KJP Show Wrap Up: The Week in Briefings with Hidin’ Biden in Delaware
With it being summer and the first presidential debate only eight days away, President Biden has been and will soon go into hibernation with trips to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and Camp David in Maryland, leaving only Monday and Tuesday for White House press briefings.

PBS Blows ‘Bloodbath’:‘Latest Example of Trump Using Violent Rhetoric'
By now everyone has heard that Donald Trump threatened U.S. democracy or something by predicting a “bloodbath” if he didn’t win election in November.

Fake News Jim, Legion of Dumb Cry Uncle Over Trump’s ‘Bloodbath’ Line
In an unfortunate move for the country, CNN’s morning programming reshuffle has meant subjecting their tens of viewers to an hour of Fake News Jim Acosta (as opposed to stashing him for a few hours on weekends).

Natasha Bertrand, Purveyor of Biggest 2020 Fake News, Promoted by CNN

MSNBC MELTS DOWN Over a Charter School Linking Up With Hillsdale
Last week on MSNBC, The 11th Hour with the not-so-bright host Stephanie Ruhle tag-teamed with leftist Twitter snob, raging hypocrite, and Hack Madness mainstay Judd Legum to throw a hysterical hissy fit over conservatives launching a charter school in South Carolina and Hillsdale College writing grade-school curriculums teaching students to — wait for it — love America.
Disney’s ABC Celebrates ‘Spectacular Failure’ DeSantis Losing to Trump
Unsurprisingly, Disney-owned ABC News was ebullient on Monday’s Good Morning America with the news from Sunday afternoon that Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) – who took on and embarrassed the Sunshine State behemoth — had dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, calling it an “implosion” and “spectacular failure” that hadn’t been seen in American history.
FLASHBACK: Media’s 10 Tackiest Attacks on George H. W. Bush
Five years ago this week, former President George H. W. Bush passed away at the age of 94.
