Longtime CNN Reporter Admits He “Screwed Up” by Trusting Fauci

Former CNN editor-at-large, Chris Cillizza, admitted he made significant mistakes in assessing Anthony Fauci’s credibility during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cillizza acknowledged he was wrong, dismissing President Donald Trump and others who questioned Fauci’s narrative.

The reporter even confessed that his trust in Fauci’s and Trump’s bias led him to overlook alternative perspectives.

“If this was a debate between Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci on the origins of a pandemic-level virus, I was going to go with the guy who spent his entire career studying this stuff, not the reality TV-star-turned-president,” Cillizza wrote.

As evidence supports the lab-leak theory, something which Trump and many conservatives said from the beginning, Cillizza admitted he was wrong.

“The lesson: Be skeptical — of experts or anyone else — when dealing with a rapidly developing and changing situation where no one has the ability to see a 360-degree view,” he added.

Fauci is quickly becoming less credible in the mainstream due to his shifting guidance, missteps, and inconsistencies in his messaging.

President Trump revoked Fauci’s federal security detail last week, justifying the s decision by saying that former officials should not rely indefinitely on government-funded security

This came days after Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to Fauci and others.

Cillizza then went on to criticize himself for clouding his judgment.

“My belief at the time was that Trump was just making it up. Like, he wanted to blame China for the virus. And it having leaked from an infectious disease lab — whether accidentally or intentionally — made that case much easier to make,” he admitted.

“Do I think that’s what happened?” he asked.

“That Trump knew — like, really knew — way back then that Covid had come from a lab? Or was he just saying stuff — and that stuff wound up being proven correct in the long run? Honestly, I am not sure we will ever know.”

“It never entered my mind that, as president, it was possible that Trump had been privy to information not publicly available on the virus,” Cillizza wrote.

Cillizza concluded: “Just because Trump talks out of his ass a fair amount doesn’t mean everything he says is him talking out of his ass. Don’t disqualify the possibility of Trump telling the truth solely because he is a decidedly inconsistent messenger when it comes to truth.”

Joy Reid Guest Goes Off on Bizarre Rant: “DEI About Disabled Veterans, Not Race”

MSNBC host Joy Reid made a surprising interpretation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) this week, claiming it was not about race, gender, or identity politics but about supporting disabled veterans.

Who knew?

During a discussion with her guest, Everett Kelley, National President of the American Federation of Government Employees, both criticized President Donald Trump‘s executive order to shut down DEI offices across federal agencies.

Reid began by referring to the order and asking Kelley how his union would respond.

“This memo, we can put it up on screen, and it went to all heads and acting heads of departments and agencies, shuttering DEI offices and other things. What is the union’s response going to be?” Reid asked.

Kelley argued that the public misconceptions about DEI need to be corrected. “We have an obligation to educate the public as to what DEI really is because, number one, it’s not affirmative action as some might think,” Kelley stated.

He then framed DEI as a program that accommodates disabled veterans in federal jobs.

You heard that right.

“DEI is about making sure that, say, a veteran may have a handicap, an injury from the services, and come to work for the federal government,” Kelley said. “DEI would make sure that that veteran has the, I guess, I would say the opportunity to work in a job, and they were placed in a position where they could accommodate that veteran and so that they can do their job.”

Kelley then insisted that DEI has been misunderstood as a program focused on racial or gender quotas. “It’s not about the color of a person’s skin. It’s about disabled veterans being accommodated,” he added.

Reid chimed in, dismissing the idea that DEI is a racial or gender-based initiative. “And it’s not a quota program. Let’s just be clear. They believe DEI just means black people getting jobs, and so when they see a black person in any job, they say, ‘Oh, that person’s a DEI hire.’”

Reid also pulled out the race card to target anyone daring to question Vice President Kamala Harris’s qualifications.

However, then-candidate Joe Biden openly admitted that choosing a female running mate was a result of mounting pressure from within the Democratic Party for him to select a black woman.

Reid and Kelley’s claim that DEI is a patriotic program for disabled veterans flies against the reality that it is actually about gender equity and LGBTQ+ inclusion.

It appears they are trying to repackage DEI for it to survive under Trump’s presidency.

Regardless of their attempts to re-market DEI, Trump moves forward with his plans to eliminate it from federal agencies.

Angry Chicago Resident Slams Dems For Trying to Thwart Trump’s Deportation Agenda

Chicago resident Vashon Tuncle called out state and local officials for pushing back against the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal migrants.

President Donald Trump is making good on his promise to shut down the U.S. southern border and carry out mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens.

During an appearance on The Ingraham Angle,” host Laura Ingraham asked Tuncle for his thoughts on Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson over their opposition to the deportations.

“How do you guys sleep at night knowing that there are rapists out here that committed these heinous crimes against the children and the women?” Tuncle asked, referring to Johnson and Pritzker.

“How do you guys sleep at night knowing that we’re half a billion dollars in debt when it comes to these illegals?”

“How do these men sleep at night knowing that you’re putting illegal immigrants that are committing crimes over the American citizens? I just can’t believe that they’re doing this.”

Johnson announced he would team up with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) to launch a “Know Your Rights” ad campaign to help illegals when they visited “by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” Pritzker also vowed to “stand in the way” of federal efforts if the feds were to break state laws.

Since Joe Biden took office in 2021, over 10 million illegal migrants are believed to have entered the U.S., with sanctuary cities like New York City buckling under the flood of newcomers.

Last year, Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the city spent $2 billion on housing and rent for illegal migrants, $2 billion on services and supplies, and almost $500 million on food, medical aid, IT, and administrative costs

Tuncle stated that those who have crossed into the U.S. are “committing a crime.”

“We have to just start putting Americans first. It’s just as simple as that. I believe [border czar] Tom Homan is doing the right job when it comes to putting Americans first,” Tuncle said.

“I just want to say this to all the criers out there who are crying over the undocumented immigrants who’ve been here for years and whatever, like Selena Gomez. Tom Homan has already made this clear. If you are here illegally, you’re not off the table.”

“You are committing a crime within itself if you’re here illegally in America.”

New CIA Director Ratcliffe Commits to Investigating COVID Origins, Countering China

John Ratcliffe, the newly confirmed director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), laid out his priorities in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News following his confirmation by the U.S. Senate on Thursday.

Ratcliffe, sworn in by Vice President J.D. Vance, emphasized the need to reform the agency, depoliticize its operations, and confront the geopolitical threats posed by China.

Ratcliffe made it clear that one of his first actions as CIA director will be addressing the agency’s lack of a formal assessment on the origins of COVID-19.

The virus, which has claimed over a million American lives, has been at the center of a heated debate over whether it originated naturally or leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

“I’ve been on record as you know in saying I think our intelligence, our science, and our common sense all really dictate that the origins of COVID was a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Ratcliffe said.

“But the CIA has not made that assessment or at least not made that assessment publicly. So I’m going to focus on that and look at the intelligence and make sure that the public is aware that the agency is going to get off the sidelines.”

The CIA has faced criticism in recent years, with allegations that analysts were bribed to dismiss the lab leak theory.

While the lab leak hypothesis has gained significant traction, the agency has yet to take an official stance, a position Ratcliffe intends to change.

Ratcliffe highlighted China as the top foreign threat to U.S. national security and vowed to provide President Donald Trump with the intelligence needed to counter Chinese aggression.

“As President Trump deals with President Xi [Jinping], he needs to be armed with the very best intelligence,” Ratcliffe said.

“If they caused or contributed to the death of a million Americans, the president needs to be armed with that.”

Ratcliffe’s stance on China is consistent with his tenure as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), during which he warned of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) influence and nefarious activities.

He co-authored a 2023 op-ed with former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Cliff Sims, detailing the growing threat posed by China.

The CIA director criticized the intelligence community for its slow response to the shifting global landscape, noting that much of the establishment remains focused on Russia, despite China emerging as the United States’ primary geopolitical adversary.

Ratcliffe argued that the U.S. intelligence and foreign policy establishment has failed to adapt to the realities of the 21st century, where China’s economic and technological advancements present a greater challenge than Russia.

“You have people who have been at the different intelligence agencies for so long and focused on the Russia threat — and, as you said, legitimately because [Vladimir] Putin is a bad guy and a regime with a huge nuclear stockpile that we need to talk about — but the Intelligence Community has been slow to adjust to the fact that China is the primary geopolitical threat we face,” Ratcliffe explained.

He cited the CCP’s influence in Washington, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood as factors that have hindered the U.S. response.

“From Washington, D.C., to Wall Street to Silicon Valley to Hollywood, there has been a desire to keep China from being labeled a bad guy because a lot of people make a lot of money from China and in China,” he said.

Ratcliffe also took aim at former CIA Director John Brennan, accusing him of steering the agency in the wrong direction during the Obama administration.

Ratcliffe’s goal, he said, is to return the CIA to its core mission of protecting U.S. national security and ensuring that intelligence is free from political interference.

As Ratcliffe takes the helm, he has signaled a commitment to tackling the major challenges posed by China, restoring accountability within the CIA, and ensuring that the agency is equipped to address the complex threats of the modern era.

Trump 2028?: GOP Lawmaker Proposes Constitutional Amendment for Potential Third Term

A Republican congressman has introduced a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that could pave the way for former President Donald Trump to potentially serve a third term in the White House.

Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN) announced the amendment, stating it would allow a two-term president to serve a third term if the terms were non-consecutive.

Ogles argued the change is necessary to ensure the country can benefit from what he called “bold leadership” during times of crisis.

“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years,” Ogles said in a statement on Thursday.

“He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal.”

The proposed amendment reads:

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

The amendment would create a legal framework to allow a president to serve a third term under certain conditions.

If passed, it would add to the historical precedent of non-consecutive presidencies, a distinction currently held only by President Grover Cleveland, who served as both the 22nd and 24th President of the United States.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, currently limits presidents to two terms.

This was established after Franklin Delano Roosevelt served an unprecedented four terms, setting a new precedent for presidential term limits.

While the proposed amendment aligns with Rep. Ogles’ vision for Trump’s leadership, Trump himself has often joked about the idea of a third term.

His remarks, frequently made in jest, have nonetheless drawn strong reactions from his critics.

One of Trump’s notable posts on his Truth Social platform included a meme depicting campaign signs for “Trump 2024, Trump 2028, Trump 2032,” eventually expanding into far-off centuries.

The post was widely circulated and sparked debate across political circles.

Following his victory in the 2024 election, Trump joked during a meeting with Republican lawmakers about the prospect of another term. “I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you do something,” he said. “Unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we have to just figure it out.’”

Republican lawmakers who attended the meeting clarified that the comments were made in jest.

“That was a joke. It was clearly a joke,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-OK). Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) reportedly echoed the sentiment, predicting media outlets would mischaracterize the president’s comments as serious.

Despite the proposed amendment and his occasional jokes, Trump has stated that he does not plan to pursue a third term.

“I wouldn’t be in favor of a challenge. Not for me. I wouldn’t be in favor of it at all,” Trump told Time magazine in a prior interview.

“I intend to serve four years and do a great job. And I want to bring our country back. I want to put it back on the right track.”

While the amendment faces significant legal and political hurdles, it underscores the continued influence of Trump’s presidency and the strong support he maintains among Republican lawmakers and voters.

Illegal Immigrants Linked to NFL Star’s Mansion Break-In 

Four illegal immigrants from Chile were arrested earlier this month for their suspected role in the December break-in at NFL star Joe Burrow’s Ohio mansion.

As reported by TMZ., the arrests, made on January 10, expose yet another troubling example of how unchecked illegal immigration allows international criminals to prey on law-abiding citizens.

Court documents reveal that during a traffic stop in Ohio, police discovered evidence tying the suspects to the December 9 burglary.

Among the items found were an LSU shirt and a Bengals ballcap believed to have been stolen from Burrow’s property.

Investigators also seized Husky automatic center punch tools, often used by the South American Theft Group to shatter glass and gain access to homes.

Cellphone data provided another smoking gun: one of the suspects’ devices was traced to Burrow’s residence during the burglary.

The four men—identified as Alexander Chavez, Bastian Morales, Jordan Sanchez, and Sergio Cabello—are either in the U.S. illegally or have overstayed their visas.

While none of them have been charged with burglary at this time, they face multiple felonies, including possession of criminal tools and participation in a criminal gang.

This is no isolated incident. Reports have highlighted how international theft rings take advantage of weak border enforcement and exploit America’s generosity to fund their criminal operations.

These four suspects are scheduled to appear in court today, where justice will hopefully be swift and firm.

Burrow, beloved by fans for leading the Cincinnati Bengals on and off the field, spoke briefly after the break-in. On December 11, he told reporters that he felt “violated” by the crime.

Olivia Ponton, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and friend of Burrow’s, reported the break-in to police but has declined to comment further.

This case serves as a wake-up call to secure our borders and protect American communities from international criminals. Americans deserve leaders who will prioritize law enforcement and prevent incidents like these from becoming the norm.

AOC Calls on Public to Disobey Trump’s Executive Orders: “Don’t Listen!”

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has called on her millions of followers not to take President Donald Trump‘s executive orders seriously, urging them to “not listen.”

Trump signed several executive orders, including ending DEI, fixing the border, and withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO).

However, AOC still wants a socialist America and called on people to ignore or disobey executive orders signed by the president.

“One of the most simple things that we can do is just not comply. This today, the Trump administration, and also last night, the Trump administration signed a bunch of illegal executive orders,” she said.

“For example, Donald Trump tried to sign an executive order to end birthright citizenship in this country, which is part of the Constitution.”

“It is, day one, already trying to shred the foundational documents of American society and try to end birthright citizenship, which basically, as we know, if you are born in the United States, you are a United States citizen,” AOC continued.

“That remains. That is the law. That is the Constitution. And he just tried to sign a piece of paper trying to say, no, we don’t have to listen to him. It’s illegal.”

“We don’t have to treat this seriously. It’s a joke.”

“And that’s not to say that what they’re trying to do isn’t serious. It is serious. But we should not consent in advance,” she concluded.

AOC’s remarks show she isn’t going to enjoy these next four years.

Last week, she also accused Trump of taking over every “mass social media platform in the United States.”

“So what does this mean for us?” she asked.

”Well, we are on the eve of an authoritarian administration,” she continued.

“This is what 21st-century fascism is starting to look like.”

Perhaps AOC needs to look up the definition of Fascism and censorship, especially since she has been calling to remove free speech from social media platforms for years.

Jimmy Fallon Visibly Stunned When Audience Cheers for Trump

Leftist late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon was thrown off guard when his audience, who usually panders to his anti-Trump rhetoric, cheered for the President’s return to the White House, creating a hilarious viral moment.

Fallon, who repeatedly attacked Trump during his first term, appeared on the show sporting a navy blue, full-brim hat with a white wrap, mirroring what First Lady Melania Trump did during the inauguration.

Fallon joked, “After this, we’re going to play ‘who wore it better’: me, Melania, or the Hamburglar.”

He then began by confirming that Trump had been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, a statement which was obviously crafted to ignite the boss from the audience.

However, the audience began applauding, leaving Fallon stunned.

“We’re all united, that’s great to know,” Fallon said, visibly uncomfortable.

While Fallon was left with little material to bash Trump following the election of Joe Biden in 2021, it now seems he has the opportunity to put his anti-Trump “comedy to work,” but times have changed.

“Trump made history in a lot of ways. Last night, he became the first convicted felon ever elected President,” said the late-night host the day after the election.

“Congrats. Trump could be the first president to be under White House arrest,” said the late-night host the day after the election.

“At age 78, Trump has also become the oldest man ever elected President, breaking a record set by President Biden in 2020. But it’s nice Biden will pass the torch and his Life Alert necklace,” said Fallon.

“America’s rolling the dice with a second Trump presidency,” he observed.

“It’s like we somehow survived the first ‘Squid Game’ and then signed back up for a second.”

In a more neutral stance, comedian Dave Chappelle used his monologue on “Saturday Night Live” to make a direct plea to Trump to represent “all” Americans and that “everyone” around the world is counting on him, “from Palisades to Palestine.”

Perhaps the sentiment of people across America who force the anti-Trump comedians such as Fallon to shift to actual comedy, not propaganda.

Two Illegal Immigrants Nabbed In “To Catch A Predator” Sting Operation

Two illegal immigrants from Honduras were arrested in a Genesee County child sex sting operation last week, according to Sheriff Chris Swanson. Swanson carried out the two-day operation with the help of the Genesee Human Oppression Strike Team (GHOST) and Chris Hansen, host of Dateline NBC’s iconic To Catch a Predator.

Over the two days, the GHOST team nabbed four men who attempted to meet up with the intention of exploiting a child, including two illegal immigrants from Honduras, one from Lapeer and another from Utica. Two of the suspects are married with children, including the suspect who chatted for five hours, whose wife is a teacher with a newborn at home. Another suspect was a 25-year-old student who shared specifics on how he wanted to exploit the decoy, WNEM reports.

The arrests are only the most recent in Michigan involving illegal immigrants and human trafficking, or sex crimes against children. A Chinese national was charged with multiple felonies earlier this month after a large-scale sting operation the month prior showed she helped operate human trafficking and commercial sex operations at illicit massage parlors in Wayne County. Huazi Piao, the 60-year-old woman from China, was among several non-citizens and illegal immigrants involved in what authorities alleged was one of Michigan’s largest sex trafficking rings.

The View’s Ana Navarro Calls Snoop Dogg a “Trained Seal” for Supporting Trump 

Ana Navarro, a co-host on The View, stirred controversy during a recent episode by criticizing black entertainers such as Snoop Dogg and Nelly for their participation in events associated with Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Navarro’s remarks, which included a comparison of Snoop Dogg to a “trained seal,” sparked backlash for their racially charged tone. The discussion unfolded as the panel addressed the involvement of several black performers in Trump’s inaugural festivities.

Co-host Sunny Hostin initiated the segment by highlighting criticism from CNN commentator Keith Boykin, who previously stated, “You dishonor [black] people when you go and perform for this man; this man who has done nothing but dishonor black people.”

Navarro expanded on the criticism, targeting entertainers who had opposed Trump in the past but later performed at his events.

“If you opposed and stood up against Trump in 2017, but you were there now, if you spoke up against Trump on January 7th, 2021, but you were there now applauding him like a trained seal, Donald Trump has not changed. You’ve changed,” she said.

Her comments referenced Snoop Dogg’s outspoken opposition to Trump during the 2017 inaugural period.

Navarro’s remarks drew attention not only for their content but also for the racial undertones of her comparison, with some questioning whether her language crossed a line.

Navarro’s remarks are part of broader criticism that has been directed at The View, which airs under the ABC News division.

Critics argue that the show often veers into politically divisive territory, with a tone that can alienate viewers.

The latest controversy raises questions about the program’s approach to political commentary and its potential impact on the network’s reputation.

The segment reflected ongoing tensions within the entertainment industry regarding political affiliations.

Performers who engage with conservative events or figures frequently face backlash, particularly when their actions are perceived as contradictory to past statements.

The discussion highlights a persistent divide in how entertainers’ political decisions are perceived and judged, particularly along racial and ideological lines.

For many conservatives, the criticism from Navarro and Hostin serves as another example of the double standards applied by prominent media figures.

As The View continues to generate headlines with its outspoken commentary, the network must navigate balancing provocative discussions with maintaining journalistic integrity under the ABC News umbrella.

Whether the controversy surrounding Navarro’s comments will have lasting repercussions remains to be seen.
