While some journalists call for the October Revolution after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered, The Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng quipped on Comedy Central on Thursday that just about everyone is a suspect because everyone in America hates their healthcare plan and has a gun. Chieng recalled how the suspect engraved certain words into the bullets used to kill Thompson, “And now they're trying to interpret what ‘Deny, defend, and depose’ means. And it looks like it's either a criticism of the health insurance industry, or this guy was just trying to solve the Wordle on his bullets. Honestly, I think all bullets should say stuff on them. I mean, how else are we going to get Americans to read again, right? You should load up a machine gun with A Tale of Two Cities written in it. ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.’”     “Deny, defend, and depose” is almost certainly a play on a 2010 anti-insurance industry book by Jay Feinman entitled Delay, Deny, Defend that claims insurance companies “have an incentive to chisel their customers in order to increase profits.” As for who the suspect might be, Chieng declared, “Now the cops just need to narrow down their list of suspects to anyone in America who hates their healthcare plan and has access to guns. Should be solved in no time.” A 2023 survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 81 percent of Americans rate their insurance rating as either “good” or “excellent,” including 80 percent of those who get their insurance through their employer. A 2024 study from the Pacific Research Institute found 91 percent of Americans are satisfied with their plan. Americans simply aren’t eager to do away with private health insurance. Meanwhile, government-run health care agencies deny healthcare coverage too. In America, we have Medicare, but internationally the Canadian system has a doctor shortage while the Brits ration care all the time in the name of saving money. Here is a transcript for the December 5 show: Comedy Central The Daily Show 12/5/2024 11:04 PM ET RONNY CHIENG: Would you train a mouse to write to write on it with some kind of mouse crayon? I mean, who gives a [bleep] how he wrote it! It's not important how he wrote it, what's important is that he wrote it.  Okay, this guy knows that there are so many bullet casings on the streets of New York, and he wanted to make sure we knew which ones were his, right? And now, yeah, I don't know if we should be applauding that.  And now they're trying to interpret what "Deny, defend, and depose" means. And it looks like it's either a criticism of the health insurance industry, or this guy was just trying to solve the Wordle on his bullets. Honestly, I think all bullets should say stuff on them. I mean, how else are we going to get Americans to read again, right?  You should load up a machine gun with A Tale of Two Cities written in it. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." But now the cops just need to narrow down their list of suspects to anyone in America who hates their healthcare plan and has access to guns. Should be solved in no time. 

MRC Free Speech America has caught Google rigging search results for President-elect Donald Trump’s most prominent nominees before, and the search engine is at it yet again.  On Nov. 26 and Dec. 3, the MRC found an absurd ratio in favor of leftist and legacy media articles versus articles considered “right” or “lean right” by media ratings firm AllSides. On both dates, MRC researchers searched Google news tab and general search for the names of a number of top Trump nominations, and compared the news articles in the search results against the AllSides media bias list. For the Nov. 26 general search, there were 20 times more left-wing articles. On Dec. 3, U.S.-based "right" or "lean right" articles were also egregiously outnumbered as there were 18 times more leftist articles.  Despite making so little space for “right” or “lean right” articles, Google provided users with propaganda from Inside Climate News for both the Nov. 26 and Dec. 3 general search results. The Dec. 3 results included yet another climate change cult publication, The Daily Climate. Furthermore, Google’s Dec. 3 general search results did feature tiny anti-Israel publications such as the ScheerPost and MintPress News at the top of potential Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s results. Mintpress News called him the “most dangerous man alive,” while ScheerPost viciously attacked Rubio for being pro-Israel.    Google’s news tab results weren’t much better. When MRC researchers did searches for Trump’s nominees using Google’s news tab, Google displayed only 21 right-of-center U.S.-based news articles out of 200 news tab search results for the 20 nominees searched Nov. 26. And on Dec. 3, Google only displayed 18 right-of-center U.S.-based news articles out of 220 first-page results for the 22 nominees. Google’s news tab search bias went beyond just stacking the deck with leftist and legacy media results such as MSNBC, The New Yorker, The Daily Beast, CNN, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, The Associated Press, The New Republic, Teen Vogue, Newsweek, NPR and The New York Times in both the Nov. 26 and Dec. 3 searches.  Eleven of the 20 nominees were subjected to vicious headlines on Nov. 26, to say nothing of the content awaiting users who click on any of the above publications. For example, Google once again gave pride of placement to a vicious attack on Trump’s nominee for Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK Jr.). After proudly displaying an article attacking RFK Jr. and his wife that urged her to divorce him last month, Google kicked off its “Top Stories” section in a search for RFK Jr. with an outrageous article by The Daily Beast. The wildly misleading headline suggested that the potential HHS Secretary endorses the use of heroin.  The Dec. 3 news tab search results were also littered with personal attacks in searches for Kennedy and at least 9 other Trump nominees. Google prominently featured hit pieces, including two by leftist rags Rolling Stone and MSNBC with headlines targeting the integrity of Kash Patel, Trump’s pick for FBI Director, and other nominees. And while Rolling Stone accused Patel of “MAGA Money Grabs,” MSNBC included Patel in an article headlined “Several Trump personnel picks have backgrounds in snake oil sales.”  Google’s news tab also stuffed the Dec. 3 news results with attacks and negative news coverage of Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Defense. The platform even displayed a hit piece by the prestigious publication Teen Vogue on the first page of news search results for Linda McMahon, Trump’s appointment to lead the Department of Education.  In the case of Russell Vought, Trump’s chosen Office of Management Budget Director, Google stacked the news tab search results chock-full of leftist news like MSNBC, PBS and the Soros-funded leftist attack dog ProPublica. Soros-funded ProPublica went after Vought with this headline: “‘Put Them in Trauma:’ Inside a Key MAGA Leader’s Plans for a New Trump Agenda.” Additionally, these results sought to drive a wedge between Vought and Trump over Project 2025, a tactic also used against Trump’s choice for FCC Chair Brendan Carr. Google even featured a ludicrous article by The Hill, accusing Carr — one of MRC’s first Free Speech Award recipients — of threatening free speech. Potential Secretary of Energy Christopher Wright was included in all searches, but Google consistently failed to identify him.  This study is the second time that MRC researchers have exposed Google’s biased presentation of Trump nominees. In a Nov. 21 study, Google provided news results without a single U.S.-based right-of-center article for 10 out of 14 nominees. The MRC hasn’t just caught Google rigging results for Trump’s nominees. Google relentlessly interfered in the 2024 presidential election as well. A Sept. 6 MRC Free Speech America study demonstrated that Google required users to wade through a deluge of leftist news articles if they wanted to see Trump’s campaign website. MRC researchers documented election interference on Oct. 1, Oct. 9, Oct. 15, Oct. 22, Oct. 30 and Election Day. An Oct. 9 study found that Google buried the first U.S.-based right-of-center result—a Fox News video—for users searching “donald trump presidential race 2024” on page 23. And nowhere on any of the 26 pages of results did a U.S.-based right-of-center news article appear.  Methodology  For this report, MRC Free Speech America analyzed the Nov. 26 and Dec. 3 Google Search and News tab results for the first and last names of a number of men and women nominated for cabinet-level positions in the second Trump administration as well as Trump’s choice for FCC chairman and Trump’s choice for FBI director. MRC Free Speech America created an algorithm to automate this process in a clean environment. A “clean environment” allows for organic search to populate results without the influence of prior search history and tracking cookies. MRC Free Speech America also utilized the AllSides media bias chart as a gauge to determine which outlets are “right” and “lean right.” AllSides notes it has a “patent on rating bias and use[s] multiple methodologies,” not a homogenous group or an algorithm. “Our methods are: Blind Bias Surveys of Americans, Editorial Reviews by a multipartisan team of panelists who look for common types of media bias, independent reviews, and third-party data.” Readers should be aware that this report only uses the AllSides list to analyze ratings of outlets considered by AllSides to be “right” and “lean right” and does not necessarily reflect MRC’s characterizations of these outlets. Nominees searched on Nov. 26 include: Pamela Bondi, Robert Kennedy Jr., Christopher Wright, Peter Hegseth, Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio, Douglas Collins, Sean Duffy, Douglas Burgum,  Lori Chávez-DeRemer,  Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, Brooke Rollins, Linda McMahon, Scott Turner,  Lee Zeldin, Tulsi Gabbard, Russell Vought, Susan Wiles, Elise Stefanik and Brendan Carr.

Donald Trump may have won the White House, but children are still in danger of falling victim to dangerous leftist ideology — which is why a former employee of a pediatric “transgender” center is blowing the whistle on the shocking practices occurring behind closed doors. Executive director of the LGBT Courage Coalition Jamie Reed spent four years at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and what she saw is horrifying to say the least. “Puberty, in my opinion now, is a human right,” Reed tells Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” regarding puberty blockers. “The body requires these steps, and the brain requires the pruning and the slowness of how puberty engages.” “I’ve even seen cases now in clinical studies where there are young people who are asking endocrinologists to never be put on sex hormones and ask to remain in a prepubertal status ongoing, and I’ve even seen ethical papers argue on the other side that this is their right and they should be able to do this. The damage to the body is just immense,” she adds. “I think a lot of people don’t realize that puberty is necessary for intellectual maturation, your ability to be able to understand consequences,” Stuckey comments, noting that it feels as if there’s “nefarious motivation” behind this. “What kind of people would want to prolong basically eternal adolescence in young people and prevent them from being able to make wise choices and to keep their body in a state of prepubescent development? That’s very disturbing to me,” she says. However, while puberty blockers create what Stuckey calls “eternal adolescence,” Reed notes that they’re simultaneously putting the children in charge. “In the Center, so much of the decision-making process was the endocrinologists were not making the decisions. They were saying that it was the mental health providers. The mental health providers were not making the decisions. They would basically say if the child says they’re trans, then they’re trans,” Reed explains. Despite Reed’s current understanding of how damaging “gender-affirming care” is to children, she admits it took her a long time to “see that the kids were falling apart.” “It took me a long time to get to the position where I knew what I was doing was wrong,” she says. “We were harming these children. I mean, we started to see true medical harms.” Reed recalls a patient they had put on testosterone at a young age who then engaged in her first sexual experience. “Her vagina completely tore open, and she ended up bleeding so profusely that we had to send her directly to the emergency room, where they sent her directly into emergency surgery,” Reed explains. “And that is because the testosterone had deteriorated her genitalia?” Stuckey asks. “Correct,” Reed responds. “I said, ‘This is an adverse outcome.’ And their response was, ‘It’s really not. We expected things like this to happen.’ They knew these treatments were so harmful that they didn’t even see it outside of what the expectation was.” Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The core specs for the next generation of AMD Radeon GPUs have just appeared in a leak, and if it’s true, these GPUs look decidedly uninspiring unless AMD has some major architectural tweaks up its sleeve. This leak concerns both the new AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT and Radeon RX 8600, with the former looking like it’s going to represent the top peak of the new RDNA 4 lineup. This leak follows shortly after rumors appeared that the AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT ray tracing performance could be in line with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080. However, this latest specs rumor puts the new AMD GPU in the same category as the Radeon RX 7800 XT, but with hopefully some improvements to ray tracing performance from the new RDNA 4 architecture.

Much like a brand-new town, Cities Skylines 2 has taken a while to get going. Despite the huge popularity of its predecessor, CS2 struggled a lot at launch. Performance troubles, bugs, and flaws in core systems left it languishing with a mixed Steam review score. Even now, almost three times as many people have been playing the first Cities Skylines in the last 24 hours as have touched its sequel. But developer Colossal Order continues to work on improving and polishing the game through transformative updates and smaller patches alike, and now you can see how far it’s come without spending a dime.

What are the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 system requirements? This anticipated heavy-hitting medieval RPG sequel will be pretty kind to older gaming PCs and laptops, with reasonable specs at the lower end. Gamers with newer rigs, meanwhile, won’t struggle to max out those frame rates. To play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 when it releases, you’re not going to need the most powerful PC out there, unless you’re playing on the highest Ultra graphics preset at high resolution. If that’s the case, you’ll need one of the best graphics card models you can buy to run the game at 1440p or 4K resolution. For basic 1,080p gaming at 30fps, however, an older card, such as the GTX 1060 will do the job.
