In mid-August 2010 this image of what seems to resemble the popular idea of Jesus appeared inside the layers of sealed glass on my patio door. Naturally occurring and real, I did not create this!"Dear, Lon. I'm a follower of your blog and appreciate what you do for us every day. I have a few things that might interest you or your readers. I don't know if the things that are going on are coincidence, but it's awfully odd.Several family members have seen what we figure is a shadow person. It's always seen in my basement right beside the electrical panel. The people who see it, are always afraid of it and they don't really have to be looking at it to know it's there, they can feel it watching them sleep. It seems that the shadow person cannot or does not leave the area, meaning it doesn't roam the basement, and it doesn't come upstairs. If you would like to hear their accounts, let me know and I'll collect them for you to read. There is a lot of fear around this entity. All of the people who have come in contact with this entity say that it has very unsettling and scary energy.I personally have seen out of the corner of my eye, something crossing my bedroom doorway, on many occasions. It seems to be just a flash of a dark shadow that catches my attention, and it seems to go in a right-to-left direction. I try to ignore it, then it happens again but in the opposite direction. It sounds weird for me to say, but it seems like a big dog, either a Doberman or a German Shepherd. I'm not afraid of it, per se, but I am unsure of the feelings I'm getting from the situation. While it's happening I feel as if I'm being guarded, yet, as if the big dog doesn't want me to leave the room. Like as if it's guarding me and scaring me to stay in my bedroom. Some nights it happens many times, the feelings and the shadowy glimpses from the corner of my eye.There are so many things happening here that you're gonna think I'm making this up, but I'm not, all of this is totally real!We were going to change our patio sliding door because it was starting to get cloudy. We thought there was mold starting to grow inside the thermal layers. Two days after discussing the door replacement and coming to the conclusion that we were going to change it, something weird happened.At first, I thought it was really ridiculous, yet it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. I came up my steps into my kitchen and saw the full patio door with the sunlight shining through it. It was white light because the cloudiness in the patio door softened it, and made it glow. What I saw stopped me in my tracks and I just stood there for a minute looking at it. Stunned. It was a very clear depiction of a popular savior, Jesus (or at least how he's depicted in most images).The image was super clear, I could even see his facial features, cloak, and more.After a while, I decided to show people, and they were always left standing there with their mouths open, saying that it was a trick right and that I probably faked it somehow. The most interesting thing was watching the people's expressions go from "What the F" to "Oh my God!", and then for some reason, fear settles into their faces.I decided to video this image and post it on my YouTube, to share it with others and see what their opinion was about it. I got a few emails about it, and people are somewhat scared about it. People have warned me to "Be careful", some say it is not from God, and some say it is from God. One person asked me to pray for them in front of it, I thought that was so beautiful, and I did pray for them.Personally, I feel a huge attraction to it, especially at sunset or sunrise, it glows with such an emotionally charged, beautiful light. It's stunning and somehow humbling at the same time. It can make you cry on occasion, it's so beautiful.Now, most people say that it seems to be morphing into the Grim Reaper, I can see changes, but the changes are strangely still adding to the image. The condensation hasn't destroyed the image after two years. In fact, the image has dried and seems kind of calcified onto the glass on the inside sealed layers. This is real, we have not faked this in any way. It is open for anyone to investigate!I've included a video link so you can have an idea of what this looks like.Apparition of Jesus image on inside sealed layers of thermal glass inside patio door: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k98tZaonSrwNOTE: Perceived manifestations of deities or religious figures do fascinate me. I received this account and video in November 2010 from a reader, who was the original witness. Lon**********TIME ANOMALIES! TRAVELERS & GLITCHES | LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

After challenging the elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, back in January, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts this week was interviewed by New York Times reporter David Gelles on climate and energy. Roberts’ message: Environmentalists’ obsession with radical climate policies is leaving America’s workers and the global poor behind. “The climate agenda is ending the American dream,” Roberts told Gelles. The Left’s war on affordable, reliable energy sources is an attack on the American Dream—the very foundation that lets hardworking people get ahead and build a future for their families. The American dream is the envy of the world. Emerging economies cannot have their own dreams if they are forced—or bribed—by the West to abandon a fossil fuel economy and use renewables. The world faces a growing energy crisis with severe economic, humanitarian, and security consequences. That’s the direct result of climate policies aimed at dismantling U.S. fossil fuel production while claiming to “save” the climate. Inflation Reduction Act and Energy Poverty These policies are failing and are pushing everyone—on all continents—toward energy poverty. The Inflation Reduction Act provides incentives for renewable energy and electric vehicles, which raise the prices of electricity and transportation. States with higher shares of renewables have higher electricity prices, and EVs are more expensive than other cars.  As Roberts said, Americans may not be able to name the Inflation Reduction Act, “but they sure feel the effects of it.” Environmentalists say that if America eliminated fossil fuels, the world would follow, but that hasn’t happened. While U.S. emissions have declined modestly, global emissions have risen—particularly in China, where more than 300 new coal plants are planned, and a new plant is being built every week. All over the world, people want to move to energy-intensive goods and services, such as heating, air conditioning, washing machines, hot and high-pressure showers, and personal vehicles. The U.S. emits just one-seventh of the world’s CO2. America’s eliminating all fossil fuels “would have an almost nonmeasurable impact” on global temperatures, as Roberts explained, because Western emissions are a small share of the total. Americans were promised that if fossil fuels were phased out, they would be seamlessly replaced by less expensive wind and solar. But that hasn’t happened. America added just 4 gigawatts of utility-scale battery storage last year, while a serious net-zero transition would need at least 200 gigawatts. Instead, electricity prices are rising in states with renewable-portfolio standards. “We have taken this idea of an energy transition and accelerated it so artificially that it is harming people,” Roberts said. At Mercy of Hostile Regimes The North American energy platform makes America into a net energy exporter, with no need to rely on hostile foreign regimes for oil. At the same time as the Biden-Harris administration ended the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, President Joe Biden was begging hostile regimes like those of Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil. The Biden-Harris administration even paused new clean natural gas exports, purposely leaving Europe at the mercy of Russia. While ordinary Americans are facing rising energy costs and unreliable grids due to misguided climate policies, companies such as Microsoft and Amazon are ensuring they have access to stable, affordable energy—such as nuclear power. These corporations can make purchase agreements to safeguard their own energy needs, while funding environmental causes that advocate limited access to affordable and reliable energy sources for the rest of the country. Roberts noted that climate danger is declining, not rising. “There has actually been a reduction in climate-related deaths over the last century by 98%,” he said. Generators fired by fossil fuels enable the creation of sturdy home cement and steel foundations and hurricane-proof poles for power distribution cables. Fossil fuels power irrigation, air conditioning, heating, storm-warning systems, and resilient buildings, which have allowed people to better handle climate risks in better-off parts of the world. The war on fossil fuels endangers that mastery and puts lives at risk. Sentencing Third World to Permanent Poverty According to UNICEF, women and girls around the world spend a mindboggling 200 million hours a day walking to collect water. That burden could be lifted with access to electricity to pump the water where it’s needed. Without electricity, that life-sustaining water is a source of danger itself. More than 500,000 people die every year from preventable diseases caused by contaminated water. Some radical environmentalists are OK with women and girls in the Third World—like these in Mutoko, Zimbabwe—having to walk with buckets to communal sources of water because of a lack of affordable energy from fossil fuels. (Hakan Nural/Anadolu/Getty Images) These needless deaths, nearly unheard of in the developed world, could be prevented with clean water made possible by access to electricity. Current climate policy is hostile to fossil fuels and ignores their immense benefits. These policies catastrophize climate risks that haven’t materialized while ignoring our proven ability to adapt to climate changes. The only rational way to handle climate challenges is through energy abundance, climate mastery, and free-market innovation. America’s real effect on global emissions will come from superior energy alternatives, such as popular non-plug-in hybrid cars—which charge the battery from the operation of the braking and engine systems, not from attacking fossil fuels. “The free market and private citizens are the best conservationists,” Roberts declared in the interview. Artificial Energy Scarcity The Biden-Harris administration is not just dishonest about its climate agenda, it’s promulgating policies that will crush the middle class with hidden costs, Roberts said. Gas taxes, electric vehicle mandates, and crippling EPA regulations are driving up energy prices and creating an artificial energy scarcity. The Biden-Harris administration’s recent EPA power plant rules, if implemented, would force most coal-fired power plants and some natural gas-fired power plants to shut down by 2032 and result in a 30% electricity shortfall by 2032. Inflation Reduction Act subsidies are distorting the energy market, forcing traditional power plants to sit idle during the day while subsidized solar floods the grid. Subsidies for renewables discourage investments in traditional fuels, such as natural gas. Inflation Reduction Act subsidies will eliminate millions of jobs and cost every American family at least $5,000 per year. Ford, Stellantis, and GM are all laying off autoworkers. Politics is full of surprises, but energy security should not be one of them. Energy security is national security. America can’t compete internationally if our domestic development is strangled by the “green energy” movement’s hostility to humans. The environmentalists who want to block minerals mining projects in Minnesota needed for green energy are the same ones who demand more solar panels and electric vehicles. No Buy-In From China The Biden-Harris administration’s policies prevent mining in the U.S. for domestic critical minerals, leaving the U.S. at the mercy of China for essential materials to build renewable energy technologies. China is buying up mines in Africa and Latin America for those critical minerals for its electric vehicles and batteries. China has more than 1,000 coal-fired power plants, while the U.S. has fewer than 250, and China has made clear it won’t sacrifice its economy for Western climate goals. Put simply by Roberts: “We are benefiting the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party at the expense of ordinary Americans.” The West is hollowing out its manufacturing sector by moving energy-intensive production abroad, with an increase in global emissions, rather than a reduction. The Inflation Reduction Act will cost Americans a trillion dollars in tax incentives and credits, propping up industries that have no chance of being internationally competitive. All these interventions neglect the best interests of American citizens. As Roberts told The New York Times’ Gelles, “The Biden-Harris administration has made a grave mistake by imposing the will of elites on the American people.” States with more renewables have higher-priced electricity, without even including the environmental costs of mining for batteries and the devastating human toll of child and slave labor in the Third World. False Scientific ‘Consensus’ Environmentalists also claim a false consensus among scientists on the dire effects of climate change. Contrary to their claims, Roberts said, “Government doesn’t have a monopoly on scientific knowledge.” In reality, the increase in global temperatures is lower than practically all predicted climate-change models. Even the worst-case scenarios are not enough to justify decarbonization. The essence of the scientific spirit is skepticism. Reporters who are not skeptical are not doing their jobs. Heritage Foundation experts have used the government’s own models to show that eliminating U.S. carbon dioxide emissions would reduce global temperatures by less than 0.23°C, an imperceptible change. Roberts said, “We are, as political conservatives, also conservationists of the environment … the United States has some of the cleanest air and water in the world.” The American dream is powered by energy abundance. Any policy that creates energy scarcity is doomed to fail. Energy is the foundation of human flourishing—and fossil fuels have delivered it. We must defend American energy independence and push for realistic solutions to future climate challenges. Those who advocate costly climate agendas cannot be allowed to destroy America’s future.

Holy Holistic Horse Patooties II: 'Daily Show' Called It -- in May

The documentary series Frontline on tax-funded PBS issued its latest quadrennial documentary on the two major candidates running for president: “The Choice 2024: Harris vs. Trump.” Producer Michael Kirk told Forbes magazine he and his team worked "to balance out the screen time for each of their subjects.” Kirk also told Forbes it was "really hard" to fight the impulse to put his "thumb on the scale in some way." Kirk may have passed the first test of balanced screen time, but failed hard on not putting a partisan thumb on the scale. In typical Frontline fashion, the emphasis was heavy on curated clips of interviewees, with only brief off-screen narration by the program’s veteran, Will Lyman. The summary verdict? Trump is a fraud, Harris is a barrier-breaker. Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose interview was spliced into several places, was the sole defender of Donald Trump, while Trump’s many hostile biographers (and to be fair, former staff like former campaign manager Brad Parscale, who admitted Trump’s misplaced braggadocio on COVID hurt Trump) abounded. The dominant litany of hostility included niece Mary Trump, Washington Post reporter and Trump biographer Marc Fisher, liberal hacks like The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer, and ABC reporter Jonathan Karl, who superfluously used Trump Tower as a metaphor for Trump himself. “The rules don't apply to him. Even the number of floors in Trump Tower is essentially a fraud. From the lower floors, he skips a bunch of numbers so that it has more floors than any other building of the same height.” Biographer Fisher repeated his line from his 2020 “Choice” appearance on Trump ruling his military school dorm with an “iron fist.” Whether by circumstance or design, no one from Trump’s conservative-media fan base was granted screen time. By contrast, when picking out voices to flesh out Kamala Harris, Kirk and his interlocutors often relied on sympathetic journalists from both leftist and so-called mainstream publications, especially Jamilah King of Mother Jones and Courtney Subramanian of the Los Angeles Times. Give Frontline one cheer for devoting a few minutes to a subject the media has been eager to avoid: Harris’s romantic and political relationship with “a powerful mentor, one she’s tried not to talk about,” powerful California politician Willie Brown, 30 years her senior. Frontline even included a 1995 Prime Time Live (ABC) clip of Brown and Harris at a social event, with a reporter asking a surely mortified Harris: “Excuse me, are you his daughter?” But even then, Frontline managed to turn the embarrassment into a sexist attack on Harris, courtesy of advisor Ace Smith: “If you're one woman running for office, the rules have been written by men for over 2,000 years, and you will have to work twice as hard, and you will be judged twice as harshly.” Fisher described Trump’s “litany of failure,” including a string of business bankruptcies and stiffing contractors. Meanwhile, Harris was integrating every space she went, as former campaign manager Brian Brokaw said: “She's always been the first person to integrate this little boys' club, as a woman and as a black woman. Being that first has to be incredibly lonely.” The program aired the misleading, truncated version of Trump’s quote on the notorious march in Charlottesville over the removal of Confederate War memorial statues, about there being “very fine people, on both sides.” Trump went on to say that “I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.” After all the history of Harris's left-wing Berkley/San Francisco background, an LA Times reporter insisted “she’s not an ideological person.” Frontline covered Harris’s failed first mission as VP, going to Guatemala to warn Central American migrants not to attempt the journey, then returning to America to make a disastrously defensive interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, which an Atlantic reporter called a “catastrophic viewing experience." But Frontline again rescued Harris with an old friend’s defense: “It's sort of what happens in Washington, especially when you're a woman. If you have a misstep, people hyperfocus on it.” Mother Jones’ King offered extended praise: “She seems to be perfectly positioned for this moment....being this biracial kid in Berkeley, or being the new kid in Montreal, or being the new person on Howard University's campus, or being this lone black woman in the room in San Francisco -- all of those things are coming to a head and proving themselves useful in this moment.” The narrator concluded: “Now, two presidential candidates waging their biggest fights yet. For Donald Trump, one final chance to go out the winner he's always sought to be, to deliver for the millions of Americans who put their faith in him. For Kamala Harris, a sudden chance to break the ultimate barrier, to bring her sense of justice and change to American politics….”

X owner Elon Musk renewed his dire warnings about Big Tech’s approach to artificial intelligence programming.  Musk shared via X his appearance at the May 2024 Viva Technology forum, where he warmed that Big Tech platforms could prioritize “political correctness” over “truth.” On Wednesday, the tech mogul reiterated this warning, affirming that this was still a “major concern.” Musk affirmed in the May video, “The concern I have [and this may seem like a small concern but I think it’s actually a very big issue] is that they are not maximally truth-seeking. They're pandering to political correctness.” Major concern https://t.co/NIib0Xj0r8 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 26, 2024 The discussion primarily revolved around the Google Gemini and Meta AI programming, and the scandals surrounding their AI-generated responses to certain prompts.  Musk recalled an instance of what he described as political correctness. “When Google Gemini came out, one of the questions people asked it… ‘Which is worse? Misgendering Caitlyn Jenner or global thermonuclear warfare?’ And it said, ‘Misgendering Caitlyn Jenner.’”  The Tesla owner then referred to Jenner’s disapproval of the AI warning, adding, “Even Caitlyn Jenner said, ‘Please misgender me; that is way better than nuclear war’”  Musk went on to further explain the “extremely dangerous” nature of this approach to AI technology. “If you’ve got an AI that’s been trained so hard for political correctness and really to make crazy statements like that … I think that's extremely dangerous because AI could conclude, ‘Well, the best way to avoid misgendering would be to destroy all humans.’” Musk offered a solution to this problem with the current approach, proposing, “The safest thing for AI, is to be maximally truth-seeking, even if the truth is unpopular.” Musk then contrasted his X-AI and those of Big Tech: “The AIs are being trained to lie, and I think it’s very dangerous to train superintelligence to be deceptive. With X-AI, our goal is really: we want to be as truth-seeking as possible, even if it is unpopular. That is important. I think extremely important.”  Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.

The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View exude the ultimate hypocrisy in that they decry when others pass judgement on them despite that being the entire premise of their day jobs. Thursday’s show was an example of this as they collectively mocked and picked apart the marriage of former President and First Lady, Donald and Melania Trump, with at least one co-host openly noting that she didn’t want anyone examining her marriage but proceeding to examine theirs any way. Instead of taking the opportunity to hype Vice President Kamala Harris’s gooey interview with MSNBC from the previous evening, they wanted to target the former First Lady for saying nice things about her husband during a Fox News interview from the same night. After playing heavily edited soundbites of Melania saying how she enjoyed Donald’s sense of humor and his DJ ability, Joy Behar, who’s on her second marriage, mocked: “That thing needs a laugh track. It needs a laugh track.” It’s unclear if “that thing” she was referring to was Melania or the montage. Behar also claimed Melania “turned the Rose Garden into a cemetery;” seemingly ignorant that the First Lady had recreated the first Rose Garden.     “I have to say, I was surprised when she mentioned his sense of humor,” chimed in chronically alone moderator Whoopi Goldberg. “But I'm going to leave that alone and ask y'all the question.” Answering Goldberg’s question about if the candidates’ spouses would have an impact in the election, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) touted the work Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband was doing: I think when you hear Doug Emhoff, the vice president's, you know, husband speak about their relationship, I think it's very touching. He is behind her 100 percent. He's very loving. He spoke at the DNC and I think he described a person that people wanted to know more about in person. “I'm reluctant to comment on other people's marriages because I don't want anybody to comment on mine,” she proclaimed before proceeding to comment on the Trumps. According to her, they were a couple of horrible peas in a horrible pod (Click “expand”): But they've been married 19 years and, in my experience, people that have been married that long are not necessarily polar opposites. Right? They have a lot of commonality so I think these two are simpatico. I remember that when Joy interviewed Melania on her show in 2011, she backed her husband's birther claims. (…) She did that even though she isn't -- wasn't originally a citizen of this country. She came up with the defense of the locker room talk, remember that? She infamously wore that coat "Who cares…" (…) And then she said, “who gives a blank about Christmas stuff and decoration?” So, these two are like similar people. Speaking of possibly unhealthy relationships, Hostin has recounted multiple time on show about a terrifying incident she carried out against her then-boyfriend/now-husband. In this incident, they were in an argument over the phone and he hung up on her, she then went to his house and let herself in, she stole all the phones in his house, then threw them on the highway to be run over by traffic.   Mentally unstable Sunny Hostin retells the story of how she got revenge on her then-boyfriend/now-husband by going into his home, stealing all his phones, and throwing them on the highway to be run over. "If you don't have proper phone etiquette you don't need a phone." pic.twitter.com/hkCGUgCWSY — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 24, 2023   Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin suggested that one of the reasons Melania was speaking nicely about her husband was to make up for a failure to pick a female running mate. “I think his biggest strategic regret will be not picking a female running mate who could maybe to soften him with women,” she said. She followed up by insisting that women a monolithic voting bloc. “I think we talk about female voters only in the context of they care about reproductive rights. That’s absolutely the case,” she said. Farah Griffin had once proclaimed on the show that she could forgive her husband for having a drunken one-night stand with a woman as long as he didn’t catch feelings.   Alyssa Farah Griffin says she'd be cool with her husband getting drunk and having sex with someone else and not telling her. "I could forgive, like, a drunken hookup mistake. I could not forgive falling in love with someone else." pic.twitter.com/2jemVtYSon — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 6, 2023   Near the end of the segment, Behar invoked the founder of The View, Barbara Walters and touted how if she had interviewed Melania, she would have intentionally made her feel uncomfortable about her marriage: I just want to say something. Yesterday – Yesterday was Barbara Walters' birthday, I believe. And when I was watching this I thought: if Barbara were here today, she would have said to her, ‘Melania, your husband had sex with a porn star while you were home with a baby. How do you feel about that?’ That's what Barbara would have done! The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: ABC’s The View September 26, 2024 11:03:19 a.m. Eastern (…) MELANIA TRUMP: He likes to be the DJ and its very fun night when he does that. [Cuts back to live] [Laughter] JOY BEHAR: That thing needs a laugh track. It needs a laugh track. WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I have to say, I was surprised when she mentioned his sense of humor. [Laughter] But I'm going to leave that alone and ask y'all the question. Will the candidate's spouse getting involved like she just did -- BEHAR: What? GOLDBERG: That's what it says. [Points to the teleprompter] [Laughter] That's what it says and, you know, this is my job, so I'm reading it. As I said, as she just did, will it make a difference here? [Laughter] SUNNY HOSTIN: I think when you hear Doug Emhoff, the vice president's, you know, husband speak about their relationship, I think it's very touching. He is behind her 100 percent. He's very loving. He spoke at the DNC and I think he described a person that people wanted to know more about in person. I'm reluctant to comment on other people's marriages because I don't want anybody to comment on mine. But they've been married 19 years and, in my experience, people that have been married that long are not necessarily polar opposites. Right? They have a lot of commonality so I think these two are simpatico. I remember that when Joy interviewed Melania on her show in 2011, she backed her husband's birther claims. BEHAR: That's right. SARA HAINES: Really? That was on your show? HOSTIN: That was on her show. She questioned Barack Obama’s citizenship -- BEHAR: A show they took away from me! Go ahead. [Laughter] [Crosstalk] GOLDBERG: At least you weren’t fired. BEHAR: So, I'm not bitter. That's fine. [Crosstalk] HOSTIN: She did that even though she isn't -- wasn't originally a citizen of this country. She came up with the defense of the locker room talk, remember that? She infamously wore that coat "Who cares" and she even said – GOLDBERG: I think that was homage to Joy. “So, what? Who cares?” BEHAR: A version of that. HOSTIN: “I really don't care, do you?” And then she said, “who gives a blank about Christmas stuff and decoration?” So, these two are like similar people. BEHAR: She turned the Rose Garden – She turned the Rose Garden into a cemetery! Did you see that? HOSTIN: She did. ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: So, I think we’re hearing from her for two reasons. Yes, she has a book but also Donald Trump has an issue with women. You don't want to have an issue with half the country. But that's something he’s struggling with. If he loses this election, I think his biggest strategic regret will be not picking a female running mate who could maybe to soften him with women. But here’s  -- BEHAR: Ha. FARAH GRIFFIN: -- something I think about a lot is – I think we talk about female voters only in the context of they care about reproductive rights. That’s absolutely the case, but I think character is big, and this is where he struggles. First, saying – dismissing his language as, you know, the tweets or whatever. I think you've said this, Sara. People have kids. Moms who are home with kids don't want to have to defend why the president of the United States said or did some of the things Donald Trump did. I think that's one of the most – the biggest issues that have him struggling with women. But, I also hear constantly from voters: ‘I can't stand the guy. I think he's a jerk but I felt like I was doing better under him.’ This is where Kamala Harris has an opportunity – BEHAR: You do, feel that way? [Crosstalk] HOSTIN: She hears that. BEHAR: Got a little mixed up there. FARAH GRIFFIN: Like, admitting they openly dislike him. Where Kamala Harris can make some ground is if she can pitch an economic message that convinces people they're going to be better off under her, that's the way to win votes – [Crosstalk]  (…) 11:07:51 a.m. Eastern BEHAR: I just want to say something. Yesterday – Yesterday was Barbara Walters' birthday, I believe. And when I was watching this I thought: if Barbara were here today, she would have said to her, ‘Melania, your husband had sex with a porn star while you were home with a baby. How do you feel about that?’ That's what Barbara would have done! (…)

MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider hammered Google for ensuring that users wade through negative coverage of former President Donald Trump before they could visit his campaign website.  Schneider exposed Google’s flagrant bias during a conversation with Fox Business host David Asman on the Wednesday edition of The Evening Edit. “Google has been burying Trump’s campaign website for well over a year—you couldn’t even find it,” Schneider said, pointing out how easy it was to find the websites of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during the same period. He went on to describe Google’s new type of election interference: “But Google has changed things up a little bit. You can at least find Donald Trump's campaign website and maybe it’s the sixth search result but it's only after Google has flooded the field above his campaign website with links to horrible, very biased news.”  MRC searched for “donald trump presidential race 2024,” but Google did not put Trump’s campaign website at the top of the results. Instead, Google placed a number of articles from publications hostile to the former president such as The New York Times, Politico and Jeff Bezos’s The Washington Post before the campaign website. Trump’s campaign website appeared as the sixth result.  Schneider reminded Asman that these were leftist websites, highlighting that ABC News was “100% for Kamala Harris and Google is highlighting these outlets above Donald Trump's campaign website.” Schneider explained that voters simply trying to learn something about Trump would necessarily have to see “these terrible news stories” before getting to hear from the former president himself.  Asman agreed that Google was biased, arguing that Google also buries any content that isn’t woke in its search results for topics like diversity equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI) or climate change. Google has consistently buried Trump’s campaign website, several MRC studies have noted.  Before Google began to make users run the gauntlet of negative coverage to see Trump’s campaign website, the search engine frequently buried the former president so far down that his campaign website did not appear on the first page of results. Google did this during the Republican National Convention, ahead of a presidential debate with Biden and at other times when Trump was in the news.  Conservatives are under attack! Contact your representatives and demand that the State Department be held to account to adhere to the U.S. Constitution and that Big Tech mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.

The Regime Media has spent the better part of two weeks reducing the situation in Springfield, Ohio to “cats and dogs”, and attempting to do the same in Charleroi, PA. This is done, of course, in order to avoid having to talk about the proliferation of violent transnational gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). The media are largely silent about TdA, with two notable exceptions. Watch as Univision correspondent Fabiola Galindo does what no one else in the Regime Media has apparently been willing to do: talk on-camera to the NYPD Chief of Detectives about TdA: FABIOLA GALINDO: How can the NYPD verify that they are a person who belongs to the Tren de Aragua gang, and not just any common criminal? JOSEPH KENNY, NYPD CHIEF OF DETECTIVES: Unless they self-admit and say “I am a member of TdA” or we look at their social media and they’re throwing up hand signs indicating an affiliation with TdA or through our investigative steps we can find that they’re from TdA, we just don’t blanket people. GALINDO: The (NYPD Chief of Detectives) says that one of the biggest complications in this fight is that they can't ask detainees about their immigration status due to sanctuary city laws. We asked him if they have seen express kidnappings (such as those) carried out by TdA in other countries. KENNY: Not kidnappings. We have seen acts of violence, we have seen people shot. They- they, we had a 15-year-old, you know, migrant shoot at us in Times Square. GALINDO: Authorities do not rule out that the Venezuelan gang is also involved in human trafficking, forcing migrant women into prostitution. Eye-watering stuff were it to air on ABC, CBS, or NBC. But the network evening newscasts have avoided this story like the plague. Univision and Telemundo have also covered Texas’ designation of TdA as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), which has also gone uncovered by their Anglophone counterparts. This is how Univision and Telemundo opened those respective reports: NOTICIERO UNIVISION 9/24/24 6:41 PM ILIA CALDERÓN: Dozens of members of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua were recently arrested in raids in several cities across the country. One of them was captured in El Paso, in the midst of the open war declared by Texas Governor Greg Abbott against that criminal organization, which includes a reward for information that helps combat them. NOTICIAS TELEMUNDO 9/24/24 6:49 PM JULIO VAQUEIRO: The governor of Texas takes another step against the Tren de Aragua and now offers rewards to those who provide information about the members of this gang, which he considers a foreign terrorist organization. In Telemundo’s case, they even brought on a former FBI agent, in order to explain just how dangerous TdA is: DANIEL BRUNNER: Tren de Aragua is a much worse danger than Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13). I know they are in New Jersey, Florida, Texas, California, Colorado...  These reports weren’t flawless. They both-sidesed their stories by bringing on advocates and other migrants that expressed concerns over the rhetoric that might emerge due to TdA. That’s still more than can be said for the grotesquely misnomered “mainstream media”. Univision and Telemundo doing these stories may seem counterintuitive but is perfectly in line with their immigration advocacy agenda. They have to be able to point out the “bad” immigrants in order to credibly advocate mass amnesties for everybody else.  Non-coverage, in the case of the Regime Media, is also in line with their advocacy agenda in favor of Democrats. Reports of criminal migrant gangs marauding across major cities casts the Regime in the most unfavorable light, which is why these stories are Trumpwashed: in other words, suppressed until they can be reported with a Trump-adverse angle. Such as was the case both in Springfield and in Charleroi. Click “expand” to view the full transcripts of the aforementioned reports as aired on their respective newscasts on September 24th and 25th, 2024: NOTICIERO UNIVISION 9/25/24 6:40 PM ILIA CALDERÓN: New York is one of the cities with the largest presence of the Venezuelan gang the Tren de Aragua, implicated in multiple crimes ranging from street assaults to human trafficking. Reports indicate that they are recruiting young people in shelters for recently arrived migrants where, according to reports, they traffic weapons and drugs inside boxes of food. Fabiola Galindo spoke with a police chief about the great challenge of combating this criminal gang.  FABIOLA GALINDO: They are experts in violent drive-by robberies, taking cell phones and jewelry. And the order from the ringleaders is to shoot the police. This is how the Chief of Detectives of the New York Police Department describes the way of operating of the international criminal organization Tren de Aragua. Or TdA. Where do they operate from? Do they have an operatiosn center? JOSEPH KENNY: Unfortunately, they’re operating out of the city-funded shelters.  GALINDO: He claims that within these shelters they recruit teenagers for the bloodthirsty Venezuelan gang.  How can the NYPD verify that they are a person who belongs to the Tren de Aragua gang, and not just any criminal? KENNY: Unless they self-admit and say “I am a member of TdA” or we look at their social media and they’re throwing up hand signs indicating an affiliation with TdA or through our investigative steps we can find that they’re from TdA, we just don’t blanket people. GALINDO: The chief says one of the biggest complications in this fight is that they can't ask detainees about their immigration status, due to sanctuary city laws. We asked him if they have seen express kidnappings (such as those) carried out by Tren de Aragua in other countries. KENNY: Not kidnappings. We have seen acts of violence, we have seen people shot. They- you know, we had a 15-year-old migrant shoot at us in Times Square. GALINDO: Authorities do not rule out that the Venezuelan gang is also involved in human trafficking, forcing migrant women into prostitution. It should be mentioned that crime in general, such as shootings and robberies, have decreased in the Big Apple in the last year, at the same time that more immigrants have arrived. But statistics do very little to calm citizens' spirits. In New York: Fabiola Galindo, Univision. NOTICIERO UNIVISION 9/24/24 6:41 PM ILIA CALDERÓN: Dozens of members of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua were recently arrested in raids in several cities across the country. One of them was captured in El Paso, in the midst of the open war declared by Texas Governor Greg Abbott against that criminal organization, which includes a reward for information that helps combat them. Reyna Rodríguez has more details. REYNA RODRIGUEZ: In his fight to eradicate the Tren de Aragua from Texas, Governor Greg Abbott is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the capture of members of the Venezuelan criminal gang. SGT. ERICK ESTRADA (TEXAS DPS): We're trying to stop them here.  RODRIGUEZ: The criminal group is involved in drug, weapons and human trafficking activities, and several of its members are charged in several states including Texas, Georgia, Florida and New York. Texan authorities fear that they will continue to extend their influence throughout the United States. ESTRADA: The difference from other gangs: they don't have tattoos, they don't identify themselves, like members of other gangs.  RODRIGUEZ: This week, the head of the Border Patrol reported the capture of a member of the feared gang. He added that immigration agents detained 70 members of this gang throughout the country. The announcement comes after Abbott designated the Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization, as part of a state operation to end the gang and its criminal operations. GERMO: It is not right to come to do something bad - if you come here it is to come to work, and do well.  RODRIGUEZ: Republican leaders, including Donald Trump, have linked the presence of this gang to the thousands of Venezuelan migrants who have arrived at the southern border. SERGIO SÁNCHEZ: Under Biden and under Harris they have done absolutely nothing, other than allowing and promoting the entry of more illegals.  RODRÍGUEZ: Some activists fear that these statements incite a dangerous narrative against the immigrant community. CESAR ESPINOZA: We are not against the persecution of gangs, but we are against the way and the rhetoric that Governor Abbott is using to refer to this community. RODRIGUEZ: In McAllen, Texas: Reyna Rodríguez, Univisión. NOTICIAS TELEMUNDO 9/24/24 6:49 PM JULIO VAQUEIRO: The governor of Texas takes another step against the Tren de Aragua and now offers rewards to those who provide information about the members of this gang, which he considers a foreign terrorist organization. Francisco Cuevas prepared the report. FRANCISCO CUEVAS: They call it the Aragua Train, a criminal gang that according to authorities originated in Venezuela and has spread throughout several Latin American countries with activities in drug trafficking, human trafficking, extortion and murders.  DANIEL BRUNNER: Tren de Aragua is a much worse danger than Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13). I know they are in New Jersey, Florida, Texas, California, Colorado...  GREG ABBOTT: Texas is aggressively... CUEVAS: The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has already declared war on the criminal group, raising its danger to the maximum level. Now it is offering $5,000 rewards for anyone who gives information about its members, ensuring that the Aragua Train has spread terror and massacres in every country where it has been, and that Texas will not allow them to settle in this state. Many are applauding the governor's action. CARMEN MARIA MONTIEL: And at the moment he declares this group a terrorist group, which it is, it is carrying out its work and for which it was elected, to defend Texans. CUEVAS: The governor also announced a state operation against the Venezuelan gang, and the formation of a special team to identify and arrest its members accused of terrorizing people and also tarnishing the name of the Venezuelan community in this country. ALEXANDER VALDEZ: Not only because they damage the image of Venezuelans, but because they are harming good people. CUEVAS: Some of its alleged members have been arrested for robberies and assaults on police officers in New York. They are also accused of murder, like the case in Florida of Julio César Hernández and Yorvin Salazar, alleged members formally accused of the murder of a retired police officer. BRUNNER: It's a problem because this is a very violent, very organized group. CUEVAS: All clues can be sent through an online form and according to the authorities, the information will be completely confidential. In San Antonio, Texas: Francisco Cuevas, Noticias Telemundo.

Founder of OutKick Clay Travis may never be allowed back on CNN. As Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” says, it’s because he “said something true and it was very upsetting to the host.” “I’m a First Amendment absolutist,” Travis had said, before following up with, “I believe in only two things completely: the First Amendment and boobs.” “Hold on, hold on, I just want to make sure I heard you correctly as a woman anchoring the show — did you just say, what did you just say?” the host, Brooke Baldwin asked, wrinkling her face in disgust. “Boobs,” Travis confirmed. “The two things that have never let me down in this entire country’s history. The First Amendment and boobs. So those are the only two things I believe in absolutely in the country.” While Baldwin was not pleased with Travis, years later, the sports fanatic is still pleased with himself. “It was emblematic of how you can never apologize to an inauthentic emotion. I’ve been married 20 years, trust me. I’ve apologized plenty,” Travis tells Rubin. “But not for something that is manufactured outrage.” Want more from Dave Rubin?To enjoy more honest conversations, free speech, and big ideas with Dave Rubin, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
