Psaki Allows Comey to Compare Right-Wing Podcasts to Islam Extremists– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt:

Last Friday, Democratic press secretary turned MSNBC host, Jen Psaki had on former FBI director James Comey to talk about his new book, a fictional story that centered on a right-wing influencer who directed his followers to commit violence. Psaki used biased questions and responses to validate Comey’s outrageous claims that right-wing podcasters were like Islam extremists and were “white supremacist adjacent,” not just in his book, but in real life.

Psaki asks the question:

  I think you’ve told me, you enjoy writing fiction. It — it’s fiction, but it centers around a right-wing influencer who directs his followers to commit violence. Which feels, it’s not exactly topical in this moment, but it feels like something we’ve been talking about for several years. What — what inspired you? Is there a specific moment or person that inspired you to write about that storyline?

This prompted Comey to suggest that right-wing podcasters were using the internet to reach and radicalize young men in a way akin to ISIS:

I’m trying to write stuff that grips people, but is also real. And this is a threat we’ve been dealing with since the Islamic State came on the scene in 2014 and was using the internet to reach troubled people and move them to violence. Well, that threat has now gotten much larger because podcasts are everywhere, and it’s a tool in white identity extremism trying to motivate young men. Especially to move towards violence because they’re being replaced, they’re being attacked, America is under assault. This is a real feature of the FBI’s work, and so I thought it would make an — a good setting for a crime novel.

While media reports generally portrayed him as an effective representative for his district, they often overlooked a significant aspect of his legacy: Rangel was also known for his corruption.

In their announcement of Rangel’s death, CBS reported, “Charles Rangel, the longtime U.S. congressman from New York City and the last surviving member of the ‘Gang of Four,’ has died at the age of 94.” Born in Harlem on June 11, 1930, Rangel served as a Democratic member of the House of Representatives for 46 years after unseating the legendary Adam Clayton Powell Jr. He was a Korean War veteran, served as the dean of the New York Congressional Delegation, and was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that the Department of Health and Human Services will no longer recommend that “healthy” pregnant women and children receive the COVID vaccine, despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently advising that all Americans six months and older receive the updated vaccine, and warning that pregnancy puts people at risk of becoming seriously ill from the virus, as well as suffering serious pregnancy complications.

In a sub-60-second video posted on X, Kennedy—who has said his brain was partially eaten by a worm that crawled inside and died—smiles while declaring he “couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC-recommended immunization schedule.” He adds: “We’re now one step closer to realizing President Trump’s promise to make America healthy again.”

Excerpt:

Foreign governments, including Greenland, are currently considering investment alternatives to the U.S., such as China. This comes as JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned that President Donald Trump’s foreign policy could isolate the U.S. under what he characterized as an “America alone” doctrine.

Dimon has stressed the need to keep in place strong economic and military ties, indicating that the CEO is frustrated with U.S. diplomacy as Trump’s foreign policy has prompted concerns at home and abroad.

Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and making threats of annexing Canada and Greenland are just some of the issues that have created consternation. The tariffs put in place by the Trump administration on allies and foes alike

After Claiming Epstein Killed Himself, FBI Offers MAGE Red Meat with Promises of Investigations into White House Cocaine, DC Pipe Bomb, and Dobbs Leak

pgnewser May 28, 2025 0

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has announced plans to re-open investigations into the Biden White House Cocaine discovery, the DC Pipe Bomber from January 6, 2021, and the Dobbs Ruling Leak. Critics claim the action is to offer another pointless gesture to satisfy a base they may have abandoned by declaring Jeffrey Epstein did, indeed, kill himself.

Bongino told the press “… We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases. These cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case. I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress. If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI.”

The Kremlin has announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin narrowly escaped a significant drone attack targeting his helicopter. According to reports, Mr Putin’s helicopter was “virtually at the epicentre of repelling a large-scale attack by the enemy’s drones” last Tuesday, but Russia’s air defences were swiftly activated to protect the head of state.

Yury Dashkin, commander of a Russian air defence division, stated: “We simultaneously conducted an air defense battle and ensured the safety of the presidential helicopter’s flight in the air.”

US President Donald Trump, when questioned by journalists on Sunday, claimed ignorance regarding the incident, saying: “I haven’t heard that. I don’t know, but I have not heard that.”

However, by Monday, Mr Trump had taken to Truth Social to criticise Mr Putin, labelling him “absolutely crazy”.

Despite these claims, the Russians have not provided further proof to back up the alleged close call. Moscow has also recently asserted that it has expelled Ukrainian forces from The Kursk region, which is adjacent to Ukraine, reports The Mirror.

An Israeli air strike has hit a school inside Gaza with several children burned alive. At least 32 people were killed and another 55 injured – some of them left with horrendous burns. Fires broke out inside three classrooms in the school which was being used to shelter displaced families. Faris Afana, the ambulance service manager for Northern Gaza, said he arrived at the scene with crews to find the school ablaze.

He said: ‘There were sleeping children and women in those classrooms. Some of them were screaming but we couldn’t rescue them due to the fires. I cannot describe what we saw due to how horrific it was.” Local resident Rami Rafiq said: Flames were everywhere. I saw charred bodies lying on the ground. My son fainted when he saw the horrific scene.’ Horrific video footage posted online showed large fires consuming parts of the school.

Donald Trump’s speech at West Point on Saturday was bad, but the president managed to top himself and show off his decline at the sacred Arlington cemetery on Memorial Day.

Trump’s remarks lasted for less than 20 minutes, but they contained mispronounced words, and at times, the president was running his words together, making them difficult to understand.

In one section of his speech, Trump said:

 But even for a moment, that freedom is a gift of the highest cost and peace is one at the most precious price. These extraordinary American heroes in there, immense and ultimate sacrifices. They offer only the faintest glimpse at the infinite grace we have received from all who laid down their lives for America over the past 250 years.

We’re gonna have a big, big celebration, as you know, 250 years. In some ways. I’m glad I missed that second term where it was because I wouldn’t be your president for that. Most important of all, in addition, we have the World Cup and we have the Olympics. Can you imagine I missed that four years and now look what I have.

I have everything amazing the way things work out.

God did that. I believe that too.

God did it.

You know, I got the World Cup and I got the, uh, Olympics. The 250 years was not mine. I’d like to take credit, but I got the Olympics. I got the World Cup when I was president. And I said, boy, it’s too bad I won’t be president then. And look what happened. I, I turned out that we’re gonna have a great time, we’re gonna have a great celebration.

But most important of all is the 250th anniversary that blows everything away, including the World Cup and including the Olympics. As far as I’m concerned, in any corner of the cemetery, at any resting place for our war, dead, anywhere on earth, you’ll find untold stories of equal heroism and heartbreak unmatched.

Patriotism and devote.

Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) said he was denied access in El Salvador to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the suspected MS-13 gang member mistakenly deported by the Trump administration.

Ivey, who represents the congressional district in which Abrego Garcia lived, said he contacted a Salvadoran ambassador to make a request to their government before his trip. Despite that outreach, he added, he was denied access to the prison where Abrego Garcia is being held.

“They knew we were coming, they knew why we were coming, and they know we have the right to do this,” Ivey said in a video posted on X on Monday. “So, they need to just cut the crap, let us get in there and have a chance to see him and talk with him.”

Ivey noted he was told to travel to San Salvador to obtain a permit before he could visit Abrego Garcia. He appeared in the video alongside Abrego Garcia’s attorney and a member of CASA, the Maryland-based union he was part of.

King to outline Carney’s priorities in Canada’s Parliament amid Trump threat– abcnews.go.com

OTTAWA, Ontario — OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — King Charles III will outline new Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government priorities in a speech in the Canadian Parliament on Tuesday. It’s widely viewed as a show of support in the face of annexation threats by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump’s repeated suggestion that the U.S. annex Canada prompted Prime Minister Carney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne. The king is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.

Carney said in a statement the visit speaks to the “vitality of our constitutional monarchy and our distinct identity.”

It is rare for the monarch to deliver what’s called the speech from the throne in Canada. Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, did it twice in her 70-year reign, the last time in 1977.

The speech is not written by the king or his U.K. advisers as Charles serves as a nonpartisan head of state. He will read what is put before him by Canada’s government.

CNN Claims Obamacare Was Conservative, Tea Party Opposed It Because of Racism– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt:

On Sunday morning, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria re-aired an April 6 primetime special with the not-so-subtle title of The War on Government, which purported to be a history lesson on the conservative movement’s frustration with Republican politicians’ unwillingness or inability to shrink the government going back to President Dwight Eisenhower, which has culminated in DOGE’s blunt-force bureaucratic firings. The whole show operated on the assumption that conservatives, from FDR’s critics to DOGE, are wrong and out of touch, but the part about Tea Party opposition to President Barack Obama was the worst. Zakaria tried to claim Obamacare was actually conservative and had John Hopkins Professor Leah Wright Rigueur then surmise that the opposition to it was based in racism.

Zakaria huffed, “And yet, the core idea of Obamacare, requiring people to buy mostly private health insurance, had been championed by conservatives. It was proposed by Republicans as an alternative to Bill Clinton’s healthcare plan in the 1990s, and actually implemented in Massachusetts by Republican Governor Mitt Romney in 2006. But, none of that mattered.”

Media Matters Investigated by FTC for Allegedly Orchestrating the X Advertiser Boycott

The Federal Trade Commission is investigating allegations Media Matters, an anti-American media terrorist disinformation campaign center for the DNC-CCP, was spreading knowing lies about conservative media outlets to their potential advertisers in an effort to silence dissent.

The FTC is requesting records from Media Matters from any communications they may have made with other media “watchdogs.” The focus on the investigation is around what appears to be a Media-Matters led initiative to intimidate potential X advertisers to drop X by knowingly spreading misinformation in coordination with other media “watchdog” groups. The potential charges include criminal ones.

Why Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ Won’t Shield the U.S. from Nuclear Strikes– www.scientificamerican.com

Excerpt:

During a briefing from the Oval Office this week, President Donald Trump revealed his administration’s plan for “Golden Dome”—an ambitious high-tech system meant to shield the U.S. from ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missile attacks launched by foreign adversaries. Flanked by senior officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the project’s newly selected leader, Gen. Michael Guetlein of the U.S. Space Force, Trump announced that Golden Dome will be completed within three years at a cost of $175 billion.

The program, which was among Trump’s campaign promises, derives its name from the Iron Dome missile defense system of Israel—a nation that’s geographically 400 times smaller than the U.S. Protecting the vastness of the U.S. demands very different capabilities than those of Iron Dome, which has successfully shot down rockets and missiles using ground-based interceptors. Most notably, Trump’s Golden Dome would need to expand into space—making it a successor to the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) pursued by the Reagan administration in the 1980s. Better known by the mocking nickname “Star Wars,” SDI sought to neutralize the threat from the Soviet Union’s nuclear-warhead-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles by using space-based interceptors that could shoot them down midflight. But fearsome technical challenges kept SDI from getting anywhere close to that goal, despite tens of billions of dollars of federal expenditures.

More Whites Need to Die to Count as Genocide in South Africa– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt:

Despite admitting that white people were having their land taken by the South African government as racial retribution, the leftist extremists of ABC’s The View opened Thursday’s show by arguing that not enough white people had been killed fast enough for it to be considered a “genocide” as President Trump said. According to their ghoulish hate, any suggestion otherwise was “false conspiracy theory.”

“THERE IS NO GENOCIDE!” moderator and racist, Whoopi Goldberg yelled as co-host Sara Haines suggested that over 1,300 targeted killings of white farmers were not enough to care about:

It was false conspiracy theory. The fact that the president was — the president of South Africa was trying to share was that data collected by white farmers themselves, these are the white farmers, has counted 1,363 white farmers murdered since 1990, which is an average of 40 a year. Far less than one percent of total murders. The rest are all black people! So, there’s no genocide going on.

She followed up by admitting that the lands owned by whites was indeed being taken away from them as a form of racial retribution, but it supposedly didn’t happen often and they were supposedly offered money.

“The government will occasionally come to remedy some of the problems with apartheid that happened for 50 years in that country, they will come and with compensation,” she argued. “They will take the land occasionally back. So, what he did was took two little seeds and just like did his own thing with that. He was completely false and wrong!”

Schumer said:

Let me just say, based on what the House has passed, our chances of taking back the Senate have just increased because while Republicans claim that their tax scam will lift America across the board. The American people see it’s just plain false.

The polling data shows it. The 0.1% people will get a big tax break. The poorest 20% of Americans actually see their taxes go up. How is that fair? It’s not just taxes, it’s poor. And working class families see the costs of everyday items skyrocket.

Just what they did on the clean energy side will lose millions of jobs and cost people much more on their electricity bills. Families are gonna have to figure out how to find extra money to pay for these energy costs. Families will lose healthcare. Families will lose food benefits. Families will lose jobs, families will lose money.

The reason because the Republicans want a billionaire tax giveaway. And we’re gonna fight this tooth and nail. We know that a lot of Republicans on the Senate side are squirmy about the Medicaid cuts, the disparity in the taxes, the clean energy cuts, et cetera. And we urge everyone who’s listening to this call or who read something in the press or online to make sure that they call their Republican senators and say, don’t vote for this billionaire tax scam.

The Trump administration filed a motion Thursday to end the decades-old legal ruling that established basic standards for the treatment and release of migrant children—a move that immigrant rights advocates say they will challenge.

The Flores Settlement Agreement, which dates back to 1997, requires the government to move migrant children from jail-like detention facilities to state-licensed, child-appropriate facilities as quickly as possible, and to ensure that children are kept in safe and sanitary facilities.

“The fact that the government refuses to be held accountable to even these most basic standards to keep children safe speaks volumes.”

A new study has shown that community trust in Australian and New Zealand scientists is the highest in the developed world, and the authors say – surprisingly – it might be because local politics doesn’t get in the way.

Not everyone agrees.

The survey results were posted yesterday. The study of 70,000 respondents compares public trust in climate scientists and scientists in general across 68 countries.

It reveals that on average, participants reported moderately high levels of trust in climate scientists, with trust levels being slightly lower than in scientists in general.

“Overall, this trust gap was larger among participants who identified as politically conservative or right-leaning, but there was considerable variation across countries,” the report concludes.
