CBS bosses ordered icon Scott Pelley to broadcast flat-out lies to please Trump. He refused, sacrificed his 37-year career, walked out, and exposed the censorship. Read his final words: 👇

Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
a critical moment for us media. this is exactly what happened in turkey with erdogans initial rise to power. regime loyalists bought up all the private media outlets.
Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.
And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.
I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!
39 percent of Albertans say they would leave the province if it became an independent country. Another 19 percent say they would think seriously about it. The recklessness of our Premier for facilitating this referendum is truly breathtaking. #FightBackNow https://t.co/wkXPbLnlDN
Absolute clownery. We are at war. He’s not in the Middle East assuring allies, coordinating operations, or overseeing operations. No. He’s cosplaying as a real warrior. An Infantry officer who didn’t graduate Ranger School so he has to dress up like the actual qualified soldiers that did.
Putin lied at the SPIEF today, claiming Russia's economy has merely dropped to European levels.
Russia has never been at European levels.
The reality is an unsustainable, high-inflation war machine hiding behind highly manipulated statistics.
Comparing the Russian economy to Europe is an absolute joke. In terms of nominal GDP per capita, Russia sits at a mere fraction of Western European levels, lagging far behind the continent. Furthermore, official Russian statistics cannot be trusted. The Kremlin routinely fabricates economic metrics to mask its decline, publishing an official inflation rate that is way lower than reality.
The financial structure is completely broken. Russia is forced to maintain a staggering 14.5% interest rate. Its debt is vastly more expensive than European debt. The country simply could not survive the debt and deficit levels common in Europe, because servicing those liabilities at such punitive rates would trigger an immediate fiscal collapse.
The current economic model is entirely unsustainable. While unprecedented public spending on military manufacturing artificially inflates short-term output, genuine economic growth remains low and private investment has dried up. Russia is steadily cannibalizing its long-term future to fund a failing war, trapped in an escalating loop of high borrowing costs and soaring real-world prices
"Weiss was installed at CBS News as a compliant mouthpiece for the Trump-allied Ellisons, who bought Paramount and now need government approval for a merger that would also hand them control of CNN." - Brian Tyler Cohen https://t.co/1IMsLgXYAz
Trump wants to give $1.776B we paid in taxes to these people: “At least 97 of the more than 1,500 individuals granted clemency by President Trump for their roles in the January 6 Capitol attack have been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of crimes separate from Jan. 6 since their participation in the Jan. 6 riot.” https://t.co/L7GMWpaoNA
Ross Ulbricht founded a black market for drugs, illegal guns, and assassination services.
At least 6 people died because of his website.
Trump gave him a full pardon.
Schröder and Orbán are some of Europe’s biggest traitors.
Both have weakened Europe and strenghened Russia.
Both have legitimized the genocide Russia is committing in Ukraine.
They have lots of blood on their hands
I wish @CNN would have the guts to make a documentary about the Jan 6 people Donald Trump pardoned and the crimes they committed or planned AFTER being pardoned. It is a shocking list for anyone who researches this.
