Good News Friday
July 26, 2024
Dear Patriot,
WOW! Did you see that? It is AMAZING! We told you it was going to happen but it happened faster than we thought.
Kamala went from The Queen of Word Salads, a cackling joke of a Veep, and an embarrassingly arrogant, radical far-left politician, to the hippest woman since Hillary Clinton… in just one day. The DriveByFakeNews is working overtime to get you to believe many lies about their newly appointed cardboard figure.
Have they convince you? We bet they have not.
The good news is, a majority of Americans do not watch, much less believe, any of the corporate media.
AND, there are ways around it. There are at least 30 great podcasts to listen to weekly. Of course, this newsletters gives you a lot of truthful information.
Meanwhile, the book written by Senator J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy has sold 600,000 copies in the last 10 days.
The film based on it, has been a Top 10 movie on Netflix for 10 days.
J.D. Vance has an extraordinary American story. It is one not told very often. How does a poor white boy with not a lick of white privilege rise out of generational property and substance abuse? Is it possible? Yes, Vance proves it.
Millions of Americans are getting directly exposed to his story of hope and resilience, without the negative spin of FakeNews.
THAT is GOOD news!

We have the good news agenda.
Kamala Harris’s First Campaign Ad Touts Abortion, Trans Pride, Trump Lawfare, and Beyoncé
QUOTE: The Harris for President campaign launched its first official video Thursday. The drop came less than a week after the defenestration of President Joe Biden was completed and Kamala Harris anointed in his place.
The ad titled “We Choose Freedom” first aired on her social media channels and touts her as a “peacemaker” as opposed to the “fear and chaos” inferred on her opponent.
It opens with various images of Harris smiling behind a podium, the word Kamala echoing along with the word Harris. The American flag is also a feature, so too the pride flags in the footage which are “Progress Pride” flags with trans colors.
The soundtrack is the beginning of Beyoncé’s song Freedom, to which Harris reportedly entered and exited her first speech to campaign staffers when she confirmed the demise of Biden and her elevation in his place.
Harris provides the narration for the entire promotional clip. It crosses a broad range of leftist narratives from abortion to trans pride, alongside lawfare targeting former President Donald Trump.
3- The good news is that the internet is forever. They can try to cover-up the fact that Kamala is a radical socialist, but, too late, we have the screenshot.
Kamala Cover Up: GovTrack Deletes Website Ranking Harris as 2019’s ‘Most Liberal Senator’
QUOTE: Update: Although it appears the GovTrack list discussed in this story was still on its website as recently as this week, the National Desk reported that GovTrack founder Joshua Tauberer said, “The page that you are referring to was based on a single calendar year. Several years ago we discontinued creating new single-calendar year ‘report cards.’” Tauberer said a single year of data was “not sufficient to create a reliable portrait of the activity of legislators.”
As Breitbart News reported, GovTrack published a list of 100 senators in 2019. Out of the senators, Harris was in the #100 spot and was viewed as being the most liberal senator.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) came in #99, right behind Harris.
This list has now been deleted, and when you attempt to go to the page, you find a “page not found” message.
GovTrack describes itself as publishing “the status of federal legislation” and “information” on representatives or senators who have been elected to Congress, “including voting records, and original research on legislation.” “We’re one of the oldest government transparency websites in the world,” the website says.
Among other recent “cover-ups” regarding Harris’s past, Axios released an article claiming that Harris never had the title “border czar,” which was referenced by lawmakers and media outlets. The outlet updated the article, making an editor’s note that the outlet had “incorrectly labeled Harris a ‘border czar’ in 2021.”
4- We totally missed this story when it was happening and, of course, there is no coverage in the FakeNews about this lawsuit.
The fact is, the DriveByFakeCorporateNews has to settle cases often because they lie so much.
Read about all the details of this case at the link.
Rachel Maddow and Her Co-Stars Made ‘Verifiably False’ Statements About a Doctor They Called the ‘Uterus Collector.’
Now His $30 Million Lawsuit Is Headed For Trial.
QUOTE: NBCUniversal is headed for trial after a judge ruled in favor of a Georgia doctor who MSNBC’s biggest stars accused of performing “mass hysterectomies” on women at a Trump-era immigration facility in Georgia. The judge ruled that Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes made “verifiably false” statements about the doctor, who is suing NBC for $30 million.
The discovery process in the lawsuit, which has received little attention, has drawn back the curtain on the inner workings of MSNBC, revealing how the liberal cable network works hand in hand with NBC News, which seeks to portray itself as nonpartisan. NBCUniversal’s standards department reviewed and approved the reporting on the Georgia doctor, before it was published on NBC News.com and then broadcast on MSNBC programs. The NBC News correspondents, Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley, worked closely with a standards executive during their reporting. Soboroff is also an MSNBC correspondent.
Furthermore, Maddow—who was deposed for the lawsuit—and Hayes were personally involved in the off-camera vetting and editorial conversations around the segment to an extent that can be unusual for on-camera hosts.
Maddow is reportedly paid about $30 million a year by NBCUniversal to host her show one evening a week and work on longer-range projects.
In her ruling last month, the judge, Lisa Godbey Wood of the Southern District of Georgia, found that Maddow, Hayes, and Wallace made 39 “verifiably false” allegations about Mahendra Amin, a gynecologist who treated detainees at a Georgia Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
A nurse at the facility had made a whistleblower complaint alleging that Amin was performing “mass hysterectomies,” many of which were medically unnecessary, and that he was known as “the uterus collector.” The nurse’s claims, which she admitted were based on hearsay, were later found to be false.
“In the end, we are left with this: NBC investigated the whistleblower letter’s accusations; that investigation did not corroborate the accusations and even undermined some; NBC republished the letter’s accusations anyway,” Wood wrote in a scathing 108-page ruling on June 26. She ordered a jury trial to determine if MSNBC engaged in “actual malice,” the standard to determine defamation.
The discovery process revealed how MSNBC and NBC News journalists and executives acknowledged privately—in text messages, emails, and conference calls—that they didn’t know if the allegations were true, but reported them anyway. The lawsuit could prove embarrassing to MSNBC, which bills itself the “premier destination” for news and “informed perspectives.” Communications obtained during the discovery process revealed that many executives and top journalists at the network had concerns about the whistleblower, but breathlessly reported her claims anyway.
Hayes, Maddow, and Wallace aired several segments about Wooten’s allegations on their evening MSNBC programs, sparking a Senate investigation into Amin’s activities.
Amin’s lawsuit is the latest black eye for MSNBC, which aggressively pushed several false narratives during the Trump administration, during which the cable network generated hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for NBCUniversal and its parent company, Comcast. The liberal cable network spent much of President Trump’s tenure pushing the debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative, including in dozens of segments on Maddow’s program. MSNBC settled a defamation lawsuit from Nicholas Sandmann after the network aired more than a dozen segments about the Kentucky high school student’s confrontation with a Native American activist at the National Mall in 2019. MSNBC employees accused Sandmann of a “hate crime,” among other allegations.
5- Okay, we are a little surprised this was covered at all by CNN. They must not like ABC.
Anytime people who are supposed to be journalist are held to account, it is good news!
Judge won’t dismiss Trump’s defamation suit against ABC News and George Stephanopoulos
QUOTE: A federal judge on Wednesday refused to dismiss former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against ABC News and George Stephanopoulos over the anchor’s assertion that a jury concluded Trump had “raped” E. Jean Carroll.
Trump filed the lawsuit in Florida federal court earlier this year, arguing that Stephanopoulos and the network defamed him when Stephanopoulos said during a contentious on-air interview with Rep. Nancy Mace that a jury found Trump had “raped” Carroll, a writer whose own cases against Trump led to him being found liable for sexual abuse.
The ruling Wednesday amounted to a victory for Trump, who can now move forward with the case as he dives into the 2024 presidential campaign, where he routinely bashes the press for what he believes is unfair coverage.
An ABC News spokesperson declined to comment on the ruling.
6- Almost all “green schemes” fail. Apparently, no one does market research anymore to find out what consumers will consume.
It is proven, yet again, that heavily government subsidized companies don’t need to worry about pesky profits.
BANKRUPT: The WEF agenda is FAILING!
QUOTE: Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum has been pushing for people to eat insects instead of meat to stop climate change. Because apparently cows are now bad for the planet and fart too much.
So a Swedish company called Tebrito has been working hard to produce mealworms for insect proteins to put in human food like granola and protein bars.
They got a whopping $4.2 million in investments to push this stuff. And now they have gone bankrupt because it seems like nobody wants to eat their insects. In 2023 they only had a revenue of a meager $49,000 and losing almost $12.6 million!
In other words, nobody is buying their insects. Looks like people are REJECTING the WEF agenda.
Last week another Swedish company called Mycorena went bankrupt. They got a whopping $27.8 million in investment to produce 3D printed fake meat made out of mycelium.
It is clear that even in liberal Sweden, people do not want to eat fake food.
7- This is just an idea right now but, we want to get it to the next Trump Administration. It is a good use for the totally unsustainable wind turbine blades.
Committee to Unleash Prosperity
Let’s Put All Those Broken Windmills to Good Use
QUOTE: We have here a modernized version of the old saw: turn swords into plowshares.
Turn wind turbines into border walls.
Here is a short video showing how this would work. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qDoL8ro0fUF3O2Se2eeNBeY8bKHX2nx6/view
This idea from one loyal reader makes a lot of sense:
Construct border wall segments with out-of-service wind turbine blades which are currently very difficult to dispose of.
Transport blades intact which will eliminate the cost associated with deconstruction and chemical separation of materials.
Relocate non-serviceable blades to border states which are often in close proximity to wind generation farms (e.g., Texas, California).
Prepare concrete pads to be compatible with current blade mounting provisions.
Mount ‘waste’ blades vertically in a manner that creates an impassible barrier to prevent illegal migrant crossing.
The left loves recycling. This recycling idea might gain bipartisan support.
8- Nothing would be better than this gaggle of unelected communist bureaucrats being cut down in size; even if it is just their footprint in Washington.
The EPA can no longer make their workers come in to the office to work, so the expensive real estate must be downsized. In addition, the results of the Supreme Court Chevron decision, which whacks back the power of all federal agencies, and we could see a lot of empty office buildings in D.C.
THAT would be good news.
EPA considers scrapping buildings amid low worker turnout
QUOTE: EPA plans to consolidate its sprawling Washington headquarters and could let some prime real estate go as office space remains empty since the Covid-19 pandemic.
The agency’s push to shrink its real estate footprint could save millions of taxpayer dollars as many federal employees continue to telework rather than commute to the office. Federal agencies have been under increasing pressure to better utilize their headquarters buildings in the nation’s capital — or turn over barren cubicles to someone else — as the response to the virus outbreak has wound down.
Threats to EPA, however, loom on the horizon. The agency anticipates completing the assessment next year, which could give former President Donald Trump, who has pushed to take the agency apart, reason to downsize it even further if he wins the White House.
Dan Coogan, a deputy assistant administrator in the agency’s mission support office, said in an internal email obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News that EPA’s space in the Federal Triangle campus costs more than $90 million each year and accounts for 40 percent of the agency’s lease costs. Yet much of that space is unoccupied week to week with several staffers on remote and telework schedules.
In addition, Coogan said Congress, as part of the fiscal 2024 budget it passed, requires agencies to report facilities that are not meeting a 60 percent occupancy rate. Bipartisan legislation under consideration on Capitol Hill would enforce that standard.
“To meet a 60% occupancy rate, EPA would have to release multiple buildings in the Federal Triangle,” Coogan said in the email sent to agency employees on Thursday.
9- It is amazing how hard we must fight to push back on the evil left agenda.
We appreciate and pray for these warriors.
Attorney General Office of Missouri
Attorney General Bailey Obtains Court Order Blocking Biden’s Unlawful Rewrite of Title IX
QUOTE: Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced that the Eastern District of Missouri granted his motion to block Joe Biden’s unconstitutional rewrite of Title IX that would allow biological males in female spaces.
“This is a huge win for women and girls across the country. The Court recognized that Joe Biden’s plan to allow biological males into female spaces was not only blatantly illegal, but also a slap in the face to every woman in America,” said Attorney General Bailey. “As the father of a young daughter, I take this fight personally. My office will continue to fight for the preservation of women and girls, who have a right to thrive without fear of being erased by a radical transgender ideology.”
In complete disregard for the rights of women, the Department of Education’s new regulatory requirements would have forced educational programs that receive federal money to accept a radical transgender ideology.
Today, the Court sided with Missouri and ruled that the Department of Education’s new regulatory requirements were unconstitutional and an unlawful interpretation of Title IX.
Joining Missouri in filing suit were the attorneys general of Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and a brave Arkansas high school athlete.
