CBS Blames Trump for Measles While Deep State Sabotages FEMA and Borders Leak Disease
The swamp is spinning, panicking, and collapsing — all at once.
Good Morning, it’s Wednesday, August 27th, 2025.
CBS is scrambling to pin Texas measles deaths on Trump. FEMA bureaucrats are warning of a “Katrina 2.0” if their racket gets exposed. And a flesh-eating parasite just crossed our open border. You won’t see this put together anywhere else — but it’s the only way to see the truth.
They’re Already Watching You and You Helped Them Do It
Think surveillance is about safety? Think again.
We put together an unredacted briefing on how U.S. intelligence agencies, Big Tech, and “private” spyware firms are already profiling you — bypassing your rights through foreign partnerships and legal loopholes.
Inside, you’ll see how the CIA and FBI piggyback off allies to monitor Americans, which blacklisted spyware tools are still active under new names, and how your feed is pre-screened and tagged before you even see it.
👉 It’s free. It’s aggressive. And it shows you what to do if you want to opt out — while you still can.
CBS Says Trump “Hampered CDC Response” — Here’s the Real Story
The media wants you to blame Trump for measles. The real cover-up is decades of CDC failure.
CBS News dropped a bombshell this week, claiming the Trump administration “sowed fear and confusion among CDC scientists” during the Texas measles outbreak — the worst in more than 30 years. Their story, fed by anonymous bureaucrats and conveniently timed leaks, paints Trump as the villain while casting the CDC as helpless victims. But here’s the truth they don’t want you to see: this isn’t about measles, it’s about protecting a failed agency from accountability.
The same CDC that botched testing in the early days of COVID, that silenced dissenting doctors, and that burned through billions of taxpayer dollars without delivering results, now wants sympathy for “not being allowed” to do its job. In West Texas, local health officials were pleading for help as cases spread to more than 4,500 people across six states and into Mexico, killing at least 16. Yet CBS pins the blame on a White House communications freeze instead of asking how the CDC, with a $12 billion annual budget, managed to go dark for weeks.
Emails show CDC staffers were busy editing websites to comply with bureaucratic directives while local hospitals begged for staff and funds. Federal emergency money didn’t arrive in Texas until May 21 — three months into the outbreak. Where did those billions go? That’s a question CBS never asked. Instead, they ran cover for an agency that’s more skilled at political posturing than public health.
The spin also conveniently shields Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose public comments downplaying vaccines and pushing vitamin A treatments added fuel to the fire. Yet the press chose the easy headline: blame Trump, protect the bureaucracy, ignore institutional rot.
This narrative isn’t new. Every CDC failure, from the HIV crisis in the 1980s to Ebola mismanagement in 2014 to COVID lockdown fiascos, ends the same way — blame politics, demand more funding, dodge accountability. The cycle only continues because corporate media like CBS run interference whenever these agencies face scrutiny.
Bottom Line: CBS wants you to believe measles deaths were Trump’s fault. The real scandal is that the CDC — bloated, unaccountable, and flush with billions — failed Texas when it mattered most. And the media’s cover-up proves the deep state will protect its own before protecting your family.
Trump Targets D.C.’s Cashless Bail — Swamp Criminals Panic
When Trump swings federal power at the capital, the swamp shakes.
President Trump just signed an executive order ending cashless bail in Washington, D.C., calling it a “disaster” that turned the capital into a revolving door for criminals. The order, announced Monday alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi and Vice President JD Vance, also threatens to cut off federal funds from any jurisdiction nationwide that insists on keeping no-bail policies.
For context: D.C. adopted cashless bail in 2017 under the guise of “justice reform.” In practice, it allowed violent offenders to walk free hours after arrest — even as carjackings, armed robberies, and assaults spiked in the very neighborhoods where lawmakers live. In just the last 11 days since Trump’s law-and-order blitz began, federal authorities say there have been zero murders in the city, over 1,000 arrests, and hundreds of illegal guns seized. That’s not theory. Those’s results.
Critics scream “federal overreach,” but D.C. isn’t just another city. It’s the nation’s capital — and ensuring the seat of government isn’t overrun by criminals is a federal responsibility. The left frames this as a local-control issue because they don’t want to admit their policies unleashed chaos. When criminals face real consequences, crime plummets. Period.
Bottom Line: Trump isn’t just cleaning up D.C. crime. He’s dismantling the protection racket that kept the swamp safe for corruption — and dangerous for everyone else.
UK Migrant Protests Boil Over — America, You’re Next
When citizens push back, elites call it “racism.” The script is always the same.
This weekend, Britain saw angry confrontations between anti-migrant demonstrators and pro-migrant activists as the government scrambled to contain fallout from a court order forcing a London suburb hotel to evict asylum seekers. Mounted police clashed with crowds in Bristol, while over a dozen arrests were made nationwide. The backdrop: more than 111,000 asylum claims in the past year, with 32,000 migrants still living in taxpayer-funded hotels.
This isn’t just a U.K. problem. It’s the Western playbook: flood the system with migrants, dismiss public outrage as bigotry, then act shocked when communities revolt. The British government — led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer — ditched the Rwanda deportation plan, failed to stop 27,000 illegal Channel crossings this year alone, and now promises “faster asylum processing” as if paperwork solves cultural collapse.
Sound familiar? Europe and the U.K. are a snapshot of what open-borders activists are steering America toward: overwhelmed cities, civil unrest, and governments pretending they’re helpless. Politicians created this crisis. Now they act like passive referees as societies fracture.
Bottom Line: The U.K. migrant protests aren’t isolated chaos. They’re a warning flare. Every Western nation that imports chaos eventually blames its own citizens — and America is on the same track unless we slam the brakes now.
FEMA Bureaucrats Warn of “Katrina 2.0” — Translation: Don’t Audit Us
180 FEMA employees just signed a letter claiming Trump’s leadership changes risk another Katrina-level disaster. But let’s be honest — this wasn’t a warning. It was a threat.
The so-called Katrina Declaration accuses President Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Acting FEMA Administrator David Richardson of gutting the agency’s expertise and putting lives at risk. The letter, sent to Congress by current and former staff, blasted Trump for appointing leaders “without experience” and even mocked Richardson for admitting he didn’t know hurricane season runs May through November. Meanwhile, more than 2,000 FEMA employees have already left since January, about a third of the agency’s permanent workforce.
Here’s what the letter doesn’t say: FEMA’s track record is one long list of bloated budgets, delayed responses, and sweetheart contracts. Billions disappear after every disaster, while politically connected contractors get rich. The very employees crying “Katrina” are the ones who cashed in during Katrina, Sandy, Harvey, Maria, and beyond. When Trump started cutting through no-bid contracts and forcing personal accountability, the bureaucracy revolted.
This is the COVID playbook all over again: manufacture a crisis, blame elected leaders, and demand more money and autonomy. The left is already amplifying this narrative to soften the ground for the next disaster headline — and to shield a federal agency terrified of oversight.
Bottom Line: FEMA employees aren’t warning about a catastrophe. They’re warning that their disaster-capitalism racket is finally under threat — and they’re willing to sabotage the country to protect it.

Today’s Ledger file breaks down how CBS, FEMA, and the border health scare tie into one coordinated playbook — and what they’re planning next.
The free briefing shows you what’s happening. The Ledger shows you what comes next.
ICE Re-Arrests “Mistakenly Deported” Man — Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Honduran man the media once painted as a victim of a “mistaken deportation,” was taken back into ICE custody during a routine check-in. The press trumpeted his 160-day family separation, but now buries the follow-up: ICE doesn’t waste resources on people who are truly here legally. Details here.
Hospital Strike Sparks Media Fury — The IDF hit Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, killing 20 Palestinians, including 4 “journalists,” according to Hamas. The Western press rushed to amplify outrage — but never asks the real question: how many of those “journalists” were Hamas operatives hiding behind press badges? Coverage here.
Cartel Boss ‘El Mayo’ Pleads Guilty — Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, the shadowy Sinaloa cartel kingpin who ran drug empires for half a century, has finally entered a guilty plea after his July 2024 arrest. Nobody survives that long at the top without political and intelligence protection — the real story is who else was on his payroll. Full story.
Trump Pulls Plug on Offshore Wind Scam — President Trump ordered a major offshore wind project halted just before completion, enraging green activists and subsidy-hungry investors. Offshore wind isn’t about “saving the planet.” It’s about billions in taxpayer cash funneled to politically connected firms under the cover of climate virtue. AP report here.
Flesh-Eating Parasite Hits U.S. — The first American case of a deadly flesh-eating parasite, traced to a traveler from El Salvador, has been confirmed. Diseases once eradicated are back — carried across porous borders under the guise of “compassion.” This isn’t just immigration policy. It’s a public health crisis imported by design. Axios details.
France vs. Kushner — France summoned U.S. Ambassador Jared Kushner after he accused President Emmanuel Macron’s government of failing to combat antisemitism. Paris called Kushner’s letter “unacceptable,” proving once again that foreign elites attack the messenger rather than admit their own failures. Full report here.
Musk Declares War on Apple & OpenAI — Elon Musk’s xAI filed suit accusing Apple and OpenAI of running an illegal monopoly through their iPhone AI integration. Musk’s claim: this isn’t about market share, it’s about controlling what Americans can access, read, and believe. Details here.
Japan’s Shameful Apology — Police in Japan apologized at the grave of Shizuo Aishima, a businessman who died after months of wrongful detention before charges were dropped. They admitted his death was the product of systemic abuse — a chilling mirror of how U.S. prosecutors weaponize pretrial detention to crush lives. Read more.
FEMA’s ‘Katrina Declaration’
“Decisions made by Noem, Richardson and Hamilton hinder the swift execution of our mission, and dismiss experienced staff whose institutional knowledge and relationships are vital to ensure effective emergency management.”
