Jimmy Kimmel No Longer the ‘Moral Conscience of America’...including GOP voters especially

Legal Insurrection

"Jimmy Kimmel is pulling the same old trick Jon Stewart used for years. When discussing a topic like healthcare or gun control, he’s a serious policy wonk. When something comes up that’s inconvenient or embarrassing to Democrats, hey – he’s just a TV host.

"That’s basically how Kimmel defended his lack of interest in the Harvey Weinstein scandal during an interview with Good Morning America.

Jimmy Kimmel Defends Lack of Harvey Weinstein Jokes: I’m Not the ‘Moral Conscience of America’

After he spoke out so forcefully on both health care and gun control over the past month, many late-night viewers might have expected Jimmy Kimmel do the same about the sexual harassment and assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein. When he didn’t, Kimmel’s right-wing critics — including Donald Trump Jr. — were quick to accuse him of liberal bias. Was he protecting the Democratic donor and his fellow “Hollywood elite” in a way he would never do for Donald Trump?

Kimmel pushed back hard on those assertions on Friday during an interview with Good Morning America’s Amy Robach to promote his upcoming week of Brooklyn tapings, during which he also welcomed the idea of having President Trump on his show. “Maybe this is crazy, but I feel like I could turn him around on a couple of things,” he said…

“First of all, the Harvey Weinstein thing, people like this false equivalence of that’s somehow equivalent to what happened in Las Vegas,” Kimmel added, arguing that the alleged assault of dozens of women does not deserve the same reaction as the killing of nearly 60 people. He said that Weinstein is “not a friend of mine,” adding, “I’m not in the movie business.” As a once and future Oscar host who is friends with many of the movie stars in Weinstein’s orbit, that claim is a hard one to buy. . . .

Defending Free Speech From Educrats and Black Lives Matter

The American Spectator

An outrage at Texas Southern only Gov. Abbott can repair.

TSU President Austin Lane

"The president of a state university here in Houston stormed into a classroom where a conservative state lawmaker was attempting to give a speech Monday and shut the event down.

"Now Gov. Greg Abbott needs to shut him down.

"No sensible person approves of this wave of anti-conservative censorship sweeping across campuses, but there’s often little that decent folks can do about it, short of filing lawsuits, as it’s usually taking place on especially leftist campuses. In Texas, though, we have no reason to tolerate this betrayal of first principles.

"Our governor’s office has little formal power, but one of the powers it does have is appointing university board members. Former Gov. Rick Perry knew how to leverage this authority to push for reform.

"Abbott knows his power, too, but the problem is that he has replaced Perry’s reform-minded conservative board members — at least at the University of Texas — with cronies more interested in preserving the status quo, from affirmative action to obscene Title IX policies to backdoor admissions practices that benefit themselves and their clique.

"I don’t know the people Abbott has appointed to the board of Texas Southern University, scene of this outrage, or if he is even interested in conducting the affairs of any board other than UT’s, but I do know he can use his influence to make it clear that censorship is utterly unacceptable at public universities in Texas.

"Those members of the board of this historically black college who actually believe in freedom, academic or otherwise, needn’t wait for Abbott’s prompting. The scene that took place Monday should never be repeated.

"State Rep. Briscoe Cain had been invited to give a talk to a student chapter of the Federalist Society on the recent special session of the state legislature.

"Students representing Black Lives Matter marched into the lecture hall at Texas Southern University and began shouting Cain down before his talk had even started, shamelessly accusing him of racism, Klan affiliation, and other invented nonsense." . . .

FBI Finds 30 Pages of Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Meeting Documents – Wants Six Weeks to Turn Over Docs

It was mostly "how's the kids?" and "you're looking good these days".

Star Tribune

Judicial Watch  "Judicial Watch was informed yesterday by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that the FBI has located 30 pages of documents related to the June 27, 2016, tarmac meeting between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton, and proposes non-exempt material be produced no later than November 30, 2017 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:16-cv-02046)).

The new documents are being sent to Judicial Watch in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to comply with a July 7, 2016, FOIA request seeking the following:

• All FD-302 forms prepared pursuant to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server during her tenure.
• All records of communications between any agent, employee, or representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding, concerning, or related to the aforementioned investigation. This request includes, but is not limited to, any related communications with any official, employee, or representative of the Department of Justice, the Executive Office of the President, the Democratic National Committee, and/or the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.
• All records related to the meeting between Attorney General Lynch and former President Bill Clinton on June 27, 2016.

"The FBI originally informed Judicial Watch they did not locate any records related to the tarmac meeting.  However, in a related case, the Justice Department located emails in which Justice Department officials communicated with the FBI and wrote that they had communicated with the FBI.  As a result, by letter dated August 10, 2017, from the FBI stated, “Upon further review, we subsequently determined potentially responsive documents may exist. As a result, your [FOIA] request has been reopened…”

"(Surprisingly, the Trump Justice Department refuses to disclose the talking points developed by the Obama Justice Department to help it respond to press inquiries about the controversial June 27, 2016, tarmac meeting between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.)

"On June 27, 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton on board a parked private plane at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona. The meeting occurred during the then-ongoing investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s email server, and mere hours before the Benghazi report was released publicly involving both Mrs. Clinton and the Obama administration. Judicial Watch filed a request on June 30 that the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General investigate that meeting." . . .

As Sex Abuse Rocks Tinseltown, Kim Dotcom Reveals Plan to Take Down Elite Hollywood Pedophiles

The Free Thought Project

It is time to let this instance shine a light into the darkness of Hollywood—instead of serving as a distraction from the rest of the atrocious crimes.

. . . "While looking through the replies to his request for someone to build a website to document abuse, it appears that there are several people willing to accomplish this task. Now, the only hard part is getting the victims to come forward. When a victim comes forward, they are normally tarred and feathered in the mainstream media and made to look like fools. Even when their stories are corroborated by others, nothing happens to those responsible.

“ 'That’s the tragedy of attempting to reveal what is happening to innocent people,” he said. “They can be squashed but their lives have been irreparably damaged.”Wood is referring to the immense power of Hollywood elites to control the narrative and quash any allegations of abuse before they even happen.This narrative is so controlled that after Wood made these comments, the very next day the mainstream media attacked him and forced him to downplay them.

In the video below, we can see Barbara Walters scold Feldman for attempting to call out Hollywood’s pedophilia problem on The View." . . .

. . . On Sunday, reporter Sharon Waxman wrote a piece for The Wrap that said that the New York Times had quashed her investigation into Weinstein’s sexual misconduct back in 2004." . . .
