Pundit Who Helped Collapse Media Credibility Leaves Media Due to Collapsed Credibility

Eh, the funny thing about concentric circles is the downward spiral based on your perspective.

NBC pundit Chuck “sleepy eyes” Todd was one of the obvious voices helping to destroy the remaining remnants of corporate media credibility.  Today, citing the collapse of corporate media credibility, Chuck Todd announces his departure from NBC.

WASHINGTON DC – Longtime NBC News political reporter Chuck Todd is leaving the network after 18 years, he announced on his podcast Friday morning. [H]e said it was because the “media has a lot of work to do to win back the trust” of the public, and “national media isn’t the place that’s going to be able to do it.”

[…] Todd said he will bring his podcast with him to his next venture after a brief hiatus. “I do plan to continue to share my reporting and my perspective, and to cover politics the way I’ve been covering it,” Todd said. (read more)

President Trump Plans for 25% Border Security Tariffs on Mexico and Canada Remain Set to Begin Saturday

This is excellent news.  There are two distinctively different sets of tariffs scheduled to roll out in the next few days, weeks and months.

One set of long-term tariffs called MACRO tariffs focused on reciprocity and based primarily on economic fairness.  The second and more urgent set, are focused on the immediacy of national security, border security and the demand for allies to shut down their support for fentanyl distribution.

The Border Security tariffs of 25% against Mexico and Canada start on Saturday.  The media and corporate interests in/around Wall Street are in maximum apoplexy mode; however, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik previously explained the reason for the urgency.  The video is 5 minutes and well worth your time if you want to avoid the confusion being pushed by media. WATCH:

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Thursday said he will impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico beginning Saturday, reiterating concerns about illegal migration, fentanyl and trade deficits in remarks to reporters.

“I’ll be putting the tariff of 25 percent on Canada, and separately, 25 percent on Mexico, and we’ll really have to do that,” Trump told reporters while signing executive orders focused on aviation safety.

One FBI Official Fired, New York Times Goes Bananas Proclaiming Legion Level Bloodbath

Perhaps part of the reason the leftist media, specifically Washington Post, Politico, New York Times, Wall Street Journal (editorial pages) and CNN go bananas in their defense of the FBI silo, is because for the past decade they have collaborated so closely, even winning Pulitzer prizes together for their efforts on the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy.

Seriously, it’s no longer a matter of journalists reporting on FBI activity.  In this era, we see FBI embeds in the role of journalists transcribing dictation directly from within the machinery of the silo itself.  The publications are vessels, messaging boards for FBI narrative engineer outputs.  Here’s the latest demonstration.

Adam Goldman and Devlin Barrett, two of the original stenographers for the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory, are now pushing an article using ONE anonymous FBI source who claims to have been told to resign, as representative of thousands of FBI top officials around the country being terminated. [We could be so lucky]

[…] In an email to colleagues, one of the senior agents said he had learned he would be dismissed “from the rolls of the F.B.I.” as soon as Monday morning. “I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock,” he wrote.

Cotton Admits Too Much Openly Visible FBI Corruption for Republicans to Block Kash Patel Nomination

Someone recently said, Kash Patel can be looked upon as the best safety mechanism available to DC in order to protect themselves from the people.  It’s a good way of looking at it.

The public has seen far too much weaponization and corruption within the FBI for the pretending Republican wing of the UniParty to try and ignore it.  Kash Patel stands in front of the Senate, facing We The People, as a committee offering to us in order to get the pitchforks and torches put down.

They figure if they confirm Kash Patel, everyone will settle down and the silo administrators can get back to doing their corruption stuff.  Senate Intel Committee Chairman Tom Cotton admits this, you just need to put on the non-pretending earphones to hear it.  WATCH:
