Alarming new escalations on Freedom of the Press and Voting Rights are being promoted by Donald Trump and his Cabinet and other collaborators, with never a day going by that a new outrage is not being perpetrated.
Shocking news that Don Lemon, the former CNN anchor, has been arrested, along with other journalists, for engaging in interviews and reporting at a Minnesota church in which protestors engaged in demonstrations against the horrors of the ICE intervention in Minneapolis, at a church in which the pastor is an ICE administrator.
Also, the FBI has raided the Georgia Elections Office in Atlanta to seize the records of the voters and vote results of the Presidential Election of 2020, a sign of the purpose to intervene illegally in future elections in 2026 and 2028 in Georgia, a key swing state. Donald Trump continues to claim that the results in Georgia in 2020 were fixed and corrupt against him, a sign of his mental instability.
Already, Attorney General Pam Bondi has told Minnesota government leaders that the aggressive ICE intervention in that state would end if the state government would share voter rolls and information, another sign of the federal government trying to interfere with future elections, and gain private information about voters, an illegal action.
The Trump Administration is continuing to engage in authoritarian moves, and there are mass demonstrations all over the country to resist such actions, in what is clearly a never ending struggle for survival of American democracy and the rule of law.
When I was at the Naval Academy watching my twin grandsons playing Hockey at the Naval Academy rink… some propagandized dim-witted ass made a comment on how disgusting Bruce Springsteen’s Anti-ICE was.
I just said we will not be discussing this..
How liberals lost the internet
“The overwhelming liberal focus on disinformation misreads how digital platforms work: misleading content is everywhere, but the real battleground is over emotion and attention, which is what determines whether information – good or bad – finds an audience. This is why cutting-edge propagandists now focus less on policy messaging and more on massaging vibes.”

How the right won the internet
“The internet has totally changed the way in which politics is conducted. As established in the first piece in our series, liberals have totally failed to grasp this fact. The right, however, are thriving in this new world.”

It’s inexcusable for CNN to employ this guy, also for anyone to treat him as an actual journalist, and baffling why anyone would watch him.
The White House Wants Everyone—Except the Press—to See Melania Trump’s Documentary
“Amazon spent tens of millions on a documentary from first lady Melania Trump. But they seem to be going out of their way to keep journalists from seeing it.”

Don Lemon vows to fight charges in First Amendment showdown with Trump
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/30/don-lemon-appears-in-los-angeles-federal-court-00757998
The media reporting this as a “showdown” is complete crap; this is Trump viciously assaulting the First Amendment, and the media should say so clearly!
