“Mainstream media bias is beyond biased”
Back in 2020, venture capitalists Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg launched a new podcast called All In. The All In Podcast focuses on business, technology, current events, market trends, and politics.
With well over 600,000 subscribers on Youtube, and over 400,000 followers on X, the All In Podcast is clearly becoming an extremely influential source of ideas, information, and discussion. This month, the founders held a live summit event in Los Angeles featuring the likes of Elon Musk and alternative news mogul Bari Weiss.
Exerts from that event are making the rounds on the internet including these video snippets from the session with Bari Weiss, editor and CEO of The Free Press.
🇺🇸DAVID SACKS: THE TURNING POINT FOR ME WITH THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WAS DURING COVID
“I agree with you that the mainstream media is not just biased; it's like all propaganda, all the time.
And the turning point for me in realizing this was COVID.

House Unanimously Passes Bill Boosting Secret Service Protection For Presidential Candidates

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
The House unanimously passed a bill Friday that would bolster U.S. Secret Service protections for major presidential candidates in the aftermath of a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
The bill, titled the “Enhanced Presidential Security Act,” passed the House in a 405-0 vote after two assassination attempts on Trump took place between in July and September. The bill would require the Secret Service director to equally apply standards for protections for presidents, vice presidents, as well as major presidential and vice presidential candidates.
“It’s unacceptable that now we’re at two assassination attempts on President Trump,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in a press release. “The Secret Service has to provide the same level of protection for presidential candidates as for presidents so that something like this doesn’t happen a third time. The future of our country is at stake.”
“Political violence has no place in our country, but when it does rear its ugly head, we must ensure we’ve done everything possible to prevent it from being successful,” Scalise continued.
On July 13, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks took aim and fired multiple shots at the former president from a rooftop positioned just 130 yards away from a rally stage in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Leading up to the rally, Crooks was reportedly spotted by attendees, flagged by Secret Service, and even identified by a local counter sniper over an hour before Trump stepped on stage.
Within two months of the Butler shooting, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh attempted to assassinate Trump while the former President was golfing at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Routh was arrested by authorities after his “AK-47 style rifle with a scope” was spotted in the bushes on the course by a Secret Service agent.

Immigration crisis is absolutely “On Purpose” Center for Immigration Studies testifies
Citizens of western nations all over the world have been dumbfounded by the absolute collapse of immigration services in country after country. Until very recently, agencies in charge of the flow of people into their nations did a reasonable job of securing borders. Then something changed.
What used to be a trickle of illegal immigrants has turned into a torrent of millions. Since 2020, over ten million illegals have entered the southern US. This week San Diego’s former Border Patrol Chief Agent Aaron Heitke testified at a hearing by the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security that far more than ten million illegals have entered. Heitke says border patrol agents were so entirely overwhelmed “80% to 90%, sometimes 100% of the agents on duty [were taken] away from” the southwest border. There were miles of the border unmanned in Texas, Arizona and California, he said, where there was “no agent presence for weeks and months at a time.” This means of course that the unofficial number of migrant “gotaways” is far larger than the already shocking official numbers.
In Canada, illegal immigrants take a different path but the results are similar in terms of the percentage of immigrants compared to the general population. Most undocumented migrants in the US pour in through the southern border. Canada’s undocumented migrants tend to enter the county legally as refugee claimants, or with valid student, work, or visitor visas. Then they simply stay. While the official immigration numbers are in the 500,000 range, the undocumented migrants are easily twice that number. As a result Canada’s population is absolutely skyrocketing, putting pressure on anyone trying to buy a home, making a lot more competition for entry level jobs, and contributing to inflation as the economy plays catch up with the number of consumers.
The influx of people into western nations has caught citizens off guard. The question is, are the governments of western nations also surprised? It’s obvious that something is broken. The way our governments protect borders has changed in each of these nations (and it’s different in nations where people can simply walk over the border compared to nations like Canada and the UK where that’s not possible).
Another question is, who’s even looking into this? In times past we’d expect governments to hold inquiries into such nation challenging events. Failing that, the media would be up in arms, demanding government officials do their jobs and investigating how things fell apart. In nation after nation, the traditional media doesn’t seem all that interested. Surprising, because with an election bearing down on America, alternative news sites are reporting growing concerns millions of illegal immigrants will have access to voter registration forms and may help to choose the next President.
A research organization called Centre for Immigration Studies has found itself swamped in the 2020’s trying to keep track of what’s happening and who’s coming to the US. The Executive Director of The Center for Immigration Studies testified this week at an Oversite Committee Hearing into Biden Immigration Policies. The CIS is the nation’s only think tank devoted exclusively to the research of U.S. immigration policy to inform policymakers and the public about immigration’s far-reaching impact. Executive Director Mark Krikorian is one of the few people watching government specifically to answer questions such as “Is the largest border crisis in history some kind of accident?” His answer is stunning and disturbing.
“The largest border crisis in the history of our country, probably the largest such event in human history, began on January 20th, 2021, ON PURPOSE, not due to incompetence.”

While this testimony applies to the United States, it very likely points to similar situations in other western nations. The question for Canadians is, who’d looking into this in Canada?
