lonejustice చెప్పారు...: WASHINGTON — President Trump said Friday that he was banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House due to what he called unfavorable coverage, and threatened that more such media prohibitions could be coming — offering his administration's latest test of constitutional First Amendment protections guaranteeing the freedom of the press.

Trump, acting like Big Brother, is a true enemy of the First Amendment. Trump is now entering Joseph Stalin territory. Thank g_d we only have to endure 2 more years of him, and hopefully he will be impeached by both Republicans and Democrats. I have a dream that some day we will have a President Rubio or a President DeSantis.; 18-09-26 6:16 PM

Five major American companies competing for essentially the same market - Open AI, Anthropic, Google, SpaceX, Meta - while the Chinese open source models dumps all of them for, at minimum, the lower end of the value chain.

There's simply no way this magnitude of spending will post a half-decent ROI. I am fully convinced at this point that we will look back to this cycle and be utterly baffled at how the music played for so long. The only question is when it stops.; 18-09-26 6:21 PM

Dr Weevil చెప్పారు...: Why is there a dashed line between lonejustice's two paragraphs in the first comment? Is the first line quoted from someone else? If so, reproducing it without quotation marks, a link, or the name of the author is utterly dishonest, though other commenters here have done exactly that. (Speak of the devil! Here's IEE in the second comment, using banned italics, which usually signify quotations, and giving no link or name for his second quotation, like a common stinky under-bridge troll.)

lonejustice's first paragraph also contains a bald-faced lie. You can read Trump's statement here. He's not banning them "due to what he called unfavorable coverage". He explicitly says that it is "a result of their constantly 'reporting' FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES". Go to the link for more. It's not that the coverage is unfavorable, it's that it's dishonest.; 18-09-26 6:37 PM

Vance చెప్పారు...: I always thought that the 1st amendment protected media and journalists. But CNN, MSNOW, and Politico are in fact not journalists. They do not pretend to cover news. They are actually propaganda outfits, first and foremost, and readily lie and misstate things and do not actually tell the truth.

So how can they be considered journalists that the 1st amendment applies to? They openly act like Goebbels and Pravda, except it's voluntarily and not government coercion. They are, in short, Tokyo Rose. Can IEEE or lonejustice tell us why Tokyo Rose should be protected under the 1st Amendment? Instead of being droned and bombed?; 18-09-26 6:54 PM
boatbuilder చెప్పారు...: Crude oil prices have dropped 3 days in a row. When gas prices drop, the price of gas will no longer be discussed by the MSM. They will move on.
As an FYI: "The national average retail price of eggs is $2.27 as of August 2026, while major discount retailers like Walmart and ALDI price standard dozen cartons between $1.67 and $1.85." That's from the Federal Reserve. Remember when the price of eggs was the most important thing facing the country? And it was all Trump's fault?

john mosby చెప్పారు...: Actual elected officials don't get to show up in the White House whenever they want. Neither the governing nor opposition party, at any level. People that were voted in by thousands or millions of Americans can't just rock up to 1600 Penna at will.

Yet these fuckos think possession of an oligopolistic broadcasting license bought 70 years ago, or working for a Mexican billionaire's money-losing agitprop project, entitles them to permanent residence in the place.

Just another example of equal rights becoming special rights.

If the press win, Trump should buy a network as soon as he gets out of office and demand his reporters be credentialed for the WH press pool. Then he should show up every day, as the only reporter. CC, JSM

Secretly strongarming major internet search providers to "shadowban" and otherwise "deplatform" voices expressing views contrary to those desired by the president and his party, on the other hand, would be Stalinistic behavior of the worst kind, a true affront to the First Amendment, and an existential threat to the survival of our republic. .

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: Trump declares victory in historic deal with Greenland as he secures 'permanent' US military rights ~ FOX. News

Is this Trump rebranding the status quo and declaring victory…?

A 1951 U.S.-Denmark defense treaty already gives the United States extensive military access to Greenland. It allows the U.S., in designated defense areas, to develop and improve military facilities, install and maintain equipment, station personnel, provide security, and control the movement of ships and aircraft all while explicitly preserving Danish sovereignty. The agreement remains in force for the duration of NATO. In other words, much of what Trump has portrayed as requiring a new concession was already authorized under the existing framework.; 18-09-26 7:38 PM
MadTownGuy చెప్పారు...: What's the deal with Butler County, PA?

Pa. youth known to FBI for ‘mass casualty threat’ arrested on terror charges

"(WKBN) – A Butler County man who was known to investigators when he was a teen as being involved in the planning of a “mass casualty” incident has been arrested in an alleged terror plot.

Jonathan Hunter Kramer, 21, of Valencia, is charged with receiving a firearm and ammunition knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that the firearm and ammunition would be used to commit a felony or a federal crime of terrorism, including providing, attempting to provide, and conspiring to provide material support or resources to a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

Hunter was arrested over the weekend at a hotel in Cranberry Township, where FBI agents seized a semiautomatic rifle, three 30-round capacity rifle magazines and five boxes of rifle ammunition from his hotel room.

Investigators were tipped off to Hunter’s movements beginning in March 2026 after he was released from a Pennsylvania juvenile detention facility and resumed “troubling behavior.”

Kramer had been using the online persona of “Hamza Al Rashid,” who claimed affiliation with ISIS, according to investigators, and offered to share explosive manuals with others, and expressed his intent to prepare for his “mission” and that he was just missing a “weapon.”

On Sept. 12, the FBI said they observed Kramer buy a disposable phone at a retail store and meet an individual in the parking lot where he acquired a long black bag from the trunk of a vehicle. Investigators then followed Kramer to a sporting goods store, where they say they saw him at the gun counter.

When he returned to the hotel parking lot, FBI agents approached Kramer while he carried two bags containing the contents of his purchase from the sporting goods store. The FBI executed federal search warrants on Kramer’s person, hotel room, and residence. Agents seized a semiautomatic rifle, five rifle magazines (two loaded and the other three each offering a 30-round capacity), a rifle bipod and scope, a total of 190 rounds of rifle ammunition, an entrenchment tool, a prayer rug, pepper spray, and approximately 30 knives, along with a handwritten note stating, “DoNt look For me. [IDK what I did buT I cant live In constant Fear.”

“Kramer was taken into custody just as he appeared to be preparing for a mass shooting that could have taken many lives, having already secured a rifle and approximately 190 rounds of ammunition for what he called his ‘mission,’” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Eisenberg. “His apparent ISIS inspiration and escalation toward violence show how close this country came to a devastating attack. This arrest prevented what could have been a horrific tragedy.”

Kramer is being held without bond by federal authorities.

In 2023, Kramer, then a minor, was charged and adjudicated delinquent for his role in a plot to commit a mass casualty incident and for possessing child sexual abuse material, according to a criminal complaint."; 18-09-26 8:01 PM

Dr Weevil చెప్పారు...: IEE's warmed-over anti-Trump talking point (7:38pm) has already been refuted on Twitter, by @MattMorseTV (link):
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
“Trump’s new deal with Greenland is exactly the same as the old one!”

Not true at all. Key new details:

Duration: The 1951 deal lasted only as long as NATO existed and Greenland remained part of NATO. Trump’s 2026 deal lasts indefinitely, even if NATO implodes or Greenland becomes independent.

New Military Bases: In the 1951 deal, the U.S. could establish “defense areas” in Greenland only if Denmark gave the go-ahead. In Trump’s 2026 deal, the U.S. can establish military installations as it sees fit, with or without Denmark’s approval.

Third Countries: In the 1951 deal, Denmark retained the right to allow foreign nations, like China, to establish a presence in Greenland. Trump’s 2026 deal explicitly forbids foreign nations from doing anything in Greenland without U.S. approval.

Foreign Investments: The 1951 deal placed no restrictions on foreign nations making investments in Greenland, such as port build-outs, critical mineral mining, or undersea cable installations. Trump’s 2026 deal requires U.S. approval before foreign nations can invest in Greenland.

Simply put, Trump’s new Greenland deal is an absolutely massive geopolitical accomplishment, further establishing America’s dominance over the Western Hemisphere.

$4.69 𝘪𝘯 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 @$4.80 𝘪𝘯 𝘕𝘠

I paid $4.09 yesterday- but that was at BJ's. At the nearest thruway exit the two truck stops and the other 2 convenience stores nearby were uniform on price for the first time in 2 weeks- undiscounted price $4.49. If you're not paying 10¢ less than that you're doing it wrong. Getting the app also means discounts on other things in the attached truck stop store that you might buy. And $4.49 is as high as it's been, and I'm certain gas was higher under Biden. I know eggs were.

Diesel, OTOH, seems out of sight high. Which bodes ill for my heating costs this season. #2 fuel oil, road diesel, and kerosene are all essentially the same. Anything tuned for #2 can burn road diesel and kerosene, and anything tuned for diesel can burn kerosene. And anything tuned for those 3 can burn JP-5. But I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with us needing to import finished product because crazy Democrat enviroterrorists using domestic laws passed by Democrats have ensured we cannot refine enough diesel here to fill domestic leads.

Trump may therefore be putting the biggest possible gloss on what has been negotiated. The US already had extensive military access to Greenland under the longstanding 1951 defense agreement, while Denmark has repeatedly said that greater US and NATO security cooperation is welcome but sovereignty itself is not negotiable.

Until the actual agreement is published, there’s an important difference between “the US gets an expanded and permanent military role in Greenland” and “the US has permanent control over Greenland’s security.” Trump is claiming the latter; the Danish statement, so far, supports something much closer to the former.; 18-09-26 9:39 PM

"The U.S. will now have permanent access, basing and overflight rights in Greenland and the ability to establish additional military installations as needed, according to a senior U.S. official who outlined the deal exclusively to Fox News Digital.

The deal bars China, Russia and other non-NATO countries from establishing military bases or maintaining troops in Greenland. It also restricts adversaries from investing in sensitive sectors that could pose a threat to U.S. national security."

"Greenland will forever be part of the strategic defense area of North America and exclude any adversary from it and the surrounding area," Rubio said. "This deal permanently and completely addresses our national security concerns in Greenland."

so, it's ours.. it's ours, FOREVER; 19-09-26 2:36 AM

Marcus Bressler చెప్పారు...: Only a miniscule portion of the USPS transportation fleet uses diesel. The very small amount of interstation trucks use diesel; the rest of your common letter carrier vehicles use gasoline. Only HCR (Highway Contract Route) truckers use diesel; they are private contractors. And their contracts are locked in for each rate cycle IIRC. You could argue that they pass on that cost to the USPS but you never mention the airlines that carry the vast amount of mail don't use diesel fuel either. Get your facts straight. The USPS loses billions of dollars a year, mostly by Congressional laws passes that requires them to pre-fund all retirement and healthcare costs for existing employees in the future now instead of when they retire. The Unions and poor management and the internet make up the rest of the losses. Thank God they didn't go Biden's electric fleet.; 19-09-26 6:02 AM
Saint Croix చెప్పారు...: I think Christopher Rufo nailed it on Bill Maher's show last night.

It's a bad move because Trump is at his best when he's in combat with liberals and fighting with them. Plus now you give them street cred as free speech martyrs. And it makes Trump look afraid of his critics, which is ridiculous. Dumb move. We're the free speech party.; 19-09-26 6:15 AM
Big Mike చెప్పారు...: If we’re going to argue over diesel fuel costs we need to establish what kind of diesel fuel we mean. There was a big push for bio-diesel during the Biden administration, and something like 5 or 6 refineries converted from producing petroleum-based diesel fuel to exclusively producing bio-diesel. But right now bio-diesel is 70 to 80 cents a gallon more costly. So @Gospace, when you complain about the cost of diesel are you taking petroleum-based diesel or bio-diesel? There’s a difference.; 19-09-26 6:23 AM
Saint Croix చెప్పారు...: Trump is now entering Joseph Stalin territory.

I don't know if anybody else is tracking this strange medical condition known as TDS. It's kind of bizarre as it's moving from right to left.

"He's Hitler."

to

"He's a rapist."

to

"I don't like his architectural blueprints"

to

"Now he's promising $5,000 welfare payments to every American"

to

"He's Stalin."

We're in our 10th year of TDS, of course. We had four bonus years of TDS, even when he was out of office. Full recovery by 2029? Maybe.

Or we might see a fresh outbreak of a dangerous new disease. Vance Derangement Syndrome (VDS). Or Rubio Derangement Syndrome (RDS).

I'm hoping it's RDS and liberals discover a strange antipathy to all of South America. I'm looking forward to insults in Spanish. I'm going to put a "Vaya con Dios" bumper sticker on my car.; 19-09-26 6:32 AM

Breezy చెప్పారు...: Those are good points, Saint Croix. A couple responses -

1. There are journalists that are paid by elites such as Reid Hoffman to propagandize rather than do actual journalism. Trump doesn’t have to give them a forum to do that. Plus, having to continually respond to bs questions in the press room wastes everyone’s time

2. Given all that Trump has endured, often as a happy warrior, there are not many people who think he is actually afraid of his critics.

3. Free speech is not curtailed. The news sites can speechify at will. They just have limited access to question the administration directly and get their mugs on camera. There’s plenty of info they can get indirectly about the admin and/or make stuff up and “report” it widely. .; 19-09-26 6:47 AM

Gerda Sprinchorn చెప్పారు...: "Carney says the average vehicle crosses the border up to eight times before reaching a showroom."

I don't understand this, and I suspect I don't understand it because it doesn't make sense.

A vehicle isn't "a vehicle" until it is fully assembled. Once a vehicle is assembled, it is shipped to a dealership, but it should only cross the border once. Maybe twice. Or, more likely zero times. How can it cross the border 8 times?

Do they mean that vehicle parts cross the border a lot? But vehicle parts aren't vehicles. They are parts of vehicles.

So, what is Carney talking about?; 19-09-26 7:00 AM

MadTownGuy చెప్పారు...: Pa. youth known to FBI for ‘mass casualty threat’ arrested on terror charges

"(WKBN) – A Butler County man who was known to investigators when he was a teen as being involved in the planning of a “mass casualty” incident has been arrested in an alleged terror plot.

Jonathan Hunter Kramer, 21, of Valencia, is charged with receiving a firearm and ammunition knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that the firearm and ammunition would be used to commit a felony or a federal crime of terrorism, including providing, attempting to provide, and conspiring to provide material support or resources to a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

Hunter was arrested over the weekend at a hotel in Cranberry Township, where FBI agents seized a semiautomatic rifle, three 30-round capacity rifle magazines and five boxes of rifle ammunition from his hotel room.

Investigators were tipped off to Hunter’s movements beginning in March 2026 after he was released from a Pennsylvania juvenile detention facility and resumed “troubling behavior.”

Kramer had been using the online persona of “Hamza Al Rashid,” who claimed affiliation with ISIS, according to investigators, and offered to share explosive manuals with others, and expressed his intent to prepare for his “mission” and that he was just missing a “weapon.”

On Sept. 12, the FBI said they observed Kramer buy a disposable phone at a retail store and meet an individual in the parking lot where he acquired a long black bag from the trunk of a vehicle. Investigators then followed Kramer to a sporting goods store, where they say they saw him at the gun counter.

When he returned to the hotel parking lot, FBI agents approached Kramer while he carried two bags containing the contents of his purchase from the sporting goods store. The FBI executed federal search warrants on Kramer’s person, hotel room, and residence. Agents seized a semiautomatic rifle, five rifle magazines (two loaded and the other three each offering a 30-round capacity), a rifle bipod and scope, a total of 190 rounds of rifle ammunition, an entrenchment tool, a prayer rug, pepper spray, and approximately 30 knives, along with a handwritten note stating, “DoNt look For me. [IDK what I did buT I cant live In constant Fear.”

“Kramer was taken into custody just as he appeared to be preparing for a mass shooting that could have taken many lives, having already secured a rifle and approximately 190 rounds of ammunition for what he called his ‘mission,’” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Eisenberg. “His apparent ISIS inspiration and escalation toward violence show how close this country came to a devastating attack. This arrest prevented what could have been a horrific tragedy.”

Kramer is being held without bond by federal authorities.

In 2023, Kramer, then a minor, was charged and adjudicated delinquent for his role in a plot to commit a mass casualty incident and for possessing child sexual abuse material, according to a criminal complaint."; 19-09-26 7:14 AM
Saint Croix చెప్పారు...: Breezy, I agree with your points, more or less. I definitely think White House passes is an Article 2 call, not an Article 3 call. Nonetheless, I think it’s a bad call. Free speech is fun, damn it.; 19-09-26 7:16 AM

Carney is playing a bad hand well. Ultimately, Carney knows Canada cannot easily decouple from the U.S. The two economies are deeply intertwined, with supply chains—particularly in autos crossing the 5,525-mile border repeatedly during production. In fact, Carney says the average vehicle crosses the border up to eight times before reaching a showroom.

Carney is a globalist traitor doing the bidding of his masters and selling the Canadian people out to keep the British Empire in place.

Fortunately all Carney can really do is destroy the Canadian economy and force the US to build all of those car parts here using steel and aluminum produced here.

Alberta and Saskatchewan are going to leave the parasites in Ottawa and Quebec as well.

Carney is going to have a rough time in the history books. He will be right there with people like Merz and Macron and Starmer.; 19-09-26 7:19 AM

**The Biden administration instituted a new system for White House hard passes that reduced total credentialed press members from over 1,400 to roughly 975. More than 440 reporters lost their routine physical access passes during the transition to the updated rules. The administration also adjusted physical movement rules, requiring appointments to access certain upper press areas.**

Until the actual agreement is published, there’s an important difference between “the US gets an expanded and permanent military role in Greenland” and “the US has permanent control over Greenland’s security.” Trump is claiming the latter; the Danish statement, so far, supports something much closer to the former.

But this retard can't understand why the Strait of Hormuz is closed.; 19-09-26 7:24 AM

Mason G చెప్పారు...: "Rusty, correct me if I’m mistaken but didn’t Trump campaign on a belief he’s held for 40 years that roughly says “Iran must never have a nuclear weapon” and committed us to enforce that policy?"

Barack Obama:

"Among U.S. policymakers, there’s never been disagreement on the danger posed by an Iranian nuclear bomb. Democrats and Republicans alike have recognized that it would spark an arms race in the world’s most unstable region, and turn every crisis into a potential nuclear showdown. It would embolden terrorist groups, like Hezbollah, and pose an unacceptable risk to Israel, which Iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened to destroy. More broadly, it could unravel the global commitment to non-proliferation that the world has done so much to defend.

The question, then, is not whether to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but how. Even before taking office, I made clear that Iran would not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon on my watch, and it’s been my policy throughout my presidency to keep all options -- including possible military options -- on the table to achieve that objective."; 19-09-26 10:55 AM

Denmark was advocating a constructive approach to strengthening Arctic security back in January, while making clear that it had a different position on Trump’s push for U.S. control of Greenland.

Dr Weevil చెప్పారు...: Is IEE really this stupid, or is he playing dumb? How many times do people here and on Twitter and on lots of other websites have to explain how Trump operates, before he figures it out? It's called 'The Art of the Deal': he wrote a whole book about it! To get what you want, you ask for a lot more, and then negotiate and graciously accept much less than you're asking for, but much more than you would have got without asking for more than that. Duh!

The fact is that Trump got everything he wanted and needed from Denmark by asking for a lot more, including things he didn't actually want or need, like any responsibility to keep the native Greenlanders fed and healthy.; 19-09-26 1:19 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: If there's a signed document we'll need to compare it to the 1951 Defense of Greenland agreement which "shall remain in effect for the duration of the North Atlantic Treaty." https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/den001.asp; 19-09-26 2:16 PM
Leland చెప్పారు...: The new document holds even if NATO doesn’t, which is the entire point. For instance, NATO is doing nothing to protect safe transit of oil to Europe, such as protecting sea lanes. This after closing many nuclear plants to bet on green energy and making most of Europe dependent on Russian oil and gas, which encouraged Russia to make a move on Ukraine. To hide European incompetence, the leaders blame Trump.; 19-09-26 2:22 PM
Dr Weevil చెప్పారు...: And once again, IEE makes the most anti-Trump possible statement he can make, shifting his ground to do so, without addressing any of the objections to his previous statements. Again, he's a proven retailer of talking points, and almost certainly paid to express them.; 19-09-26 2:32 PM
Leland చెప్పారు...: Gavin Newsom signs bill banning other states from sending national guard troops to California to help in emergencies such as earthquakes and wildfires. The state legislature and executive thought this was a good idea that needed to get done, so they did.; 19-09-26 2:57 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: Ah yes, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘭: demand sovereignty, threaten to take Greenland, and then declare victory when Denmark agrees to a security arrangement that it had already been saying it was willing to negotiate.

The inconvenient detail is that Denmark and Greenland are describing the result rather differently. They say the agreement strengthens security cooperation while preserving Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. The actual agreement still has to be signed and go through parliamentary procedures.

And the United States already had extensive military rights in Greenland under the 1951 defense agreement including the ability to develop defense areas, build and operate facilities, station personnel and control military movements, all explicitly without prejudice to Danish sovereignty.

So perhaps the sophisticated negotiating masterstroke was to ask for Greenland, get a strengthened security agreement, and then announce that this proves you got everything you wanted. That certainly is one way to write the deal memo.; 19-09-26 3:58 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: Trump and MAGA are busy declaring victory over Greenland while the Middle East security order is coming under extraordinary strain. There is something distinctly on-brand about announcing the triumph in one theater while the strategic situation deteriorates in another.; 19-09-26 4:07 PM

More importantly--Trump's deal holds even if the US drops out of NATO.
