NPR: House Passes $9 Billion Rescission Bill Clawing Back Already-Appropriated Billion Dollars for NPR and PBS
I want to cite NPR for this. Might be one of their last stories.
Waaah. Scramble the Bird Hands.
Congress rolls back $9 billion in public media funding and foreign aid
Bird Hands locked in attack position.
The House has approved a Trump administration plan to rescind $9 billion in previously allocated funds, including $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) -- a move that cuts all federal support for NPR, PBS and their member stations -- and about $7 billion in foreign aid. The vote of 216-to-213 included all but two Republicans in favor of the cuts. The bill goes next to President Trump for his signature. Immediately after the vote, NPR CEO Katherine Maher issued a statement calling the cut an "irreversible loss" to the public radio system. She said the effect would be "an unwarranted dismantling of beloved local civic institutions, and an act of Congress that disregards the public will."
Weird that the Bird Hands People never mention the real audience served by NPR -- wealthy white women drinking boxed wine, ignoring their children, masturbating to Kamala Harris speeches, and casting spells to reunite the timeline. You may wonder what I meant by that. Consider it foreshadowing for a later post.
"Public funding has enabled the flourishing of a uniquely American system of unparalleled cultural, informational, and educational programming, and ensured access to vital emergency alerting and reporting in times of crisis -- all for about $1.60 per American, every year. Parents and children, senior citizens and students, tribal and rural communities -- all will bear the harm of this vote," Maher said.
North Carolina Rep. Alma Adams was among the Democrats who rose to defend public broadcasting. "When Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina last year, public broadcasting was there when traditional communications failed," she said. "Widespread power, cellular and internet outages meant that for thousands of North Carolinians, public radio was how they received their news." The House move follows a "vote-a-rama" late Wednesday and into early Thursday in the Senate to consider a series of amendments to the rescission package -- all but one of which failed on largely party-line votes. Republicans repeatedly voted to block changes to President Trump's request, known as a rescission. The single amendment that passed was aimed at protecting PEPFAR, the U.S. AIDS relief initiative created under President George W. Bush. The House vote on Thursday means CPB will lose $1.1 billion meant to fund it through the next two years, while the bill also cuts $7.9 billion in other programs. CPB acts as a conduit for federal money to NPR, PBS and their member stations. Although NPR, which produces news programs such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered, relies on direct federal funds for only a small portion of its budget, its approximately 1,000 member stations get a heftier portion of their operating revenue through CPB.
The network has warned that many of those stations -- especially those broadcasting to rural areas or to underserved audiences, such as Native Americans -- could be forced to shut down as a result of the funding rollback.
You might remember that the Senate diverted some money earmarked for "climate change" to fund Native American radio stations. I guess this is what they're talking about. It's gay and Mike Rounds has disqualified himself forever from any higher office. Fuck you. The GOP does not need any "male" Bird Hands People.
South Dakota Republican Sen. Mike Rounds announced earlier this week that he had struck a deal to use money allocated during the Biden administration to continue funding 28 stations serving Native American listeners in nine states. However, Native Public Media President and CEO Loris Taylor called the compromise "structurally impractical," in a letter to Rounds.
Just another completely fair-and-balanced report from NPR.
PBS CEO and President Paula Kerger said Thursday that the move to cut public broadcasting "goes against the will of the American people, the vast majority of whom trust PBS and believe we provide excellent value to their communities."
With its nightly PBS News Hour and children's programming, such as Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, PBS gets around 15% of their revenue through CPB.Can't wait until this asshole is out on the street begging for donations from George Soros. Years back, my friend Mike Flynn -- the editor and Breitbart writer, not the general -- was part of a campaign called Defund the Left. The left, you see, constantly gets the government to pay for its own political operations to undermine the United States, capitalism, and the government themselves. The left is made up of communist revolutionaries, and communist revolutionaries, you may know, are not exactly in-demand as employees. So what the left does is create thousands of make-work positions in the federal government to keep these communist revolutionaries paid by the loyal American taxpayers they wish to subvert, overthrow, and then enslave. The left exists like a malignant parasite within the government and the major mediating institutions that serve a government-like purpose. This parasite will kill us, and in the meantime, it sucks us dry providing nothing in return but constant subversion and perversion.
"These cuts will significantly impact all of our stations, but will be especially devastating to smaller stations and those serving large rural areas," Kerger said. "Many of our stations which provide access to free unique local programming and emergency alerts will now be forced to make hard decisions in the weeks and months ahead." A Harris Poll last week found that 66% of Americans support federal funding for public radio, with the same share calling it a good value. Support included 58% of Republicans and 77% of Democrats. The online poll surveyed 2,089 U.S. adults with a 2.5 percentage point margin of error. In recent years, NPR has landed increasingly in the crosshairs of conservatives, who have accused the network of left-wing political bias and "woke" programming. The publication last year of an essay authored by then-NPR business editor Uri Berliner critical of the network's coverage only reinforced the notion, providing ammunition to NPR's detractors. In the piece published by The Free Press, an online site embraced by journalists who believe the mainstream media is too liberal, Berliner argued that an NPR drive for greater diversity in its workforce had actually narrowed the network's viewpoint. Shortly after the piece was published, Berliner was suspended and later resigned and became a contributing editor for The Free Press. NPR's chief news executive, Edith Chapin responded to Berliner's essay by saying the network covers "a wide range of challenging stories" and that inclusion among its staff and sourcing "is critical to telling the nuanced stories of this country and our world."
... Democrats and Republicans alike have also raised concerns about the rescission process -- a rare move that hasn't been attempted in a quarter century. The lawmakers said rescission would make it harder for lawmakers to pass future appropriations bills to fund the government ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline. "The only way we can fund the government is to get at least seven Democrats to vote with us at the end of Sept. 30, or we can go into a shutdown," Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said on the Senate floor Wednesday. "If I'm a Democrat, and you're trying to get me to vote and get to a 60-vote threshold to fund the government, and you've just betrayed a prior agreement and a prior appropriation -- what are the likelihood that they're going to do that?"
We have to get serious about finally Defunding the Left. This is a good first step, but it's only a first step, nothing more. Below, some whining from the left about taxpayers no longer funding part of their political operations to enslave them.

One of the rationales NPR is using to steady its collective upper lips over being defunded is that rural communities, if their local NPR station is shut down, will wake up living in a literal Dark Age. Implied but not said is Vikings will immediately appear and begin to ravish, these suddenly struck stupid, rural women.
At least that is what I heard when I tuned into my local small town NPR station this morning. Plus a weeping Ken Burns who was threatening to commit suicide by leaping from a first story window.
My stony heart was amused.
Learn to OnlyFans NPR. NPR a natural for this because it has been a Democrat whore for decades; time to show some leg.

PBS is one of our "free" streams from our broadband provider. Some of the Kentucky history stories are interesting, but they were filmed decades ago and repeated throughout the month/year.
There's cooking shows, gardening too, but also originally aired decades ago as well.
Beyond that.... nothing I'm aware of that would cause me to even think about PBS.

It seems to me that when it comes to cutting wasteful spending PBS and NPR should be the lowest of low hanging fruit. Their funding should have been stripped years ago.
But even for something as obvious as this, the Republicans can't stand together without a number of them defecting or having to be bribed with pork to do the right thing

PBS already has advertising on its streaming service, including Viking Cruises and Raymond James. And those spots come at significantly lower rates than traditional ad buys. (I know someone who's bought time.) PBS will need to start running more ads and/or charging more per spot.

CPB can just beg harder during their frequent pledge drives. If the rich wine moms want this content they can support it. They've used the fig leaf of "we have to be party neutral to get our gub'mint funding" for ages while being commie shills. When all their money comes from donors how will they proclaim that they are neutral, independent voices?
Not that I care. I used to watch the BBC comedy "Are you being served?" on PBS years ago. I'm sure I can find that on youtube now if I get a nostalgic yearning.

Its only fair then that all of the airport gates be auctioned the same way to maximize revenue for airports. No more property rights for gates from the big carriers.
Watch Delta squeal like a hog if that was done.

The network has warned that many of those stations -- especially those broadcasting to rural areas or to underserved audiences, such as Native Americans -- could be forced to shut down as a result of the funding rollback.
I live in a middle to upper class blue area. There are Ukraine flags, gay flags, "no kings" blah blah crap everywhere.
And the AWFLs here clearly listen/watch "public" infotainment networks.
When I drive out into the sticks though, even in a blue area, it is ALL Trump signs. If these people are consuming the same infotainment it isn't having any impact on their political views...and why would they subject themselves to this crap anyway?

It seems to me that when it comes to cutting wasteful spending PBS and NPR should be the lowest of low hanging fruit. Their funding should have been stripped years ago.
But even for something as obvious as this, the Republicans can't stand together without a number of them defecting or having to be bribed with pork to do the right thing

Its the usual suspects, almost always some female GOP Senator that keeps it from happening.
I think at least some of it is that the GOP is no longer a lot of upper-middle class, country club types. Much more working class now and working class people dont sit around and listen to NPR. Wine moms at one time were at least nominally Republican. But no more.

Piers Morgan has a NewsCorp show broadcast on YouTube called "Piers Morgan Uncensored" and, like MeAgain, he has been using his freedom to say whatever he wants to say.
Yesterday he had Joy Reid on and he accused her to her face of racializing everything and calling everyone she disagrees with a racist. She responded by racializing the conversation and calling him a racist, which got him laughing as she proved his point so readily.

His time is done. AI can do what Burns does for a lot less composing orated slide shows of historical events.
The upside of AI is that a certain type of vampiric critter will be demonetized--Burns never conducted any original research only collated it, added music, and pictures/videos, put to a slow narrated slide show effect.
As do a lot of documentary makers in homage to the dude.

87 My prediction: this will not impact NPR or PBS one bit. They receive 95% of their funding from other sources, which will prove that their decades of caterwauling has been much ado about nothing. It seems that the "public" imprimatur was of paramount importance to hide behind, pretending to be an absolute good.

They say that. I don't believe that. It's like PP claiming that 80% of their procedures aren't abortions. The way that NPR is fighting to the death for this funding strongly suggests it's worth much more to them than 5%.
Posted by: Elric The (One and Only) Blade at July 18, 2025 01:32 PM (iFTx/)
Agreed. A lot of their other sources were NGOs, who also no longer have their funding, so the pinch this year is way bigger than just this cut...

Yes, the party base is not longer the country club corporate types. Many of that country club/corporate types have moved left just as the places that educated them and their contact networks have. Most of them no longer have much allegiance, if any to the US, but rather their counterparts across the world. Particularly true of the big multinational corps or ngos. They view countries and their peoples to be plundered and ruled rather than co-citizens.

I can't recall the last time I heard anyone even mock Colbert or the other late night drones. I pass over clips of the others every so often. And I'm from the era where these shows mattered quite a bit.

He had that one really tasty dish the women (and some men) enjoyed savoring in their mouths.

Delta, $DAL, to eliminate set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket, per FORTUNE
Posted by: weft cut-loop at July 18, 2025 01:58 PM (mlg/3)
I guess the boffins at Delta don't keep up with Pixy's Daily Tech News reports on AI failures. This will be popcorn worthy.

Fortune is embellishing what Delta is really proposing. It's nothing more than using AI to try to charge people more. Like they need AI to do that.
The problem with air travel is that it's basically a government-enforced monopoly and every single airline charges pretty much exactly the same for the same routes. There are a few exceptions, but mostly if you go to expedia and put in a flight for quotes, the results are pretty much to the penny.

Maybe Delta will make you request tickets in typed natural language, and the price will be dependent on how you ask:
"My dearest inimitable Delta Airlines, mayst I request from thee a ticket to Boston, such that I may visit Mater on Martha's Vineyard?"
"Yes, human. The price is $950."
vs.
"Gimme tic to Bstun, BITCH!"
"Yes, human. The price is $75."

For decades, Delaware never had a national park. We survived just fine. Made us unique in a different way and was a point of some pride.
The AWFLs and their fanbois got all huffy and started whining, "Why doesn't Delaware have a national park? Is that fair? IS IT?"
So Congressional jackasses girded their loins and conjured up some form of a National Park for Delaware. Ken Burns (Ken! Burns!) threw his support behind the effort. AWFLs and fanbois swooned. And Delaware got its National Park.
I have despised that meddlesome little shit ever since that time.

OK lets step back a moment and look at this. Congress has, for the first time in my life, maybe the first time in the existence of the United States, actually cut spending. NOt reduced the increase in spending, not capped, not kept at a steady level, but reduced spending by nine billion dollars.
REDUCED.
now, with an annual budget of $1.9 TRILLION dollars in a nation 37 trillion in debt, its a tiny shuffle forward in a double marathon but... cuts. I can hardly believe it.

They have learned, or at least are willing to pretend that they learned.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene @RepMTG
Remember when Canada froze the truckers (Freedom Convoy) bank accounts and crypto when they protested against vaccine mandates?
Canada NOT China.
Congress is passing a bill today (GENIUS Act) that that opens the back door to a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
The Fed has been working on this for years.
The ultimate goal is to move us to a cashless society and digital currency.
House Republicans want a ban on CBDC but the Senate says they don’t have enough votes to pass a ban on CBDC!
Johnson refused to allow us to make amendments to the bill and says he will put the ban on CBDC in the NDAA.
BUT IF IT WON’T PASS NOW, IT WON’T PASS THEN!!!!!

NPR/PBS is going to be fine, they have an audience who can pay up. Besides, who cares.
The NPR audience was so rarified they thought the movie "Deliverance" was a documentary about rural America and "Exorcist" was a tell-all about the Catholic Church.

The elites don't pay for public tv or radio themselves, unless they get their name on it. The day to day money comes from the middle class bullied relentlessly for it. Then they get nothing in return.

First State National Historical Park is a National Park Service unit which lies primarily in the state of Delaware but which extends partly into Pennsylvania in Chadds Ford. Initially created as First State National Monument by President Barack Obama under the Antiquities Act on March 25, 2013, the park was later redesignated as First State National Historical Park by Congress.
It's a mishmash of sites with no overarching rhyme
or reason, just that they are (mostly) in Delaware.
An acquaintance, who works for the Pennsylvania State Parks, remarked at the time it was formed, "Why do you want to bring those meddlesome national park nitwits into the picture? They bugger up everything that they touch."

I remember looking at the numbers and you are fairly unlikely to get AIDS from vaginal intercourse (though women are at somewhat more risk then men). You really do need anal intercourse and LOTS of it.

The rough answer is "not possible" with normal acts. Because they never trotted any out and they sure tried.

And another part of this - it isn't even monogamous gay couples spreading AIDS. Its ridiculous amounts of anonymous anal sex.

North Carolina Rep. Alma Adams was among the Democrats who rose to defend public broadcasting. "When Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina last year, public broadcasting was there when traditional communications failed," she said. "Widespread power, cellular and internet outages meant that for thousands of North Carolinians, public radio was how they received their news."
But NPR was NOT their ONLY option for radio news. There are at least 5 other stations in Asheville North Carolina.
