Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews just turned 78‚ and when they let him loose on Morning Joe now‚ you can't help but think how much he resembles Joe Biden. He's bitterly anti-Trump‚ he rants and he rambles‚ and you have no idea when or where he's going to end his remarks. But Mika Brzezinski enabled him on Tuesday‚ noting that polls of the Iowa voters showed that about two-thirds would still support him if he's convicted by (Democrat) prosecutors‚ Matthews put on his crabby face. The thrill up his leg was gone.  MATTHEWS: Well‚ I hope the people that are voting for Trump in these primaries enjoy the tyranny that may be coming to this country‚ because the tyranny is what it’s about. When 62 percent of the people say they don’t care if he’s been convicted‚ or people he pardons were committing crimes – and felonies‚ in the case of 200 people who raided the Capitol on January 6. That’s 200 people who have pleaded guilty to felonies! What they have to think about is their own rights. Women’s rights‚ of course. He doesn’t believe in women’s rights. He believes women needed to be punished. That’s what he told me. He wants the punishment. Where is he on women’s rights? Where is he on any rights? I think about Obamacare‚ the 20 some million people that have Obamacare now‚ he's determined to get rid of it.  He wants to have a ten percent tax on the consumers for buying goods from overseas. He’s the only guy talking about tax increases. On @Morning_Joe‚ @HardballChris Matthews goes on rant about “tyranny” Trump will bring to presidency: “I hope the people that are voting for Trump in these primaries enjoy the tyranny that may be coming to this country....He believes women need to be punished.” pic.twitter.com/oMAKAhROzf — Brent Baker 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 (@BrentHBaker) January 16‚ 2024 He went from tariffs to riots. This tirade kept coming‚ and the Morning Joe crew were just letting it unfold:  MATTHEWS: There are a lot of people who think it’s great‚ he had a lot of fun there on January 6‚ He enjoyed himself sitting in the little room next to the Oval Office watching crimes being committed‚ watching police officers being assaulted‚ people ramming their way through the Speaker’s lobby. That's fun‚ but they're not the victims yet. And that’s what they have to think about. Tyranny has victims. And the people out there who think what a yuk-yuk it is that this guy can get away with murder. They think it’s funny‚ because it's not affecting them yet. And when the people starting counting up‚ what’s a tyrant gonna be like? Is he gonna be nice to me? I don’t think so. And I think Donald Trump is not the nicest guy in the world. Let’s face it. He’s not the nicest guy in the world. And why people think it's great that he's backing up criminals and he's committing crimes. And how many crimes did he commit himself? And by the way E. Jean Carroll – if it’s your daughter‚ your sister‚ or you --  are you rooting for him in that case? Are you saying he's innocent? Innocent? He's not innocent. He's guilty. Honk if you remember Chris Matthews ever caring if Bill Clinton was guilty of sexual assault. 

As is often the case‚ the network newscasts will tout a narrative that is friendly to Democrats in power. In this case‚ that would be the Biden administration. But as is also often the case‚ the networks will shut down or suppress new information that will contravene that narrative. Such is the case with the ongoing battle between Texas and the Biden Department of Homeland Security over a section of border recently taken over by Texas. Over the weekend‚ the story coming out of the border‚ fabricated by DHS‚ was that the Texas National Guard had refused dock access to the Border Patrol for purposes of conducting a rescue along the Rio Grande‚ which resulted in the death of three migrants. As an exemplar of that coverage‚ here’s how CBS’s Norah O’Donnell framed the story on Monday’s CBS Evening News: NORAH O’DONNELL: Tonight‚ the crisis at the southern border has turned into a turf war between Texas and the White House. The Biden administration says three migrants drowned after Texas National Guard members physically blocked federal border agents from attempting to rescue them.  From a narrative standpoint‚ it’s not much of a heavy lift to go from there to say‚ reductio ad absurdum‚ “Greg Abbott killed migrants”. And that’s certainly the way this thing was being set up.  Sunday’s ABC World News Tonight offered: LINSEY DAVIS: Shocking allegations. Homeland Security claims the Texas National Guard blocked federal agents from trying to rescue three migrants who drowned in the Rio Grande. One congressman says Texas authorities have blood on their hands. On Sunday’s NBC Nightly News‚ we got: KATE SNOW: A migrant woman and two children died trying to cross the Rio Grande into Texas this weekend. The U.S. Border patrol said their agents wanted to save the three people‚ but Texas authorities would not let them through.  Slightly less ham-fisted‚ but equally supportive of the narrative. But then‚ an explosive filing by Biden’s own Department of Justice‚ as reported by Fox’s Bill Melugin‚ which says‚ in part: On January 12‚ 2024‚ at approximately 9:00 p.m.‚ Mexican officials advised Border Patrol of two migrants in distress on the U.S. side of the river in the area near the Shelby Park boat ramp. App.‚ infra‚ 2a.  Mexican officials also informed Border Patrol that three migrants -- one woman and two children -- has drowned at approximately 8:00 p.m. in the same area. So the migrants were dead for a full hour BEFORE Border Patrol even requested access to the Shelby Park boat ramp. This is a major deviation from what the networks reported‚ and yet NONE OF THEM filed corrective items. Melugin tweeted on the DoJ filing before noon on the East Coast‚ so there was certainly enough time to work these corrections into the evening’s newscasts. But the narrative was already in the wind. No correction was to be made. In fact‚ this is reminiscent of another Biden administration hoax involving the Border Patrol: the horse-whipping hoax- which turned out to be totally false. Not content with merely carrying Biden’s water‚ the media are also hiding inconvenient corrections.  No crying over a lack of trust in the institutions‚ guys. You did this to yourselves.

In a surprising twist of political theater‚ Senator Ted Cruz has released a letter officially endorsing former President Donald Trump for president‚ but the endorsement comes with an unexpected layer of mystery. The letter‚ laden with peculiar symbols and cryptic code‚ has left political analysts scratching their heads and amateur sleuths diving into the depths of conspiracy theories. The letter‚ delivered to the public through a carrier pigeon named “Liberty‚” begins with a seemingly straightforward endorsement of Trump’s potential return to the presidential race. However‚ it takes a sharp turn into the enigmatic as Cruz delves into what appears to be a love letter to his political counterpart. “Dear Donald‚” Cruz’s letter begins‚ “your golden locks and tweets of wisdom have enchanted the nation. In the labyrinth of politics‚ your voice echoes like a siren’s call‚ drawing us toward the shores of ‘Make America Great Again.'” The unusual prose continues‚ weaving a tapestry of political intrigue‚ conspiracy‚ and what some suspect might be a secret map to Cruz’s favorite barbecue joint in Texas. A section of the letter reads‚ “As the stars align‚ I see the path to victory. The key lies hidden in the heart of the brisket‚ just beyond the land of jalapeño poppers.” As news outlets clamor to interpret the hidden messages‚ amateur codebreakers have emerged on social media‚ attempting to decipher the true meaning behind Cruz’s endorsement. Some speculate it’s an elaborate invitation to a clandestine barbecue summit‚ while others believe it’s a coded plea for Trump to share his haircare routine. Political analysts are divided on whether Cruz’s letter is a stroke of genius or an elaborate prank designed to keep pundits busy during the political offseason. One thing is certain: Ted Cruz has managed to turn a routine endorsement into a political scavenger hunt‚ leaving the nation eagerly awaiting the next installment in this cryptic saga.
