Truth Based Media

By JD Rucker

Despite horrible ratings and pushback from their audiences, legacy media continues to be a cesspool of lies and bias. Even some of the "right-leaning" major publications are not serving the people pro... more

March 10, 2026 Only 47% of Americans Say Religion Is ‘Very Important’ as Religious ‘Nones’ Reach Record High
For the first time in modern polling history, fewer than half of Americans — just 47% — say religion is "very important" in their lives.

Religious "Nones," those with no formal religious affiliation, have reached a record high of 24%, up from just 2% in 1948.

57% of Americans now say they seldom or never attend religious services, up from 42% in 1992.
Young adults are the least religious demographic, with 35% identifying as "Nones" and 61% rarely or never attending services.

Black Americans have experienced the steepest decline of any group, dropping from 85% calling religion very important in 2001–2005 to 63% by 2021–2025.

Republicans have held relatively steady at 64% saying religion is very important, while Democrats have plummeted from 60% to 37% over two decades.

Experts say there is no data suggesting a reversal, with generational replacement driving a long-term structural decline in American religious life.

March 07, 2026 Tony Gonazales, Demonic Forces in AI, John Cornyn, Stagflation, Anthropic’s Follies, and More
Tony Gonzales had dropped out of his congressional race, but is that enough? Should he be stepping down from Congress altogether even though it would make it even harder for Republicans the rest of the year?
Artificial intelligence is giving people very bad advice, often resulting in dire consequences. Knowing that there are, at the very least, glitches in the system that can cause harm, what should we do? And what if those glitches are demonic or otherwise malevolent in nature? Can we still use it?
There are plenty of reasons to not support John Cornyn in the upcoming Republican runoff for U.S. Senate in Texas. We addressed 10.
Stagflation is here. Despite all of the tremendous efforts by President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the economy is struggling to be beneficial to everyday Americans. What can we do to adjust?
Anthropic's CEO made mistakes. Most importantly, he decided that it was important to call out the President and other AI companies in an internal memo. Sadly for him, the memo was leaked and now he's scrambling to fix the debacle.
We cover all of this and more on today's episode of The JD Rucker Show.

March 06, 2026 Anthropic’s AI Limits Were Reasonable, but Also Completely Unacceptable in Context
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly apologized after a leaked internal memo — in which he accused the Trump administration of wanting "dictator-style praise" — torpedoed ongoing negotiations with the Pentagon and drew a sharp White House response.

The dispute traces back to a $200 million Pentagon contract Anthropic signed in July 2025, which included two usage restrictions: no fully autonomous weapons targeting and no mass domestic surveillance of Americans. The Pentagon demanded those clauses be removed.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth formally designated Anthropic a "Supply-Chain Risk to National Security" — the first time in U.S. history that label has been publicly applied to an American company — and President Trump ordered all federal agencies to immediately cease using Anthropic's technology.

Legal experts say the designation is on shaky ground, because the statutes authorizing it require an intelligence-driven technical finding of actual risk — not a punitive response to a vendor that refused to renegotiate contract terms, which is how the administration framed it publicly.

OpenAI signed a deal with the Pentagon hours after Anthropic walked away, but its revised agreement ultimately included the same two restrictions Anthropic had demanded — raising serious questions about whether the White House's real grievance was ever about the clauses themselves.

Elon Musk — whose xAI is a direct Anthropic competitor and recently signed its own Pentagon deal — amplified attacks on Anthropic via X, and Senator Mark Warner publicly questioned whether national security decisions were being driven by careful analysis or by competitive and political considerations.

Despite being officially banned, Claude was actively being used to support U.S. military operations against Iran at the time of the designation — a contradiction that captures the central tension of the entire dispute: the government's most advanced AI tool is now officially its declared enemy.

March 03, 2026 Mike Johnson Confirms Imminent Threat as Iranian Leaders Attack Everyone, Even Their Own Ships
Johnson says preemptive strike stopped ‘staggering’ US casualties - https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/iran-war-trump-israel-khamenei-march-2

“Israel was determined to act in their own defense here, with or without American support,” he said. “Israel faced what they deemed to be an existential threat. Iran was building missiles at a radical, and at a rapid clip, to the point where our allies in the region could not keep up, as you know, Iran, has, long vowed to take out Israel, wipe it off the map.”

“Because Israel was determined to act with or without the US, our commander in chief and the administration and the officials…had to evaluate the threats to the US, to our troops, to our installations, to our assets in the region and beyond,” Johnson continued. “If Iran had begun to fire all of their missile arsenal – short and mid-range missiles – at our personnel and our assets and our installations, we would have suffered staggering losses, and if we had waited to respond before acting first, then those losses would have been far greater than if we had done what we did. That was their decision.”
