DOGE

The DOGE-deranged media continue to plumb new lows in their collective attempt to instill fear and pessimism in a largely optimistic American public. The latest such effort by NBC revolves around DOGE cuts at the National Park Service.

Having been laid off in December 2022 from CNN, Chris Cillizza has been free to appear elsewhere, join Substack, and…come to his senses? That seems to have been the case more recently with one example having come Wednesday night on NewsNation as he admitted he was exasperated at Democrats being willing to die on the hill of saving the federal bureaucracy from Elon Musk.

The left is screaming that President Donald Trump is on some kind of ideological crusade. Some recent headlines: “Trump and Musk’s Purge Isn’t Cost Cutting -- It’s a Coup”; “Doge is About Ideology and Mindless Budget Cutting”; “Elon Musk’s Indiscriminate Carnage”; “Dems Must Stand Up Against the Bully in the White House.”

When is a story about farmers NOT about farmers? When the farmers are but a narrative device with which the media can stealthily advocate for a preferred policy in peril. In this case, farmers used as human shields so NBC can advocate for the Green New Deal (under its actual name, the Inflation Reduction Act).

On Tuesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle officiated over yet another session of commiseration about the actions of the new administration, with the usual heavy emphasis on Elon Musk and DOGE. Joining her was Reed Galen, author of The Home Front on Substack, who –without evidence – accused the administration and Musk, with media complicity, of leaning on…

On Wednesday’s CBS Mornings, co-host, Obama family friend, and former Democratic Party donor Gayle King tried to tie Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the recent high-profile aviation accidents in 2025 and ask the CEO of Delta Airlines whether he too has concern about air safety with Trump in power. Thankfully, Delta’s Ed Bastian wasn’t having any of…

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough was the latest in a list of dishonorable media figures to tie President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s budget-cutting efforts to the idea of additional plane crashes. Unlike other analyses, Scarborough’s ramblings come from someone who likes to style himself as one of the few remaining principled conservatives.

In an lengthy interview with Elon Musk that aired Tuesday on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity (and taped late last week), President Trump unsurprisingly found time to lambaste the “bad,” “dangerous,” “horrible” liberal media as he and Musk have stood up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to shrink and tame the leviathan that is the federal government.

The Trump, Musk, and DOGE-deranged media, consumed with their efforts to undermine government accountability and reform as voted upon by the American people, have completely omitted from viewer consideration a critically important development across our southern border: the CIA’s no-longer-secret drone flights over Mexican cartel laboratories.

We have arrived at the stage of DOGE derangement wherein the media are now poring over the words President Donald Trump uses in describing the ongoing program cuts across several government agencies. Quite frankly, we haven’t seen this much analysis over the definition of a word since Bill Clinton tried to question the meaning of what is is.

Expanding to two hours after the departure of carnival barker Jim Acosta and before being joined next month by Wolf Blitzer to co-host The Situation Room, CNN’s Pamela Brown has kept up the usual partisan chicanery and Tuesday was no exception with a lengthy, 11-minutes-plus battle with Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) that mostly consisted of Brown defending government workers and…

There was a potent and toxic combination of righteous indignation and ignorance oozing from ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg, during Tuesday’s edition of The View. In addition to blaming the crash of a Delta Airlines flight on the runway of an airport in Toronto, Canada on Elon Musk, she demanded to know: when did she give permission to NASA to sign contracts with Musk’s SpaceX?

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s Inside Politics, aviation correspondent Pete Muntean told host Dana Bash that it appeared the Delta Airlines flight that crashed in Toronto on Monday did so due to a landing gear malfunction. He also noted how there is no common thread linking it with other recent plane crashes, but that didn’t stop Bash and her assembled panel from noticing “this…

The credit card statement contained an unfamiliar charge. I called the fraud department which canceled the payment and immediately sent me a new card. If only the federal government responded with similar alacrity. Instead, the reaction from the exposure and rooting out of fraud – mostly from Democrats – has been shouting profanities and demonstrating outside federal government buildings. Some…
