Trump sells Bibles while pretending to be religious in video gone wrong
Donald Trump's latest endeavor involves selling Bibles in what seems like a desperate attempt to appeal to his religious supporters. Trump's promotion of the "God Bless the USA Bible" came with a scripted message urging Americans to purchase it for spiritual enlightenment and patriotism. Partnering with singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood, Trump touts the Bible's inclusion of American founding documents and urges people to reclaim Christianity, portraying it as crucial for national greatness. Despite the religious overtones, Trump's venture is a transparent ploy to raise money for his presidential campaign. The move is emblematic of Trump's desperation to raise money and capitalize on his gullible supporters.
SHE'S DONE: NBC FIRES Ronna McDaniel after on-air revolt
NBC swiftly cut ties with former RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel after facing intense backlash from both its on-air staff and audience over the decision to hire her as a paid contributor. The reversal came amid concerns about McDaniel's involvement in attempts to undermine democratic institutions by supporting baseless claims of election fraud and reluctance to acknowledge Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. On-air talent at NBC and MSNBC expressed discomfort with McDaniel's hiring, emphasizing that it contradicted the network's journalistic integrity and posed a threat to democracy. While some speculated that NBC's decision was influenced by external pressure, many saw it as a necessary step to uphold ethical standards and avoid normalizing anti-democratic behavior. The swift reversal underscored the importance of maintaining journalistic credibility and ethical standards in the face of public scrutiny.

IT'S HAPPENING: Trump's first felony trial about to start
Donald Trump's first felony trial is set to commence on April 15th, marking the beginning of a legal battle amid his bid for the presidency. The trial, focused on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, is expected to last six weeks, extending into June. Trump and his legal team sought to delay the trial, alleging election interference, but their efforts were rebuffed by Judge Juan Merchan. The trial, while not televised, is anticipated to be a significant event, with a great deal of media coverage. Despite Trump's attempts to postpone proceedings, the judge's decision stands, signaling the start of what promises to be a tumultuous period of both electioneering and legal scrutiny. Amid uncertainties surrounding potential delays and Trump's strategies, the trial's commencement on April 15th marks a pivotal moment, with major implications for Trump's political aspirations and legal accountability.

Fox hosts STUNNED that other networks have standards
Fox News anchors were taken aback by NBC and MSNBC's journalists' public criticism of Ronna McDaniel's hiring. McDaniel joined NBC shortly after exiting her role as the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee. Chuck Todd, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and others voiced objections to her employment due to credibility concerns over her lies about the 2020 presidential election. Fox News commentators expressed disbelief at the apparent insubordination, emphasizing the importance of adhering to employer expectations. They treated it as if it was a moral affront to choose journalistic principles over the wishes of the executives at the company they work for. The situation raises questions about journalistic ethics and ideological rigidity, with Fox News commentators speculating on potential repercussions for those expressing dissent within NBC.
