Swifties are not gonna like this. After weeks of backlash against Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker for his pro-woman, pro-tradition, and pro-religion speech at the commencement ceremony at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, his celebrity teammate Travis Kelce spoke out in defense of Butker - which is huge, considering the fact that Kelce is dating pop singer/songwriter Taylor Swift, whose fans roasted Butker’s stance and traditional values. Here’s an excerpt from Butker’s speech on May 11 that garnered so much controversy: How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. Butker also condemned IVF and abortion as ways of “playing God.” Butker has been roasted by mainstream media, celebrities, and even other athletes over his traditional views and values. But on Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end came out in defense of Butker.

And I cherish him as a teammate,” Kelce said on “New Heights,” a podcast he hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, a former Eagles player.   Kelce added the following about Butker, who he calls “Harry”: He’s treated friends and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness and that’s how he treats everyone. When it comes down to his views and what he said at Saint Benedict’s commencement speech, those are his. I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids and I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life. That’s just not who I am. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared a similar sentiment on Wednesday, noting that Butker was a “good person” regardless of whether or not he necessarily agreed with him. While Travis Kelce annoys me and Taylor Swift can’t sing, I appreciate that Kelce, given his place in pop culture right now, defended his friend and acknowledged what we’ve been saying throughout this whole process: we’re all entitled to our own opinions and have a constitutional right to proclaim those opinions.  Follow us on Twitter/X: Despite the leftist mob coming to cancel him, The Kansas City Chiefs are standing behind Harrison Butker.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell spread straight-up disinformation on her Friday show as she accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of condemning the famous 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education that ruled segregation unconstitutional because, apparently, nobody at MSNBC knows how to read. The context was the Court ruling that South Carolina did not do anything illegal in not drawing a second district where black voters would’ve made a substantial portion of the electorate. Addressing the NCAAP’s Janai Nelson, Mitchell read, “something that really was striking to me is Justice Clarence Thomas in his concurring opinion with the majority, he also went after Brown v. Board of Education, saying quote ‘such extravagant uses of judicial power are at odds with the history and tradition of the equity power and the Framers’ design.’”     Flabbergasted, she continued, “Now, Clarence Thomas took the seat of Thurgood Marshall, who argued Brown v. Board for the Legal Defense Fund. This landmark case that changed America forever. So, I’m just-- I can't get over that. Tell me what your reaction is.” Most people know Brown was decided in 1954 and banned segregation, but fewer people are aware of a second case decided in 1955 with the same name. It was that one Thomas was criticizing. Here’s what he wrote in full context: The Court’s ‘impatience with the pace of desegregation’ caused by resistance to Brown v. Board of Education, … ‘led us to approve . . . extraordinary remedial measures,’ … In the follow-on case to Brown, the Court considered ‘the manner in which relief [was] to be accorded’ for vindication of ‘the fundamental principle that racial discrimination in public education is unconstitutional.’ Brown v. Board of Education, … (1955) (Brown II). In doing so, the Court took a boundless view of equitable remedies, describing equity as being “characterized by a practical flexibility in shaping its remedies and by a facility for adjusting and reconciling public and private needs. That understanding may have justified temporary measures to 'overcome the widespread resistance to the dictates of the Constitution' prevalent at that time, but, as a general matter, ‘[s]uch extravagant uses of judicial power are at odds with the history and tradition of the equity power and the Framers’ design.’” Thomas clearly wrote “Brown II” and was clearly not condemning desegregation. Of course, Nelson wasn’t going to call Mitchell out on her disinformation. Instead, she also claimed Thomas was talking about Brown I and accused Thomas of being the one spreading fake news, “Well, we know Justice Thomas took the seat, but he did not fill it and what he did in disseminating disinformation about a landmark decision whose commemoration we just honored this past Friday, 70 years since Brown we see a Supreme Court justice who benefitted from Brown, as did every American, castigating that case, misconstruing it and suggesting that it stands for something that it does not.” Andrea Mitchell has been forced to issue multiple corrections for spreading fake news. It is time she does so again. Here is a transcript for the May 24 show: MSNBC Andrea Mitchell Reports 5/24/2024 12:49 PM ET ANDREA MITCHELL: And also, Janai, something that really was striking to me is Justice Clarence Thomas in his concurring opinion with the majority, he also went after Brown v. Board of Education, saying quote “such extravagant uses of judicial power are at odds with the history and tradition of the equity power and the Framers’ design.” Now, Clarence Thomas took the seat of Thurgood Marshall, who argued Brown v. Board for the Legal Defense Fund. This landmark case that changed America forever. So, I’m just-- I can't get over that. Tell me what your reaction is. JANAI NELSON: Well, we know Justice Thomas took the seat, but he did not fill it and what he did in disseminating disinformation about a landmark decision whose commemoration we just honored this past Friday, 70 years since Brown we see a Supreme Court justice who benefitted from Brown, as did every American, castigating that case, misconstruing it and suggesting that it stands for something that it does not. Brown requires that we provide equal access to our democracy through education, and it's anchored in the idea of citizenship. Brown said that one of the most important functions of local and state government is to provide an education for purposes of citizenship, and citizenship could not be more clearly exercised than through the voting process, and what the Supreme Court has done in Alexander v. South Carolina is completely distort that process, manipulate it, and allow partisan actors to completely capture that process in a way that directly harms black voters. It’s an invitation to exploit black voters for partisan gain.

Syndicated radio host Mark Levin excoriated President Joe Biden for presiding over an economy so bad that even fast food is increasingly unaffordable.  During the May 22 edition of The Mark Levin Show, Levin tied steep prices hikes at formerly affordable fast food chains to out-of-control spending in D.C. Levin addressed the historical importance of cheap, processed food in America, before tackling a Breitbart report that detailed major price increases at chains such as Chick-fil-A, Popeyes, Wendy’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Chipotle and Starbucks.   After addressing how many Americans have long relied on processed food or fast food, Levin pointed out that Americans need cheap food prices more than ever. “Now when you have an economy where the interest rates are through the roof, where the inflation is through the roof and you have a husband and a wife and two or three or four kids or a single parent with two or three kids it is tough going,” Levin said. He added: “I’m sure those kids would love to have fresh beef or chicken or fish or turkey. I’m sure they would love to have fresh vegetables. I’m sure they’d love it. But they can’t afford it, not with Bidenomics!” Levin didn’t mince words on the reason for these higher prices. “This is what happens when you have massive government spending, massive government debt, massive government borrowing. I’ve said it here for 22 d*mn years, inflation, inflation, inflation, it is a killer,” Levin said. “It destroys the market system. It distorts the value of the dollar.” The radio host also ripped Biden for being deceptive about inheriting 9% inflation from former President Donald Trump (Inflation was 1.4% in Jan 2021). Levin called out another Biden attempt to deflect blame onto the fast food companies. “So he blamed the businesses that are trying desperately to cope with the economic conditions he created, with the minimum wage conditions that he and others have created, with the supply chain problems he has created,” Levin said.  Conservatives are under attack! Contact ABC News at (818) 460-7477, CBS News at (212) 975-3247 and NBC News at (212) 664-6192 and demand they tell the truth about the Bidenomics disaster.

College students were quizzed by social media influencer Zach Sage Fox, and despite offering them a $100 prize for correct answers, they weren’t able to pull it off. “Have you guys chanted, ‘From the river to the sea'?” Fox asks one student, who answers, “Yes.” “Okay, which river? Which sea?” He presses. This particular student is attending Sarah Lawrence, where the tuition is over $85,000 a year. “She knows it's Jordan and Mediterranean,” Pat Gray says. “She knows that.” “Because the state of education right now, with Biden in office, is so good that you would think she’d immediately know,” he jokes. While Gray had hope, the girl, who was holding a pro-Palestinian sign, did not know the answer. “What does Hamas say their number one goal is according to their charter?” Fox asked another pro-Palestinian student. “They just want to free Palestine,” the student answers. “No,” Fox says. “Murder all Jews around the world.” “How many years did Israel occupy Gaza?” he asks more students, who all get it wrong. “It was actually under Egyptian control for the first twenty or so years, and then Israel actually left Gaza in 2006,” Fox explains to the clueless students, before asking one of the most chilling questions of all. “How much have our foreign adversaries donated to American universities in the last decade?” he asks, to which again, no one knows the answer. “The answer was over six billion,” he says. “That says everything right there. You don’t think they have influence over your kid’s education?” Keith Malinak says.

When Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s wife flew an upside-down American flag over their home, the New York Times was not happy. Now, the New York Times is upset with the justice again — this time because he flew an "Appeal to Heaven" pine tree flag outside his New Jersey beach home. The Times is claiming this is a popular symbol among January 6 “insurrectionists.” While the New York Times clearly has no idea what they’re talking about, they’re in luck. Because Glenn Beck does know what he’s talking about, and he’s here to give them a much needed history lesson. “That was the symbol of New England since the 16th century. Why? Because New England had big pine trees. Why was that important? Because they could build ships and build them for England or whoever and ship giant masts, which were hard to find because nobody had the giant pine trees that New England had,” Glenn explains. The flag is also symbolic of “the Great Peacemaker,” who was with the Iroquois Indians. The peacemaker had convinced warring nations to bury their weapons under a pine tree. “So, it is also the symbol of the tree of peace,” Glenn says. “It was also on the coinage produced by the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and it became the symbol of the colonial iron resistance as well as a multi-tribal support for independence now,” he adds. The phrase “Appeal to Heaven” is also an expression of the right to revolution, which Glenn jokes comes from the “outrageous killer John Locke.” “Let me just boil this down,” he explains. “This flag is first a sign of the pine tree as trade, okay? It is also a sign of peace among the Indians. It is then added to that ‘the appeal to heaven’ comes from John Locke and what he wrote in 1690. It was a refute of the theory of the divine right of kings.” Glenn has his own interpretation of the flag, and it’s not a symbol of insurrection. “I always interpreted that flag as an appeal to heaven for common sense and for help. Please Lord, help us, and it would go right along with an upside-down flag,” he explains, adding, “We’re in distress. Can we please look to God and beg for his mercy and guidance. How unbelievably controversial is that.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

AI-generated content has seeped into the media sphere over the last couple of years, raising questions about how it could impact the integrity of journalism and other digital content in the coming years. A "content solutions" company called AdVon recently made headlines after being snuffed out for creating AI-generated content and using fake bylines for product reviews. These reviews were later published by major news outlets such as Hollywood Life, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and Us Weekly. AdVon was also behind the dissolution of Sports Illustrated, which published many articles by fake writers. The publisher eventually lost the rights to the name Sports Illustrated. 'AI will never be able to practice investigative journalism or have the style of a Jason Whitlock or a Matt Taibbi or pick your favorite writer.' In 2023, Arena Group — the publisher of Sports Illustrated — said the "articles in question were product reviews and were licensed content from an external third-party company, AdVon Commerce. A number of AdVon’s e-commerce articles ran on certain Arena websites. We continually monitor our partners and were in the midst of a review when these allegations were raised. AdVon has assured us that all of the articles in question were written and edited by humans.” Despite the fallout, AdVon continues to linger around, publishing AI-generated content for major outlets under fake bylines. But it did not start this way. AdVon was initially a company that hired overseas contractors to write various product reviews. Some of these employees claimed that their written reviews were later used to train language models before their jobs were entirely replaced by artificial intelligence. Consequently, the writers were tasked with editing and polishing AI-generated content. Samuel Hammond, senior economist at Foundation for American Innovation, told Blaze News that "generative AI is enabling the rise of massive content farms that churn out videos, articles, and other forms of online media at staggering scales. That includes articles designed to look like original news or reporting and content strategies for optimizing placement in search engines." AdVon not only raises questions about how AI may be used to mislead people who are looking at these product reviews, but it also raises broader questions about AI's rightful place within the media landscape. The future of AI's push into news media could be more significant than producing fake product reviews under fake bylines. AI currently has a bias problem Ken LaCorte, former Fox News executive and host of the "Elephants in Rooms" YouTube channel, told Blaze News that one of the fundamental issues with AI right now is that it has the "built-in leftist bias of Silicon Valley embedded into it, and that's going to be a fight [for conservatives]." He went on to say that the media "shouldn't be afraid that AI might cause them to report some bad facts. The media's problem with credibility right now isn't because they report bad facts. They actually do a pretty good job of reporting truth from falsehood." "The media's credibility has been shattered because they're pretending to be non-biased when, in fact, their main job is to get those facts and shoehorn them in a way to have you vote for their candidate." Researchers in the U.K. conducted a study in 2023 that featured academics from the University of East Anglia asking OpenAI's ChatGPT a series of political questions. The questions were structured in such a way that the answers could decisively be identified as a Republican, Democrat, or unspecified position. The responses provided by the AI chatbot were then taken and mapped onto the current political landscape. The researchers said they found "robust evidence that ChatGPT presents a significant and systematic political bias toward the Democrats in the U.S., Lula in Brazil, and the Labour Party in the U.K." The New York Post reported that ChatGPT had already shown its hand by refusing to write a story about Hunter Biden in the style of the Post, but it did not seem to have a problem with writing a story about him in the style of CNN. Despite these alarming revelations, most journalists are leveraging AI technologies to help them complete work-related tasks. How journalists are leveraging AI tools In April, Forbes reported that the Associated Press Generative AI in Journalism study revealed that close to 70% of professionals in the news industry have leaned on AI to help them produce content. Other popular uses of AI technology in the news industry have been for business tasks, information gathering, and multimedia content. Despite using AI, these professionals have expressed concern about how generative AI could affect their profession in the future. Felix Simon, who published a white paper for the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia, said that there was no reason to that AI presented an existential threat to journalism. Simon wrote in the paper that AI “mostly constitutes a retooling of the news rather than a fundamental change in the needs and motives of news organizations. It does not impact the fundamental need to access and gather information, to process it into 'news,' to reach existing and new audiences, and to make money.” Simon's comment about "a retooling of the news" could also mean the end of human-driven news aggregation, which is widely prevalent across major news outlets at the moment. "Over the last decade, cable news channels and major papers like the New York Times have closed foreign bureaus and slashed budgets for investigative reporting in favor of political clickbait and sensationalist content," Hammond said. "They were arguably forced to move away from good old-fashioned journalism to simply stay afloat in the internet age. But with AI, content generation is a game traditional media outlets simply can't win, at least without compromising their values and integrity. If mainstream media becomes one AI content farm among many, they will cease to exist," Hammond said. However, Peter Gietl, Blaze Media managing editor for Return, said that "there's no reason we need this many [human] aggregators, and AI taking over is not a net loss for writing in the totality." The argument suggests that if AI takes over the news aggregation part of media, talented journalists will still be able to create original long-form news stories that appeal to a wide audience. "What this will cause is, hopefully, readers to appreciate well-reasoned, intelligent, and original writing possessing some personality and verve. I haven't seen any evidence AI can create this type of original and fascinating writing. AI will never be able to practice investigative journalism or have the style of a Jason Whitlock or a Matt Taibbi or pick your favorite writer." "I think X and Substack have shown there is a hunger for original thought and superlative style," Gietl continued. "AI will replace a lot of low-effort, boring content creation. However, it will never be able to replace the men and women crafting the prose that moves humans." LaCorte appeared to agree, noting that "AI can't stand in front of a courthouse, or call up a lawyer and ask their opinion on something, or interview a plane crash victim." If there is a future in which AI takes over news aggregation and other "low-effort" writing tasks, many freelancers and copywriters could be out of a job. However, Gietl said he believes "there were way too many writers to begin with," adding that Alphabet, Google's parent company is primarily to blame. He went on to say that Google determined that the best way to "reward websites with traffic and rise in the rankings was to have original content." This ultimately led to the "proliferation of terribly composed, incoherent writing, existing with the sole purpose of getting clicks and selling products or services," Gietl said. While it is still uncertain how far AI will push into the media landscape in the near future, it is here to stay, in one form or another. Like Blaze News?

Democratic strategist James Carville, like others in his party, has grown increasingly worried about President Joe Biden's re-electability. In March, the 79-year-old partisan said that when looking at Biden's approval rating, "It's like walking in on your grandma naked. You can't get the image out of your mind." At the time, Biden's approval rating was 40% and his disapproval rating was 55%. Things have not improved for the geriatric president. While the latest national Emerson College poll has Biden's disapproval rating sitting marginally better at 52%, his approval rating has slipped to 37%. The RealClear Polling average has Biden's disapproval rating at 56.3% and his approval rating south of 40%. Carville, who previously advised failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and managed Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign, told the New York Times in March that Biden was hemorrhaging black voters, black men in particular, and suggested "preachy females" dominating the culture of the Democratic Party were partly to blame. On the Thursday episode of his podcast "Politics War Room," Carville assessed some of the strategic troubles Democrats face going into the 2024 election, including their inability to identify and align around an effective line of attack on Trump. He suggested that another problem — a problem that may account for Biden's lackluster performance in the polls, which now show him trailing former President Donald Trump nationally as well as in critical swing states — is the White House's leftward lurch. 'They can't even win in deep-blue areas and they come into conflict with loosely aligned voters that we have to have.' "If I had one question I'd love for the Biden White House to answer: 'Why are they so afraid of the left?'" said Carville, "I mean they f*** them up on immigration policy. They can't even win in deep-blue areas, and they come into conflict with loosely aligned voters that we have to have. They have very little connection to black America at all. Yet, they proportionally punch way above their weight." While admitting he did not understand the trend, Carville noted, "There's got to be a reason for it. I just don't see why people even fear these people. I really don't. And they're just a drag on everything. But one day, someone will explain it to me." Extra to being dragged down by fellow radicals, Carville has elsewhere suggested Biden is tanking in the polls on account of his decrepitude. Carville told former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki Monday, "The age issue is suffocating him, and he needs to bring up that he's only four years older than Trump." The Daily Caller highlighted that Carville is not the only Democrat to have expressed concerns over Biden's chances in recent days. Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight recently noted, "Usually when you are behind in an election, and Biden is behind right now in a very large majority of swing-state polls, you want more uncertainty, you want more variance, meaning that you should want more debates because they add volatility to the election and instead Biden wants fewer. That to me is a really, really, really, really bad sign for his campaign." Silver followed up with an X post noting, "If Biden is still struggling in August he needs to consider stepping aside. It's not a great situation for Ds either way, but you have to do due diligence on the question. It's an important election, obviously. It shouldn't be taboo to talk about." Like Blaze News?
