MSNBC flops in May: Network had smallest monthly audience since 1999 among viewers coveted by advertisers
MSNBC finished May with its smallest monthly audience among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54 since November 1999, and its lowest-rated month among the demo in primetime since May 2004, as Rachel Maddow’s reduced schedule continues to harm the network.
“Record-low ratings going back to 1999 is almost always a bad sign seeing as how they were then a fledgling network and far less ubiquitous in our bodypolitic,” NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News Digital about MSNBC, which launched in 1996.
Houck believes that nowadays, liberals have a multiple options when looking to “be spoon-fed their talking points” but MSNBC honchos “need to figure something out unless NBCUniversal is content with perpetually rearranging deck chairs on their version of The Titanic.”
Viewers between ages 25-54, who are considered young enough to change habits and buy new products or services, but old enough to have disposable incomes, are the group that advertisers largely seek to reach with commercials. MSNBC has struggled to attract viewers from this coveted group since President Biden took office, and the progressive network averaged only 70,000 demo viewers during the month of May compared to 229,000 for Fox News Channel.
FOX News is not having this problem, of course.
MSNBC is still trying to be anti-Trump resistance TV but it just isn’t working anymore.
In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves finally makes good on his promise for a full review of the PEN-15. What started out years ago as a viewer-driven project to build an AR-15 turned into a perverse exercise in crowdsourcing anything involving TFBTV viewers. James walks you through the story and brings the full review of the PEN-15 from Thunder Ranch, including input from the legend himself, Clint Smith.

Anyone who has used a thermal optic while hunting at night can tell you the huge advantage these devices provide, but that’s not their only application — they’re invaluable for search and rescue operations, and recent conflicts such as the war in Ukraine have clearly shown that thermal optics offer an advantage on the battlefield as well. Whether you need to scan your property for four-legged predators, search for a lost pet, or defend against human aggressors, thermal optics can make low-light tasks much easier. The new Armasight Contractor thermals, which were unveiled earlier this year at SHOT Show, are now hitting the market.
The Armasight Contractor series is launching with two models, the Contractor 320 3-12x25mm (top) and Contractor 320 6-24x50mm (bottom). Both optics are designed and built in the USA, and feature Armasight’s new made-in-the-USA ArmaCORE thermal core with 12-micron pixels (a large increase in sensor resolution over previous models). Each Contractor optic is contained in a lightweight metal housing and powered by CR123 batteries with a 4-hour maximum runtime.
The Contractor series of thermals offers six color palettes, some of which can be seen above. These images are rendered onto a 60 Hz 1024×768 display. There’s also a digital compass, inclinometer, and a choice of eight user-selectable reticles:
Still photos and up to 4 hours of video can be captured and stored in onboard memory. Alternatively, these photos/videos can be downloaded onto a computer via the USB cable, or transmitted over WiFi to your mobile device using the Armasight mobile app (available for iOS and Android). The app can also be used to remotely control the thermal optic, stream live video, check GPS location, and install firmware updates to expand functionality.
MSRP for the Armasight Contractor 320 3-12x25mm is $4,299, and MSRP for the Contractor 320 6-24x50mm is $4,799. For more information, go to Armasight.com.

In light of the sham show trial regarding the alleged culprits behind the so-called January 6, 2021 “insurrection,” I think some actual facts are in order that, when you examine them, only raise more questions. One of the most troubling questions is why were Ukrainians tied to neo-Nazi groups inside the U.S. Capitol mingling with undercover FBI agents and supporters of Donald Trump?
I have the answer for you thanks to the work of Yaacov Apelbaum at XR Vision. Yaacov wrote an outstanding investigative piece more than a year ago and few have paid attention to the facts he has uncovered. I am here to rectify that. Here is what Yaacov wrote:
In a January 14, 2021 tweet entitled: “PRO RUSSIAN LDNR OPERATIVE WITH ANTIFA AT THE CAPITAL BUILDING”, [Mary] Fanning positively identified an Antifa and a Russian operator at the Capital riots. This post illustrates her MO. A continues spray of tiny bits of truth in a sea of deception, also known as the firehose of falsehoods.(Fanning posted this information on her blog, The American Report.)
Image 1: Mary Fanning (using the moniker @realMaryFanning) misidentifying the political affiliation of Dybynyn as pro-Russian
Mary identified Sergei Dybynyn as a “Pro-Russian LDNR”, apparently keen on blaming Russia for helping stir the pot on 6 Janaury. He is not Pro-Russian. Sergei Dybynyn is affiliated with the neo-Nazi AZOV group. Take a close look at the following images.
One of the images shows Sergai Dybynyn standing next to the horned Viking (an actor that goes by the name of Jake Angeli AKA Jacob Anthony Chansley, who has no public ties to Antifa). Dybynyn is affiliated with members of the Ukrainian nationalist movement, some of which openly embrace extreme right-wing and fascist ideologies. Fanning’s claim about the source for Dybynyn's arrest warrant also is wrong, it was not issued by the “Ukrainian Ministry of Interior” but rather by the Pro-Russian separatist: “DSP of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR (Lugansk People’s Republic).”
As you can see for youself in the preceding image, the actual identity of Sergai Dybynyn, who Mary Fanning misidentified during the Capital riots as “pro-Russian”, has an arrest warrant issued by the Lugansk People’s Republic, which is an ally of Russia. Before you start screaming that the “Zhidobanderite” image on Ihor Kolomoysky’s T-shirt was photoshopped, chill, this alliance/marriage of convenience with the ideology of the Právyi Séktor is well documented.
The next image provides a deeper dive into Dybynyn and three other related individuals wanted in the LPR arrest warrants. These photos come from their social media pages. All four are Ukrainian nationalists. Roman Bochkala, one of the wanted man, is a US Peace Crops volunteer in Ukraine who visits the US regularly and has attended training in the US (via the Open World program). Interestingly, he also seems to be frequent flyer on various US military aircrafts. If you are still not convinced about what these people really think about the Russians, check the message on Roman’s right hand bandage. (It reads, “F**k U Putin).
The question remains, why was neo-Nazi Sergei Dybynyn in the U.S. Capitol on 6 January 2021? This is but one glaring irregularity the House Committee should be investigating. Are they ignoring it because they know that if they follow the money–i.e., who paid for his plane ticket and his lodging in Washington, DC–they are likely to find a Democrat operative holding the checkbook?
If you want to investigate/prove possible election fraud, you don’t need hush-hush data that purports to come from ‘secrete leaked’ NSA/CIA projects or anonymous individuals. Just focus on factual legally obtained evidence that can stand-up in court. For example, official CCTV footage with chain of custody verification that shows identifiable vehicles delivering dozens of ballot boxes in the wee hours of the night. Scanning same ballots multiple times without supervision and the resulting one sided statistical vote anomalies should tell you something. If you claim to have seen ballots being trafficked/shredded/burned, produce the actual evidence, images of traffickers can be easily identified and shredded ballots can be easily reassembled. If you suspect voting machine irregularities in a specific race, conduct a manual re-count of the paper ballots and compare it to the voting machine count. Don’t accept any fantastic explanations about Delta force raids in Germany or votes being transmitted/manipulated overseas via military satellites. This is all disinformation that is designed to destroy the credibility of real voting fraud investigations and it’s coming from the same ‘patriotic’ republican establishment sources that produced Q-Anon and the Italian Job.
Despite the federal government’s attempt to withhold evidence surrounding the cold-blooded murder of Ashli Babbitt and the corporate media’s effort to demonize the slain Air Force veteran, her family vows to never stop fighting for her until justice prevails.
Aaron Babbitt, the husband of the late Ashli Babbitt who was murdered in cold blood on January 6th inside the US Capitol told Greg Kelly tonight that he is going to skip the sham Jan. 6 Committee hearing.
Before the partisan and unconstitutional public hearing started, Aaron Babbitt, a US Marine veteran, joined Greg Kelly on Thursday night.
Aaron told Kelly that he was going to skip the televised Jan. 6 Select Committee hearing.
“I’m going to go watch my grass grow,” Aaron Babbitt said. “Every time something big Jan. 6 pops up, I can count on two things: Complete BS from the left and then Ashli trends on Twitter.”
Aaron is planning on filing a lawsuit against the Capitol police who shot his wife dead in cold blood.
Watch:
Last March, Ashli’s mother, Micki Witthoeft, and husband, Aaron Babbitt, shared in an exclusive interview with the Gateway Pundit regarding the murder of Ashli Babbitt.
“You are looking at the two people that will be dragging our bloody stumps across the ground until we cannot fight anymore,” Babbitt affirmed. “We will never stop fighting for Ashli. I know what happened that day. Micki knows what happened that day.
“I don’t think a lot of people in America realize who Michael Byrd’s attorney, Mark Shamel, is,” the Marine Corps veteran continued. “He just had to recently take himself off the record because he was defending Danchenko during the Steele dossier case. So, [Byrd] has been fed this high-powered, Clinton-attached DC attorney that he can’t afford. Somebody is paying for that.”
Tonight the January 6 Committee aired its first state-run show trial against President Trump on state-run television.
This was the first time in American history that Congress aired a committee hearing — during the prime time — on at least 8 major channels of state-promoted propaganda against the opposition party and President Donald J. Trump.
At the same time, President Trump’s Spox Liz Harrington released a series of fraudulent activities found in the 2020 Election.
Kicking out Republican poll watchers in Philidelphia so they couldn’t see the poll workers ‘count’ 600,000 ballots. God only knows where they came from but we do know that President Trump was up by more than 600,000 ballots on Election Night.
Widespread fraud in nursing homes where elderly who weren’t physically or mentally able to vote, voted voted in the election (no doubt for Joe Biden).
Nursing homes in WI had 95 to 100% participation rates. (impossible)
Maricopa County in Arizona (the nation’s fourth largest county) deleted voter data on voting machines the date before a 2020 Election audit was to occur. To date no one has been indicted for this crime.
7% of mail-in ballots were trafficked in Wisconsin (we saw similar numbers in a county in Pennsylvania).
In GA massive corruption.
Over 100,000 active voters in WI were registered for more than 100 years.
Tens of thousands of ballots were delivered in Detroit in the middle of the night.
WI has 4 million adults but 7 million voter registrations.
Over 50,000 phantom votes in WI.
Over 200,000 ballots in AZ with mismatched signatures.
Over 370,000 votes with missing ballot images in Georgia’s Fulton County.
More votes than voters in 15 of 17 Nevada counties.
17,000 ballots after election day that were duplicates.
Liz offers much more.
Note that not one single mention of this was discussed by the Jan 6 committee. These corrupt politicians should be placed in the DC Gulag not putting on a show on prime time like communist third world tyrants.
After a yearlong investigation, the sham House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th began its first hearing Thursday night.
The unprecedently partisan and unconstitutional committee is debuting never-before-seen recordings and documentation from closed-door depositions with Trump officials on primetime.
Rep. Bennie Thompson kicked off the proceedings by playing the race card.
“I’m from a part of the country where people justify the actions of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan and lynching. I’m reminded of that thought in history as I hear voices today try to justify the actions of the insurrectionists on January 6, 2021,” Thompson lamented.
“It was domestic enemies of the constitution who stormed… and occupied the Capitol,” Thompson insisted.
The Mississippi Democrat, who just won his primary earlier this week, blasted former President Donald Trump for coordinating the “culmination of an attempted coup.”
“[Trump] spurred a mob of domestic enemies of the constitution to march down the capital and subvert American democracy,” he said.
Thompson then played a video of Trump’s traitorous Attorney General Bill Barr explaining that he resigned from the administration because he refused to sit idly by while the nation’s leader plotted to stay in power based on lies of electoral fraud.
“I made it clear I did not agree with the idea the election was stolen, which… I told the president was bullshit,” Barr is heard stating during a videotaped deposition.
As Americans face historic inflation, a baby formula shortage and skyrocketing inflation, the January 6 committee is projected to spend more than $8 million of taxpayer dollars in 2022 to uncover little to no new evidence about the events that unfolded during the January 6 protest.
The committee employs 51 staffers and the committee has an average salary of $124,416, Breitbart News reports.
The Arizona GOP will host its first Republican Party-sponsored 2022 primary debate moderated by AZGOP Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward tonight at 6 pm at East Valley Institute of Technology in Mesa.
Tonight’s debate for Arizona Secretary of State is between Trump-Endorsed State Representative Mark Finchem and State Representative Shawnna Bolick.
Arizona’s stolen 2020 Presidential Election should be a major topic in this debate between candidates for Arizona’s Chief Elections Officer.
The debates will take place through June 20th, featuring candidates for Arizona Corporation Commission, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Attorney General. Tickets are available here.
The previously scheduled AZGOP-sponsored debate for Arizona Governor was canceled because only Trump-endorsed frontrunner Kari Lake agreed to debate. The AZGOP told The Gateway Pundit that Matt Salmon declined his invitation, and Karrin Taylor Robson did not even respond.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Lake agreed to allow Salmon and Robson to know all of the questions in advance and take notes up on stage with them, but it appears they were still too scared to debate Kari Lake in front of Republican voters.
Watch the Arizona Secretary of State debate live below.
(SCOTTSDALE, AZ) – Republican Party of Arizona Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward announced the schedule for the official Republican Party-sponsored primary candidate debates in four critical races this year.
The debates will offer Republican voters the chance to hear from their Republican candidates for Secretary of State, Corporation Commission, Superintendent of Public Instruction and Attorney General directly and unfiltered.
The debates will be moderated by Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward and feature questions submitted online by Republican voters. Additional debate dates may be announced in the future.

This morning, the Allendale, MI, home of Ryan Kelley, a popular GOP gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley and father of six children, was raided by agents of the FBI from the Grand Rapids office. Kelley was also arrested.
A full 17 months after the events of January 6 at our nation’s Capitol, the FBI has apparently discovered that Ryan Kelley was standing outside of the Capitol and must be publicly humiliated and punished for his actions.
According to NBC 25 News, Kelley has been charged with a misdemeanor.
“Ryan Kelley, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested this morning on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach. He was arrested in Allendale. Mr. Kelley is to make his initial appearance this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan,” said Bill Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in the District of Columbia.
FBI spokeswoman Mara Schneider declined to comment on the reason when reached Thursday morning but said court documents would be unsealed soon.
NOT-coincidentally, the raid takes place on the same day as the highly orchestrated for prime-time television, Jan 6 Witch Hunt Committee’s kangaroo court hearings.
Ironically, Kelly has been a favorite with MI voters because of his stance against an authoritarian and overreaching government.
Also, not coincidentally, the FBI raid of the popular grassroots gubernatorial candidate takes place only one week after the stunning announcement that 5 MI gubernatorial candidates (including the top two candidates, former Detroit Police Chief James Craig and self-made billionaire and grassroots favorite Perry Johnson) would be removed from the MI primary election ballot over alleged fraudulent signatures on their nominating petitions. According to a member of the Michigan Board of Canvassers, the gubernatorial candidates, whose names were being removed from the ballot, were not even allowed to see the signatures the MI Bureau of Elections (under the control of Michigan’s dishonest Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson), identified as “fraudulent.”
The arrest comes after the activist group Michigan Dems, a vile, far-left group has created a campaign to destroy Kelly by sharing a video on their website that was posted by Democrat operative Michigan Tea on Twitter, hoping to label Kelley as an “insurrectionist”
In the tweet by Michigan Tea, they claim Ryan Kelley (although you can’t see him) is saying, “C’mon! Let’s go. This is war, baby!” While the video doesn’t clearly show Kelly, it does clearly show Kelly is walking OUTSIDE of the US Capitol building.
The criminal complaint used to raid Kelly’s home was signed yesterday by Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui of the DC District Court.
The criminal complaint does NOT specifically say Kelly was INSIDE the Capitol, but instead claims Kelly:
“Knowingly Entering or Remaining in Any Restricted Building or Grounds Without Lawful Authority”
The second charge is for “Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds.”
Isn’t this the same as protesting which is protected by the First Amendment? And how many Antifa or BLM members have been victims of FBI home raids for the VIOLENT protests that took place for weeks outside of the White House only months before the 2020 election?
Here’s a quick look at the violent riots that raged in front of the White House on June 9, 2020. Where is the June 9 House Commission investigating the people behind the arson, looting, violence against innocent citizens, and threats against the President of the United States and his family in front of the White House?
The final charge is for “Knowingly Engage in Any Act of Physical Violence Against Person or Property in any “Restricted Building or Grounds.”
NONE of these charges specifically identify Ryan Kelly, a top contender for GOP governor in the state of Michigan of being INSIDE the Capitol Building and ALL of the charges are misdemeanor offenses. Are we still living in America???
Kelley’s biggest crime is calling on Americans to stand up to an increasingly authoritarian government led by Democrats, as cowardly Republicans stand by and watch their once free nation disappear before our eyes…
Nancy Pelosi’s partisan Jan 6 Committee has hired a former television network executive to “produce” Thursday’s witch hunt proceedings in a shameless attempt to turn the prime-time hearing into “must-see TV.”
The sham Jan. 6 Committee started its partisan hearing with a video clip of the deposition of former Attorney General Bill Barr.
Based on the recorded video interview, Former AG William Barr told President Trump that he lost the 2020 Presidential Election and that his belief the election was stolen was “bullshit.”
“I can recall, one was on November 23, one was on December 1, and one was on December 14. And I’ve been through sort of the give and take of those discussions. And in that context, I made it clear I did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out this stuff, which I told the President was bullshit,” Barr said.
“I didn’t want to be a part of it. And that’s one of the reasons that went into me deciding to leave when I did.”
“You can’t live in a world where the incumbent administration stays in power based on its view, unsupported ordered by specific evidence that there was fraud in the election,” Barr added.
It should be noted that Bill Barr did nothing as GOP observers were locked out of counting rooms, as 5 battleground states stopped counting at the same time on election night, after hundreds of thousands of ballots were dumped into the state totals in the middle of the night for Joe Biden and after THOUSANDS of ballot traffickers dumped hundreds of thousands of ballots into drop boxes across the country during the 2020 election.
