SHE PERSISTED: Laura Ingraham Comes Back To Fox News Tonight, Even As Boycott Continues

#BREAKING: The Daily Wire has learned that Laura Ingraham will address the recent controversy over her tweet on tonight’s Ingraham Angle at 10PM ET.

Daily Caller  "Laura Ingraham will return to her 10pm Fox News Channel show tonight amid an anti-gun advertiser boycott campaign.

"Ingraham took last week off in what she insisted was a pre-planned vacation. Her Fox News show has faced an advertiser boycott after she sent a tweet mocking Parkland survivor and anti-gun activist David Hogg.

"Hogg then tweeted a list of her advertisers, and several ended up dropping her show. The boycott was heavily supported by the activist group Media Matters for America. (RELATED: David Hogg And Media Matters Team Up For Ingraham Boycott) . . .

Laura Ingraham to Address David Hogg-led Boycott  . . . "The Ingraham-Hogg feud has opened up a discourse on the limits of calling for boycotts. Ingraham’s tweet may have been rude, but it certainly shouldn’t have been a career-ender.

"The debate started by the tiff has created many strange bedfellows, with some liberals actually coming to Ingraham’s defense, including HBO host Bill Maher.

"It’ll be interesting to see what Ingraham has to say about the boycott tonight. Will you be tuning in?"

Former Obama Senior Intelligence Officials Back Haspel

Lauretta Brown

"A group of more than 50 senior intelligence officials wrote a letter Monday to the Senate Intelligence Committee Monday in support of Trump CIA Director nominee Gina Haspel. The group included eight former CIA directors or acting directors, three former directors of national intelligence, and two former secretaries of state.

"Those signing the letter included former CIA Directors John Brennan, Leon Panetta, Michael Hayden, Porter Goss, George Tenet, and William Webster. James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence under Obama, also signed the letter as did former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz.

"The officials wrote that Haspel has the “qualifications to become CIA Director match or exceed those of most candidates put forward in the Agency’s 70-year history.”

" 'Those who have served alongside Ms. Haspel have only the utmost praise and respect for her. She has broad support from the CIA workforce," they emphasized. "Within the U.S. national security community and among our allies around the globe, admiration for her is unsurpassed.' " . . .

'Chappaquiddick’ Star: ‘Everybody Gave [Ted Kennedy] a Pass’

". . .A girl drowns and he abandons her and she drowned, and women still voted for Teddy Kennedy. Why? Because he voted for women’s rights.' ”

Christian Toto  "Jason Clarke got quite the education after accepting the lead role in Chappaquiddick.

"The movie, out April 6, follows the events surrounding the 1969 death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Sen. Ted Kennedy (Clarke) was driving Kopechne, a campaign worker for his late brother Robert F. Kennedy, home on the Massachusettes island of Chappaquiddick when he crashed his Oldsmobile through a fence, landing the car in a pond.

"Kennedy escaped the submerged car but Koechne remained trapped inside. The Senator waited 10 hours to call for help.

“ 'I was overcome, I’m frank to say, by a jumble of emotions: grief, fear, doubt, exhaustion, panic, confusion and shock,” he said at the time.

"The diver who pulled Kopechne’s body from the car said she didn’t drown instantly. A trapped pocket of air temporarily kept her alive, but no autopsy was performed on the body.

"Much of this proved new to Clarke, the Australian actor from Terminator: Genisys and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

"He’s since gotten up to speed on the issue."

Liberals Announce Plan to Crush Normal Americans in a New “Civil War” (Spoiler: It’s Not a Great Plan)

 They are correct when they say “[i]n this current period of American politics, at this juncture in our history, there’s no way that a bipartisan path provides the way forward.” Yep, true. They are also correct when they observe that, “America today does exhibit some of the core elements that move a society from what normally is the process of working out political differences toward the slippery slope of civil war.” Yep, also true, and it ought to scare the hell out of them.

Kurt Schlichter  "Tech titan Jack Dorsey of San Francisco-based social media platform Twitter applauded an article in something called Medium in which some other hipster CEO described how liberals intend to crush Normal Americans into serfdom in a bloodless “civil war.”
"Here it is.
"Ready?
"It will just sort of happen. Why? Because. Americans will simply decide to be like California because of reasons and phew, no more troublesome conservatives and Gaia is saved!
"So basically, wishing.
"Well, that’s a kind of war plan. Perhaps by unleashing the power of hoping so they can utterly subjugate the half of America that voted against Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit and drive the people who actually operate and defend this country into silent obedience.
"Or not.
"Now, I know what you’re saying. You’re saying, “Why do a bunch of San Francisco dorks think that 150 million Americans with 300 million guns are just going to give up their rights and their say in their own governance and submit to the commands of people who eat kale by choice?” That’s a fair question, and they have an answer.
"Because you just are." . . .

Three Ways Obama Caused the Syrian Disaster

"I am daily amazed at the naïveté of many of my liberal friends who believe the outrageous quality of this failure of the blood stained past president. This article spells it our and lays the blame where this ignorant lamebrain continues to brag about his great successes." From comments to this post 

These are the actions of Michelle Obama's "adult" administration.

Frontpage Magazine

"The Radical-in-Chief didn’t just support one monster. He backed two."

"Obama owns the disaster in Syria in a way that no one else does. Three of his policies intersected to cause the bloodshed, devastation and horrors there. 

1. The Iraq Withdrawal
2. The Arab Spring
3. The Iran Deal

"Obama’s Iraq withdrawal turned the country over to Iran and ISIS. The tensions between the Shiite puppet regime in Baghdad (which Obama insisted on backing) and the Sunni population created a cycle of violence that reduced the country to a bloody civil war between Shiite militias and Al Qaeda in Iraq.

"The collapse of the multicultural Iraqi army allowed Al Qaeda in Iraq to seize huge swathes of territory. And ISIS and Iran began carving up Iraq into their own ethnically cleansed dominions.

"Then his Arab Spring empowered the Muslim Brotherhood’s Sunni forces to seize power in countries around the region. Unlike Egypt and Tunisia, whose governments fell under White House pressure, and Libya, which Obama bombed and invaded, the Iranians and Russians didn’t cut their Syrian allies loose.

"Iraq’s civil war spread to Syria. Initially Obama backed the Sunni Brotherhood militias. These groups represented themselves as free, secular and democratic. They were actually nothing of the kind. But as Libya and Yemen turned into disasters, and the Syrian militias clamored for direct military intervention, Obama instead turned to Iran. The Sunni Islamists hadn’t worked out so he cut a deal with the Shiites.

"Obama’s new deal with Iran was sealed with a fortune in illegal foreign currency shipments flown in on unmarked cargo planes, a virtual blank check for Iran’s nuclear program, the collapse of sanctions and the withdrawal of support for the Sunni militias in Syria. And that gave Iran a free hand in Syria. 

"If you want to understand why Syria is a disaster area, these are the three reasons." . . .

How liberals conduct military operations:

Did Trump's announcement of withdrawal from Syria embolden Assad's gas attack?  McCain thinks so.

Former Obama National Security Council Spokesman Admits 'Trump Was Handed a Mess' in Syria
. . .  "But to make matters worse for Tommy Vietor, the "mess" that he refers to is what his former boss called one of his proudest moments. Specifically, President Obama was most proud that he chose not to intervene after saying that use of chemical weapons by Syria would be "crossing a red line.' " . . .

Has The California Backlash Against Liberal Craziness Finally Begun?

As California goes, so goes the nation.

Weasel Zippers

"Conservatives and people with sense are fighting back in California.

"Via Fox News:

In a state consumed by conservation and environmental issues, one highly endangered species has long gone unnoticed and unprotected – the California Conservative. Is it still possible to rescue them from the brink of extinction? Can their numbers be revived? And can they thrive here once again?

While the nation continues to view California as a homogeneous voting block of individuals in lock step with an increasingly progressive liberal agenda, for Common Sense Californians up and down the left coast state, there’s a sense that a different tide is rising.

The ripple began in Los Alamitos where the city council voted to opt out of California’s sanctuary law. And it was followed by Orange County who voted to join the U.S. Department of Justice in challenging the state’s sanctuary city laws. This decision was echoed by the city of Escondido and later this month San Diego County will also vote to join their ranks in this federal lawsuit. Other municipalities are lining up to consider doing the same.

California has always been the tip of the spear. Often the genesis of art, influence, ideas, style and entertainment, we also take the lead in ways that are less admirable with high state tax, high gas tax, high costs of living and housing, an out of control homeless problem in our urban areas, declining test scores in schools, increasingly inaccessible and cost-prohibitive health care, and many of our major cities often appear on lists of the least-livable cities in the U.S.

SJW Mom Attacks Mike Rowe’s ‘Work Ethic’ Scholarship

Daily Wire  "Mike Rowe is known for encouraging his viewers to have a strong work ethic while on the job. Host of "Dirty Jobs" and "Returning The Favor," Rowe has a special scholarship for students wishing to learn various trades and requires them to take a “S.W.E.A.T. Pledge” to work hard to earn it.
"Normally, this would be considered uncontroversial, but not to one mother who took umbrage to Rowe requiring her child to have a strong work ethic.

"She wrote to Rowe on social media,

Mr. Rowe - I heard about your "work ethic scholarship program," and suggested my son apply. He wants to be a welder! I was appalled though, when he showed me your “sweat pledge,” and told me that signing it was required of all applicants!! Where did you come up with this nonsense? There are so many things wrong with this document I don’t even know where to begin!! Suffice it to say, we will not be applying!!! 

"Rowe responded: “If it’s any consolation, you’re not the only one to object to my S.W.E.A.T. Pledge, or do so with an over-reliance on exclamation points!! Over the years, it’s been my sad duty to inform lots of angry parents that this particular pile of free money might not be for them, or for their children.”
"He offered sincere wishes of success to the woman’s son and encouraged him in his welding endeavors.
“ 'But to be clear,” he said, “I have absolutely no interest in paying for his training if he doesn’t share my opinions on the importance of hard work, a positive attitude, delayed gratification, and personal responsibility" . . .

Michelle Obama seems to have a bad case of memory loss

Jack Hellner   "Former first lady Michelle Obama is saying that her husband followed the rules and was strict, while his successor, President Trump, is undisciplined and wild. I believe she and Hillary Clinton should get together as they attempt to rewrite history and call themselves the delusional women. 

. . . Here's how the press reported it:

The Obama administration “was like having the ‘good parent’ at home," the former first lady said. "The responsible parent, the one who told you to eat your carrots and go to bed on time." 

“And now we have the other parent,” Obama added. “We thought it’d feel fun — maybe it feels fun for now because we can eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow the rules.”

"I believe Michelle has it backw[a]rds.

"The good parents like to teach the kids to take personal responsibility and to move up the economic ladder. The bad parent thinks it is better for more people to be dependent on government with free food stamps, student loans they don't have to pay for, and free phones. 

"The good parent teaches children that they have freedom of choice to buy the health care they want. The bad parent doesn't believe the children are smart enough to make that decision. Only the master knows. The bad parent also continually lies to his children that they can keep their plan, their doctor and lower their costs when he knows that is not the truth. 

"The good parent believes people and businesses should be able to keep more of what they earned for themselves. The bad parent continues to take more for himself in order to increase his power. " . . .

Wanted: A little more class from the House of Obama  . . . "Also, Trump's children have turned out rather well.  Let's wait and see how the Obama girls turn out before we start talking about parenting.

"Since Mrs. Obama started this, let me tell you how President Obama was not a good parent:

"1. He made a ton of Obamacare promises that did not come true.  Worse than that, he never admitted his mistakes.

"2. He drew a line in Syria and then never enforced it.  We are watching right nowthe terrible consequences of that weakness:

President Trump slammed former President Barack Obama on Sunday for not crossing his stated "red line" with Syria, amid reports of a suspected chemical attack that left at least 40 dead near the capital, while also warning Russia and Iran there will be a "big price to pay" for backing the Assad regime.

"Again, I'd rather not get into an argument with a former first lady.  At the same time, I wish we lived in a political landscape where former first ladies speak graciously about their husbands' successors, as we saw with Mrs. Laura Bush and others.

"Add to this Jimmy Kimmel making fun of Mrs. Trump's accent, and it's been a really bad week for class and civility."

Let Hillary Speak!

PJ Media

"A lot of people made a lot of bad predictions during the 2016 election, myself included. As election day loomed, I tried to mentally prepare myself for the horror of a Hillary Clinton presidency. I assumed it was bound to happen, no matter which of the two completely unacceptable major party candidates got my vote. (Neither one did. I ended up writing in Larry Hovis.) So I was immensely relieved to wake up the next morning to learn that she had lost.

"Lost to a man.

"Again.

"We avoided the worst-case scenario, in favor of the second-worst-case scenario. We wouldn't have to listen to that voice for the next 4-8 years. Finally, Hillary could waddle off to the woods, or crawl into a vat of Chardonnay, or find some other way to fill that void in her soul. Finally, she'd stop belligerently scolding America all the time.

"Once again, I was completely wrong. No matter what happened on Nov. 8, 2016, there is no timeline in the multiverse where Hillary Clinton will ever, ever stop yapping. And I say... let her!

"Judy Kurtz, The Hill:

“I was really struck by how people said that to me — you know, mostly people in the press, for whatever reason — mostly, ‘Go away, go away,’” Clinton said Thursday during an event at Rutgers University.

“And I had one of the young people who works for me go back and do a bit of research. They never said that to any man who was not elected. I was kind of struck by that,” Clinton said.

"I'm trying to remember any previous presidential candidate who lost and then spent the next 18 months hobbling around complaining about it to anybody with a camera and a microphone." . . .
