“The Apprentice” might be coming back to our screens sometime soon, and it won’t be some RINO governor taking the helm for Donald Trump.
Instead, it’ll be Donald Trump at the reins. Donald Trump Jr., that is.
While dad is busy running the country, it appears that the eldest Trump child will prospectively be filling his father’s old shoes, firing most and hiring one in the reality show reboot being discussed by Amazon MGM Studios, according to a Wall Street Journal report Wednesday.
And, as the Journal points out, it’s yet another sign that Hollywood — or what really remains of it, which is to say streaming giants that occasionally dip their toes into theatrical and broadcast releases — realizes that shoving left-wing propaganda down half of America’s throat like a goose being ravaged for foie gras isn’t good business.
“Amazon’s deliberations about rebooting the TV show — and potentially casting Trump’s son in the starring role — is the latest example of how it has sought programming that would appeal to the president and his base of conservative supporters,” the Journal reported Wednesday.
“In some instances, the first family has profited from the push,” it added, noting that Amazon distributed the documentary “Melania” about the first lady.
As it turns out, that doesn’t seem to have been a bad business decision. Trying to recreate “The Apprentice” with other non-Trump hosts after he began his run for the presidency did not go so well:
In March 2025, Amazon released episodes of the original “The Apprentice” series on Prime Video. There was a rush to resurface the reality show after Trump won the 2024 election, some of the people said.
When it first aired, “The Apprentice” was a major hit for NBC. Trump not only starred in the show but was an executive producer and shared in the financial success of the series. It later spawned spinoffs starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Martha Stewart, though those variations were short-lived. Just last week, Trump posted on Truth Social an old newspaper article about the first season’s high ratings.
Rebooting “The Apprentice” would fit into Amazon’s push to appeal to broader audiences as it competes with Netflix and others for viewers. For example, Hopkins has been pushing for more faith-based programming to differentiate Prime Video, according to former executives.
Of course, this will spawn accusations that Amazon is cozying up to the president; the Journal ended its article by noting this about Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who retired from CEO of the company but remains executive chairman: “This week Bezos was among the guests mingling with Trump at a White House state dinner honoring King Charles III.”
Yes, well, rich Americans do tend to do stuff like that, in case you hadn’t noticed. Nobody was flinging around the same innuendoes when Netflix was getting chummy with the Obamas or with the British royals’ embarrassing American-based annex, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
(Spotify was also associated with the latter duo, although it produced little substantive, profitable material, just like Netflix’s relationship with the woke royals; podcaster and Spotify exec Bill Simmons once quipped, not without a bit of agita, that the perfect show title for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would have been “The F***ing Grifters.”)
It’s also worth noting, during the days of peak woke, that Netflix also cozied up to figures like bigger grifter Ibram X. Kendi, promising to produce an animated series titled (no really) “Antiracist Baby.”
That project was shelved in 2022, amid layoffs and cancellations at the terminally woke streamer, according to the New York Post.
There are plenty of ugly things about our streaming society, of course, from TikTok algorithms to brain rot to getting paid millions for being a duchess giving practical tips for kids birthday parties.
(Celebrity guest Mindy Kaling said that she learned about “simple ways to do a homemade kids’ party” on Markle’s homemaking show, including the fact that “you’re not supposed to use overhead lighting when people come over. You’re supposed to use little lamps.” If I could write satire like that, I’d … well, have a deal with Netflix, and a show with better ratings than Meghan’s.)
But the great part is that when you, like, pay for stuff and actually get to pick what you watch, you can’t have stuff shoved down your throat. Amazon seems to understand that, and other companies will likely follow suit.
The Trump Derangement Syndrome crowd will probably have apoplexy over this, but the point is that Amazon doesn’t do shows that won’t make money, and this isn’t a vanity project but something a lot of people will watch. It’s also yet another sign that wokeness’ vice-like grip on the country is ending.

Anthropic recently proposed giving an additional 70 companies access to Mythos, bringing the total number to 120 organizations, sources familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.
Just earlier this month, the firm announced ‘Project Glasswing’, a plan to provide the model to a select group of handpicked companies including Amazon, Google and JPMorgan.”Anthropic: “Claude Mythos is the most dangerous software in the history of the most dangerous software.”

Anthropic itself showed that Mythos could exploit electric grids, power plants and hospitals if hacked.
“Some Trump administration officials are also reportedly concerned that Anthropic does not have enough computing power to serve both government agencies and the additional companies. A White House official told The Post that the Trump administration is actively engaging with the private sector while trying to balance innovation and security.”

Failed Dem Mayoral Candidate Pleads Guilty to Forging Voter Registration Applications
Henrilynn Ibezim
Henrilynn Ibezim tried to give himself a boost during the 2021 Mayoral primary in Plainfield, New Jersey but attempting to turn in forged voter registration applications.
He brought the falsified registrations to a post office in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in a garbage bag and were allegedly completed without the authorization of the individuals whose names appeared on them.
In 2024, a New Jersey state grand jury indicted him on eight counts related to an alleged voter fraud scheme during the June 2021 Democratic primary including::Election fraud (2nd degree)
Trafficking in personal identifying information (2nd degree)
Criminal attempt to commit false registration or transfer (3rd degree)
Tampering with public records or information (3rd degree)
Forgery (3rd degree)
Hindering apprehension or prosecution (3rd degree)
Tampering with witnesses and informants (3rd degree)On Thursday, in a plea deal, Ibezim pleaded guilty to forging the nearly 1,000 voter registration applications.
Accrording to Fox News, the handwriting on the 1,000 applications was matched to only three of four people and “none of the slips were marked as completed by somebody other than the voter whom they were supposed to represent.”
The attorney general’s office also said Ibezim attempted to coach a witness who helped him fill out the applications if confronted by law enforcement and not to “admit anything.”
Per Fox News:
Ibezim pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree forgery Monday as part of a plea agreement with the attorney general’s office. He had originally been charged with eight counts of various criminal offenses, including election fraud and witness tampering, but those charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement.
Prosecutors will recommend that Ibezim serve probation as punishment, according to the statement. He is due for sentencing in June.
“My office is determined to ensure elections are fair and that their outcomes are determined by the will of the voters,” Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said in a statement.
Ultimately Ibezim, who ran on the Unity Party ticket, received only 103 votes in the primary.

“Good Night, Brother… Let’s Go to Bed!” – President Trump Mocks Ilhan Omar For Marrying Her Own Brother (VIDEO)
President Trump on Friday mocked Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN) for marrying her brother.
Trump made the remarks during a speech at The Villages in Florida.
The President visited The Villages to “highlight how his historic Working Family Tax Cuts legislation delivered the largest tax break in history for American seniors with No Tax on Social Security,” White House spokeswoman Liz Huston said.
Trump trolled Muslima Rep. Ilhan Omar for marrying her brother.
“I believe [Ilhan Omar] married her brother, which is totally illegal — although, it’s a lovely couple, actually, but it’s a little bit on the illegal side,” Trump said after he ripped Minnesota Democrats for allowing rampant fraud.
“‘Darling, I love you very much.’ ‘Goodnight, brother. Let’s go to bed’ — Isn’t she despicable?” Trump said.

Last year, President Trump told reporters that Democrat rep Ilhan Omar should be thrown the hell out of the country after she reportedly married her brother to defraud immigration.
“She supposedly came into our country by marrying her brother!” Trump told reporters.
According to her limited bio on the far-left Wikipedia, Ilhan Omar divorced her second husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, in 2011.
Ilhan’s second husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is her brother.
The two were legally married on February 12, 2009, and divorced in 2011.
Power Line blog reported on this scandal years ago.
The Justice Department is investigating Ilhan Omar’s significant increase in net worth.
Ilhan Omar stated she and her husband were reportedly worth $38 million dollars amid questions about their ‘winery’ and investment firm.
Last month Ilhan Omar amended her financial disclosure and said her stated $38 million net worth was due to an ‘accounting error’ and that she is actually worth around $80,000.

FRANCE ON FIRE: Saint-Cyriaque Church Consumed by Flames in Another Arson Attack on Christianity (VIDEO)
Screengrab Social Media/X
Another Christian Church targeted.
In Godless Globalist Europe, Christianity is constantly under attack.
Since 2020, several hundred arson incidents have taken place against churches, conservatively 200–400+, plus additional accidental fires, not to count many more vandalism/desecration cases.
Yesterday (30), it was the Saint-Cyriaque church in Montenach, near the French border, that was destroyed by a fire.
The Church survived two World Wars, but not the Islamic invasion of Europe.
The flames consumed the roof and bell tower within minutes, despite the response of some 60 firefighters.

RTL reported:
“Videos broadcast live on social media showed thick smoke, followed minutes later by flames several meters high, as the blaze ravaged the Saint-Cyriaque church. The roof and bell tower appeared to disappear into the immense fire within a matter of minutes.
Firefighters attended the scene with an aerial ladder, but the flames had already extensively damaged the wooden structure of the parish church. ‘A disaster, our children were due to get married there on Saturday’, one internet user lamented.”Another French church has been destroyed by a fire.

Upon arrival, ‘they unfortunately observed smoke coming from the bell tower’. Fanned by winds that reached gusts of 50 km/h on Thursday afternoon, ‘the fire spread rapidly to the entire roof of the church’.
Firefighters then had to tackle the blaze on three fronts: extinguishing the main fire, evacuating artworks from inside the church, and bringing the vegetation fire under control. Approximately 60 firefighters attended the scene with some 40 emergency vehicles.”

CNN’s Scott Jennings Calls Out Liberal Commentator for Dumb Comment About Black Republicans in Virginia (VIDEO)
CNN’s Scott Jennings had another banner moment last night, once again proving he is the only reason to ever watch the liberal network.
One of the liberal contributors made an ignorant comment about Republicans and black candidates in Virginia. Jennings quickly reminded him that the GOP just ran a black candidate for governor in Virginia but she lost to the white, Democrat, Karen candidate.
It’s amazing that the liberal contributor walked right into that one.
Transcript via Overton News:
Scott Jennings leaves former Daily Beast editor-in-chief speechless in an embarrassing live moment on CNN.
John Avlon attempted to make the case that Republicans were so racist they haven’t elected a black Republican governor since the reconstruction era.
That’s when Jennings fired back with a SAVAGE reminder.
AVLON: “We’ve obviously got some serious steps. We haven’t had an African American Republican governor since reconstruction. Um, I mean, you know, there’s unfortunately an imbalance in the two parties—”
JENNINGS: “The Republicans tried to elect one in Virginia.”
[Avlon looked stunned]
AVLON: “Okay…”
[Jennings laughs]
JENNINGS: “Then you got a white Democrat who gerrymandered the state!”
“It’s all crumbling John!”
CNN quickly ended the segment and cut to commercial.

Hegseth Takes Stolen Valor Democrat Blumenthal to the Woodshed (VIDEO)
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Thursday testified for the second day in a row before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Hegseth and General Dan Caine, Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified on the ongoing Iran conflict.
The US and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran at the end of February.
Hegseth sparred with Democrat Senators but he really ripped into Stolen Valor Senator Richard Blumenthal.
Stolen Valor Blumenthal, for decades, lied about being a ‘war hero’ in the Vietnam War.
Blumenthal did not serve in Vietnam. In fact, he joined the Marine Corps Reserve and received five draft deferments according to military records.
After Blumenthal was exposed for lying about his Vietnam War service, he came out and absurdly claimed that he had merely “misspoken” and really meant to say that he served “during the Vietnam era.”
“A few months into a historic military success in Iran and you want to call it a defeat, and it’s defeatist Democrats like you that cloud the mind of the American people — and would otherwise fully support preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon!” Hegseth said to Blumenthal.
Blumenthal tried to interrupt Hegseth but it didn’t work.

In October President Trump demanded Blumenthal be investigated for lying about his military service:
Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam.
He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” – And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD,” Trump said on Truth Social.
The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate.
It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

BY THE NUMBERS: Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters Are Dominating Cable News Ratings
Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters of FOX News.
Greg Gutfeld is the new king of late night and Jesse Watters is apparently the king of 8 PM.
The two FOX News hosts are dominating cable news ratings and it’s easy to see why. They offer something different than liberal hosts on liberal networks who have been shrieking the same anti-Trump crap every night for more than a decade now.
The only thing MSNOW has going for it is that they come right out and admit that they’re basically ‘resistance’ TV, whereas CNN still tries to pretend that they’re somehow playing it down the middle.
Mediaite reports:
Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters Dominate Cable News Ratings, MS Now And CNN Notch Prime Time Gains
Fox News continued its cable news ratings dominance in April with hosts Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters pulling in the biggest numbers, while CNN and MS NOW also notched prime time gains.
In Monday through Sunday prime time total viewers, Fox averaged 2.9 million viewers and 284,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic. Their totals across the day averaged 1.8 million and 173,000 in 25-54. April marked Fox’s third-most-watched April in the network’s history, according to Nielsen data.
The biggest numbers came from The Five, which averaged 3.8 million viewers, and Jesse Watters Primetime, which averaged 3.6 million. Those were followed by Sean Hannity’s show at 3.2 million and Gutfeld! with 3 million. Bret Baier over on Special Report also averaged around 3 million viewers overall. Those five shows took the top five spots for cable news for the month. Watters and Gutfeld are both co-hosts of The Five as well as hosting their eponymous shows — easily making them the two most-watched personalities in the cable news business.
In the 25-54 demo, Fox also took many of the top spots, though Rachel Maddow’s once-weekly show took fifth with around 280,000. Ahead of her landed Gutfeld! (349,000), Jesse Watters Primetime (335,000), The Five (329,000), and Hannity (319,000).
It certainly doesn’t hurt Gutfeld or Watters that they have both gotten so good at going after Jessica Tarlov on The Five.
Of course, she makes it pretty easy for them too.

Chicago Schools to Bus Students to Anti-Trump May Day Protests Using Tax Dollars (VIDEO)
Screencap of Twitter/X video.
Tomorrow on May 1st, teacher unions in Chicago have decided to once again hold ‘May Day’ protests, which will obviously be aimed at Trump and all things Republican.
As part of these protests, Chicago Schools are going to allow students to attend, and if they choose to go, they can be shuttled to the protests using tax dollars.
Aside from the fact that a significant number of students in Chicago schools can’t read at grade level, how is any of this even legal?
Using tax dollars to transport students to political protests? Where is the outrage?
This report is from PBS:
Chicago labor unions, community groups, students and other advocates are expected to participate in events around the city on Friday in recognition of May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day.
Thousands of Chicagoans are expected to participate in a May Day rally and march starting at Union Park, 1501 W. Randolph St., and ending at Daley Plaza downtown. Other related actions are scheduled in different parts of the city in the morning ahead of the march.
The main rally is expected to begin at 1 p.m. in Union Park. The march is set to step off at 2 p.m.
The expected May Day actions come after disagreements between Chicago Public Schools CEO Macquline King and the Chicago Teachers Union over whether to close schools on Friday to allow students and teachers to participate in demonstrations…
Chicago Public Schools will still hold classes on May 1 after reaching an agreement with CTU that will also allow students and staff to attend labor rallies.
The union said the school district has pledged to provide buses for field trips for students and educators who choose to attend the afternoon May Day rally in Union Park.
See a video report below:Chicago public schools are transporting students on taxpayer dime to an Anti-Trump protest tomorrow.
Just a quick note on that: approximately 31% of elementary students read at or above grade level in Chicago. pic.twitter.com/tmSghX86b9
— David M. McIntosh (@DavidMMcintosh) April 30, 2026Imagine how much better off Chicago would be if these teacher unions put as much energy into teaching students to read as they do to protest.
Taxpayers should be outraged. They’re being robbed and so are their children.
