On CNN‚ a “reporter” interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris gushes‚ “I’m struck‚ just in your presence! Looking you in the eye‚ with your passion ... ” Really? Even Harris looked embarrassed. My new video shows how the mainstream media treat conservatives and libertarians differently.     We shouldn’t be surprised. Reporters overwhelmingly lean Democrat. A survey by The American Journalist found that for every Republican in a newsroom‚ there are 10 Democrats. The reporters claim to be objective. They aren’t. News networks always covered Iowa Caucus victory speeches. Not this year -- After Donald Trump won. CNN cut away from his speech‚ and MSNBC didn’t carry it at all. Recently‚ NPR hired a new CEO. They chose Katherine Maher‚ who once tweeted that “Trump is a racist.” During BLM looting‚ she tweeted‚ “It’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression.” Now she’s the boss of government-funded radio? Sadly‚ yes. Recently‚ the media got very upset about rule of law. Outraged anchors said‚ “Texas refuses to give in to federal law.” This was because Texas politicians won’t remove a fence that the feds told them to remove. An outraged NBC asked‚ “Why isn’t the Biden administration suing Texas?” That’s actually a reasonable question. Rule of law deserves discussion. But when it comes to sanctuary cities‚ the media show no such outrage. These places merely “choose not to follow federal immigrations laws‚” says an ABC anchor. They don’t “refuse‚” like Texas does. Finally‚ it’s absurd how the media label politicians. Argentina’s new president‚ Javier Milei‚ is a libertarian. He wants to shrink his country’s corrupt bureaucracy. So‚ the media call him a “far-right radical.” But we libertarians aren’t “far-right‚” or even “right.” Most of us want to end wars. We support free trade‚ gay marriage‚ drug decriminalization and other things far from “far-right.” Milei wants to increase the supply of donated organs by legalizing their sale. That’s not “far-right.” The American Economic Association found 43% of conservatives oppose organ sales. But the media smear Milei as “far” or “hard” or “extreme right.” Maybe it’s because he wants to cut the size of the government. The clueless media like big government. They exaggerate any proposed cuts. “Republicans Set on Hurting Their Own Constituents With Draconian Budget Cuts” is an actual Forbes headline. (The magazine went downhill after Steve Forbes stopped running things.) What were the “draconian” cuts? Instead of increasing spending by 7.8% last spring‚ politicians “cut” the increase to 3.9%. How is that a “draconian” cut? Sometimes the media label anyone who doesn’t agree with them “right-wing.” Or “Donald Trump like.” Stephen Colbert calls Milei the “Donald Trump of Argentina.” Yes‚ Milei has big hair‚ and he’s good on TV. He’s not a traditional politician. But that doesn’t make him a “Donald Trump of Argentina.” Milei is for free trade. He opposes protectionist interventions like tariffs. Unlike Trump‚ he’s an economist who’s smart about economics. He’s serious about shrinking the state. Trump‚ by contrast‚ grew our national debt by $7.8 trillion. I’ve worked as a reporter for 50 years -- for NBC‚ then CBS‚ then ABC‚ then FOX. But now I’ve come to hate most of the media. They scare people to death about minor threats‚ and spin left while pretending to be neutral. They routinely smear libertarians. The Guardian headlines‚ “Libertarian ideology is the natural enemy of science.” But there is some good news. More people now ignore leftist media. CNN’s prime-time viewership recently fell behind the History Channel’s‚ and even behind an obscure channel that just plays old Western movies. Today‚ more people get their news from independent journalists who publish in places like Substack and YouTube. Like Stossel TV. That’s a good trend‚ because we’re more thoughtful than the biased people on TV.

Groups are generally more easily spotted and tracked than individuals‚ but they can mount a watch‚ put together more formidable ambushes‚ and may be able to make use of small unit tactics depending on training‚ group makeup‚ equipment‚ and so forth.

As a group‚ conservatives tend to disagree on nearly every issue. One issue that conservatives do agree on is that the GOP stinks. For decades now‚ Republican politicians have proven themselves to be incompetent‚ ignorant‚ and impotent. Although they pledge to restore law and order‚ encourage prosperity‚ safeguard freedoms‚ and have a strong military presence and a secure border‚ they routinely cave or compromise on all these issues. This has become ever more apparent in the past year‚ as the country is beset by several crises and the majority of Americans are pessimistic about the future. We can change the dynamic this year by finally voting these fools out. When illegal immigrants cross the southern U.S. border in record numbers‚ Republican leadership responds by pushing for more funding and less accountability and bungling the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. When federal agencies like the FBI harass conservatives and concoct elaborate hoaxes (e.g.‚ the January 6 pipe bomber‚ the kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer‚ Russian collusion) for political purposes‚ Republicans reward them by voting for more funding and hosting useless hearings. When omnibus spending bills result in massive increases in federal debt as well as inflation‚ Republicans refrain from breaking up these fiscal monstrosities into single-issue spending bills and instead pass continuing resolutions that maintain omnibus spending levels anyway. In my home state of Texas‚ a large number of Republican legislators have betrayed their constituents in two major ways: impeaching Ken Paxton‚ one of the most effective attorneys general in the country‚ and voting against school choice. Fortunately‚ the Texas legislature meets every other year‚ which limits how much damage lawmakers can do. Could be worse? Of course‚ the rejoinder to all this is that they “aren’t as bad as the Democrats.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) may be a kindly Christian jellyfish‚ but at least he isn’t Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) may suffer periodic brain freezes and place the security of Ukraine’s borders over our own‚ but he isn’t Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). The whole host of Republican state congressmen may usher in chaos and poverty‚ but they aren’t the crazy Marxists who want federal funding for drag queen story hour and critical race theory. Those are fair points. But we’re setting the bar remarkably low. And so‚ the Republican Party manages to win re-elections despite everything‚ only to occasionally shout “Slow down!” at nihilistic Democrats intent on bankrupting and dissolving the country into nothing. It’s also worth mentioning that something like this happens for old-school Democrats who don’t like voting for leftists but who do so anyway because the alternative is supposedly a “right-wing bigot.” Perhaps we can change the dynamic this year by finally voting these fools out. In the coming months‚ each state will have its own primary election where conservative voters can actually pick alternatives to today’s sorry slate of Republicans. Instead of lamenting how bad the GOP has become‚ how the country is being invaded‚ how the American dream is no longer possible‚ or how brain-dead geriatrics run the country‚ people can vote for better and possibly younger candidates. Imagine that! 'Moderation' vs. 'extremism' Naturally‚ a few objections are bound to come up. The first and main objection is that voters are clueless about the candidates and should just vote for the person with the most name recognition and the most visible campaign. In the internet age‚ this is no longer true. Voters can and should look up who’s running for what and be informed. The establishment’s preferred candidates are often the very ones who will sell out their constituents. The ruling elites in both parties depend on voters being in the dark — this is why they regularly oppose free speech and alternative media platforms. A second objection is that voters need to be told how to vote by party leadership and corporate media or else they might vote for someone who’s “unqualified.” Rather than electing rich political insiders who all earned law degrees from the same schools‚ they might vote for normal people who reflect their values and way of life. It would be chaos. Or it might just be the most democratic‚ most productive‚ and least corrupt government that one could hope for. A third objection is that voters should pick the moderate‚ more established nominee in the primary so he or she can win in the general election. If nothing else‚ Trump’s election in 2016 debunked this myth. As I’ve argued recently‚ voters care most about what a candidate offers‚ not his supposed extremism or lack thereof. This is why Trump and the MAGA movement have been so successful. They promise to do actual things that voters want while their more established Republican opponents only promise that they aren’t Democrats. Conservatives who deride party politics and ignore the horse races have only themselves to blame when their only choices are more of the same. Moreover‚ it’s entirely relative what constitutes “moderate” or “extreme.” In terms of policy‚ Trump was moderate to a fault. He played by the rules‚ respected the Constitution‚ and was reluctant to intervene in either foreign or domestic disputes. By contrast‚ Joe Biden is quite extreme. He breaks the rules constantly‚ ignores the Constitution frequently‚ and intervenes wherever he can. Nevertheless‚ corporate media outlets label Biden a “moderate” and Trump an “extremist” because they have a narrative to push. At this point‚ voters should reject this framing and think for themselves. Overall‚ any objection to voting out establishment Republicans (or establishment Democrats) in this year’s primaries is self-serving. The only ones making these arguments are the ones who directly benefit from status quo. Everyone else can see that shake-up is necessary at every level. Otherwise‚ conservatives who deride party politics and ignore the horse races have only themselves to blame when their choices in November are more of the same.

Brockton High School in Brockton‚ Massachusetts‚ is the largest public school in the state‚ boasting a total of over 3‚500 students. However‚ it also boasts an apparent problem with student violence that has become so severe that four members of the Brockton School Committee sent a letter to their mayor asking for the National Guard to be called in to restore order at the school. The letter was sent last Thursday to Mayor Robert F. Sullivan. The letter claims that "our high school has experienced a disturbing increase in incidents related to violence‚ security concerns‚ and substance abuse" in recent months and blames‚ in part‚ a lack of adequate staffing. In a public school meeting last month‚ many teachers from Brockton High reportedly broke down in tears about the level of school violence. A number of stabbing incidents have also taken place recently at the school. The letter claims that staffing shortages have led to numerous incidents in which trespassers were found wandering on school grounds without authorization‚ leading to concerns about the security of the facility in addition to the issues with violence. For his part‚ Mayor Sullivan promised to forward the request on to Massashusetts Governor Maura Healey (D) but noted that he does not agree with calling up the National Guard at the school. Healey responded to the letter in a statement last Friday‚ saying‚ "Our administration is committed to ensuring that schools are safe and supportive environments. ... We are aware of concerns raised about Brockton High School and are in touch with local officials."The Massachusetts National Guard was activated in 2021 by then-governor Charlie Baker (R) in order to address bus driver shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Massachusetts has seen an increase in overall school violence lately‚ with a number of incidents that have gone viral on social media‚ including a lunchtime altercation at Haverhill High School in early February that attracted significant attention.
