So, who’s watching leftist TV?
We’ve had a year of Trump derangement syndrome on the two largest leftist cable channels and what we are seeing is that more folks have turned to Conservative news media. MS NOW prime-time viewers dropped 27 percent during the past year. And CNN’s fell 16 percent.
Total Conservative TV grew by 25%. Led by FOX with 14% of that. Newsmax and NewsNation take the other 11%,
The United States has set a World Record on investments being made into a Country. President Trump was tooting his own whistle and rightfully so. We have this from Reuters.
The U.S. received $132 billion in state‑owned investment in 2025
That is 48% of all sovereign wealth and public pension fund investment worldwide.
✅ This is the largest share ever recorded for any country
Reuters describes it as a “change in paradigm” where the U.S. became the dominant global destination for sovereign investment flows.
✅ Global sovereign assets hit a record $60 trillion
And the U.S. captured the largest portion of that investment surge in history.
Why these matters
No other country has ever attracted this much state‑owned capital in a single year.
The U.S. outperformed all emerging markets combined.
Gulf nations pledged trillions in future U.S. investments (Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar) — unprecedented in scale.
🏆 So is it a “world record”?
Yes.
Based on the Reuters data, the U.S. received the largest amount of sovereign wealth investment ever recorded for any country in a single year.
This is exactly what Trump referenced when he said the U.S. set a “world record” for investment inflows — and the Reuters numbers back that up.
What happens when you don’t do any research? You attack on air personalities. Tenet Media was a U.S.-based media company founded in January 2022 by political commentator Lauren Chen and her husband Liam Donovan.
Tenet Media shut down on September 5, 2024, after two Russian Nationals were charged. None of the on-air personalities knew where the money was coming from and none were charged. See below.
What the DOJ alleged
The Justice Department accused Russian state‑media employees of:
secretly funding Tenet Media
directing content strategy
using the company as a covert influence operation
But the indictment did not accuse the U.S. influencers of knowingly participating. Who was not charged?
No American influencers or Tenet Media on‑air personalities were charged.
The DOJ framed them as:
“Unwitting” participants
People who did not know the money came from Russian state media.
Why weren’t the Americans charged?
Based on the sources:
The indictment alleges the Russians concealed the funding.
The influencers were paid as if it were a normal media contract.
DOJ did not accuse them of knowingly participating in a foreign influence operation.
Bottom line
Yes — charges were filed.
Only the Russian operatives were indicted.
No Tenet Media hosts or U.S. influencers were charged.
You make the call. 2% cause you to not get the flu shot?
Recently a study was done on the flu shot. Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During the 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season, would this discourage you?
Background. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season.
Methods. Employees of Cleveland Clinic in employment in Ohio on October 1, 2024, were included. The cumulative incidence of influenza among those in the vaccinated and unvaccinated states was compared over the following 33 weeks. Protection provided by vaccination (analyzed as a time- dependent covariate) was evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, including adjusting for influenza activity as an effect modifier.
Results. Among 53402 employees, 43920 (82.2%) were vaccinated by the end of the study. Influenza occurred in 1130 (2.12%) during the study. The cumulative incidence of influenza was similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated states early, but over time the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. In a multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, the risk of influenza was not significantly different during periods when influenza activity was low (HR, .70; 95% C.I., .42 – 1.15; P = .15) or medium (HR, 1.20; 95% C.I., .86 – 1.67; P = .28), but was significantly higher for the vaccinated state than the unvaccinated state when influenza activity was high (HR, 1.33; 95% C.I., 1.07 – 1.64; P = .009).
Conclusions. This study was unable to find a protective influence of influenza vaccination among working-aged adults during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season and found that influenza vaccination was associated with a higher risk of influenza when influenza activity was high.
Summary. Among 53402 working-aged Cleveland Clinic employees, we were unable to find a protective influence of influenza vaccination during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season and found a significantly higher risk of influenza with vaccination when influenza activity was high.

Let’s look at those layoffs and closings that Trump is being blamed for.
Seems as if some folks don’t know that when you lie or don’t research fake news, you end up looking like an ass.
Recently President Trump was blamed for a bunch of layoffs and closings of companies nationwide. Let’s look at a few.
When Foot Locker FIRST announced major store closings.
The earliest announcement reflected in the available sources appears to come from an analyst call in early 2024, when Foot Locker revealed it would close 400 stores by 2026.
Albertson merger being denied have to do with 60 stores closing?
Here’s the straight, evidence‑based breakdown, Joseph — and the short answer is yes, the failed Albertsons merger is directly connected to Kroger’s decision to close 60 stores. Merger denied in 2024.
When did Macy’s FIRST announce its major store‑closing plan?
✅ Macy’s first announced its large‑scale store‑closure strategy in February 2024.

Dershowitz to Newsmax: Maria Farmer’s Purported Vindication Is False.
Below is a article that first appeared on Newsmax.
By Jim Thomas
Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz forcefully rejected claims tied to Epstein accuser Maria Farmer during a Newsmax interview on Tuesday while urging full transparency as the Justice Department faces scrutiny over its redacted release of Epstein records.
Appearing on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” Dershowitz disputed assertions that Farmer was vindicated by newly released federal documents and challenged the credibility of allegations connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Responding to a claim that Farmer had been vindicated, Dershowitz said, “You said that the woman in 1996 was vindicated; she wasn’t vindicated. “This is Maria Farmer – she is a complete and total nutcase,” he continued.
“She believes the Holocaust didn’t occur. She thinks Jews control the world. She thinks that all Jews are pedophiles,” Dershowitz said.
“Of course, the FBI didn’t believe her in 1996. Nobody would believe her. She’s a complete nutcase except to CNN. CNN has her on every day.”
Dershowitz said Farmer claimed to have seen him at Epstein’s residence before he had ever met Epstein, disputing the account and questioning why such claims would be credited.
“Understand, Maria Farmer said she saw me once in Jeffrey Epstein’s house before I ever met Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, she sees ghosts. This is a completely non-credible nutcase that nobody should believe. Just because it’s in the files doesn’t make it true,” he said.
He added that the FBI would have evaluated such allegations at the time and rejected them, citing Farmer’s past statements.
“I’m sure the FBI looked into it and said, ‘Oh my God, this woman making a claim — what she said about Jews, what she said about people — of course we’re not going to believe her,'” Dershowitz said, characterizing the situation as “pure McCarthyism.”
Pressed on why the public cannot see unredacted files, Dershowitz argued that partial disclosures distort the record.
“A lot of these women who call themselves survivors, who call themselves victims — a lot of them were perpetrators, perjurers, liars. Lawyers got rich over this,” he said, while also stating that Epstein committed serious crimes and that “there are real victims.”
Dershowitz cited examples of allegations he said were fabricated, referencing claims later retracted, and warned that selective transparency harms legitimate victims.
“Partial transparency — that’s what Joseph McCarthy did,” he said, arguing that accusers and the accused should be subject to the same scrutiny.
He said he has studied the case for years and renewed the calls for prosecutions where warranted.
“Look, I know more about this case, probably, than any person around. I’ve been investigating this case since I became Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer in 2006 or something like that,” Dershowitz said.
“Many of these women — 20-year-olds, 21-year-olds, 23-year-olds — were making $250 a shot for bringing 14-year-olds to Jeffrey Epstein for sex. Let’s prosecute them. They’re within the statute of limitations.”
The remarks came after the Justice Department recently released redacted Epstein-related files.
According to CNN, the release was described as a breakthrough by Farmer and her sister Annie, who say Maria filed one of the earliest complaints against Epstein in the 1990s.
If CBS reporter doesn’t like it, go elsewhere with her fake news.
I’m sure you heard about the crybaby who wanted to do her pro progressive undocumented who were sent to jail in El Salvador.
CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss pulled a 60 Minutes segment on alleged abuse at a Salvadoran prison housing Venezuelan deportees just 36 hours before airtime, prompting correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi to call the decision political rather than editorial in an internal email.
The so-called reporter was going to run with her fluff piece without any response from the Trump administration. I’m sure ignoring the facts that there were the worst of the worst. Odds are she wasn’t going to talk about the drugs or the slave trade of using children.
Make Miami great again. Build the Trump Library.
Just in case you missed it, Miami Dade College was donating land for the one-billion-dollar Trump Library. But.
Historian and activist Marvin Dunn sued the college in court, alleging the initial vote violated Florida’s public transparency laws. Judge Ruiz said his case had substantial likelihood of success, blocked the college from transferring the land and set a trial date in August.
Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz made two rulings Thursday, one lifting a temporary block on the college from transferring the land and a second tossing the underlying public transparency case. She said the college sufficiently notified the public about a second vote on the land transfer held earlier this month.
When 35% Approval is worse than 18%. MSM.
What’s lower than pond scum? Democrats’ approval rating. And at 18% you think panic right? wrong. The media is saying that those 18% Democrats will give the Republicans a beat down. I saw one loon claim a 100-seat majority in the House for the left. Why? Cause the MSM says that with a 35% approval rating the Republicans are done. There you have it. 35% approval is worse than 18%.
What Dershowitz fears may be happening. Democrat McCarthyism.
Yesterday Dershowitz told The Record with Greta Van Susteren that the Democrats were manipulating the Epstein files. Here’s what’s happening.
“Well, according to at least several Democratic congressmen that were on television, what we expect to see is more and more McCarthyism. That is, they’re going to release the names of the people who are accused. So, John Smith, you’re accused, but we’re not going to tell you who accused you.”
So, if a person claims that I had sex with Bill Clinton or Donald Trump, that person’s name needs to be released also. Some of these women were only 15-16 at the time. They now are grown women. We’re hearing cases of lawyers having women who weren’t even involved coming forward and saying yeah, I was raped. We need all the information printed.
