The White House is starting a new media policy that restricts wire services’ access to the presidentAP NewsBy DAVID BAUDERApril 16, 2025The Associated Press says that a new White House media policy violates a court order by giving the administration sole discretion over who gets to question President Donald Trump, and the news agency asked a federal judge on Wednesday to enforce that order.The swift move was in response to a policy issued late Tuesday by the White House, which suffered a courtroom loss last week over The Associated Press’ ability to cover Trump. The plans, the latest attempt by the new administration to control coverage of its activities, sharply curtail the access of three news agencies that serve billions of readers around the world.The AP filed Wednesday’s motion with U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden, asking for relief “given defendant’s refusal to obey” his order last week. McFadden said the White House had violated the AP’s free speech by banning it from certain presidential events because Trump disagreed with the outlet’s decision not to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
Because of the Supreme Court ruling back in his first administration that Trump has immunity he thinks he can do anything he wants! He knows the weak-kneed Republicans in Congress will not do anything. But you know what his Secretary of State and Attorney General do not have immunity.

Trump is trying to defund PBS and NPR!
New York PostBy Steven NelsonApril 14, 2025The Trump administration took its first step Monday toward ending federal funding of National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) — informing key members of Congress that it’s asking for them to eliminate “all” such spending while also codifying foreign aid cuts identified by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.The requests are contained in a “rescissions” plan, obtained and first reported by The Post, that pitches a clawback of $1.1 billion already appropriated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and $8.3 billion from USAID.[...]Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) applauded the plan Monday, tweeting: “NPR and PBS have a right to publish their biased coverage — but they don’t have a right to spend taxpayer money on it. It’s time to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.”
The grannies won't like it!
No. I'm serious...
ChatGPT AI: "What percentage of pbs are seniors?"Recent surveys indicate that a significant portion of PBS viewers are seniors. A 2023 survey of PBS Passport users revealed that approximately 67% of respondents were aged 65 or older. This aligns with earlier data from 2010, which reported that 60% of PBS's audience was over 60 years old.These statistics highlight PBS's strong appeal among older adults, who often value its educational content and in-depth programming. This demographic is also more likely to engage with PBS's digital platforms, such as PBS Passport, which offers streaming access to a wide range of content.
You are touching our Social Security and now our PBS, and... and over fifty percent of them voted for Trump... you are p**sing them off!
