In addition to my prior post, Washington Post owner (and Amazon honcho) Jeff Bezos ordered his editorial dept to hire more conservative writers, to the chagrin of staffers who were already reeling from the paper's refusal to endorse Kamala. https://nypost.com/2024/10/28/...onservative-writers/ "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

^^^^ Sweet! I loved the “chagrin of staffers“ part. Serious about crackers | |||

Bad dog! |
YouTube no longer has even a shred of integrity. I put up a post of Bruce Springsteen talking for four or five minutes at a Kamala rally and then singing. You know when somebody stands up to sing in public, maybe at a party, and they can't sing at all? You cringe and wait for it to be over. That's what it's like when Springsteen sings. He can't even play the guitar. I put the post up in the Trump thread with a link to Springsteen. When I reposted it the next day in the more relevant Kamala thread I double checked the link. Just Springsteen talking-- no singing at all. I thoroughly searched YouTube. Every link had Springsteen talking, and then cut out when he is about to sing horribly. The embarrassment is completely excised. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

It would seem as though Bezos, even being very liberal, understands traditional newspapers are dying and will die unless they appeal to a wider audience. I do wish I would have been around when the announcement was made to staffers. | |||

I thought Bezos was a Trump-hating Lefty. If he is, at least he has the business sense to try to save that rag. . | |||

Bezos is a smart dude. Right now President Trump has grounds and support for massive import tariffs. That kills Bezos’ business of bringing cheap shit Chinese goods into America. Bezos is, undoubtedly, thinking supporting Kamalalalala would be really bad for his business, thus, this every so tiny olive branch to President Trump.

Like a party in your pants |
I live in Chicago on the far NW side. many of my neighbors are Police, Fire, Teachers, and high ranking lawyers and Judges and city workers. My area of the City is border line Republican but you will NEVER see any Republican signage posted unless you want to start filling out insurance claims for the property destruction you WILL have. During election cycles the Dems flood the area with Dem election signage and "Proud Union member" signs.I have a Dem committeeman living across the street who is also a top union official. This year NOTHING! No signs anywhere to be seen. My take would be that these people (Dems) can't bring themselves to support Harris, they would probably have supported Biden because he's Irish and Catholic but NOT Harris. I won't go so far as to say they will vote for Trump, but I figure they will either not vote at all or not vote for Harris but vote for all the other Dems on the ballot. I'm sure some will hold there nose and vote for Harris anyway. Here, behind enemy lines that would be the best outcome I can foresee. The City of Chicago voting majority Trump would be a Miracle! I would like to witness a Miracle before I die. | |||

Bezos knows Trump is going to win and is more than likely afraid of media/social media outlets being targets of the DOJ for election interference. He couldn’t care less about moving the Washington Post off its leftist slant. Otherwise he would’ve made changes when he bought the Post way back in 2013. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

Like the Silicon Valley CEOs led by Musk, he sees the near future. The country, similar to 1980, has turned towards a conservative slant because they were beat to shit by leftist policies. I imagine the newspaper is a small little hobby of his, a fraction of his entire wealth.

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
I know I'm way behind the game, but I finally got to listen to the Rogan podcast today. What an awesome three hours! Using the long form podcast format to allow President Trump the time to "weave" his points together really demonstrated how his mind works and the intelligence behind his plan. The media loves to cut him up into sound bites or snippets, and delivered like that he does sometimes sound like he's rambling or "out there". But when you allow the man to articulate the entire thought and bring everything together, you can really see the logic in his process. He's brilliant, he just gets to his conclusions in a different manner than some people. I'm not sure if Rogan had shared his questions ahead of time or not, but the way that conversation played out it really didn't matter. Trump was engaged for the entire three hours, was straightforward and honest, and I don't think anybody could have scripted it if they'd tried. I heard later that it was only supposed to go for an hour because Trump had prior appointments, but they got to talking and it went on for three. I've always been in agreement with Trump's policies, but have had some misgivings about him as a person. I've voted for him three times in the General election, but never in a primary. I've already cast my vote for him this year (early voted last week), so I guess in that respect listening to the podcast didn't make much difference, but I now have a much greater respect for the man and confidence in his intellect. Hopefully there are a lot of people out there who listen to that interview and have a greater appreciation for who he is and what he's trying to do when they go to the polls next week. | |||

Link to a video on Rumble - Madison Square Garden Media Meltdown Montage Once you get past the Usual Suspects of the Mockingbird Media reprobates, the on-the-street footage and interviews of MSG rally-goers is pretty good, but the Chinese woman at ~3m 45s steals the show!

I just saw a political ad on Youtube for RFK, specifically targeting his "MAGA opponent". The Left is truly diabolical. God Bless and Protect President Donald John Trump. VOTE EARLY TO BEAT THE CHEAT!!! | |||

When I see things like this, I have to wonder about the accuracy of the rest of the article. Whatever power Eisenhower may have allowed Nixon to have in the 1950s, Nixon really had no power in the 1960s. He held no office until sworn-in in January 1969, 9 months after Dr. King's assassination. Whatever surveillance Hoover was doing on King and other civil rights leaders in the 1960s, he was doing on his own (something for which he had a reputation), or under the direction of Democrats JFK and LBJ. Nixon had his faults, as all Presidents have had, but making him the convenient whipping boy for all things bad in the 1960s and 1970s is just lazy in this case. In other cases, it is pure Leftist propaganda. . | |||
