A State Department program that allegedly works to suppress conservative media and Americans' free speech appeared to be headed for termination until the latest continuing resolution (CR) appeared before Congress.

Department lawyers last week said the Global Engagement Center (GEC) will "substantially likely" be terminated on Dec. 23, nearly a month before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

In fact, the GEC's authorization was not renewed under the National Defense Authorization Act, the annual defense bill that passed the House on Dec. 11.

However, the bipartisan continuing resolution spending plan heralded by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to avert a partial government shutdown included a one-year extension for the GEC.

The CR since has been scrapped after House Republicans, Trump, and X owner Elon Musk joined in criticizing the deal.

Musk on Wednesday shared influencer Mario Nawfal's X post saying that the 1,547-page CR extended GEC for a year.

"They want to spend YOUR tax dollars on censoring YOU!!" Musk wrote while sharing Nawfal's post.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, The Daily Wire, and The Federalist in February filed a joint lawsuit against the Biden administration's State Department over its alleged funding of technologies that essentially work to blacklist conservative media outlets.

Democrats and mainstream media outlets claim GEC tracks and combats foreign disinformation operations. But after the since-debunked Russian conspiracy connection to the 2016 Trump campaign, GEC focused on targeting free speech content on social media platforms.

"[P]laintiffs allege that the GEC's funding, promoting, and marketing of internet 'risk-raters' Global Disinformation Index [GDI] and NewsGuard amounted to First Amendment-violating censorship-by-proxy," Benjamin Weingarten, editor at large at RealClearInvestigations, wrote in the New York Post.

"These groups aim to purge purported mis- and disinformation by threatening the business models of outlets that publish news and views they deem illegitimate."

Before the House Small Business Committee in June, Weingarten testified that GEC's funding and support of GDI and NewsGuard meant the government "had effectively abridged freedom of speech and of the press — with our tax dollars, and via a foreign-facing entity."

Brendan Carr, Trump's pick for Federal Communications Commission chair, has said we must "dismantle the censorship cartel" and is probing NewsGuard.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that a patient has been hospitalized with a severe case of H5N1 infection in Louisiana, marking the first known instance of a severe human illness linked to the bird flu virus in the United States.

The agency said it confirmed the case Friday.

The CDC said that a sporadic case of severe H5N1 bird flu illness in a person is not unexpected as has previously been experienced in other countries during 2024 and prior years, including in cases that led to death. The agency said its assessment of risk to the public remains low.

CDC said that partial viral genome data from the infected patient shows that the virus belongs to the D1.1 genotype, recently detected in wild birds and poultry in the United States and in recent human cases in British Columbia, Canada, and Washington state.

This genotype of the virus is different from the B3.13 genotype detected in dairy cows, human cases in multiple states, and some poultry outbreaks in the country, CDC said.

There have been a total of 61 human cases of H5 bird flu reported in the United States since April, according to the CDC.

The Louisiana case is the first to be linked to backyard, non-commercial poultry, said Demetre Daskalakis, director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, on a call with reporters.

The virus has infected more than 860 dairy herds in 16 states since March and has killed 123 million poultry since the outbreak began in 2022.

There has not been evidence of dairy herds being reinfected once they have cleared the virus, said U.S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Under Secretary Eric Deeble on the press call.

The agency has enrolled 13 states in its newly launched national bulk milk bird flu testing plan, representing nearly half of the nation's milk supply, Deeble said.

Newsmax Media, Inc. has resolved the litigation brought by Smartmatic through a confidential settlement. Newsmax acknowledges that the Court found that "allegations regarding whether the [2020 U.S. presidential election] and its results were somehow altered or manipulated by Smartmatic are factually false/untrue."

Newsmax reiterates its statement of December 2020 that made clear that there is no evidence that Smartmatic machines or software altered the votes in the 2020 U.S. presidential election and that Smartmatic is a U.S. company and not owned by the Venezuelan government, or any foreign official or entity.

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/abc-news-donald-trump-settle/2024/12/14/id/1191668/

ABC News has agreed to give $15 million to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's presidential library to settle a lawsuit over comments that anchor George Stephanopoulos made on air involving the civil case brought against Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll, a court document filed on Saturday showed.

The lawsuit, filed on March 19 in U.S. District Court in Southern Florida, accused Stephanopoulos of making the statements with malice and a disregard for the truth. It said the statements were distributed widely to third parties and repeated.

Representatives for ABC could not be immediately reached

The lawsuit cites a March 10 interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican who has spoken publicly about being raped as a teenager. During the interview, Stephanopoulos said Trump was found liable for rape and asked her how she could endorse the candidate.
