This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook—dismantle the institutions that inform the public, then replace them with state-aligned propaganda channels. Attacking NPR and PBS—two of the most balanced, publicly accountable, and non-commercial media organizations in the country—isn’t about fighting bias; it’s about silencing independent thought and scrutiny. Trump doesn’t want neutrality—he wants obedience.
Calling journalists “monsters” strips them of humanity and cues supporters to treat them like enemies of the state.
Enemy Framing: The phrase “radical left” is a dog whistle with no consistent meaning, used to rally fear and tribal loyalty.
Distraction: While elites rewrite laws, evade taxes, and consolidate power, the public is told to focus their rage on media outlets that still expose the truth.
This picture of Hutch may go unnoticed by some, but pay attention to the Latin words on his shirt, “Resurget Cineribus” — To Rise from the ashes.
History Lesson:
For those who may find this puzzling, in 1805, the entire city of Detroit burned to the ground, leaving only one building standing. In the aftermath, Territorial Judge Augustus Woodward devised a street plan modeled after Washington, D.C. The layout mirrored the design of the nation’s capital, featuring diagonal streets radiating like the spokes of a wheel.
On the Detroit City Flag, the inscription reads, “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” translating to “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” The City of Detroit literally rose from the ashes, symbolizing rebirth and resilience.
The city motto and the sports teams share a profound connection, especially in recent years with the consistent rebuilding efforts of each team. The Lions embody the essence of the motto, “Rise from ashes.” Just three years ago, the Detroit Lions had a first-year coach, an underrated quarterback, and a dismal 3-13-1 record. Today, they stand just one game away from a Super Bowl appearance.
So when the nation wonders why this Lions’ journey is so extraordinary, it’s because it mirrors the unique spirit of Detroit. Through unwavering determination and hard work, we rebuild until the product is perfected. Throughout history, there have been moments when Detroit moved the world, and now, once again, the city and its football team rise from the ashes to inspire us all.

There are like ten different mics around the field. I want every single one amplified on that 2 point play and I want the goddamn CIA to analyze it with voice matching and then I want that refs head on a spike
