The leftwing media meltdown over President-elect Trump’s cabinet picks intensified this week with the news that he would appoint Kash Patel, the former Chief of Staff to the Defense Secretary, to replace sitting FBI Director Chris Wray. Journalists applied all the same lazy, nebulous labels to Patel that they had to other nominees, including “loyalist,” “disruptor,” “unqualified,” and the like. But their panic over him specifically goes far further than that. Rather, they appear genuinely afraid that Patel might actually do what he’s said he would: aggressively root out and prosecute corruption at the hitherto unaccountable agency. Considering the relationships that these networks have with career intelligence agency bureaucrats, it’s no wonder as to why. Over the last decade and a half, channels like CNN and MSNBC have hired a slew of former Obama-era Justice Department officials, many of whom were integral members of what someone like Patel would call the “deep state.”     For nearly a decade now, CNN has retained disgraced former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper as a paid contributor, as well as former Deputy FBI Director Andy McCabe, among others. Meanwhile, MSNBC has extended cozy contributor contracts to the likes of former CIA Director John Brennan. Various shows on that network also make a habit of inviting on guests like Peter Stork and Andrew Weissman. These are the sort of people (and in some cases, the actual people) who signed the bogus “51 former intelligence officials say Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation” letter. It’s all very swampy. Since Saturday, these same alphabet agency denizens-turned-propagandists have been all over CNN and MSNBC, issuing dire warnings about how very “dangerous” Kash Patel’s nomination is for America. Unfortunately for these swamp creatures and their media enablers, this is the exact kind of behavior that got Trump elected to begin with. When all the wrong people are railing this aggressively against a Presidential appointment, it starts to look like a ringing endorsement not just of Patel himself, but of the idea that perhaps his stated mission has some merit.

The U.S. Secret Service said one agent was involved in a shooting outside of the home of Janet Yellen, the secretary of the treasury, overnight. The agent assigned to Yellen's home in Washington, D.C., confronted several people who were trying to open doors of cars in Yellen's neighborhood at about 1:30 a.m., according to a statement from Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi. 'There is currently no evidence to indicate anyone was struck.' "The agent discharged their service weapon, but there is currently no evidence to indicate anyone was struck," he added. "The suspects fled the scene in the sedan, and a lookout was issued to local law enforcement."He said there was no threat to Yellen during the incident, and she was not harmed. "The officer involved shooting incident is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department Internal Affairs Division's Force Investigations Team, which investigates all law enforcement officer involved shootings in the District of Columbia," he concluded. Yellen will be replaced by hedge fund manager Scott Bessent if he is approved by the Senate. Yellen has been criticized for inflation during her time at the treasury. In March, she said she regretted claiming that inflation would be "transitory" after it continued to linger and damage Americans' budgets. Bessent has been criticized by some on the right for his ties to billionaire leftist George Soros, but his supporters praise Bessent as a defender of the free market and opponent of deficit spending.Like Blaze News?

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded is almost here, and despite meaning to be a mid-season top-up of content, it is absolutely crammed. There are new multiplayer maps and weapons, events, a Christmas makeover for Nuketown, and much more, but the headline feature is absolutely Citadelle des Morts - Black Ops 6’s third round-based Zombies map. From teasers, it already sounded like an epic new Zombies experience, but after seeing everything that’s been revealed about it in today’s big Season 1 Reloaded info dump, I think it may end up being even better than Terminus and Liberty Falls.

Four years ago, British game dev studio Kinetic Games put out a phenomenal spooky title that brought haunted houses to the comfort of your home.

What would the world be like without the beauty of music to drown out the noise? A world without rich gaming OSTs, GDQ Kingdom Hearts speedrun singalongs, and ABBA. Quite frankly, it's not worth thinking about. Or so you might think.
