti-Choice Legislation Against Women, Turning the U.S. into a Gestapo Secret Police State by Placing $10,000 Bounties on anyone who helps a Women get an Abortion, Forcing 10 yr/old Girls to give Birth to a Rapist Child, passing laws which Criminalize Assembly & Protests, Laws Limiting what can be Discussed & Taught in Classrooms, Banning Books, Laws Legalizing Running over & Killing Protestors, Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering, Voter Obstruction, Voter Purges, Passing laws to Overturn Election Results, Decreasing Voting by Mail, Decreasing Drop Boxes, Decreasing the Days & Hours people can Vote, Making it Illegal to give Food or Water to people waiting in Long Lines they’re responsible for causing to make it difficult to Vote, Conspiracy Theories, LIES and refusing to eliminate the Electoral College which made two (2) unpopular & unqualified Republicans Presidents, who the majority didn’t vote for.

J.D. Vance Disparaging Tim Waltz Military Record

Chris Hayes debunk the right-wing ‘B.S.’ about Tim Walz’s military career

 

Ex-Minnesota Governor / Navy Seal Jesse Ventura calls JD Vance’s criticism of Walz’s military record ‘Despicable’

“I think it’s shameful that a veteran would attack another veteran. Governor Walt served honorably for 24 years in the National Guard. After 20 years, you are eligible to retire at any time you deem necessary. They talk about him missing his deployment. Well, maybe Mr. Vance should ask the real question. What is the National Guard doing deploying to a foreign country in a foreign war? Well, let’s go into history and figure out how that happened. That happened because George W. Bush and Dick Cheney went into the Iraq War based on lies, no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to al-Qaeda, nothing with 9-11, and they ran out of bodies. They needed more bodies. They couldn’t implement a draft. That would be political suicide. So what George Bush did was sign an executive order sending the National Guard into foreign deployment.

The National Guard is not for foreign deployment. Their name says what they do. They guard our nation from within. So this hogwash about Governor Walt’s missing a deployment, not only that, he’s 24 years, he’s an E9. I deployed twice. We never even had an E9 with us when we deployed. E9s are not going to walk the point. They’re not going to be involved in any combat whatsoever. They’re figureheads being the most senior enlisted within their company, and that’s what it’s all about. So I think that Vance is doing a disservice to himself and a disservice to the United States Marine Corps. I know a lot of great Marines, and Marines show respect, and Vance is not showing respect. Who does he have respect for?

Donald Trump, the biggest draft dodger from the Vietnam War, the rich white boy who bought his way out of it. I come from South Minneapolis. My friends and I didn’t get out of it. We either got drafted or we enlisted. I know six or seven or eight of my friends.  Donald Trump was your typical rich white boy who didn’t have to serve in Vietnam because he could buy his way out of it. And that’s who Vance is standing with, this guy who leads from the rear. Then why do you think, given all that you’ve described from the politics, the history, and of course, the person who’s on the top of the ticket, who has been criticized for the bone spurs reason for not going to serve.

So why do you think this is the line of attack to choose politically? Obviously, it would offend and alienate voters on one level and also people who have served the armed forces on the other. I don’t know. You’d have to ask Mr. Vance that. I don’t understand his motive whatsoever, how he could turn against a fellow veteran. You know, there’s kind of an unwritten rule amongst us veterans. You don’t criticize another veteran. As a frog man in the United States Navy, my job was to ensure the Marines could get to shore to do their job. We went in ahead of them. We went in before them to ensure the Marines could land. And his point of being a Marine like he is and then criticizing the governor after 24 years of service, it’s despicable on his behalf for doing that. And I hope all veterans feel like I do about it. You don’t criticize another veteran and how they served.”

J.D. Vance Proves He’s LAWLESS, Blocking DOJ Nominees

https://themessenger.com/politics/vance-plans-to-hold-up-bidens-justice-department-nominees

Per the above article: “J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) announced Tuesday he will place a hold on President Joe Biden’s nominees to the Justice Department as revenge for former President Donald Trump’s indictment.

“Donald Trump is merely the latest victim of a Department of Justice that cares more about politics than law enforcement,” Vance said in a statement. “Starting today, I will hold all Department of Justice nominations. If Merrick Garland wants to use these officials to harass Joe Biden’s political opponents, we will grind his department to a halt.”

The Senate can approve nominees through a process called “unanimous consent,” which allows for a faster confirmation by setting aside the typical procedures for confirmation provided no senators object. With just one objection, all nominations are required to go through procedural and confirmation votes.

Vance’s promise to oppose unanimous consent votes may slow down Justice Department appointments, but it won’t completely stop them: procedural and confirmation votes require only a simple majority”.

2010 GOP House of Representatives: 2nd Least Productive in History

On Face the Nation, Speaker John Boehner was asked about his record of presiding over the least productive and least popular Congress in history. He responded by defending the obstructionist policies of far-right Republicans and said that Congress should be, “judged on how many laws we repeal.” If you ever had any doubts, this confirms it — Republicans would rather obstruct than govern.

 

The 113th Republican Majority House of Representatives is the Least Productive in History. When Democrats had control of the house, senate and presidency in 2008 they got a lot accomplished. Most of the bills passed benefited regular Americans.

That’s because Democrats represents regular Americans and Republicans represents the $Rich$ and Radical Right Wing.

 

 

 

Republicans Responsible for Mass Shootings

Republicans are responsible for mass shootings and deaths since 2004 because President George W. Bush let the Assault Weapons Ban expire in 2004. Republicans have refused since then to allow it to be renewed.

Under the 1994 Clinton Administration Assault Weapons Ban, the maximum capacity of a magazine was set at 10 rounds. AR-15s were one of 18 semiautomatic weapons banned under the 1994 law that expired in 2004 during the Republican George W. Bush administration despite broad public support and a drop in gun fatalities.

Since then, killers have used semiautomatics to target victims en masse at Virginia Tech in 2007; the Fort Hood military base in 2009; the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado in 2012; a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012; Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, CT in 2012, the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando in 2016, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting which left 58 people dead, the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fl in which 17 students died, mass shooting on March 22, 2021 at a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, CO in which 10 people were killed, May 14, 2022 a gunman shot 13 people killing 10 at a grocery store in Buffalo and May 24, 2022 at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde TX which left 21 people dead and 17 more injured.

Republican Senator Brags About Stonewalling Gun Control While Multiple Mass Shootings Are Happening

During a day in which 60 shootings occurred, including multiple mass shootings, Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas tweeted that gun control was “not gonna happen.” He and his Party are going to do everything they can to block gun control legislation that the majority of Americans support, all because they love their money from the gun industry.

 

Republicans don’t care that a clear majority of Americans has supported banning Assault Weapons for years. They’ve put their allegiance to the NRA above doing what the American people want. This is more proof that Republicans don’t believe in Democracy or representative government. Similar to Fascist Authoritarian Dictator Regimes, it’s about cramming what they want down their subjects throats.

Since Republicans have consistently refused to make assault weapons illegal, refused to pass legislation which demands tests & minimum requirements for gun / weapons ownership, Republicans are responsible for ALL mass shootings in the United States in which assault weapons were used.

People have to get a license to drive a car… they also should be required to pass some kind of tests to own a gun.

There have been 213 mass shootings so far this year. The death toll in school mass shootings is also startling — since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, 77 students have been killed.

AR-15: The Gun Behind So Many Mass Shootings

The AR-15 assault rifle is commonly used in mass shootings in the United States. Here’s a closer look at likely reasons why.

 

Proof That AR-15s Are Weapons Of War

The death toll from the shooting in Colorado may be unusual in most countries, but it’s common in the U.S. because the alleged killer used an “AR-15 style rifle,” a weapon explicitly meant for going on offense and not defense. In this special report, MSNBC’s Ari Melber traces the origins of the weapon and its intended use, how civilians came about using it in increasing numbers, and what makes it so deadly. This is an excerpt from a longer special report. Aired on 03/23/2021.

 

Two days before the deadly riots at the Capitol, the NRA sent a letter to its members claiming that under the Biden administration, armed government agents would “storm your house, take your guns and haul you to prison.”

The LIE that the NRA and Republicans continue to peddle that… “Democrats want to take your guns away is TOTAL BS!

They use this ridiculous lie to make sure low-information people ALWAYS vote for Republicans, who want to take away their Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security while giving Tax Breaks to the Rich.

Amazing how almost half of the people in this country are so stupid that they consistently vote for Republicans… who consistently do NOTHING for them.

 

Per an article at; wpr.org/survey-only-3-percent-americans-own-half-guns-us;

“Only 3 Percent Of Americans Own Half The Guns In US. The percentage of Americans who own guns decreased from 25 percent to 22 percent, according to the report. It also found about 78 percent of Americans don’t own guns, and 19 percent of adults in the U.S. own the remaining half of firearms in the country.

The Guardian newspaper referred to the 3 percent group as “super-owners” and said they own an average of 17 guns each”.

A small portion of the population who believe there should be NO regulations are bullying and forcing their radical demands of “no regulations” down the throats of the majority.

 

83 Percent of Americans support background checks on people purchasing guns and limiting access to semi-automatic weapons. The NRA and Republicans are doing everything possible to thwart the will of the American people.

Rachel Maddow points out the irony of Donald Trump’s remarks that the Las Vegas shooter was “sick and demented” when one of Trump’s first legislative accomplishments was a law to make it easier for the mentally ill to get guns.

 

Texas Loosening Gun Laws Weeks After Mass Shooting

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott defended new gun laws that ease restrictions on gun owners in that state, hours after the laws went into effect and hours after a gunman shot at least 21 people, killing seven, in and around Odessa, Texas.

The new laws loosen restrictions on gun ownership and use in schools, foster homes, apartment buildings, and houses of worship.

 

Republican Tells THE TRUTH About Gun Control

Republicans are owned by the NRA and gun lobbies. Although over half of Americans want Assault Weapons banned and enhanced background checks to stop mentally ill people from getting guns, Republicans don’t care and will continue to do nothing. The only solutions is to vote Republicans out of office.

 

90% of Americans and 92% of gun owners want gun reform, but the NRA has found clever ways to block that in Washington.

 

Far-right militias and domestic terrorism in America

 

As shown, Republican congressmen are bought & paid for by the NRA.

 

The NRA is also responsible because they also do not want any restrictions on the sale / purchase of assault weapons and have used their lobbying power to make sure Republicans don’t support assault weapons bans.

GUNS RUIN LIVES

Gun advocates love to claim guns save lives and are necessary for self protection. Here’s just a few examples of how guns ruined lives and how if the shooters didn’t have a gun, none of these events would have happened…

Columbine High School Massacreclick here to read

Colorado Theater Shootingclick here to read

Sandy Hook Elementary School shootingclick here to read

Florida man gets life in prison for killing teen over loud musicclick here to read

Pennsylvania Road-rage killing after lane mergeclick here to read

The most notable examples above of killings which could have been avoided are the Pennsylvania road-rage killing and Killing teen over loud music. These were rage and out-of-control temper cases. If the shooters hadn’t had a gun these events wouldn’t have happened. Their having a gun caused their lives & their families, the people they shot and their families to be destroyed.

As shown in the above examples, not everyone is emotionally stable enough to own deadly weapons. People have to get a license to drive a car… they also should be required to pass some kind of tests to own a gun. Also, military grade weapons which can rapid fire over 20 rounds of ammo should not be allowed to be owned by Average Joe citizens.

Republicans do not care that 80% of Americans want Gun Control legislation to be passed.

 

Republicans War On The Poor and Working Families

Robert Reich connects the dots to expose Republicans War on the Poor and Working Families including their opposition to minimum wage, unemployment insurance, food stamps and more.

 

Republicans are constantly demonizing the poor by claiming their lazy and don’t work. Millions of people who are poor work full time in low paying jobs, such as those in the food service industry at places like McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc. Just because these jobs are low paying doesn’t mean they are not important. We couldn’t function as a society if no one was willing to work these jobs.

 

REPUBLICAN Ron DeSantis LOWERS Minimum Wage In Florida

 

The above video exposes how Republicans are hypocrites who engage in, and condone Socialism for the Rich in the form of corporate bails-outs, tax payer funded sports stadiums, farm subsidies (22 billion in 2019 when Trump was President), but harsh “pull yourself by up by your own bootstraps” Capitalism for everyone else.

 

 

Republicans are demanding stricter work requirements in the debt ceiling fight, which also include GOP demands for cuts targeting the poor. “You’re taking people off of SNAP, off of food stamps, and Medicaid,” MSNBC’s Ali Velhi tells Joy Reid. “What kind of country is looking to have fewer people have enough.”

 

Fox Guest Compares Poor People To Dogs Who Are Only Obedient When They’re Hungry

A Fox News guest this past week may have accidentally let the cat out of the bag when he said that poor people have it too good by receiving extended unemployment benefits, then drew a parallel to military dogs who are only obedient to commands when they are hungry. This is what the Right wants for America – a country so starving and desperate that they will do anything their masters ask them to do.

 

House Republicans tried to pass H.R. 5003, misleadingly titled “Child Nutrition and Education Act of 2016”, a bill which would inevitably take free school lunches away from poor schools and children.

Running on a platform of raising taxes on the most vulnerable citizens is never a winning strategy, but Scott thought that he knew better than Mitch McConnell and his arrogance could sink his Party in November.

Republican Senator Rick Scott is now trying to lie his way out of his plan to raise taxes on low income Americans, and he’s claiming that this was never part of his plan. However, it is clear as day in the plan as Scott prepared it, and no amount of creative talking and linguistic gymnastics are going to be able to change the fact that this is what he wanted to do.

 

Avlon calls out GOP senator for denial on Fox

Rick Scott Lies to Sean Hannity About Tax Hikes In His Plan. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Florida) proposed a plan to raise income taxes on Americans who don’t pay them currently, and then denied it in an interview on Fox.

 

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is a typical Republican who wants to cut Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid.

 

Republicans in the US Senate voted to cut funding from Medicare and Medicaid in order to help fund their 2 TRILLION tax cuts for the rich. They are taking away healthcare from the needy in order to give more money to the greedy.

 

A new study shows that despite the makers vs. takers rhetoric pushed by many Republicans, red states are the most dependent on government programs.

 

Republicans Don’t Care about the Poor

 

Paul Ryan’s attitude about poor people is typical of most Republicans. His idea of helping the poor is to completely eliminate food stamps, social security, medicare and medicaid.

Paul Ryan frequently talks about “taker & makers”. If anyone is a “taker”, it’s Paul Ryan and Republican politicians who’s been on the public dole their entire life and does nothing to help average Joe Americans.

 

Paul Ryan has been dreaming about cutting Medicaid Since College

 

REPUBLICAN Paul Ryan stated; “The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand .” That’s freshly minted GOP vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan talking — statements he would eventually recant — at a party celebrating what would have been the prolific author’s 100th birthday…”. Did Rand, a libertarian darling, idolize serial killer Walter Edward Hickman?

 

Paul Ryan’s anti-poverty agenda is a SHAM. His idea of helping the poor is to completely eliminate food stamps, social security, medicare and medicaid.

ALL Republicans are in principle against government programs and Paul Ryan is no different. They vilify government programs by calling them “socialism” and “communism”.

 

GOP gets ‘down the block’ tough

The Nation’s John Nichols and Sen. Jeff Merkley join to discuss the GOP’s new faux tough-guy attitude, and how it’s hurting countless Americans.

 

Republicans voted to cut 39 Billion Dollars from the Food Stamp program, but have no problem giving tax breaks to the wealthy.

 

Congress dithers while Americans go hungry

Millions of Americans struggle to put food on the table while Congress struggles to negotiate a farm bill linked to SNAP

 

Food stamp cuts to create ‘hunger cliff’

About 47 million poor people are about to have less to eat — and the worst may still be coming.

 

Trump Wants To Replace Food Stamps With Food Boxes

 

Rep. Jack Kingston, who is running in Georgia’s senate primary, attacked the poor in a recent conversation with supporters.

 

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT ADMITTED HE WASN’T CONCERNED ABOUT THE POOR

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said that he’s “not concerned about the very poor,” citing the social safety net in place for that segment of the populace and adding that he’s focused on the middle class”.

 

Mitt Romney admits he is not concerned about the poor — not long after he tried to convince a crowd he was.

 

This chart shows where all of the money is going. There would be plenty of money for Healthcare and to help the Poor if so much wasn’t being wasted on the military.

 

Since 2001, the United States has been spending 900 Million a week in Afghanistan. Republicans has no problem spending trillions on the military, bombs and wars, but they want to cut programs like food stamps, medicare, social security, etc which benefits regular Americans and the poor.

 

Congressman Who Gets Millions In Farm Subsidies: Food Stamps Stealing ‘Other People’s Money – Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-TN) agitated against food aid for poor Americans included in the Farm Bill during last week’s House Agricultural Committee debate, accusing the government of stealing “other people’s money.” Funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has already been decimated in both the House and Senate versions of the Farm Bill, cutting off nearly 2 million working families, children, and seniors from food assistance.

Fincher invoked the Bible in his defense of the devastating cuts, quoting, “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” Read the whole story here

Congressman Quotes Jesus In Bid To Gut Food Stamps

While Republican Stephen Fincher cites chapter and verse to prove that it is immoral for out of work folks to mooch off government largesse, he fails to mention that his own fingers have been observed in the public till.

 

Farm Subsidy Recipients Who Voted to Cut Food Stamps

http://www.alternet.org/10-farm-subsidy-recipients-who-voted-cut-food-stamps

GOP’s definition of freedom means freedom from Social Security and affordable Health Care for most families and even freedom from necessary food-assistance benefits for about 170,000 veterans.

 

Republicans Take Hypocritical Stance In Food Stamp Debate

House Agriculture Committee Republicans who vocally supported billions in cuts to federal food assistance are big-time recipients of government help in the form of farm subsidies.

Reps. Stephen Fincher (R-Tenn.) and Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) both cited the Bible last week to argue that while individual Christians have a responsibility to feed the poor, the federal government does not.

The Fincher That Stole Food Stamps

The second most heavily subsidized farmer in Congress said Washington should not “steal” from taxpayers to support food assistance like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — better known as food stamps.

Republicans are for “welfare for the Wealthy” and they want to continue spending trillions on the military. We should cut military spending in half and in doing so there would enough money to take care of All Americans, including the homeless.

Cutting assistance to the poor is in direct opposition to Christ’s teachings.

Matthew 25:40 says “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me”.

Matthew 25:31-46 says “For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’’

Republicans constantly site the bible to rationalize their every day actions, but are hypocrites by doing everything possible to take away assistance to the poor.

Cutting assistance to the poor is in direct violation of Christ’s teachings. Republican Christian Religious Fanatics are some of the biggest hypocrites in the world.

Republicans are Enemies Of the Poor and Middle Class

If you make less that $40,000 a year you would be crazy to vote for Republicans. Like Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney said” I’m not concerned about the poor”.

Republicans REFUSE to increase taxes on the rich but want to increase taxes on the poor. There are many corporations which pays no taxes at all and Republicans refuse to do anything about it. Republicans are protectors of the rich and do not care about the middle class and the poor.

If you have any low income republican friends, try to make them understand they are being used and they need to STOP voting for republicans.

Republicans want to take away Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. Don’t let them! ALL Republicans should be fired

Republicans War on Education, History, Teachers & Books

REPUBLICANS are passing Laws banning books, limiting what Teachers can Teach and what can be discussed in classrooms with huge fines of up to $10,000 for violations. Republicans want BIG GOVERNMENT controlling every aspect of people’s lives.

 

Trump has taken the GOP’s assault on transgendered people and teachers to a new level this week by signing an executive order that allows the Department of Justice to begin prosecuting teachers who support transgender and nonbinary students. But the order is much darker than it would seem – if a teacher uses pronouns for a student that do not correspond with the gender assigned to them at birth, they will be prosecuted. This is about to lead to all sorts of chaos in the education system,

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns joined CNN on Tuesday and accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) of creating a Soviet-like system through his bills targeting materials available in public schools. DeSantis has been focused on introducing legislation specifically aimed at explicit and “woke” materials in schools. His efforts have earned major pushback as critics argue new strict guidelines can be used to target LGBTQ and Black history-related content. House Bill 999 would give more power to a university board of trustees over curriculum being taught and essentially ban controversial curriculum like Critical Race Theory.

DeSantis & Florida Republicans are following in the footsteps of Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education

 

Right Wingers around the world are systematically destroying Democracy, implementing One Party Rule with rigged elections, take-over of the News Media, Judiciary and take-over of Education, similar to what DeSantis and Republicans are doing in Florida.

 

Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.

Professor slams DeSantis for quashing Black history education

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is trying to control the type of education that Florida students can receive, most recently rejecting an advanced placement course in African-American studies, claiming it was “contrary to Florida law” and “significantly lacking educational value.” The law he is referring to seems to be the “Stop Woke Act” that basically gives him the power to downplay the true racial history of America. This has impacted many educators, but there are some in the state who refuse to back down. Dr. Marvin Dunn, one of the preeminent historians in Florida, is saying “Bring it on.”

 

Schools Are Fighting Back Hard Against REPUBLICAN Attacks

Republicans have spent the past few years attacking public education – and teachers, especially – as part of their ongoing assault on the LGBTQ+ community. And school districts have finally had enough, and they are working tirelessly to fight back against the onslaught of attacks, lies, and conspiracy theories that Republicans are spreading about our school systems

 

REPUBLICANS in Oklahoma are taking the suppression of education to a whole new level, with new legislation that would allow teachers to be fined $10,000 for teaching anything that goes against Christian beliefs, which would include basic biology lessons. It would also be illegal for teachers to raise money from outside sources to pay the fines, and they would also likely be fired for offenses – and each individual student’s families could sue for $10,000. This is not just obscene, it is an attack on public education and teachers.

 

REPUBLICAN State Bills To Limit What Teachers Can Say

Republicans across the country have introduced 137 pieces of legislation at the state level trying to limit what teachers are legally allowed to teach their students. Discussions about race, gender, and sexual orientation are being outlawed in areas where Republicans have the numbers to pass the legislation. This is going to set our education system back generations, and experts believe it will soon lead to a mass exodus of teachers all over America.

Banning Books Stifles Curiosity, and Ultimately Imperils Society

In recent weeks, hundreds of books have either been challenged, barred, or face proposals to get pulled from schools, curricula, and libraries across the country. They’ve been deemed “controversial” for a variety of reasons. Some say they contain “objectionable language”, they’re “too sexually explicit”, or they fall falsely accused of being about Critical Race Theory. In some cases, the problem with these books is that their contents just might make a young reader or, more likely their parents, uncomfortable. There are a host of arguments made against the books – some are simply prudish, but several are clearly racist or homophobic or transphobic, and most of it is anti-intellectual: the same sort that gets us climate deniers and anti-vaxxers. Simply put, banning books is bad. It deprives people young and old of exposure to ideas, concepts, and world views that are not their own. It stifles curiosity. It perpetuates stereotypes. And when you dampen curiosity, you weaken our ability to think critically – to know when you are being fooled. Banning books is going to make us into a stupid society, vulnerable to misinformation and manipulation. We are less informed when our choices about the range of information we consume is arbitrarily limited. Sometimes it feels like there’s too much to fight for and it’s hard to win.

 

Teacher Resigns During Kansas School Board Meeting With Powerful Speech

 

Opinion: Fighting Fascism from Our Classrooms – The Educators Room

As the United States is gets closer and closer to outright fascism, classrooms represent crucial sites of resistance.

Per the above article: “American Authoritarianism Isn’t New”

“It’s important during this dark time to remember that banning books and threatening teachers isn’t new. Former high school history teacher, Ursula Wolfe-Rocca, compiled an excellent critical review of McCarthyism for the Zinn Education Project. She reminds us of the long history of targeting anti-racist, queer, leftist, and anti-war organizers and educators.

When I read about the current anti-Critical Race Theory push in schools, I also think of educators more recently who risked their jobs in order to promote conversations about equity.

As we consider our strategies to push back against rising fascism today, we would do well to remember its historical roots in this country. In doing so, we can also find examples of educators who resisted. While silencing critical thought in American schools is not new, certain aspects of this moment feel uniquely dangerous.

Across the country, Republican-controlled states are passing laws that are limiting access to voting, gerrymandering districts, and changing the way votes are counted and certified. Without federal intervention, we will enter into a dismal new period in the United States. The same folks who want to ban books and anti-racist teaching will control our government at every level.
What Can Educators Do?

To fight fascism from your classroom, you can’t do it alone. In her dedication of We Do This ‘Til We Free Us, Mariame Kaba shares wisdom from her father, “Everything worthwhile is done with others.” Practically every significant social change in history was accomplished through collective action. Joining a community means access to resources, wisdom, and support. And if something goes wrong, you won’t be alone.

As you fight fascism in your classroom, remember to do what you do best. When people disagree with your politics, they will try to attack your skill and expertise. Don’t let them. Come to your class prepared. Make space for student-led discussion and inquiry, but ground your teaching in facts. The Morningside Center offers ten guidelines for teaching about controversial topics.

Our job as educators has always been to help students make sense of the world. That way they make a difference in it. Students need to learn about the history and presence of racism in the United States. They also need an understanding of the Constitution, as well as fights over democracy that have taken place in the United States. Classrooms must be places where students learn this context. Only then can they comprehend and fight back against the rising threat of fascism”.

 

Anthony Crawford, Teacher
Millwood High School

“My name is Anthony Crawford. I’m a teacher in Oklahoma, and I’m also part of a group of educators and students represented by the ACLU in a lawsuit against the state’s law, HB 1775 – which severely restricts learning and talking about race and gender in the classroom.

You see, Oklahoma, where I live and teach, is one of nine states that passed classroom censorship bills last year that try to silence conversations about race and gender – bills that chill students’ and educators’ First Amendment right to talk about issues that impact our everyday lives.

State lawmakers and school boards across the country have also made moves to remove books by Black, LGBTQ, and other authors discussing race, gender, and sexuality from curriculums amidst the ongoing debate about teaching “critical race theory” in schools.

But this isn’t the first time America has tried to eradicate certain truths out of history books. Read my story in full here and you’ll get a bigger picture of what I’m talking about.

When I was a junior in high school, for instance, I was kicked out of AP History class just for asking when we were going to learn about Black history. It was Black History Month, Anthony.

Later, when I became a teacher, I made it my goal to equip my students with a curriculum that incorporates readings on race and gender – that gives them an accurate picture of history, that helps them understand what kind of society they live in, and how this reality came into being.

Some aspects of Black history can be hard to talk about, but learning about it builds students’ confidence and empowers them to take life into their own hands.

That’s also one of the reasons why I’ve chosen to defy HB 1775 by not altering my teaching – and why, again, I hope you’ll dive into my story on this urgent fight against censorship alongside the ACLU right now.

After all, the more of us there are who are informed and speaking out – the stronger we can be for our students and our right to learn.

Thanks for reading,

Anthony Crawford

Woman charged with murder in Texas after causing a ‘self-induced abortion’

Officials in Starr County, Texas, say 26-year-old Lizelle Herrera is facing a murder charge after authorities said she caused “the death of an individual by self-induced abortion”.

Reproductive rights advocates are voicing their outrage after a woman in Texas was arrested and charged with murder for what law enforcement called “the death of an individual by self-induced abortion.”

“Herrera was arrested and served with an indictment on the charge of Murder after Herrera did then and there intentionally and knowingly cause the death of an individual by self-induced abortion,” sheriff’s Maj. Carlos Delgado said in a statement to the Associated Press.

Rockie Gonzalez, founder of Frontera Fund, the nonprofit abortion access fund that organized the protest, called the arrest “inhumane,” adding in a Saturday statement that “criminalizing pregnant people’s choices or pregnancy outcomes, which the state of Texas has done, takes away people’s autonomy over their own bodies, and leaves them with no safe options when they choose not to become a parent.”

What Aristotle Knew About Oligarchy That We Forgot

In this video, we explore Aristotle’s book “Politics,” where he breaks down different types of government, including oligarchy – when the rich call the shots. Aristotle didn’t just theorize; he studied 158 constitutions from Greek city-states and beyond, giving us deep insights into how governments really work.

Study Finds The United States Is An Oligarchy

 

The US is dominated by a rich and powerful elite. So concludes a recent study by Princeton University.

If you don’t know what Oligarchy means, here’s wiki’s definition;

Oligarchy (from Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía); from ὀλίγος (olígos), meaning “few”, and ἄρχω (arkho), meaning “to rule or to command”) is a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small number of people. These people could be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, education, corporate, religious or military control. Such states are often controlled by a few prominent families who typically pass their influence from one generation to the next, but inheritance is not a necessary condition for the application of this term.

 

Proof The US Is An Oligarchy, Not A Democracy

“A study, to appear in the Fall 2014 issue of the academic journal Perspectives on Politics, finds that the U.S. is no democracy, but instead an oligarchy… The authors of this historically important study are Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page, and their article is titled “Testing Theories of American Politics.” The authors clarify that the data available are probably under-representing the actual extent of control of the U.S. by the super-rich”

Throughout history, oligarchies have often been tyrannical (relying on public obedience and/or oppression to exist). Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich, for which the exact term is plutocracy. However, oligarchy is not always rule by the wealthy, as oligarchs can simply be a privileged group, and do not have to be connected by either wealth or by bloodlines – as in a monarchy.

Eric Zuess, writing in Counterpunch, isn’t surprised by the survey’s results.

American democracy is a sham, no matter how much it’s pumped by the oligarchs who run the country (and who control the nation’s “news” media),” he writes. “The US, in other words, is basically similar to Russia or most other dubious ‘electoral’ ‘democratic’ countries. We weren’t formerly, but we clearly are now.”

Major Study Finds The US Is An Oligarchy

Government serves special interests, not people.

Per the above article: “The U.S. government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country’s citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern universities has concluded.

The report, “Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens” (PDF), used extensive policy data collected between 1981 and 2002 to empirically determine the state of the U.S. political system.

After sifting through nearly 1,800 U.S. policies enacted in that period and comparing them to the expressed preferences of average Americans (50th percentile of income), affluent Americans (90th percentile), and large special interests groups, researchers concluded that the U.S. is dominated by its economic elite.

The peer-reviewed study, which will be taught at these universities in September, says: “The central point that emerges from our research is that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while mass-based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence.”

Researchers concluded that U.S. government policies rarely align with the preferences of the majority of Americans, but do favour special interests and lobbying organizations: “When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the US political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favour policy change, they generally do not get it.”

 

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

Proof of how Republican’s policies are bad for working class people is how California Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder ran on a platform of eliminating the minimum wage.

 

Right Wing Media Brainwashing Viewers

The definition of Propaganda is;  “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view”.

If you’ve been watching nothing but Right Wing Media, you’d be shocked by the information they haven’t been reporting which the majority of people see on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc. Right Wing Media outlets spins news so it’s always favorable towards Republicans.

FOX News pundits (and other Right Wing Media outlets) are helping destroy the United States & Democracy by promoting lies, hate, conspiracy theories, omission of the facts, etc to keep their viewers in the dark about the damage Republicans has been doing to the United States, it’s citizens and outright lies such as the 2020 election being “Stolen” and Trump “Won in a landslide”.  Example shown on this page.

 

Strategist for GOP 2008 McCain / Palin Presidential campaign Steve Schmidt explains how Fox News and Rupert Murdoch have destroyed America

 

The “Fox-Can-Lie Lawsuit” established that they’re not required to be truthful by law. Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts are free to tell their Right Wing viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.

 

Right Wing media outlets brainwash their viewers into believing the Mainstream Media is “Fake News” so they only watch Right Wing Media sources. This helps them make more money because MORE VIEWERS = MORE PROFITS in advertising. And it helps Republicans get re-elected, against the best interests of middle class and poor Americans. Right-Wing outlets want to KEEP their viewers brainwashed so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans have been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”.

Fox News staffers agree: Fox is not a news organization

Multiple Fox News employees told media reporters that newly released filings from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network show that Fox prioritizes its prime-time opinion programming over its news division. They echo what past staffers who have left say: Fox is a propaganda network for Republicans.

Per the above article: “Multiple Fox News employees told media reporters that newly released filings from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network show that Fox prioritizes its prime-time opinion programming over its news division. They echo what past staffers who have left say: Fox is a propaganda network for Republicans”.

Anonymous quotes from Fox staffers show Fox is not a news organization

In response to incendiary revelations in two recent filings released as part of Dominion’s defamation case against Fox News, as well as a host of supplemental exhibits also provided by Dominion, the rift between the façade of Fox’s “news side” and its actual core business as a Republican propaganda outlet has grown into public view.

  • A Fox News journalist told CNN that “the opinion folks are probably right in that there really isn’t a lot of love lost between us and them.”
  • According to The Daily Beast, a Fox reporter “wondered how [Fox primetime host Tucker] Carlson could continue to work for the company after it was revealed that he was demanding at least one journalist be fired for doing their job.”
  • A Fox producer told The Daily Beast: Carlson “acts like the king of Fox. Entitlement. Extremely unprofessional.”
  • One Fox correspondent told The Daily Beast: “Honestly, Tucker is a joke, and I don’t know many in the news division that likes or respects him. He makes our jobs harder and way more dangerous.”
  • A senior Fox staffer told CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy that he was correct and “should keep saying” that the Dominion filings made it clear that Fox isn’t a news network.
  • A news production staffer at Fox told The Daily Beast that it’s always been “opinion first, news secondary” there: “The news side has always been kind of used as a bit of a shield, a bit of a legitimacy play. And I think that in and of itself is, it’s kind of falling apart now.”
  • A Fox producer referenced the criticism of Fox’s reporters revealed in the filings, telling The Daily Beast: “If journalists are being criticized for being hard on the Trump admin or truthfully talking about the election, it’s a form of censorship. The news division is being given less importance.”
  • A Fox reporter called out Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott in The Daily Beast’s report for “clearly not looking out for the news side,” adding: “How can we all continue to work for her?! How can anyone watching Fox for news believe that they’re gonna get news if she’s in charge? We are not happy.”
  • A veteran Fox journalist told The Daily Beast that “Tucker has publicly attacked and humiliated journalists here at Fox before,” so “it shouldn’t be a surprise that he was trashing us behind the scenes.”
  • One Fox correspondent told Brian Stelter, writing for Vanity Fair of the released text messages from Fox’s prime-time opinion hosts: “We thought they hated us, but now we know it in their own words.”
  • A Fox staffer told CNN that “people are really shocked and disgusted” by what was revealed in the filings, adding: “Even longtime staffers. You would think after all we’ve been through nothing could surprise us. But this is unprecedented.”
  • A Fox reporter told The Daily Beast that the fallout from the filings is “demoralizing, deflating and soul-crushing” to a journalist.
  • More than one Fox employee told Stelter “we’re all embarrassed” by the filings’ contents.

Fox staffers in the past have also explained how the network operates like a propaganda outfit rather than a news organization

“This reaction to the contents of the Dominion filings is not the first time current or former Fox staffers have called out the network for being little more than a GOP propaganda shop; Fox veterans Chris Wallace, Carl Cameron, Shepard Smith, and Chris Stirewalt all agreed that Fox’s core business is not news once they left the network. Wallace called it “unsustainable” that Fox questioned the 2020 election results and downplayed the pro-Trump insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Cameron said that “over the years, the right-wing hosts drowned out straight journalism with partisan misinformation.” According to CNN, Smith believed “that his presence on Fox became untenable as opinion shows on the network spread falsehoods that hosts knew were lies.” Stirewalt admitted that Fox became “an arm of a political party” during the Trump years. And there was even more on-the-record criticism of the network from former employees who said they were “increasingly embarrassed by the channel,” which had become “a destructive propaganda machine” during the Trump era”.

Additionally, a September 2019 report from The Daily Beast attributed the following anonymous quotes criticizing the network to then-current Fox staffers:

  • Fox has acted like state media for a long time. This is just one small element to it.”
  • “As an employee, I have had concerns about how close Fox has become with the White House and the administration. I don’t think I’m the only person there who has these concerns. …
  • With these layoffs in multiple news departments coming just a few weeks before the election, it looks like Fox is more like an extension of this administration, instead of a news network.”
  • “The opinion team appears to have won the internal battle” with the news side.
  • The leaders of the Fox News website “are not interested in facts. They are obsessed with pitching ‘on-brand’ stories that include Blue Lives Matter, anything antifa-related, anyone who has suffered during BLM protests that can put the protestors in a negative light, anything that threatens Christianity, and anyone who is a Trump supporter who has somehow been wronged.”
  • “The Brain Room, in their research, came up with facts that were not used in Fox reports or were in contradiction to what Fox aired. I have to imagine that kind of tension has always existed there, between the fact-checkers and what is often reported.”
  • Top Fox executives have “long been unsupportive of real, unbiased reporting. They do not see themselves as a real news operation in the sense that people are doing original work, trying to break stories and get to the bottom of things, wherever the chips fall.”

 

As shown in the above screen shot from FOX’s Jessee Watters show, the chyron makes the outrageously false claim that “Biden Convicts Trump”, a lie Trump and other Radical Right Wingers has been using to SMEAR, DEMONIZE and make their brainwashed viewers hate President Biden so they’ll vote Republican, against their own best interests.

 

Trump has been spreading the ridiculous lie that Joe Biden is responsible for Trump being indicted in New York, Georgia, Washington & Miami and has weaponized the government to go after him and engage in “Election Interference”.

There’s not a shred of evidence that Biden has encouraged State or Federal Prosecutors to “go after” Trump.

One of the key lessons we have learned from these filings in Dominion’s case against Fox is there’s nothing too low, nothing too extreme and nothing too dangerous. If the base likes it, the base gets it—because Fox knows where their bread is buttered.”

Trump tries to make his own criminal indictment about Joe Biden

Biden allies, legal experts and strategists say silence may be the best option even in the face of a torrent of Trump attacks.

Per the above article; “When Donald Trump announced to the world Thursday night that he had been indicted on a raft of federal charges, his message was consistent and singularly focused: Joe Biden is using the government to crush his political comeback. That the attorney general appointed by Biden had named a special counsel to helm the investigation — a move intended to insulate the president from a decision to prosecute — was omitted by Trump and the battery of Republican allies who quickly rushed to his defense. And it’s likely to be a nuance lost on voters, as the indictment stokes Republican fears about political bias inside the Justice Department.

Trump’s announcement that he had been indicted began, “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys,” going on to call it a “boxes hoax” and “election interference.” Nearly every statement after that continued to invoke the president for his predecessor’s problems. A centerpiece of Trump’s defense is: ‘This is a political prosecution brought against me by the Biden government.

Asked during a news conference Thursday what he could tell Americans to convince them they should trust the Justice Department’s independence, Biden responded that his record in office belies the accusations he now faces.

“You’ll notice, I have never once — not one single time — suggested to the Justice Department what they should do or not do on whether to bring any charges or not bring any charges,” he said. “I’m honest.”

 

BUSTED! The Dishonest Methods FOX Uses to Make Their Viewers Disrespect and Hate Joe Biden

Fox News was caught red-handed deceptively editing a sound bite to Joe Biden say something he didn’t say. This was another “scandal” they invented to make their viewers hate Joe Biden & Democrats, the very party which stands up for the Middle Class and the Poor.

 

Fox News laying the groundwork for the next big lie about non-existent fraud

Fox News lies about poll numbers in the above video, claiming Trump is so far ahead that the only way Biden can win is if Democrats rig the election.

Pretty rich when TRUMP paid Hush Money to silence a porn star keep the American people from finding out about his adulterous affairs to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, engaged in a corrupt & illegal smear tactic to destroy Joe Biden as a potential 2020 Democrat candidate by demanding the Government of Ukraine publicly announce investigations of Biden before Military Aid would be released. After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump REFUSED to admit defeat and LIED claiming without any proof that the election was ‘stolen’ and he ‘won in a landslide’. Trump demanded Georgia Election Officials “find votes” to help him STEAL the 2020 election. Trump used legal tactics to challenge the election results in 50 lawsuits and when those challenges didn’t work he resorted to inciting his followers to engage in a violent COUP to overturn the 2020 election to stay in power against the will of the people. This violent coup was the final act committed by the most Lawless and Corrupt administration in American History. In addition, lawless congressional Republicans behaved like spoiled brats, voting to overturn the election results in Congress, because they didn’t want to accept the fact they they LOST.

After all of the lawless, rotten behavior Trump and Republicans engaged in, Fox “News” propaganda peddlers have a lot of nerve insinuating ‘Democrats’ might ‘steal’ the 2024 election. These people are ROTTEN to the CORE and have no decency or shame.

Angelo Carusone, President of Media Matters and Ben Rhodes, former Deputy National Security Advisor under President Obama join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with a look at how right wing media, and Fox News specifically are setting the expectation for their audience that it is not possible for President Biden to win a second term without some type of nefarious activity, stoking the same lies that fueled the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

Right Wing Media has been extremely effective in propagating and reinforcing Republican’s lies to brainwashed viewers.

Proof of how Republican’s policies are bad for working class people is how California Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder ran on a platform of eliminating the minimum wage.

 

Fox News C.E.O.’s Strategy at Center of $1.6 Billion Lawsuit (Published 2022)

Suzanne Scott remade Fox News Media into a lucrative consumer brand. But a defamation suit against the company is a test of her strategy and leadership.

Per the above article from the New York Times; “Since Scott took over the top job at Fox News in 2018, her colleagues said, she has managed from behind the scenes with a simple mantra: Respect Fox’s audience. Often that involves sparing conservative viewers what they don’t want to hear — even when that means ignoring one of the biggest stories of the year.

That strategy has helped Fox News succeed not just as the most-watched cable news network in the country but also as a multibillion-dollar consumer brand with a suite of businesses that, according to a recent company promo for one product, offers fans “The World According to Fox.”

But Scott’s Fox News — a sanctuary for conservatives where few unpleasant facts intrude and political misinformation has spread — also looms large in a case that threatens Fox’s business and possibly Scott herself. She has emerged as one of the central figures in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems, in which the voting company accuses Fox executives of juicing ratings and profits by repeatedly airing false information about Dominion machines siphoning votes away from former President Donald Trump”.

BOMBSHELL SCANDAL: Fox News Hosts Texted Meadows Amid Riot, Urged Intervention

Fox News Pundits Partisan Double Standards & Hypocrisy EXPOSED

Tucker Carlson acts like a Spoiled Brat Psychotic Punk in the above video cutting off an ex-cop, abruptly ending the interview when confronted with information which didn’t fit his narrative.

 

 

You Literally Can’t Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox’s Lawyers

Fox News viewers don’t expect facts from Tucker Carlson, according to network lawyers who defended their star in a slander lawsuit filed by a woman who said she had an affair with President Trump.

Per the above article; “You can’t expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson’s mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson’s critics. It’s being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News’s own lawyers. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil’s opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox’s lawyers: The “‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary. ”

 

 

Title from Youtube; “Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites”

Description from Youtube; “Tucker Carlson has branded himself as a populist, condemning the “liberal elite” that he argues makes up the American “ruling class.” It’s a good shtick, and it’s helped him stand out from other Fox News hosts. But while Tucker decries the “elite” on his show, he regularly ignores major stories of Republican economic policies that harm the working class, choosing instead to focus on bogus culture war stories.

That isn’t an accident. Carlson’s show is meant to distract Fox News viewers from Republican economics, channeling their frustration and anger at groups that don’t deserve it. That kind of misdirection produces what Marxist theorists call “false consciousness”: when workers are tricked into accepting their own exploitation”.

 

When spoiled kids whine

Saying the White House “can’t not give us a pass,” Tucker Carlson shows why we need a better class of rich people

Per the above article; “Nothing says “spoiled child” like Tucker Carlson. The son of wealthy Republican William Carlson, a former Los Angeles television anchor who became the head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and a U.S. ambassador, Carlson used his family connections to sail into journalism. Except for a brief moment when he seemed willing to ruffle the powers that be – his first George W. Bush profile for Talk magazine comes to mind – he has done nothing but afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable in his career. Examples of his partisan ethics abound, but my favorite was his shrill defense of Scooter Libby in the Valerie Plame case while never acknowledging that his father headed Libby’s defense fund. Wealthy Republican family values at work”.

They can do as they please because, in their minds, the consent of the governed is now little more than an annoying, irrelevant detail.

Per the above article; The fossil fuel industry is a poster child for corporate welfare.

“Federal subsidies and tax breaks prop up fossil fuel development, even when drilling projects should be too expensive to turn a profit. Below-market leasing rates, royalties and fees subsidize oil and gas companies, encouraging them to exploit our public lands and leaving taxpayers on the hook for the environmental damage.

In the “Build Back Better” Act, Congress has an opportunity to make oil and gas corporations play by the same rules as everyone else. The House has included common-sense oil and gas reforms in its version of the bill, and the Senate should follow suit.

Taxpayers should get a fair return from oil and gas companies that drill on publicly owned lands and waters. The House bill would make this change. Right now, these polluters pay below-market rates to extract resources that belong to all Americans.

The federal government’s current 12.5% royalty rate for onshore drilling was established by the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920. It has not been updated for more than a century, even where technological advances have reduced the financial risk of drilling. By contrast, states are far more aggressive in ensuring their taxpayers are not ripped off — even states that tend to be friendly to fossil fuel companies — with Wyoming and Utah collecting about 17% in royalties and Texas going as high as 25%.

Modernizing the federal royalty rate would provide huge benefits to Americans. Taxpayers lost out on more than $12 billion over the past decade because polluters weren’t paying fair market rates for drilling on public lands and waters, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense. Recovering these dollars would enable Congress to allocate more money to other programs in the bill, including those that protect the environment and make it easier for families to afford the rising costs of childcare, pre-K and higher education.

The House’s Build Back Better Act also closes a legal loophole that leaves taxpayers, instead of oil and gas companies, on the hook for cleaning up shut-down wells. Under the current requirements, the bonding coverage that polluters purchase up front to make sure environmental remediation costs are paid doesn’t come close to covering the actual cleanup costs. In effect, that means that oil and gas companies can profit off pollution, then leave taxpayers to deal with the mess they leave behind”.
