The Substack exile who thinks he’s a ‘journalist’ is melting down after recently celebrating Trump’s name being removed. It looks like Trump found a loophole. The Kennedy Center Board voted to add ‘Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump’ under the building’s name. They also voted to name the plaza in front of the center after Trump and close the venue for two years while renovations take place. An angry Acosta is now demanding those involved be thrown behind bars.]]>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 16:30:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]><![CDATA[CNN]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Fake News]]><![CDATA[Jim Acosta]]><![CDATA[Liberal Media]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/08/14/jim-acosta-trump-name-to-be-inscribed-on-kennedy-center-n2431270<![CDATA[Earlier this year you might remember that the talking point going around was that the Defense Department under Pete Hegseth was spending too much money on quality chow for servicemembers:]]>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 09:05:15 -0400<![CDATA[Doug P.]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Fake News]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Military]]><![CDATA[Pete Hegseth]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/08/14/these-reports-are-false-us-centcom-addresses-claims-making-media-rounds-about-uss-abraham-lincoln-n2431288<![CDATA[Before Jen Psaki joined MS NOW as a mouthpiece for the Democrat Party, she served as White House Press Secretary for President Joe Biden.
