Help Them! They’re White!
If you’re black, brown or yellow, to him you’re a goner.
But if you’re a honky from South Africa,
Come on in, we’ll look after ya,
‘Cause you’re white — you’re all right — you poor, persecuted Afrikaners!
‘Nero’ Cans Hero, Picks Pirro
When Ed Martin turned out to be the insurrectionists’ hero,
Trump turned his attention to FOX TV’s Jeanine Pirro.
So, do we think there’s a snowball’s chance
Of Trump naming someone competent who’s not on FOX?
Nope, in our playbook the odds of that are less than zero.
REM Releases Remix of Its First Hit Song As a Fundraiser for Radio Free Europe
One of the most innovative reactions to the Trump/Musk chainsaw approach to destroying the U.S. government has come from rock ‘n roll superstars, REM. The group’s members, Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck and Bill Berry, have commissioned a remix of their 1981 college radio hit, “Radio Free Europe,” and released it with all proceeds going to support Radio Free Europe.
Musk/Trump axed funding for key federally supported broadcasting outlets in March. On March 9, Trump ordered the U.S. Agency for Global Media, USAGM, to “eliminate all activities that are not required by law,” according to NPR.
The network also reported that “The termination notices for grants for the funded networks, two of which were reviewed by NPR, carried the signature of Trump’s senior adviser Kari Lake, whom he placed at USAGM, not the agency’s acting chief executive. Lake does not appear in her current job to have the statutory authority to carry out that termination.”
In a its statement on its official website, REM said, “We are thrilled to announce the release of Radio Free Europe 2025, a five-track benefit EP featuring two never-before-released tracks: a 2025 remix by longtime collaborator Jacknife Lee and original producer Mitch Easter’s 1981 remix ‘Radio Free Dub.’”
“The cancellation of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s grant agreement would be a massive gift to America’s enemies,” Steve Capus, the president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, said in a statement today shared with NPR. “The Iranian Ayatollahs, Chinese communist leaders, and autocrats in Moscow and Minsk would celebrate the demise of RFE/RL after 75 years. Handing our adversaries a win would make them stronger and America weaker. We’ve benefitted from strong bipartisan support throughout RFE/RL’s storied history. Without us, the nearly 50 million people in closed societies who depend on us for accurate news and information each week won’t have access to the truth about America and the world.”

White House Wired for Happy Trump News
If you’ve read, heard or watched the political or business news lately, you’ve probably noticed something — it’s mostly bad. Like, really bad.
But fear not! There is good news out there about the Trump administration and its historic accomplishments in its first 100 days, and you can find it on the White House Wire.
If you noticed the WHWire looks a bit like the Drudge Report, you’d be right. Matt Drudge noticed and trolled the White House on his site with: “Developing: Trump launching his own Drudge Report using taxpayer dollars!”
The content on WHWire runs the gamut from fawningly sucking up to the president to downright fabrications. Here are some headlines:
“KENNY CODY: Pete Hegseth’s accomplishments in first 100 days are historically transformative” published on HumanEvents.com
“JD Vance: What President Trump achieved in his first 100 days” An op-ed in where else but Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post.
“The beginning of Trump’s ‘golden age’ is here and putting ‘more money’ in your pocket, labor secretary says” on FOX Business
And because sometimes the supply of happy Trump news runs a little thin, the White House posts its own take on current events, with “JOBS BOOM: More Americans Working for Higher Pay,” a press release that quotes Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as saying: “This is the second month in a row where the jobs report has beat expectations. Wages are continuing to rise and labor force participation is increasing. This is exactly what we want to see. More Americans working for higher wages. More winning is on the way!”
So, if the bad old news gets you down, hop on over to the White House Wire, where the news is always positive, the people are all white and the women are all blondes.
