Although Fox News covered the Israel-Hamas war when it first started the network hasn't dedicated much airtime to it for at least a year. It's fairly obvious in this clip the cast of "Fox & Friends" haven't seen many images from Gaza. Fox rarely featured anything from Gaza.

Brian "kill all the homeless people" Kilmeade lectured air traffic controllers about working without pay. Kilmeade is paid millions. He could probably go without pay for a while and not feel it. Most Americans can't do that.

Fox News paid $787.5 million in a defamation settlement to Dominion Voting Systems for knowingly promoting false stories about the 2020 election. Someone might tell Jesse Watters that Fox News is still facing a $2 billion lawsuit from Smartmatic for the same reason.

Fox & Friends is part of the Republican Party propaganda network. An activist openly shills for the Republican candidate for governor in NJ. At least this time, Fox correctly identified the man as a professional activist. The network sometimes portrays activists as random people.

How much would it take for you to say out loud that Donald J. Trump has a perfect body? GW Bush and Barack Obama were both in great shape. Ronny Jackson also said a bullet track "produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear."

Fox News stopped talking about Herschel Walker after he lost his bid for a U.S. Senate seat. Walker was accused of paying for two abortions, terrorizing his son, ex-wife, and other women. He also had children he did not disclose to the public and had exaggerated his resume.

The folks at Fox News continue to promote the false narrative that Trump ordered 10,000 National Guard troops BEFORE the January 6th riots. His then Acting Sec. of Defense testified under oath that Trump made no such request. I included his testimony. RECEIPTS!

Jesse Watters misrepresented something Joy Behar said then went on a crazed rant where he blamed the collective 'left' for the murder of Charlie Kirk along with a shooting at an ICE facility and the attempts on Trump's life. Watters is part of the problem.

Brian "I say horrible things" Kilmeade basically told the families of 9/11 victims to get over it! Who cares if your loved ones died or if the Crown Prince chopped up a journalist while he was still alive there's money to be made in the Middle East.

Hilarious. Trump is sabotaging this guy daily right before the election with his policy pronouncements and all he can do is plead with voters not to notice he’s a Trump ally. I’m sure NJ voters can REALLY count on Jack to stand up to Trump!

Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital ACA subsidies expire.

Millions on Medicaid will lose coverage. Millions on ACA plans could see premiums rise by 114% per latest estimates.

Every lie told about the shutdown is meant to cover this up.

Trump has frozen or canceled $28B in funding for infrastructure projects in Democratic congressional districts.

Meanwhile, representatives of those districts are fighting to extend ACA subsidies — more than half of which go to people in GOP-held districts.

Remember this.

Trump is re-escalating his trade war with China with new port fees and a 100% tariff on rare earth minerals.

Reminder that "other countries" won't pay for the tariffs — you will. https://youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?si=k8gcK2rt8DsexKPa

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said
Oct. 15, 2025 PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION STATEMENT Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution. The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.
