Finally the media liberals get some push-back

Disney CEO: Joy Behar Apologized Directly To VP Pence, Jemele Hill Was ‘Disciplined’  "At a Disney shareholder meeting today, CEO Bob Iger faced a tough question about the behavior of Joy Behar and also Jemele Hill. The question was asked by Justin Danhof of the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative group based in Washington, DC. Here’s a portion of Danhof’s question:

 .ESPN has seemingly become a 24/7 anti-Trump tirade network which reached its pinnacle last fall when host Jemele Hill called President Donald Trump a white supremacist. Mr.Iger, you admitted to intervening to make sure that ESPN’s leadership didn’t fire her for these defamatory remarks. What kind of message does that send to other company employees? Just last month, Hill again publicly declared that President Trump and his supporters are white supremacists. . . .

"There was some speculation last year that Iger might be hesitant to fire Hill because she had supporters on the left (including Al Sharpton) who Iger may need to court if he decided to run for president in 2020. " . . .

You Should Know Better!" Meghan McCain DESTROYS Joy Behar 

Comment: "If Meghan deserves credit for anything, it's for having the tenacity and self control to be surrounded by brain dead pirahna's. She is literally on her own, with ALL the others tag teaming against her! That speaks to the difference between the libturds and the conservatives. They (libturds) can NOT go one on one, against a conservative!"

CNN not the most respected name in news

CNN IN CRISIS? February Ratings Down 19 Percent, 16 Percent in Prime Time

"CNN loves to host entire hours devoted to a “WHITE HOUSE IN CRISIS” and touting their latest poll on Trump’s unpopularity. On Thursday, they pushed out Anthony Scaramucci insisting “MORALE IS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.” But maybe CNN should wonder if the screen ought to read “CNN IN CRISIS?” Where is their morale when they look at the ratings? Mark Joyella at Forbes reports on the latest monthly ratings: " . . . "By contrast . . ."

Trump agrees to meet Kim Jong Un, South Korean official says

Don't get your hopes up, but Trump isn't like all recent past presidents; he gets things done. TD

Trump agrees to meet Kim Jong-un by MAY: North Korean despot invites President to talks and agrees to suspend missile tests 

. . . "A statement from White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the place and time was to be determined.

" 'President Trump greatly appreciates the nice words of the South Korean delegation and President Moon. He will accept the invitation to meet with Kim Jong Un at a place and time to be determined,' Sanders said. 'We look forward to the denuclearization of North Korea. In the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain.'

"Kim sent a personal letter to the U.S. president that was delivered Thursday. 

The message was passed to the White House through a South Korean delegation which held their own talks with the dictator this week.

" 'In return, Kim is offering to suspend his nuclear missile testing program, Chung told White House officials before he briefed press from the building's North Lawn.

He had met Kim earlier in the week in Pyongyang, the dictator's capital. " . . .

Politico  "President Donald Trump has accepted an invitation by South Korea to meet directly with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, following talks between South Korea and Pyongyang, South Korea's national security adviser said on Thursday.

"North Korea also signaled that it would not test missiles anymore and would be willing to negotiate ending its nuclear weapons program, according to the national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong.

"Kim Jong Un "stressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible. President Trump appreciated the greeting and said he would meet Kim Jong Un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization," Chung said on Thursday evening outside the West Wing of the White House." . . .

SCMP reports:  Via Gateway Pundit

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may propose sending his sister, Kim Yo-jong, to the US as part of efforts to launch direct talks between Washington and Pyongyang, according to a South Korean diplomatic source.

That may be one of a number of possible messages South Korean envoy Chung Eui-yong will deliver to US National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster in Washington this week, the source told the South China Morning Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

“Kim Jong-un has a certain message, which is not publicised to be delivered directly to the Trump administration. It’s something very unconventional and something very unusual. I don’t know if the US will disclose this message to the public.”

Chung will deliver “conditions from the North Korean side to start some bilateral dialogue with the United States,” the source said.

Some deep spititual thoughts

Comedian Argus Hamilton:

The White House website received petitions requesting that Billy Graham’s birthday be named a national holiday. It’s a partisan idea of course. Republicans are terrified that when the Rapture occurs and the righteous are called to Heaven, it will leave the Democrats with a permanent majority.

Pope Francis urged the faithful Sunday to stay strong to their Lenten commitments halfway to Easter. A new race issue recently arose. There’s a new claim that Jesus was dark-skinned, based on the conclusion that if Jesus had been white, the Romans would have let him off with a warning ticket.

Feinstein: It’s ‘Too Early’ to Tell Whether Kamala Harris Would Make a Good President

Free Beacon  "Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) said in a recent piece profiling her Democratic colleague Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) that it is "too early" to tell whether the potential 2020 candidate would make a good president.

"Feinstein's remarks came in aPolitico piece published Thursday and titled, "Kamala Harris keeps 'em guessing." The piece reflects on Harris' first year in the Senate and how she has become a rising star in the Democratic party, describing the senator as a "serious-minded lawmaker" and as someone who "bones up on policy and can engage on substance."

"While the junior senator from California has been floated as a potential 2020 contender since early 2017, Feinstein said it is "too early" for her to say whether her colleague would be a good president. She called Harris her "good friend" and said she would like to see her stick around the Senate because "there’s a certain degree of staying power" required to succeed there." . . .

Media Fight For Democrats In Washington Leak Wars

Der MeisterLeeker

DonkeyHotey

Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist

Reporters are hostile to even the notion of Republican leaks, but remarkably incurious about the actual Democratic deluge of leaks.

. . . "It is a weird thing to watch the media uncritically receive and regurgitate dozens of leaks — all of them out of context, some of them downright false — from Rep. Adam Schiff and his team and then write up that the other side is leaking. This is particularly bizarre given the general lack of leaks coming from House Permanent Select Committee Republicans. At the very least it’s worth noting that there were no leaks from Intelligence Committee Republicans about their 4-page memo alleging FISA abuses, even as the agencies and Democrats on the committee put out anticipatory leaks to cushion the blow from that memo. In fact, they leaked to … Nicholas Fandos.

"Here are four other examples of serious, if deceptive, leaks from Schiff and the Democrats he oversees.

1) Selective Leak Of Stone-Wikileaks Texts

I’m not sure how much of this is sloppy and credulous reporting vs. sloppy leaking by Team Schiff, but last week Natasha Bertrand of The Atlantic wrote about a leak from Democrats on the Intelligence Committee of direct Twitter messages between Wikileaks and former Trump advisor Roger Stone. The actual texts depicted Wikileaks telling Stone to stop falsely claiming that they’d been communicating. Bertrand framed it exactly the opposite — that the texts actually provided smoking gun proof that Wikileaks and Roger Stone were plotting to steal an election.  . . .

Most of fhose getting laid off will continue to vote for Democrats because, well, "Democrats care for people like me". How's that working out for you?

McDonald’s Announces Its Answer to $15 an Hour Minimum Wage – Touch-Screen Cashiers

. . . "This is exactly what the left pushed for… Fast food chains were never meant to be a place for someone to raise a family of 6, they were to be part time positions with some full-time advancements. Mostly the fast food restaurants were for school aged kids to learn how to interact with people, with a job, to offer spending money, and to begin responsibility learning for their future."The part time position was not intended to pay for a house, it is a stepping stone to move on.
"$15.00/hr x 8 hrs= $120/day x 5 days= $600/week x 52 weeks = $31,200/year!!"Of course when this happens, like it did today in Los Angeles, the poor and unskilled workers will go on Welfare, and cost American workers more to support them."McDonald’s recently came out with their answer to those that want $15/hr pay.Robots."This month in Europe McDonald’s hired 7,000 touch-screen cashiers."

Burger robot takes flight in $15 minimum wage state  "One of California's most beloved fast-food joints has enlisted the services of a burger-flipping robot as the state moves toward a $15 minimum wage.
"CaliBurger customers will now enjoy the hamburgers prepared by robots named
"Flippy" at its Pasadena location, and it plans to roll out the machine across the franchise. The Miso Robotics creation is capable of churning out 150 burgers an hour using "3D, thermal, and regular vision" to monitor the cooking of CaliBurger's "signature always fresh, never frozen, mouth-watering Cali-style burger." The burger chain calls the robot "the future of food." " . . .

Democrats like to blame anything but their high taxes and regulations for slow economic growth. Today, the culprit is robots.

"These inaccurate, made up predictions remind me of all the made up, inaccurate predictions on global warming or climate change.  When there is an agenda, facts take a back seat. "

Thanks a lot, Bernie

Rick Moran: Innovation in fast food industry making 'Fight for Fifteen' irrelevant  . . . "It's what happens when you completely divorce the cost of labor from the value an employee contributes to a company's operation.  Burger flippers and drive-through window attendants are just not worth $15 an hour to a company's bottom line.  That simple, basic Economics 101 concept is lost on the naïve fast food workers who are oblivious to the fact that a machine can outperform them and has the advantage of never talking back to the boss, is never sick or late, and will work just as hard at the beginning of a shift as at the end.

"It's ironic that in pressing for unrealistic wages, fast food workers have spurred companies to innovate.  In effect, they've worked to end their own jobs."

A Missouri police officer who was shot and killed while responding to a 911 call had been sent to the wrong house

UK Daily Mail  . . . "Officer Christopher Ryan Morton, 30, died. Officer Nathan Bettencourt was in stable condition Wednesday. The third officer, Nicholas Kasper, was treated for gunshot wounds and released Wednesday.

"After the officers were shot, a SWAT team entered the house and found Waters dead. Investigators have not determined if he shot himself or was killed by the officers, Lowe said.

"Scanner audio captured the shootout. According to The Kansas City Star, Morton can be heard saying: 'I'm hit multiple times. One left arm. Both legs. The chest, the vest.'

"Another officer can hear saying: 'Morton, stay with us. Stay with us Morton.' " . . .

. . . 'It is a coincidence they were called to that specific address,' Lowe said. 'It is tragic that happened. But the fact is they were in the act of committing crimes within that house. When (the officers) entered that house they were doing what they needed to ensure no one was hurt and there wasn't any other problems.' "

Just one more "pig in a blanket".
