    CNN Anchor Confronts Republican Presidential Contender With Harsh Polling News

      CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer blindsided a presidential contender with some harsh polling news on Wednesday.

      Blitzer during an interview with former New Jersey Governor and presidential candidate Chris Christie on The Situation Room the CNN anchor asked about a recent New Hampshire poll.

      “I want to get your reaction to this new New Hampshire primary poll,” said Blitzer. “Take a look at these numbers.”

      Blitzer pointed out, “You have a 10% favorable rating in this New Hampshire Granite State poll. 21% neutral. 64% say it’s unfavorable towards you,” before adding, “That’s not very encouraging, is it?”

      Christie responded:

      Well I haven’t seen the poll. This is the first I’ve seen of it, haven’t heard about it, but look, when you’re out there telling the truth, Wolf, and you are pushing hard against the former incumbent president, in the beginning that’s going to be a hard road. That’s going to be uphill to do, but it needs to be done because our primary voters deserve two things. They deserve the truth, they haven’t gotten it from Joe Biden, they haven’t gotten it from Donald Trump. They will get it from me. Secondly, they deserve action on the issues that they care about, and neither Joe Biden or Donald Trump have given them that either.

      “I saw a poll in New Hampshire two days ago that showed me half a point behind Ron DeSantis in third place,” he told Blitzer. “So I don’t know what those numbers are all about, but I’ll pick the poll I like, and I like that one that shows me only half a point behind DeSantis.”

      According to RealClearPolitics’ poll average, Christie is the seventh most popular Republican presidential candidate across the US at just 2.4%.

      Big Tech Censorship is the Real Danger to Our Democracy, and Our History

        ANALYSIS – The collusion between the far-left, the Democrat Party, and Big Tech is one of the most dangerous threats to American democracy today.

        It threatens our 1st Amendment right to free speech, and our ability to get valuable and dissenting views and news online.

        It also threatens to erase and rewrite history akin to the vile practices of totalitarian communist leaders Joe Stalin or Mao Zedong.

        This obscene censorship is also opposed by most Americans.

        According to a piece published Thursday by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), suppressing so-called “misinformation” and “disinformation” online (code words for conservative views they don’t like) about topics like climate change, or elections, could rewrite history.

        A very dangerous thing indeed.

        Quoting the AEI authors, Media Research Center (MRC) NewsBusters writes:

        “[C]onsider now how future historians will view our societies if the collective digital record that has replaced paper diaries, letters, notes, and newspapers is purged of dissenting views,” wrote AEI nonresident senior fellow Bronwyn Howell. 

        “If records of the views of climate change skeptics were removed to make it easier to implement changes, it may never be evident to those in the future that this was in fact a highly contentious issue that divided societies and influenced the choices made by political leaders as the complex issues unfolded.”

        Howell specifically called out New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for her speech to the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in September. In the speech, Ardern justified censoring certain content around climate change and war, as well as content subjectively deemed “hateful and dangerous.”

        “How do you successfully end a war if people are led to believe the reason for its existence is not only legal but noble?” Ardern told the multilateral body. “How do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists? How do you ensure the human rights of others are upheld, when they are subjected to hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology?”

        Anything that offends anyone can be deemed ‘hateful and dangerous,’ and aggressively suppressed, especially by the Left which uses these terms as weapons to pummel all views opposed to their radical agenda.

        Beyond just rewriting history, NewsBusters notes the threat to altering our present elections today. 

        By censoring contrary views that they deem ‘misinformation,’ the Left – having hijacked Big Tech social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn – are rigging elections in favor of the Democrats and their far-left ideology.

        Note: LinkedIn, the giant business and professional site, while generally not mentioned along with the other big ones, is one of the worst offenders. 

        It banned me for posting legitimate, well-sourced stories on China, Hunter Biden, the Wuhan bio lab link to COVID-19, as well as other political topics, including anything critical, or mocking, of the radical ‘trans’ agenda.’

        Newsbusters adds that:

        Just like the Chinese Communist Party-linked TikTok, American-in-name-only companies Facebook and Twitter are working to thwart certain posts about elections, interfering with the American democratic process and potentially altering the course of history.

        Big Tech companies regularly scrub social media of views they deem objectionable, and MRC’s CensorTrack database has documented over 4,500 total cases of censorship by these tech giants.


        Yet, a new national poll, conducted last week for The Federalist by Susquehanna Polling and Research, Inc., concluded that a significant majority of Americans disapprove of this Big Tech censorship.

        As CNS News reports:

        [The poll] asked U.S. voters the following question about the practice by behemoth social media platforms of censoring political content:

        “Do you approve or disapprove of Big Tech companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google censoring news stories and preventing users from sharing articles and information related to the upcoming election in November?”

        According to the poll’s results, two-thirds (66%) say they disapprove of Big Tech’s censorship – including 55% who “strongly” disapprove.

        About a quarter (24%) say they support Big Tech preventing users from seeing, sharing or posting political content that the social media platforms don’t like. 

        Almost 10% had no opinion or were undecided.

        But it isn’t just the far-left-controlled Big Tech censorship that Americans are opposed to, they also don’t trust the establishment media.

        As CNS News reports:

        Asked if they “trust the corporate news media to tell the truth when covering news stories” or think media “misrepresent the facts to push a political agenda,” just 13% say they believe in the media’s veracity, while three-fourths (77%) of voters think media aren’t telling the truth, in favor of a political narrative.

        So, over three quarters of all Americans don’t trust the establishment media and believe it pushes a political narrative.
        When the nation’s largest social media companies collude with one party, and one ideology, to suppress contrary views and news, our democracy is clearly in danger.

        As The Washington Post’s new motto posted after Donald Trump’s election says: ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness.” 

        And indeed, Big Tech and the establishment media are ensuring it does.

        Tucker, Elon Real Winners Of First GOP Debate Night

        The true winners of last night’s debate are former prime-time Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk, owner of X – formerly Twitter. If you’ve spent the last 24-48 hours under a rock – here’s what transpired last night. Eight Republican candidates running to be the next President of the United States took the stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to talk about their visions for the future of America – and how they are the proper alternatives not only to the babbling buffoon currently in the White House Joe Biden, but also to America’s 45th President Donald Trump – now running for the office for a third time. The Wisconsin event was moderated, albeit poorly, by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Of course, the debate in itself was probably somewhat staged. According to multiple reports, the candidates and their prep camps were given the questions in advance. While the debate was going on in Milwaukee, Tucker Carlson aired an opposing pre-recorded interview with America’s 45th President Donald Trump, who himself is set to be arraigned in a Fulton County, Georgia court on Thursday where he is expected to front up a bail payment of $200,000. (RELATED: Trump Agrees To Release Conditions, Including $200,000 Bond) Tucker Carlson has enacted fully-fledged revenge on his former employer and put millions of dollars in the pockets of a new corporate overlord, Elon Musk. X, formerly Twitter, has been working to position itself as the preeminent alternative to the mainstream media since the Musk buyout earlier this year. By the view numbers still rolling in on the video posted last night, they seem to have succeeded in doing that to a level even Musk himself may have never imagined. As of the writing of this piece, Tucker’s 46-minute long X video has been viewed over 186.4 million times. Mediaite noted the following in a piece published yesterday:
        “The interview, which was taped this week and is dropping to coincide with the debate, is intended as additional salt in the wound for Fox executives wary that a Trump-less event will not bring in the major ratings typically expected from these kinds of nights.”
        Notably, video-sharing platform Rumble which was the the first place to try and pitch itself as the free speech alternative to YouTube partnered with the RNC and probably boosted their own profits last night as well. The Rumble stream of the debate from the GOP’s channel has amassed 1.54 million views. Definitely a respectable number, but making up less than 1% of the views amassed by Carlson on X. For the record the Rumble stream via Roku is how I personally watched the debate, refusing to give my dollars to the Fox News machine. Fox News has yet to officially release numbers on last night’s debate but here are some viewership numbers reported by Mediaite from past presidential debates:
        “In 2015, Fox’s primary debate – with Trump and nine other candidates – drew 24 million viewers, smashing previous records and earning the distinction of being one of the most-watched cable programs ever. Overall, 2016 was a blockbuster year for debate ratings: the 12 Republican primary events averaged 15 million viewers.”
        Even if Fox’s numbers last night were close to their past viewership – which they are not expected to be without Trump – Carlson’s X video dwarfed those numbers as well.

        Democrats Attempt To Label Trump’s Venezuela Operation ‘Impeachable Offense’

        Democrats and Republicans have split sharply over President Donald Trump’s decision to carry out strikes in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, with a growing number of Democratic lawmakers calling the operation unconstitutional and some openly urging impeachment.

        Progressive Democrats have led the backlash, accusing the administration of launching an illegal military action without congressional authorization. Several lawmakers argue that the operation amounts to an invasion of a sovereign nation and violates both the Constitution and the War Powers Act.

        “Many Americans woke up to a sick sense of déjà vu,” Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) a member of the House’s progressive “Squad,” wrote on X over the weekend. “Under the guise of liberty, an administration of warmongers has lied to justify an invasion and is dragging us into an illegal, endless war so they can extract resources and expand their wealth.”

        Ramirez called for Congress to pass a War Powers Resolution introduced by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., aimed at blocking further military action against Venezuela, and said Trump “must be impeached.”

        Omar’s resolution seeks to reassert Congress’ constitutional authority over war-making and would require the administration to halt hostilities unless lawmakers explicitly approve them.

        Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) echoed those concerns, criticizing Trump for bypassing Congress to launch what he described as a war with Venezuela. Goldman said the administration failed to provide lawmakers with “any satisfactory explanation” for the strikes.

        “This violation of the United States Constitution is an impeachable offense,” Goldman said in a statement. “I urge my Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives to finally join Democrats in reasserting congressional authority by holding this president accountable.”

        Other Democrats struck a more cautious tone. Rep. April McClain Delaney (D-Md.) stopped short of naming Trump but wrote on X that “invading and running another country without a congressional declaration of war is an impeachable offense,” while also questioning whether impeachment is the most effective strategy. “Whether it makes sense to pursue impeachment as the best strategy to end this lawlessness is a tactical judgment that our Caucus needs to seriously deliberate,” she wrote.

        In California, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) a gubernatorial hopeful, said he would not rule out supporting impeachment when asked by reporters, according to the Pleasanton Weekly.

        Progressive candidates running for office also weighed in. Kat Abughazaleh, a Democrat seeking an open House seat in Illinois, called Trump a “war criminal” in a post on Bluesky and demanded Congress “halt this conflict and impeach” the president.

        Still, Democrats are not unified in their opposition. A number of more centrist lawmakers have either defended the administration’s actions or argued that the removal of Maduro serves U.S. national security interests. Some Democrats have described the operation as a targeted effort to remove a destabilizing authoritarian leader rather than the start of a broader war, while others have said the administration should now work with Congress to define limits and next steps.

        Republicans, for their part, have largely rallied behind Trump. GOP leaders characterized the operation as a decisive blow against a longtime adversary of the United States and a win for regional stability.

        Senior Republicans have also pushed back on claims that the administration violated the Constitution, arguing that the action was a limited law enforcement or counterterrorism operation rather than a traditional military engagement requiring prior congressional approval.

        While impeachment calls are growing among progressives, Democratic leadership has so far stopped short of endorsing that approach

        Democrats just filed articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth — and he could be removed if we don’t act. Hegseth is a God-fearing, America First patriot who made our country safer under President Trump — and that’s exactly why the Left wants him gone. We’re demanding 1,000,000 signatures before MIDNIGHT to show Pete he is NOT alone. STAND WITH PETE. ADD YOUR NAME NOW.

        Rubio Cracks Up At Trump’s Reaction To NATO leader Calling President ‘Daddy’

          Secretary of State Marco Rubio couldn’t keep it together when Donald Trump gave his reaction to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte calling the commander in chief “daddy” earlier Wednesday. 

          During their bilateral meeting in The Hague, Netherlands, Trump discussed the U.S.’ role in brokering a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, saying both countries were like “two kids in a school yard” who “fight like hell” for a short time before “it’s easier to stop them.” 

          Rutte interjected, “Then daddy has to sometimes use strong language.” 

          Trump had used profanity in front of reporters outside the White House before boarding Marine One on Tuesday, saying about Israel and Iran that they “have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing. ” 

          At a subsequent press conference Wednesday, Rubio broke into hysterics when a reporter from Sky News asked Trump about the remark. 

          The reporter reminded Trump that Rutte, “who is your friend.… He called you daddy.” 

          “Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children?” the reporter asked. 

          Trump responded lightheartedly, and Rubio could be seen standing next to him starting to smile and laugh. “No, he likes me. I think he likes me. If he doesn’t, I’ll let you know. I’ll come back, and I’ll hit him hard. Okay?” Trump said jokingly. 

          “He did. He did it. Very affectionate,” Trump added of Rutte. “‘Daddy, You’re my daddy.'” 

          Watch:

          NATO leaders on Wednesday committed that the member states would contribute 5% of GDP annually to defense and security obligations by 2035. 

          “You’re obviously appreciative of that,” the reporter said. “But do you hope that actually they’re going to be able to defend themselves, defend Europe on their own?” 

          “I think they’ll need help a little bit at the beginning, and I think they’ll be able to,” Trump said. “I think they’re going to remember this day and this is a big day for NATO. You know, this was a very big day.” 

          “It’s been sort of an amazing day for a lot of reasons, but also for that,” Trump added, referencing how the greater contributions were decades in the making. Trump claimed it was not possible until he came along.

          Man Accused Of Plotting Trump Assassination Claims He Was Pressured By Iran

            A Pakistani businessman accused of attempting to hire hit men to assassinate political figures — including President Donald Trump — told jurors in a New York courtroom that he was forced into the plot by Iran’s powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.

            Asif Merchant, 47, testified Wednesday that Trump was not the only potential target in the alleged 2024 assassination scheme. According to Merchant, the list of possible victims also included then-President Joe Biden and former presidential candidate and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

            Merchant told jurors he acted under pressure from an Iranian intelligence handler who threatened his relatives living in Iran.

            “My family was under threat, and I had to do this,” Merchant testified through an Urdu interpreter. “I was not wanting to do this so willingly.”

            He said he believed he would be arrested before anyone was harmed and planned to cooperate with U.S. authorities afterward in hopes of receiving leniency — and potentially a green card.

            Alleged plot uncovered by FBI

            Federal prosecutors say Merchant was arrested in July 2024 after outlining a murder-for-hire scheme to a man who was actually an informant working with the FBI. According to court filings, Merchant sketched out a plan on a napkin during a recorded meeting and later attempted to hire two men — who turned out to be undercover federal agents — to carry out the killing.

            He allegedly provided the agents with $5,000 as an initial payment while discussing possible methods for killing a political target.

            Authorities arrested Merchant in Texas as he prepared to leave the United States, before any attack could be carried out.

            Merchant testified that his handler initially asked him to recruit people in the United States willing to assist Iran. The assignment later escalated to finding someone capable of organizing protests, committing theft, laundering money and “maybe have somebody murdered.”

            “He did not tell me exactly who it is, but he told me — he named three people: Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Nikki Haley,” Merchant said in court.

            Prosecutors, however, argue that Merchant continued working on the plan even after U.S. immigration officials questioned him at Houston’s airport in April 2024 about his travel to Iran. Investigators say he researched Trump rally locations, drafted plans for a shooting at a political event and gathered money to pay the supposed hit men.

            In court filings, prosecutors also noted that Merchant never contacted law enforcement before his arrest and did not initially tell FBI agents that he had been acting under duress.

            If convicted, Merchant faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

            Part of broader Iran-linked threats

            The case is one of several alleged plots tied to Iran targeting former Trump administration officials in the years following the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. U.S. officials say Iran has sought revenge for the strike by attempting to target Trump and other senior American figures.

            Another Justice Department case filed in 2024 accused an Afghan national, Farhad Shakeri, of working with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to organize a separate murder-for-hire scheme aimed at Trump and other targets.

            The Iranian government has repeatedly denied involvement in assassination plots against U.S. leaders.

            Authorities have also emphasized that other attempts on Trump’s life during the 2024 campaign — including the shooting at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — were not connected to Iran and were carried out by individuals acting alone.

            Trial unfolds amid rising tensions

            Merchant’s trial comes during a period of heightened conflict between the United States and Iran. The proceedings are unfolding as a widening regional war involving Iran continues, with U.S. prosecutors arguing that the alleged plot reflects Iran’s willingness to conduct covert operations on American soil.

            CNN Reporter Speaks Out Against CEO

              Everything is not well at CNN.

              CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy says staffers in the network’s ranks have lost faith in CEO Chris Licht who has been at the center of controversy in recent weeks.

              “There are a wide range of emotions coursing through the halls of CNN. Some staffers are frustrated. Others are angry. Many are sad about the awful state of affairs that has taken hold of an organization they love,” Darcy wrote in his Reliable Sources media newsletter late Monday. “There is one near-universal sentiment, however, that has been communicated to me: Licht has lost the room.”

              On Monday, Lichet reportedly apologized to CNN staffers during the outlet’s morning editorial call over the negative press attention that has followed the publication of a lengthy profile of him.

              In the piece, published Friday by The Atlantic, Licht was critical of the network’s coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic under the leadership of former top executive Jeff Zucker and discussed his ner vision for the network that focuses on facts rather than sensationalism.

              “In the eyes of so many at CNN, there isn’t anything Licht can do at this point to win over their support,” Darcy wrote. “They’ve hit the wall with him. As one anchor texted me, in reference to Licht’s announcement on Monday that he will relocate his office to a newsroom floor at Hudson Yards: ‘We don’t want his office relocated to the 18th floor, we want it relocated out of the building’.”

              Since taking the reigns at CNN, Licht has made a number of programming changes which say some of the network’s mainstays exit.

              US Army Issues Rare Statement On Trump Controversy At Arlington Cemetery

                President Donald J. Trump is presented with a 10th Combat Aviation Brigade challenge coin following an air assault and gun rain demonstration at Fort Drum, New York, on August 13. The demonstration was part of President Trump's visit to the 10th Mountain Division (LI) to sign the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019, which increases the Army's authorized active-duty end strength by 4,000 enabling us to field critical capabilities in support of the National Defense Strategy. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Thomas Scaggs) 180813-A-TZ475-010

                On Thursday the US Army released a statement defending the “professionalism” of the Arlington National Cemetery employee they believe is being “unfairly attacked” by the Trump campaign.

                The statement comes as fallout over the reported incident continues after Donald Trump visited the site to mark the anniversary of the 2021 Kabul airport terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 13 U.S. military personnel during the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan earlier this week.

                The controversy was first highlighted by an NPR story on Tuesday that reported an altercation between two members of Trump’s campaign staff and an Arlington National Cemetery employee. 

                A cemetery official was trying to prevent filming and photography in an area known as Section 60, a solemn area for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, to ensure the federal law against politicizing cemetery grounds was respected.

                Trump campaign staff slammed the Arlington Cemetery employee as “mentally ill” and a “disgrace” to the “hollowed [sic]” military burial site.

                The statement, issued on Thursday, reads in full:

                Arlington National Cemetery routinely hosts public wreath laying ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for individuals and groups who submit requests in advance. ANC conducts nearly 3,000 such public ceremonies a year without incident.

                Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds. An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside. Consistent with the decorum expected at ANC, this employee acted with professionalism and avoided further disruption. The incident was reported to the JBM-HH police department, but the employee subsequently decided not to press charges. Therefore, the Army considers this matter closed.

                This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked. ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation’s fallen deserve.

                Respectfully,

                U.S. Army Public Affairs

                On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that while the cemetery worker “filed an incident report with the military authorities over the altercation,” they “later declined to press charges” for fear of “retaliation” from Trump’s supporters.

                Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has dropped out of the Republican presidential primary. The mayor suspended his campaign a week after he failed to qualify for the first Republican presidential debate.

                “Running for President of the United States has been one of the greatest honors of my life. This country has given so much to my family and me. The prospect of giving back at the highest levels of public service is a motivator if not a calling,” Suarez said in a statement. “Throughout this process, I have met so many freedom-loving Americans who care deeply about our nation, her people, and its future. It was a privilege to come so close to appearing on stage with the other candidates at last week’s first debate.”

                Suarez was the only Hispanic candidate on either side in the race for the White House.

                Suarez launched his campaign a little over two months ago, attempting to mimic Ronald Reagan’s big tent policy.

                Per CNBC:

                Suarez, a Cuban American, touted his Hispanic heritage and billed himself as a unifier in a politically polarized country. He also ran on his record courting the tech industry to invest in Miami, and leaned into his pro-cryptocurrency views by accepting campaign donations in bitcoin.

                “I will continue to amplify the voices of the Hispanic community – the fastest-growing voting group in our country,” Suarez said in Tuesday’s post.

                “I look forward to keeping in touch with the other Republican presidential candidates and doing what I can to make sure our party puts forward a strong nominee who can inspire and unify the country, renew Americans’ trust in our institutions and in each other, and win,” he wrote.

                Suarez was the third Republican from Florida to run for the 2024 presidential nomination, sharing that trait with Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But while Trump has loosed a relentless barrage of attacks against the governor, the former president rarely, if ever, mentioned the mayor.

                Rosie O’Donnell Blames Trump For Missing Daughter’s Graduation

                  Liberal expatriate Rosie O’Donnell is putting the blame on Trump once again…

                  The Hollywood liberal says she didn’t attend her daughter’s college graduation because of security concerns related to her long-standing feud with President Trump.

                  “My daughter graduated college, and I didn’t go back because the security people said to me they didn’t think it was wise,” the comedian said in an interview on the “No Filter” podcast released this week.

                  “Because I think Trump will use me to rile his base,” O’Donnell, 63, continued.

                  “I’m his nemesis in his mind and to them … to like a third of the country,” the former “The View” co-host and longtime critic of Trump said.

                  The public battle between O’Donnell and Trump began nearly two decades ago after the comic referred to the then-New York real estate developer as a “snake oil salesman.” Trump over the years has ripped O’Donnell, calling her “unattractive,” “mentally sick” and a “loser,” while she’s dubbed him a “criminal con man” and “cheater.”

                  O’Donnell moved from the U.S. to Ireland just days ahead of Trump’s inauguration in January. 

                  “It was not a political statement as much as it was self-preservation,” she said of her exit from the country.

                  In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly threatened to strip O’Donnell of her American citizenship, calling her a “threat to humanity.”

                  O’Donnell, speaking with podcast host Kate Langbroek, described her move to Ireland as “quite a success.”

                  “People say to me, ‘Why do you still talk about [Trump] and the country if you left?’ Well, I never gave up my citizenship, nor would I, although I’m getting my dual citizenship to become an Irish citizen as well, because my grandparents are from Ireland,” the “A League of Their Own” actor said.

                  “I care about my country. I love my country. I am very patriotic, and I knew that I would not be able to deal with what was about to happen, and it certainly has,” O’Donnell said.
