The Left Lies So Brazenly Because They Can Get Away With It

A tense exchange between press secretary Karoline Leavitt and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins unfolded at a recent White House press briefing — and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales couldn’t be more impressed with the way Leavitt handled it.“You have CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who started out at the Daily Caller, was hired by Tucker Carlson. She was writing for conservative media, and somewhere along the way, her brain melted,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains.“So clearly, it is her life’s mission now to just make Donald Trump look bad,” she says.“Is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members?” Collins asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at a recent press conference.“No,” Leavitt answered. “It’s the position of this administration that the press in this room and the press across the country should accurately report on the success of Operation Epic Fury.”“So we can all be very grateful that we have an administration and that we have men and women in our armed forces who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for the rest of us in this room and for every American across the country and for every troop that is based in the Middle East,” she added.Collins then interjected that Pete Hegseth “was complaining that it was front-page news about these six service members who were killed.”“That’s not what the secretary said, Kaitlin, and that’s not what the secretary meant. And you know it — you know you’re being disingenuous. We’ve never had a secretary of defense who cares more,” Leavitt responded.Collins again interjected, reading Hegseth’s comment, which included that "the press only wants to make the president look bad.”“The press does only want to make the president look bad. That’s a fact,” Leavitt said.“We expect you to cover that as you should, Kaitlan. But you and your network know that you take every single thing this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad,” she added.Collins continued to argue, but she was no match for Leavitt, who pointed out that “CNN’s overwhelming coverage” of President Donald Trump is “negative” and that the American people would agree with that.“There’s no disputing that,” Gonzales comments. “The American people don’t want to hear from CNN, because we all know this is, of course, the agenda. This is the playbook. It’s the only playbook that they have.”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

These amazing Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops come out fork tender tender and only require a small handful of ingredients. A little sweet and a little savory! A Unique Slow Cooker Pork Chop Recipe These Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops are made with BBQ sauce, apricot preserves, onion soup mix, bone-in pork chops, garlic powder. I know the apricot preserves sounds like a wild ingredient but I just need you to trust that they add just a little sweetness while also creating a gorgeous glaze for the chops. The sauce for the Crock Pot Party Meatballs was my inspiration for these chops and it turned out perfect! Frequently Asked Questions: Is it better to use bone-in or boneless pork chops? I am using bone-in pork chops for this recipe for a couple of reasons. First of all, bone-in chops tend to be a little cheaper than their boneless counterparts. Plus, more times than not, I can get the bone-in pork chops on sale. Secondly, the bone-in pork chops are less likely to dry out and get tough. But boneless definitely works here. What to serve with Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops? Serve with a side salad and maybe some steamed and roasted veggies. Or maybe try whipping up some Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Garlic Parmesan Potatoes. If you want a different carb, some Butter Swim Biscuits, Dinner Rolls, or Garlic Bread are always great options. What else can I add? You can add some quartered potatoes or sweet potatoes on top of the onions if you want to make this dinner go a little further. How to store leftover Pork Chops? Allow the pork chops and sauce to cool slightly, then transfer everything to an airtight container. Be sure to spoon plenty of the BBQ sauce over the chops before storing to keep the meat moist. Store them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. These freeze well for up to 2 months in a freezer safe bag or container. Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe) BBQ sauce– use whatever brand you prefer. I tend to go with something like Sweet Baby Rays since that seems to be a barbecue sauce that most people enjoy. Or you could make some Homemade BBQ Sauce. apricot preserves– this sounds like a wild ingredient, I know, but you don’t taste the apricot preserves as a separate ingredient. It gives these a little additional sweetness and acts like a glaze as well. you could use grape jelly if you need an alternative. A reader also shared she used blackberry preserves instead of apricot as well. onion soup mix-if you don’t want to use store-bought, try making your own Homemade Onion Soup Mix to use and you can control the ingredients that go into it. bone-in pork chops– I talked about using boneless vs bone-in chops above in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) section. Additionally, I’ve had a reader share that she was able to make this with a pork loin instead. You could even use chicken breasts instead of pork chops. garlic powder How To Make Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops: In the bottom of a 5-quart (or larger) oval slow cooker, pour in barbecue sauce, apricot preserves and onion soup mix.

Notes Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions. I didn’t season the pork chops with salt as there is already salt in the onion soup mix and bbq sauce. You can certainly season the pork chops however you like.  This sauce makes enough for up to 6 pork chops if you need to make more. Just make sure you have a larger slow cooker to accommodate 6 pork chops to cook evenly.  NutritionCalories: 298kcal | Carbohydrates: 35g | Protein: 35g | Fat: 15g | Sodium: 117mg
