An unmatched feeling. The post Dave Grohl always knew the “fearless” Queens Of The Stone Age could do anything first appeared on Far Out Magazine.

It was sometime in late July that the House Committee on Homeland Security convened in one of the many hearing rooms in the Capitol complex with the goal of interviewing three witnesses about the somewhat boring topic of non-governmental organizations’ involvement in facilitating the Biden border crisis. As a general rule, congressional hearings are humdrum. They tend to receive rather uninspiring titles and involve a lot of posturing and not a lot of listening. The most exciting moments generally end up on our X feeds, where they drum up a bit of hype before disappearing into the internet void. This particular hearing in July was, of course, not all that different — it should have been. The newsworthy part of the hearing wasn’t that non-profit organizations working with the Biden administration had made the illegal immigration crisis at the border worse — if anything, that was entirely predictable. No, the newsworthy bite was that the Biden administration had allegedly missed 65,000 phone calls. In 2023, the Biden administration had a problem: unaccompanied kids were showing up on our southern border in such large numbers that they threatened to drown the Department of Health and Human Services. The procedure for handling these kids was to get them out of government custody and into the homes of relatives and sponsors while the kids waited for a court date. The kids were told to call a hotline should they run into any problems. So HHS skimped on the vetting process, and sex traffickers promptly took advantage of the system. On the one hand, the administration was pressuring HHS to get the kids out of government custody because it didn’t want to deal with the optics of children in Border Patrol cells. On the other hand, vetting sponsors and relatives properly takes a lot of time (ask anyone who has tried to help out with the foster care system), and time was something HHS didn’t have. (READ MORE: Importing the Rot: How the U-Visa Became a Fraud Bazaar) So HHS skimped on the vetting process, and sex traffickers promptly took advantage of the system. Ali Hopper, president and founder of GUARD Against Trafficking, told the House Committee in July in her official statement that an internal audit of HHS found “approximately 70 percent of sponsor applications examined were … fraudulent.” One field specialist from the Office of Refugee Resettlement visited a potential sponsor’s home only to discover that the alleged “mother” was “adorned in MS-13 tattoos.” ORR apparently placed the child in that home anyway. Three months later, the child had died. The Biden administration not only missed phone calls from kids complaining about everything from stale bread to midnight sexual harassment, but its welfare checks were minimal at best. The government would allegedly call the sponsor’s home twice and, if nobody answered, would stop following up entirely. By the time the current administration stepped in, the government had reportedly lost an estimated 300,000 kids. That brings us, of course, to the Trump administration, which has been trying to unravel the mess as best it can. During a Fox News segment on Friday, John Fabbricatore, a current HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement senior advisor, said that the team has found children who’ve been found in unimaginable situations. “We’re talking about debt bondage, where children are being made to work off debt — trafficking debt. We’re talking about children that were brought into situations and then treated like sexual slaves.” To date, the administration has managed to track down just over 22,600 of these lost children and has arrested more than 400 of their sponsors. By the time it managed to intervene, 27 of those kids had died. As more details emerge, it’s becoming clear that this may very well be the biggest scandal of the whole Biden administration. At this point, anyone who complains that Joe Biden lacked the mental capacity to run the country and that the media and his aides covered it up sounds like a broken record; we’ve known for quite some time that the Biden family dabbled in a fair amount of influence peddling with foreign nations; and yes, Biden does seem to have preferred an autopen to the physical thing. These are the kinds of scandals we expect from corrupt politicians, drunk on wealth and power, and from those who surround them. (READ MORE: Forget the Autopen. The Question Is Forgery.) Aiding cartels in trafficking potentially hundreds of thousands of children as they poured across the border is something entirely different. We’re talking about levels of apathy and incompetence that blow the mind and raise questions about how much of it might have been intentional. The most important thing, of course, is the work that Trump’s team is doing in a war room in D.C. to uncover the whereabouts of these lost children. Rescuing them is the most important thing. Then, it’s time to track down those responsible — either intentionally or through negligence — and hold them accountable.

In the wake of the horrific assassination of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, one might have expected America’s legacy media and left-leaning outlets to rally around basic human decency. After all, this was a brutal act of political violence against a prominent voice for freedom, family values, and American exceptionalism. President Trump himself called it a “national tragedy,” and even some on the left issued tepid condemnations. But oh, how quickly that facade crumbled! What we witnessed instead was a demonstration of insensitivity, subtle approvals, outright laughter, and conspiracy-mongering that exposed the deep rot on the Left. From MSNBC’s victim-blaming rants to laughter, the response was nothing short of shameful — a stark reminder of why trust in mainstream media has plummeted to historic lows. As the manhunt for the killer unfolds, let’s dismantle this hoax of “balanced” coverage with the cold, hard facts of their most egregious moments. MSNBC Blames the Victim for His Own Murder Right out of the gate, MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd couldn’t resist twisting the knife. During breaking news coverage, he smugly declared that Kirk’s “hateful words” had inevitably led to “hateful actions,” implying the conservative activist had it coming for daring to speak out against the radical left’s agenda. This wasn’t analysis; it was outright victim-blaming, the kind of rhetoric that paints patriots as provocateurs deserving of violence. How low can they go? Dowd’s comments weren’t just insensitive — they were a green light for more political terror, all while the network pretended to mourn. If Dowd was the instigator, MSNBC’s Katy Tur was the enabler. She not only allowed but engaged with the notion that Kirk “had it coming” due to his “hateful words,” framing the assassination as some karmic consequence of his bold conservatism. In a moment that should have been about unity, Tur turned it into a partisan hit job, nodding along as if political murder was just another debate point. This isn’t reporting; it’s advocacy for violence against anyone who challenges the woke establishment. Americans deserve better than this bile from so-called public servants in the media. MSNBC didn’t stop at individual comments; their entire midafternoon block was slammed for portraying Kirk as a “divisive” figure whose death was somehow less tragic than it should be. Anchors hammered home his “provocative” history — code for “he dared to fight back against Democrat extremism” — over any genuine sympathy. This wasn’t subtle; it was a disgusting undercurrent of approval, suggesting that eliminating such a thorn in their side was almost a public service. In the face of a national tragedy, MSNBC chose schadenfreude over sorrow, proving once again why they’re the fake news poster child. CNN’s Talking Heads Claim Kirk “Incited” His Own Shooter Over at CNN, the echo chamber was in full swing. Commentators breathlessly suggested that Kirk’s “provocative speeches” had “incited” the violence against him, echoing MSNBC’s victim-blaming with a veneer of sophistication. Why focus on the deranged assassin when you can pivot to how Kirk’s defense of the Second Amendment or criticism of open borders supposedly “escalated tensions”? This conspiracy of the mind shifts blame from the perpetrator to the patriot, all while ignoring the left’s history of inflammatory rhetoric. CNN’s coverage wasn’t neutral — it was a disgraceful justification for silencing conservative voices, one bullet at a time. BBC Reporter’s On-Air Laughter Across the pond, the BBC — supposedly the gold standard of impartiality — delivered a jaw-dropping low. A guest was caught laughing on live TV while discussing the chaotic scene of Kirk’s death, her tone dripping with mockery as if the whole thing was some ironic punchline. This wasn’t a slip; it was gleeful indifference to a man’s life snuffed out for his beliefs. The clip went viral, rightfully so, exposing how even international outlets view conservative assassinations as entertainment. What kind of “news” organization finds humor in political murder? The BBC’s response? Crickets, of course. Jezebel’s Pre-Assassination “Curse” Article as Indirect Endorsement In a chilling prelude, left-leaning outlet Jezebel (the remnants of Gawker’s toxic legacy) published a piece just two days before the shooting about paying Etsy witches to “curse” Kirk. Post-assassination, they slapped on an edited condemnation note, but the damage was done — it was a blatant endorsement of violent fantasies against a conservative leader. This wasn’t satire; it was incitement, wrapped in feminist faux-empowerment. How many more “curses” from these outlets will it take before we recognize them as accessories to the radical left’s war on dissent? These instances aren’t isolated slips; they’re a pattern of media malfeasance that reveals the Democratic outlets’ true allegiance — not to truth or unity, but to the suppression of anyone who dares challenge their power. While President Trump and true conservatives mourned Kirk as a hero, the legacy media laughed, blamed, and conspired their way through the coverage, costing America not just in trust but in the soul of our discourse. It’s time for real accountability: defund these biased behemoths, support independent voices, and ensure that no more patriots pay the ultimate price for speaking out. The 2024 election showed us the way — let’s not forget the lessons amid this tragedy.
