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 He points out that these taxpayer subsidies are outdated.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 Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence.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.

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.

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.

President Trump marked his 100th day in office as DOGE boasted $160 billion cut from waste, fraud, and abuse. And they also came across a curious contract. You see, the Taliban had a contract with the Institute of Peace. Who are they? Per Wikipedia: The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) is an American independent, nonprofit, national institute funded by the U.S. Congress. Elon Musk told Jesse Watters during an exclusive interview that this is merely the opening act in a “long-term enterprise.” Which is a relief. Imagine how much waste will be prevented. This can’t be a one time deal. He warned that if we ever look away, the fraud will sneak back in. Fox News reports: As President Donald Trump marked his 100th day in office on Tuesday, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said it has cut at least $160 billion in waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government. While the department has made several high-profile cuts during the Trump administration’s first 100 days, DOGE head Elon Musk shared that Trump’s cost-cutting is just getting started. “It’s a long-term enterprise,” Musk said during an exclusive interview Thursday on “Jesse Watters Primetime.” “Because if we take our eye off the ball, the waste and fraud will come roaring back.” Watters joined Musk and several team members at the DOGE headquarters, including “Big Balls,” who revealed the story behind his nickname and detailed his work rooting out fraud and waste. The DOGE minds elaborated on more shocking discoveries from the department’s first months during their “Jesse Watters Primetime” exclusive. With no plans of slowing down, DOGE has made a number of consequential and controversial cuts in recent months. One of the most talked-about DOGE targets in Trump’s first term was spending at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Fox News Digital previously reported that nearly 15,000 grants worth $60 billion are set to be eliminated, according to internal documents. The grants amount to about 90% of foreign aid contracts and come after a review on spending by the State Department. Wonder what the Institute of Peace will say about their Taliban deal?

A big part of President Donald Trump’s disruptive trade agenda involves returning manufacturing jobs to the U.S. He has acknowledged the potential short-term strain that tariffs and other measures might have on the economy, but insists the payoffs will be worth it in the end. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller recently responded to a question on the topic, which specifically referenced Trump’s prior remarks about dolls. As The Hill reported: During a Thursday press briefing, NBC News’s Peter Alexander referenced Trump’s comments from the previous day. “He was making the point that I think almost every American consumer agrees with, what — if they had a choice between … a doll from China that might have, say, lead paint in it, that is not as well constructed as a doll made in America, that has a higher environmental and regulatory standard, and that is made to a higher degree of quality, and those two products are both on Amazon, that yes, you’d probably be willing to pay more for a better-made American product,” Miller said in response to Alexander.

Trump, speaking to reporters Wednesday, acknowledged that “Somebody said, ‘oh, the shelves are gonna be open.’” He continued, “Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent echoed that sentiment in March, saying that “access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American dream.” Factories in China produce nearly 80% of all toys sold in the U.S., per the New York Times.

A big, beautiful military parade is reportedly being set up for June 14th — President Trump’s 79th birthday, which coincides with the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday. According to reports, the Army’s parade plans include over 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands, and a couple thousand civilians. What a way to honor our military! And, the fact that it aligns with President Trump’s first birthday back in the White House is just icing on the cake.

The planning documents, obtained by the AP, are dated April 29 and 30 and have not been publicly released. They represent the Army’s most recent blueprint for its long-planned 250th anniversary festival on the National Mall and the newly added element — a large military parade that Trump has long wanted but is still being discussed. The Army anniversary just happens to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday on June 14. While the slides do not include any price estimates, it would likely cost tens of millions of dollars to put on a parade of that size. Costs would include the movement of military vehicles, equipment, aircraft and troops from across the country to Washington and the need to feed and house thousands of service members. Newsweek added: The U.S. Army is drafting detailed plans for a large-scale military parade on June 14, 2025, which would coincide with both the Army’s 250th birthday and President Donald Trump‘s 79th. Context Trump has long pushed for a grand military parade since witnessing France’s Bastille Day parade in 2017. A similar plan during his first term was canceled due to an estimated $92 million price tag and objections from Washington, D.C., officials over the damage tanks and armored vehicles could cause to roads. What to Know According to planning documents obtained by the Associated Press, the proposed event would include more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 military vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and potentially thousands of civilians. Though no final decision has been made, the parade would mark a significant expansion of the Army’s already scheduled birthday festival on the National Mall, raising concerns about costs and logistics. The documents, dated April 29 and 30, represent the Army’s most current plans, which include assembling troops and equipment from 11 corps and divisions across the country. Units listed range from tank and infantry battalions to artillery and Stryker units. The parade would also feature a parachute jump by the Army’s Golden Knights, historical reenactors and veterans’ groups. The parade is expected to follow a route from Arlington, Virginia, across the Potomac into Washington, D.C., and conclude with a concert and fireworks. Among the challenges the Army has identified are housing for incoming troops and significant security requirements for the transport and display of equipment. What do you think?

CNN’s lone voice of reason Scott Jennings is reportedly considering running for the Senate in his home state of Kentucky. If he won, he would replace Mitch McConnell’s seat. During an after party following the White House Correspondent’s dinner on Saturday, Jennings was asked about a potential Senate run. His response? “If the president wants me, I’ll run,” he stated.

The New York Post reported: Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings is mulling a run to replace retiring Kentucky GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell — but is waiting to see if President Trump will give him the green light. “If the president wants me, I’ll run,” the veteran political strategist spilled at an afterparty following Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, according to the Daily Beast. “If he wants somebody else, I’ll support that candidate,” added Jennings, a onetime adviser to McConnell, who will retire next year after being the longest-serving Senate leader of either party in the upper chamber’s history. A well-connected GOP operative told The Post that Jennings’ interest in running for Senate was “certainly not fake.” The Daily Beast added: Scott Jennings is cable TV’s ubiquitous MAGA Man of the Moment. He has a primo messaging platform on CNN, where he regularly clashes with anchors like Abby Phillip and berates liberal guests like Tiffany Cross and Neera Tanden and… well, it’s a long list. (In spite of hemorrhaging revenue and viewers, the network recently rewarded the veteran GOP political strategist with a pay raise for his conservative punditry.) But if CNN viewers think they’re getting independent analysis from Jennings, they may be sorely disappointed. He’s been touted as a potential 2026 Senate GOP contender. And when asked about it over the weekend during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner festivities, he made it clear: He won’t do anything without a green light from the Dear Leader. You can see it on his face and hear it in his voice. The network’s token conservative commentator would love to be the next senator from his home state of Kentucky. But when might he get around to announcing whether he’s waging a 2026 campaign? “If the president wants me, I’ll run,” Jennings told a Swamp tipster at a bougie espresso martini-swilling party at the Swiss ambassador’s residence following the White House Correspondents’ bash on Saturday. “If he wants somebody else, I’ll support that candidate,” said Jennings in his mellifluous, Southern drawl, playing the role of Kentucky statesman in his three-piece tuxedo.
