If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Trump Media &; Technology Group Corp‚ the owner of the Truth Social platform‚ has filed a lawsuit against 20 major media companies‚ including The Guardian‚ The Hollywood Reporter‚ and The Miami Herald‚ among others. The lawsuit‚ filed in the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in Sarasota County‚ Florida‚ alleges a coordinated media attack involving false reporting of a $73 million loss by TMTG. We obtained a copy of the lawsuit for you here. TMTG accuses the defendants of fabricating a $73 million loss figure‚ citing a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing that does not contain such information. “This number was an utter fabrication‚” states the complaint‚ highlighting that each defendant reported the same false number‚ supposedly based on the SEC filing. The lawsuit suggests a deliberate attempt to harm TMTG and Truth Social’s reputation and financial standing‚ potentially impacting a significant merger between Digital World Acquisition Corporation (DWAC) and TMTG. “This was a coordinated effort to damage TMTG’s reputation‚ degrade the firm’s financial standing‚ freeze its access to capital‚ and torpedo the anticipated merger‚” the complaint reads. TMTG alleges that these actions have resulted in substantial harm‚ eroding confidence in the company and its management‚ and making it more difficult to raise additional capital. The media’s reporting is described as a “coordinated attack” on TMTG and its social media platform‚ Truth Social. The complaint also notes the steps taken by TMTG to rectify the situation‚ including contacting the media defendants to correct the false reporting. Despite some corrections and updates‚ TMTG asserts that no significant retractions or apologies have been made. The lawsuit seeks compensatory‚ special‚ and punitive damages‚ along with an injunction against further publication of the defamatory statements‚ totaling $1.5 billion. TMTG asserts that the defendants’ actions were knowingly‚ intentionally‚ willfully‚ wantonly‚ and maliciously executed.

'It's Not a Gang‚ It's Cultural Differences!': Sweden‚ Immigration‚ and Bombs in Bins

As I’ve stated many times‚ the Latinx Grievance Industrial Complex is up in arms over the perceived (and‚ perhaps‚ imagined) loss of air supremacy on one of its cornerstone institutions- Univision. Which is how we end up with Ana Navarro‚ on The View‚ DEMANDING to know how and why this is happening. After having to endure this segment‚ I’ve gained an even greater appreciation for our friend Nick Fondacaro‚ who watches this nonsense on a daily basis so you don’t have to. Anyway‚ heeeeeeere’s Ana:     WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Why is Univision going through this‚ and what is- what's happening here‚ Ana? I'm going to ask you.  SARA HAINES: What the hell is going on there?  NAVARRO: I’ve gotten so many calls in the last 10 days‚ saying: ¿Qué carajo está pasando en Univision? What the hell is happening in Univision? Because‚ look. Univision‚ as you said‚ is the giant in Spanish news and in Spanish news‚ there's a ton of misinformation in our community newspapers and our radio stations. This is the place where Latinos- Spanish-speaking Latinos go to get informed‚ to form educated opinions. To get engaged. To help get people out to vote- they’ve been really great corporate citizens and community citizens. They have a tremendous co-anchor named Jorge Ramos‚ who's been there for decades‚ and they’ve got great credibility. I've seen many a strongman‚ many a corrupt person‚ leader‚ squirm under the questioning of Jorge Ramos‚ but they didn't have Jorge Ramos do this interview. They had a guy named Enrique Acevedo who is supposedly a good journalist‚ I don’t know him‚ but he sat there like he was interviewing a panda. And‚ you know‚ somebody described the interview‚ a Politico writer as so soft it could have been pillow stuffing and all the things you've mentioned happened. And so it's led to all of this speculation‚ and then we learned that Jared Kushner is somehow involved‚ greasing the wheels with Televisa‚ the Mexican side that has bought part of it. This is what I would say to televisio- to Univision viewers. Use your voice. Use your remote controls. Use your purchasing power with advertisers. If you've got questions‚ let them know. If you are disappointed and troubled‚ let them know because Univision has held people accountable. It is time for us Latinos to hold Univision accountable. [ Applause ]  The section in bold very neatly explains why the left is in such a frenzy. Univision‚ a reliable Democrat talking point regurgitator for decades‚ is both a gatekeeper institution into the Latino community‚ as created and organized by the left‚ and an approved purveyor of information to the community. Thus‚ the Trump interview is seen as a major breach. Univision is perceived to have breached its fiduciary responsibility towards the rest of the Professional Political Latinx class‚ by having the temerity to allow Donald J. Trump to sit down with a journalist and answer questions in a normal‚ conversational tone. This is the basis upon which Navarro‚ John Leguizamo‚ the Congressional Hispanic Caucus‚ along with the rest of the Latinx Industrial Complex‚ have demanded that Univision reverse course and go back to being a reliable Democrat talking point machine- which it never stopped being in the first place. Had the shoe been on the other foot‚ these very groups would be denouncing these activities as a gross attack upon a free and independent press. I use such words as “imagined” and “perceived” because there is no actual editorial shift at Univision‚ and no substance to the conversation beyond what I described in the previous paragraph. And so it is that we have to endure five minutes of the Viewteratti’s discourse on Univision- which‚ honestly‚ felt like five hundred. Once you get past the screeching and the lamentations over Trump not being yelled at by Jorge Ramos‚ there’s nothing. Nothing‚ except for this throwaway bit of casual racism by Whoopi Goldberg. Or at minimum‚ an inappropriate cultural appropriation‚ wherein Goldberg announces a legal notice in a bad Tony Montana accent: It is unclear to me why Whoopi Goldberg decided to announce this legal notice RE: Univision with the affectation of an accent that leads one to believe she is about to direct Chi Chi to go get the yayo‚ but alas‚ she did. And‚ per the rules‚ that is a racism‚ @ABC @TheView. pic.twitter.com/TnyHBANZbh — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) November 20‚ 2023 What a hot mess. Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned segment as aired on ABC’s The View on Monday‚ November 20th‚ 2023: WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Welcome back. Univision‚ the largest spanish-speaking channel in America is under fire for what critics are calling beyond a softball interview with you-know-who‚ plus canceling a rebuttal from a Biden administration official and pulling Biden campaign ads before the interview. Now top Univision anchor Leon Krauze abruptly left after this‚ and Latino celebrities like John Leguizamo and you-know-who --  ANA NAVARRO: Don't call me you-know-who. Call me Ana.  GOLDBERGi: That's right.  NAVARRO: That's like being called Lord Voldemort.  GOLDBERG: -- and Ana are kind of saying‚ what the hell is going on over there? And some folks are calling for a boycott. Why is Univision going through this‚ and what is- what's happening here‚ Ana? I'm going to ask you. What the hell is going on there?  NAVARRO: I’ve gotten so many calls in the last 10 days‚ saying: ¿Qué carajo está pasando en Univision? What the hell is happening in Univision? Because‚ look. Univision‚ as you said‚ is the giant in Spanish news and in Spanish news‚ there's a ton of misinformation in our community newspapers and our radio stations. This is the place where Latinos- Spanish-speaking Latinos go to get informed‚ to form educated opinions. To get engaged.

And‚ you know‚ somebody described the interview‚ a Politico writer as so soft it could have been pillow stuffing and all the things you've mentioned happened.

If you are disappointed and troubled‚ let them know because Univision has held people accountable. It is time for us Latinos to hold Univision accountable. [ Applause ]  ALYSSA FARAH: And I think that this underscores -- I think this underscores how seven years into Trump‚ the media still grapples with how to cover him effectively‚ and I -- I think many can be guilty of it where we talk about a lot of things. Like this civil suit in New York‚ yes‚ it matters. That does not impact tens of millions of Americans. What doesn't and what I don’t think is getting enough attention is he's talking about rounding up undocumented migrants and putting them into essentially concentration camps. He's talking about agenda of retribution against former government officials like myself‚ like Mark Milley and others when he's back in office. He's talking about reinstating the Muslim Ban‚ which applies to my [unint]. (CROSSTALK)   GOLDBERG: So where was- where was- where was- where’s the anchor? Why wasn’t the anchor- NAVARRO: He's sitting there smiling at Mar-a-Lago like if he was interviewing Barney the dinosaur. ♪ I love you‚ you love me ♪ ♪ we're a happy family ♪  SUNNY HOSTIN: One of the problems with the interview is it was hours long. He was rambling. He was- There was very little pushback. He was allowed to lie about what his administration accomplished and didn't accomplish‚ what they did‚ what they didn't do‚ and the other piece of it I think that's troubling is that three executives went to Mar-a-Lago for dinner and to hang out. Like‚ there is supposed to be a separation between your interview subject and the interviewer and especially the network. You're supposed to cut- call it… you're supposed to be neutral as a journalist‚ and we see a lack of neutrality. We also know that the- I think the debate -- one of the Republican debates was co-sponsored by Fox‚ Fox Business Channel and Univision‚ and so it seems like they're sort of putting their thumb on the scale for the Republican party‚ and the Latino vote is a very important vote.  HAINES: When did this shift happen though? Because there was a time where --  HOSTIN: It seems to have happened in the pa- well-- (CROSSTALK) NAVARRO: Well‚ Televisa which is a Mexican network‚ the largest Mexican network in Mexico has bought 45% of Univision which is all they are allowed to buy under current law because a foreign entity can't own the majority of a network. And that's part of what people are speculating. Do they want that law changed?  HOSTIN: Maybe.  FARAH: Even so‚ journalists themselves‚ regardless of the parent company‚ have a duty to be neutral‚ to try to be as objective as possible and to try to fact-check and that’s the challenge with Trump is he bulldozes people‚ the most seasoned journalists. I think pre-taping interviews with him and then allowing yourself to edit in fact checks throughout- because the public doesn't even know what is real and what's not with him.  NAVARRO: He wasn’t even bulldozing anybody because there was literally nobody to bulldoze.  FARAH: And again‚ go through and fact check.  GOLDBERG: Hold on. There is a legal note. (in Scarface accent) HOSTIN: Because that's what we do here on ABC news. TelevisaUnivision CEO Wade Davis sent a note addressing the controversy writing‚ quote‚ our goal is to cover candidates from all political parties‚ Democrats‚ Republicans‚ and independents‚ and to assure Hispanics of the most comprehensive access to information that will help them make educated decisions at the ballot box‚ end quote.  GOLDBERG: When are they going to do that?  HOSTIN: Well‚ that-  NAVARRO: Not with this interview. They didn't educate anybody with this interview.  HOSTIN: It strikes me odd that the rebuttal interview with President Biden was canceled. HAINES: Yeah‚ was canceled.  NAVARRO: Yeah‚ and the ads were canceled after they had been purchased.  GOLDBERG: Univision‚ watch out. NAVARRO: We watching you!   

For the second time in recent history‚ the trash is promising to take itself out. In an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert‚" Barbara Streisand claimed she would leave the United States if Donald Trump is elected president in 2024. “How do you feel about the specter of a second Trump administration?” Colbert asked Streisand‚ who replied‚ “I will move. I can’t live in this country if he became president.” When Colbert then asked her where she would go‚ Streisand said “England‚ I like England.” This isn’t the first time Streisand has promised to leave the country. In 2016‚ she claimed she would move to Canada if Trump became president. When he did become president‚ she stayed in the United States. Streisand isn’t the only one. Whoopi Goldberg‚ Raven-Symoné‚ Miley Cyrus‚ Brian Cranston‚ Lena Dunham‚ Amy Schumer‚ and Chelsea Handler have all made similar promises in the past‚ but none of them followed through. “Obviously this country would be a lot better if the people who claimed that they were going to leave it after Trump’s 2016 victory actually would have left‚ but they didn’t‚” Blaze Media digital strategist Logan Hall says. Hall believes these celebrities “don’t really have a lot of loyalty to America.” “They don’t really feel like they’re American. They can just go and pack their bags and release all these horrible policies on the rest of us of lesser means who could not leave‚” he adds. Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson notes that these celebrities' opinions couldn’t matter less‚ not just because they’re awful at staying true to their word. “This is an 81-year-old actress. I have no idea why I should give two you know whats about what Barbara Streisand thinks about politics or anything else‚” Peterson says.

A recent Blaze News report revealed that an order from the Republican governor‚ a directive from the university system's chancellor‚ and the guarantee of a prohibitive law going into effect in January were not altogether enough to dissuade Texas A&;M University from asking potential hires to signal their ideological conformity to and support of diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion. The unwanted attention resulting from that same report appears to have had an impact‚ however‚ demonstrating the importance of vigilance and sustained pressure. Last week‚ Dr. Scott Yenor‚ a political science professor at Boise State University‚ highlighted various apparent examples of departments hiring "based on ideological conformity and racial preferences" at Texas A&;M. While many ostensibly DEI-coded postings remain‚ following Yenor's report‚ one of the most brazen examples had been noticeably altered. What's the background? Gov. Greg Abbott notified Texas public institutions in February to stop using DEI hiring practices. "The innocuous sounding notion of Diversity‚ Equity and Inclusion (DEI) has been manipulated to push policies that expressly favor some demographic groups to the detriment of others‚" said the memo‚ reportedly penned by the governor's chief of staff‚ Gardner Pate. Weeks later‚ the University of Texas System's Board of Regents indicated it had put a pause on all new DEI policies. Chairman Kevin Eltife‚ an Abbott appointee‚ suggested that while the system seeks to promote diversity‚ "certain DEI efforts have strayed from the original intent to now imposing requirements and actions that‚ rightfully so‚ has raised the concerns of our policymakers around those efforts on campuses across our entire state." On March 2‚ Texas A&;M University System Chancellor John Sharp directed university leaders to stop asking job applicants about their commitment to DEI in their applications‚ reported the Texas Tribune. "No university or agency in the A&;M System will admit any student‚ nor hire any employee based on any factor other than merit‚" wrote Sharp. Texas lawmakers went a step farther to ensure there was no outstanding confusion concerning the Lone Star State's prohibition on race- and identity-based hiring practices. Senate Bill 17‚ ratified by Gov. Greg Abbott and effective Jan. 1‚ 2024‚ prohibits Texas' public universities from establishing a diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion office; using DEI criteria in their hiring practices; and requiring employees or prospective employees to attend DEI trainings. The law further requires that governing boards ensure that each institutional unit does not‚ among other things‚ "compel‚ require‚ induce‚ or solicit any person to provide a diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion statement or give preferential consideration to any person based on the provision of a diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion statement." Public higher-education institutions will be audited every four years to determine if taxpayer funder were squandered on DEI-related schemes. Offending institutions that fail to correct the issue inside 180 days can become inelgible for formula funding increases and institutional enhancements‚ reported the Austin American-Statesman. Eltife‚ an Abbott appointee‚ said last week‚ "We really want to make something crystal clear‚ whether you like the policy or whether you like this law or any other law‚ the University of Texas System is going to respect the process‚ and we're going to respect the law. "We're not going to look for loopholes. We're not going to look for workarounds. We're going to implement the law as passed‚" said Eltife. The DEI scheme that won't die Dr. Yenor noted in his initial report that the Bush School of Government at Texas A&;M was hiring four tenure-track assistant professors‚ asking candidates in a posting — archived on Nov. 15 — to provide a cover letter "referencing research agenda‚ past or planned contributions to advancing diversity‚ and teaching interests." The day after Yenor's report‚ the posting was changed such that it now omits the "past or planned contributions to advancing diversity" language. Blaze News reached out to Texas A&;M's political science department but did not hear back by deadline. Yenor told Blaze News that the sudden about-face reveals that "there was a recognition that the job posting explicitly violated Gov. Abbott's order abolishing DEI statements in use for faculty hiring or university hiring or state hiring. It was a direct affront to Gov. Abbot's executive order." The change "brought them into compliance with the executive order‚" at least in this instance‚ said Yenor. Anna Katherine Miller‚ education policy director at the Center for American Education‚ told Blaze News‚ "Texas A&;M's recent removal of diversity in their job posting after being called out for defying the governor's directive shows that policies banning DEI will not be easy to enforce on college campuses. Unwilling university presidents‚ aided and abetted by campus DEI bureaucracies‚ will do their best to evade these orders." Yenor similarly suggested that prohibitions on DEI hiring practices "are pretty easy to evade. Many of the universities have already suggested that they're going to do it. My initial article tried to show some of the ways in which they were evading it‚ but the Bush School advertisement didn't even try to evade it. It just violated it." Yenor noted that one ostensible loophole is that rather than having applicants sign a DEI pledge‚ "they're willing to make sure to evaluate that job application in light of the fact that they've done the work of diversity over the course of their lives." "In other cases‚ the university says‚ 'This university stands for diversity and inclusion‚' in one part of the ad‚ then it asks the potential job applicants whether or not they would like to respond to what the university stands for. That's another way of ... providing an opportunity to candidates to volunteer their adherence to the ideology‚" continued Yenor. "I think the letter of the law may be complied with‚ but the spirit of the law is being violated in most of these jobs." Sherry Sylvester‚ distinguished senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation‚ told Blaze News that it's become clear since the passage of SB 17 that "many in the university are committed to find workaround loopholes and ways to not comply. They have said this directly and indirectly. They've talked about the possibility of changing DEI to some other name." Despite a name change and possible facelift‚ Sylvester made clear what DEI amounts to: division and dehumanization "The problem with DEI is that it is divisive. Its worldview is that America's bad‚ Texas is bad‚ and the world is made up of either oppressors or the oppressed‚" said Sylvester. "Your identity is based on immutable characteristics‚ gender and race‚ and not on your personal achievements; what you can do; what you've learned how to do; what you have overcome. We all don't start in the same place — nobody thinks that we do — but people achieve from wherever they start." "[DEI] is anti-individual. ... That's one thing that's antithetical to our Texas identity. We believe every individual is unique‚ every individual finds their path‚ and our job is to make sure that there's nothing that stands in the way of any individual‚" continued Sylvester. "DEI does not think in terms of the integrity of the individual. It thinks in terms of group identity‚ and people need to understand that."Seeing DEI off Extra to fostering an expectation among students and potential hires that they must be treated as individuals rather than on the basis of immutable characteristics and/or group membership‚ Sylvester suggested that there are other ways to hold the university accountable. "The legislation has several components for accountability. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is one group that is available to monitor ... and report lack of compliance. The state auditor will also be monitoring the universities. Every university will have to come in and testify before the higher education committees in the [state] House and the Senate affirming that they are in compliance‚" said Sylvester. However‚ even with such checks and balances‚ Sylvester underscored that good leadership remains a critical part of the solution. "Texas public universities should make sure that all the leadership they hire are fully committed to ridding the academic institution of DEI‚" said Sylvester. "No one should be hired for a leadership position in a Texas public university who supports DEI or has a wishy-washy position on DEI. Texans don't support DEI. The legislature has made it clear that we do not want DEI as part of the infrastructure in our institutions. So no leader should be hired unless they are fully committed to making sure that their academic institution is free of DEI." Yenor emphasized that the "only way to really halt the DEI revolution on campus is through university leadership that is willing to halt it and to put the money and prestige of the office of the university behind the non-DEI vision of education." The trouble‚ suggested the Boise professor‚ is that General Mark Welsh‚ Texas A&;M's interim president‚ "has signaled that he is interested in continuing the diversity‚ equity‚ inclusion revolution at Texas A&;M‚ furthering it and deepening it. ... He's going to do whatever it takes‚ it looks like‚ to comply whatever letter of of the law is out there but to violate its spirit." Gen. Welsh has long been a supporter of DEI‚ at least rhetorically. He recently told the Washington Post he would not have supported SB 17‚ stating‚ "I don't believe it's beneficial to where we are trying to go long-range as a society." Yenor indicated that the public has roughly 30 days to comment on whether Texas A&;M's Board of Regents should officially appoint Welsh as university president‚ noting that "I think this is one of the only chances that there will be to reverse some of these nefarious actions at Texas A&;M."

New York police arrested a homeless 15-year-old in relation to the stabbing death of a man and assault of another man. The Deputy Commissioner of Public Information said that police were called to Broome Street and Delancey Street in Sara D. Roosevelt Park in Manhattan on Tuesday at about 8:32 p.m. They found 25-year-old Pasquale Alonso and another 24-year-old male with stab wounds to the chest. Both victims were transported to NYC Health and Hospitals in Bellevue‚ where Alonso was pronounced dead. The other victim was reported to be in stable condition. Police said they arrested a 15-year-old suspect on Saturday and charged the teenager with murder‚ attempted murder‚ attempted assault and assault. The teen's identity was not released because they are underage. The New York Daily News reported that the victims and the suspect are all believed to be homeless. Sara D. Roosevelt Park is known as a hotspot for homeless encampments‚ drug deals‚ and drug usage. WABC-TV spoke with a man who sleeps at the park‚ and he told them drinking and fighting is common in the area. In Feb. 2022 residents around the park in Chinatown told Spectrum News N1 that drug use and violence had increased during the pandemic and they were afraid to be near the park at night. “Sometimes you see someone that look at you like they want to attack you‚ that is why you do not feel safe‚” said resident Sarry Lau. They said that the city hadn't done much to mitigate the situation despite the growing number of needles and other drug paraphernalia being found at the park. “Right at dusk‚ it empties out really quickly because they just don’t know who is going to be following behind them or walking behind them‚” said long-time resident Mary Cheng. Others took the side of the homeless people camping at the park. “People sleep on the streets because they feel it is their only option‚" said a spokesperson for the coalition for the homeless. The second victim is expected to recover from his stab wound. Here's more about the stabbing attack: Like Blaze News?

President Joe Biden‚ the oldest president in U.S. history‚ turned 81 years old on Monday. And the very same day‚ former President Donald Trump‚ who is currently 77‚ shared a note in which his personal physician Bruce Aronwald opined that Trump is "in excellent health.""I have been President Donald J. Trump's personal physician since 2021. During this time‚ I have conducted several comprehensive examinations‚ the most recent being September 13‚ 2023‚ and have supervised specialist consultations along with ancillary testing for screening and preventative health maintenance‚" Aronwald wrote. "I am pleased to report that President Trump's overall health is excellent. His physical exams were well within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional. In addition‚ his most recent extensive laboratory analysis remains well within normal limits and was even more favorable than prior testing in some of the most significant parameters‚ most likley secondary to weight reduction."Cardiovascular studies are all normal and cancer screening tests are all negative. President Trump has reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity‚ while maintaining a rigourous schedule. It is my opinion that President Trump is currently in excellent health‚ and with his continued interest in preventative health monitoring and maintenance‚ he will continue to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle for years to come‚" Aronwald noted. — (@) Trump and Biden are both crushing their respective presidential primary competitors in polls‚ and therefore appear to be poised to easily clinch their respective parties' 2024 presidential nominations next year.Biden would be 86 by the end of a second term in office‚ while Trump would be 82.Texas Gov. Greg Abbott endorsed Trump for president on Sunday. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for president earlier this month.Like Blaze News?
