COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I was searching about civil unrest and found that FEMA did a report and cities your models. They even said:
ANSWER: Sources are saying that the Democrats, who had planned for a huge protest rally tomorrow, are disappointed again. The crowd is tiny. Our model on political civil unrest, which began with the Kent State Massacre of 1970 against Vietnam, peaked in 2017 with the violent protests in Washington, DC, with Trump’s inauguration. The good news is that the model bottomed in 2021, and here in 2026, it is the first wave up in the next iteration. So, it should be less in intensity, and that is what appears to be unfolding.
It seems that the Democrats and their propaganda over abortion and misrepresenting the entire issue has led many to be myopic and totally disconnected from the issues. The Democrats are still fighting internally and simply refuse to admit that they went way too far, embracing this like transgender, which represents such a tiny fragment of the population, turn women’s sports on its head while claiming to support women with abortion.
Let’s see. The double standard in DC and the Deep State imprisoning little old ladies for even walking in the capital building on January 6th and not imprisoning violate protestors at Trump’s last inauguration demonstrates the corruption in DC. The hopes of a significant violent protest to force Trump to call out the National Guard so they can label him a dictator is fading into the wind. The Democrats just oppose whatever the opposition proposes, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. This is the collapse of politics.

Following a well-documented act of journalistic manipulation by CBS where they edited an interview with Kamala Harris to fabricate her response to a question, President Trump sued CBS for $10 billion alleging ‘election interference and demonstrable bias.’
The editorial manipulation by CBS is not debatable, even Trump critics stood jaw-agape at how stunningly obvious the fabrication within the broadcast 60-minutes interview was. CBS didn’t even attempt to defend itself on the matter. {Background Link}
CBS parent company Paramount Global is currently in an acquisition/merger effort with Skydance Media. The FCC is currently reviewing the possibility of the deal. Here’s where it gets interesting.
Skydance Media is run by David Ellison, the son of billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. Larry Ellison is the background money behind Twitter, behind Elon Musk and deeply enmeshed with the Tech Bros motives and intents for gains in the new administration. Larry Ellison has a good relationship with Trump supporting his election.
According to the Wall Street Journal, CBS/Paramount are now considering a lawsuit settlement with Donald Trump that would support a more friendly relationship for their merger interests with David Ellison and Skydance Media. It’s a billionaire “big club” analytical decision.
(Via WSJ) – […] It’s become clear to executives at both companies that Trump’s dissatisfaction with CBS News will make the [FCC] review tougher than they anticipated, and that they’ll likely need to offer concessions to win approval, people familiar with the situation said.
Incoming Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr gave Paramount executives a warning to that effect at a reception late last year following the taping of the Kennedy Center honors in Washington, according to people familiar with the exchange, and he has echoed the message in public remarks.
The FCC has the authority over the transaction because it would involve the transfer of broadcast-TV licenses held by local CBS-owned stations.
Trump’s lawsuit against CBS, which seeks $10 billion in damages, alleges that the network committed election interference by editing portions of an interview with Harris, favoring her campaign for president. Trump claimed CBS aired one version of the interview on “60 Minutes” and another version on its show “Face the Nation,” each containing different answers about Israel. CBS has said it aired a more succinct version of Harris’s interview on “60 Minutes.”
[…] Paramount and Skydance executives have considered a number of possible changes the company could make to shore up CBS News editorial operations while reassuring Trump’s camp, including adding new processes around programming and possibly releasing the transcript of its “60 Minutes” interview with Harris, according to the people familiar with the situation.

The FCC is investigating CBS for blatant manipulation of news. [SEE COMPLAINT HERE] CBS really has no defense.

UPDATE: After jury agreed punitive damages were warranted, Zachary Young’s forensic economist, Robert W. Johnson, took the stand to assess CNN’s revenue to determine potential punitive damages and CNN’s ability to pay. Young estimated CNN makes $5 million per day. A 30-day award would be $150 million. Quickly CNN agreed to settle the punitive damage award for an undisclosed amount. The punitive award is secret.
CNN was sued for defamation by plaintiff Navy veteran Zachary Young. Mr. Young sued CNN for defamation after the cable network ran a hit piece against him and his company accusing Young of running a “black-market” rescue operation in the wake of the failed Afghanistan withdrawal. The hit piece ran on Jake Tapper and Jim Acosta’s segments on CNN.
The lawsuit progressed in the trial with the jury ultimately being handed the case for compensatory and punitive damages. Punitive damages were judged as warranted in the case because during the discovery phase of the trial Mr. Young’s lawyers were able to gain emails and internal correspondence within CNN showing intentional malice and willful intent to target and lie about Zachary Young.
Today the jury returned a verdict against CNN, awarding Mr. Young $5,000,000.00 in compensatory damages for his lost reputation, lost security clearance and complete loss of his business and income. The punitive damage award could be substantially higher and is yet determined.
FLORIDA – A Florida jury found that CNN liable of defaming Navy veteran Zachary Young on Friday and awarded him a total of $5 million in addition to finding that punitive damages were warranted against the network.
In his lawsuit against the cable news network, Young sought damages over a November 2021 report in which CNN chief national security correspondent Alex Marquardt claimed that bad actors were reportedly running a black market and charging exorbitant fees to Afghans attempting to flee their country after the Taliban retook control of it earlier that year.
Segments about Marquardt’s report ran on both Jake Tapper and Jim Acosta’s shows. Young’s name and face featured in both segments; he was the only individual identified by Marquardt.
Young’s legal team has submitted that CNN published “lies” about his business extracting people from Afghanistan and cited internal communications — which revealed that employees had doubts about the integrity of Marquardt’s story, as well as that Marquardt had called Young a “mf*****” whom he hoped to “nail” and agreed with a producer that the veteran had a “punchable face” — as evidence that the aim of of the story was to “hurt” him.

This trial outcome comes on the heels of ABC News agreeing to settle a defamation case against President Donald Trump for $15,000,000 which will be paid to his presidential library.

There is a call to delete META platforms in the wake of the TikTok ban that Mark Zuckerberg eagerly lobbied. The establishment blatantly controls mainstream media to the extent that countless outlets would like people to believe that the recent exodus of META users is due to Zuckerberg ending his widespread misinformation fact-checking centers. The people finally see that banning the last frontier for free speech is about government control.
Searches such as “how to delete all photos Facebook,” “alternative to Facebook,” “how to quit Facebook,” “how to delete threads account,” and “how to delete Instagram account without logging in” have increased by 5,000%. “How to permanently delete Facebook” reached a maximum score of 100 based on Google Trends, indicating that people are acutely interested in foregoing social media altogether. We would have seen a mass decline in X and TikTok users if people were concerned about “misinformation.”
Furthermore, Red Note, the Chinese version of TikTok, has been the #1 downloaded app since the Supreme Court ruling. The government is shocked that the people did not simply leave in favor of US censorship. American youth in particular are willingly signing up for an app that is actually controlled by the CCP to defy the government. The entire premise for the ban has backfired.
The US government is the only entity concerned about “misinformation” or the public sharing ideas that may contradict the narrative. President Joe Biden manipulated Facebook/META before taking office and used the platform as a key propaganda tool before and during his failure of a presidency. “Telling the truth matters … it’s just completely contrary to everything America’s about. We want to tell the truth. We haven’t always done it as a nation, but we want to tell the truth … I think it’s really shameful,” Biden said in regard to Zuckerberg steering to community fact-checking.
Zuckerberg turned on the US government when his platform was under fire for violating the First Amendment. He testified under oath that Joe Biden and US intelligence services forced him to censor American voices.
Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan that the censorship peaked during the pandemic when people were desperately searching for the truth. “This hit the most extreme. I’d say it was during the Biden administration when they were trying to roll out the vaccine program. Now I’m generally pretty pro rolling out vaccines, I think on balance the vaccines are more positive than negative but I think that while they’re trying to push that program, they also tried to censor anyone who was arguing against it,” he stated.
The masses are waking up in the post-COVID era and realize that the government is NOT there to help.
WE THE PEOPLE are no longer ignorant of the government’s control tactics. Quite frankly, everyone is absolutely fed up with the extreme lengths that the government has taken to stifle American voices. They first silenced conservative voices, and now they are silencing everyone with the TikTok ban under the guise of national security. Over 700,000 people thus far would rather willingly hand over their data to the Chinese Communist Party than allow their elected officials to silence them.

Eh, this could get messy.
Apparently, Steve Bannon was talking to media in Italy and said some rather confrontational things about Elon Musk.
(CP) “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon told the Italian daily Corriere della Sera this week. “He will not have a blue pass to the White House, he will not have full access to the White House, he will be like any other person.”
“He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” Bannon added. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”
[…] “This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system is gamed by the tech overlords, they use it to their advantage, the people are furious,” Bannon said, noting that “76 percent of engineers working in Silicon Valley are non-Americans.”
[…] “Peter Thiel, David Sachs, Elon Musk, are all white South Africans,” Bannon said. “He should go back to South Africa. Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?” (source)
This is like watching two Rams butt heads.
At the end of the day, thankfully Donald Trump is not Nikki Haley. Optimal solutions.

META CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast to discuss his recent announcement about removing all “fact checkers” from the operation of Facebook and Instagram and replacing the fact-checking system with ‘community notes.’
Within the interview, Zuckerberg outlines examples of the Biden administration contacting the platforms to demand the removal of information the White House deemed against the interests of government. Zuckerberg talks about the collapse in credibility within the platforms that happened as he lost control of the process and widespread viewpoint censorship became the norm. WATCH:

There is suddenly an outpouring of anger from the legacy media aimed at the Democrats who hid Biden’s mental health decline. Every channel now discusses what those with eyes, ears, and, most importantly, INDEPENDENT thoughts already knew. The same journalists who spent the past eight years demonizing Donald Trump are now outraged at their own party for hiding Joe Biden’s health condition and turning the country red—those who can think independently KNEW that Joe Biden’s health was failing many years ago.
“Tomorrow the President is going to make a fateful decision regarding Afghanistan - as I sat looking out the window at the sea - thinking I should resign in protest over will bring his administration down. Although I obviously there I feel like this is what it must have felt like for Kennedy then Johnson in the early days of VTN [Vietnam]. I feel guilty and boxed in myself. Guilty not having been more successful w/ the President - and staying. Boxed in by knowing or at least feeling that my resignation would only harden his position and leave him with one less voice.”
The man that Joe Biden was during that time no longer exists. He is not competent to form his own opinions and has become a complete puppet of the establishment that is taking advantage of a man in severe mental decline. Not only did the Democrats KNOW that Biden’s health was declining, but they deliberately used it to their advantage.
We knew that Joe Biden could not hold down a full-time job back when Jen Psaki was still press secretary. Psaki admitted that Biden could not begin his day before 10 AM, which was apparent on his public schedules. He was absent for over 40% of his term as the Democrats only wanted Joe in the spotlight when absolutely necessary.
“It’s not a good sign when everybody’s taking it live and the questions are predominantly about the president’s health and well-being,” Psaki said in July 2024, although she stepped down from the position in 2022. “That’s not a good sign on how things are going.” We knew long before then that Joe Biden was only permitted to call upon reporters who would ask pre-approved questions. He admitted it out loud to the public and showed us his cue cards. “I know that’s a weird way of saying it, but President Biden’s magic is not necessarily press conferences, I think it’s safe to say,” Psaki said. “It’s not even really necessarily interviews.” Leading the world’s top economy requires interviews and transparency. Still, the left looked the other way.
Current White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly ignored questions regarding Biden’s mental health. She insisted that Joe Biden was “sharp” despite his countless “gaffes” on the public stage. Reporters were condemned from even questioning Biden’s mental health. AMERICANS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO QUESTION IF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF HAD DEMENTIA. Even the former White House physician was unable to question Biden’s decline without receiving a strongly worded letter from Barack Obama.
Do not believe for a second that Joe Biden was innocent in all of this. “The Big Guy” had reasons to stay in power without stepping down. His entire family sold out the nation to foreign interests years before he took office and it is fair to say he was either blackmailed or too unaware to function. Biden became the first president to outright refuse a cognitive test, and we, the people, allowed it to happen.
America became the laughingstock of the world. Global news outlets would show Biden’s “gaffes” and laugh. Cabinet members would meet with leaders on his behalf as he was unable to do so. Everyone knew. The MEDIA would not let on the truth as it is run by the establishment.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer responded to the sudden outcry by insisting that the Democrats never hid Biden’s health status from the public. Remember how the Democrats instantly outed Biden after his first disastrous debate with Trump? The Democrats seemingly do not. Schumer insists that Biden stepped down “on his own because he thought it was better, not only for the Democratic Party, but for America.” Biden was firm in his stance that he would not drop out of the race. He then said he would consider stepping aside if a health issue presented itself, followed by announcing he fell ill with COVID-19. Then, the media reported that Biden was “receptive” to dropping out of the race. Tensions between the Bidens and his own party, particularly Nancy Pelosi, told a different story.
Stop listening to the mainstream media and look at the facts for yourself. No one should be surprised that Joe Biden was mentally unfit for the job. Most of us were outraged YEARS ago when it was clear as day that Biden was on the decline. The Democrats should be ashamed if not investigated for insisting that Biden was mentally competent to permit the establishment to control the nation.
