Weekend Beacon 3/23/25

Having spent the last week poring over the JFK files, I can tell you the biggest question remains unanswered: Oswald's coworker Bonnie Ray Williams says right before the assassination he was having a fried chicken sandwich. But Williams also says the chicken was bone in. Who eats a bone-in chicken sandwich? And who would serve such a thing? Alas the coverup continues.

The Deep State Strikes Back

If you have a Netflix account, you've likely been prodded to check out Zero Day, a "political thriller" starring the grumpy liberal activist Robert De Niro in his first television role. If you're on the fence, there are two things you should consider before pressing play.

Success of Trump's address makes Democrats' desperate damage control all the more humiliating



Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan delivered her party's rebuttal to President Donald Trump's congressional address. Unfortunately for Democrats, Trump's optimistic and inspiring speech eclipsed Slotkin's damage control.

To Slotkin's credit, she pulled out all the stops. She addressed the economy, recent DOGE cuts, tariffs, and foreign policy. Even still, her message was overshadowed by Trump's address, which garnered an overwhelmingly positive reception.

Democrats pouted and protested during Tuesday night's address, even during apolitical and heartwarming moments.

The vast majority of Americans approved of Trump's speech, according to a CBS poll surveying viewers. Nearly 70% of Americans also said they felt hopeful watching the speech, and over half said they felt proud.

Meanwhile, some legacy media omitted covering Slotkin's address altogether, including Politico Playbook and Punchbowl's morning newsletter. This is just further evidence that Trump's speech was another bright spot for Republicans and MAGA supporters across the country, and Democrats felt it.

Democrats pouted and protested during Tuesday night's address, even during apolitical and heartwarming moments.

'They refused to clap for the families of Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley, Corey Comperatore, or the capture of the terrorist mastermind behind Abbey Gate.'

In a touching exchange, Trump made DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old boy with cancer, an honorary member of the Secret Service, fulfilling Daniel's lifelong dream of working in law enforcement. Yet in true leftist fashion, Democrats like MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace politicized the moment by bringing up January 6.

“I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump's supporters," Wallace said. “And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy."

Democrats also refused to celebrate Americans whose lives have been lost over the last four years.

"Democrats couldn’t even stand for the incredible Americans President Trump recognized," Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said. "They refused to clap for the families of Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley, Corey Comperatore, or the capture of the terrorist mastermind behind Abbey Gate. That’s the sad state of Congressional Democrats today."

WATCH: Joy Reid Concludes Lackluster Career at MSNBC

Joy Reid wore an MSNBC-branded tracksuit Monday night while hosting the final episode of her show on the failing left-wing network. The defiant performance came after news leaked on Sunday that MSNBC was canceling the The ReidOut and firing Reid due to her abysmally low ratings.

IT BEGINS: Rachel Maddow's Massive Salary Slashed at MSNBC

It turns out the pay cuts have already started at MSNBC. Weeks before parent company Comcast announced it was spinning off the obnoxious liberal network into a separate entity, star anchor Rachel Maddow reportedly agreed to reduce her annual salary from $30 million to $25 million over the next three years. Some would argue Maddow is still grossly overpaid considering she only hosts her MSNBC show one night per week, but the substantial pay cut, first reported by the Ankler on Thursday, is almost certainly a sign of things to come for Maddow's increasingly deranged colleagues at MSNBC, who will soon be at the mercy of new management eager to "right-size" their ridiculous salaries.

Gravy Train Derails at MSNBC: Top Anchors Face Huge Pay Cut After Comcast Severs Ties With Left-Wing Network

Comcast is finally cutting ties with MSNBC, the media conglomerate announced Wednesday. That's bad news for the exorbitantly compensated and increasingly unhinged personalities who call the left-wing network home (for now). MSNBC and other declining television assets—but not the reality TV powerhouse Bravo—will be spun off into a new publicly traded company by the end of next year. That means MSNBC will soon be divorced from the ostensibly more serious and less overtly partisan NBC News, which routinely shares reportage, fact-checking (if you can call it that), and contributors with its sister network. Comcast brass on Wednesday told MSNBC staffers that  the network's name and peacock logo might not survive the breakup. The outrageously inflated salaries of the network's top anchors almost definitely won't.

Tired of Losing: Why Comcast May Cut Ties With MSNBC

Donald Trump's first term as president was the best thing that ever happened to MSNBC. The Democratic-aligned cable news channel enjoyed record ratings between 2017 and 2020 as anxious #Resistance liberals tuned in for group therapy sessions hosted by Joy Reid, Nicolle Wallace, Rachel Maddow, and other anti-Trump commentators whose increasingly unhinged rhetoric mirrored the deteriorating mental health of their viewers. But after four years of sagging ratings under President Joe Biden, amid a media landscape that has changed dramatically since 2016, there is reason to doubt that MSNBC and its roster of relentlessly partisan grievance-mongers can repeat that success in Trump's second term. A more pressing question: Can the network even survive in its current form?
