The American Media Should Not Be Trusted

CHANGE: Washington Post Goes On Firing Spree, Reportedly Terminates Over A Dozen Employees. “The Washington Post ignited a firestorm inside its own newsroom after reportedly axing more than a dozen editorial staffers, according to multiple reports. NBC News reporter Mark Segraves said that Marc Fisher — a 39-year veteran of the paper and one of its most recognized voices — was among those terminated.” https://dailycaller.com/2025/10/03/washington-post-layoffs-terminates-opinion-editors/ . -
Even NBC Knows It's the Schumer Shutdown and That Democrats Own It Matt Margolis Even NBC’s Meet the Press couldn’t ignore the Democrats’ stunning hypocrisy over the government shutdown fight—and Hakeem Jeffries found himself on the defensive when Kristen Welker pressed him about it. On Sunday morning, Welker challenged the House minority leader over his repeated claims that the current standoff is a “Republican shutdown,” pointing out that it’s Democratic senators—not Republicans—who are holding up the vote on a clean continuing resolution that would keep the government open. “But let me ask you,” Welker began, “because you say this is a Republican shutdown. But it’s Democratic senators who are withholding their votes on what is called a clean resolution. That means no strings attached, which is something, quite frankly, Leader, that you and other Democrats have advocated for in the past.” She then rolled a clip showing leading Democrats — including Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Jeffries himself — declaring in past years that it was wrong to use a government shutdown as leverage for partisan demands. For example, back in September 2023, Nancy Pelosi said, “You do not use the threat of shutting down government to try to advance your policy agenda.” That, of course, is exactly what Democrats have done. “First thing that the House has to do is pass a clean, six-week CR,” said then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) Which is exactly what Republicans voted to do. But the best part was that Welker included a clip of Hakeem Jeffries himself, back in November 2023, saying, “A continuing resolution that is at the fiscal year 2023 levels is the only way forward.” After the montage, Welker pressed Jeffries again: “Why not fund the government and debate extending Obamacare tax credits after the fact? They don’t expire till the end of the year.” The question went straight to the core of the Democrats’ strategy— holding up a straightforward, short-term funding bill until they can stuff it with billions in new Obamacare subsidies and other progressive wish-list items.The disconnect between their past moralizing and their current behavior is glaring. What we’re witnessing isn’t leadership; it’s the purest form of hypocrisy. The Schumer Shutdown perfectly captures everything wrong with the modern Democratic Party’s approach to governing—rules for thee, never for me. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/10/05/even-nbc-knows-its-the-schumer-shutdown-and-democrats-own-it-n4944509

This morning as I sat in a London synagogue for Yom Kippur services, a friend sitting next to me said “I reckon Jews have about 10 years left in this country.” I said I disagreed, and that it’s not as bad as it seems. About 20 minutes later, the service was suddenly interrupted. A synagogue security official went up to the bimah and said there had been a “major incident” in the north and they were locking down the synagogue. There was a buzz of fear. Children’s services were canceled. We were not to leave. My friend looked at me, and said, “You see what I mean. 10 years.” In 2025, two Jews were murdered for the crime of praying in a synagogue in Britain. Truth is, I don’t know a single Jewish family in London who doesn’t speak openly and often about leaving. These are dyed in the wool Brits, who love this country. But they are watching the England they know disintegrate around them. British Jews have lost the right to security and safety. The response by authorities to this attack is to pledge more security at Jewish schools and synagogues. They’re just restating the problem. Why should Jewish kids go to school in London or Manchester under a phalanx of security guards? Why do synagogues need a rotation of specially trained guards at every event? (For what it’s worth not a single police officer showed up at our synagogue after the attack i n Manchester. Guess they were busy.) Jewish parents who pass by secular and non-Jewish parochial schools might gaze in wonder - perhaps envy - at the sight of children entering their schools without six or seven men in stab vests standing guard. And Keir Starmer comes out with his valiant statement “We will defeat antisemitism.” No. They will tolerate it, ally with it, reward its most virulent proponents. And the most insane part is that I write this with full knowledge that it’s me who might get the knock on my door from the police to ask me about this very tweet, which they find “concerning.” Tell me how to make sense of it.

BEN FREEMAN: I’m Leaving the UK. For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here. I had watched from abroad during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party from 2015 to 2020, when Jew-hate poisoned the party and seeped into wider politics. Yet, despite my deep disappointment, I still believed in this country enough to move back from Hong Kong in 2022. I wanted to believe the Jewish story here still had a future, and I was determined to be a part of it. October 7, 2023, changed everything. Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, and instead of residents recoiling in horror, Britain’s streets filled with marches that celebrated it. Even after two Jews were massacred in Manchester yesterday, on Yom Kippur, the marches continued. Jew-hatred has become mainstream here. It has been excused by leaders. It has been embedded in a culture where terrorism is justified and Jewish suffering denied. You see it in the tearing down of hostage posters across Britain’s cities, a painful message that Jewish lives do not matter. You can see it in the way Jew-hatred and violence are always paired with condemnations of “Islamophobia.” You can see it in a justice system that treats public displays of Judaism as a threat to public safety, rather than the Islamists who cause the danger. You can see it in placards calling for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state and for the genocide of Jews, and in crowds carrying the flags of proscribed terror organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah. These are not, and have never been, pro-Palestinian marches. They are, at their very core, anti-Jewish. They are about stigmatizing Jews as perpetrators of mass murder—and therefore creating the permission structure for violence against us. https://www.thefp.com/p/im-leaving-the-uk-antisemitism-manchester

PETER DOOCY: "There is an account on X that tries to forecast military action based on how busy the pizza places are around the Pentagon... Have you guys thought about maybe just going to the cafeteria?" SECRETARY HEGSETH: "I'm aware of that account. I hadn't thought of just going to the cafeteria. I've thought of just ordering lots of pizza on random nights just to throw everybody off. Some Friday night when you see a bunch of Domino's orders, it might just be me on an app, throwing the whole system off. So we keep everybody off balance."

ROGER KIMBALL: Trump’s Second Term Resets Washington’s Playbook. Remember the good old days when the FBI would hang out in the parking lots of Catholic churches where the traditional Latin Mass was celebrated? The Bureau claimed that such churches were a breeding ground for what the Biden administration called “domestic extremism” and offered plenty of scope for what the FBI called “mitigation opportunities.” Hence, they jotted down the license plate numbers of the parishioners who just got done reciting really dangerous things like “Sanguis Christi custodiat me in vitam aeternam.” “See? See? They’re talking about blood!” Those were the days. You could go to a school board meeting and watch hapless parents being tackled and hauled off by the police for complaining that they didn’t want little Johnny battened on books like Gender ***** or, come to that, they didn’t want that bloke Jack, who called himself Jill, moseying about the girl’s bathroom or playing touch football on the girls’ team. Wot larks! That’s all over now. Sure, here and there, you will discover some pasty-faced feminist festooning her classroom with pride flags and banners instructing us to “globalize the intifada” or whatever. But those pathetic eructations are like the twitching of a frog’s legs after the dissection has begun: vestigial motor movements produced by stimulus, not life. The magnificent address by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth last week was evidence of the new dispensation: “No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses,” Hegseth said to the hundreds of senior officers he had summoned. “No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction, or gender delusions. No more debris.” https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/05/trumps-second-term-resets-washingtons-playbook/ Read the whole thing.

Hakeem Jeffries demands you “pay your fair share” with higher taxes when he only pays just $213 in property taxes each year since buying his $1.2M Brooklyn condo in 2007. He’s exploiting a tax abatement program meant for low income affordable housing. He supported expanding this loophole during his tenure in the New York State Assembly even though the program now costs the city approximately $1.4 billion annually in lost tax revenue. -
