Maybe It’s Me

But I’m getting a little tired of being told that if I disagree on anything with the Party that controls the White House, both Houses of Congress, and pretty much every government agency that I’m a threat to democracy.

Step Outside Your Media-Induced Bubble

…and actually TALK to people.

You’ll soon see who the liars are.

This is a lovely thread.

CNN IS State TV

…and should go down in FLAMES, never to be resuscitated.

The quote from the Rolling Stone article is UTTERLY DAMNING…

It is just gobsmacking the utter and complete perfidy Trump had to deal with. The underhanded deals, the smug righteousness of this cadre of complete assholes, the casual disregard for the tenets of the trust that keeps a FREE PRESS FREE. They sold it all because Orange Man Bad. Crude Orange Man threatened their silver spoon world, and their casually confident machinations overturned all societal norms for honesty, ethical conduct, and faith in a democratic process.

Never again should CNN be considered a “news” organization. They have forfeited that trust. They are nothing more than a banana republic’s organ.

And Trump can say any damn thing he pleases. There is nothing so outrageous left, because Biden sits on a throne of lies, built for him by the media, and the Deep State. Every single accusation, every single conspiracy theory, has turned out to have a solid foundation. Has turned out to be even worse than the most lurid political thriller imaginable. In the most disgusting, stomach churning way imaginable. In all of Washington, there was not one safe haven for Donald Trump. The scorpions were – and still are – in every corner.

Our precious Republic means nothing to these people. Nothing.

These are the same scummy people who have lectured as you’ve lost loved ones, jobs, your very freedoms. Told you how selfish you were. How you have no right to influence your children, how you will never understand the finer nuances of this thinking so far above your head. So just take it. Trust the Experts™

They’ve damn near cost you your country. They have cost you a free and fair election. They’ll be lying on TV again tonight.

Are you mad yet?

Cancel Culture Is Wrong

But…

Whoopi Goldberg ‘livid,’ threatening to quit ‘The View’ over her suspension: source

Whoopi Goldberg is “livid” after she was suspended from “The View” over her claim that the Holocaust was “not about race” — and is telling co-workers she is going to quit the show, according to a source.

Goldberg, 66, feels “humiliated” at being disciplined by ABC execs after she followed their advice to apologize for the ill-conceived comments, a well-placed insider told The Post.

“She feels ABC executives mishandled this. She followed their playbook. She went on ‘The Late Show With Steven Colbert’ and then apologized again on ‘The View’ the next day,” a source said.

OMG THIS FEELS REALLY GREAT AND I HOPE THE ANGRY, VICIOUS FREAKING HAG LEARNS SOMETHING ABOUT BEING A DECENT HUMAN BEING EVEN THOUGH I KNOW SHE WON’T.

I’m so ashamed.

Zucker Hits Iceberg

Whoa. DOG.

Makes you kind of wonder, even though le grand fromage is claiming that his failure to communicate the tawdry details of his clandestine work relationship are behind his ouster – ‘scuse em oui, “resignation” – if, in point of fact, it wasn’t CNN’s Titanic-like TANKING ratings that took him down like a housekeeper trapped in one of the storage closets.

Couldn’t have been their sex maniac problem. That’s been going on for, like, EVER, and they even gave Groovin’ With My Tubin‘ Toobin HIS job back, so…couldn’t possibly be a “sex” thing.

Nah.

Tucker should be a hoot and a holler tonight.

Maybe CNN should adopt a corporate headquarters cat…

Thank God for the few on-air personalities like Tucker who call these beeches out for what they are.

MORE of that, please.

Oh Somehow I Don’t Think This Is The First Time

Your lips, Dr. Fauci

Fauci, speaking on Thursday at Washington National Cathedral with other top health experts on the pandemic, noted that it is a bit unfair to compare the United States’ coronavirus response with other countries. The United States isn’t an island with five million people that can easily be shut down, he notes. So suppressing and controlling the virus is a lot more of a challenge.

“I was talking with my U.K. colleagues who are saying the U.K. is similar to where we are now, because each of our countries have that independent spirit,” he said on stage. “I can understand that, but now is the time to do what you’re told.”

If You Actually Read The Report

You see what it really says, as opposed to what Our Betters assuredd us it would say

Don Cherry Fired

How dare you say such things

“You people… love our way of life, love our milk and honey. At least you could pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada.”

The Truth shall set you free…of your job, it seems.

He’s 100% correct, and so of course has to go.

I Can’t Access The Story

(it’s behind an Aussie paywall) but with a headline like this, I really don’t need to:

“Traumatic effect of beheading on boy who hid in house”

Oh Hell YES

Gibson was decided…for the Gibsons https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/06/verdict-jury-awards-gibsons-bakery-11-million-against-oberlin-college/

“The Jury in the Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College case has reached a verdict.

According to our reporter in the Courtroom, the jury awarded $11 million. Here are the details: Allyn W. Gibson was awarded $3 million, David Gibson $5.8 million, Gibson Bros. $2,274,500. Next Tuesday there will be a separate punitive damages which could be a double award (meaning tripling the $11 million to $33 million).”

This is fantastic news.

THREE YEARS of CNN’s Life

…spent spooling up lurid RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA spy fantasies, and what did it get them in return?

A recent CNN poll asked respondents to describe one issue that would be the most important to them for their 2020 vote.

The Russia investigation didn't register in the results, getting 0 percent, according to @ForecasterEnten. https://t.co/aDDRZ5KMJ8 pic.twitter.com/Ya795nH8zh

This Will Never Get Old

What an absolute unprepared idiot he is.

But hey, he has a “boo”.

“Massively Entertaining”

The HBO ads on the sides sum up the hypocrisy perfectly

This Is So Spot On

Sorry, But You’re Not “Polarizing”

You’re “pathetic.” A “parody.” A “joke”

Hillary Clinton, in an interview with a British newspaper this week, appeared to compare herself to wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill while responding to a question about being a polarizing figure.

“I’m sure they said that about Churchill between the wars, didn’t they?” she told The Guardian when asked if she should withdraw from public life to help heal divisions in the U.S., given her reputation.

The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee then immediately claimed she wasn’t actually comparing herself to Churchill, before going on to elaborate on the analogy.

Churchill went into the political wilderness between the two World Wars and during that time was a key voice criticizing then-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement toward Adolf Hitler. He would go on to become prime minister himself and help lead the Allies to victory in World War II.

The Guardian report notes that Clinton made the Churchill reference “a fraction too quickly for the line to sound spontaneous.”
Clinton continued: “I mean, I’m not comparing myself, but I’m just saying people said that, but he was right about Hitler, and a lot of people in England were wrong. And Churchill was a pain. He kept popping up all the time.”

I love the note from the Grauniad, it’s perfectly true. She has never done anything in her entire life that was spontaneous. Everything she does has been planned to move her up the power chain.

And she will never understand, and certainly never forgive, the peasants for rejecting her

“Children RIPPED FROM THEIR MOTHERS’ ARMS!!!!”

Everything is a lie with these people.

This is my shocked face

Americans’ long-running joke about a Starbucks on every corner may be nearing its end.

The coffee behemoth is retrenching in its home market as it contends with sales growth that Chief Executive Officer Kevin Johnson acknowledges isn’t fast enough. The cafe chain said Tuesday it expects comparable sales to rise just 1 percent globally for the current quarter—the worst performance in about nine years. That’s well below the 2.9 percent analysts were expecting, according to Consensus Metrix.

Starbucks also plans to close about 150 company-operated stores in densely penetrated U.S. markets next fiscal year, three times the number it historically shuts down annually. Shares initially slid as much as 6.3 percent in late trading Tuesday before inching back up. The stock was down 1.6 percent as of 5:24 p.m. in New York.

…The closing stores are often in “major metro areas where increases in wage and occupancy and other regulatory requirements” are making them unprofitable, Johnson said. “Now, in a lot of ways, it’s middle America and the South that presents an opportunity.”

As they say: go woke, go broke.

The Road To Hell

How the Government helped to pave it in Broward County

Broward County, Fla., school officials portray as a great success their Obama administration-inspired program offering counseling to students who break the law, instead of having them arrested or expelled. They insist that it played no role in February’s school massacre by Nikolas Cruz. They also claim that in fact juvenile recidivism rates are down and school safety is up, thanks to the program.
The evidence tells a far different story.

Broward County juvenile justice division records, federal studies of Broward school district safety and the district’s own internal reporting show that years of “intensive” counseling didn’t just fail to reform repeat offender Cruz, who allegedly went on to shoot and kill 17 people at his high school. Records show such policies have failed to curtail other campus violence and its effects now on the rise in district schools — including fighting, weapons use, bullying and related suicides.

Meanwhile, murders, armed robberies and other violent felonies committed by children outside of schools have hit record levels, and some see a connection with what’s happening on school grounds. Since the relaxing of discipline, Broward youths have not only brazenly punched out their teachers, but terrorized Broward neighborhoods with drive-by shootings, gang rapes, home invasions and carjackings.

Read the entire, well-documented, damning article.

And fight it tooth and nail in your town.

Commies Gonna Be Commies

Who could have imagined that the Chinese Government would fund their student groups here and provide helpful tips on what to think and how to act

When Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Washington on Sept. 24, 2015 on a state visit, hundreds of Chinese students lined the streets for hours, carrying banners and flags to welcome him. It was a remarkable display of seemingly spontaneous patriotism.
Except it wasn’t entirely spontaneous. The Chinese Embassy paid students to attend and helped organize the event. Working with Chinese Students and Scholars Associations (CSSAs) at local universities — a Chinese student organization with branches at dozens of schools around the country — government officials from the office of educational affairs at the Chinese Embassy in Washington collected the contact information of about 700 students who had signed up to attend. Embassy officials communicated with students via WeChat, a Chinese messaging app, during the event and into the night, responding to messages as late as 3 a.m.

…FP found that CSSAs regularly accept funds from their local consulates and many officially describe themselves as under the “guidance” or “leadership” of the embassy. Internal correspondence reviewed by FP also show that consular officials communicate regularly with CSSAs, dividing the groups by region and assigning each region to an embassy contact who is responsible for relaying safety information — and the occasional political directive — to chapter presidents. A few CSSAs explicitly vet their members along ideological lines, excluding those whose views do not align with Communist Party core interests.

I for one am shocked.

Shocked.

The Mote In The Eye

Reeeeeeaaaallllly blocks the vision sometimes

Our encounter changed the day for me. While I tried to dive back into my liberal podcast, my mind kept being pulled back to the gas station. I couldn’t stop thinking about the man who called himself a “redneck” who came to our rescue. I sized him up as a Trump voter, just as he likely drew inferences from my Prius and RESIST sticker. But for a moment, we were just two people and the exchange was kindness (his) and gratitude (mine).

As I drove home, I felt the full extent to which Trump has actually diminished my own desire to be kind. He is keeping me so outraged that I hold ill will toward others on a daily basis. Trump is not just ruining our nation, he is ruining me. By the end of the drive, I felt heartbroken.
