Trump's Trade War with Canada Is Pointess | National Review. Really!

Are we detecting here Trump Derangement Syndrome at the NR? This piece was written by the "The Editors" of NR!

Perhaps, the Canadians were for too long free riders and enjoyed great American leniency for many decades?

Perhaps, serious damage in the US-CA relation was also done during the administration of the foolish Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau?

"... However, for the U.S. to be in the middle of a poisonous brawl with Canada (Canada!) takes a degree of foolhardiness that would once have been inconceivable. ..."

President Trump: This Is Why You Don’t Slash Humanitarian Aid. Really!

Other countries are free to step up their humanitarian aid!

What a stupid commentary by NYT by a two times winner of the Pulitzer Prize! Must be Trump Derangement Syndrome when another small Ebola outbreak in a war zone in Africa triggers it!

Caveat: I did not read the article.

"... Yet in reality American humanitarian aid not only saved one life every 10 seconds but was also safeguarding the world from epidemics. So now we face a rapidly increasing outbreak of Ebola ..."

Bari Weiss and the power shift inside CBS News

Recommendable!

"... This story started in 2020, when Weiss published a 1,200-word manifesto accusing The New York Times of creating a hostile work environment where colleagues called her a Nazi in company Slack channels and Twitter mobs determined what could be printed in America's paper of record. ...

Editor-in-Chief of CBS News
Then she built her own media company, sold it to Paramount, and became editor-in-chief of CBS News.

That's a revolution disguised as a resignation. ...

The most damning line: Twitter had become the paper's [The New York Times] "ultimate editor." ...

Weiss published a detailed account of institutional dysfunction at America's most important newspaper and dared them to sue her.

They didn't. The truth has a way of protecting itself.

Weiss started The Free Press. ...

Weiss demonstrated something most journalists only talk about: you can leave, you can build, you can come back with leverage, and you can do it all without apologizing for who you are. ..."

Bari Weiss and the power shift inside CBS News | The Jerusalem Post "'The New York Times' tried to cancel Bari Weiss. Now she's running CBS - comment/From her exit at the New York Times to leading CBS News, Bari Weiss’s rise reflects a deeper fight over power, culture, and who shapes journalism’s future."

Entertainment and Media Bloodbath Widened in 2025: 17,000 Jobs Slashed, up 18% from 2024

Bad news! More than a total 53,000 jobs from 2023-25!

"In 2025, over 17,000 jobs were cut across television, film, broadcast, news and streaming in the first 11 months of the year. This figure was up 18% from last year, continuing a trend from the past few years as the industry has wrestled with consolidation and other pressures like the double strikes in 2023.

News alone, including broadcast, digital and print, suffered 2,254 job cuts to date, 179 of which occurred in November, but for the year, cuts were down 50% from the 4,537 job losses announced during the same period last year. ..."

DNI Director Gabbard Remarks at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest totally distorted

Again, the domestic and international news media appear to terribly misrepresent and distort the administration of President Trump!

Is this obvious misrepresentation by news media intentional or are these just lazy/lousy journalists?

In her own words:
"... But what I've seen over these months is that every time they make progress and they move closer and closer to that hope for peace, the warmongers in the Deep State step up and try to do everything they can to stop them. Predictably, they use the same old tactics that they've always used. The Deep State within the intelligence community weaponizes intelligence to try to undermine progress. They leak it to their friends in the mainstream propaganda media to try to spread this and push a false narrative. They foment fear and hysteria as a way to justify the continuing of the war and their efforts to undermine President Trump's efforts towards peace, and do so specifically in this case in order to try to pull the US military into a direct conflict with Russia, which is ultimately what the EU and NATO want. We cannot allow this to happen. We have to see clearly what's happening before our very eyes and stand united in this cause of peace. ...."

Trump Sues BBC: Why the US President Keeps Dragging the Media to Court with Palki Sharma

Recommendable! Trump is right to sue! When once reputable news media most likely maliciously spread misinformation to influence elections, they may have to pay for that!
Just the fact that BBC only aired this fake, manipulative, doctored news in the UK and not in the US is likely a clear sign of manipulation!

Teens Highly Skeptical of News Media according to a survey

Bad news for news media! However, this survey appears to have had only 750 respondents!

"A new survey found that 84% of American teenagers ages 13 to 18 describe today’s news media with negative terms like “biased,” “fake,” “boring,” and “depressing,” reflecting their widespread skepticism toward journalism.

More than half say they believe that journalists regularly engage in unethical behaviors, such as fabricating details or quotes, paying sources, taking images out of context, or doing favors for advertisers.

Less than a third of teens believe reporters correct their errors, confirm facts before reporting, gather information from multiple sources, or cover stories in the public interest—practices fundamental to reputable journalism. ..."

"... More teens believe journalists are skilled at lying and deceiving than informing the public. When asked to think of one thing they think journalists are doing well, roughly 1 in 3 teens (37%) offer negative feedback, saying things such as lying and deceiving (81 responses) or that journalists don’t do anything well (66 responses). ..."

"his follow-up survey, which recontacted more than 750 respondents from the News Literacy Project’s 2024 News Literacy in America Report, sought to better understand the nature of teen distrust in news media, including how they conceptualize the practice of journalism. ..."

TV-Doku untersucht Hitlers DNA: Grosse Aufregung um einen kleinen Penis. Wirklich!

Wie sich da die Schweizer Neue Zürcher Zeitung geirrt oder sich sogar lächerlich gemacht hat! 

Habe hier vor kurzem zum kleinen Penis und fehlenden Hoden von Hitler gebloggt.

"Für eine TV-Doku haben britische Forscher das Erbgut von Adolf Hitler analysiert. Die vermeintlichen Enthüllungen sind wissenschaftlich fragwürdig [???]. Aber selbst wenn sie sich bestätigen, tragen sie wenig [???] zum Verständnis des grössten Kriegsverbrechers aller Zeiten bei."

German support for Israel a 'legal and moral mistake' - Law and ethics professor Janina Dill. Really!

This is presented by German government paid for news media!
Holocaust, never again? What about antisemitism in contemporary Germany? This professor works at Oxford University! She does not even have a Google Scholar profile!
Caveat: I did not watch this video! The headline was enough!

Greta Thunberg removed from Gaza flotilla leadership

I bet, this event will largely be ignored by the mainstream media news!

Frankly, I never understood why this deranged/hysterical teenager, now young woman got all the media attention, obsession and fascination for several years! She also won several prizes, received significant donations etc. Weird! Bizarre!

Maybe this climate activist could not take the climate in the Middle East. Just wondering!

Who is behind promoting her?

According to Google search: "Greta Thunberg has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome (now considered Autism Spectrum Disorder), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and selective mutism, which can sometimes co-occur with autism. She describes her autism diagnosis as a "superpower" that enhances her ability to focus on and advocate for the climate crisis."

ChatGPT gave harmful advice to researchers posing as teens. Really!

That is called superhuman intelligence! I also would give those phony researchers harmful advice! 😊

Why do adult scientists pose as teenagers? Could these scientists not find any teenagers as test subjects?

This "new study" was published by the "Center for Countering Digital Hate Inc" (CCDH). This seems to be a very neutral and objective source for conducting such studies! Caution: irony!

"A new study found ChatGPT gave harmful advice in over half of 1,200 test prompts from researchers posing as teens, including instructions on drug use, self-harm, and suicide."

"Last month, CCDH researchers carried out a large-scale safety test on ChatGPT, one of the world’s most popular AI chatbots. Our findings were alarming: within minutes of simple interactions, the system produced instructions related to self-harm, suicide planning, disordered eating, and substance abuse – sometimes even composing goodbye letters for children contemplating ending their lives. ..."

The Sydney Sweeney ad controversy

I think it is mostly manufactured and totally blown out of proportion! A tempest in a teapot!

Keep in mind it is Silly Season or the summer hole.

These few, fairly unknown lefties, who made weird comments about this ad, are not exactly the stuff of major stories. 

But it was good for business! It was reported that these jeans sold out!

P.S. Am I guilty too of Silly Season posts? 😊

Clawback of $1.1B for PBS and NPR puts rural stations at risk – and threatens a vital source of journalism. Really!

For how many decades have their been demands to defund PBS and NPR? Then came President Trump's second term!

By the way, the current US federal debt is over $36.6 trillion or more than 120% of GDP! It is long overdue and high time to cut federal spending!

If it is great journalism, why does the audience not pay for it instead of all taxpayers?

In the meantime we also have the Internet and social media to spread news and commentary and so on.

"The U.S. Senate narrowly approved on July 16, 2025, a bill that would claw back federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distributes money to NPR, PBS and their affiliate stations. The US$9 billion rescission package will withdraw $1.1 billion Congress had previously approved for the CPB to receive in the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years. ...

Both NPR and PBS receive money from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, an independent nonprofit corporation Congress created in 1967 to receive and distribute federal money to public broadcasters. ..."

This link to this article (Title: "Anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests underway in cities and towns throughout U.S.") was in my email inbox today. I am a subscriber to Just the News!
