When you hear liberals complaining about how the media today are in urgent danger of “bending the knee” to President Trump, point and laugh and think about the Kennedy family. Journalists bending the knee to the Kennedys has been mandatory since the 1950s. That’s their most obvious form of white privilege. It’s still happening. In the last few days, CBS and CNN have offered puffy profiles of John Bouvier Kennedy (Jack) Schlossberg, the only grandson of JFK. At 33, he’s running for Congress in New York City to replace Rep. Jerry Nadler. The CBS show Sunday Morning operates like an assembly line of Democrat puff pieces. In this case, Mo Rocca channeled all the Camelot energy and then noted Trump put his own name on the Kennedy Center. Rocca asked Schlossberg an unserious question: “Do you think that Trump is going to have it razed to the ground?” Schlossberg compared the president to an assassin: “I think he could easily demolish it. He`s trying to kill JFK. JFK will never die because he’s kept alive by the people who are fighting, organizing, and rising up now to remove Trump from power.” CNN host Dana Bash promised she’d put her Schlossberg piece on her Sunday show State of the Union, but war in Iran changed that plan. This was Bash’s idea of a tough question: “I heard you say that you're an outsider in this race. To people who are on the outside, they hear you say you're an outsider, and they're like, come on.” Schlossberg easily answered: “I know. It's ironic coming out of my mouth, with the Kennedy legacy and what I represent. It might be hard to believe, but it's absolutely true.” It’s true that Jerry Nadler would rather be replaced by somebody else, but no one else in this primary is going to get gushy press clips from national TV. CBS and NBC each launched morning-show gush when he announced his campaign last November. Bash also briefly noted some people say Schlossberg’s “never had a real job.” That argument is true. The Washington Free Beacon reported Schlossberg received no "earned income" in 2025, but holds millions of dollars worth of assets in four trust funds. He told Bash that creating content for his social-media followers is a “full-time job.” Rocca’s toughest question on CBS was about that content. “Some of it`s very funny, but I`ll tell you one that made me wince,” Rocca said. It was about Vice President J.D. Vance’s wife Usha. “Specifically the one where you superimposed your face on one of her kids. The joke being that you and she had a love child. Now, she`s not elected. Is that crossing a line?” Schlossberg didn’t flinch: “I think what’s crossing a line is the propaganda that we see issued every single day by the White House and -- and Vance, okay?...So what are we going to do? Hold back on our sense of humor and not tease them?” Schlossberg creepily joked about Mrs. Vance: “I’m having a son!! I’m so excited about this. Cannot wait for the birth of my next child because today was the best day of my life,” he wrote on X, adding “Out of wedlock, yes. But we might get married.” This primary election might demonstrate that being a Kennedy means that you can be a completely shameless and hateful troll on social media and still get elected by Democrats. Or this will be another sad chapter about how the Kennedy magic isn’t working with voters – even if the media elite’s still bending the knee. 

Commentators keep treating President Trump’s moves against Venezuela and Iran as random, emotional, or “impulsive.” They aren’t. They read like strategic actions aimed at the real peer adversary — China — which now finds itself short roughly 20% of a key commodity that powers everything from industrial output to military operations: oil.Orange Man Bad managed to hit another long-term communist adversary at the same time: Cuba.Trump isn’t sending Marines to Havana. He’s squeezing the regime into an economic takeover.After the Maduro snatch-and-bag operation — and after Washington threatened heavy tariffs on Mexico if it kept shipping petroleum products to Cuba — Havana’s fuel supply has reportedly fallen to roughly 35% of its monthly needs.In 2025, Cuba imported about 13.7 million barrels of oil — roughly 112,000 barrels per day of crude and refined petroleum products — supplied primarily by Venezuela (about 61% of imports) and Mexico (about 25%), with Russia and Algeria covering most of the rest.Trump’s executive order in late January authorized heavy tariffs on any country supplying oil to Cuba. Mexico suspended shipments to avoid U.S. retaliation. At the same time, a de facto maritime quarantine has targeted “ghost tankers” attempting to evade sanctions. Even Russian deliveries have run into trouble. Reports say the tanker Sea Horse, carrying roughly 200,000 barrels of Russian gas and oil, diverted in late February to avoid seizure or sanctions risk.Cuba now faces a severe fuel crunch.International observers — including U.N.-linked agencies — have described the situation as catastrophic. The island’s power grid has slid toward collapse, and the global fuel spike tied to U.S. action in Iran has only tightened the vise.The petroleum deficit has reportedly cut national electricity generation capacity by about 65%. That leaves roughly one-third of needed power available at any given time. In Santiago de Cuba and Guantánamo, residents report blackouts lasting more than 20 hours a day. In Havana, scheduled cuts reportedly jumped from four hours to as many as 18 hours a day. Hospitals have reportedly performed surgeries by cellphone light. Water systems that rely on electric pumps have failed across large areas. Garbage collection in Havana has stalled because the trucks are out of gas.The communist government has responded with wartime austerity measures. Major airports have suspended refueling for international flights. Airlines such as Air Canada and Air France have canceled or rerouted flights, gutting tourism — one of the regime’s few remaining sources of cash. State companies have shifted to reduced schedules to conserve power.RELATED: Iran, China, and Trump’s ‘art of the squeal’ Photo by the White House via X Account/Anadolu via Getty ImagesWashington has offered one narrow escape valve. On February 25, the U.S. issued a limited license allowing American companies to sell oil to Cuba’s emerging private sector. Analysts have described it as “a drop in the bucket.” It isn’t enough to run the heavy thermoelectric plants the national grid needs.Last week, Trump publicly floated the idea of a “friendly takeover” of Cuba. The phrase stays diplomatically vague, but the surrounding actions and rhetoric suggest a specific approach. Trump described Cuba as a failing nation because it has “no money. They have no anything right now.”He isn’t going to send a Marine expeditionary force to Havana. He’s pressuring the regime to cut a deal that looks like gently coerced economic integration: end the communist monopoly over banking and energy, allow U.S. firms to buy and operate failing infrastructure (telecom, ports, the power grid), and expand the private sector until the Communist Party can’t enforce centralized control.Secretary of State Marco Rubio has echoed that direction. He has argued that Cuba needs a “different economic model” and said the U.S. would welcome reforms that open space for economic and political freedom. Reports also suggest back-channel contact, though the administration has not confirmed details.Cuba’s current leader, Communist Party chief Miguel Díaz-Canel, now sits in the position of a man about to get a colonoscopy. He should pray Orange Man Bad feels generous with the sedation — or he’ll learn the hard way what “the art of the squeal” means.

Republican lawmakers in West Virginia and Kentucky are working on making it easier for Americans to acquire fully automatic firearms — a move that might catch on in other red states.Machine guns — defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives as a firearm that can fire "automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger" — are heavily regulated in the United States.While such weapons can be privately owned, Americans are greatly limited in what they can buy and must jump through numerous hoops to seal the deal.'This is our constitutional right.'Per the Firearm Owners' Protection Act, civilians are barred from possessing a machine gun manufactured after May 19, 1986. Limited supply means a higher price — Silencer Central says that prospective buyers should expect to spend a minimum of $6,000 to $10,000.Interested American buyers at least 21 years of age, neither a felon nor a fugitive, and living in a state without a machine gun ban must pass an AFT background check, pay a one-time $200 transfer tax, and get approval from the government in order to take possession. Once those hurdles are cleared, they can take the machine gun home but fire it only on closed target ranges.In West Virginia, Republican state Sens. Chris Rose and Zack Maynard recently introduced legislation that would establish within the West Virginia State Police an office of public defense that would oversee the procurement and sale of machine guns to "qualified members of the public," namely any citizen presently eligible to purchase and possess firearms under West Virginia and federal law.The Cowboy State Daily reported that the new office would be authorized to transfer newer machine guns to state residents.Blaze News has reached out to state Sen. Rose for clarification about whether out-of-state American citizens would be able to acquire a machine gun from the proposed authority.RELATED: Virginians oppose Richmond's war on the Second Amendment: Poll Photographer: Luke Sharrett/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesThe preamble of the bill states both that "the Framers understood the Second Amendment to guarantee armament parity between the American citizen and government infantryman" and that "it is in the public interest of the State of West Virginia and its people that American citizens be armed and better able to assist in the defense of the State, and to resist tyranny, using bearable firearms commonly used in modern warfare."The legislation would ensure that machine guns made available to citizens in the state through the proposed office would "be the same as, or of like kind to, those machineguns currently in use by law enforcement or the United States Armed Forces, and shall include but not be limited to AR-15/M16-platform, M249-type, and MP5-type Machineguns."Kentucky state Rep. TJ Roberts (R) has introduced a nearly identical bill that would create a sub-office within the Kentucky State Police to acquire and transfer guns to qualified Kentuckians.Roberts stated on X, "Law-abiding Kentuckians should be able to own any type of firearm they choose (including machine guns), as this is our constitutional right."The Kentucky version specifies that a "qualified person" is "a person who is eligible to purchase and possess firearms under Kentucky and federal law." In Kentucky, out-of-state residents who are U.S. citizens have the right to purchase firearms.Mark Jones, the national director of Gun Owners of America — the organization that authored the bill — told Cowboy State Daily that similar legislation is "doable in Wyoming" and that a Wyoming version of the bill might be introduced next year."Prior to the session, I had discussions about it with Wyoming legislators, but we didn’t have enough time to draft a bill," Jones said. "We decided to focus on the four major (gun-related) bills that are now poised to pass in 2026 and reconsider the 1071 concept next year."While recognizing this legal approach as workable, George Mocsary, a law professor at the University of Wyoming and director of the school's Firearms Research Center, told the Cowboy State Daily that Congress might intervene and overturn the proposed law if passed.He noted, however, "If it works, I could totally see it catching on, particularly here in Wyoming, and with our northern neighbors in Montana."Like Blaze News?

This has probably happened to you at least once: You’re excited to upgrade your iPhone to a shiny new model. You get it all set up with your data and apps. Everything’s ready to go. Then you see it — that glaring red alert in your Settings app that says you’re out of storage. “How is that possible?” you wonder, and rightfully so. Your new phone shouldn’t already be out of storage! Should you buy more? It depends on what that alert actually means and what you can do about it. Let me explain.iPhone storage explainedYour iPhone comes with two types of storage: local and cloud.Local storage is the physical storage on your device that saves your apps, settings, data, and more. This is the option you choose when you purchase your phone, and once you walk out of the store, it can’t be changed. You’re stuck with it until the next time you upgrade your device. Most new iPhones come with 256GB or more, but if your device is a little older, it could have even less.Apple wants you to buy more iCloud storage, even if you don’t necessarily need it.Cloud storage, or more specifically iCloud storage, is the storage plan attached directly to your Apple account that backups and syncs your apps, settings, and data. All accounts come with 5GB of free storage, and unlike local storage, iCloud can be expanded, to anywhere from 50GB to 12TB, for a recurring monthly fee.The only way your new iPhone can be out of storage is if you downgraded the storage capacity to an option less than your previous device (for instance, if your old iPhone was a 512GB model and your new one only has 256GB) and your apps no longer fit. Alternatively, iCloud will show an alert when it’s full. Eight times out of 10, the iCloud storage is the problem.How to check storage levels on iPhoneTo be certain, there’s an easy way to check the local storage in your iPhone, as well as the storage in your iCloud account.RELATED: Out of phone storage? Try this free alternative to updating or upgrading Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty ImagesFor local storage, open the Settings app. Tap “General,” then open “iPhone Storage.” It may take a few seconds to a minute for this screen to fully populate, so give it a moment. Once the chart shows up, you’ll see a complete breakdown of your iPhone’s local storage, including downloaded applications, music, photos, messages, and other system data. This is a great way to see which apps take up the most space on your device, and the recommendations section may also tell you which apps you can offload based on your usage habits. If you’re almost out of local storage, you can delete apps from this screen by tapping on an app and hitting the “Delete App” button. Screenshots by Zach LaidlawTo check iCloud storage, head back to the beginning of the Settings app. Tap your name at the top of the screen, then “iCloud.” This page shows you a comprehensive breakdown of all the data synced to your iCloud account. To take an even closer look, tap on “Storage” at the top. From here, you can see capacity totals for your device backups, iCloud Drive files, photos, messages, and iCloud-connected apps. If you’re almost out of iCloud storage, you can either upgrade to a higher-tier storage plan, or you can delete old files from your iCloud account to make more room.Before you do anything, though, there’s one last thing everyone with a new iPhone should do first. Screenshots by Zach LaidlawThe real reason your iCloud storage is fullFor those with a brand-new iPhone and a storage capacity alert, your iCloud storage is most likely full because a backup of your old iPhone is still saved on your account, taking up vital space that your new iPhone needs for its own backup.From the main iCloud settings page, tap on “iCloud Backup” to see a complete list of your backed-up Apple devices. This should include your new iPhone, your old iPhone, and possibly an iPad (if you own one). Next, you need to delete the backup of your old phone to make room for your new device.WARNING: After you delete the backup of your old phone, you will not have a current backup of any iPhone at all until you back up the new model. That means that if something happens to your new phone before you back it up, you will lose some data attached to the phone (like your home screen layout, app settings, and other local files). Other files you have synced to iCloud – like Notes, Messages, Photos, etc. — are not at risk of being lost or deleted. Still, this is why you should immediately run a backup of your new phone to make sure all your data is still safe and secure.To delete the backup of your old iPhone, tap on your old device, and select “Turn Off and Delete from iCloud” to seal the deal. Lastly, from the same iCloud backup page, select “Back Up Now.” This will create a new backup file for your new device. Screenshots by Zach LaidlawYou probably don’t need more storageAs you can see, local iPhone storage and cloud-based iCloud storage are connected to each other, and although you need both of them to keep your device synced and running properly, they’re not the same. The worst part is that Apple doesn’t make a clear enough distinction between the two when one runs out.The truth is that Apple wants you to buy more iCloud storage, even if you don’t necessarily need it. This is why the company still provides only 5GB of free storage while competitors offer much more. Luckily, there are more ways you can free up storage on iPhone, both from the device and the cloud.In some cases, iCloud storage upgrades are unavoidable, especially if you own multiple Apple devices backed up to the cloud. But if your old phone was backed up to iCloud without any storage warnings, your new phone will also likely fit after you make room.Whatever you do, check your physical storage and iCloud storage capacities before you purchase more. There’s a high chance you don’t need an upgrade.
