President Donald Trump ushered in Christmas Eve by bashing Democrats and complaining about the impeachment process.
The Commander-in-Tweet posted a series of tweets Tuesday morning about the economy, the “radical left,” and Democratic leaders.
“Everything we’re seeing from Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer suggests that they’re in real doubt about the evidence they’ve brought forth so far not being good enough, and are very, very urgently seeking a way to find some more evidence,” Trump began.
“The only way to make this work is to… mount some kind of public pressure to demand witnesses, but McConnell has the votes and he can run this trial anyway he wants to,” he added.
Later, Trump took time out of his winter break in South Florida to tout the Usmca Trade Deal, and to praise Fox News personality Griff Jenkins for saying the president’s policies have “put our economy...

President Donald Trump’s propaganda media arm, Fox News, reveled in the president’s racist tweet that told “Progressive Democrat Congresswomen” to “go back” to the “crime infested places from which they came.” It’s yet another clearly racist remark from our vile racist-in-chief, this time aimed at Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-ny), Rashida Tlaib (D-mi), Ayanna Pressley (D-ma) and Ilhan Omar (D-mn). Because, according to Trump, you’re not American if you’re not white.

No big surprise here, but Fox News will wrap up 2018 with an exclusive interview with Potus Donald Trump.
It will air as part of Fox News Channel’s All-American New Year, co-hosted by Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery and Pete Hegseth tonight live from Times Square in New York City. According to Fnc, Trump will discuss the government shutdown and reveal his New Year’s resolutions for 2019, with what he hopes to accomplish in the coming year.
Fnc’s Griff Jenkins and Carley Shimkus will kick off the festivities at 8 Pm Et with a two-hour special, Countdown to All-American New Year before Kennedy and Hegseth take over at 10 Pm Et.
The exact time of the interview is not known, but it’s a pretty good guess, given Trump’s latest overnight tweetstorm, where his focus will be, again blaming Democrats for the continuing stalemate.

In the run-up to the 2018 midterm elections, news of a migrant caravan moving through Mexico toward the United States dominated the airwaves. As President Trump regularly thundered about the threat, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC dedicated extensive resources to the story.
After the elections, however, interest in the caravan fell sharply at all three networks, according to data provided to TheWrap by the video monitoring service Grabien. While Fox News had the most caravan coverage the week before Election Day, CNN and MSNBC shared President Trump’s fixation on the migrants moving very slowly north.
From Oct. 30 to Nov. 5, the seven days immediately preceding election day, Grabien data found the word “caravan” was spoken 1,202 times on Fox News, 834 times on CNN and 586 times on MSNBC.
From Nov. 7 to to Nov. 13, the seven days immediately after the election, Fox News mentioned the word “caravan” just 203 times – an 83 percent drop in references – CNN 75 times and MSNBC 110 times.

Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins may have successfully foiled a group of migrants from Honduras trying to gain illegal entry into the United States.
“You can see they’ve got a family in a raft,” Jenkins whispered into the camera as he observed the scene from afar while hidden in the bushes across a waterway. “What we’re witnessing now is clearly a family that was being brought over.”
“This is an attempt to illegally cross and they’ve gone back over there,” Jenkins continued, in a segment that aired Tuesday on Fox News. “We seem to have successfully foiled this attempt.”

It started as just a minor "gotcha" moment--a YouTube clip of an Occupy Wall Street protester criticizing Fox News coverage of the movement to Griff Jenkins popped up on the Internet, as these things tend to do. It was later discovered that the protester was Jesse Lagreca, a Daily Kos blogger. On Sunday, Lagreca appeared on ABC's This Week to talk about the protests, and--agree with his point of view or not--he came across as well-spoken, smart, and level-headed.

As the Occupy Wall Street movement spawns more copycat demonstrations across the country, the group’s media team has leaked a video of a testy exchange between a Fox News producer and one of the protesters. During the interview, protestor Jessie Lagreca tells producer Griff Jenkins that it has been hard to decry greed, inequality and corruption given the propaganda machine the media has become, especially with a “conservative-leaning organization” like Fox. He then gets in some jabs at Fox News chief Roger Ailes and company whenever he can. Despite questions more focused on...

The New York Observer's Drew Grant (formerly of Mediaite) is reporting on a YouTube clip that shows an Occupy Wall Street protester peppering Fox News' Griff Jenkins with criticism of the network, in an interview that was never aired. Why the clip didn't air is the subject of some speculation, but according to Greta Van Susteren, the simplest explanation is the right one.

Greta Van Susteren is concerned about Wisconsin's fourteen missing state senators-- Democrats who, in order to delay the passing of a budget-cutting bill, have fled the state. But fear not, for she sent Fox News' ambush reporter par excellence Griff Jenkins to play Carmen Sandiego with the missing Wisconsin state senators and he is, as she states, "hot on the trail."...

Last month on Late Show with David Letterman, as she’s done on her own MSNBC show, Rachel Maddow made the point that there will always be fear mongers — like the Fox News Channel, she said — who, in her words, want white voters to be afraid of “scary black people” so they’ll vote conservative. What can change, she insisted, is how other media outlets and viewers themselves react to the stories they spin. Instead of going along with the snap judgment on the edited Shirley Sherrod video (which, to be fair, not all Fox News personalities did), CNN spent the day debunking it,...

Here's something you won't see every day: A man declaring himself an avowed socialist and calling for revolution, a la Latin America, after calling for a revolt against "racist white people"-- on Fox News. The man is Santee High School teacher Ron Gochez, and he is an Arizona schoolteacher accused of inciting armed rebellion. As a response to the bad press, Fox News' Griff Jenkins gave him an extensive interview to clear up his name and ideology.
