Dear legacy media journalists:

In light of your Scott Pelley lunatic antics; apparently, you all need a reality refresher. So as a public service to your cratering brand, here you go:

1- You do not run the company that employs you. The executive management runs the company, subject to oversight by the owners and/or the stockholders. You are not part of that oversight process.

2- The company that employees you does not owe you an explanation of everything they do, especially with regard to personnel matters. In fact, your own legal / HR department will tell you it is problematic to discuss personnel decisions beyond a need-to-know basis.

3- People don't care who reports the story - they care about the quality of the story. Reading a teleprompter put together by the production team that did the story isn't the galactic-level skill you may think it is.

4- This one should be obvious, but when journalists are the story versus reporting the story, you all failed.

5- When you run a story that is critical of an individual, administration, or institution; allowing the subject of the story to comment ahead of time is not "injecting political bias into the story." It's Journalism 101, which apparently is no longer taught in Journalism 101.

6- We really don't care what a "former producer" or a "former correspondent" thinks about anything. There's often a good reason they are a "former" something, and that reason usually undercuts their credibility.

7- This one also seems obvious, but you're subject to - and only subject to - the same employment laws that affect everyone else in every other business. When the First Amendment was written, the "press" referred to the printing press, not some special class of citizenry that is exempt from laws that affect everyone else.

8- When you have a show that suffered one of the worst scandals in journalism history - revolving around the literal forging of fake memos - don't tell us it's a gold standard that never had a blemish in its history. You just look dumb when you do that.

You're welcome.

NEW DRUG ALERT FOR DOGS – FDA JUST APPROVED A YEAR-LONG POISON INJECTION

Dr. Maginess is sounding the alarm on **Bravecto Quantum** — the new injectable PESTICIDE “flea & tick shot” that is causing SEIZURES and DEATH.

It pumps a pesticide straight into your dog’s body… and it lasts **12 full months**.

“As a veterinarian, I find this new drug deeply concerning. Injecting a pesticide into your dog that lasts a full year is a 12-month gamble with your dog’s nervous system. We already have documented seizures, tremors, even **fatalities** from drugs in this class.”

Once it’s in? You can’t just wash it off. You can’t reverse it. All you can do is watch and hope.

**Your dog’s blood becomes toxic for a YEAR.**
**Their nervous system pays the price.**

This isn’t protection — it’s Russian roulette with your best friend.

**DO NOT let your vet talk you into this.**
Share this before another dog suffers.

I hate when the Yankees lose, but I’m not sure there was an offense in baseball that was touching Misioroski tonight.

Whoever designed the sport of baseball didn’t remotely consider that one day we’d have guys throwing 104mph fastballs and 95mph sliders. Watching Misioroski pitch just breaks your brain.

Tip your cap and move on. Not going to see that guy again for the rest of the season.

Democrat Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers says the state's congressional map is gerrymandered for Republicans and needs to be redrawn. The only problem? HE DREW THE STATE'S CONGRESSIONAL MAP!

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

He won the Civil War, broke the Klan, went bankrupt at 62, got terminal throat cancer, and wrote one of the greatest books in American literature in the final year of his life. He finished it 5 days before he died.

Ulysses S. Grant was born 204 years ago today.

His name wasn't even Ulysses S. Grant. He was born Hiram Ulysses Grant in Point Pleasant, Ohio on April 27, 1822. The congressman who nominated him to West Point wrote down the wrong name. Grant kept it. The "S." stands for nothing.

He hated his father's tannery and loved horses. Graduated 21st of 39 at West Point. Fought in the Mexican-American War, then came home convinced it was an unjust war designed to expand slavery. He later said he believed the Civil War was divine punishment for it.

He married Julia Dent in 1848, into a slave-owning Missouri family. His abolitionist father refused to attend the wedding. In 1859, broke and desperate, Grant freed the one enslaved man he'd briefly owned instead of selling him. He could have gotten a year's wages.

In the Civil War he became what no other Union general was: relentless. Vicksburg (July 4, 1863) split the Confederacy in half. Lincoln then gave him every Union army. His Appomattox surrender terms: officers kept sidearms, men kept horses for spring planting, no one prosecuted.

As president (1869 to 1877) he did something no president would do again until LBJ: used federal troops to crush the Ku Klux Klan. He suspended habeas corpus in 9 South Carolina counties, prosecuted Klansmen before predominantly Black juries, and broke the first Klan.

His presidency was also rocked by scandal: Black Friday 1869. Crédit Mobilier. The Whiskey Ring. Belknap. Grant himself never took a dime. He was just disastrously loyal to corrupt friends. The pattern damaged his reputation for a century.

After the White House, he toured the world for 2 years. Dined with Queen Victoria. Met the emperor of Japan. Then in 1884, a Wall Street partner named Ferdinand Ward ran what we'd now call a Ponzi scheme. Grant was wiped out. 62 years old. Penniless.

Weeks later he was diagnosed with terminal throat cancer. Mark Twain offered to publish his memoirs. Grant wrote in agony, sometimes 50 pages a day, racing the disease to leave Julia an inheritance. He finished the manuscript July 18, 1885. He died July 23.

The book made Julia $450,000, about $14M today. It's now considered one of the finest memoirs in the English language. For decades historians ranked Grant a failure. Since 2000 he's jumped 13 spots in the C-SPAN survey, the biggest rise of any president.

Happy birthday, General 🇺🇸

8,334,319 registered voters in the state of Wisconsin as of today. Adult population: ~4,900,000.

Don't let anyone fool you if they say "oh, those include Inactives". Those Inactives can be flipped to Active in two clicks, one person with access could flip 50,000 in seconds.

AND, we have caught Inactives voting.

All of those registrants can cast a ballot. It is a pool the bad actors source from to then stuff ballots in.

They need a 1) name, 2) address, 3) voter ID and 4) be in the system.

That is why the bad actors need to know the vote count as soon as they can (hint: connected to the internet).

STOP voting early, STOP voting by mail. You are giving them exactly the information they need.

[The Corridor News @CorridorScanner]

The news coming out of Chicago this week is another stark warning for WISCONSIN:

As I said in my 2/17 post below:
"Wisconsin, you better buckle up for what Democrats are going to offer you on crime, law and order, and our judicial system.. all the while defunding the police and disincentivizing new recruits from wanting to join our police agencies because they don't feel supported by Democrat leadership. Dems will be letting criminals out on cash bail to commit more crimes with impunity, waving jail time all together, or allowing criminals to serve time on ankle monitors even for dangerous felonies.. People will be victimized, death is an inevitable part of this equation (the Dems will chalk it up as collateral damage) and businesses will suffer. Eventually people will flee because it gets too expensive, too dangerous, and these types of policies won't be able to defend you or your loved ones in a court of law because they are designed to support the criminal, not the victim. Life only gets more expensive and more dangerous for those who stay behind and choose not to flee."

Don't believe me? Do your own research. Look into the Illinois SAFE-T Act. Francesca Hong, Sarah Rodriguez and Mandela Barnes have all supported installing similar legislation here in Wisconsin. These Democrats look exactly like the Dems in Illinois. Do you really think Chris Taylor isn't going to uphold this type of dangerous legislation when challenged in court? Of course she will..

VOTE for @JudgeMariaLazar to ensure Wisconsin does NOT turn into ILLINOIS. 🚨 ELECTION DAY APRIL 7th 🚨

This is a chilling MUST-WATCH: Here's an Iranian man warning that Sharia law starts with unity between the left and Islamists.

VERY important to keep your eyes open.

Decades ago in Iran, we saw the same alliance between the left and Islam that is happening in the West ... and it's exactly how Iran became an Islamic theocracy.

REPOST for widespread exposure!

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

[STUNNER @Cr7Godbrand]

When a man says he wants a woman who brings him peace of mind, he doesn’t mean silence…he means safety.

He’s asking, “Can I take my armor off here, or do I have to fight you too?”

He wants calm. Not constant arguments. Not slander. Not nagging. He wants conversation, comfort, and a love that feels like rest not war. Not bickering.

He wants to come home to a warm hug, a kiss, and the feeling of home, not a battlefield. He wants you to talk to him, ask about him, trust him, tell him about your day, your thoughts, your dreams. He doesn’t want drama.

He wants a partner. You build together, struggle together, laugh together, cry together, and live together. The key word is together.

Care for him. Hug him. See him. Hear him. Make him feel valued and you’ll have his loyalty. He’ll stand for you with everything he has.

Men don’t fall in love with the woman who gives them the least trouble.
They fall in love with the woman who makes the war stop.

Without rugged individualism, there is no art. No poetry. No cultivation of God-given talent and genius. The “warmth of collectivism” is the putrid heat that emanates from the talentless and the resentful as they pull everyone down with them. No thanks!

I’ve been watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” since I was a kid, for over 30 years now.

But I just noticed that when Linus is reciting Luke 2:8-14—at the very moment he repeats the angel’s command to “Fear not”—he drops his security blanket.

Powerful.

"Antifa is cult-like in its ability to radicalize young people, transforming them into barbaric thugs who destroy communities and assault anyone who disagrees with them. And though they claim the mantle of being 'anti-fascist, their tactics are the very definition of fascism: suppressing dissent through violence, threats, and fear.

It's past time our leaders treat Antifa for what it is - a domestic terrorist organization dedicated to erasing our most fundamental freedoms."
