We have some good news and some bad news. 
We’ll get the bad news out of the way first: Yet another razor company has decided to embrace radical gender ideology and force so-called “gender-affirming care” down its consumers’ throats.
This time, it’s Braun — the Procter &amp; Gamble-owned razor company that was founded by Max Braun in 1921 and was characterized in part by its “progressive ideas,” according to its <a href="https://us.braun.com/en-us/About/Why-Braun" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. 
Oh, the company still has some “progressive” ideas, all right. 
Or perhaps the better word nowadays is “transgressive” — as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-rise-of-the-transgressives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained by Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro</a>. In the year 2023, Braun is endorsing the idea that women can become men, and that surgeries that remove body parts are something worth promoting.
On Wednesday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-razor-company-slammed-after-showcasing-trans-model-with-chest-scars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the U.K. branch of the grooming company has <a href="https://www.braunshop.co.uk/hybrid-trimmers.list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured</a> a woman identifying as a man to model the company’s Series X hybrid trimmers. The female model appears to have undergone a double mastectomy, a procedure frequently done when women who identify as men have their breasts removed to look less feminine.

Critics have been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-razor-company-slammed-after-showcasing-trans-model-with-chest-scars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outraged on social medi</a>a — and while the ad might be shocking, it isn&#8217;t necessarily surprising. 
P&amp;G has been known for pushing some not-so-PG-rated themes across its range of products. For example, Braun’s sister company Gillette released an ad in 2019 that features a father helping his child named “Samson” — a female “transitioning” into a male — shave for the first time.
The Gillette ad is replete with suggestions and language that the teenager featured is actually becoming a man. Except, “Samson” is a female.
Keep in mind, Gillette’s tagline is “The Best A Man Can Get.”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Dad helps transgender son shave face for first time in new Gillette ad" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AR-JkiNQ_Ro?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
P&amp;G’s wokeness doesn’t end there. 
As reported on Thursday, it’s awash in corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Last year, the company <a href="https://www.pg.co.uk/blogs/trans-day-of-visibility/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> a testimony from a male employee talking about the medical procedures he underwent to look more feminine. He spoke of going through facial electrolysis (a process to remove facial hair) and using bandages and “compression tops” to “bind” his newly feminized chest to hide his “transition.” Another brand <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/people-with-female-sex-organs-major-feminine-product-makers-latest-attack-on-girls-and-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">owned</a> by the company has referred to women as “people with female sex organs” in literature intended to guide teenagers through puberty.
So if the bad news is that one of the largest multinational consumer goods corporations in the entire world is hellbent on making its customers support these ideas that run contrary to conservative values, what is the good news?
Here it is: <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/all" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy’s</a> exists so you don’t have to give your money to companies that hate your values.

Disposing of certain body parts doesn’t change your gender, and any company that refutes the biological, spiritual, and physical differences certainly isn’t the best a man — or woman — can get.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is retiring from the news and entertainment conglomerate he began seven decades ago — serving now as chair of Fox Corporation and executive chairman of News Corp — and will become chairman emeritus of both companies.
Per <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/21/business/media/rupert-murdoch-fox-retire.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>, Rupert&#8217;s son Lachlan will soon be the sole executive of both Fox and News Corp. According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/rupert-murdoch-to-step-down-as-chair-of-fox-and-news-corp-after-seven-decade-career-a71da24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal,</a> which is part of Murdoch&#8217;s media empire, the 92-year-old will officially retire in November at the company&#8217;s annual meeting.
&#8220;For my entire professional life, I have been engaged daily with news and ideas, and that will not change. But the time is right for me to take on different roles,” Rupert Murdoch wrote in a memo to staff, The Journal reported.
“Our companies are in robust health, as am I,” Murdoch added. “Our opportunities far exceed our commercial challenges. We have every reason to be optimistic about the coming years.”
Murdoch started his business with an Australian newspaper, growing the company over the last 70 years to a business worth <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=news+corp+market+cap&amp;rlz=1C5GCEM_enUS998US998&amp;oq=news+corp+market&amp;aqs=chrome.0.0i512j69i57j0i512j0i22i30l2j0i15i22i30j0i22i30j46i10i22i30i199i465j0i22i30l2.2193j1j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than $11 billion</a>.
Lachlan also issued a statement, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/rupert-murdoch-announces-transition-new-role-chairman-emeritus-fox-news-corp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, &#8220;On behalf of the FOX and News Corp boards of directors, leadership teams, and all the shareholders who have benefited from his hard work, I congratulate my father on his remarkable 70-year career. We thank him for his vision, his pioneering spirit, his steadfast determination, and the enduring legacy he leaves to the companies he founded and countless people he has impacted. We are grateful that he will serve as Chairman Emeritus and know he will continue to provide valued counsel to both companies.&#8221;
In the elder Murdoch&#8217;s Thursday memo, he also warned about &#8220;elites&#8221; working in the news industry for unseemly goals.
“Elites have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class,” he said, according to The Jornal. &#8220;Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth.&#8221;
According to Forbes, Murdoch&#8217;s net worth is an estimated $17.3 billion.
Neither excessive pride nor false humility are admirable qualities,&#8221; the outgoing chairman added. &#8220;But I am truly proud of what we have achieved collectively through the decades, and I owe much to my colleagues, whose contributions to our success have sometimes been unseen outside the company but are deeply appreciated by me.&#8221;

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/volodymyr-zelensky" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Volodymyr Zelensky</a> must have an inkling that his unlimited check could soon be running out because the Ukrainian president is trying out a new sales pitch to world leaders: We need to defeat Russia, or evil dictators will &#8220;weaponize&#8221; the damaging effects of climate change.
Zelensky made his case in the form of a lecture on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly.
“Even though humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives, this means that extreme weather will still impact normal global life and some evil state will also weaponize its outcomes,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And when people in the streets of New York and other cities of the world went out on climate protest — we all have seen them — and when people in Morocco and Libya, and other countries die as a result of natural disasters, and when islands and countries disappear underwater, and when tornadoes and deserts are spreading into — into new territories, and when all of this is happening, one, a natural disaster in Moscow, decided to launch a big war and killed tens of thousands of people. We have to stop it.&#8221;
So it seems Zelensky is implying that Russian President Vladimir Putin took advantage of climate change — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/global-warming-is-out-global-boiling-is-in-united-nations-secretary-general-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">global boiling as the U.N. calls it</a> — to attack Ukraine.
&#8220;We must act, united to defeat the aggressor and focus all our capabilities and energy on addressing these challenges,&#8221; he added. &#8220;As nukes are restrained, likewise, the aggressor must be restrained at all his tools and methods of the war.&#8221;

It&#8217;s smart financially for Zelensky to signal that he&#8217;s down with the cause.
If he wants the free world to continue sending him billions of dollars to defeat Russia, he knows he has to express certain 21st-century doctrines of the West — such as believing in climate change.

It&#8217;s time for your daily dose of Bidenomics — where the rules are made up and the points don&#8217;t matter.
In today&#8217;s lesson, we&#8217;ll learn how the U.S. poverty rate increasing for the first time in more than a decade is actually a sign of a booming economy or something.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a whopping 12.4% of Americans lived in poverty in 2022. That&#8217;s up from 7.8% in 2021. In fact, it was the first increase in the U.S. poverty rate in 13 years.
That news comes as the Census also reported that the U.S. real median household income decreased by 2.3% to $74,580 in 2022. Meanwhile, year-over-year inflation rose 7.8%, <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/us-household-income-fell-2022-census-data-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per</a> Fox Business.
The Biden administration has long claimed that his policies are working and that his spending plans have juiced the American economy. Meanwhile, prices have increased <a href="https://x.com/TimMeadsUSA/status/1704138531386323270?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 17%</a> he took office.
In August, inflation continued to tick upward.
In a statement given to Townhall.com, Job Creators Network President and CEO Alfredo Ortiz said, &#8220;This accelerating inflation, which is nearly twice the Federal Reserve&#8217;s target rate, is another Bidenomics blow to ordinary Americans and small businesses dealing with rapidly rising prices that are lowering their real wages and living standards for two and a half years.&#8221;
Indeed, as <a href="https://rollcall.com/2023/08/02/voters-just-arent-buying-bidenomics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained recently</a> by David Winston, the president of The Winston Group and a GOP adviser, just about everything is more expensive than it was on the day Biden took office.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1694795611368000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1Bn_6SbXWWKvlIyIet4nSO">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Biden&#8217;s solution, Winston correctly points out,  has been &#8220;trying to dress up central planning as America First.&#8221;
The current president even tried to sell his economic agenda as &#8220;BABA&#8221;— Building a Better America. As previously discussed, BABA sounds similar to former President Donald Trump&#8217;s MAGA — Make America Great Again, but like most phony imitations, it has proven to be a crappy product that falls apart under the slightest bit of pressure.
BABA didn&#8217;t really click with the American people, so now he&#8217;s trying to sell his vision for the country as Bidenomics.
It&#8217;s been a great success for America, just ask him.
Whatever he calls it, the results are the same: The American people are worse off today than they were four years ago. The proof is in the pudding — that <a href="https://www.foodandwine.com/news/snack-prices-rising-2022-oreo-mondelez-kraft#:~:text=%22The%20products%20include%20varieties%20of,percent%2C%22%20CNN%20Business%20wrote." target="_blank" rel="noopener">now costs more money</a>, evidently.

Amidst duel crises of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/massachusetts-activates-the-national-guard-to-deal-with-influx-of-illegal-aliens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigration</a> and rising <a href="https://www.mass.gov/news/massachusetts-opioid-related-overdose-deaths-rose-25-percent-in-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drug overdoses</a>, Massachusetts Democratic Governor Maura Healey has decided to crack down on the real culprit of the Bay State&#8217;s problems: Single-use plastic bottles.
Monday morning, the governor announced at The Clinton Global Initiative in New York City that she will be banning state agencies from purchasing single-use plastic bottles because climate change demands it.
&#8220;We know that plastic waste, plastic production are among the leading threats to our oceans, our climate, and environmental justice. In government, we have an obligation — we also have an opportunity — to not only stop contributing to this damage but to chart a better path forward,&#8221; Healey <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/gov-healey-to-ban-all-state-agencies-from-purchasing-single-use-plastic-bottles/3138580/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
There are some buzzwords in that statement that should be broken down before moving on to a parting thought about Healey and her ilk&#8217;s &#8220;concern&#8221; about the planet.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-climate-endgame-a-50-trillion-bridge-to-racial-equity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously discussed</a>, climate or environmental &#8220;justice&#8221; can commonly be taken to mean the race-based redistribution of wealth. Indeed, just last month Healey announced millions in taxpayer funding toward green energy projects and jobs in &#8220;environmental justice&#8221; communities. What does that mean? Well, here are the criteria to <a href="https://www.mass.gov/info-details/environmental-justice-populations-in-massachusetts#what-is-an-environmental-justice-population?-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qualify</a> as an &#8220;EJ&#8221; in Massachusetts, per the state government:
<ol>
<li>the annual median household income is 65 percent or less of the statewide annual median household income</li>
<li>minorities make up 40 percent or more of the population</li>
<li>25 percent or more of households identify as speaking English less than &#8220;very well&#8221;</li>
<li>minorities make up 25 percent or more of the population and the annual median household income of the municipality in which the neighborhood is located does not exceed 150 percent of the statewide annual median household income</li>
</ol>
So, as readers can see, green energy funding is, to reiterate, often just a vehicle for the mass redistribution of wealth along racial and ethnic lines. It&#8217;s no different in the Bay State.
On Monday, Healey also told the crowd at CGI, &#8220;In our coastal state, we know climate change is our biggest threat. We also believe that taking action is our greatest opportunity, an opportunity to secure a safe, prosperous, and sustainable future.&#8221;
One has to wonder how many folks flew on private jets to that meeting in New York City. Something tells me that Healey won&#8217;t be banning state travel via gas-guzzling modes of transportation anytime soon. Nor does it seem that she offered her worldly peers any chastisement for their use of fossil fuels to gallivant around the globe.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says her city welcomes illegal aliens, yet she admits she is afraid they could be airlifted into her city by the planeload at any moment.
On Thursday, Bass — the mayor of a soon-to-be Sanctuary City —<a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/09/15/axios-events-karen-bass-los-angeles" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> stated</a>, &#8220;We live in a city that welcomes immigrants, and so I think we have been able to handle it, but I am fearful that any day, planes could start coming.&#8221;
Bass was referring to busloads and planes of illegal aliens sent by Governors Greg Abbott (R-TX) and Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to liberal cities and districts in recent years. What Bass, and other liberals, neglect is that the Biden administration has shipped illegal immigrants around the country as well via taxpayer-funded flights, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aircraft-records-reveal-secret-migrant-flights-across-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exposed</a> by The Daily Wire.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Bass&#8217; comments come weeks after she<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/la-mayor-illegal-aliens-arent-invited-to-our-soon-to-be-sanctuary-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> said</a>, “L.A. has not extended an invitation asking for people to come.&#8221; It should be noted that the Democratic mayor and other elected officials did indeed offer an inviting hand earlier this year when Abbott began sending illegal aliens to their city.
“Los Angeles is not a city motivated by hate or fear and we absolutely will not be swayed or moved by petty politicians playing with human lives,” Bass <a href="https://mayor.lacity.gov/news/mayor-bass-issues-statement-regarding-arrival-migrants-los-angeles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> after the first busload came to L.A. “We are a city that seeks to treat all people with dignity and compassion and we will continue to work closely with non-profit organizations, including the L.A. Welcomes Collective, as well as with our County, State, and Federal partners.”
On Thursday, the mayor claimed that the transportation of the foreign nationals was politically motivated.
&#8220;What they&#8217;re trying to do is destabilize cities,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s the narrative that these are Democratic-run cities and that we don&#8217;t know how to govern and that everything is chaotic here.&#8221;
Of course, conservative officials are sending illegal immigrants to these cities because they either declared themselves to be &#8220;sanctuaries&#8221; and/or overwhelmingly voted for President Joe Biden — whose policies have proven that the Left doesn&#8217;t &#8220;know how to govern and that everything is chaotic&#8221; at the border — to steal a phrase from the mayor. Democrat cities had already had the reputation of being a disorganized and dangerous mess long before Abbott ever started sending the buses.

The sad part is that if Bass truly wanted to stop this problem, she would convince the Biden administration to deport the illegal aliens, build a wall, and implement other security measures. Bass&#8217; party colleagues on the other side of the country have no interest in doing that.
Instead, the Left&#8217;s solution to this crisis is more federal funding and freebies offered. Now, it looks like their voters know that isn&#8217;t going to solve anything. On Friday, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) heard that message loud and clear as residents of the Big Apple shouted her and other New York City Democrats down.

As readers can hear, the voters&#8217; desire was loud and clear: Close the border, send them home. 
The mayor of Los Angeles needs to hear that message as well. But, the American people are all too wise to think that elected officials will actually listen and follow through on doing what&#8217;s necessary to secure the border.
And so, the protests will fall on deaf ears, the border will remain open, and it seems likely the buses and the planes will continue.
Bass and her ilk have nobody to blame but themselves — they voted for and continue to support the policies and politicians that created this situation in the first place.

Is Dove soaps trying to be the wokest brand of them all?
From pushing radical gender ideology onto kids, to throwing their weight behind an emerging field known as “fat liberation,” Dove — which is owned by the British-company Unilever — is making waves for all the wrong reasons.
For example, on Thursday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dove-partners-with-blm-activist-in-fat-liberation-campaign-activist-wrecked-white-student-with-uncorroborated-accusations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Dove has now teamed up with BLM activist Zyahna Bryant to advance “size freedom.” 
Bryant, some readers might remember, became infamous for effectively ruining a white girl’s life based on something Bryant later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-black-woman-accused-a-white-woman-of-threatening-protesters-thats-not-what-happened-report-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> she didn’t actually hear and the woman never actually said. 
Nowadays, she’s apparently such a hot commodity that international brands are dying to work with her to support certain causes. As explained by Bryant, she believes, “that we should be centering the voices and experiences of the most marginalized people and communities at all times.” 
If you don’t do that, presumably, then you’re discriminating against people of size like Bryant — which hampers their success, or something. 
And you thought you were just being sold a bar of soap!  
If you don’t want to buy all the woke the Left has to offer, purchase bars of soap from Jeremy’s instead. <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/hair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BUY HERE</a>. 
Jeremy’s wants to sell you woke-free products, but certain corporations want to sell you a crash course into the victimhood mentality that has consumed the Left. 
<div id="attachment_620973" style="width: 824px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-620973" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-620973" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/09/5.19.23JRsBodySoapBanner_DWshop-814x576.jpg" alt="" width="814" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/09/5.19.23JRsBodySoapBanner_DWshop-814x576.jpg 814w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/09/5.19.23JRsBodySoapBanner_DWshop-300x212.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/09/5.19.23JRsBodySoapBanner_DWshop-768x543.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/09/5.19.23JRsBodySoapBanner_DWshop.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px" />Jeremy&#8217;s</div>
That ideology is so pervasive that even buying soap has to be politicized. In fact, if you buy from brands like Dove, your money goes to support woke causes and <a href="https://www.flareproject.org/fellowship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partner with organizations</a> that support different forms of legislation. Dove proudly acknowledges this. 
“So when I think about what fat liberation looks like, to me, it looks like centering the voices and the experiences of those who live and who maneuver through spaces and institutions in a fat body,” Bryant explained in one video, while explaining that makes Dove a perfect partner in that fight. 
 Here’s who we’re dealing with, so readers can get a good sense of the gravity of the situation:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
What does any of that have to do with personal hygiene? Well, nothing. 
It has everything to do with Dove forcing its values onto you as a consumer.
Indeed, it’s not the first time that Dove has advocated far-Left ideas under the guise of “body positivity.” 
In June 2021, for example, Dove rolled out a new initiative called “<a href="https://assets.unileversolutions.com/v1/45523998.pdf?disposition=inline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Proud To Be Me</a>,” a “new body positivity tool for LGBTQ+ youth, brought to you by the <a href="https://www.dove.com/us/en/dove-self-esteem-project/self-esteem-resources-for-youth-groups/proud-to-be-me.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dove Self-Esteem Project</a>.”
“Let’s help the young people in our lives feel confident and proud of who they are,” Dove’s website confidently states.
That “tool” was targeted at kids between the ages of 11 &#8211; 14 and focused on LGBTQ acceptance. It encouraged individuals to host group conversations with children about sex-changes and sexual orientation.
In the FAQ portion of that document, “leaders” of such conversations were provided an answer to the question, “How do I facilitate the discussion around gender dysphoria and body change vs. acceptance?” 
“Leaders should speak to the fact that the way we choose to express ourselves in the world is a personal decision and there are many options for how people choose to do this,” the document said.
What sort of “options”? Oh, you know, just the life-altering ones with long-lasting and often irreversible consequences:
(&#8230;if someone is considering/has questions about body change, highlight that there are many options including choosing clothing that makes you feel good/comfortable, wearing clothing items like binders, etc. Other people may take hormones and others may choose to get some form of surgery.) (Emphasis added.)
Of course, one has to wonder how Dove can advocate “accepting” your whole body, while also letting minors know that castration and foregoing puberty might make them “proud”  — but that matters not to the woke.
What matters most to woke corporations is perpetuating the notion that power in society is built upon the oppressed vs. the oppressor.
So, in this case, it seems the message from Dove is that, if you’re fat, you will never find contentment unless society changes for you. Losing weight is not an option. Everybody else must change.
If you’re a child who thinks you should be in a different body — make it happen. Only those opposed to your well-being would discourage it, Dove seems to want consumers to believe.
Again, this is a soap company we’re talking about — not the Gender Studies Program at Oberlin College. 
Thankfully, you don’t have to give your money to companies like Dove anymore. You can buy from Jeremy’s Razors. Shampoo and conditioner, body wash, and body soap — all of which are free from parabens, sulfates, Made in the USA, and woke-free products. <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BUY HERE</a>. 
PS: If you buy <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$75 worth of ANY Jeremy’s products</a>, you’ll get a free bar of body soap.

According to first-hand accounts, President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> treated U.S. Gold Star families, whose loved ones passed away during the disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, with a remarkable lack of compassion — even for Biden. Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, honored those same families with the utmost respect and dignity on a recent night to remember.
Don&#8217;t take this author&#8217;s words for it, listen to the mothers and fathers of the brave American soldiers who died in 2021 after a bomb detonated at the Kabul airport, killing 13 of America&#8217;s bravest. Trump hosted relatives of those heroes at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey on August 31.
For example, per a <a href="https://thespectator.com/topic/gold-star-families-trump-bedminster-jake-tapper/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Spectator&#8217;s Matthew Foldi, Paula Knauss Selph — the mother of Army Staff Sergeant Ryan Knauss — was moved to tears as Trump wrote on her son&#8217;s photo, &#8220;You are My Hero.&#8221; Knauss Selph told Foldi that those are the exact same words she uses to describe her son.
Now, contrast that moment with Biden&#8217;s treatment of the anguished parent.
Knauss Selph, who now serves as the executive director of the Respect and Remember Foundation, met with Biden in the Oval Office at an event for Gold Star families in Washington, D.C., on Memorial Day 2022, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/afghanistan-gold-star-mom-i-wept-wanted-comfort-from-biden-he-suggested-a-photo-with-him-instead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously reported</a>.
At first, Biden said to her, “I can understand if you’re angry,&#8221; when they were face to face.
“I stood face-to-face with him, eyeball-to-eyeball. I began to weep,&#8221; she said, saying that she told him, “It should have never happened this way.”
“He stood there stoically,” she said of Biden. “Nothing out of his mouth except — well would you like to get a photo with me?&#8221;
Knauss Selph told Biden she would only agree to a photo if it was of her and the president at her son’s tombstone at Arlington National Cemetery.
He declined, claiming that the Secret Service would not let him do so.
After that experience, Knauss Selph blasted the current president, saying, &#8220;It’s a moral disgrace for a president not to have mercy on the people that he serves. It is a moral disgrace.&#8221;
She wasn&#8217;t alone in her sentiments toward the two presidents.
Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of the late Sergeant Nicole Gee, told Foldi, &#8220;Trump was way more than I expected.&#8221;
&#8220;The contrast is stark with the president we met at [Dover Air Force Base],&#8221; she added.
Recently, Shamblin testified before Congress, &#8220;The administration didn&#8217;t seem to know our story,&#8221; while adding that &#8220;when it came to the people in suits, it felt disingenuous and hollow.&#8221; 
Biden, readers will also remember, checked his watch repeatedly at Dover Air Force Base while there to welcome home to the 13 caskets of the deceased Americans.
That national embarrassment enraged the nation, but the families of those brave men and women were — understandably — particularly stung by the commander-in-chief&#8217;s lack of empathy.
“In reference to the checking of his watch, that didn’t happen just once,” Darin Hoover, who lost his son, Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gold-star-fathers-blast-biden-for-looking-at-watch-during-dignified-transfer-most-disrespectful-thing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in 2021. &#8220;That happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute, and he would look down at his watch on every last one – all 13 – he looked down at his watch.&#8221;
He added, &#8220;As a father, you know, seeing that and the disrespect, and hearing from his former leaders, one of his master sergeants said exactly what you just said, that this was avoidable, that they left them over there. They let them down, we can’t have that. It can’t happen ever again.&#8221;
Hoover also testified before Congress the same week after meeting Trump in late August.
&#8220;Between Congress and Trump, it turned into a really good week,” he told Foldi. “Lots of emotion and good times.”

Marlon Bateman, an executive advisor to the Utah attorney general, was also in attendance and provided more details as to what the night was like — again drawing a sharp distinction from Biden&#8217;s treatment of the families.
&#8220;We did not expect President Trump to join us, but to my surprise, he came up and joined us for dinner,&#8221; Bateman said. &#8220;Everyone erupted in cheers as he walked in. Lee Greenwood&#8217;s &#8216;God Bless The U.S.A&#8217; was blaring on the speakers. He proceeded to spend another couple of hours with us and even busted out an iPad to play songs for couples to slow dance to. He even went into his all-time favorite wrestling intros! At that moment I could see the anxiety, stress, and anger that these parents had carried for so long disappear from their faces. It was a moment of peace. They were there to celebrate the heroes they raised. Their babies grew up to be the best our country had to offer, and they were getting some of the recognition they deserved.&#8221;
Bateman added, &#8220;[Trump] did something for these families that the current administration has refused to do, and was incapable of doing — giving an overdue moment of recognition and solidarity for their children. Not a bullshit statement from the White House, not John Kirby sending his deepest condolences on CNN, not Joe Biden continually glancing at his watch while the bodies of their children were carried off the tarmac. He gave them hope that accountability and justice will be coming.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration recently released a report calling the withdrawal a &#8220;success&#8221; and Biden has said the withdrawal <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/08/14/1027696241/biden-said-the-u-s-withdrawal-from-afghanistan-would-be-safe-then-chaos-ensued" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was</a> &#8220;responsible, deliberate and safe.&#8221;
Of course, readers know the lapdog media will never cover this story — it paints too much of a black-and-white difference between Biden and Trump. Thank goodness for conservative press and social media to get the story out there.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-energy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Energy</a> wanted to showcase the benefits of electric vehicles with a little road trip recently, and as reported, it didn&#8217;t go so well. In fact, it turned into a comedy of errors that resulted in the police being called on Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm&#8217;s posse.
We now have that call.
As The Daily Wire&#8217;s Daniel Chaitin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/energy-secretarys-electric-vehicle-roadtrip-devolves-into-scene-out-of-veep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, Granholm and her entourage used a fleet of electric vehicles to journey from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Memphis, Tennessee, with town hall events along the way. <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/09/10/1187224861/electric-vehicles-evs-cars-chargers-charging-energy-secretary-jennifer-granholm">NPR’s Camila Domonoske</a> joined the crew and released her report about the experience on Sunday.
The purpose of the trip was to “draw attention to the billions of dollars the White House is pouring into green energy and clean cars,” but Domonoske, who joined the caravan for the ride, shared how the four-day venture was not a smooth ride all the way through, Chaitin added.
During the trip, the Energy Department staff had planned to quickly charge in their &#8220;caravan of EVs — including a luxury Cadillac Lyriq, a hefty Ford F-150, and an affordable Bolt electric utility vehicle&#8221; in Grovetown, Georgia. Yet, when they got there in advance of Granholm, they realized that there weren&#8217;t enough spots to go around.
So, they used a gas-powered vehicle to hog a space. One driver who was waiting to charge her EV was so annoyed by the move, that she called the cops.
&#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m calling because I&#8217;m in the Grovetown Walmart at the charging station, and there&#8217;s literally a non-electric car that is taking up the space, they said they&#8217;re holding the space for somebody else, and it&#8217;s holding up a whole bunch of people who need to charge their cars,&#8221; the caller said, according to a 911 tape obtained by The Washington Free Beacon.

Listeners can hear the annoyance in her voice.
&#8220;There&#8217;s other people who are waiting to charge, and they&#8217;re still here, and they&#8217;re not an electric car, and the sign says you can&#8217;t park here unless you&#8217;re charging,&#8221; she added. &#8220;They said that their person is going to be here in two minutes that they&#8217;re holding the spot for.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

It wound up exposing that the cars are a real pain in the keister — as are the &#8220;public servants&#8221; working in the Biden administration.

That a certain bias exists in mainstream media and amongst the American elite is not a new revelation. Determining how that warped worldview presents itself in the coverage of particular stories requires one to do their own research. That can be arduous, but it helps to understand that bias can be boiled down to two categories: deception and omission. 
The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens found both at work in one of the most popular documentaries of the past decade, Netflix’s “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-AsOYOaX3c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Making a Murderer</a>.” In her new, investigative documentary “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/convicting-a-murderer#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Convicting a Murderer,</a>” Owens exposes heavy doses of both deception and omission.
If you were to ask the “MAM” creators and co-directors, Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi, the documentary was a smashing success. In 2016, the pair claimed they “achieved the goals we set out, we wanted to achieve and we think that this is a social justice documentary, we think it adds value to society, we&#8217;ve always hoped it would always promote a dialogue about the criminal justice system.” 
But that wasn’t their only intention with the documentary about Steven Avery, a man who was wrongfully convicted of rape, only to be charged with murder by the same justice system that imprisoned him years before. 
<h4><a href="https://twitter.com/i/events/1694826382272942081" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: &#8220;Convicting a Murderer&#8221; for FREE for a limited time on X</a>.</h4>
In 2018, Demos and Ricciardi were <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2tP8ZPvsGQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a>, “Do you think about it as a documentary and put things in front of people with no fingerprints of your own on it or a storytelling exercise in which you are advocating for an argument?” 
Demos responded, “I think the answer may be neither … because you know documentary is not journalism, it is an art form, and this is a narrative documentary, so we had chosen Steven Avery as our main character and we had chosen him because of his incredible unique status, as someone who had been failed by the system in the mid-80s and was stepping back into it.” 
Well, if the documentary is supposed to be art that forms an impression-making narrative, perhaps we should look at it through the lens of French impressionist painter Edward Degas.
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see,” Degas once said.
And as exposed by Owens, Demos and Ricciardi made others see Avery in as sympathetic a light as possible and the justice system the polar opposite way. 
In a recent interview with Owens, Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href="https://twitter.com/BenShapiroShow/status/1699829795838718210?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a>, “In your series ‘Convicting A Murderer’&#8230; there’s a lot in there that people just don’t know that was directly overlooked or actually doctored…Can you give us just a taste of sort of the stuff that either wasn&#8217;t presented to the public in ‘Making a Murderer’ or was actively changed?”
Owens responded, “So I think one of the things that they were really brilliant at, these documentary makers, was deceptive editing.”
Owens continued, “If they&#8217;re showing you parts of the court testimony, you&#8217;re thinking that you&#8217;re watching a person respond…There&#8217;s a moment where they&#8217;re sitting in the courtroom, and the police officer gets asked a question, and they show you that he gets sort of tight and it looks like he&#8217;s lying. Right, so you have all these commentators like, ‘Well you see his reaction when he was asked that question.’ Well, in reality, that wasn&#8217;t even his response to that particular question. They just used him sitting up at a different moment and put it next to a question that he was asked at a different time.”
Owens went on to explain that “these deceptive editing tricks” are used to “heavily suggest that people were either innocent or people were guilty.”

The best-selling author added that the most fascinating parts of this documentary will be found by those viewers who are willing to “have the humility to explore how perhaps they were duped.”
To that extent, perhaps a little dose of “humility” is exactly what Demos and Ricciardi initially needed when originally criticized for leaving certain parts out of the documentary.
In one January 2016 interview, Ricciardi defended her “art” against accusations of selective editing from government officials as well as critics. 
“I don’t really know how anyone is in a position to judge our process,” Ricciardi said. “We spent 10 years, collectively 20 years making this documentary. I guarantee you we read all of the primary course materials we could get our hands on, for a multitude of matters…so just because the prosecutor now comes forward after declining several interview requests by us and attacks us, and understands the power of accusation, doesn&#8217;t mean there is any veracity to what he is saying or that anyone should give any weight to what he is saying.”

But perhaps, that protestation was a sign of a blind arrogance to their own biases — not necessarily a confident defense of their documentary. 
Indeed, in that same interview, the two filmmakers told the host that they were “open-minded when we started, and if anything, we are even more open-minded now” about what exactly happened in Avery’s case and whether the justice system was working the way it should have.
Yet roughly a week later, the two told TV host Stephen Colbert their true feelings about the case. 
“My personal opinion is the state did not meet its burden in Steven or Brendan’s case,” Ricciardi said, before saying she believes he is “not guilty.”
Demos then agreed with her, while adding, “Is he guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? Nothing I have seen, and I’ve seen a lot of stuff, nothing has convinced me of that.”
The pair&#8217;s statements directly contradict their claim that they walked away with an “open mind.” That right there calls into question their insistence that “Making a Murderer” is a fair and accurate presentation sans any personal opinions or ulterior motives.
Of course, the only way to find answers to such questions is by doing one&#8217;s own research. Don’t take this author’s word that “MAM” was deceptively edited; do your own research on the topic. It’s the only way to truly form your own conclusion and avoid being misled.

On Wednesday, a federal judge essentially ordered the state of Texas to weaken its security along the U.S.-Mexican border, per President Joe Biden&#8217;s Department of Justice&#8217;s request.
Senior U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra ordered Texas officials to remove floating barriers in the Rio Grande that Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-begins-installing-barrier-on-rio-grande-river-to-stop-illegals-from-crossing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">installed</a> to slow down the deluge of illegal aliens flooding the country under Biden. The federal government sued the state. The feds argued that the gigantic buoys blocked waterway navigability in violation of U.S. law, and were placed in the river without permission. Ezra agreed with that assessment and said that Texas&#8217; claim of an &#8220;invasion&#8221; was irrelevant.
“The Court has found that the United States is likely to succeed on the merits of its claim that Defendants have violated [the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899],&#8221; Ezra wrote, <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2023/09/06/judge-orders-texas-to-remove-border-buoys-from-rio-grande-rejects-abbott-invasion-claim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Dallas Morning News. “The Court also finds that Texas’s conduct irreparably harms the public safety, navigation, and the operations of federal agency officials in and around the Rio Grande.”
The Abbott administration had previously argued that the Rivers and Harbors Act shouldn&#8217;t apply because that particular part of the Rio Grande is too shallow for boats and other vessels to navigate.
In response to Wednesday&#8217;s ruling, the Texas governor pledged to fight it.
”This ruling is incorrect and will be overturned on appeal,” Abbott <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-border-barriers-buoys-removed-federal-judge-biden-administration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “We will continue to utilize every strategy to secure the border, including deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers and installing strategic barriers.&#8221;
Abbott isn&#8217;t just facing pushback from his own government for these barriers. Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador condemned Abbott for his actions.
&#8220;No one should be treated like this,&#8221; Lopez Obrador <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/03/americas/mexico-amlo-texas-inhumane-intl-latam/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last month. &#8220;That kind of treatment does not come from a good person; only by being good can we be happy.&#8221;
Maybe Lopez Obrador should recognize that no nation should be treated the way the Biden administration and Mexico treat America. A country can&#8217;t survive without a strong border, and Biden&#8217;s entire administration seems intent on keeping it as wide open as possible.
Of course, the real solution to this madness will be to deport the millions upon millions of illegal aliens who currently reside in the country — and then build the wall while propping up more barriers like Abbott has done.  That will never happen under a Democratic president.
For now, one has to wonder why the Biden administration didn&#8217;t simply give Texas approval to install these features post hoc. It&#8217;s not that much of a mystery actually. It seems obvious it&#8217;s because the Biden team has no desire to protect American sovereignty. They have effectively abdicated duty entirely.
Abbott also promised to build more guardrails and to defend Texas&#8217; land.
&#8220;We will continue to utilize every strategy to secure the border, including deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers and installing strategic barriers,&#8221; Abbott <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/office-of-the-governor-statement-on-ruling-on-texas-border-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Wednesday. &#8220;Our battle to defend Texas’ sovereign authority to protect lives from the chaos caused by President Biden’s open border policies has only begun. Texas is prepared to take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.&#8221;
Maybe once Biden and his bipartisan gang stop shelling out billions for Ukraine borders, they will focus on America&#8217;s border.
Until then, hats off to Abbott for the creative solutions and cojones to fight in court.

On Tuesday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia&#8217;s</a> Attorney General Chris Carr announced the indictment of 61 alleged &#8220;militant anarchists&#8221; under Georgia&#8217;s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. That indictment was handed down last week by the same Fulton County Grand Jury that indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants on RICO charges.
The charges stem from alleged radical actions taken by anti-police actors connected with the &#8220;Stop Cop City&#8221; movement that occurred between 2020 and 2022, according to Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr. As The Daily Wire previously reported, far-Left environmental protesters coalesced in response to the 2021 announcement of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center — a first responder and police training facility that received millions in taxpayer funding and is being built on nearly 400 acres of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/5-left-wing-protesters-targeting-planned-georgia-police-center-charged-with-domestic-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weelaunee Forest</a>. Since then, individuals connected to the &#8220;Stop Cop City&#8221; movement have been accused of participating in riots, vandalizing cop cars, and committing unruly actions as part of their opposition to the training facility.
According to Carr, these individuals have been conspiring to commit violence in the pursuit of anarchy since the summer of 2020, following the death of George Floyd. Yet, he said these alleged &#8220;anti-government anarchists in Atlanta recognized an opportunity to rally against law enforcement&#8221; and changed course following the 2021 announcement of the police training facility. Most of those charged in the indictment are from out of state.

A similar chaotic event broke out in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/5-left-wing-protesters-targeting-planned-georgia-police-center-charged-with-domestic-terrorism">December 2022</a>. Officials at the time pleaded with opponents of the plan to use legal recourse.

“The discourse of opposition is in city halls, it is in the public square, it is on the sidewalks. That is where you note your displeasure or your disagreement,” Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said at the time. “It is not in Molotov cocktails. It is not in shooting fireworks at firefighters. … It is not throwing rocks at our squad cars. That is criminal activity. The reason that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the FBI are investigating this is because this isn’t a protest. This is terrorism.”
In January 2022, black-clad protesters also torched vehicles and vandalized buildings after an anti-police activist was <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/atlanta-riots-timeline-stop-cop-city-movement-apd-training-facility">killed</a> by authorities.
In response to last week&#8217;s indictment, the Cop City Vote Coalition released a statement accusing Carr of assaulting &#8220;the broader movement for racial justice and equity.&#8221;
&#8220;Carr’s actions are a part of a retaliatory pattern of prosecutions against organizers nationwide that attack the right to protest and freedom of speech,&#8221; the group <a href="https://capitol-beat.org/2023/09/protesters-of-atlantas-cop-city-training-center-indicted-on-rico-charges/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CCarr's%20actions%20are%20part%20of,or%20the%20attorney%20general's%20office.%E2%80%9D">said</a>.
&#8220;The Cop City Vote coalition strongly condemns these anti-democratic charges,&#8221; the Cop City Vote Coalition added. &#8220;We will not be intimidated by power-hungry strongmen, whether in City Hall or the Attorney General’s office. Chris Carr may try to use his prosecutors and power to build his gubernatorial campaign and silence free speech, but his threats will not silence our commitment to standing up for our future, our community, and our city.&#8221;
After Carr&#8217;s announcement, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that &#8220;the same Fulton County grand jury that handed up indictments against Trump and his codefendants also handed up these indictments involving the efforts by activists to block the Atlanta public safety center.&#8221;
