Clooney’s Anti-American Media Crusade Backfires

George Clooney launched a scathing attack against CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss in late December 2025, accusing her of “dismantling CBS” after the network pulled a 60 Minutes segment on El Salvador’s CECOT prison for undocumented immigrants. The Hollywood activist’s criticism came after CBS settled a $16 million lawsuit with Trump over their deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris interview, highlighting the media’s ongoing bias issues that conservative viewers have long recognized.

Weiss, appointed following Paramount’s merger with Skydance, fired back at Clooney’s accusations on December 30, 2025, positioning herself as a reformer working to restore journalistic integrity. The feud exemplifies the clash between traditional Hollywood leftist activism and emerging media leadership that refuses to bow to celebrity pressure. Clooney’s retreat to France amid this controversy underscores how out-of-touch elites abandon America when their narratives face challenge.

Trump Delivers Swift Justice Against Drug Cartels

President Trump authorized decisive military action on December 31, 2025, striking Venezuelan drug boats in operations that resulted in 35 total strikes and 115 casualties. These actions target the Maduro regime’s drug trafficking networks that have poisoned American communities while enriching corrupt socialist leaders. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the operations on television, calling media criticism a “clown hour” and emphasizing America’s commitment to dismantling narcotics pipelines.

The Venezuela strikes demonstrate Trump’s willingness to use American military power to protect homeland security, contrasting sharply with previous administrations’ weak responses to drug trafficking. Trump simultaneously issued warnings to Iran’s regime amid ongoing protests, signaling that America will no longer tolerate threats from hostile nations. This assertive foreign policy approach resonates with conservatives who demand strong leadership against international adversaries threatening American interests.

Democratic Tantrums Expose Leadership Vacuum

Kamala Harris immediately condemned Trump’s Venezuela operations as “unlawful and unwise,” revealing the Democratic Party’s reflexive opposition to decisive action against drug cartels harming American families. Harris’s criticism follows a pattern of Democrats prioritizing foreign regimes over American security interests. Her response highlights the stark choice facing voters in upcoming midterms between Trump’s strength and Democratic weakness on national security issues.

Conservative outlets like RedState have documented these Democratic “tantrums” as evidence of a party completely disconnected from American priorities. While Trump takes concrete action against drug trafficking and media bias, Democrats resort to predictable condemnation without offering viable alternatives. This dynamic reinforces the narrative that only conservative leadership can effectively address the threats facing America from both foreign adversaries and domestic media manipulation.
