AMERICA dominates this column again – here’s some of what the MSM didn’t cover on the new President’s stream of mind-blowing ‘culture wars’ executive orders, initiatives and directives that have not all proved popular.
Musk’s Stargate AI data project and Trump clash
Elon Musk showed this week that he’s no Presidential poodle. Just hours after Donald Trump talked up a joint venture on Tuesday investing up to $500billion (£402billion) through a new partnership formed by ChatGPT-maker OpenAI alongside Oracle and SoftBank, Musk questioned its value.’They don’t actually have the money’, Musk wrote on his social platform X.
What is Bill Gates up to with Trump now?
Many have been asking, like Clayton Morris, what’s Trump doing backing mRNA vaccines and AI? Morris doesn’t hold back in this Redacted episode. Let’s hope the President is a follower.
Firing Fauci and Co’s security detail proves more popular
Though widely reported in the MSM, the best coverage was on X where the news gave rise to some choice tweets, and celebration time for Trump’s home ‘truths’.
First, Charlie Kirk with the facts.
Next, Trump’s answer about whether he’d feel responsible if anything happened to them. No – here’s why in his own words.
Then Rand Paul’s tweet – understandably the Senator couldn’t resist reporting his contribution to Trump’s move.
Last, and this is my favourite, from Laura Powell:
So has Trump defeated Davos?
Here’s his speech to the WEF last week.
This VNN report from Davos suggests at least some of its acolytes are changing their tune. But I am not holding my breath.
Trump v Putin war games
To get a flavour of the daily mixed messages on when and how Trump plans to end the Ukraine war or do a deal with Putin, go no further than the almost comic-strip Hindustan Times video reports, an outlet that positively relishes in the Putin v Trump drama and that has been reporting every move in the ‘end the war’ game since the beginning of last week.
Most significant was Putin’s direct video message to Trump on the eve of the inauguration, translated for Western benefit here.
Trump’s interesting response which followed the next day – see above – was another truth bomb in which he said that losing a million men is no way to run a country. Nor is an 800,000 loss in Ukraine any better: it has fewer people to lose.
Numerous other reports on the Ukraine Russia war – on the implication of Trump’s withdrawal of aid to Ukraine as well as on the actual war – can be found on the Hindustan Times pages. Here is their recording of last Thursday’s Trump’s message to Putin reporting both sides are ready to talk ceasefire.
Trump’s deportations: The most popular of his orders
For Anthony Brian Logan, seeing the illegal migrants being rounded up and arrested was the best news of all. Here he explains why for the ordinary American it was the most important of all the election issues.
And here is JD Vance showing his spurs in his first interview since taking office on CBS News. The Vice President’s shut down of host Margaret Brennan during a line of questioning over allowing unvetted illegal migrants into the United States, was a pleasure to read.
Enough to send her into a meltdown. Which is just what that darling of the liberals, Selena Gomez, did – going absolutely bananas at Trump’s mass deportations, American Beat reported. A hilarious crash out indeed.
By contrast there is nothing to laugh about in the UK
We are still been made to ‘suck up’ our own illegal immigrant problem. This report from Paul Joseph Watson on the primary school one field away from a male migrants’ hotel in Milton Keynes is an alarming but essential watch.
Contrast his report of a frightening and totally unacceptable situation that the school, parents and children are facing daily with the Mail’s uncritical ‘multi-cultural excuse’ coverage with no criticism at all of the limp police response.
Why is this not reported as an outrage on the front page of all newspapers? Why are the Mail and other papers not calling for the immediate deportation of the asylum seekers making the life of the community untenable and fearful?
What a contrast to Trump’s decisive deportation policy. Our only hope seems, once again lies with Reform MP Rupert Lowe, the only politician prepared to tell it how it is, as he did again last week. If you missed it, here he is again in full questioning mode taking the government to task this time about the rape gangs.
And finally the Home Office’s shocking dismissal of two tier policing
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, twice arrested for praying peacefully and silently, has responded vehemently to the Home Office counter-extremism dossier statement that ‘claims of “two-tier” policing, where two groups are allegedly treated differently after similar behaviour’ are a ‘right-wing extremist narrative’. This ‘abrasive and outright dismissal of widespread concerns about “two-tier policing” runs contrary to the experience of countless everyday British people’ she said.
