The Elitist Media's evening newscasts have shown that they have a hard time reporting on counteragenda items that expose blue states to accusations of incompetence or malfeasance. News related to public assistance fraud is especially rare among the nightlies, as is demonstrated by the latest news out of California. Watch as the CBS Evening News is the sole evening newscast to report on the massive early morning raid carried out by the FBI in Covina, California: CBS EVENING NEWS, 4/2/25, 6:42 PM TONY DOKOUPIL: CBS News is first to report the arrest today of a married couple in Southern California accused of ripping off Medicare for nearly $7.5 million through a series of fraudulent hospice claims. Over 700 hospices in Los Angeles County alone have red flags for fraud, according to our investigative team. In this particular case, the flags included a five year survival rate of 97%, high for what is supposed to be end of life care. The FBI says additional arrests are expected.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran — which has been largely but not entirely supported by major right-wing media outlets — is threatening to upend not just international oil markets but also world food production, with fertilizer costs soaring just as farmers in the global north enter the spring planting season. Some figures in right-wing media have taken notice, alarmed that a spike in domestic food prices could be disastrous for President Donald Trump and Republicans in the fall midterms. Globally, poor countries are set to take the brunt of the disruption, which could trigger famine or political instability in especially vulnerable areas. The right-wing comments on the potential looming food crisis largely break along two lines. The first is pro-war voices, mostly at Fox and Newsmax, who have argued that Iran's closing of the Strait of Hormuz (the primary driver of the fertilizer shortages) is proof that the United States and Israel should escalate the war to ensure that Tehran …

The Rev. Franklin Graham topped headlines this week after President Donald Trump shared a letter Graham wrote to him about salvation, including a powerful explanation of the gospel. Now Graham is about to share a powerful message once again, on Resurrection Sunday, on the CBN Newschannel. Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse, told CBN News he wrote the letter last fall after Trump's comments about eternity went viral. MORE 'You Can't Save Yourself': Why Did Trump Share the Raw Gospel Plea That Franklin Graham Sent Him? At the time, the president commented about trying to get to heaven. "This letter was written in October, after President Trump had made a comment to the media — maybe in jest — about not knowing if he would make it to heaven," the evangelist said. "I wanted him to know what the Bible says and that he could be sure."

Wilshire Boulevard runs like an artery through Los Angeles, stretching 16 miles from downtown to the Pacific Ocean. It's named after Henry Gaylord Wilshire, an influential real estate developer who once marketed a strange 1920s invention called the Ionaco, an electric healing belt. According to Wilshire's advertisements, the device was plugged into a household light socket and worn around the body, where it was said to improve the blood and increase oxygen in the body, restoring the user to health. It was promoted as a cure for a wide range of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis, and arthritis. Medical experts later dismissed it as quackery, but that didn't stop people from buying it. Wilshire sold more than 50,000 belts. It's easy to laugh at something like the electric healing belt. But there's a deeper reason people bought them: Wounded people long for healing.

Legal setbacks at the Supreme Court — including visible skepticism from justices about the administration's bid to limit birthright citizenship — are being cited by Reuters, CNN, and other outlets as a central factor in President Donald Trump's decision to fire Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday. Conservative legal scholar John C. Yoo — the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at University of California, Berkeley School of Law; nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute; and former Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel official who clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas — told commentators Trump may have concluded "he needs new lawyers" after watching key cases play out unfavorably.

A month after the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, President Donald Trump addressed the nation in a prime-time speech on April 1, saying the military operation was "getting very close" to completing its mission. Trump repeated some false and questionable claims we've written about before. Trump said the U.S. "totally obliterated" three nuclear facility sites in Iran last June. Experts and a classified U.S. intelligence report said the sites were damaged and Iran's uranium enrichment program was set back, but the sites and the country's nuclear capabilities weren't completely destroyed. The president said that Iran was "right at the doorstep" of "a nuclear bomb." Arms control experts have said that there's a lack of evidence that Iran was rebuilding its nuclear program before the U.S./Israeli military operation and that a nuclear weapon wasn't "imminent."

If last year's Republican megabill served as Congress' gateway drug to party-line government funding, the GOP's latest spending plan makes clear it was habit-forming. Nine months ago, Republicans used the budget reconciliation process to skirt a Democratic filibuster and enact more than $280 billion for the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. It shattered conventional wisdom on Capitol Hill that reconciliation's special power couldn't — and shouldn't — be used to circumvent the across-the-aisle work Congress does each year to fund federal agencies.

President Trump is once again trying to alter the American legal landscape via executive order. His latest missive instructs the Department of Homeland Security to assemble definitive lists of eligible, voting-age U.S. citizens, using data provided by the Social Security Administration; to synchronize those lists with voting officials in the states before each federal election; and then to cooperate with the U.S. Postal Service to ensure that any illegitimate ballots cast by mail are nixed at the source. According to a White House spokesman, Trump's plan would enable the federal government to "verify" that ballots are not only "being sent to people who are eligible to vote" in the first instance, but ensure that those which are returned are "returned by eligible voters only."

President Trump's biggest fans and strongest critics agree on something: The downfall of Pam Bondi as attorney general had two causes. The largest failure was her inability to secure convictions of the president's enemies despite his adamant urging that she should do so. "He is looking for scalps but she hasn't delivered," said one GOP strategist well connected to Trump's orbit, granted anonymity to speak candidly. "She didn't deliver the kind of results that the president was hoping for. She tried and didn't succeed — and in Trump World that doesn't fly." Trump's critics have the slimmest sliver of sympathy with Bondi in that regard. They contend a vengeful president expected her to accomplish the impossible — securing guilty verdicts without clear and compelling evidence. But, they also note, she was an eager partner in that quest.
