An indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges that a Russian state-controlled media outlet financed a Tennessee company. The indicitment doesn't name the company, but a description of the firm matches the online content creation company Tenet Media. The indictment accuses two Russian nationals, employed by Kremlin-operated media outlet Russia Today, of funneling nearly $10 million to covertly fund and direct the Tennessee company. Here's what we know about Tenet Media and its possible connection with the accusations laid out in the indictment. What is Tenet Media? On its website, Tenet Media describes itself as "a network of heterodox commentators that focus on Western political and cultural issues."

The Russians are masters of "active measures." Effective when its "in the black." Effective once revealed. Look how it is used in the video at the top of their article.

Cripes. I wouldn't be surprised if Vlad Putin and his pals at the Kremlin are sitting back at night, downing a few shots of high quality Russian vodka and a side of caviar laughing at the stupid Americans. All they gotta do is have some snot-faced kid in the basement of a Moscow high rise post a couple of things on Facebooks and all of a sudden, it's Russian disinformation. You know, like Hunter's laptop.

AlGore went to work for RT after his defeat by Bush...giving it "Legitimacy/Credibility". PBS/NPR are all "State run Media", as is Voice of America, Fazebuk, twitter, and insta were all doing more "Secret Govt control/propaganda" functions than RT.

I doubt they actually knew where the money was coming from. So many cutouts and fakes apparently. Could even be a setup. I DO know, that these "principled conservatives" will change their "principles" when given a large check. And if you ever wonder why so many of them flipped on a dime in regards to RDS......where is Sundance with his stings and tentacles on this one?

"Arrest you political enemies" is a first principle among the Kamel Backers. After all, marketing alone cannot win an election. There apparently still is a need for a "crime," so one must be fabricated from the existing facts using tortured legal faux-reasoning, or one must be manufactured for future use. Then there is ballot harvesting, using that term in the broadest possible way.

#5 We don't call our local fish wrap the Tennessean "Pravda on the Cumberland" for nothing. But then I think most of the Tennessean's "journalism" is now copy/pasted slop shipped out of Minnesota or Michigan or one of those exceptionally cold Liberal states thanks to our local rag being absorbed by some huge multinational corporation, like most newspapers nowadays.

With just two months until Election Day, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump enter the final stretch with a nonsignificant polling split. But despite the tiny gap, the results show a shifting back towards the former president after Harris entered the race at the end of July. Just two days until the presidential nominees' first debate, a New York Times/Siena College poll puts Trump 1 percent ahead of the vice president – 48 percent to 47 percent – within the survey's 3-point margin of error. The latest was conducted September 3-6 and is largely unchanged from the same national survey of likely voters taken in late July after President Joe Biden ended

Steven Crowder published some undercover video Thursday which renews some old doubts about what really motivated Alvin Bragg's case against Donald Trump. As you probably remember, Bragg used some creative legal work to turn a bunch of misdemeanor infractions involving business records into a host of felony charges. Now the DOJ Chief of Public Affairs for the southern district of New York, Nicholas Biase, is on video saying the whole case was "nonsense." Kudos to Crowder for getting the video but also for saying right out of the gate that Biase is not the bad guy here. What we're getting is an unbiased take

Former President Donald Trump received an impassioned endorsement from Grammy Award-winning country music star Gretchen Wilson during a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday, with the singer excoriating the Democratic party for abandoning the American people. Gretchen Wilson appeared alongside Trump during his rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin. Before she performed, she spoke about her humble upbringing in Illinois and her family, which supported Democrats. “Back in the day my family were all Kennedy Democrats. But that’s when the Democrats were on the side of the people,” she said. “Once I started paying attention to what was really going on, I realized the Democratic Party left us.”

A manhunt is underway for at least one suspect after several people were shot Saturday near an interstate in a rural area of Laurel County, Kentucky, located south of Lexington, according to the sheriff’s office. The active shooter situation occurred near Interstate 75, about nine miles north of the city of London, where “numerous persons have been shot,” said the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office. Kentucky State Police Trooper Scottie Pennington said via social media the suspect “has not been caught at this time. We are urging people to stay inside.” Law enforcement will provide “as much information as it becomes available,” he added.

The New York Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI, working with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), apprehended terror suspect Mohammed Khan for planning a terror attack in Brooklyn, New York City. FBI's undercover investigators communicated with Khan via encrypted message apps and learned that he planned a mass shooting at an undisclosed Jewish center in Brooklyn. Khan planned the attack to take place on or near October 7, the anniversary of Hamas' brutal attack on mostly unarmed Israeli civilians, which resulted in an unknown number of rapes, roughly 1,200 deaths, and many hostages. Khan, 20, was arrested near Ormstown, Quebec, approximately 12 miles from the Canadian-American border.

Just days after Joe Biden launched yet another attack against Benjamin Netanyahu, blaming the Israeli prime minister for a lack of a ceasefire deal in Gaza, Hamas made the president and his vice president look like fools again. According to the most recent reporting, the latest of several possible agreements has fallen through. Is it because Israel refused to make vast concessions to a terrorist group? Once more, the answer is no. Instead, Yahya Sinwar, the political and military head of Hamas, has scuttled the deal with another last-second bait-and-switch. For nine months, Biden and Harris have claimed a ceasefire deal was just around the corner.

Now that she is running for president in a political moment when victimhood is currency, Vice President Kamala Harris paints herself as being brought up on the “streets” — complete with fake accents as part of her bit. However, unfortunately for that narrative, the politics editor at Breitbart News (me) happens to have grown up in the same neighborhood Harris lived in from when she was 12 to 18 and can report that calling herself “middle class” is definitely a stretch. On Labor Day, Harris put on one of her myriad fake dialects to address a working-class crowd in Detroit, Michigan. However, it is virtually impossible
CNN Data Guru Brings Sad News for Kamala:

CNN’s enthusiastic Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten said Friday that the presidential contest is historically tight and that the slightest shift in momentum could alter the outcome. Moreover, he added, if Donald Trump outperforms current polling by a mere point—which is certainly possible, if not likely, given recent presidential elections—he’ll be strolling into the Oval Office in January 2025. Polls in 2016 and 2020 consistently—and famously—underestimated Trump’s support. Enten pointed out that no race has been this tight in decades, a fact which has to be giving cause for the former president to smile while drawing mournful frowns from Team Kamala.

Vulnerable Democratic Sen. Jon Tester trails his GOP opponent by 8 points in a new independent poll of Montana’s Senate race — a result that could very well tip control of the Senate to Republicans.

Perhaps this recent announcement by Liz Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney the former Defense Secretary, will awaken a few more.

Montana county declared the wrong winner in a race after overcounting votes. During a post-canvassing audit of the Butte-Silver Bow County primary that was held in June, election officials suspected an overcount of more than 1,000 ballots, prompting a judge to order a recount. The recount discovered that 1,131 more votes were counted than voters who voted. Data shows a very similar number of votes in each precinct was overcounted. Election officials are not entirely sure what happened, though Butte-Silver Bow County Clerk and Recorder Linda Sajor-Joyce told leaders she believes the extra ballots were from sample data that had not been cleared from the software by Election Day, according to KTVH.

Putin expressed a preference for Harris while he was attending the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Thursday. “I told you our favorite, if you can call it that, was the current President Mr. Biden.

In Illinois, they've figured out how to save the planet: They're snatching the mini-shampoo bottles off your sink at that pricey hotel you're staying at and making you use a big communal bottle instead. No more cute souvenirs of your travels for you. According to Illinois Policy, which appears to be a local think tank: The days are numbered for small shampoo bottles in Illinois hotels because of a new law signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Hotels with more than 50 rooms are banned from providing single-use plastic bottles of shampoo, mouthwash and other toiletries starting July 1, 2025. If a hotel has less than 50 rooms, the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2026.
