Poll: Plurality Think David Hogg’s Call To Boycott Ingraham’s Show Was Inappropriate

Allahpundit


" . . ."A confession of my political naivete: I thought Hogg’s own personal favorability might be (somewhat) immune from standard left-right divisions on guns. He’s been extremely nasty to gun-rights advocates at times but he is in fact a kid and a survivor of a very recent mass shooting. Does he get an allowance from the public for that? Turns out … no, not really:"
. . . 
"If Rupert Murdoch wants Ingraham on the air next week, Ingraham will be on the air next week. In lieu of an exit question, here’s a Stoneman Douglas student whom the vast, vast majority of Americans haven’t heard of. Meet Anthony Borges, who was in class on February 14 when the shooting began and concluded that the only way to keep the shooter out was to barricade the door — with his own body. The shooter did indeed try to enter that room but couldn’t get in, thanks to Borges. Borges was shot five times and needed nine surgeries, but he survived. So did the 20 other people who were in the room with him, saved by his own bravery. Here’s the GoFundMe page for his family. Savor this clip, as you’re not apt to see much more of him on cable news unless he has some hot takes about the NRA being child-killers." . . .

Pelosi: Democrats Will Repeal the GOP Tax Law When We Retake the House

Weasel Zippers


"They’re coming for your money. Just another reason to vote against them.
Via NTK:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that Democrats would indeed repeal the GOP tax law if they are successful in retaking the House of Representatives this November during a town hall on Wednesday.
The moderator of the event asked Pelosi if Democrats would re-write the tax bill from scratch or focus on reversing specific elements.
“One of our complaints about what they did with the tax bill is they did it in the dark of night with the speed of light,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi then declared that Democrats will win back the House in 2018, and after they do, they will work with Republicans to create a new tax bill.

“We’ll sit down at the table and say … what would be a tax bill that creates growth, that creates good paying jobs as it reduces the deficit?” Pelosi said. “It’s not about chipping at this piece or that piece, it’s about a comprehensive look at what our tax policy should be for the future.' ”

Central American invasion turned back?


Don Surber . . . "This nomination does not quite qualify for the Don't-Feud-With-Donald-Or-You'll-Feel-The-Trump-Effect.
"This was better.
"The Ship of Fools who were to be a caravan of illegal immigrants headed for our southern border did not liberalize our already weak border security, but helped President Trump secure our borders.
"The Mexican government decided to call it off.
" 'A caravan of Central American migrants whose trek across Mexico infuriated President Donald Trump has decided not to travel to the US border, leaders said Tuesday," Agence France Presse reported.
"Irineo Mujica, the head of People Without Borders, told AFP, "We will wrap up our work in Mexico City.' " . . .


Donald Trump Thanks Mexico for Breaking up Immigration Caravan
. . . "Although the caravan has broken up, many of the participants still plan to make their way to the United States.
"The president spent days focused on the caravan, disturbed that the United States law allowing “catch and release” would allow many of the illegal immigrants crossing the border to stay." . . .
Thomas LifsonHow Trump beat the left at its own game with the caravan to our border  "Make no mistake: President Trump has vanquished an open borders propaganda operation and beaten the left at its own game.  With the announcement by Pueblo Sin Fronteras that the caravan it organized from Central America to the U.S. border will end in Mexico City, the humiliation is palpable.  You can tell by the denial of the obvious reality:
Fearful of the risks to children among the bedraggled and tired knot of travelers, the organizers of the annual caravan, U.S.-based advocacy group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, said it would end in the capital, not at the border as had been planned.
"It's not because of Donald Trump," said Irineo Mujica, director of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which has staged the caravan since 2010 to draw attention to migrants' rights and help them.
Mujica said the group did not want to put children on freight trains, which are traditionally used to cover part of the journey to the border.  Nicknamed "la bestia" (the beast), the train is infamous for causing injury to migrants.
"All of a sudden, after years of annual treks, they realize that it is too hazardous, and it has nothing to do with Trump.  This is pathetic!" . . .

Hillary is Complaining Again, This Time It's About Fox News. What, exactly, IS her mental state?

Katie Pavlich
Wait! Could this be...yes, it is! It's a Nazi salute! See for yourself! TD

Hillary is Complaining Again, This Time It's About Fox News

"Hillary Clinton is at it again and seems to have no plans to get off her world wide excuses tour.
"During an event with the women's organization "The Wing" this week in New York City, twice failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton complained about Fox News "trying to impeach her."
" 'Fox News is always trying impeach me. So, somebody needs to tell them that doesn't apply to a private citizen," Clinton said." . . .


No such thing as bad publicity, Fox.



Monica Showalter asks: Is Hillary Clinton going insane?. . . "Yes, it's disappointing to lose an election you thought you had in the bag. But what we are seeing here is someone at this late date who is unable to move on at all. She has no hobbies, no law firm to return to, no teaching posts to embrace, no office to run for. And with Bill in Little Rock with all those reputed honeys, it must be stagnant and lonely. Obviously, her entire life was about politics and when she lost the election, she was left with nothing. Now, she makes her living on making controversial statements and cheering on establishments such as the Manhattan club for women.
"This doesn't sound healthy for her."

If Fox News' Laura Ingraham Goes Down for 'Bullying,' You're Next!


Larry Elder  ". . . "Referring to Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and money contributed to him by the National Rifle Association, Hogg said: "What about the $176,000 you took for those 17 people's blood?"
"But Ingraham is a "bully"?
"Now does this "Ingraham Standard" apply to, say, CNN's Anderson Cooper? Frustrated at what he perceived as his guest's blind defense of President Donald Trump, Cooper said, "If (Trump) took a dump on his desk, you would defend him." Cooper apologized, but, then, so did Ingraham.
"What about Time Warner's "Real Time With Bill Maher" show on HBO? Here are some of Maher's greatest hits on conservative women:
Sarah Palin is a C-word — an offensive slang word for female genitalia.Sarah Palin is a "dumb t—-," using a derisive slang word for female genitalia.Sarah Palin's son, who has Down syndrome, is "retarded."Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are "two bimbos."

"The Rev. Al Sharpton, an MSNBC host, has an exhaustive list of offensive, incendiary, anti-Semitic comments. At a rally in Harlem in 1991, Sharpton said, "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." A few days later, a 7-year-old black boy was accidentally hit and killed by a car driven by a Jew in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, New York. Immediately after the young boy's death, three days of anti-Semitic rioting ensued in Crown Heights, where two people died and almost 200 were wounded. Surrounded by a mob yelling, "Kill the Jew!" a young Talmudic scholar was stabbed to death. Many believe Sharpton's rhetoric played a role in fomenting the Crown Heights riots. A Columbia University professor called it "a modern-day pogrom.' " . . .
