PBS Board Chair wished Trump a Happy Birthday

A PBS Board Chair Wished Donald Trump a Stroke on His 80th Birthday and Got Caught

ABC News just fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a hater on social media. That was a fireable offense – and the board chairman of a taxpayer-funded PBS affiliate decided to one-up it.

Now Bob Greene is waiting to find out if anyone at Rocky Mountain PBS has the spine to do anything about it. On Sunday, Trump's 80th birthday, an X account posted a simple question: "Donald Trump turns 80 today. Any birthday wishes?"

Bob Greene – the board chairman of Rocky Mountain PBS, the highest governance position at the organization – typed out his answer. "A nice stroke that turns him into a drooling, pooping blob in a wheelchair unable to speak," he wrote.

"This is clearly a deranged individual who should seek professional help," said White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales. She also reminded everyone of what Trump already did: "President Trump rightfully defunded PBS last year, and will continue to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not wasted fueling left-wing propaganda."

That defunding came in July 2025, when Trump signed legislation pulling $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting – the federal pipeline that kept PBS stations like Rocky Mountain on the air.

Bob Greene's post is a perfect illustration of exactly why that decision was correct.

Judge says Trump can't defund NPR and PBS

Obama appointed Federal judge permanently blocks Trump executive order defunding NPR and PBS

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday permanently blocked President Donald Trump's executive order directing all federal agencies to cut off funding to NPR and PBS, ruling the action unconstitutional and calling it one of the clearest cases of government viewpoint discrimination he had seen.

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, found the executive order "unlawful and unenforceable" under the First Amendment. The ruling goes beyond the now-defunct Corporation for Public Broadcasting, barring federal agencies across the board from denying funding to the two media entities based on the president's directive.

The White House wasted no time pushing back. Spokesperson Abigail Jackson called it "a ridiculous ruling by an activist judge attempting to undermine the law," Fox News Digital reported.

Here is the core tension: taxpayers have a legitimate interest in deciding where their money goes, and the president has a legitimate interest in executing the spending priorities Congress sets.

But the judiciary keeps stepping in to tell this administration what it cannot do, and in this case, the judge's reasoning raises real questions about whether federal courts are effectively granting media organizations a permanent entitlement to public dollars.

What the judge said, and what he missed

The White House asserted that Congress had already voted to defund NPR and PBS. The administration has signaled it expects to appeal.

Judge Moss has ruled against Trump several times.

Trump Defunds Liberal Networks

After decades of promises, GOP finally defunds PBS and NPR

Congress passed the first rescissions package in over 2 decades, giving Trump a major win and cutting off liberal propaganda outfits.

President Donald Trump is among the Republicans who have long sought to terminate federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, a pair of outfits whose unmistakable ideological bias and imbalanced coverage at taxpayers' expense have rankled conservatives. The call to defund the liberal networks goes back at least as far as the Nixon administration.

On May 1, Trump ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cut off the liberal propaganda networks' direct and indirect funding, noting both that "Americans have the right to expect that if their tax dollars fund public broadcasting at all, they fund only fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan news coverage" and that "no media outlet has a constitutional right to taxpayer subsidies."

The president's order was, however, vulnerable to legal challenges — especially since Congress holds the power of the purse.

To ensure the success and permanence of this defunding effort, the White House proposed that Congress cancel funding to public broadcasting for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. In addition to the proposed $1.1 billion in cuts to the CPB, the White House also requested that lawmakers cancel over $8 billion to various leftist projects disguised as foreign aid programs.

Not only that, this package cuts billions in wasteful foreign aid that has been spent on projects including $4 million for 'sedentary migrants' in Colombia, $643,000 for LGBTQI+ programs in the Western Balkans, $833,000 for 'transgender people, sex workers, and their clients and sexual networks' in Nepal, and many more."

Executive Order to end funding to PBS and NPR

Trump slashes federal funding for PBS and NPR

CV NEWS FEED // President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Thursday to end federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), criticizing both outlets for years of taxpayer-funded left-wing activism and “woke propaganda.”

The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to “cease federal funding for NPR and PBS,” citing a drastically changed media environment and lack of impartiality.

“Unlike in 1967, when the CPB was established, today the media landscape is filled with abundant, diverse, and innovative news options,” the order states. “Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence.”

“Which viewpoints NPR and PBS promote does not matter,” the order states. “What does matter is that neither entity presents a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens.”

'MONSTERS!' Trump goes all caps in fierce attack on NPR and PBS

President Donald Trump is ferociously attacking National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System, using all capital letters online to call them "radical left monsters."

"REPUBLICANS MUST DEFUND AND TOTALLY DISASSOCIATE THEMSELVES FROM NPR & PBS, THE RADICAL LEFT 'MONSTERS' THAT SO BADLY HURT OUR COUNTRY!" Trump figuratively shouted Tuesday on Truth Social.

"There's plenty of coverage. That was from a different age and they spend more money than any other network of its type ever conceived. So the kind of money that's being wasted, and it's a very biased view. … And I'd be honored to see it end."

Trump's call came in the wake of NPR CEO Katherine Maher's embarrassing testimony before Congress as she tried to distance herself from radical notions she promoted, including that America was addicted to white supremacy.

Birth Control

Your eyes will roll at one “woke” idea PBS is pushing after this Supreme Court ruling

Corporate media moves in lockstep with the Democratic Party.

They coordinate to uphold a persistent narrative.

Now PBS is pushing one absurd “woke” message after a historic Supreme Court ruling.

The Democrats have been hysterical since the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed Congress and states to vote in support of pro-life policies.

Donors have flooded millions into ballot initiatives to enshrine abortion, and the Democrat-controlled media has greased the wheels with targeted stories.

Now the left-wing media machine is pushing another form of birth control: vasectomies. I guess it's better than killing babies. [PantsOnFire]
