Good riddance! President Trump issued an executive order to end federal funding for NPR and PBS. He points out that these taxpayer subsidies are outdated. And let’s be honest, biased against Republicans and Trump. And so, citing Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) impartiality rules, he accused NPR and PBS of biased coverage. They’re a public-service but alas, that doesn’t stop them from bashing the Right. Well, the gravy train is over for them. He instructed all agencies to cease funding these broadcasters immediately. So sad, too bad. And it’s about time! #BREAKING: President Trump has just signed an executive order ELIMINATING the taxpayer subsidization of NPR and PBS US taxpayers will NO LONGER be funding anti-American propaganda! FINALLY! pic.twitter.com/cAXUMgblfc — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) May 2, 2025 The White House published: ENDING TAXPAYER SUBSIDIZATION OF BIASED MEDIA Executive Orders May 1, 2025 By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose. National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) receive taxpayer funds through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Unlike in 1967, when the CPB was established, today the media landscape is filled with abundant, diverse, and innovative news options. Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence. At the very least, Americans have the right to expect that if their tax dollars fund public broadcasting at all, they fund only fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan news coverage. No media outlet has a constitutional right to taxpayer subsidies, and the Government is entitled to determine which categories of activities to subsidize. The CPB’s governing statute reflects principles of impartiality: the CPB may not “contribute to or otherwise support any political party.” 47 U.S.C. 396(f)(3); see also id. 396(e)(2). The CPB fails to abide by these principles to the extent it subsidizes NPR and PBS. Which viewpoints NPR and PBS promote does not matter. What does matter is that neither entity presents a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens. I therefore instruct the CPB Board of Directors (CPB Board) and all executive departments and agencies (agencies) to cease Federal funding for NPR and PBS. Sec. 2. Instructions to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. (a) The CPB Board shall cease direct funding to NPR and PBS, consistent with my Administration’s policy to ensure that Federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage. The CPB Board shall cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding. (b) The CPB Board shall cease indirect funding to NPR and PBS, including by ensuring that licensees and permittees of public radio and television stations, as well as any other recipients of CPB funds, do not use Federal funds for NPR and PBS. To effectuate this directive, the CPB Board shall, before June 30, 2025, revise the 2025 Television Community Service Grants General Provisions and Eligibility Criteria and the 2025 Radio Community Service Grants General Provisions and Eligibility Criteria to prohibit direct or indirect funding of NPR and PBS. To the extent permitted by the 2024 Television Community Service Grants General Provisions and Eligibility Criteria, the 2024 Radio Community Service Grants General Provisions and Eligibility Criteria, and applicable law, the CPB Board shall also prohibit parties subject to these provisions from funding NPR or PBS after the date of this order. In addition, the CPB Board shall take all other necessary steps to minimize or eliminate its indirect funding of NPR and PBS. Sec. 3. Instructions to Other Agencies. (a) The heads of all agencies shall identify and terminate, to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, any direct or indirect funding of NPR and PBS. (b) After taking the actions specified in subsection (a) of this section, the heads of all agencies shall identify any remaining grants, contracts, or other funding instruments entered into with NPR or PBS and shall determine whether NPR and PBS are in compliance with the terms of those instruments. In the event of a finding of noncompliance, the head of the relevant agency shall take appropriate steps under the terms of the instrument. (c) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall determine whether “the Public Broadcasting Service and National Public Radio (or any successor organization)” are complying with the statutory mandate that “no person shall be subjected to discrimination in employment . . . on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex.” 47 U.S.C. 397(15), 398(b). In the event of a finding of noncompliance, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall take appropriate corrective action. Sec. 4. Severability. If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any agency, person, or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its provisions to any other agencies, persons, or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations. (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person. DONALD J. TRUMP THE WHITE HOUSE, May 1, 2025. Oh, and here’s a fun fact. The CEO of NPR is also the Chair of the Board of that app you might have heard of, Signal.

Maher in 2021 as CEO of Wikimedia telling people that the truth or seeking the truth just gets in the way of getting important things done….

It’s painful to hear her regurgitate all the anti-White talking points but here you go. I’m glad her funding just got cut off! 2021. Current NPR CEO Katherine Maher, back when she ran Wikimedia, talking about the need to rewrite history because it favors white people. Now she comes before Congress and pretends to not hold these views anymore so she can get more funding.pic.twitter.com/jZSPhqSg4r — MAZE (@mazemoore) March 28, 2025 Radical leftist @NPR CEO Katherine Maher claims she never read “The Case for Reparations” Yet publicly tweeted about reading it.

Notorious Trump-hating actor Robert De Niro’s son now says he identifies as a “transgender black woman.” The son of De Niro and actress Tookie Smith, 29-year-old Aaron has changed his name to ‘Airyn.’ Though he has been dressing like a woman since he was in middle school, Aaron started taking hormones last November. Now, he says he has decided to publicly “embrace black femininity.” Robert De Niro’s mixed-race son, Aaron, came out as trans and changed his name to Airyn.

Robert De Niro’s 29-year-old son Airyn De Niro, proof that mental illness is genetic pic.twitter.com/EHqDnhnlbZ — Steve Calvert ✟ (@JobberSteve65) April 30, 2025 Deranged “queer” left-wing media outlet Them said: Airyn, born to Robert De Niro and actress Toukie Smith in 1995, grew up largely out of the spotlight, so she was surprised by the sudden media attention. “Obviously no parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight. They wanted it very private,” she says. “They have told me they wanted me to have as much of a normal childhood as possible.” Airyn is grappling with what being more public might mean at a time of executive orders that ban any expression of “gender ideology,” widespread attacks on trans rights across the U.S., and the terrifying political inroads being made by trans-exclusionary radical feminists, or TERFs, in the U.K. and beyond. The target on the backs of Black trans women demands a different sort of visibility — one that holds up trans folks not as statistics or one-dimensional icons, but as our ancestors, lovers, and cherished friends who are doing all they can to heal and free themselves. “There’s a difference between being visible and being seen,” Airyn says. “I’ve been visible. I don’t think I’ve been seen yet.”… While Airyn has been femme-presenting since middle school, her decision to begin hormone therapy last November was borne out of a desire to maintain that femininity as she got older (“Who wants to be an old man?” she asks.) After seeing successful trans women open up about their transitions, Airyn dared to imagine a similar future for herself despite feeling like a self-proclaimed “late bloomer.” “Trans women being honest and open, especially [in] public spaces like social media and getting to see them in their success… I’m like, you know what? Maybe it’s not too late for me,” she says of her internal process. “Maybe I can start.” “Trans women being honest and open, especially [in] public spaces like social media and getting to see them in their success… I’m like, you know what? Maybe it’s not too late for me,” she says of her internal process. “Maybe I can start.” Embracing Black femininity in particular allows her to escape the limiting walls of desirability politics. “I think a big part of [my transition] is also the influence Black women have had on me,” she says. “I think stepping into this new identity, while also being more proud of my Blackness, makes me feel closer to them in some way.” Robert De Niro says he supports his son’s mental illness: Robert De Niro says he has nothing but “love and support” for his daughter Airyn De Niro after she recently came out as transgender: “I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter.

I don’t know what the big deal is,” Robert De Niro told Variety in a statement. “I love all my children.” In a recent sit-down with Them, Airyn De Niro discussed “stepping into this new identity,” as well as growing up as one of seven children in the De Niro household. Why do so many Hollywood actors’ children end up this way? It’s sad, to be perfectly honest. So many children have fallen victim to the woke, liberal agenda thrust upon them by their parents in Hollyweird.

It was nearly 7 months ago. Hurricane Helene unnaturally worked its way all the way up to North Carolina and devastated numerous towns. One of them being Marshall, NC.

They are officially back in business. Seven months after Helene devastated our town, we can officially say we’re back! Marshall is officially open!

It’s called Marshall Magic Days. There will be music, shops, and a market on Saturday. Marshall is one of two towns in the mountains welcoming visitors back this weekend. The other is Hot Springs. Both towns were left under water when Hurricane Helene brought unprecedented flooding. But now they are welcoming visitors back. Chris Worley is the manager at Shady Side Florist in Marshall. He says everyone can find comfort in a flower. “We consider ourselves a service, you know, funerals, weddings, the good times, the bad times,” Worley said. They are there for customers during sadness and joy. Worley says the flower shop has been open for more than 30 years. “Some of these are third-generation customers,” Worley said. “They’re customers, but they also become family to you.” Many people in this close-knit community leaned on each other when the unthinkable tore apart their precious town. “Friday, Sept. 27, I was here at the Old Marshall Jail Hotel,” business owner Josh Copus said. “We were preparing for the flood, we thought it would be up to our knees.” The flood surpassed everyone’s expectations. Copus watched as his restaurant, Zadie’s, was destroyed by 11 feet of water. “My friend, Joel, I watched as his whole coffee shop floated down the street,” Copus said. “That was a really tough day.” After the waters receded, businesses were still left covered in several feet of mud. #BREAKING: Nearly EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS in Marshall NC is planning to officially reopen THIS WEEKEND, nearly 7 months after Hurricane Helene flooded the entire town.

President Trump said he wasn’t happy with Boeing’s Air Force One progress. Now his team’s revamping a former Qatari government 747 instead. It’s up to L3Harris to turn it into a presidential ride. This is probably all for the best. I mean, Boeing isn’t exactly great at working on their own planes. Best to outsource. Frustrated by Boeing’s massive delays in delivering a new Air Force One, President Trump has commissioned a smaller defense contractor to ready an interim presidential plane by year’s end https://t.co/PNb0iRXcLT — The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) May 2, 2025 Independent reports: Tired of waiting for Boeing to make a new Air Force One, President Donald Trump’s administration is now revamping a plane once used by the Qatari government, according to a report. “I’m not happy with Boeing,” the president said in February, referring to the Air Force One program. “We may buy a plane or get a plane, or something.” Now, his administration seems to be doing just that. The federal government is hiring defense contractor L3Harris to refurbish a Boeing 747 previously used by the Qatari government, the Wall Street Journal reported. The Independent has reached out to Boeing, L3Harris and the White House for comment. The president hopes to use the refurbished plane by the fall, sources told the outlet, and is regularly checking on its progress . This aircraft will be an interim solution until the Boeing jets are delivered. The current presidential jets — which have been in service since the George H.W. Bush administration — are nearing their end of life. ​​During his first term, Trump commissioned Boeing to manufacture two replacement jets to tune of $3.9 billion. Nearly seven years after Boeing won the contract, the planes are behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget after supplier, manufacturing and engineering setbacks. That means, unless Trump finds a way to circumvent the 22nd Amendment as he’s mused, he would be out of office before being able to use them.
