DirecTV's Decision 'Purely' Political

By Dick Morris

DirecTV's decision to drop Newsmax was "purely" political. I disagree with the narrative that the satellite network dropping Newsmax was a business decision. President Trump launches his campaign on Sunday, and the Tuesday before midnight, [DirecTV takes] Newsmax off the air. This is obviously political, and to dress it up as a commercial decision, it's ludicrous. The issue here is purely and completely political, and they're trying to disguise it by saying that the pennies, one way or another, are making all the difference, and that's just not true.

New Gun Regulation Handicaps the Disabled

By John Lott, Founder of Crime Prevention Research Center

The Biden administration’s newly released regulations regarding "pistol-stabilizing braces" will instantly turn tens of thousands of law-abiding Americans into felons and create a national rifle registry. But the Biden administration and the media exaggerate the costs and ignore the benefits these braces produce. Few seem to realize that stabilizing braces for pistols were originally designed to allow wounded and disabled veterans who may have lost the use of part of their hand to hold handguns. They are essentially a strap attached to the gun. Disabled individuals are often viewed as easy targets by criminals, and stabilizers make it easier to defend themselves. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) originally approved pistol braces during the Obama administration. [more...]

No Second Amendment Would Render Us Powerless

By Judd Dunning

America is on a razor's edge. Three mass shootings within 48 hours have the usual liberal suspects exploiting the carnage to push gun control. President Biden and his acolytes keep babbling the same platitude that is as smug as it is irrelevant. After a tragic shooting, Democrats keep bleating about how no hunter needs a semi-automatic weapon to kill deer. This snide commentary shows a complete ignorance of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Second Amendment right of individuals to own guns has absolutely nothing to do with hunting. The right to own guns "shall not be infringed" by the government because that very government is why individuals own such guns. [more...]

The Left's Horrifying Plan to Turn America into a Socialist Nation

David Horowitz, one of America's most famous authors and conservative thought leaders, says in his new book, one of America's most famous authors and conservative thought leaders, says in his new book, Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last:

• America's next presidential election could be her last.
• There now exists an existential threat to American democracy greater than any our nation has ever faced.
• Democracy as we know it is being obliterated at the hands of Democrats who pose a deadly threat to our freedom.
• Their real goal is a one-party state – and they are willing to break even Constitutional provision, law, precedent and procedure – to see that it happens.

These claims are made by New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz who for the first time reveals the left's horrifying plan to turn America into a socialist nation. What he's discovered will rock you to the core. America, Horowitz warns, is on the precipice of another civil war. [more...]

Why Preserve the Reconciliation Monument in Arlington Cemetery?

By Scott Powell

Why should Americans demand reversal of the decision by the now disbanded "Congressional Naming Commission" to remove the Moses Ezekiel Reconciliation Monument from Arlington Cemetery? The destruction of historical monuments orchestrated by Antifa anarchists and the Marxist-led Black Lives Matter that swept through America with the COVID lockdowns and the death of George Floyd in 2020 was part of the plan to bring down America. In many states, no monuments or statues of Columbus or Confederate Civil War heroes are left standing. This partial erasure of history won't appease the destroyers of history whose goal is to destroy America from within. They fully intend to take down the Founders next and then the United States itself. [more...]

Memphis Cops May Have Been Affirmative Action Hires

By Daniel Greenfield

This is what quota hiring looks like.

It appears that some of the cops in the Memphis case came by way of lowered standards. Loosening the required qualifications means that the department is ultimately getting "less desirable" job candidates. The department showed signs of struggle with recruiting new police officers, offering $15,000 signing bonuses in 2021 and 2022. Now there may be a number of reasons. [more...]

What's Behind DirecTV's Censorship of Newsmax?

By James Hirsen

DirecTV just recently removed Newsmax from its channel lineup. It was less than a year ago that the AT&T-owned media outlet deplatformed One America News (OAN), another digital news source that offers folks a more balanced option to the far-left fare that overwhelmingly dominates the current media ethersphere. The selective decision by corporate heads appears to have been highly politically motivated, since a host of channels that are filled with radical-left programming are still readily available to DirecTV users, even though viewing audiences remain in short supply. Newsmax, on the other hand, ranks as the fourth highest-rated cable news channel in the nation. But now the more than 15 million customers of DirecTV, DirecTV Stream, and U-Verse are no longer able to access Newsmax’s alternative to the knee-jerk liberal content that appears on almost all of the other news and information channels. [more...]

CENSORSHIP: AT&T's DirecTV cut Newsmax's signal

Last week, AT&T's DirecTV cut Newsmax's signal, immediately shutting the network off from more than 13 million customers of the satellite service, DirecTV Stream, and U-Verse.  NewsmaxTV is the only station that carries Trump rallies, so they’re basically blanking him out before the 2024 election.

This is the second time in the past year AT&T has moved to cancel a conservative channel, with DirecTV deplatforming OAN in April.

"This is a blatant act of political discrimination and censorship against Newsmax," Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, said.

Despite Newsmax being the 4th highest-rated cable news channel in the nation, a top 20 cable news channel overall, and watched by 25 million Americans on cable alone, according to Nielsen, DirecTV said it was taking the step as a "cost-cutting" measure and would never pay Newsmax a cable license fee.

DirecTV pays cable license fees to all top 75 cable channels and to all 22 liberal news channels it carries.

Almost all of these channels are paid hefty license fees significantly greater than Newsmax was seeking — and despite the fact that most of the channels have far lower ratings than Newsmax.

"The most extreme liberal channels, even with tiny ratings, get fees from AT&T's DirecTV, but [in their view] Newsmax and OAN need to be deplatformed," Ruddy said.

Newsmax Statement

AT&T DirecTV’s de-platforming of Newsmax is the second conservative channel to be cancelled in the past year.

DirecTV believes Newsmax should receive ZERO cable fees, even though it is the 4 highest-rated cable news channel in the nation, according to Nielsen. Newsmax is also a top 16th ranked channel for all of cable in daytime.

DirecTV carries 22 liberal or liberal-leaning channels, all of whom get fees. DirecTV believes only one conservative channel should get a fee.

"This is a blatant act of political discrimination and censorship against Newsmax," Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media, said. "The most extreme liberal channels, even with tiny ratings, get fees from AT&T's DirecTV, but Newsmax and OAN needed to be de-platformed," Ruddy added.

Background Information:

1. Newsmax was a free site before this renewal as many networks are free upon launch. Fox News paid operators to launch in the 1990s. Our current agreement with DirecTV makes provisions for a rate upon renewal.

2. Last year Newsmax had 3 major renewals up, all agreed to Newsmax’s rate. These were DISH, Verizon and NCTC.

3. Newsmax is seeking a modest fee, 75% discounted to our market rate.

4. DirecTV is not losing money. They made a $2.7 billion in profit last year.

5. Of the top 75 channels, Newsmax has higher ratings than more than 50 channels, and almost all of these channels get higher fees than Newsmax was asking for despite their lower ratings.

6. Newsmax’s free stream ends in 2023. We never require any operator, including DirecTV, to pay us a fee while the channel streams free. DirecTV is well aware of this and continues to give the press false information.

7. Vice gets full carriage and license fees from DirecTV. TPG, the operator and 30% owner of DirecTV, is a major investor in Vice. Vice has tiny ratings, 20% of Newsmax’s, but is currently getting fees comparable to what Newsmax is seeking.

The Hard Truth about January 6

By David Horowitz

The Democrats’ drive for a One-Party State

According to a report by the Inspector General, Donald Trump offered to provide thousands of national guard troops to protect the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Trump was concerned about the possibility of trouble from fringe elements on the left and right who might see it as an occasion to cause trouble. His offer was rejected by Pelosi and the Democrats who instead provided a grossly under-manned Capitol police force instead. The under-manned force was unable to set up a defensive perimeter around the building, which is why there is extensive video footage showing Capitol police officers escorting demonstrators into the building.

Globalism Can Meet Its Waterloo - An 8-point Plan

By Scott Powell

America has gone awry in large part because of the deceit and encroachment of the Deep State and globalists whose influence has weakened and neutered the U.S. Constitution. But the people more so than the elite in America are now the light determined to expose corruption and expel darkness. And an improved moral stature in the U.S. bolsters the rule of law and the conduct of domestic affairs, deters our enemies, while providing hope and an example to friends and onlookers elsewhere. [more...]

An Arrest and FBI Corruption

By Daniel Greenfield

Trump wasn't working for Russia, but it's hard to find anyone in D.C. who isn't.

On Saturday, the FBI arrested one of its own. Charles McGonigal, who used to head counter intel for the Bureau in New York and investigated Trump over Russiagate, was busted at JFK Airport and has been charged with violating the sanctions placed on Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch allied with Putin who has his name scrawled on parts of Russiagate. Before Christopher Steele was brought on board to produce the infamous dossier aimed at Trump, the British ex-agent had been working on a project for Deripaska to go after Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign manager, who would also prove to be an FBI target.

European Pharma Considers Reshoring from India, China... Where's the U.S.?

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

As 2022 was winding down, two trade topics became front and center. Both were connected: supply chain risk, and reshoring. Everyone blamed the difficulties on pandemic health restrictions. Looking at both healthcare and the supply chain woes that the pandemic laid bare, a group of pharmaceutical companies in Europe discussed reshoring at an event run by Scrip, a pharmaceutical industry news and information firm, in November 2022. Reshoring sounds like a good idea. But most companies scratched their heads as to how, and all said costs would be too high. Given that excuse alone, it appears the global, European pharmaceutical industry is perfectly happy relying on India and China for its core generics, while it hopes it can make big money on blockbuster drugs at a handful of labs back home. [more...]

How Hollywood Uses TV Shows to Lie About Good Guys with Guns

By John Lott, Founder of Crime Prevention Research Center

You would never know Americans use guns four to five times more frequently to stop crime than to commit it, especially when entertainment TV portrays the opposite.

Over the past few years, only a few good Samaritans have received any press despite the overwhelming number of these brave individuals jumping into action. You may not hear about many of these stories outside of local media accounts, but they occur all the time. There are dozens of cases in recent years in which concealed handgun permitholders stopped what, according to police, would have otherwise become mass public shootings. These good Samaritans saving the day would make gripping stories, but we don’t see much news on these cases. National entertainment television also fails to reveal the truth about these good Samaritans. [more...]

The Fate of Disney's Brand Hangs in the Balance

By James Hirsen

The Happiest Place on Earth is in pretty sad shape. A lot of folks, particularly some of the major shareholders and former diehard fans, are well aware of the predicament that The Walt Disney Company currently finds itself in. Not too long ago Disney pulled CEO Bob Chapek out of his post and brought back the company's former CEO, Bob Iger who now finds himself facing an extremely tough task – how to stop the deconstruction of the Disney brand before it's too late, and how to then lift the company back up out of the rubble. [more...]

David Horowitz: The Hard Truth About January 6

By David Horowitz, Author of Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last

According to a report by the Inspector General, Donald Trump offered to provide thousands of national guard troops to protect the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Trump was concerned about the possibility of trouble from fringe elements on the left and right who might see it as an occasion to cause trouble. His offer was rejected by Pelosi and the Democrats who instead provided a grossly under-manned Capitol police force instead. The under-manned force was unable to set up a defensive perimeter around the building, which is why there is extensive video footage showing Capitol police officers escorting demonstrators into the building.

The January 6th protest was milder than any of the hundreds of Black Lives Matter riots the summer before and led to no serious destruction of Capitol artifacts. But the Democrats en masse pretended to be horrified. They denounced the protest as an "armed insurrection" and compared it to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 and other enemy attacks on the United States which resulted in thousands of deaths.

When it was pointed out that no arms were found on the protesters, the Democrats simply dropped the term "armed” but still referred to the demonstration as an "insurrection” – i.e., treason. They made no effort to explain how one could mount an insurrection without arms. Obviously, one can’t. Nonetheless, they accused Trump of inciting the "insurrection” even though no Trump sentence could be twisted enough to substantiate the charge. Democrats condemned him and attempted to prosecute him and even consign him to public oblivion. They passed resolutions seeking to bar him from public office, also saying that no public building or monument should bear his name - not even "a park bench.”

To seal their indictment, they claimed that five Capitol police officers were killed during the protest. The actual number was zero. Two years later, Joe Biden and Hakeem Jeffries were making the same false claim. They even created a poster-boy to support their lie, claiming that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, was killed by a blow to the head from a fire extinguisher wielded by a protester during the January 6th event. In fact, no such incident occurred. Sicknick died on January 7th in his bed at home from natural causes.

Officer Sicknick was actually an ardent Trump supporter. This didn’t prevent the Democrats from staging a Potemkin-style funeral, bestowing the honor on Sicknick’s corpse of lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda while Democrat leaders praised and mourned him as a martyr killed by Trumpian insurrectionists while defending the Capitol.

Only one person was killed on January 6th – Ashli Babbitt – a forty-year-old five-foot tall, unarmed woman and 14-year Air Force veteran. She can be seen on videotape standing among several Capitol Police officers threatening no one, when an outstretched arm holding a firearm is also seen on the same tape taking aim at Ashli and murdering her in cold blood. The officer who pulled the trigger that ended Ashli Babbitt’s life was Officer Michael Byrd who had a history of mishandling firearms. Nancy Pelosi immediately stepped in and withheld his identity for a month, then quashed any investigation, made him a free man, and gave him a medal for defending the Capitol. Technically speaking, that would make Pelosi an accomplice to murder if Michael Byrd were tried and convicted in a court of law. But it also implicates the January 6th Committee and the Democrat leadership who knew the facts in the case but chose to suppress them.

This is what one expects from a fascist state, not a constitutional democracy. It is a lesson ignored at our peril in revealing the criminal determination of the Democrat Party to establish a one-party state at whatever the cost, and to demonize, intimidate and suppress any opposition that stands in their way, by any means necessary.

MLK Rejected Lies and Hypocrisies, So Should We

By Judd Dunning

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy is undeniably heroic. MLK openly rebuked Black and white American hypocrites, costing him his life. MLK's "content of their character" remarks remain among our noblest American meritocratic guideposts in life and political matters. Fundamentally and contractually, nobody is better than anyone else. Natural law and America's revolutionary Judeo-Christian-inspired Constitution enshrines this. [more...]

David Horowitz, one of America's most famous authors and conservative thought leaders, says in his new book, Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last: if you think you already know everything Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and their vile cronies have done to drive a stake into the heart of America, you don't know the half of it.

Murders are Becoming Even More Concentrated in a Handful of Urban Counties

By John Lott, Founder of Crime Prevention Research Center

New report argues 'murder isn’t a nationwide problem,' it's a problem in 'small set of urban areas'.

Murders in the U.S. are becoming increasingly concentrated in densely populated urban centers in just a handful of counties, according to a newly released report. Some 73% of all murders in the U.S. took place in just 5% of counties while 52% of all counties reported no murders at all, according to a Crime Prevention Research Center study published this week. "Murders in the United States occur in very small areas, and that concentration has increased since 2014," the study stated. "The concentration in 2020 is now greater than in 2010." [more...]

Will U.S. Attendees Oppose the WEF Plans for Global Tyranny in Davos?

By Scott Powell

What is surprising about the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos this week is the record number of U.S. Government officials in attendance. The agenda of Klaus Schwab's WEF is the dissolution of the nation state - with the U.S. in the crosshairs; an 85% reduction of the world's population; the end of freedom & private property; a socialist global economy based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rankings; the replacement of oil and gas with so-called "green" and sustainable sources of energy; the transformation of agriculture by radical reduction of nitrogen-based yield-enhancing fertilizers; the replacement of traditional money with social credit score-linked digital currency; and the requirement of universal digital health passports, to name only some of the tyrannical WEF objectives. So, why are so many high-level officials and representatives from the United States at the Davos WEF extravaganza this year? [more...]

The King of Hate Media

By Daniel Greenfield

Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts has used MSNBC’s hate machine to divide and slander America.

MSNBC ushered in Thanksgiving to its viewers by claiming that the holiday and the nation were built on genocide. "We are a country founded on violence. Our birth was violent," MSNBC's Joy Reid declared. It was another hateful lie about our country from a 24/7 hate network built on lies. America was not founded on violence, but on a revolutionary proclamation that all men are created equal and have a God-given right to liberty. By contrast, NBC’s takeover by Comcast was lubricated by a corrupt deal with hatemonger Al Sharpton who has described fellow racist Joy Reid as his "little sister." [more...]

Supply Chain Dependence Makes Reshoring Harder

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

Reshoring and "near-shoring" American supply chains out of Asia (namely, China) will be difficult due to the massive dependency on offshored manufacturers, a new McKinsey Global Institute report says. Importing economies rely on three or fewer nations for their main share of global trade. The U.S. imports primarily from China, Mexico, Canada, and Europe, but China sells us more goods than all three – which are more concentrated on commodities, autos, and pharmaceuticals. Since the Trump era on trade began in earnest in 2016 and continues to this day, the U.S. economy has not systematically diversified its origins of imports, according to the McKinsey report titled The Complication of Concentration in Global Trade. [more...]

The Power and Freedom of Always Remembering Our American Shadow

By Judd Dunning, Newsmax Columnist

Big government, big pharma, big tech, big media, big military and big business stray far from simply being individuals who care for us personally. They shall always remain dangerous as they scale in size and must always be monitored and kept in check. This is exactly what our founders set America up to do. If we deny the hard truth that man is flawed and thereby must be contained not by government but more deeply controlled by ethics, faith, and family, then we shall live in some kind of fantastical place of blind wishery. This is something that government alone simply cannot do in its inherently homogenizing blanket approach that must also slightly deaden our free souls first to control them later. As the famous psychologist Carl Jung warned so well, “Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, overall, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions." As one can see, in the words of Carl Jung, it is dangerous for America to deny her own shadow.

A Response to the Media on Brazil

By John Lott

Although one wouldn’t know it from the media coverage of gun control, the best social science has shown that law-abiding citizens frequently deter criminals. But when ideology trumps facts, policymakers are easily led astray. The latest example is occurring in Brazil, where massive increase in gun ownership in recent years has prompted gun control advocates to reinterpret the data in ways that conform to their political views. In his first act in office last Sunday, newly installed President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a decree freezing gun ownership and banning the sale of new ammunition. Lula also instituted other rules aimed at taking away the guns people acquired during the President Jair Bolsonaro administration.

Brazil's experiment in legal gun ownership is just the latest example of "more guns, less crime." Violent crime fell as criminals became afraid of armed citizens. But don't hold your breath for any news media outlets or gun control groups to admit they were wrong. [more...]

How the 118th U.S. Congress Could Deliver Lasting Results

By Scott Powell

With the Republican Party in control of the House of Representatives, GOP leadership must now do two things simultaneously: First, propose bills that solve big problems and have overwhelming support of most Americans. Second, investigate government corruption, malfeasance and violations of American citizens' Constitutional rights, and take steps for adjudication. The protracted debate and the accommodation of demands from the 20-some leaders of the Freedom Caucus by Kevin McCarthy as a precondition for his becoming speaker of the House provide the first real correctives to the broken system and protocols that have been in place in the House for decades. We will soon see if there is real substance to McCarthy’s character and leadership - manifest in supporting prosecutions, legal penalties, and impeachments rather than the form and political theater to which we have become accustomed. [more...]

CDC Sends Test to Teachers to Make Them An "Awesome Ally" of the LGBT Movement

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

The Centers for Disease Control has a program to turn any school official into an "Awesome Ally" of the LGBT movement. But what does this have to do with preventing disease?

They call themselves the Centers for Disease Control, but with their campaign to make teachers an "Awesome Ally" of the LGBT movement, a more fitting title might be the Centers for Mind Control. Mind manipulation is the new business of the CDC. Over the past few years, we've seen the agency relentlessly pursue mass reprogramming campaigns to change how Americans think, from spewing lies about the origins of COVID, to the "necessity" of face-masking, to the effectiveness and safety of COVID vaccines to... yes... the dangers of so-called structural racism.

Ideology, Profit Trampling Art in Hollywood

By James Hirsen

Over the past year, the gap between Hollywood and its customers has widened to a degree that should send shivers down the spines of every entertainment exec.

Second, investigate government malfeasance and violations of American citizens' Constitutional rights for the purpose of cleaning up government by recommending and pursuing penalties, prosecutions, and impeachments. It is time to hold accountable elected and appointed officials who failed to uphold their oath of office.

Biden Admin - Jews Visiting Holy Site is "Unacceptable"

By Daniel Greenfield

How do you make apartheid sound good? Just call it the "historic status quo."

Under Muslim rule, the historic status quo by the invaders was to ban Jews from their own holiest site, the Temple Mount. When Jerusalem was liberated, there was a vocal insistence by the Muslims who had launched a war to destroy the Jewish State and by the "international community" that Jews continue to be barred from their own holy site in the name of the "historic status quo." And if that sounds too unbelievable, here's Ned Price, Biden's State Department spokesman, saying that Jews must continue to be banned. [more...]

There is No Fun in Progressivism

By Mark Tapson

Totalitarians can dish it out, but they can’t take it.

"There is no fun in Islam," once declared the Ayatollah Khomenei, whose stern visage glowered down from posters plastered all over Iran after the 1979 revolution, as if daring anyone to crack a smile. The same could be said for today’s Progressivism which, like Islamic fundamentalism, is a totalitarian ideology. And today’s Democrats, like the Iranian mullahs, simply can't take a joke. They can't afford to, since successful totalitarianism depends on the total control of every aspect of people's lives, even – perhaps especially – their thoughts.
