Liberal Media Collapse Continues: Washington Post Laying Off Dozens of Staffers – ‘Cuts Will be Deep’

Liberal Media Collapse Continues: Washington Post Laying Off Dozens of Staffers – ‘Cuts Will be Deep’
January 7, 2025

The Washington Post lost more than $70 million dollars last year and rather than trying a course correction, they doubled down on woke. One of their cartoonists recently resigned because Jeff Bezos nixed her anti-Trump cartoon that also criticized her own paper.

Now the paper is laying off dozens of staffers. It turns out decisions have consequences.

Like many other liberal media outlets, the Washington Post has become a captive of their most far left readers. They can’t triangulate politically because they would lose the last group of readers that they have left.

Breitbart News reports:

Report — ‘The Cuts Will Be Deep’: Washington Post to Lay Off Dozens of Staffers

The Washington Post will reportedly lay off dozens of its staffers in the next few days, the news coming after the publication caught flak for not endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris (D) during the presidential election that Donald Trump won in November.

In his article published on Status, Oliver Darcy wrote Sunday that “the layoffs are slated to hit the Jeff Bezos-owned and Will Lewis-led newspaper’s business division, I’m told. One person familiar with the matter said that the cuts will be deep, impacting many dozens of employees.”

Bezos has reportedly been shaking up the Post after it decided not to endorse Harris, according to Breitbart News.

Darcy continued:

The layoffs will surely deplete morale further inside the beleaguered newspaper, which has suffered a talent exodus over the last several weeks. As I reported earlier, star reporter Josh Dawsey will exit The Post for a job at The Wall Street Journal. His departure comes on the heels of other top staffers fleeing, including Matea Gold, Ashely Parker, Michael Scherer, Charles Lane, Tyler Pager, and Amanda Katz.

FOX News is reporting that the WaPo has even had to cut their ‘gender columnist’ if you can believe they had such a thing:

Washington Post editors ‘killed’ piece from its ‘gender columnist,’ plan to scrap role entirely

The Washington Post is planning on eliminating its “gender columnist” position after the writer penned a piece that was ultimately scrapped by the paper’s editors, Fox News Digital has learned.

Monica Hesse, who made headlines in 2018 by becoming The Post’s first-ever “gender columnist,” will not hold that title much longer after writing a column about gender was “killed” by her editors, two sources tell Fox News Digital. It is unclear what Hesse had written in the column and what the editors objected to.

Hesse, currently a columnist for the paper’s Style section, is expected to be reassigned either to its Opinions section or remain in Style as a reporter, the sources added.

Progressive policies have an amazing success rate when it comes to destroying iconic brands.

NANNY STATE: Biden’s FDA Trying to BAN Cigarettes on His Way Out the Door

NANNY STATE: Biden’s FDA Trying to BAN Cigarettes on His Way Out the Door
January 7, 2025

As you may recall, there was lots of chatter among liberals last year about banning menthol cigarettes. They ended up postponing that move because they thought it would hurt Democrats in the election.

Now that Democrats lost and Joe Biden is on his way out the door, his FDA is working to ban ALL cigarettes.

Why can’t Democrats just leave people alone? Not to mention the fact that this would undoubtedly create a new black market for cigarettes.

FOX News reports:

Biden admin working to effectively ban cigarettes in 11th hour proposal a ‘gift’ to cartels, expert says

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving forward with a regulatory rule in the final days of the Biden administration that would effectively ban cigarettes currently on the market in favor of products with lower nicotine levels, which could end up boosting business for cartels operating on the black market, an expert tells Fox News Digital.

“Biden’s ban is a gift with a bow and balloons to organized crime cartels with it, whether it’s cartels, Chinese organized crime, or Russian mafia. It’s going to keep America smoking, and it’s going to make the streets more violent,” Rich Marianos, former assistant director of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the current chair of the Tobacco Law Enforcement Network, told Fox News Digital of the proposal.

The FDA confirmed to Fox Digital on Monday that as of Jan. 3, the Tobacco Product Standard for Nicotine Level of Certain Tobacco Products had completed a regulatory review, but that the proposed rule has not yet been finalized.

Ward Clark writes at RedState:

The Biden administration appears to have learned nothing from Prohibition, or any other time the federal government has tried this kind of heavy-handed approach. The Mexican cartels, when they learn of this, will be rubbing their hands together in glee; another billion-dollar black market will soon be opening up, courtesy of the Biden administration, complete with turf wars and all that goes with it.

What’s next? Banning junk food? A government that comes after smoking wouldn’t think twice about coming after your potato chips.

REPORT: Homelessness Increased by 30 Percent Last Year in Illegal Immigrant-Friendly Colorado

REPORT: Homelessness Increased by 30 Percent Last Year in Illegal Immigrant-Friendly Colorado
January 7, 2025

Colorado has bent over backwards to be welcoming to illegal border crossers in recent years. In the meantime, and perhaps as a direct result, homelessness went up by 30 percent in the state over the last year.

Perhaps Colorado would be better off if leaders in the state spent more time worrying about the welfare of American citizens, and maybe trying to build more housing.

It’s not like there isn’t any funding. The state has spent millions trying to address this problem and who knows how many tax dollars they have spent on illegal aliens?

FOX 31 in Denver reports:

Report: Homelessness in Colorado increased 30% in 2024

A count of people in homeless shelters, temporary housing or on the streets in Colorado indicates homelessness in the state has increased by 30% in 2024.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development late last month released the findings of the January 2024 point-in-time count, which indicated an 18% increase across the country. HUD officials said the count likely does not reflect the current homelessness situation due to policy and condition changes throughout the year.

The Metro Denver Homelessness Initiative in August had already released the metro Denver findings of the point-in-time count, which indicated a record-high amount of homelessness in the Denver area…

One of the starkest increases was among people in families: a 134% increase from 2023.

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless in a Monday press release said this jump could reflect the increase in migrants to Denver, high housing costs, the impact of inflation or the emergency voucher disbursal methods.

Why do taxpayers tolerate this?

Will anyone be held accountable?

“This is Not Normal” – LEAKED: Veterans Affair Insider Reveals HHS Memo Detailing “Presidential Inauguration Medical Personnel Support Deployment Request”
January 7, 2025

The O’Keefe Media Group obtained a leaked memo detailing an unusual “presidential inauguration medical personnel support deployment request” for Trump’s inauguration.

The Department of Veterans Affair insider told James O’Keefe that she has never seen a request like this before.

“This is not normal,” the VA insider told James O’Keefe.

Per O’Keefe Media Group:

“What concerned me was that this has never been requested before, especially not from HHS,” an insider within the Department of Veterans Affairs told O’Keefe Media Group, revealing an internal memorandum requesting medical personnel ahead of the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. The documents, addressed to Dr. Paul D. Kim of the Veterans Health Administration’s Office of Emergency Management, detail a formal appeal for paramedics, emergency nurses, and doctors.

When questioned by James O’Keefe about if it was typical for the Office of Emergency Management to administer this kind of memorandum for previous inaugurations, Derrick Jaastad, the Executive Director for the VHA Office of Emergency Management, said, “I was not with the organization, so I can’t speak to that.

Directed to speak with Public Affairs Specialist Kurt M. Rauschenberg, an OMG Journalist, asked if the deployment of medical personnel by HHS was typical for a presidential inauguration. Similar to Jaastad’s response, Rauschenberg replied, “I personally can’t speak to previous inaugurations.”

Despite a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Health and Human Services O’Keefe Media Group did not receive an explanation.

WATCH:

O’Keefe posted photos of the memo:

FBI Confirms Cybertruck Bomber Matthew Livelsberger Sent Shocking Email Claiming China’s ‘Gravitic Drones’ Threaten U.S. East Coast, Warning of Impending Attack

FBI Confirms Cybertruck Bomber Matthew Livelsberger Sent Shocking Email Claiming China’s ‘Gravitic Drones’ Threaten U.S. East Coast, Warning of Impending Attack
January 7, 2025

Matthew Livelsberger was a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army, serving as a Green Beret with the 10th Special Forces Group

The FBI has verified the authenticity of an email sent by Matthew Livelsberger, the individual behind the recent Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.

In the email, Livelsberger alleged that China has deployed advanced “gravitic drones” capable of launching attacks along the U.S. East Coast.

“We have confirmed that the document that [Livelsberger] sent to the podcast, we know that he was the one that sent that document,” said FBI Special Agent Spencer Evans, adding they have not yet addressed “into what’s legitimate, what’s not.”

WATCH:

Investigations also revealed that Livelsberger utilized artificial intelligence tools, including ChatGPT, to plan the attack.

He sought instructions on calculating the amount of explosives needed and how to purchase a phone without revealing his personal information.

WATCH:

Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, was identified as the individual responsible for the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day.

Prior to the explosion, Livelsberger died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that an email from Master Sgt. Matthew Livelsberger, a U.S. Army Green Beret, has been sent to Sam Shoemate, an intelligence officer and Chief Warrant Officer 2 (US Army, retired).

The email, purportedly sent just days before the explosion, claims to expose hidden military operations and warns of escalating threats to national security.

Livelsberger revealed in the email that the FBI was tracking him for attempting to be a whistleblower.

Livelsberger’s email mentioned “gravitic propulsion systems” and claimed that both the U.S. and China had been covertly deploying this technology.

A “gravitic propulsion system” refers to a hypothetical propulsion technology that would use the force of gravity to propel a spacecraft or vehicle, essentially manipulating gravitational fields to achieve movement without the need for traditional propellant, considered a highly theoretical concept with no proven working technology currently available.

Below is the email sent by Livelsberger from a ProtonMail account ([email protected]) on December 31, 2024:

“In case I do not make it to my decision point or on to the Mexico border I am sending this now. Please do not release this until 1JAN and keep my identity private until then.

First off I am not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 Black Ford Mustang V6 for verification.

What we have been seeing with “drones” is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the east coast, but throughout history, the US. Only we and China have this capability. Our OPEN location for this activity in the box is below.

China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon for sigint and isr, which are also part of the integrated comms system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time.

The so what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned AC, they are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the WH if they wanted. It’s checkmate.

US needs to give the history of this, how we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere in the east coast

I’ve been followed for over a week now from likely homeland or FBI, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won’t because they know i am armed and I have a massive VBIED.

I’ve been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me. I have knowledge of this program and also war crimes that were covered up during airstrikes in Nimruz province Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DoD, DEA and CIA.

I conducted targeting for these strikes of over 125 buildings (65 were struck because of CIVCAS) that killed hundreds of civilians in a single day. USFORA continued strikes after spotting civilians on initial ISR, it was supposed to take 6 minutes and scramble all aircraft in CENTCOM. The UN basically called these war crimes, but the administration made them disappear.

I was part of that cover-up with USFORA and Agent [redacted] of the DEA. So I don’t know if my abduction attempt is related to either. I worked with GEN Millers 10 staff on this as well as the response to Bala Murghab. AOB-S Commander at the time [redacted] can validate this.

You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation. For vetting my Linkedin is Matt Berg or Matthew Livelsberger, an active duty 18Z out of 1-10 my profile is public. I have an active TSSCI with UAP USAP access.”

Authorities also discovered a manifesto on Livelsberger’s phone, indicating his intent for the explosion to serve as a “wake-up call” for the nation.

He expressed grievances about the country’s leadership and societal issues, stating that Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence.

In one excerpt from the note application on Livelsberger’s device, he writes:

“Fellow service members, veterans, and all Americans, TIME TO WAKE UP! We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves.”

“We are the United States of America, the best country and people to ever exist. But right now, we are terminally ill and headed towards collapse. This was not a terrorist attack; it is a wake-up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives? Why did I personally do it now? I need to cleanse my mind of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.”
