Seeing a pattern with Hasan.
Before coming to the U.S. to become a race grifter who disparages the people of the country that welcomed him in to make millions on American television, Mehdi Hasan had a disgraceful career in the U.K. The Iranian regime propagandist worked to radicalize Muslims and he dehumanized “infidels” and gay people. He was an ardent defender of Iran’s propaganda outlet “Press TV.”
I wonder if his hatred of Trump and his voters is similar to Iran’s hatred. Iran hacked Trump’s campaign to help Democrats and even hired a hitman to try to assassinate him. https://x.com/jonfavs/status/jonfavs/status/1855766232344953013
CNN Host Did NOT Let Aviation Expert's Reality Check Ruin the Preferred Spin on Recent Crashes
After talking to CNN's aviation expert that said there's no common threat among recent plane crashes, Dana Bash kicks off a panel discussion "As he said, there is no thread between all of those except the obvious, which is that planes are crashing, which is frightening, but this is happening against the backdrop of massive cuts across the federal government, including at the FAA."

Yesterday, our Troller-in-Chief struck again. The ghastly UK Guardian was aghast, running the breathless story under the headline, “Trump receives widespread backlash to social post calling himself ‘king’.” They fall for it every single time.
The real news, what actually happened, as opposed to what somebody said about it, was Trump’s newly confirmed Secretary of Transportation, sent an official letter to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, pulling the plug on her much-despised, Orwellian “congestion pricing” program for New York City.
New York’s pricing program pretends to make citizens’ lives easier by making their lives harder. The plan, a “fifteen-minute-city” lover’s dream, requires a vast electronic surveillance system tracking the movements of millions 24x7. At “peak” traffic, drivers are automatically charged $9 per trip to and from Manhattan. (It was originally $15 per trip.) Nobody voted for it. You could say it was enacted through kingly fiat.
Biden’s DOT enthusiastically approved the program. But yesterday, DOT Secretary Sean Duffy revoked that approval.
To say the public widely despised the program is like saying the French resistance somewhat disfavored Hitler. Once again, Trump is making the Democrats argue for the hated 20% side of the argument. But that’s when he really piled on.
The official White House account fired off a celebratory tweet: “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!” The post included a fake Time Magazine cover showing a smiling Trump wearing a crown. More massive triggering ensued.
To truly appreciate the transgressive humor, you have to remember where the whole “king” canard came from— the Democrats! They cranked up the “Trump as king” rhetoric last year, while the Supreme Court was defining the boundaries of Presidential immunity. When Trump invoked “THE KING!” he knew exactly what he was doing. See! See! We told you! He thinks he’s a king now!
Meanwhile, as the progressives’ court jesters lose their minds in performative outrage over unsent invitations, mean tweets, and his Highness’ royal references, Trump’s Swamp-draining troops storm the battlefield. The irony is Imperial hilarity.

The Associated Press' Latest Statement About Trump Gave the Whole Game Away
It's why he’s likely equally amused by the Associated Press’ war with the Trump White House, which the latter couldn’t care less about. The legacy media’s influence is dying, the AP style guide is left-wing trash, and no one said anything about other systems of censorship before AP got hilariously barred from the Oval Office and Air Force One. Taibbi noted how the AP guide slowly became infected with the woke virus and how it’s not uncommon for journalists to be chilled out of the White House—Trump isn’t the first or last president to freeze out reporters he didn’t like. AP should recognize the changing times because they’ve already lost the PR war (via Racket News):
In the Last 3 Months, the Word '******' Has Been Tweeted 2.6 Million Times
NoHomophobes.com's ticker as of this morning
The world can be a pretty hateful place, but much of the time, people keep it to themselves, using slurs in the privacy of their living rooms, "among friends." On Twitter, people chatter casually as they would in more closed settings, but they do not actually enjoy the privacy they imagine. Twitter's API lays out their words, and with the right set of tools, we can see into those living rooms and listen in on all that ugliness that normally goes unheard.
