Clickbait headlines, our shrinking attention spans, and their own errors are marching local newspapers straight to the grave.
But what is far scarier to me is so many of these dying papers only survive by signing on to leftist funding from the National Trust for Local News—trading independence for a lifeline from the biggest left-wing donors out there.
Donors include:
Knight Foundation Significant grants, including multi-million-dollar support for operations and expansions.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Funded early acquisitions, such as a $750,000 grant for Colorado newspapers.
Gates Family Foundation Supported Colorado projects, including printing facilities.
The Colorado Trust Key backer for Colorado initiatives.
Bohemian Foundation Contributed to infrastructure like printing presses.
Open Society Foundations (associated with George Soros) Provided general support since 2019; reports indicate contributions helped fund the 2023 Maine newspaper acquisition (though OSF states grants were not earmarked for specific projects).
Democracy Fund Listed as a supporter.
Marguerite Casey Foundation Supported Georgia operations.

I didn't say the kids thought that.
I haven't met a dedicated travel ball parent yet who doesn't think their kid will be a superstar at LSU on their next CWS team.
I see it on Facebook too. Parents paying tons of money for QB and speed coaches, shooting coaches, batting coaches, etc. Some dudes I am friends with post constant updates like their kid is a 5-star recruit, and literally no one comments or cares.
Out of all of my friends, only one ever had a daughter who became a D1 athlete, and she is at LSU now. He didn't even pay for all the training coaches for her. She was just gifted from the start.
The women in the article is what I typically see and base my comments on.
There are plenty of dedicated travel ball parents who are not selecting their kids agent or getting their NIL demands ready. The ones that are just drown out the majority.
We do not have a single parent on our team that believes that, Our kids all started out playing rec tee ball at the same place. Most hope they have a SHOT to make the high school team. And we are a Major team in the top tier of the state.
The others are out there. We played a Houston team last year with kids from Arizona and Cali on the roster. There is a Baton Rouge team in our age that has kids from New Orleans, Hammond and elsewhere recruited in..

It does not have to be as such. There are plenty of teams at the AA or AAA team that stay within a two hour drive and are there for the good side of things that come from playing on a team. Many may take a season ending destination event just for fun.

There are two Cooperstown outfits and the Cooperstown Dreans Park is lucrative for the owner.
Cooperstown Dreams is $1295 per player/coach with a minimum of 11 players and two coaches plus a $1295 umpire and $800 registration fee per team. There are 102 teams each week for 15 weeks in 2026. That is a minimum of $30,893,760 for the summer plus there are additional team fees required. Add on extras and the amount the kids spend at the snack stand because the meals are inedible and their revenue just grows.
Three days of seeding ganes then teams go into a 102 team bracket that is played over just two days. To win a team has to play a minimum of five games to win and as many as nine if seeded. Full six inning games with no time limit. The last four are on one day.
The two big NIT three day tournaments at Traction have just as good competition.
Dreams Park also has no grading and separation of teams by ability, no pitch limits despite playing six to ten full six inning games with no time limit over five days and allows bats illegal in every other promotion. They play on a 200 foot field which can make for some silly games as far as HR totals.

For New Orleans it was electing the first Landrieu in 1970.
In 1970, New Orleans had 593,471 people. By 2025, it’s a pathetic 351,399—a 40.8% plunge. Meanwhile, Atlanta grew from 496,973 to 510,823 by 2023. Houston nearly doubled, from 1,232,802 to 2,302,878. Dallas shot up from 844,401 to 1,302,868, and Miami climbed from 334,859 to 449,514. New Orleans’ metro area, at 1,030,000 in 2025, lost 4.3% of its population from 2020 to 2023, the worst drop among major U.S. metros. Compare that to Houston’s 7.3 million, Dallas-Fort Worth’s 8.1 million, and Atlanta’s 6.3 million. Progressives let New Orleans shrink while others thrive.
New Orleans’ economy is a disaster, and the Landrieu-led Progressives are to blame. The port, once a powerhouse, was gutted by automation and containerization, losing jobs while Progressives did nothing. The city’s stuck on low-paying tourism and healthcare, abandoning manufacturing and finance. In 2022, median household income was a measly $51,116, with a shameful 22.63% poverty rate. Atlanta? $81,446 and 17.7% poverty. Houston: $60,426, 19.8%. Dallas: $63,826, 17.6%. Even Miami: $54,858, 21.8%. New Orleans’ big industries—hotels, restaurants, education—pay peanuts, and tech or mining? Barely exist.
Atlanta’s a corporate giant with Coca-Cola, Delta, and UPS, boasting a $473 billion GDP in 2023. Houston’s energy and aerospace hub hits $633 billion, Dallas-Fort Worth’s tech and finance economy reaches $688 billion, and Miami’s trade and real estate deliver $447 billion. New Orleans? A pitiful $97 billion metro GDP. It has Entergy and some tourism cash—$10.05 billion in 2019—but that’s nothing next to its peers. The tech sector’s a joke compared to Dallas’ Silicon Prairie or Atlanta’s tech corridor. Progressives squandered every chance to compete.
Since Moon Landrieu’s election, Progressives have prioritized flashy tourism—jazz, Mardi Gras, Creole food—over real economic engines like Houston’s oil, Dallas’ tech, or Atlanta’s airport hub. They let the port decline, ignored infrastructure, and fumbled major projects like Formosa’s $9.4 billion complex, delayed and stalled. Post-COVID recovery? A total failure. New Orleans, once the South’s third-largest city in the 1800s, is now 53rd nationally, while Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and Miami dominate. Progressives’ mismanagement turned a vibrant city into a shrinking, one-trick pony. New Orleans is on life support, and the Landrieu Progressives are the culprits. The population’s cratered, the economy’s a disgrace, and other Southern cities have left it behind. The numbers scream failure: $51,116 median income, 22.63% poverty, $97 billion GDP. Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and Miami prove what’s possible with real leadership. New Orleans is a warning of what happens when corrupt, inept Progressives run the show, and it’s infuriating to watch it crumble.

A CIA wet team should have taken Singham out im a "car crash" months ago.
quote:
If you're still gullible enough to believe those instant "protests" — with professionally printed signs, coordinated chants, and social media floods — sprang up organically just hours after U.S. forces rightfully snatched narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro from his palace and liberated Venezuela from his tyrannical grip, wake up.
This was no grassroots outrage. It was a meticulously orchestrated astroturf operation, activated overnight by a network of Marxist operatives funded, at least in part, through channels tied to Beijing's influence machine — courtesy of Neville Roy Singham and his web of "nonprofits" like The People's Forum, CodePink, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.These paid agitators aren't defending "sovereignty"; they're shilling for a foreign-aligned ideology that hates America first. And they mobilized faster than any genuine movement ever could because they've been prepped, funded, and directed for exactly this moment.Venezuela is finally breathing free air.
Don't let these communist useful idiots drag us into their propaganda war.
Following the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026, a coordinated network of Marxist, socialist, and communist organizations in the U.S. launched a rapid information and mobilization campaign to defend him.The network, centered on groups like The People’s Forum, ANSWER Coalition, Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), CodePink, BreakThrough News, and Tricontinental Institute, activated within hours. They disseminated unified messaging denouncing the operation as "illegal bombing," "imperialist aggression," and "kidnapping."
Timeline of activation:
1:35 a.m.: BreakThrough News posted video framing the strikes as an "illegal bombing campaign of Caracas."
1:45 a.m.: Manolo De Los Santos (The People’s Forum executive director) echoed the "illegal bombing" narrative on social media.
2:29 a.m.: ANSWER Coalition (co-founded by Marxist Brian Becker) issued a red alert poster calling for protests in Times Square and other cities: "NO WAR ON VENEZUELA! STOP THE BOMBINGS."
2:34 a.m.: The People’s Forum shared the "EMERGENCY PROTEST" call.
2:43 a.m.: PSL reposted the poster.
3:21 a.m.: Vijay Prashad (Tricontinental director) posted "Down with US imperialism."
6:09 a.m.: CodePink (founded by Jodie Evans) condemned the "terrorist United States."
7:49 a.m.: International Peoples’ Assembly shared the emergency action poster and a statement urging resistance "by any means necessary."
This network operates under the International Peoples’ Assembly, linking U.S. groups with global socialist movements and Venezuelan allies like the Francisco de Miranda Front. Key figures include De Los Santos (liaison to Venezuelan regime events), Prashad (ideological lead), and Becker (mobilization coordinator).Historical ties include pro-Maduro protests, hosting Venezuelan officials, and direct interactions with Maduro. The network frames actions as anti-imperialist solidarity.By morning, protests mobilized in over 100 cities, including New York (Times Square) and Washington, D.C. (White House). Videos showed crowds chanting against "imperialist war." ANSWER and PSL leaders like Becker and Eugene Puryear rallied participants, claiming quick organization overnight.Politicians aligned with Democratic Socialists of America, including Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, echoed the network's talking points: "illegal" action, "regime change," and "about oil."The campaign aligned with statements from China (opposing "blatant use of force") and Russia ("act of aggression").This rapid, synchronized response transitioned from online propaganda to street mobilization, supporting Maduro during U.S. proceedings.
For those who are unaware who Neville Roy Singham is: He is the Shanghai-based American tech billionaire who cashed out ThoughtWorks for $785 million, and who stands accused of being a puppet master for the Chinese Communist Party's global propaganda machine. Investigations reveal he funneled hundreds of millions through nonprofits, shell companies, and tax-exempt groups to flood the world with Beijing's lies—defending Uyghur concentration camps as fiction, whitewashing Xi Jinping's tyranny, and sowing chaos in democracies.
He shares offices with CCP media outfits like the Maku Group, co-produces YouTube shows bankrolled by Shanghai's propaganda department, and even joined Communist Party workshops on pushing the party line internationally. In India, authorities probed him for money laundering after he allegedly pumped millions into outlets like NewsClick to peddle anti-India narratives, portraying Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as "disputed."
In the U.S., his cash fueled radical groups—CodePink (founded by his wife Jodie Evans), The People’s Forum, Party for Socialism and Liberation—that organized anti-Israel riots, pro-Hamas chants, and civil unrest, including ties to violence in Los Angeles. Congressional probes demand he explain potential Foreign Agents Registration Act violations, with calls for sanctions, asset freezes, and DOJ action over this "malign foreign influence."
This self-proclaimed Maoist admirer exploits American freedoms to wage a "smokeless war" for authoritarian regimes, betraying his own country while hiding behind "socialist" philanthropy. Denials ring hollow against the mountain of financial trails, shared staff, and synchronized messaging straight from CCP playbooks.

I’m genuinely curious to know in which material way the tariffs have benefited the American people.
As a negotiating tool, tariffs stand out as an exceptionally effective mechanism for advancing national interests in international trade. By imposing targeted duties on foreign goods, a country gains immediate leverage to compel trading partners to address grievances such as intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, or discriminatory barriers
hrvirginia.org +1
. This strategic pressure forces concessions that might otherwise be unattainable through diplomacy alone, resulting in more balanced agreements that enhance market access for domestic exporters and rectify trade deficits
cfr.org +1
. For instance, the United States has successfully wielded tariffs to negotiate improved terms with major partners: duties on Chinese imports extracted commitments to purchase billions in American agricultural and energy products, while tariffs on steel and aluminum from Canada and Mexico paved the way for the USMCA, which strengthened labor standards, environmental protections, and digital trade rules in favor of U.S. workers
pcclease.com +1
Tariffs as an end are not great. As a tool they are invaluable.
Tariffs excel in promoting reciprocity, ensuring that trading relationships are mutually beneficial rather than exploitative. When a nation faces dumping—where foreign entities flood markets with below-cost goods—tariffs neutralize this advantage, compelling offenders to raise prices or negotiate fairer practices, which ultimately expands opportunities for domestic firms abroad
. They also serve as a deterrent against non-tariff barriers like excessive regulations or subsidies in other countries, incentivizing global players to liberalize their markets in exchange for tariff relief. This dynamic not only resolves immediate disputes but builds long-term alliances, as partners recognize the mutual gains from equitable trade

Venezuela's government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) declared that incumbent Nicolas Maduro was the winner of the 2024 election with about 51% of the vote against opposition candidate Edmundo González's 44%, granting him a third term. However, the CNE provided no detailed polling-station tallies to support this claim, despite legal requirements and past practices.
The opposition collected over 80% of the voting machine receipts (actas), publishing them online and showing González winning by a wide margin (around 67% to Maduro's 30%). Independent analyses (e.g., by The Associated Press, The Washington Post, and election experts) verified these tallies as authentic and consistent, while describing the official results as statistically implausible or fraudulent.
International observers, including the Carter Center (the only independent group allowed to monitor), concluded the election "did not meet international standards of electoral integrity" and "cannot be considered democratic," citing irregularities like voter intimidation, blocked monitors, and lack of transparency. The United Nations, OAS, EU, and many countries (including the US, which recognized González as the winner) rejected Maduro's victory.
Countries allied with Maduro (e.g., Russia, China, Cuba) recognized his win. Widespread protests followed, with reports of repression, deaths, and arrests.
The WORLD should have removed this man from power two years ago and not waited for what happened today. The people of Venezuela celebrate today.
