Welcome to today’s episode of Democrats Sure Got It Good, where, after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) humiliates herself in Germany in ways unseen since Neville Chamberlain, the far-left New York Times happily acts as her stenographer to try and clean up the mess.

First, looking like a dumb little girl pretending to be a mature adult, AOC went the full-Kamala at the Munich Security Conference, attempting to answer a no-brainer question about defending Taiwan against a Chinese invasion:

A couple of days later at a public town hall at the Technical University of Berlin, AOC proved she’s geography-challenged:

And finally, here’s AOC in Berlin stepping on a rake while attempting to troll Secretary of State Marco Rubio after his triumph in Munich:

According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, the media covers the Trump administration “fairly and accurately.” If that were true, at least when it comes to her reporting, she would not tell such a blatant lie. This is proven by the fact that the media had zero relevance in the 2024 presidential election.

There are two things easily debunked in the video. First, it’s the claim that, at the very least, she believes she’s fair.

This is what she means when she claims she treats the president “fairly.”

Yeah, that was totally unbiased reporting….

A recent Axios’ headline suggests that crime fell at historic levels in major U.S. cities “despite” Trump’s “crackdown,” not because of it. The headline was designed to protect the criminal press’ narrative that ICE agents are unconstitutional paramilitary Nazis destroying the nation.

To protect that libelous narrative, Americans are being gaslit to believe that somehow ICE agents are still sources of violence, not preventers of it. The readers reacted so overwhelmingly that even the criminal terror outfit Axios had to retreat from its mask-off moment. This is our first documented incident of the Insurrectionist press being brought to heel by its own readership.

News Outlet Forced To Delete Anti-Trump Headline After Furious Backlash –  trendingpoliticsnews.com

Axios was forced to delete a social media post after readers erupted over a headline suggesting violent crime fell “despite” President Trump’s crackdown rhetoric, even as new data showed crime dropping sharply across major U.S. cities.

The outlet’s framing triggered swift backlash online, where critics accused Axios of downplaying the possibility that tougher enforcement and rhetoric may have contributed to the decline.

President Trump has spent months hammering Democratic-led cities over lawlessness while defending aggressive federal intervention.

“Chicago is a hellhole right now. Baltimore is a hellhole right now,” Trump said in September. “We have the right to [call in the National Guard] because I have an obligation to protect this country.”

ICE Director Todd Lyons has been using the House hearing that he is taking part in to argue that ICE is the real victim of ICE’s campaign of lawless violence across America.

According to CBS News, in his opening statement, Lyons said:

Lyons also condemned rhetoric from public officials against ICE, saying it has “fomented violence against dedicated American patriots defending our homeland, and this must stop.”

“We are facing the deadliest operating environment in our agency’s history,” he told lawmakers.

The real victims here aren’t the two dead Americans in Minneapolis, but the scores of people who are being beaten and abused while in detention. The real victims in this story are people in masks who are terrorizing American communities.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) had a reality check for Lyons.

Rep. McIver asked, “Do you consider yourself a religious man?”

Lyons answered, “Yes, ma’am.”

McIver continued, “How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?”

Lyons said that he wasn’t, “going to entertain that question.”

McIver continued, “Do you think you’re going to hell, Mr. Lyons?”

After a warning from the chair about decorum, McIver said, “I was asking a question. You guys are always talking about religion here and the Bible, I mean, it’s okay for me to ask a question, right?”

Havana — Cuban aviation officials have warned airlines that there isn’t enough fuel for airplanes to refuel on the island, the latest step in its moves to ration energy as the Trump administration cuts the Caribbean nation off from its fuel resources.

The government of Cuba published the notices to airlines and pilots on Sunday night, warning that jet fuel wouldn’t be available at nine airports across the island, including José Martí International Airport in Havana, starting Tuesday and continuing until March 11.

Political pressure from President Trump on Latin America has effectively severed Cuba’s access to its primary petroleum sources in Venezuela and Mexico.  In late January, Mr. Trump signed an executive order that would impose a tariff on any goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba, a move that could further cripple an island plagued by a deepening energy crisis.

Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson used an AI-generated image of Alex Pretti’s death in which a federal immigration agent is missing his head during a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday. Thompson is the same man who chaired the Jan. 6 Committee, which was also caught fabricating “evidence.”

While Thompson was chiding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for allegedly creating a “demonstrably false story” about Pretti’s death, an apparent staffer held up an AI-generated image of Pretti with Border Patrol agents standing over him, and one of the agents is headless.

Immigration is shaping up to be the hit-button issue of this midterm election. One drawback, though, is that these types of stories require a steady flow of victims in order to keep the issue in front of the public. With the unrest in Minnesota off the news, CBS News thinks they may have struck gold.

Watch as Matt Gutman goes to Idaho to investigate an ICE raid and is tipped off about an ACLU lawsuit:

Chaos reigned outside a Mogadishu, Minnesota courthouse. A rapid response until of constitutional observers witnessed ICE agents arresting someone who could have easily been one of your friends and neighbors, or even YOU. At least, that is, if you were caught with fifty pounds of methamphetamine. That was the person whom agents had to chase on foot before taking him into custody, but you wouldn’t know it if you glazed legacy media headlines on the X-Twitters.

Because let’s be honest. I know that you know that they know most people will just read the headline and use that to form their opinions.

We’ll start our story with ICE agents arresting a man who was charged with possessing over FIFTY POUNDS of meth. Note: When the media or the left (but I repeat myself) report that the majority of ICE arrests are people who were not charged with violent crime, they are talking about people like this guy and his fifty pounds of meth.

Despite his position as a Hollywood elite, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel likes to think of himself as a man of the people who cares for the little guy, but on his Tuesday show, Kimmel made the strange claim that illegal immigrants are “raising your children.”

While talking about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s congressional testimony where he was questioned about his appearance in the Epstein files, Kimmel sarcastically declared, “But this was encouraging. Congressman Lisa McClain, a Republican from Michigan, is speaking out and loudly against Epstein’s co-conspirators.”

The debate over immigration rages on in this country, with a disproportionate media focus on the enforcement side. But there continue to be horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens that garner no coverage from the network evening news.

The horrific truck crash in Indiana that killed four Amish individuals was not reported across the evening news. Here’s how it was covered on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier:

PBS led the charge in insurrectionist propaganda this week when it left Boston Globe Columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker essentially spin a conspiracy theory that the Hitlerian ICE agents are going to make sure the Republicans win the 2026 midterms and finalize their fascist masterplan. This week was filled with DNC criminal media info-terrorist attacks on Americans. No arrests have been made, so far.

Stohr threw out the libelous invective, which was only affirmed by Parker. She claimed, “… I’m concerned about call—not denying that ICE will show up at election stations, that the call for this increasing redistricting, mid-decade redistricting in states in order to try to game the system. Elections are supposed to be sacred in any functioning democracy. And that the president of the United States is the one making the call to disparage them and try to rig the system is really alarming.”

Parker added to the info-terrorist attack in her effort to signal to the DNC’s Antifa Army to continue the murderous assault on American ICE agents, “ “And he can’t let it go because I think he’s taken a page from Mein Kampf, frankly, you know, the saying that if you say—tell a big lie often enough and repeat it, then people will believe it. And the theory was further refined by the propaganda head in Nazi Germany, Mr. Joseph Goebbels. And the idea is, apparently, it’s true that—they would know, I guess—that people will believe a big lie quicker than they will believe a small lie.”

PBS Guests Invoke Hitler, Jim Crow Over ICE-Election Conspiracy Theory – newsbusters.org

Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post counterpart Kathleen Parker pinch-hit for Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks, respectively, on Friday’s PBS NewsHour, where they teamed up with host Geoff Bennett to invoke Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and Jim Crow all over a conspiracy theory about ICE monitoring the upcoming midterms that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed as “very silly.”

During an answer about whether Trump’s call to “nationalize” elections is serious or just bluster, Stohr added a few more election-related concerns, “But I’m concerned about call—not denying that ICE will show up at election stations, that the call for this increasing redistricting, mid-decade redistricting in states in order to try to game the system. Elections are supposed to be sacred in any functioning democracy. And that the president of the United States is the one making the call to disparage them and try to rig the system is really alarming.”

During Monday’s Morning Joe, so-called ‘conservative’ writer Matt Lewis alleged ICE was “buying” local police forces across the country through the federal 287(g) program in order to serve as a “paramilitary” force for a possible plot by President Donald Trump to steal the midterm elections.

The federal program referred to by Lewis, titled ICE’s 287(g) program, was a cooperation partnership between ICE and local police agencies that allowed local police to help ICE carry out immigration enforcement in a limited fashion.

The Department of Homeland Security lashed out at an “absurd” report claiming that a majority of the illegal aliens being deported by the administration were nonviolent cases.

The CBS News report cites an internal DHS document it obtained that showed only 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested in the first year of the Trump administration had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

‘We will stop at nothing to remove these public safety threats and Make America Safe Again.’

Many of the officials supporting the nearly 250 U.S. athletes competing in this month’s Winter Olympics arrived in Italy last weekend to a greeting they may not have expected: Hundreds of demonstrators packed a square in central Milan to protest the reported plan to deploy U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during the Games.

The first events in the 18-day competition, which will be shared by Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Italian Alps, begin Thursday and the opening ceremony is scheduled for Friday. Against that background, International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry called the agents’ involvement “distracting” and “sad.”

The Wall Street Journal’s crumbling credibility took another hit Monday with an “exclusive” hit piece on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that one agency official described as “one of the most disgusting cases of clickbait I have ever seen.”

DNI officials say the story, headlined, “Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency,” is a “nothingburger” on a “baseless complaint.”

“Here’s the truth: There was no wrongdoing by @DNIGabbard, a fact that WSJ conveniently buried 13 paragraphs down,” Gabbard’s Deputy Chief of Staff Alexa Henning wrote Monday on X. “Even the Biden-era IC IG [Intelligence Community Inspector General] came to this collusion the Whistleblower’s allegations against DNI Gabbard were not credible.”

President Donald Trump said Monday that he is considering legal action against comedian Trevor Noah, the host of the 2026 Grammy Awards, after Noah made false remarks during the broadcast linking Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During Sunday night’s ceremony, Noah joked that Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland stemmed from his alleged inability to visit Epstein’s private Caribbean island.

Noah appeared to be referring to Friday’s release of millions of Epstein Files.

The files were released under congressional legislation, which Trump signed into law.

On Saturday’s The Weekend, MSNOW White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez asserted that liberal journalist Don Lemon is being prosecuted by the Donald Trump administration because the President doesn’t like journalists who present facts and criticize him.

The show also tried to tie in race, with co-host Eugene Daniels teasing the story: “Today Trump’s immigration crackdown extends to the free press with federal agents arresting two black journalists, including Don Lemon, after documenting a church protest.”

After beginning the show by discussing the merits of the case, co-host Jackie Alemany turned to Barron-Lopez and posed: “Can you talk about why the White House is so obsessed with Don Lemon in particular?”

Tuesday’s CBS Mornings sought to give viewers a look at “how things turn[ed] chaotic” in Minneapolis with correspondent Lilia Luciano, but she muddied the waters by blaming conservative journalist Nick Shirley for the deadly chaos and refused to acknowledge Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) had removed dangerous criminals from the Twin Cities.

Featured co-host Vladimir Duthiers had a similarly biased lead-in, including downplaying the reality of criminals taken off the streets:

Many Americans have been shocked by the images and stories coming out of Minneapolis these last few weeks. The White House says the surge in Homeland Security agents to the area was about combating fraud along with deporting criminal undocumented immigrants. But here’s the thing, many arrested people have no criminal record. Some say they were stopped at random. So, how did things turn chaotic?

There are a multitude of stories emerging from the ongoing unrest in Minnesota, but the Elitist Media have settled on one of them to put forward in furtherance of narrative at the expense of other, more inconvenient stories. One of those stories remained hidden from the broadcast nightly news until tonight.

Per Minneapolis’ own Fox 9:

Two women have been charged after allegedly biting the fingers of U.S. Border Patrol agents in the moments that followed the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

The leftist media cabal constantly imagine themselves as the grand embodiment of Democracy and Freedom of Speech, even as they seek to put Republicans in jail and hope to censor them out of speaking on social media. They don’t live up to their First Amendment boasting.

For example, there’s CNN International host Christiane Amanpour, whose leftist ravings are also broadcast on PBS stations. On January 23, Amanpour led off her show with this attack on President Trump: “He says he’s bringing free speech back to America, but one year into Trump 2.0, few presidents have done as much to degrade civil liberties and muzzle the free press. Former Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron joins me to discuss how American journalism can survive.

Protests continue in the US after a second American citizen was killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis. ICE, created in 2002, has been heavily utilized under President Trump’s administration, with a focus on mass deportations and aggressive tactics. The agency’s rapid expansion and controversial operations, including deporting US citizens and documented immigrants, have raised concerns about oversight and the quality of training for new recruits.

Intentionally or not, the PBS News Hour exhibited a liberal double standard in descriptions in a story by Liz Landers from Minneapolis, where residents are apparently being persecuted under ICE.

A long 13-minute Thursday segment, which was capped with two guests, one from the Trump administration and one from the Obama administration, twice underlined that anti-ICE protester Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, but the November murder of another federal law officer in Washington, D.C. was downgraded to a mere “shooting.”

A video widely circulated on social media appears to show a member of the US’ Department of Homeland Security clapping moments after protester Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot and killed in Minneapolis.

The officer can be seen wearing a police vest over a black hoodie. Before he reached the group where Pretti was pinned by a group of Border Patrol agents, a shot rang out and the agent stopped.

On Monday’s CNN This Morning, CNN Guest and WIRED contributor Garrett Graff praised Minnesota protestors for supposedly being non-violent and said viral videos only showed federal law enforcement being violent. In reality, many other videos have shown protesters being violent, including a riot outside a hotel where federal law enforcement was staying on Sunday night into Monday morning.

The segment was a part of CNN ‘Breaking News’ coverage pertaining to the shooting of Alex Pretti and the following unrest.

Host Audie Cornish introduced a clip of FBI Director Kash Patel that talked about the need to “quell these riots” amid a trend across the country of “protests turning into violent scenarios and people attacking law enforcement.”

The DNC media is revising its Trump is deranged, demented, unfit to be President narrative while it knowingly pushes lies that get ICE agents killed. The most egregious version saw the DNC use a child as an agit prop tool, claiming ICE had used the child as bait to lure his father in so they can arrest him.

JD Vance confronted a reporter who attempted to push this insurrectionist lie, called her out for the lie and corrected her on the details. ICE agents approached the man to arrest him. He fled the scene, abandoning his son in the backseat of his car. ICE then appropriately moved to take care of the now abandoned child.

He concluded, “If the argument is that you can’t arrest people who have violated our laws because they have children, then every single parent is going to be.. given immunity…Do we want these things to happen? Do we want these arrests to be so chaotic? No, we don’t, these guys want it least of all. But, if we had a little cooperation from local and state officials, I think the chaos would go way down in this community.”

The co-hosts of “The View” were exhilarated by the presence of newly inaugurated New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), but Whoopi Goldberg topped them all with her praise of his policies.

Mamdani was swept into office on the promise of higher rent controls and redistribution of wealth, but he also benefited from opposition that included a scandal-plagued former governor and an unpopular incumbent mayor.

Her comments were met with thunderous applause from the audience.
