On Monday, CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson announced he is leaving the network at the end of the year.  His departure may have something to do with the new CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss, taking over. Dickerson’s resignation comes on the heels of a leftist CBS news producer quitting. Even though Weiss is a liberal, the fact that she isn’t all the way woke may be too much for Dickerson.  During his CBS tenure, Dickerson has been a hater of President Donald Trump and a cheerleader for Democrats like former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris.   Recently, he cluelessly suggested that the “motive” of Charlie Kirk’s murderer was “elusive.”  The following are just some of the worst takes (via the MRC archives) from the soon-to-be ex-anchor:    Trump Invoking the Insurrection Act Makes Him the 'Author of Disorder' "Sending National Guard troops into an American city is a tragic act. It means civil trust and persuasion have collapsed….But what if the president is the author of disorder? When federal officers describe protests as “low energy,” but the president calls the city “war ravaged,” proportionality is gone. Necessity has been invented, not observed. The second aspect of proportionality is scope is the level of force equivalent to the harm. As Alexander Hamilton put it, “national government action must be proportioned to the extent of the mischief.” The framers built layers of government to make such choices slow, not easy. Killing a fly with a shotgun kills the fly, but the debris is constitutional trust. When the state meets dissent with more force than necessary, instead of persuasion, democracy suffocates. Its oxygen is trust and restraint. Without them, politics becomes an armed monologue.” -- Anchor John Dickerson on CBS Evening News Plus, October 8, 2025.   John Dickerson on Charlie Kirk Murder: “Shooter’s Motive Remains Elusive”     “Five days after Charlie Kirk’s murder, the shooter’s motive remains elusive. No writings left behind. Vague, secondhand testimony. That uncertainty, and the risk of drawing sweeping conclusions, suggests the murder may share similarities with recent violence not driven by an obvious political ideology.” — Anchor John Dickerson on CBS Evening News Plus, September 15, 2025.   Dickerson Dumps on Trump’s Inaugural Moment     “As a tonal matter, we were talking about this day which has a kind of special grace that hovers over it, political grudges are paused. Donald Trump benefited from that grace in the ceremony, but as is often the case, he did not feel obliged to extend the same grace or ceremony. He talked at some length about the horrible betrayal about the President [Joe Biden] who is sitting right over his shoulder….Does he enjoy the benefits of the office but not the obligations?...He’s the only person ever to take the presidential oath who’s been accused by the leaders of his party in the House, the Senate and his own Vice President of actively working to overthrow an election and therefore break with that oath.”— Correspondent John Dickerson on CBS News’s live coverage of Donald Trump’s Inauguration, January 20, 2025.   Kamala’s Speech Was a “Call” to Defend America From “Peril” of Trump “What she [Kamala Harris] delivered was not just her record and not just a very strong indictment of Donald Trump and his positions, but a definition of America, and an America out of which….she grew….A middle-class America surrounded by nurses, firefighters, a blended family. One of the best lines…‘None of the family bound by blood but all of them bound by love.’ A family bound by love. She defined the America she came out of, and then is basically prosecuting the case to defend that America….The idea of her story could only happen in America and her argument is, and unless we defend that America will go away….That is a call to be inspired by her story, but it also contains that other part which is the peril.”— Correspondent John Dickerson on CBS’s live coverage of night four of the Democratic National Convention, August 22, 2024.   Obama Speeches At DNC Providing Needed “Nourishment”  “In 2012 I was in the Obama campaign headquarters. And they were feeling a little low, and staffers used to watch his old speeches on their computers as nourishment. These two speeches by the Obamas are going to serve that purpose.”— Correspondent John Dickerson on CBS News America Decides, August 20, 2024.   Hailing Heroic Joe for Stepping Down     “Here is somebody giving up power, okay, somebody who their whole career was counted out, so it’s giving up power and moving against personal instinct, which is ‘I’m going to show ‘em when they count me out’ and it’s worked for him. And that’s quite a contrast to Donald Trump, who was so desirous to hang on to power that according to the leaders in his own party, he inspired an attack on the Capitol.”— Correspondent John Dickerson on CBS News’s live coverage of President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race, July 22, 2024.   Biden Started the State of the Union Speech in “Fifth Gear”     “If you are going to set the stakes for a political moment, you can’t set them any higher than 1941 fighting before World War II. So, he [Joe Biden] set them immediately, he started in fifth gear….The only other historical moment that you would pick that has equal weight is the Civil War and he name-checked that too and why? He’s calling on the ghosts of January 6, which aren’t even ghosts. There are people in that room there who helped that happen….and one of America’s leading political parties in a democracy has just nominated or is going to nominate in a democracy, to be their candidate, someone who has worked actively to undermine democracy.”— CBS chief political analyst John Dickerson on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, March 7, 2024.   Mocking Trump When He Got COVID     Co-host Anthony Mason: “The President seemed to be flirting with the coronavirus by not wearing a mask and going to big rallies.”...Senior political analyst John Dickerson: “The President has downplayed the virus, he’s mocked mask wearing as recently as in the debate. And yet, the pandemic is relentless and does not care where it goes….it keeps that issue right at the center of the campaign, and the President’s response to it, which is not something that he wants at the center of the campaign because the polls have consistently shown that the country is disappointed with his handling of the issue.”— CBS This Morning, October 2, 2020.   America Does Not Need “Jagged,” But Trump Brought a “Saw Tooth”     “We have 200,000 dead from COVID, an economy that is cratering, and we have significant ongoing racial unrest over the injustices in the American system and when the stakes were that high, the debate couldn’t have been lower. And it was not an equal opportunity experience. The President of the United States, who has a duty and stewardship role in caring for those three things was, by far, responsible for a greater share of the jaggedness of tonight at a time when America does not need jagged….The President came, it seemed, with just a saw tooth.”— CBS 60 Minutes correspondent John Dickerson on CBS News: The First Presidential Debate, September 29, 2020.   Hillary: The Grandmother Running for Commander-in-Chief “Finally today, a word about motherhood. No matter how partisan or tough things get in politics, it’s always okay to praise your mother....And now we’ve got a mother and grandmother running for Commander-in-Chief. [to Hillary Clinton] When you’re out campaigning, are you following the example of your mother, or thinking about the example you’re setting for your daughter and granddaughter?”— Moderator John Dickerson wrapping up a tribute to mothers in politics on CBS’s Face the Nation, May 8, 2016.   Scoffing at Hillary’s E-Mail Scandal: It’s a “Stupid Issue” “What irritates people about Hillary Clinton, which is basically she was trying to have it both ways — and trying to have it both ways not on a stupid issue about e-mails, but on an important policy issue....”    — CBS Face the Nation host John Dickerson on Slate’s “Political Gabfest” podcast, April 22, 2016.   Dickerson’s Advice to Obama: “Go for the Throat” and “Destroy the GOP!”  “The president who came into office speaking in lofty terms about bipartisanship and cooperation can only cement his legacy if he destroys the GOP. If he wants to transform American politics, he must go for the throat….Obama’s only remaining option is to pulverize. Whether he succeeds in passing legislation or not, given his ambitions, his goal should be to delegitimize his opponents….By exploiting the weaknesses of today’s Republican Party Obama has an opportunity to hasten the demise of the old order by increasing the political cost of having the GOP coalition defined by Second Amendment absolutists, climate science deniers, supporters of ‘self-deportation’ and the pure no-tax wing.”— CBS News political director John Dickerson in January 18, 2013 Slate article: “Go for the Throat! Why if he wants to transform American politics, Obama must declare war on the Republican Party.”

Imagine dawn breaking over Nevada’s badlands. A herd of wild horses charges across the sagebrush, manes whipping in the wind — living emblems of American freedom, the soul of the West. Then the silence breaks. Helicopter blades thunder overhead, driving the animals into traps. Foals stumble. Mares collapse. Families scatter in terror.This isn’t a scene from frontier history. It’s happening now — a government-funded assault on one of the most enduring symbols of the American spirit. The Bureau of Land Management’s wild horse roundups have become routine cruelty disguised as “management.” And with the agency preparing its most aggressive operations yet, the time to act is now.No more federal helicopters terrorizing symbols of liberty while criminals flood our markets with cheap ‘beef.’Congress once recognized the value of these animals. The 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act promised protection and stewardship, not slaughter and imprisonment. But decades of mismanagement have turned that promise into a taxpayer-funded nightmare.The Bureau’s Wild Horse and Burro Program devours $142 million a year to chase, capture, and confine herds that should roam free. The agency calls it conservation. It looks more like erasure — the slow extermination of the very wildness that once defined the West.From Nevada into your ground beefMore than 64,000 wild horses and burros now languish in government holding pens — taxpayer-funded cages that solve nothing. The Bureau of Land Management calls it “management,” but it’s warehousing life. Meanwhile, the agency ignores real issues like overgrazing, water misallocation, and habitat loss.In Nevada, the carnage is especially stark. Last fiscal year, federal contractors ripped 2,196 horses from the Triple B Complex. Twenty-seven died on-site, collapsing under the stress of helicopter chases. The rest face grim odds in confinement, where mortality rates hover around 12%. Videos from inside these facilities show workers kicking panicked horses — proof that “humane management” has devolved into cruelty.The story doesn’t end in captivity. Many of these captured horses end up in the slaughter pipeline. Sold at auction for as little as $5 to $25 a head, they cross borders into Mexico and Canada, where their meat re-enters U.S. markets illegally — blended into ground beef at a time of soaring prices.This scandal isn’t just about animal welfare; it’s about corruption and public health. The same pipeline that traffics horse meat often intersects with drug and human smuggling networks, all subsidized by American taxpayers.Actress and horse rescuer Dawn Olivieri, known for her roles in “Yellowstone” and “Homestead,” has called out the hypocrisy: With beef prices at record highs, why is the government allowing wild horse meat to undercut the market — and endanger consumers? Call for accountabilityThe federal response has been a blueprint for more misery. The fiscal year 2026 presidential budget proposal guts the program by over 25%, slashing funding from $142 million to $100 million, all while dangling lethal options like euthanasia for healthy herds.Nevada's herds are ground zero. The Bureau of Land Management’s latest bombshell is a plan to yank nearly 5,000 wild horses from the Callaghan Complex using those same inhumane helicopter drives, ignoring fresh data and science on fertility controls or habitat restoration.This isn't land management. It's a war on wildlife, propping up special interests while ranchers and communities bear the brunt of unbalanced ecosystems and federal overreach.Demand action nowFixing this problem requires more than outrage — it demands bold, commonsense conservatism. Cut the waste, restore the range, and honor the law’s original intent.Start by releasing healthy captives into the designated herd areas envisioned by Congress in 1971. Doing so would ease the $142 million burden now falling on taxpayers and return the animals to the land they’re meant to roam.Replace helicopter roundups with proven, humane population control. PZP vaccines work. They prevent overbreeding without cruelty and cost a fraction of constant captures.Then empower local communities. Offer tax credits to ranchers who adopt sustainable grazing practices. Build revenue through eco-tourism — guided mustang trails, for instance — and expand adoption programs that put horses to work without the whip.Finally, shut down the slaughter pipeline for good. Enforce the Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act to ban horse meat exports nationwide and close the kill-buyer loopholes that make butchery profitable.RELATED: ASPCA, Humane Society live large on your donations, warns watchdog Photo Paul Harris/Getty ImagesThis battle echoes larger fights against government bloat. Just as we decry asset forfeiture abuses that seize property without due process, we must end the Bureau of Land Management’s unchecked grabs of Nevada's heritage. Fiscal hawks know the math: $142 million squandered yearly could fund tax relief for veterans or bolster border security.No more federal helicopters terrorizing living symbols of liberty while criminals flood our markets with cheap “beef.” The establishment thrives on apathy, but Nevadans, from ranchers to rescuers, aren't buying it. Nevada's wild horses aren't Washington's playthings — they're our legacy. Let's reclaim the range before the dust settles for good.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is up in arms over the imminent deportation of Sami Hamdi, a radical Islamic agitator from the United Kingdom who allegedly suggested the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks on Israel were worth celebrating.Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, confirmed in a statement to Blaze News that as the result of work undertaken by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, "this individual's visa was revoked and he is in ICE custody pending removal."As of Monday morning, the online Immigration and Customs Enforcement database does not presently have a Sami Hamdi from the U.K. listed as being in custody.'How many of you felt the euphoria, Allahu akbar?'"Under President Trump, those who support terrorism and undermine American national security will not be allowed to work or visit this country," continued McLaughlin. "It's commonsense."The State Department said in a statement, "We've said it before, we'll say it again: The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who support terrorism and actively undermine the safety of Americans."Hamdi's detention came just days after the RAIR Foundation USA published a damning report concerning the British national's history of radical remarks and associations, stating, "Every appearance Hamdi makes in America is not merely a speech — it operates effectively as a deployment node in an organized influence and mobilization program serving a foreign militant Islamic cause on U.S. soil. His talks are not educational but tactical."During an October 2023 panel discussion at a British mosque, Hamdi suggested that rather than pitying the Palestinians, Muslims should "celebrate the victory," apparently referencing the Hamas terror attacks that claimed the lives of over 1,200 people in Israel including 46 Americans."Allah has shown the world that no normalization can erase the Palestinian cause," said Hamdi. "When everybody thought it was finished, it's roaring. How many of you feel it in your hearts when you got the news that it happened? How many of you felt the euphoria, Allahu akbar? How many of you felt it? Why did you feel it? Because the despair vanished."RELATED: Nigerian Christians are being murdered by Islamic radicals. This congressman has had enough. Photo by Jacek Boczarski/Anadolu via Getty ImageHamdi also suggested that the reports of rapes by Hamas terrorists were lies.Although Hamdi has suggested that his remarks were misrepresented and has denied that he celebrated the events of Oct. 7, he has since characterized the Hamas terror attacks as a "natural consequence of the oppression that was being put on the Palestinians."Blaze News has reached out to Hamdi for comment.Hamdi, the managing director of a group that purportedly "advises on political environments across the globe," spoke on Saturday at the Sacramento Valley chapter of CAIR's annual banquet and was scheduled to speak to CAIR Florida on Sunday.Federal immigration officials detained Hamdi Sunday morning at San Francisco International Airport, cutting short his speaking tour.CAIR, whose co-founder said in a speech that the Hamas terror attacks on unarmed women and children made him "happy," condemned Hamdi's detention and called for his release.The organization — which the Justice Department named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism financing case — stated that "abducting a prominent British Muslim journalist and political commentator on a speaking tour in the United States because he dared to criticize the Israeli government's genocide is a blatant affront to free speech.""Our attorneys and partners are working to address this injustice. We call on ICE to immediately account for and release Mr. Hamdi, whose only 'crime' is criticizing a foreign government that committed genocide," continued the Washington, D.C.-based group. "Our nation must stop abducting critics of the Israeli government at the behest of unhinged Israel First bigots. This is an Israel First policy, not an America First policy, and it must end."The Muslim Council of Britain has signaled common cause with CAIR and called for the U.K. government to "take urgent diplomatic action" to ensure "Hamdi's rights are protected."Like Blaze News?

The maker of Tylenol is fighting back against proposed changes to its label.Kenvue, the American company behind Tylenol, says changes proposed by a recent petition would be "improper."'Fight like hell not to take it.'After the Trump administration linked the use of Tylenol during pregnancy to autism, the Informed Consent Action Network urged the FDA to "change the labels" for Tylenol and provide "crucial warnings for pregnant women and their care providers."No evidence for risk?Kenvue responded directly to the petition in its own document and said that changing the labeling to its over-the-counter acetaminophen products in such a manner would be "unsupported by the scientific evidence and legally and procedurally improper."Requesting that the consumer-facing warning addresses a risk between "acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental disorders" would allegedly go against the "overwhelming weight of the evidence contradicts the existence of any such risk," Kenvue claimed.The manufacturer called acetaminophen one of the "most studied medicines in history," with evidence regarding its use during pregnancy being "continuously evaluated by the FDA for more than a decade."It further claimed that available evidence does not support "a causal association between acetaminophen use in pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders, including ASD and ADHD."RELATED: Tylenol's concerns about possible autism risk date back more than a decade, documents reportedly show Billion-dollar brandCNN reported that Tylenol generates about $1 billion annually for Kenvue and is considered to be its top-selling brand.If the FDA agrees with ICAN's demand, Tylenol labels would need to be updated from its current instructions that say, "If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a health professional before use."President Trump had previously said during a press conference in September that if used during pregnancy, Tylenol was linked to a "very increased risk of autism.""Fight like hell not to take it," Trump added.RELATED: 'TrumpRx' website to offer discounted drugs as part of landmark Big Pharma deal Photo by Jordan Bank/NWSL via Getty Images New autism drugAt the same time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had begun its process to approve a treatment for autism-related symptoms.The FDA announced in late September that it had approved leucovorin calcium tablets for patients with "cerebral folate deficiency."The neurological condition affects folate transfer into the brain, the FDA said, adding that "individuals with cerebral folate deficiency have been observed to have developmental delays with autistic features.""We have witnessed a tragic four-fold increase in autism over two decades," said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has teased another presidential run despite her historic 2024 loss and widespread unpopularity. Even after her brutal electoral loss in November, Harris said in a recent interview that her political career was "not done" and that serving in public office was "in [her] bones."'They put you as an outsider, even behind Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.'"I am not done," Harris said. "I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it's in my bones, and there are many ways to serve.""I have not decided yet what I will do in the future beyond what I am doing right now." RELATED: Exclusive: Steve Scalise was shot by a radical leftist — now he reacts to Jay Jones' murderous fantasies Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty ImagesAlthough Harris teased the idea of being the first female president, the interviewer gave her a blunt reality check. The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg pushed back, pointing out that she's simply not popular enough to be a politically viable candidate. "But when you look at the bookies' odds, they put you as an outsider, even behind Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson," Kuenssberg said. "I mean, is that underestimating you?""I think there are all kinds of polls that will tell you a variety of things," Harris said. "I've never listened to polls. If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office or my second office. And I certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview." Losing to Trump in all seven swing states and in the popular vote indicated a resounding rejection from the American people. Even still, Harris seems to remain hopeful of the presidency, which critics attribute to simple self-delusion. "Kamala came across as a whiny, delusional, angry and bitter woman who cannot accept that she was a terrible candidate who got the shellacking she deserved at the ballot box," Piers Morgan said in a post on X. "No chance she ever gets another go at it."RELATED: Democrats feign outrage as Trump administration shutdown layoffs hit: 'They seem to be enjoying it' Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty ImagesAlthough Harris made clear that preliminary polls won't deter her from weighing her options, the failed candidate may have some stiff competition. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California also hinted at a presidential bid in a recent interview with CBS, saying he would be lying if he didn't acknowledge the possibility. "Who the hell knows?" Newsom said. "I'm looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. That's the question for the American people." When pressed about whether he would consider running after the 2026 midterms, Newsom admitted that it was a real possibility. "Yeah, I'd be lying otherwise," Newsom replied.Like Blaze News?
