This meme of mine states this blogger's (Diane Sori) opinion as to why I believe it is wrong for Trump to "vow" any such thing. "One nation under God" is one thing,
but singling out one specific religion for what would be a "special proclamation"
is indeed quite another thing.
Agree or disagree with me as you will, as is your right, but I hope you understand just how serious of a breech this would be to our nation's founding principals.

...The fix was in, and FOX might as well now officially call itself “Trump Central” as their once “Fair and Balanced”
moniker is one for the media history books as their sole driving
force seems to be to dominate the entire media discourse by any and
all means possible. And last Monday night's actions has led me to
believe that FOX is...to some degree...guilty of overt
“election interference” and maybe even “election
suppression” by their...and the other networks...calling the
election caucus way too early not to have swayed votes.
And while some will say it would not have changed the final
outcome in favor of Trump, it indeed did. How so? While Trump might
still have been the winner, he might not have reached the
all-important 50% thresh hold which would have allowed the other
candidates to be awarded more delegates and Trump less delegates...a
key factor numbers wise in regards to the nominating convention.
So now FOX joins the collective of what I consider to be the media
being the one who actually does choose our candidates and nominees for
us...with no vacillation or disagreement allowed as to their discourse...Read entire article and see video here.

Op-ed:
The Media...An Enemy Within
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right
Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily
represent the views of blogspot.comnor Google.
Author's Note: This article was written before my chosen candidate Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race. The media's unceasing push for Trump and the Iowa Caucus going forward when it should have been delayed due to the weather...only 18.5% of the those eligible to vote where able to vote...set the stage for what was to follow.
“Absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in
election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of
Iowans even had a chance to vote.” ”The media is in
the tank for Trump and this is the most egregious example yet.”
- DeSantis spokesperson Andrew Romeo
After last Monday's Iowa Caucus...believed by many to be a
“bellwether” for who will go on to become the presidential
candidate for each party....I am more convinced than ever that the
media... both mainstream and otherwise...are truly an “enemy
within.” Why
so...because while said caucus had basically just started, The
Associated Press declared a Trump victory at 7:31p.m. local time...a
mere 31-minutes into the caucus...with only eight of 99 Iowa counties
having reporting their results. And FOX immediately took their cue
from the AP as did other media outlets, thus basing their winning
call on but a mere 1,000 votes tallied in two or three precincts in a
rural area of Iowa...which equated to less than one percent of the
total votes yet to be counted.
Simply,
FOX was the first to officially declare Donald
Trump the Iowa Caucus winner...as they so hoped he'd be. After all Trump
is the very man FOX...and most especially Sean Hannity...has been
pushing down viewers throats for
months. And they did so no matter their standing,
in-place policy not to call any election until all the polls are
closed.
Guess FOX was too greedy to pass up a ratings bonanza, hence
bottom line monetary profits, not to do so. A ratings bonanza that in
actuality equated to a stab in the back for the other four candidates
and most especially for Iowa caucus goers themselves. How so? This
announcement by FOX was heard in the precincts where caucusing was
still ongoing with many folks still undecided and not yet having cast
their vote, along with votes already cast but yet to be counted
across the entirety of the state.
The fix was in, and FOX might as well now officially call itself “Trump Central” as their once “Fair and Balanced”
moniker is one for the media history books as their sole driving
force seems to be to dominate the entire media discourse by any and
all means possible. And last Monday night's actions has led me to
believe that FOX is...to some degree...guilty of overt
“election interference” and maybe even “election
suppression” by their...and the other networks...calling the
election caucus way too early not to have swayed votes.
And while some will say it would not have changed the final
outcome in favor of Trump, it indeed did. How so? While Trump might
still have been the winner, he might not have reached the
all-important 50% thresh hold which would have allowed the other
candidates to be awarded more delegates and Trump less delegates...a
key factor numbers wise in regards to the nominating convention.
So now FOX joins the collective of what I consider to be the media
being the one who actually does choose our candidates and nominees for
us...with no vacillation or disagreement allowed as to their discourse. No
wonder a recent Hill-Harris poll found that 33% of Americans deem the
media to be an “enemy of the people”...no wonder the
DeSantis campaign has called FOX News to task.
And while my chosen candidate Ron DeSantis did finish in second
place garnering nine Iowa delegates as opposed to Trump's 20; with
Nikki Haley garnering eight; Vivek Ramaswarmy getting three, and Assa
Hutchinson with no delegates allotted...this early call by FOX and
the others was not only unfair to all the candidates, but now the
Democrats are truly on their way to seeing a Trump/Biden rematch...s
something the majority of Americans still do not want to see
happening.
Why so...because most know well that the Democrats have had eight
years to fine tune their infamous “election irregularities”...to
put what amounts to “election fraud” in more politically
acceptable terms.
Another key component regarding the unfairness of Monday's caucus
itself, is the fact that Paul D. Pate...Iowa's Secretary of State and
also the State Commissioner of Elections...who, while this is not an
accusation by any means, was supported
by Trump in his run for Secretary of State...knew days ahead of
time...as did we all...what the severity of the weather on caucus
night would be. In fact, the weather was so bad Monday night that not
only did it break a two-decades-long low regarding frigid weather,
but saw minus 40-degree wind chills and roads encased in ice and snow
being what forced the majority of caucus goers to stay home...and
rightly so in such dangerous conditions.
Simply, Pate should have put the “health,
safety, and welfare” of Iowans first by postponing the
caucus, by at least a few days, until the system moved eastward and
away from Iowa, which would have allowed for what he had to know
would be a more representational vote tally across the state.
But sadly,
thanks to the weather, truly representational the caucus numbers were
not. And this can be seen in the actual tallies and corresponding
facts as they pertain to the how and why this worked out in Trump's
favor. First the numbers. Fact number I: Iowa has 594,533 registered
Republican voters of which only 110,298 of said voters showed up to
caucus due to the inclement weather. Fact 2: This translated into
only 18.5 percent of all those who could caucus actually caucusing
then voting, meaning 81.5 percent of Iowans were not...I repeat
not...able to caucus and vote, again because of the weather. Fact 3:
this most important of caucuses not only saw the lowest number of
voter turnout since 2000...a year when only 86,000 Iowa Republicans
were able to cast their ballots due to temperatures reaching but 5
degrees...a warm streak compared to last Monday night...but sadly was
decided by less than 20 percent of all Republicans who were eligible
to vote.
And now the media is on a Trump roll...for the liberal media it
means counting on Trump losing to Biden...while the conservative,
right-leaning media claims that Iowa is the start of a “domino
affect” for Trump, something they claim will be akin to Ronald
Reagan's landslide victory over Jimmy Carter in 1980. This was when
Reagan garnered 489 Electoral College votes along with 50.8% of the popular
vote as opposed to Carter's 41.0% of the popular vote and carrying
just six states and Washington, D.C.
But
even primary/caucus wins come replete with certain caveats,
one being that while Donald Trump...who is no Reagan...even the MAGA
slogan is not his...won the 2020 Iowa
Republican caucus, he did not win the general election. In fact, Iowa
has not determined the outcome of the actual presidential election
correctly but two times in the past six elections...not a great
record I'd say. And yet the media...especially FOX News...as I write
this...heralds this one caucus win that due to the weathers low voter
turnout does not
truly represent the whole of Iowa's Republican voters...yet they shove
Trump news down our throats in almost every news block.
And with reporting like that both Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley
have basically been deemed by FOX “talking heads” to be
losers months before the nominating convention has even taken place,
let alone all the primaries. And it's my opinion that this type of
reporting is indeed a form of “election interference” for
it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth that there's now no reason to go
vote...no reason because a once trusted news source has already
declared Trump the winner.
And the gullible and lazy amongst the uniformed and misinformed
Republican masses will fall into line and do as FOX is basically,
albeit veiled, telling them to do...as in only vote Trump...no matter this truly not funny under the dangerous weather conditions comment Trump made before the caucus started.
But it's not just the media “talking heads” that are
the problem, but so too are some of the print reporters. Take the
case of an article that appeared in last Thursday's “Townhall
Tipsheet” where Matt Vespa reported on possible Trump VP picks.
He listed four possible VP choices, Sen. Tim Scott (R-NC); Gov, Krisi
Noem (R-SD); Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL); and Rep. Elise Stefanik
(R-NY). But of these four mentioned, I believe Trump is more likely
to choose a women to counter Kamala Harris on the Biden ticket.
As for Trump loyalist Kristi Noem...a great governor able to
counter balance the ego and overblown rhetoric spewed by Trump
himself...saw Vespa pushing for New York Rep. Elise Stefanik who, at
this point in time, seems to be the one Trump is leaning towards
especially after his having recently stated that Stefanik, “would
be a killer VP pick.”
So why did Matt Vespa basically write South Dakota's governor out as a VP pick...because and I quote,
“Noem caved on trans athletes,” something
which is beyond a shadow of a doubt not true.
Let me briefly explain just how the media twists the facts to meet
its political agenda by using the above stated example. If Matt Vespa
had done his research instead of buying into the propaganda FOX and
others are spewing out, he would have found that SD-46, banned trans
youth from participating in school sports consistent with their
gender “identity.” Forced upon vote in 2021 to veto a bill
addressing this issue, Noem did so because of called into question
verbal “legalize”...”legalize” that would have opened
up South Dakota to numerous leftist initiated lawsuits...lawsuits
that might well have bankrupted the state.
Also, Vespa failed to
mention that later in 2021, Gov. Noem actually issued two executive
orders...stop gap measures to restrict participation on female sports
teams only to those “assigned female at birth." Then
in 2022, Noem rewrote the bill in correct “legalize”
which passed the legislature and
which she then signed into law.
In other words, Gov. Kristi Noem
first via executive order overrode the previous “legalized”
flawed bill giving herself some time to rewrite and replace said bill
with what was unchallenged wording, thus putting into law the very
thing Matt Vespa said she caved to.
I bring this up to show that it's not
just the left who are influencing the upcoming election courtesy of
words written or spoken, but that our side is too. In the case of
Townhall's Matt Vespa, this involves a possible VP choice...a choice which while
somewhat veiled could, he hopes, see his piece as a way to help sway those of us currently
supporting Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley, to cross over to the Trump
side.
In the case of FOX News it's more in your face obvious that FOX
has indeed become the spokes-mouth for Trump, and will do any and
everything to see him win...which via viewership ratings puts money in their
pockets...even if it includes flooding the airwaves with
everything Trump giving little air time to his Republican opponents,
with the airtime they do give likely to be negative in nature.
Simply, unless the media in general is reigned in regarding their
overtly biased and partisan reporting...unless election fraud itself
is dealt with...which reality shows it has not even started to
be...we will continue to see the media complicit in dictating who the
candidates will be, meaning we will never see a fair unbiased
election again. A lack of ethics, common sense, and in Trump's case
decorum, will surely see to that. Case closed.

Op-ed:
Standing With Tucker Carlson
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor /
Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
This an opinion piece, my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com.
“FOX News
Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways." We thank him
for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a
contributor.”
- Official statement issued by an unnamed FOX News Media spokesperson
(4/24/23)
As Republican party infighting
continues unabated; as consumer prices soar and gas prices edge
higher once again; as the war in Ukraine rages on while draining
America's pocketbook; and as Biden and crew refuse to lock down our
southern border... we now find that the left has a new defacto ally in
FOX News.
Once the news
haven of we on the right, FOX News is now on the verge of committing
ratings suicide with what amounts to their firing of Tucker Carlson,
whose show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” was the top rated
FOX show. And Carlson's being let go after 14-years with FOX came
less than a week after Fox settling a defamation lawsuit...settled to
a tune of $787.5 million...with Dominion Voting Systems
(an electronic voting and hardware company) whose attorneys claimed
that some FOX News personalities, including Tucker Carlson, peddled
what Dominion considered to be false claims regarding the 2020
election being stolen...which in my personal opinion it was for in no way do I
believe that a supposed shananigans-free “basement dwelling ”Joe Biden
garnered 81+ million votes.
But even before Tucker Carlson's
unexpectedly being let go, FOX had already started losing both
credibility and viewership, and it all started when they severed its
20-year tie with Bill O'Reilly. And why...simply because a New York
Times report alleged that either O’Reilly himself or that the Fox
Corporation itself had paid $13 million to settle five cases of
“alleged” sexual and assorted other harassment charges against
O'Reilly...with “alleged” as in “unproven”...being the
operative word...charges that Bill O'Reilly continues to deny to this very day.
And so with O'Reilly, FOX set the tone
of being “fire happy” instead of taking their chances in
court. And if that doesn't send a message...a message that FOX's
hierarchy alone will be judge, jury, and sole purveyor of guilt or
innocence regarding any charges leveled against one of their
employees even if said charges are minus tangible proof. And FOX will
continue to do so if it helps prevent having to pay out larger sums
of monies in any such lawsuit. Remember, in the world in which FOX
operates it is, was, and always will be all about the
money...credibility and truth be damned.
And FOX seems to be stuck in a
cycle of sorts...a cycle not just about firings per se, but about public demotions as well. And that particular cycle seems to
have started with Judge Jeanine Pirro's being demoted from her highly
rated prime time show “Justice with Judge Jeannine”...
to her being but one of “The Five.” And while “The
Five” was and remains
a ratings success, it is mostly a “fluff style” news
and celebrity gossip show, a far cry from “Justice.”
Then came Dan Bongino, a former FBI and
secret service agent, as well as a former New York City police
officer whose show, “Unfiltered,” was canceled after he
and the outlet could not come to terms on a new contract. “I
want you to know it’s not some big conspiracy,” Bongino said
on his podcast, adding that,“I promise you. There’s no
acrimony. This wasn’t some WWE brawl that happened. We just
couldn’t come to terms on an extension.”
But, no matter that negotiations went bust regarding his show “Unfiltered,” Dan Bongino still saw his other show,
“Canceled in the USA”...which
ran on FOX Nation...also being removed from FOX's lineup, in spite of FOX's claim that Bongino may still “occasionally” show
up as a guest on other FOX shows. And while “Canceled in the
USA” was also ratings gold that FOX's hierarchy, for
whatever reason, still decided to cancel, leaves me to wonder just
why was Tucker Carlson..the man who was rightfully considered to be
the very face of FOX News...made the fall guy for what in reality was
FOX's own ineptitude in regards to the Dominion fallout.
Simply, in their shadow blaming
Tucker's Dominion involvement...as erroneous as it is what with
Carlson always having been vocal in his not being a fan of Donald
Trump coupled with correspondence gathered that clearly has him
stating that Trump's take on Dominion was wrong...Rupert Murdoch and
sons...with said sons probably being the ones now running the
show...have made fools of themselves for they never took into account
both Tucker Carlson's popularity and the fact that it was their
actions alone that saw within one day of Tucker's being let go both a
3.6% stock price loss...equating to a $962 million market value
loss...coupled with a major loss in viewership. And with dollars and
ratings always being the bottom line, I'm surprised that daddy
Murdoch himself was not on bended knee begging Tucker to come back
for even he has to realize that Tucker's departure is proving to be nothing but network suicide.
And with FOX now in trouble, I'm also
surprised that Tucker's coworkers have not rallied around, united
with, and stood strong behind him for even they have to know that the whims of Murdoch and sons could see them being the next to be let go...no reason or excuse needed..and that
includes Sean Hannity, Jessie Waters, Laura Ingram, Greg Guttfeld,
and my personal favorite Judge Jeanine Pirro. Also not to be
overlooked is that FOX's news anchors...Brett Bair, Neal Cavato,
etc...were quick to jump on Don Lemon's firing over at CNN but did
not say a word about their coworker and friend Tucker Carlson being
let go. Guess they were told not to open their mouths or else “they
would be next” as the old saying goes. After all, threats do
seem to work wonders when nothing else does.
And speaking of threats...veiled or
otherwise...were threats coupled with truths kept hidden the real
reason why FOX and Tucker Carlson...who relished in holding the left
to account...“parted ways”...the very two words used by
FOX's aforementioned unnamed spokesperson? In my opinion it never was
the Dominion brouhaha for that started back in February 2021 when
Dominion first sued Fox for defamation claiming the network willfully
“spread and endorsed one of the most damaging lies in this
country's history,” with FOX counter-suing saying that the suit
was nothing but a “political crusade” that would
negatively affect the country's “First Amendment rights.”
And this what is but a he said/she said scenario had two years to
fester and grow all on its own with no input from Tucker Carlson
needed.
No, I remain steadfast in my belief
that Tucker Carlson was let go due to his in-depth January 6th
expose...an expose replete with his debunking of the left's narrative
about an “insurrection” that
never was, courtesy of the Capitol tapes where the truth could
clearly be seen by all.
And
with said expose FOX was privy to what was probably the
biggest news story since the "presumed to be stolen" election itself...an election I
and millions of others still believe was stolen...yet not a word
about Carlson's expose was reported on by any of the FOX news
anchors. And this is probably because Rupert Murdoch himself along with his
RINO Paul Ryan...who sits on FOX's Board of Directors...said it was a
“no go”...after
all...and again in my opinion...the entire Murdoch clan as well as
Paul Ryan...are but carelessly veiled Trump hating liberals hiding in
the not so good disguise known as FOX News.
And there's something else that must
be added into the “parting of the ways” mix yet is being
kept silent. And that is the fact that Tucker Carlson was currently
looking into the truth and the lies surrounding the “Ray Epps”
affair... which actually was considered to be ground zero of a
supposed conspiracy theory that the January 6th attack was but a
“false flag” orchestrated by federal agents. And of
course this scared Murdoch and crew for many times conspiracy
theories are indeed based in truth, and those who sided with the
Democrats dare not let even more truth about January 6th come
out...especially out of the mouth of someone like Tucker Carlson.
And so Tucker Carlson is now free of
the reporting shackles put on him by FOX..as in the censoring and
the incursion of woke nonsense slowly working its way into
FOX...free to be who he really is as in a seeker of political
truth...a maverick if you will and a maverick with millions of
loyal followers...me included. And the loser in all this remains the
FOX Corporation who continues to lose money...and lots of
it...viewership, and respect while Tucker Carlson grows in status
with each passing day...a hero to we on the right.
So what will Carlson do now, what with
job offers coming in, including from Glen Beck and the Blaze; the
Hill; OAN, and even from Russian State TV? Personally I think with
Tucker Carlson now reaching cult status...and rightly so...that the
best thing he can do is remain an independent of sorts and call his
own shots. Maybe he should do what Dan Bongino did and hook up with
Rumble via a podcast of his own...a podcast like Bongino's where he
and he alone controls its content.
Or maybe...and here I'm thinking
outside the box...maybe Tucker Carlson should hook up with Bongino
and start a network of their own...a network that combines the best of Republican and conservative values with a healthy dose of
Constitutionalism thrown in for good measure.
And who knows maybe they could
even pool their monies together and try to buy Rush Limbaugh's old
EBI radio network...the largest privately owned broadcast entity in the
country today...and bring back the likes of Bill O'Reilly and other
truth tellers who became victims of closet leftists too afraid to
openly show who they really are.
And in closing, there's one little bit
of personal advice I'd like to give to Tucker Carlson regarding
whatever he chooses to do, and that is that he never use company
servers to send emails and private messages again...just saying.
