Political correctness being perpetuated..

[Moonglow]

Have you heard of this one, from AFD?

The next absurdity from Berlin: Syrians with protected status will soon be allowed to travel to their homeland "under strict conditions". Yes, you read it correctly - the country from which they allegedly had to flee should now become a legitimate holiday destination! What is supposed to be a clear asylum ground – the escape from war and persecution – will thus become the entry ticket for tax-financed home holidays. It is clear for every thinking citizen: Whoever can return without fear was never in danger.​

This decision is not only a mockery to those truly in need of protection, but a devastating signal to all who exploit our asylum system. While many Germans suffer from the explosive violent crime - often practiced by so-called "protection seekers" - the state is now also rewarding these groups with travel subsidies to their supposedly so dangerous homeland. How about CSU? She suddenly appears to be the opposition, even though she has been with this policy for years​

Do they wear their sandals on cold days in the winter?

CBS’s “60 Minutes” was widely regarded not long ago as the gold standard of broadcast journalism. Regrettably, not so much anymore.

With the luxury of long-form, in-depth reporting rather than the typical mainstream media hit-and-run headline-and-sound-bite journalism, “60 Minutes” presented thorough, thoughtful and evenhanded reports on controversial topics.
In the past several years, “60 Minutes” has all too often aired reports with a left-wing bias nearly indistinguishable from what you would find on MSNBC.
This past Sunday, correspondent Scott Pelley narrated a 13-minute segment titled “28 Days” about the first four weeks of President Trump’s second term.
The show’s opening tease — with its trademark stopwatch ticking, in this case almost as if it were a time bomb — previewed the ominous tone of the report this way: “It’s too soon to tell how serious President Trump is in defiance of the Constitution, but in just 28 days, he’s reinterpreted the 14th Amendment and closed agencies that Congress mandated by law.”

Mr. Pelley devoted not so much as a single word to the widely publicized list of USAID programs that squandered hundreds of millions of dollars on wasteful and fraudulent programs abroad, many promoting radical diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and LGBTQ agendas. He then doubled down by letting leftist Georgetown law professor Steve Vladeck dismiss what he called Mr. Trump’s and Mr. Musk’s “claims of fraud” to be just “fig leafs” to mask a power grab.

From gold standard to fool’s gold: How ‘60 Minutes’ lost its journalistic integrity

Shari Redstone kept tabs on ‘60 Minutes’ segments on Trump

Tensions between CBS and parent company Paramount culminated in the resignation of a longtime producer this week.

Shari Redstone kept tabs on ‘60 Minutes’ segments on Trump
Paramount owner Shari Redstone in recent days sought to know which upcoming 60 Minutes stories were about President Donald Trump, according to two people familiar with the situation — triggering a series of events that ended with the Tuesday resignation of the show’s longtime producer.

Producer Bill Owens resigned abruptly this week, complaining that he no longer had the editorial independence to run the iconic Sunday evening news show.
Ouch: Wednesday’s release of the raw “60 Minutes” interview of Kamala Harris proves beyond a doubt that the once-respected news outlet covered for her big-time; how does CBS News earn its reputation back now?

Like all too many legacy media operations, it needs to clear out the partisan rot.

It can start by booting “60 Minutes” head producer Bill Owens, who has made all too many bad calls.

And? I saw the segment. It was dead on. In fact, in some respects, it went fairly light.

You're mad because there are people and organizations questioning the decisions and integrity of the President.
This is why I call him your savior. This man can literally do no wrong in your eyes. You and people like you would see this country returned to the dark ages. All for what?...a tax cut? Because that's what all the "waste" and "fraud" is ultimately about.

Obviously then YOU didn't follow the links! Any idiot that makes a statement... "follow his links"... means if you do
and you don't check other sources, you are a dummy! Case in point...
FACTCHECK.org summary!!!
Like the first volume, the second one was used to promote education and exchange programs. And, incidentally, it won two awards in 2023, including comic of the year, from a Peruvian organization called Chronicles of Diversity.
The funding for this project didn’t come from USAID, either, but, again, from the State Department.
So, funding for three of the four projects highlighted by the White House came from the State Department for funding cultural activities on behalf of various embassies.

Sorting Out the Facts on 'Waste and Abuse' at USAID - FactCheck.org

As President Donald Trump's administration targets the U.S. Agency for International Development for closure or major downsizing, the White House and social media posts have highlighted four projects as examples of the agency's "waste and abuse." But only one was funded by USAID.

Folks this proves that "Slow brain snow head" didn't check other sources! Made his totally uninformed comments based on ignorance!
AGAIN.. regardless of USAID or the state department it was wasted use of OUR TAX MONEY!

Hey you are so wrong!
Let me state emphatically! I personally don't like Trump's narcissism, braggart, and nouveau riche (for some of you... that's "people who have recently acquired wealth, typically those perceived as ostentatious or lacking in good taste."

My personal perception though is not as important as my experiences working with people that get things done, such as Trump has done. While he maybe personally dislikable...HE GETS THINGS done!
More importantly I strongly prefer a Executive that executes what the majority of practical, day to day people care for.

For example, I've a relative that came from Ukraine and is now a LEGAL American citizen having done it all LEGALLY! Rather than encouraging law breaking illegal immigrants as Biden's "Surge to the border" statement that "In March 2025, the Border Patrol data shows that around 7,180 southwest border crossings were recorded, a dramatic drop compared to the monthly average of 155,000 from the previous four year."March numbers show most secure border in history - operational control is becoming a reality
All because Dislikable Trump gets things done!
So grow up! Quit whimpering like a little kid ,sobbing," "whimper," "bawl," or "blubber."
Look beyond the fact Trump is NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT... but is an executive, not a politician!

Please. Your man-love of Trump is all over this post. I feel the need to take a shower.
The man isn't anything but what he is. A grifter. A cancer. An incompetent moron.
He hasn't gotten anything done...except clear enough low hanging expenses for his big, beautiful tax cut...which is the only thing that matters.

You have this bad habit of "flooding the zone" with the same crap post after post. I'm assuming you do it because you think people will get tired of responding to it and picking it apart.

Trump is whimpering every time he blames Biden for his own mistakes.

Trump is whimpering every time he blames Biden for his own mistakes.

Hey Biden made so many mistakes that these two statements are such perfect examples of what a piss poor president Biden was!
Biden statement!
Biden said or "I would, in fact, make sure that there is, we immediate surge to the border, "
The results:
Under President Biden’s watch, there have been over 8 million migrant encounters nationwide, 6.7 million of which have been at the Southwest border.
Worse yet, over 1.7 million known gotaways—illegal immigrants who have evaded Border Patrol— are now living in the interior of the United States without documentation and without having undergone any vetting by immigration officials.

Biden statement!
I GUARANTEE WE ARE GOING TO GET RID OF FOSSIL FUELS

Highest gas price in history..
The highest national average gas price in U.S. history was $5.02 per gallon, recorded on June 14, 2022,

AAA Fuel Prices

These two statements did the most harm to our country and our economy of ANY president in history!
And then under Biden Total inflation since he took office grew to 17.1 percent
This was the highest monthly inflation figure in roughly 40 years

But then remember Biden did this all the while he wasted this!
n fiscal year 2023, USAID managed over $40 billion in combined appropriations, according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS).

60 Minutes never fully recovered from Dan Rather's 2004 bogus manufactured evidence to smear George W. Bush's military record. CBS fired Rather but never fully denounced the phony evidence and Dan Rather continues to stand by that report 21 years later.

They certainly did not help themselves by airing a bogus interview with Kamala Harris.

PC is just a gimmick to control speech and the narrative and provide ammo to punish/silence poltiical opposition.

It is damaging to American culture and damning to the media and pols who perpetuate it. But it is just the tip of the iceberg of the credibility problems that it represents.
