JUST SAYING: Extortion Under the Guise of Journalism

The president is eyeing a much higher figure, according to The Wall Street Journal.

JUST SAYING

The real story here is the pattern of DOJ prosecutors filing frivolous, politically-driven lawsuits—only to have judges, whether appointed by Democrats or Republicans, toss them out like junk mail.

It’s not just bad lawyering—it’s a blatant violation of the American Bar Association’s Rules of Professional Conduct, all done to appease a man who is clearly unfit to lead.

You’d think Pam Bondi and the Trump crew are staffing up with fresh law grads they found chasing ambulances or handing out business cards in Traffic Court.

JUST SAYING

This isn’t journalism—it’s extortion. And corporations that prioritize profits and ratings over truth and integrity will pay the price.

Law firms are already learning the cost, watching seasoned professionals head for the exits as reputational damage piles up.

The Washington Post reportedly lost 200,000 subscribers after refusing to endorse Harris—only to have its owner Jeff Bezos pop up later at Mar-a-Lago, sending a clear signal about which way the wind is blowing.

It will take years to restore the newspaper’s credibility and trust. They lost many experienced reporters.

Meanwhile, sane Americans are beyond fed up with this corrupt con man and his nest of Trump vipers, looting the country for personal gain while pretending to serve the public.

Let’s hope investigators pull back the curtain on how CBS allegedly bought its way into acquiring Paramount—and that everyone involved is held accountable, including Trump’s FCC director.
