AE and Politics Today

And what would that be? Used to be NPR here, but the past decade they have plunged headlong into the liberal side.

The channel is called "talk tv" and it's just what'she needed after a skin full of gloom. Mike Graham is my favourite on there, real people who come from the right angle in more than one sense of the word, too much of it though and I can get sick of the one side of the story brigade factor.

Mike Graham and others should be on youtube if you fancy a gander.

If I watch tv news I just pick the one with the hottest presenter. What are we do to without Robin Meade ?

Not bad a time all. Can't remember her name but the blonde who hosted a Trump/Clinton Mexican stand off was a cracker. Trump insulted her somehow and she gave a look I'd pay for before and after sex.


Thinking about paying for an experience of a lifetime ride this Christmas. See if my heart can take two on maybe but only if Prancer promises not to stamp on my toes this year.

I have no single source of news. The BBC and NY Post are favorites. NPR is very left leaning but I generally like their lineup - fell out of listening as I am no longer trapped in my service truck all day. Haven't made the leap to streaming or podcasting with them yet for no particular reason. Content also depends on the station. WNYC is very professional and entertaining even if I don't agree with their politics. WAMC out of Schenectady is vile, There is one overbearing individual that has tainted that entire station. Click.

Fell asleep on the couch the other evening and the wifey had Fox news on. I woke up with a need to take red and green pills because, you know, you couldn't possibly enough eat fruits and vegetables. Also, the pain we are all apparently in can be cured with another pill they hammer endlessly. Where is Sebastian Gorka right now? We all should be doing whatever it is he is doing. Right now, this instant. He is tall and has a British accent therefore whatever it is he's selling must be legit. Most people don't know this but Gorka - and I love saying Gooooooooooorka - and Larry Elder are actually the same person. Makeup and lighting - who would've thunk it? Oh, and I need to call a toll free number to verify my medicare benefits now now now now now. Right now. And I have been poisoned by the waters at Camp Lejeune even though I've never been there or had anything whatsoever to do with it.

Gawd, talk about programming ................

Gawd, talk about programming ................

Just can't watch the BBC any longer, it's known as the bias broadcasting cooperation to some here. Sky news I find to be more neutral as sides go and is the main news channel for me.

Tucker on Fox is one of my favourites from across the pond and have followed him on youtube for some years now.

Looked up Gorka ( this word is a term here, a person who can't stop eying up women ). Never heard of him before and I'm sure I'm not missing much.

Algezera is one I sometimes watch, not sure why as they do concentrate on individual plight, much more genuine woe than some single mum in social housing staring distantly into a log fire and surrounded with tech kids and toys and calling the end as nigh, it's foreign to me and the wood burning is used as a tool " look I'm forced in to damaging the environment because I'm so brassic i can't turn the heating on ". Most don't even attempt to tog up for the report and the kids are in t's and shorts, the elderly excluded from any judgment or comparison as well they earnt it.

Joe Biden's non-binary drag queen nuclear waste guru Sam Brinton, 34, is charged with THEFT after they were 'caught on camera stealing a bag' from Minneapolis Airport​

Sam Brinton, 34, (pictured left and right) is accused of stealing a suitcase from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (inset). Brinton, who was president Joe Biden's pick as the Department of Energy's deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition, was caught on surveillance cameras taking a blue bag off the baggage claim after flying in from Washington. A woman reported the bag missing later that day and Brinton was identified. Brinton claimed to have not taken the bag but then changed their mind admitting to removing the case adding it was by mistake because they were tired. The 34-year-old scientist, who was the first non-binary person to accept a position in federal government leadership, faces five years in jail, a $10,000 fine, or both if found guilty. They have not been at work for at least a month with Kim Petry, the acting deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel, standing in.

Nonbinary Biden official Sam Brinton accused of grand larceny amid separate theft charges​

The nonbinary Biden administration official who oversees nuclear waste policy was charged with grand larceny in Nevada, the second time they have been accused of theft in three months, according to state court records.

Samuel Brinton, the Department of Energy's (DOE) deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition, was charged Thursday with grand larceny of an item valued between $1,200 and $5,000 by Las Vegas prosecutors. Records showed that an arrest warrant was issued for Brinton, one of the few federal officials to ever identify as nonbinary.

Few other details were provided in the records and the Clark County, Nevada, district attorney's office declined to comment on the matter.

Brinton is scheduled to appear at a court hearing in Minnesota state court later this month to face similar charges from a September incident at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport (MSP). Police accused Brinton of stealing a suitcase worth $2,325 from an MSP baggage carousel Sept. 16, according to a criminal complaint filed Oct. 26.

I liked the Al Jazeera English app but now it's been 'improved' and for some reason I never bother to check the website, I use news apps out of habit. The NY Post is trash but as you may have seen, will occasionally come across a gem. Like the National Enquirer taking down Gary Hart even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.

President Joe Biden was led off a stage by a young girl after he delivered a speech Monday at a Toys for Tots event with the United States Marine Corps Reserve in Arlington, Virginia.

"Which way do we go?" Biden asked a young girl as she took his hand and walked him in the right direction.

FBI 'Deep State' team of 80 people regularly handed Twitter lists of people to BAN - including actor Billy Baldwin and satire accounts, new trove of Musk's 'Twitter Files' reveal ​

A new trove of internal communications from Twitter suggests that the FBI maintained persistent contact with company employees in recent years, frequently proposing user bans, including for actor Billy Baldwin and what appear to be satire accounts. 'Twitter's contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary,' argued journalist Matt Taibbi, who shared the documents in a Twitter thread on Friday afternoon. 'Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth,' claimed Taibbi.

Joe Biden roasted for busting out ‘old school, anti-Irish’ slur, claiming he’s Italian: ‘He needs help’​

President Joe Biden’s critics on Twitter blasted him for a couple of awkward ethnic-related comments he made during a recent U.S. veterans town hall address in Delaware.

During the Friday speech, Biden claimed that despite him being Irish, "he’s not stupid" and insisted he’s got "a little Italian" in him because his wife’s family is Italian. Though many internet users panned the comments as being in poor taste.

He joked, "I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid. I married Dominic Giacoppa’s daughter so, you know, I got a little Italian in me now."

A clip of the statement went viral on Twitter, and several prominent users weighed in, suggesting the president was repeating anti-Irish sentiment, and on top of that, getting his wife’s genealogy wrong.

FBI paid Twitter $3.5M to do its bidding: Taxpayers' money was used to suppress Hunter Biden laptop story and process agency's requests to silence GOP voices - as fury mounts over secret state censorship of the American people​

The FBI handed nearly $3.5 million of taxpayers money to Twitter in order for the social media giant to continue to do its bidding. In an email from February 2021, an unnamed Twitter employee estimated that the company's Safety, Content & Law Enforcement had 'collected $3,415,323' in less than two years from the FBI for 'law-enforcement related projects.' The staffer was emailing then-general counsel Sean Edgett and then-deputy general counsel Jim Baker in the damning message. The subject of the email read: 'Run the business - We made money!' It was Baker, a former FBI lawyer, who met with the feds to discuss suppressing and discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop story, a month before the bombshell New York Post article was published, despite the agency knowing legitimacy of the reporting.When Baker wanted the story squashed after it was published, Twitter's safety moderator Yoel Roth said that he wasn't sure if the story violated any of the company's policies but added: 'This feels a lot like a somewhat subtle leak operation.' An investigation into Twitter's behavior around the 2020 presidential election by the incoming Republican majority in the house has been promised with Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy telling Fox News this week: 'This is going to be a much bigger situation than people realize.'

National Enquirer Publishes Photo, Story on Hart, Rice

It's one of my pet hates about modern life, I don't mind what these people do in their spare time as I'm sure many of us have a closet with a few things in that we don't wish to make public. Saw a guy last night on Piers Morgan who was so direct I was shocked by the truth he spoke, apologies as I was so gob smacked about his content I didn't get his name. Spoke about the UK past and present and is right, it's dangerous here to go out at night in some areas wearing anything expensive. My nephew and his mates were robbed at knife point not long back.



I used to watch RT for a different perspective on things but for obvious reasons has been taken down here, which I don't agree with entirely.

I must be old school as I don't use apps and don't have an iPhone or equivalent but that I feel will be changing next year maybe. I search everything I look at through the normal engine and have always somehow rejected things that they want me to do as a matter of aging scepticism, trust issues basically.

How friends and family tut at me.

Sickening puke fest.

I think the western world is in great peril amid this virus like woke infection.

We have to get back to the days where everyone has a say and not just those you wish to hear, balance is a proven necessity for a healthy existence both singularly collectively.

Andrew Tate is the guy on Piers Morgan last night and the straightest talker I've ever heard. Definitely a misogynist, partly because he is Islamic I guess but he did point out that a lot of us would appreciate the degree of safety and respect shown among the countries who follow his faith.

Biden admin is funding foreign reporters to write climate stories, emails show​

Americans may be shocked to see taxes used to 'promote climate alarmism around the world'

The Biden administration funded a foreign "reporting tour" last year, sponsoring several overseas journalists who cover climate change, internal State Department emails showed.

In March 2021, high-ranking State Department officials discussed a proposal to sponsor foreign journalists to "have experiences that educate them on reporting on climate change," according to the emails obtained by Protect the Public's Trust (PPT) and shared with Fox News Digital. In the email exchange, officials from Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC) John Kerry's office and the Office of Global Change (EGC) praised the program as a "fantastic" and "great" idea.

"Jean Foschetti at the FPC mentioned this to me about a week ago," a State Department official whose name was redacted wrote in an email on March 23, 2021. "Sounds like a great reporting tour idea; basically, the FPC will sponsor multiple foreign reporters to have experiences that educate them on reporting on climate change. Can EGC and SPEC take a look and clear?"

"Thanks for sharing … I think this sounds like a fantastic FPC (virtual) reporting tour and I'm looking forward to the stories that will come out of this," a second redacted official responded one day later.
