CNN’s lone conservative voice, Scott Jennings, strikes again. "Lonely Scott" (Bill Maher)

CNN’s Scott Jennings Mocks the Left for Endless False Narrative About ‘Literally Hitler’ . . .

Newly Unearthed Video Shows Hitler Did The Trump Dance

Babylon Bee toon added by Tunnel Dweller.

. . ."He singled out Joe Scarborough and Mika of Morning Joe, who recently met with Trump after warning for months that he was a fascist and the end of democracy.

"FOX News reports:

CNN pundit mocks liberals for friendly meetings with Trump after endless attacks on ‘literal Hitler’

Following news that Trump held a meeting with MSNBC co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough this week, and Trump’s cordial summit with President Biden at the White House last week, Jennings remarked on the about-face, considering both the pundits and president have consistently labeled him a fascist threat.

“I‘m amazed. I did not expect Hitler to get so many meeting requests, first from Joe Biden, now from Mika and Joe,” Jennings told a panel on “CNN NewsNight” Monday evening.

“It‘s amazing that literal Hitler is getting all these meeting requests,” he added with a wry smile on his face. He went on to say these examples of diplomacy with Trump prove that prominent liberals defrauded Democratic voters with their rhetoric on Trump being a dictator, including on “Morning Joe.”

“And what it tells me, professor,” he said to fellow panelist Jeff Jarvis, “is that all the rhetoric that came from the left, from the Democrats, from the White House, from Kamala Harris and everyone else before the election, all of the rhetoric – the fascism, the Hitler, the Nazi rally – it was all a bunch of BS. They didn‘t mean any of it.”

"Watch the video, this is great: 

Scott Jennings on CNN defended Hegseth, saying, “He's got 20 years in service. Afghanistan, Iraq. Two bronze stars. Princeton, Harvard. Yeah, he’s on TV, but so are the rest of us.”

The network is dumping its $20 million-a-year anchor, Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper. Looks like they are prepping Jennings for his own show.

‘Sounds Like Peter Strzok’: Jordan Grills FEMA Director Over Text Message Telling Workers To Avoid Trump Supporters

 Daily Caller
. . .“The text message said: implement best practices like — this is the best practices, we’re gonna implement them and they talk about making sure you go in pairs or with more than one person, avoid the Trump homes, drink your water, take your towel, coconut water.”



"Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio compared a text message allegedly sent to disaster relief workers to comments by disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok Tuesday while questioning Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Deanne Criswell about a directive to skip houses whose residents advertised their support for President-elect Donald Trump.

The text message, reportedly sent by former FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance crew leader Marn’i Washington, listed a series of “best practices” that included avoiding “homes advertising Trump signs.” Jordan pressed Criswell about the message, putting it on screen during a House Oversight Committee hearing. (RELATED: Harris Faulkner Shuts Down Dem Who Immediately Tries To Pivot Away From Biden-Harris Hurricane Response)

“She said it’s common practice, you said it’s reprehensible and isolated. Both statements can’t be true, so someone’s not giving us the facts and I’m trying to figure out who’s not telling the truth,” Jordan told Criswell, who said the agency was investigating.

After Jordan pressed Criswell about another FEMA employee saying Washington had to have been given those instructions by superiors, he turned to the text message." . . .

. . ."“You know what it sounds like? It sounds like Peter Strzok … when he said ‘I just went into Walmart, I can smell the Trump supporters.’ It sounds like Joe Biden when he said all the ‘garbage’ I see is the Trump supporters out there,” Jordan said. “It sounds like the guy the Democrats had, the professor the Democrats had testify back in 2019 in the impeachment — conservatives, ‘especially very conservative people, tend to spread out,’ perhaps because they ‘don’t even want to be around themselves.'”

Does Biden want to force Trump into a grovel relationship with Putin

How can such a silly people cause so much damage to those they hate? TD

Deep State Invites Nuclear War 

. . ."In 2022 Biden’s hapless Secretary of Defense blurted out, “We want to see Russia weakened.” Now Democrats are putting Americans and our allies in harm’s way by provoking Russia to counterattack with missiles of its own, for a war that nearly everyone admits cannot be won." . . .

 Ukraine: The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv received specific information of a potential significant air attack on Nov 20. The Embassy will be closed and recommends U.S. citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced. ow.ly/IbBT50UaBYV   Travel - State Dept


Ukraine Launches First Missile Attack Using New Authority From Biden, Putin Responds in Typical Putin Way   "Ukraine launched an attack on a Russian munitions depot overnight using an ATACMS tactical ballistic missile. According to reports in Forbes Ukraine and RBC Ukraine, citing unnamed sources, the attack on the Karachev logistics center in Bryansk Oblast marks the first use of ATACMS on Russian territory and took place only a day after Biden finally permitted US weapons to be used on strikes inside Russia (see Lame-Duck Biden Announces Major Ukraine Policy Shift Just Weeks Before Trump Takes Over). Karachev is over 80 miles inside Russia and was previously hit by Ukrainian drones." . . . 

Biden behind closed doors   "David Milstein observes on X that the Biden-Harris administration has “engaged in unprecedented pressure and undermined Israel’s important military operations at virtually every step of the way.” Here are excerpts of what Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said yesterday in the Knesset as reported in a characteristically hostile Times of Israel story, this one by Lazar Berman:

Speaking nearly two weeks after the US election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly criticized the Biden administration’s judgment and policies at major junctions in Israel’s ongoing war against Iran and its proxies.

“The US had reservations and suggested that we not enter Gaza,” said Netanyahu. “It had reservations about entering Gaza City, Khan Younis, and, most critically, strongly opposed entry into Rafah.”

* * * * *

“President Biden told me that if we go in, we will be alone,” Netanyahu said in the Knesset plenum. “He also said that he would stop shipments of important weapons to us. And so he did. A few days later, [US Secretary of State Antony] Blinken appeared and repeated the same things and I told him — we will fight with our nails.” . . .

. . ." Netanyahu also criticized US positions after Iran’s drone and missile attacks on Israel: “Again, we were told by our friend that there is no need to respond. And I said that sitting and not reacting is not acceptable, and we responded.”

"The prime minister said that the Israeli response last month took out air defense batteries and “inflicted real damage on Iran’s ballistic missile production capability,” as well as targeting its nuclear program." . . .

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, please protect your people from the evil ones who hate Israel, and the evil ones who are little more than silly. TD

The Babylon Bee's Foray Into Bluesky Gets Started off on Hilariously Predictable Note

Sister Toldjah

"But conservatives moved to those platforms because Twitter was censoring them, and they wanted free speech. These leftists are migrating to Bluesky because they're tired of all that free speech exposing them to ideas they don't like."

RedState


"It never fails. After leftists lose big either at the ballot box, on Twitter/X, or via a court ruling, among the first things some of them announce in rather dramatic fashion is that they are headed for what they assume are greener pastures at another social media platform.

"We've seen them venture off to Mastodon, Threads, and now the Next Big Thing: Bluesky, where media figures and woketivists alike have fled.

"As my colleague Brandon Morse has documented, however, their migration to Bluesky has not gone very well so far, with snowflake users there reportedly sending "over 42,000 reports for harmful content in 24 hours, coming out to 3,000 reports an hour." 

"Further, as Brandon observed, users are "so intent on making sure their little bubbles stay intact that they're mass-blocking people without warning, and oftentimes without double-checking who they're blocking first."

So while it should come as no surprise to anyone, it's nevertheless hilarious to see how The Babylon Bee's adventure to Bluesky has gone so far.

"The Bee's editor-in-chief, Kyle Mann, shared this screengrab on Twitter/X:"  . . .

Restoring Deterrence Will Prevent Endless Wars

 Victor Davis Hanson

 Trump will have to speak clearly and softly while carrying a club. And for the first few months of his administration, he will be tested as never before to make it clear to Iran and its terrorist surrogates, China, North Korea, and Russia, that aggression against U.S. interests will be swiftly and quietly met with disproportionate and overwhelming repercussions.

 . . ."Yet in a second Trump administration, rethreading the deterrence needle without getting into major wars may become far more challenging. The world of today is far more dangerous than when Trump left in 2021.

"An inept Biden administration has utterly destroyed U.S. deterrence abroad through both actual and symbolic disasters: the Chinese dressing down of U.S. diplomats in Anchorage; the humiliating skedaddle from Afghanistan; the brazen flight of a Chinese spy balloon across the U.S.; the invasion of Ukraine by Russia; the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre of 1,200 Israelis; the serial Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea; the visible restraint of Israel from fully replying to Iranian missile attacks on its homeland; and renewed bellicosity on the part of both North Korea and China toward American allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

"Of course, a second-term Trump must radically reform the Pentagon and beef up the military while warning enemies of the consequences to follow from any unwise aggression.

"But if opponents believe such admonitions remain only vocal threats, then empty verbiage surely will erode deterrence further—such as President Joe Biden’s serial and empty braggadocio, “Don’t!”

"Biden’s past theatrical finger-shaking translated into aggressors like Russian President Vladimir Putin going into Ukraine, Iran sending missiles into Israel, and the Houthis serially hitting shipping in the Red Sea.

"Given the past messes of the Iraqi, Libyan, and Syrian interventions, and the catastrophic Biden humiliation in Afghanistan, Trump in 2024 is much more emphatic about the need to avoid such overseas dead-end entanglements or even the gratuitous use of force that historically can sometimes lead to tit-for-tat entanglements." . . .

How High Does The FEMA Scandal Go?

I & I Editorial Board   

"We saw the same thing play out with the Russiagate scandal, where the public was repeatedly assured that the FBI had done everything by the book only to learn that there was a collaborative effort to use the law enforcement division to target President Donald Trump."

Image courtesy of Gary Branfman.

"Until the Daily Wire uncovered concrete evidence that the Federal Emergency Management Administration was telling relief workers to avoid Trump-supporting homes, the press was happy to take FEMA’s word and debunk accusations of political favoritism.

Now that the FEMA employee at the center of the current scandal is saying that she’s a scapegoat and that the problem is far deeper and wider, will the mainstream press ignore this too?

In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, FEMA came under attack for its seemingly sluggish response to devastation in heavily Republican areas of the Southeast.

Poppycock, responded the press, regurgitating talking points from the agency.

But then the Daily Wire got hold of messages from a FEMA supervisor telling workers to “avoid homes advertising Trump” in Lake Placid, Florida, when going door to door to find those who qualified for financial aid. It also had screenshots of reports from workers saying they were “not able to access property,” with a note “Trump sign, no contact, per leadership.”

FEMA issued a response and fired the supervisor, saying her actions were in violation of the agency’s “core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation.”

And that is where the mainstream press is happy to let the story rest.

But the FEMA supervisor, Marn’i Washington, isn’t going gently into that good night. She says she’s being made the scapegoat.

“FEMA’s very well aware of the incidents that take place, not just with my crew, but with all the crews in the states,” Washington said on a podcast. “This is not isolated. This is a colossal event of avoidance.”

She said the agency lied when it claimed she’d acted on her own, and that her supervisor approved the message.

And the New York Post reported . . .

Ukraine Reportedly Carries Out First Strike Inside Russian Territory Using US-Made Long-Range Missiles — Russia Warns of Nuclear Retaliation

Ukraine Reportedly Carries Out First Strike Inside Russian Territory Using US-Made Long-Range Missiles — Russia Warns of Nuclear Retaliation    "The escalation of the war in Ukraine has reached peak level, as Ukraine is reported to have launched western missiles at a target inside Russia, a move that can lead to a potential nuclear retaliation by Moscow.

"The first Ukrainian strike targeted the border region of Bryansk in Russia, and it comes just as President Vladimir Putin updated the nuclear doctrine greatly expanding the conditions for using atomic weapons.

"Ukrainian forces fired six ATACMS missiles at a facility in the Russian Bryansk region, the Russian Defense Ministry said." . . .

Hence Biden's smile when greeting Mr. Trump?

Broc Smith

. . . "Earlier, Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces had destroyed 12 Ukrainian drones over the Bryansk region early Tuesday.

"The attack came as Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a warning to the United States as he signed a law Tuesday allowing for a nuclear strike in retaliation for a long-range missile attack.

"The updated doctrine, which lowers the threshold for a nuclear strike, comes just days after the Biden administration reportedly granted Ukraine permission to use US-supplied weapons to strike deep into Russia’s Kursk region." . . .

Ukraine’s use of US long-range missiles has sparked fears of World War III.

. . ."Sources indicated that Kyiv planned to begin such strikes in the coming days.

"Russian lawmakers were quick to slam Washington’s policy reversal in the Ukraine-Russia conflict and accused Biden of recklessness.

“ 'This is a very big step towards the start of World War III,” said Vladimir Dzhabarov, first deputy head of the Russian upper house’s international affairs committee, according to Russia’s Tass news agency."

PA Supreme Court Unanimously Shuts Down Illegal Vote Counting in McCormick-Casey Race

 Debra Heine

 “ 'We just confirmed with our attorneys that the Bucks County Board of Elections will comply with todays PA Supreme Court Order will not count undated and misdated ballots and these votes will be removed from the County’s vote totals,” the Bucks County GOP posted on X."

 "The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday affirmed its previous ruling that counties may not count mail-in and absentee ballots that have missing or incorrect dates or signatures, and  intervened to immediately exclude misdated and undated ballots from the count. The ruling comes amid an ongoing automatic recount in the razor-close race between Republican Senator Elect David McCormick and Democrat incumbent Senator Bob Casey.

“ 'It was a 7-0 decision not to count the votes that Casey and his D allies tried to slip through,” noted former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer on X. “This is a sad way for Senator Casey to end his career. He should have spoken out against this. So too should Governor Shapiro.”

" 'Several Democrat-controlled elections boards had defied the previous ruling, counting hundreds of such ballots in recent days. Philadelphia, Montgomery and Bucks counties voted last week to count the illegal ballots.

"During a meeting last Thursday, Bucks County commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia (D) argued that “precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. For me if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it.”

"McCormick and the RNC filed an emergency petition with the state Supreme Court last week to stop the counties from counting the illegal ballots.

"Justice David Wecht rebuked the Dem-led election boards, stating in the terse opinion that “it is critical to the rule of law that individual counties and municipalities and their elected and appointed officials, like any other parties, obey orders of this Court.' ” . . .

Illegal vote-counting continues in Pennsylvania, and even the Democrat governor calls out the cheating   . . . "When will the media and other Democrats come out and tell sanctuary cities and states that they must follow all federal immigration laws? The answer is never, because they pick and choose which laws they want to follow.

"Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, and the entire Biden administration never thought immigration laws that Congress passed applied to them. They openly violated their oaths of office, and most of the media cheered.

"Democrat governors are bragging about how they will not cooperate with the federal government to enforce immigration laws with Trump’s looming second presidency, and I haven't heard the media or other Democrats lecture them about following laws. It is a shame they care so little about citizens.

"Biden also never cared about the Constitution or the Supreme Court when he dictatorially used taxpayer funds to pay off student loans. He bragged about defying the courts." . . .

The joyous ‘Trump Dance’ sweeps America and the world

"Trump’s been doing the dance for years, but it’s never caught on...until now, when he had the greatest comeback in modern political history and did so as America seemed poised to circle the drain a few more times and then vanish with a giant sucking sound. . . ."

Rich Terrell

Andrea Widburg   "In the 1990s, I attended a younger colleague’s wedding. My popular music tastes developed during the late 1970s and early 1980s, so the DJ’s rap music left me cold—but none of the other guests, no matter how young, were dancing either. Then, the DJ put on “YMCA,” and the room erupted. It is the ultimate happy dance song.

"So, what happens when you combine “YMCA” with Donald Trump’s unique take on the dance? You have a worldwide phenomenon, a joyous ‘Trump Dance’ sensation that sees people visibly celebrate the spontaneous feeling of relief (experienced even by those who can’t admit it) that the dark days of Biden are over and we are on the verge of great and good changes. And yes, people often do the dance acapella (e.g., the athletes), but when there’s music involved, it’s always “YMCA.”

"We’re all familiar with that cute little dance Trump does when the music plays at his rallies—it’s the piston-pumping arms and the ever-so-slight, classily restrained hip wiggle. Sometimes, he ends with a golf swing. You can see it in your mind as I read these words, right?" . . .

Clueless Obama Has ‘No Idea How We Got so Toxic and Just so Divided and so Bitter’

Obama's biographer reveals ex-president fears for his legacy after 'tone-deaf preaching' harmed Harris campaign 

Shortly after her defeat, he made a statement about "headwinds" doing Kamala in, and later, aides spoke her mistakes, while ignoring Obama's, such as hectoring black men to vote for Harris, which seems to have actually driven black male voters to Trump. Michelle hectored voters as racists, too, no doubt driving away even more voters:

"Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have been slammed by his biographer for 'talking down' to voters in 'tone-deaf and clueless' preaching that harmed Kamala Harris' ill-fated presidential campaign.

"The effect was so bad that – combined with Donald Trump's victory – it is likely to reduce the 44th president's political relevance to 'Bill Clinton levels', David Garrow said in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com.

" 'People do not want to be talked down to, no matter who they are,' the 71-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner said.

" 'I thought it was tone-deaf and clueless for them to preach as they did,' he told DailyMail.com.

" 'I would expect that perception will be shared by lots of people. If so, I think it reduces their relevance to Bill Clinton territory.' " . . .

When love congeals: Obama reportedly not taking Kamala's phone calls now

That's sad stuff, and Harris, who's just as nasty and conniving as they are, but probably not as clever, probably knew it. These people don't have friends, they have rivals, prey, and roadkill. They're all a bag of snakes, and any Democrat without the deliverables turns into their mouse supper.

"Democrats are quite a bag of snakes, lovin' their candidates in victory, and pretending they ever heard of them in defeat.

"So, with the presidential defeat of Kamala Harris after a costly, hard-fought campaign, the Obamas reportedly aren't taking her phone calls.

"The reports on Twitter suggest this going on:

"What a wretched story. A whirlwind campaign, an Obama endorsement, a feisty debate, a billion spent, celebrity endorsements galore, Kamala $20 million in the hole, and he's not speaking to her now." . . .

Clueless Obama Has ‘No Idea How We Got so Toxic and Just so Divided and so Bitter’   "While campaigning for Kamala Harris in Wisconsin on Tuesday, former President Barack Obama wondered aloud how the country has become so ‘toxic, divided, and bitter,’ proving once again that self-awareness has never been one of his strong suits.

"Laying aside the fact that Democrats are worried enough about Wisconsin to get Obama to leave his luxurious compound on Martha’s Vineyard, it’s amazing to see the return of Obama the scold, once again disappointed in the country that elected him president. Twice." . . .

Melania Trump will again be the First Lady of the United States — and perhaps, this time, the media will treat her as such.

 Joel B. Pollak; Breitbart News

"Twice failed presidential candidate and former first lady Hillary Clinton made the cover while her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was in office, and Michelle Obama was featured on the cover three times when she was the first lady, People documented. Hegseth noted that Jill Biden made the cover five months into Joe Biden’s presidency, and so did Vice President Kamala Harris before assuming office." . . . 


"Not one magazine bothered to feature Mrs. Trump on its cover during President Donald Trump’s entire first term, despite her philanthropic work on the “Be Best” anti-bullying campaign, and despite her long and storied career as a cover model (née Melania Knauss) in high demand before her husband entered the political fray.

"Breitbart News was the only outlet to feature the First Lady, frequently noting her fashion choices, which were often inspired and original. In contrast, the media had gushed over First Lady Michelle Obama’s outfits — which, while occasionally interesting, were often perceived by the public as garish. The media also fêted Obama and First Lady Jill Biden, with Vogue featuring the current First Lady days after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.

"Melania Trump called out the media’s bias in an interview in 2022, as Breitbart News noted at the time:

Trump’s comments came during an interview with Fox and Friends Weekend’s Pete Hegseth, in which he pointed out that the last three first ladies who were the wives of Democratic presidents had made the cover during their respective tenures in the White House. A clip of the interview was shared on Twitter by former Florida prosecutor Ron Filipkowski.    Full Article here...
