PBS, NPR push liberal propaganda. Trump is right to cut their funding
NPR and PBS were once one-stop shops for news and wholesome programs for families. The kids could watch “Sesame Street” while their parents listened to “All Things Considered.”
But now NPR and, to a lesser extent, PBS have become a cesspool of liberal bias that taxpayers have been forced to fund.
From my perspective, President Donald Trump can’t cut funding for these two liberal fortresses fast enough. Does that make me heartless or financially prudent? I say the latter.
At Trump’s behest, the Senate voted July 17 to cut $9 billion in federal funds from public broadcasting and foreign aid programs. House Republicans are expected to concur and send the legislation to Trump for his signature.
The executives who run NPR say that the public broadcaster gets only 1% of its funding directly from the federal government and member stations receive around 10% of their budgets from Washington.
Yet, the progressives who love PBS and NPR can’t stop screaming that the budget cuts will mean the end of public broadcasting as we know it.
To which I say: Now, tell me the bad news.

Why Alberta Should Separate From Canada And Why All Canadians Should Support Separation

Unlike emotional appeals, the case for Alberta sovereignty centers on practical benefits: more control over its wealth and resources, fairer representation, and governance tailored to local needs. Below, we outline key reasons a go-it-alone Alberta could thrive, and why a weaker Ottawa might even be a net positive given the inefficiencies of centralized power.
