Disney-owned ABC is now petitioning the Federal Communications Commission to officially declare the screeching harpies on The View as “bona fide news,” giving the daytime talk show a free pass to platform Democrat politicians while blackballing Republicans and dodging equal time rules that apply to every other broadcaster.

This is the same network that spent years pushing nonstop Trump Derangement Syndrome, COVID hysteria, and every woke agenda item under the sun, and now they want the government to rubber-stamp their partisan operation as legitimate “news” journalism? Give us a break.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, one of the few adults left in Washington fighting back against Big Tech and Big Media gatekeepers, just exposed the whole scheme in a blistering public statement that perfectly captures the hypocrisy:

Disney has filed a petition with the FCC asking the agency to declare that The View is exempt from the statutory equal opportunities requirements that would otherwise apply to broadcast shows.

Disney argues that The View qualifies as “bona fide news” under the law, comparing itself to Meet The Press or Face The Nation.

Therefore, Disney argues, it can have one partisan candidate for office on The View while denying equal opportunities to all others.

The FCC is now seeking public comment on Disney’s request to be labeled as “bona fide news.”

Is The View a “bona fide news interview program”?

Under FCC case law, tv shows do not qualify as “bona fide news” if their decisions are based on partisan purposes, such as an intention to advance or harm an individual’s candidacy.

As the Public Notice observes, Congress originally passed the equal opportunities law to prevent media gatekeepers from deciding the outcome of elections. The law, even when it applies, does not prohibit anyone from having any candidate appear on any show. Rather, Congress intended it to empower voters with more information and encourage more speech.

The FCC welcomes your views.

President Trump on Friday posted the ultimate troll of Trump-hating leftist comic Stephen Colbert following his final episode of “The Late Show” on CBS.

CBS announced last July that they would can Colbert when Paramount was acquired by David Ellison’s Skydance Media. Colbert hosted his final episode of The Late Show, which was losing an estimated $40 million to $50 million per year, last night.

On Wednesday, upon returning to DC from his keynote address at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, Trump was asked if he had a message for Colbert ahead of his last show on the network.

“I’ll have a message for him at a later day,” Trump said, smiling.

And on Friday, Trump issued his message, and it was incredible!

Trump posted the clip of Colbert, telling the audience, “Welcome back to our final broadcast,” as Trump crept up behind him.

Trump then grabs Colbert and throws him into a dumpster before closing the lid and doing the Trump Dance to the tune of YMCA.

WATCH:

Trump posted the clip on Truth Social and even in a rare X post.

While delivering remarks at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York, on Friday, President Trump stopped his speech twice to call out left-wing protesters, one of whom he hit with his classic “Go home to mom!” line. 

A second protester arose in the back just minutes later, and Trump encouraged the crowd not to hurt him. “Don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him!” Trump shouted, adding, “I do that for legal reasons.”

Throughout the speech, several protesters were thrown out. One held a sign calling Trump a “war criminal,” and another held a sign mentioning Jeffrey Epstein.

While Trump was speaking about men violating women’s sports and stealing trophies from female athletes, the first protester began disrupting.

In response, Trump shouted repeatedly, “Go home to mom,” and the crowd began chanting USA, drowning out the miserable leftist as he was escorted out of the building.

“Take him home to Mommy! He’s going to be in trouble,” Trump continued. “You know what he doesn’t say is his mom’s watching on television right now, and she’s loving it!”

After the disruption, Trump continued his speech, poking fun at the transgender athletes stealing women’s sports. Then he trolled the protester again, saying the disruptions are becoming increasingly rare. “That’s the first time it’s happened in a long time,” he said.

WATCH:

Trump: Go home to mom! Go home to mom. Take him home to Mommy! He’s going to be in trouble. You know what he doesn’t say is his mom’s watching on television right now, and she’s loving it!

Whatever happened to that guy, it’s so quick. I don’t know. I tell people, please don’t do it. It’s dangerous. To do it, to do it in this crowd is not a good thing. You don’t want to do it in Trump crowds. I’ve had very little. Do you remember, originally, I used to have a lot of that? You know, the first couple of months I’d have people screaming, and they learned it’s just not a good thing to do. It’s not good, it’s sort of dangerous. And, of course, I like things that aren’t dangerous. I don’t like to see people get whacked. I don’t like it, so don’t do it.

But we used to have it all the time. My first month or two, oh boy, guys would start screaming, “We hate you,” and then all of a sudden it got less, and now it never happens. That’s the first time it’s happened in a long time. That’s the first time it’s happened in a long time!

Moments later, another scene unfolded, and Trump paused his speech, noting, “Oh, we have another little disturbance back there.”

“What are you doing back there to these people? Boy, does that get cleared up fast?” Trump said. “The guy raises his hand, starts screaming something, and within about two seconds it’s over. What happened to him?”

“Don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him! I do that for legal reasons. This way, I can say. That’s a great thing to say: ‘Do not hurt him under any circumstances!’ And now I can say I’m innocent!” he continued.

WATCH:

Trump: Oh, we have another little disturbance back there. Hello. Hello everybody. That’s okay, it’s already cleared up. What are you doing back there to these people? Boy, does that get cleared up fast? The guy raises his hand, starts screaming something, and within about two seconds it’s over. What happened to him? Don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him! I do that for legal reasons. This way, I can say. That’s a great thing to say: “Do not hurt him under any circumstances!” And now I can say I’m innocent!

President Trump is preparing to hit Iran with a new round of military strikes, CBS reported on Friday evening.

CBS noted that no final decision has been reached.

Earlier Friday, President Trump raised eyebrows after he announced he would not be attending his son Don Jr’s wedding this weekend because it is “important” for him to remain in DC “during this important period of time.”

“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” Trump said.

“I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina!” Trump said earlier Friday.

CBS News reported:

The Trump administration was preparing Friday for a fresh round of military strikes against Iran, according to sources with direct knowledge of the planning, even as diplomacy continued.

No final decision on strikes had been reached as of Friday afternoon.

“Circumstances pertaining to Government” are keeping President Trump from attending his son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding this weekend, he said in a social media post. The president had planned to spend Memorial Day weekend at his golf property in New Jersey but will now return to the White House.

Some members of the U.S. military and intelligence community canceled their plans for the Memorial Day weekend in anticipation of possible strikes, several sources said.

Defense and intelligence officials began updating recall rosters for U.S. installations overseas as tranches of troops stationed in the Middle East rotate out of theater, part of an effort to reduce the American military footprint in the region amid concern about possible Iranian retaliation.

It’s Trump everywhere!

It’s a feature of our days that US President Donald J. Trump has become so prevalent in the media (and social media) that people ‘see’ Trump in the most varied ways: lookalikes (even women), and a variety of animals: a caterpillar that looks like Trump; a Yellow longhorn cowfish, a Golden Pheasant…

Some even see his silhouette in the clouds.

So, it was hardly surprising when news arose this week of an albino buffalo nicknamed ‘Donald Trump’ because it has flowing golden hair that is going viral.

The Telegraph reported:

“The 1,500lb bull, with a blond comb-over has become a star and receives a constant stream of curious visitors.

Zia Uddin Mridha, 38, the animal’s owner, said his brother named the buffalo after Mr. Trump because of its ‘extraordinary hair’.”

People have flocking to the farm in Narayanganj, near Dhaka, throughout the month of May, to meet the animal.

“One fan, arriving with five friends and relatives, said: ‘Truly, the features are similar between the buffalo and President Donald Trump. My nephew took a one-hour boat journey to see Donald Trump’.”

Unfortunately, the star bull is set to be sacrificed, alongside no less than 12 million livestock, in Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha later this month.

“’I am going to miss Donald Trump. But that is the core spirit of Eid al-Adha – making a sacrifice’, said Mr. Mridha who has cared for the four-year-old animal for the past year.”
