WATCH: CNN Whines About Being Replaced by Real America’s Voice and LindellTV on Air Force One Trip. KEK

by Cassandra MacDonald Sep. 26, 2026

The White House has removed CNN’s access to Air Force One for President Donald Trump’s Saturday flight to Knoxville, where he is scheduled to attend Tennessee-Texas, and replaced it with Real America’s Voice and Lindell TV.

CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene announced the replacement during an appearance on the network with Anderson Cooper and was not very pleased with the change.

The liberal network was originally scheduled for the television pool rotation that day, the slot networks use to shoot video that other outlets are free to air.

Friday night’s White House guidance left CNN off the plane.

“The White House is now preventing CNN from carrying out their TV duties,” she said. “It’s unclear what’s going to happen to [the pool coverage] now.”

“We did hear our outside lawyer representing CNN, Politico, and MS NOW say earlier today that he believed the restoration of the outlet’s access included the White House pool, but clearly this White House is keeping us from doing so,” Treene continued.

“We know that they are definitely singling us out here.”

CNN later wrote that “no outlet” was listed as a replacement, taking a clear shot at Real America’s Voice and Lindell TV.

“The move — announced Friday night in a White House note that lays out the president’s schedule — represents the Trump administration’s latest salvo against CNN and the broader White House press corps. No outlet was listed as replacing CNN, meaning there will be no television pool coverage of his trip,” CNN claimed.

Last week, Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House complex, accusing them of “FICTION and LIES.”

Secret Service took their credentials away.

The three outlets quickly filed a lawsuit.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly issued a 14-day restraining order on Thursday restoring credentials, saying it looked like a due-process problem.

The order covered the building, but it did not settle Air Force One or the pool rotation….

Fired FBI Agents Involved in Mar-a-Lago Raid Ask Judge Cannon for Clarity After Grand Jury Subpoenas — Lawyers Raise Fifth Amendment Self-Incrimination Concerns. 1/2

by Jim Hᴏft Sep. 26, 2026

The same FBI personnel who helped execute the unprecedented August 2022 raid on President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago homeare now racing to federal court, not to defend the raid, but to protect themselves.

Lawyers for a group of current and former FBI agents and analysts who worked the classified-documents case filed a motion Thursday in the Southern District of Florida asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon toclarify a prior order so their clients can sit in front of a Fort Pierce grand jury without walking into contempt, incomplete testimony, or a Fifth Amendment spectacle.

According to Associated Press, two of the former employees received grand jury subpoenas on Monday. One is slated to testify as soon as next week. Two more are scheduled the week after.

The FBI’s Miami Field Office had already reached out in July and August for “voluntary” interviews and warned that grand jury testimony would follow.

The Justice Department has floated immunity. It has not formally offered it. That is not how innocent fact witnesses usually behave.

They say they will talk, if the judge first gives them a shield.

The filing, first reported by Politico and detailed by Law & Crime, asks Cannon to confirm that her February order burying Volume II of disgraced Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago report does not gag these agents when they answer a grand jury.

The agents argue they are trapped. If they answer questions that touch non-public material in Smith’s buried report, they risk contempt of Cannon’s order. If they hold back, they look like they are hiding something. If they take the Fifth, they say, “innocent former federal civil servants” will look guilty.

Most of the clients, the filing says, were fired by FBI Director Kash Patel and are no longer federal employees. One of the subpoenaed agents reviewed the entire Volume II.

Another, represented by the same counsel, is identified as the Mar-a-Lago search-warrant affiant. Their lawyers include Abbe Lowell and Mark Zaid.

The Gateway Pundit reported in Januarythat Patel had already begun clearing senior officials tied to the Trump and Mar-a-Lago investigations, including agents out of the Miami office connected to the raid.

Later reporting confirmed a wider ouster of staff who worked the documents case after it emerged that Biden-era FBI leadership had quietly pulled toll records on Patel and now-White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles while they were private citizens.

The raid itself never had clean probable cause inside the Bureau. The Gateway Pundit reported in December 2025, citing declassified emails reviewed by Fox News, that the FBI’s Washington Field Office told DOJ it did not believe it had established probable cause for a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. DOJ pressed ahead anyway. An official even said he didn’t “give a damn about the optics.”

The Gateway Pundit followed that trail again in April after Judicial Watch forced out more FBI records on the “Plasmic Echo” investigation. Field agents again warned that they lacked probable cause and wanted to work through Trump attorney Evan Corcoran.Biden’s Justice Department wanted the wide-scope raid: residence, office, storage. They got it.

Now those same files, those same decisions, and those same people are in front of a Florida grand jury.

The Gateway Pundit reported in Januarythat a grand jury had been ordered empaneled in Fort Pierce to put Crossfire Hurricane and the Mar-a-Lago raid under scrutiny. That is the same courthouse where Cannon sits, the judge who already tossed Jack Smith’s documents case.

The current probe, according to AP, isexamining an alleged conspiracy to deprive Trump of his civil rights and keep him from power, stretching from the Russia investigation through the 2022 search.

Everyone of the FBI involved should be sent to jail at the worst jail in the U.S.!

Senator John Kennedy on Socialism: ‘When the Berlin Wall Fell, Who Ran to Which Side?’(VIDEO)

By Mike LaChance Sep. 26, 2026 10:20

Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana appeared on the Sean Hannity show last night and shared some of his thoughts on the rise of socialism in the Democrat Party.

In his usual humorous manner, Kennedy roasted AOC, Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani and others, calling them out for holding up a philosophy that has failed every time it has been tried.

He concludes by saying that socialism is for morons, and offers examples from history to back up his argument.

From Breitbart News:

Kennedy replied, “Well, Sean, I listen to these new leaders of the Democratic Party. Mayor Mamdani, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, Dr. El-Sayed in Michigan, and when I listen to them, they’re all socialists. When I listen to them, it’s why I believe in free speech because how else would we know who the idiots are? You can’t make this stuff up, and as long as they’re in charge, you don’t have to. It — no disrespect, but it must suck to be that dumb. I’m going to say it again. Republicans aren’t perfect, but the other side’s — the other side’s crazy. And they’re in control, the congresswoman, the mayors, I could go on with all the other ones, Senator Sanders, they’re in control of the Democratic Party, and they’re all college-educated. But here’s their agenda, they believe in — they believe in kale, cold plunges, and tofu piccata.”

“They want to open the border,” he continued. “They want to open the prisons. They want to defund ICE. They want to defund the police. They think America deserved 9/11. And they are socialists. They hate free enterprise. They think if you’ve made any money in our system of free enterprise, you either had to steal it or oppress somebody. And I would say to your — to your viewers out there, if any of them are thinking they like socialism, I would ask them one question, when the Berlin wall fell, who ran to which side? Socialism is for morons and history has demonstrated that time and time and time again. But that’s what we’re running against. And what I — what I tell people when I debate socialism is look, unless you were in the quad, plan Frisbee during econ 101 or history 101,you have to know that socialism is for morons.”

Sen John Kennedy: Without free speech, how would we know who the idiots are?

Legendary Economist Thomas Sowell Shares the One Thing That Makes Him Think Society May be ‘Doomed’(VIDEO)

By Mike LaChance Sep. 26, 2026 9:40 pm

There is a clip of the celebrated conservative economist and historian Thomas Sowell circulating on social media right now that is fascinating to watch.

In the video, Sowell shares what makes him think that society as we know it might be doomed. He uses the example of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Sowell points out that people are so stupid that they called Kirk a fascist when all he did was talk to people and try to convince them of his ideas, while noting that it is fascists who shoot and kill people.

Partial transcript:

“I do think that there is a very serious chance that we are doomed, because we have institutions where people who are pursuing their interests are destroying the larger interests of the whole society.

These people who are coming around shooting people and calling them fascists, and so on.

These people are so ignorant, that they don’t even know what the fascists were doing.

Uh, Charles Kirk goes around, went around talking to people, trying to convince them. Fascists don’t do that. Fascists shoot people.

And so uh, it’s the person who kills him thinking he’s a fascist who is himself a fascist and the opposite of the man he’s murdering.”

Watch the whole thing below:

Sowell is a national treasure.

Bill Maher Credits Trump With National Drop in Crime: ‘I Think the Bad Guys Got the Message’(VIDEO)

by Mike LaChance Sep. 26, 2026

Last night on his HBO show, Bill Maher gave Trump credit for the drop in crime across the country. It’s the sort of thing you never hear from the liberal media or other late night hosts.

Of course, Bill being Bill, he just had to try to give some credit to Democrats for expanding the social safety net. We’re not exactly sure what he is even talking about there, but still, it’s nice to hear someone finally give Trump credit on this issue.

Maher basically said that Trump is a FAFO president and that people who might commit crimes are more likely to realize that there will be consequences.

FOX News has more details:

Comedian Bill Maher offered surprising praise for President Donald Trump’s handling of crime Friday, telling his audience that the president’s tough-guy persona may have played a role in a nationwide drop in violent crime.

“It’s not just drug crime that’s way down. It’s all crime,” Maher said during Friday’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time. “And, again, probably much of it is not political. It’s because you can’t move two inches in America without being tracked, photographed and followed by a Flock camera.”…

“It’s also because when Democrats expand the safety net, there are less desperate people,” Maher said. “And because Trump is a bad a–.”

Maher added that while he does not “agree with many of [Trump’s] methods,” he cannot argue that the president’s tough-on-crime approach has yielded successful results.

“Is doing it this way the right thing? No.But it’s just childish to pretend that when you elect a f—-around-and-find-out president, a no-more-Mr.-Nice-Guy, boot-in-your-a–, ‘V for Vendetta,’ kick-a– and take names, say-hello-to-my-little-friend president, that’s not going to have some effect on crime,” he continued.

“He has UFC fights on the lawn,” Maher concluded. “I think the bad guys got the message.”

Here’s the video:

This was an unexpected moment.

Bill Maher spent one of the final minutes of his show heaping massive praise on President Trump for taking a sledgehammer to crime.

“Trump is a BADASS!”

Maher’s point was that although he doesn’t agree with all of Trump’s methods on crime, anyone… pic.twitter.com/dYaPVuGIck

It’s not a perfect analysis of what has happened, but it’s good to hear him credit Trump.

It’s certainly better than anything you’ll hear on CNN or MSNOW.

NOW: Most Ukrainian TV Channels Taken Off the Air After Relentless Russian Strikes on Data Centers

By Paul Serran Sep. 26, 2026 9:00 pm107

Ukrainian life is being disrupted more and more each day.

Back in early summer, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky announced a ‘40-day campaign of deep strikes in Russia’ to pressure Russians to end the war.

The inevitable result is that Russian forces increased attacks on all of Ukraine, with combined missile/drone packages targeting not only military but also economic targets.

Responsible Statecraft reported:

“The [Ukrainian] drone attacks have elicited the most severe Russian retaliation yet. Moscow has markedly stepped up its strikes on Ukraine, including one of the largest ballistic missile attacks of the entire war [August 20], at the precise time the United States and Europe are running low on interceptors to defend it.”

Now, relentless, near-daily Russian strikes have disrupted power and energy, transport, shuttered all the Ports, targeted logistics centers, industry and, lately, data centers.

As a result of the onslaught, almost all Ukrainian TV channels went dark in Kyiv after the data centers were targeted.

Kyiv Post reported:

“Multiple news agencies reported service and broadcast disruptions on Saturday after Russia’s latest attacks on data centers. Cosmonova, a Ukrainian data center, confirmed its main facilities were damaged on Saturday in its Facebookupdates, before adding that it’s working to redirect internet traffic and restore the data in backup locations.

Ukrainian outlet Channel 24 reported that the disruption at Cosmonova has affected broadcasts from multiple television and news channels. According to Channel 24, local television channel “We – Ukraine+” – whose affiliated channel was struck by a Russian attack during a live broadcast on Sept. 8 – is currently unavailable, while Army TV is also suffering from the same issue.”

“While those attacks affect Ukrainians’ ability to travel and leave the country, strikes on data centers can also potentially affect their ability to receive critical information, as seen during the 2023 cyberattack against major telecom operator Kyivstar, when sirens were not active in certain areas after parts of the company’s IT infrastructure were wiped clean.

A Ukrainian tech consultant told tech outlet dev.ua on Thursday that Russia has been hitting Ukrainian data centers for around three weeks. Four data centers were hit on the same day during an attack on Wednesday, with train service also affected.”

So, after he ‘opened Pandora’s Box’ of economic attacks, Zelensky devotes considerable time to complaining about it.

Today (26), he said the Russian attacks on data centers and internet providers seek ‘to cause maximum disruption for ordinary people’.

BBC reported:

“All this affects people’s ability to stay connected, study, work,” he said. On Friday a Russian drone hit a business center in the capital Kyiv, killing four people and damaging a data center. A separate attack killed a 14-year-old boy. Israel’s foreign ministry said he was an Israeli citizen.

Russia confirmed it had targeted a data center site, saying it was being used by Ukrainian military intelligence.

About 100,000 households in Kyiv and the region suffered internet outages on Wednesday due to strikes. Some firms have already begun moving data from damaged servers to facilities abroad.”

Zelensky ‘already lost the war’ – ex-spokeswoman

Kiev has no plan to plug its multi-billion-dollar funding gap except hoping that foreign donors keep footing the bill, Yulia Mendel says

Published 27 Sep, 2026 10:56 |

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky “has already lost” the conflict with Russia,but persists in his “suicidal” policies, as Kiev has no idea how to cover its budget deficit without another massive cash infusion from the West, Zelensky’s former spokeswoman, Yulia Mendel, has said.

In a post on X on Saturday, Mendel saidUkraine needs $52.6 billion in international financing for next year’s budget, of which only around $20 billion has so far been confirmed or is expected under current programs.

Ukraine also faces a separate problem – an unexpected $27 billion defense shortfall for 2026 that Kiev disclosed in late August, after Zelensky embarked on a 40-day PR campaign to pressure Russia.

The campaign only triggered an escalation in the conflict, in which Russia ramped up strikes on Ukraine’s defense-related facilities and logistics, including the port of Odessa, a key hub for agricultural exports.

Mendel added that Kiev’s “partners do not give [money] because there are no reforms,” referring to the EU and IMF, which have noted Ukraine’s lack of progress in areas such as taxation, governance, and corruption.

“The Ukrainian government has no real plan,” she wrote, arguing that Kiev’s strategy amounts to hoping “someone else will keep paying for a war they refuse to end.”

Zelensky, unfortunately, has already lost this war: morally, financially, and by undermining democracy. And now all of his policies are suicidal.

Mendel served as Zelensky’s press secretary from 2019 to 2021, but has since become an outspoken critic,accusing her former boss of turning Ukraine into a “milder version” of Nazi Germany. This month, the Ukrainian leader placed sanctions on Mendel, including an asset freeze.

She was denied entry to the European Parliament building, where she was set to address an event organized by German AfD MEP Hans Neuhoff. Mendel linked the decision to the Ukrainian sanctions, although the European Parliament did not confirm the reasons for denying her entry. In a separate interview this month, she said she asked God for forgiveness for helping “this scum” come to power in Ukraine.

Rodion Miroshnik, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry mission tasked with documenting Ukrainian war crimes, arguedthat the EU would ultimately have to “squeeze something out” from its coffers to cover Kiev’s growing needs to protect its previous investments.

Trump Invokes Rare Authority To Cancel Nearly $1,000,000,000 In Congressionally Approved Spending

9/26/26

President Donald Trump has moved tocancel more than $800 million that Congress approved for refugee aid, migrant education and diversity programs.

The White House announced late Friday it would rescind $810 million in appropriated funds through a rare budgetary tool called a pocket rescission, according to CBS News. The largest cut, $567 million, hit Health and Human Services (HHS) accounts that funded nonprofits serving refugees and asylees, according to the administration.

Officials argued the money is no longer needed because illegal crossings have fallen sharply under Trump’s border policies. They labeled the spending wasteful and harmful to taxpayers.

The reductions also covered $70 million for programs the administration branded “Woke International Education,” $56 million in Housing and Urban Development (HUD) counseling grants and $25 million in migrant student education. The education money once paid for an LGBT youth summit and “Therapy for Latinx” workshops.

Among the groups losing support was Southwest Key Programs, which received $40 million and faced a Justice Department suit alleging its staff sexually harassed and abused unaccompanied minors, according to the White House. Another was Global Refuge, an immigration nonprofit led by a former policy director for Michelle Obama.

The cuts drew a rebuke from Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, according to CBS News.She called the package an effort to “undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse” and said lawmakers received no warning, according to her statement on X.

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse.

This move…

— Sen. Susan Collins (@SenatorCollins) September 25, 2026

Collins cited the Government Accountability Office, which has found pocket rescissions violate the Impoundment Control Act, according to her statement. Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, accused the administration of stealing money owed to communities, according to CBS News.

The White House filed its request days before the fiscal year closes Sept. 30, which lets the funds lapse before Congress can vote, CBS News reported. The House will remain out of session through the November election, leaving lawmakers little room to respond, according to Fox News.

Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought has maintained that the Impoundment Control Act does not bar a president from canceling funds late in the fiscal year, Fox News reported.

Trump deployed the same maneuver in 2025 to withhold $4.9 billion in foreign aid, the first pocket rescission in nearly five decades, according to CBS News. The Supreme Court let that cancellation stand while declining to rule on its legality, ABC News reported.

WATCH: “Quiet!” – Trump Nukes Reporter Asking About CNN Ban

by Jordan Conradson Sep. 27, 2026

President Trump on Sunday mic-dropped a reporter attacking him for reshaping the White House Press Pool by excluding far-left, rabidly anti-Trump CNN, MS Now, and Politico,telling her to be quiet while tearing into the outlets.

Trump has frequently noted that he “won the election in a landslide,” yet still gets almost 100% negative coverage from the left-wing media. The move to exclude the outlets from joining him on Air Force One or banning them completely from the White House is because their coverage is irrelevant and has been rejected by the American people for years.

The exchange came yesterday before Trump departed the White House en route to Tennessee for a college football game, which was covered by Real America’s Voice and The Gateway Pundit. CNN lost it after they were barred from traveling on Air Force One with the President.

“Do you only want outlets that support you to be a part of the press pool?”the reporter asked Trump.

“No, no, I want real news, not fake news like you. Listen, I want real news. I love an open free press. What I don’t like is a fake press, where a group like CNN, a few people watching, or MSDSC, which they changed, I guess, to ‘Now,” he responded.

“But you know why they changed it? Because their ratings are so bad.”

The reporter then tried to interrupt, and Trump shut her down, saying, “Wait, wait, quiet!”

Trump continued, “What I don’t like is fake news, and they’re fake news, 100%.”

“In two years, I doubt they did one good story, and I won the election in a landslide,” he said over the shouting reporters.

“What we don’t want is we don’t want fake news,” he added before walking away.

WATCH:

The left-wing media continues to prove why they don’t belong in the White House press pool by continuing to lie and push fake newsabout the President’s ban of CNN, MS Now, and Politico.

CNN on Saturday lost it, claiming that there was no outlet to replace CNN in the pool, leading to “limited coverage of his trip,” and that “there’s no TV pool coverage.” This is despite Real America’s Voice being in the air and on the ground with the President and providing pool coverage with audio and video to any outlet that chooses to cover Trump.

MS Now went on to claim that conservative media are gaining financial benefits from the White House, attacking us as “state media.”

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/09/watch-quiet-trump-nukes-reporter-asking-about-cnn/

How many decades has left wing news gotten financial benefits by being the only news that got listened to? Idiots!
