Yesterday, Iowa ABC affiliate KCRG-9 ran a viral story headlined, “Satanic display at Iowa Capitol vandalized ‘beyond repair’; arrest made.” ...

Mr. Cassidy’s vandalism was widely reported in U.S. media. But left completely out of the clearly-coordinated mainstream stories were: Cassidy’s military background, any photos of the pushed-over statue, any quotes from Cassidy — a public figure who’s run for Congress twice — explaining his motives, nor even any picture of Cassidy! Not even his mugshot!

Nor did the U.S. stories mention anything about all his online support, which proves the story has clear public interest.

And, if they still ran Twitter, we’d be watching a metric ton of censorship landing on everybody. Of course, for safety (of papier maché dolls). And to stop misinformation — about the Satanic Temple. (Cue painfully-extreme eye roll.)

Iowa drops felony hate crime charges against Michael Cassidy for destroying satanic statue

The FBI just admitted in court that Hunter Biden's laptop is real.

Here are 20 minutes of Joe Biden, U.S. intelligence officials, and the American media claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation."

The FBI has had possession of Hunter's laptop since December 2019.

Leading up to the 2020 election, Twitter and Facebook censored the Biden laptop story because the FBI warned them of a potential hack-and-leak operation targeting Hunter Biden.

The FBI knew that Hunter's laptop was real the entire time.

In October 2022, @MarcoPolo501c3 published a 640-page Report on the Biden Laptop that meticulously documents 459 crimes involving the Biden family and their associates.

The report provides evidence of Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations, money laundering, and tax fraud found on Hunter's laptop.

It also exposes how federal law enforcement agencies, influenced by politics, protect the Biden family from prosecution while targeting President Biden's primary election opponent, Donald Trump.

Shame on all of these people for lying to the American people, rigging our elections, and destroying the integrity of our nation.

With his team in the NBA Finals, the league expects Mazzulla to give a press conference on every "off-day" between games. It was at Saturday's conference that Vince Goodwill of Yahoo decided to pipe up with a question only progressive media writers seem to care about these days. Mazzulla's response was an instant classic:

Goodwill: Hey Joe, Vince Goodwill, Yahoo Sports. For the first time since 1975, this is the NBA Finals where you have two black head coaches. Uh, given the plight sometimes of black coaches in the NBA, do you think this is a significant moment? Do you take pride in this? How do you view this or do you not see it at all?

Mazzulla: Wonder how many of those are, or have been Christian coaches?

(awkward silence)

Voice off camera: David Alrich (next reporter in line for question)? ...

But let's go back to Mazzulla's response. The coach himself never specified or clarified precisely the meaning or implications of his words. And in fairness, given that they could mean a couple of different things, that might explain the awkward silence after his response.

But the simplest explanation is that Mazzulla was pointing out the arbitrary nature of Goodwill's question. Why ask about race? A coach's race has no bearing whatsoever on the athletic abilities of the players or their preparation for the finals. So Mazzulla's point might easily have been, "Why ask about race rather than say, a different arbitrary category like faith?"

If Goodwill (or anyone) responded by saying to Mazzulla, "It doesn't matter if a coach is Christian or not," the point is made: "it also doesn't matter if a coach is black or not, so why are we wasting time talking about this?"

Of course, it's also possible that Mazzulla was pointing out that the media has its own narrative that they are interested in talking about - racial politics. It has long been observed that many in sports media are either washed up, or wannabe political journos who haven't made it in that competitive field. Sports writing became the fallback plan, and many are still desperate to make the transition. That desperation has led to an epidemic of "woke sports" hot takes by political activists hoping to make a big enough splash that CNN, MSNBC, or the Washington Post notices them.

If that seems unlikely to you, just note that even after Mazzulla's dismissive rebuke, Goodwill proceeded to write a 1,500 word article on the struggle of black coaches. In other words, this was never an article about Mazzulla, it was never an article about the NBA Finals, it was never an article aimed at those who care about the Celtics, Mavericks, or sports at all.

In case you were tempted to start wondering about it all, BBC’s analyst labeled all doubts about the Hunter Trial as “bizarre.” Bizarre, even though Joe Biden’s son was only charged with the least criminal conduct that the trial evidence proved, eliding right over the millions Hunter raked in from U.S. enemies. Bizarre, even though Trump was charged with the most criminal conduct prosecutors could dream up, using tortured, novel legal theories.

But the BBC can’t see any difference between the two trials...

In my last article, I pointed out that members of the MSM’s “Trusted News Initiative” have been covering up “President” Biden’s dementia (and probably Parkinson’s Disease) for at least four years.

That means the public can’t trust The New York Times, The Washington Post, your local Gannett newspaper, at least four of the major TV “news” organizations, along with the wire services, BBC and myriad other “trusted” Internet sites.

Thanks to these trusted and authorized news sources, no American knows who’s really leading the United States government.

But many Americans already knew they shouldn’t trust these authorized sources of news. This explains why all of these news organizations are Dead Men Walking and surviving only due to billionaire owners who don’t mind losing millions of dollars, and/or are hanging by a thread thanks to ever-increasing subsidies from Big Pharma, the Bill Gates Foundation or more “get-your-flu-shot” ad placements from our local health sources.

For most of the evening, corporate media ran awful stories with headlines reporting “popping noises” and a “disrupted rally” without mentioning anybody getting shot. There clearly was a coordinated media effort to downplay what happened and to avoid calling it an “assassination attempt.” My favorite was CNN’s take, reporting that Trump “fell” at the rally, as though he’d simply stumbled over a sandbag:




The articles were no better than the headlines. For example, CBS dismissively called the shootings “an incident at the rally:”

Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday
night to thank the law enforcement officials for their quick actions
after was "shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right
ear" during an incident at his rally in Pennsylvania earlier in the
day.

But, after the FBI formally declared it an “assassination attempt” early this morning, corporate media headlines and articles began describing the shootings more accurately. Still, most headlines downplayed ‘the incident’s’ severity, emphasizing that Trump was only grazed. For example, NPR:

Trump is fine after an assassination
attempt at his rally
Published July 14, 2024 at 5:55 AM EDT

MSM is the enemy of the people. They whip readers into mentally ill frenzies that Trump is Hitler and ending democracy, so they must do everything they can to stop it. Then they minimize the severity of this assassination attempt:
