. . . 'On the night before she is set to receive an award from the Television Academy for "advancing social change," The Daily Caller's Derek Hunter reports that the so-called comedian called presidential adviser (and first daughter) Ivanka Trump a "feckless c**t" in her show's monologue.

“You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child," Bee said,

“but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless cunt!”

"The crowd then screamed and cheered.

“He listens to you,” Bee continued.

“Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it,” she said.

"And here is the icing on the cake...

"Bee will be receiving an award from the Television Academy Thursday night for “advancing social change.' ” . . .

How about Stephen Colbert?

................................................................................................................................

(His hatred of President Trump on full display with no consequences)

. . . "Coming to Dickerson’s defense, Colbert went on an extended rant against Trump, saying that Trump was disgracing the nation, was a “real prick-tator,” and that “the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c*** holster.”

"Colbert was criticized by Trump supporters, but also by some liberals, who felt the joke was homophobic. The host did not apologize, but he did say on his show the next day that “while I would do it again, I would change a few words that were cruder than they needed to be.”

"The FCC ultimately decided not to take action against The Late Show. On YouTube, the monologue became Colbert’s highest-viewed ever." . . .

.................................................................................................................................... . . "On top of the vulgarity and swearing, many people are offended by the homophobic nature of Colbert’s rant.

"Here’s what he said:

“Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine,” Colbert said near the end of the insult-laden rant. “You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c–k holster.”

CNN calls FCC investigation something they should do

Dixie Caron Adams tweeted this bit of advice on how to make your opinion of a sow noticed:
"Allow Tonight show w/Colbert and then switch channel. Networks monitor viewers switching during programming. Better than turning off or switching before he comes on. Sends a message. #FireColbert"

Trey Gowdy Didn’t Even See Documents He Claims Exonerate FBI On Spygate: Reports

Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist

Gowdy claimed that the FBI's use of spies against the Trump campaign was perfectly proper, but multiple reports indicate he never even saw the full records Congress subpoenaed on the matter.

. . .  CNN’s Marshall Cohen repeatedly claimedGowdy’s comments were a “debunking” of the claims that the FBI used at least one informant to surreptitiously collect and report information against the Trump campaign and presidential transition. CNN’s Jake Tapper tweeted, “Gowdy refutes Trump, Nunes, Fox ‘spy’ conspiracy.” ABC News similarly alleged that Gowdy was “disputing Pres. Trump’s unsubstantiated claim the Obama administration used spy to infiltrate his campaign.”

"The claims that Gowdy had somehow “refuted” allegations that the FBI used at least one informant to spy on the Trump operation are in direct conflict with confirmed reporting from The New York Times and Washington Post that the FBI did, in fact, use at least one individual to secretly collect information against the Trump campaign for use in the bureau’s anti-Trump investigative efforts. Gowdy himself suggests confirmation that such a government agent was used to secretly collect information on the Trump campaign." . . .

The Carnivores of Civil Liberties

Victor Davis Hanson

A bank of microphones sit before a press conference on Capitol Hill

. . . "Liberalism rode high during the Watergate era. It had demanded that civil liberties be protected from the illegal or unconstitutional overreach of the Nixon-era FBI, CIA, and other agencies. Liberals alleged that out-of-control officials had spied on U.S. citizens for political purposes and then tried to mask their wrongdoing under the cover of “national security” or institutional “professionalism.”

"All those legacies are now eroding. The Democratic party, the investigative media, and liberalism itself are now weirdly on the side of the reactionary administrative state. They have either downplayed or excused Watergate-like abuses of power by the former Barack Obama administration.

"Liberal journalists apparently have few concerns that the FBI apparently used at least one secret informant to gather information about the 2016 Trump campaign. Nor are they much bothered that members of the Obama national-security team unmasked the names of U.S. citizens who had been improperly surveilled. Many of those names then were illegally leaked to the press.

"Democrats seem indifferent to the fact that Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign paid a foreign agent, Christopher Steele, to compile dirt on Republican candidate Donald Trump — largely by trafficking in unverified rumors from Russian interests. Obama administration officials leaked details from that dossier." . . .

Obama's Netflix; They and the Clintons will never go away.

Netflix twice rejects Hebrew’s right to exist  "A language with ancient roots that chronicled the foundation of Western civilization, arose as a spoken language after a nearly 2,000-year-old slumber, and now symbolizes the re-establishment of Jewish national sovereignty has reached a new milestone in its long and storied history: censorship by Netflix.

"On May 28, the Jerusalem Post reported that Netflix's website had airbrushed out the Hebrew word "shalom" from an image of rapper Jay-Z's T-shirt in the documentary series Time: The Kalief Browder Story.  The very same words in Arabic ("salaam") and English ("peace") remained untouched."

We’ll Never Be Rid of Them: Obamas Sign a Deal With Netflix  . . . "The Obamas aren’t going to be out in “communities” looking for humanity’s hidden gems. They are going to be busy doing the thing they love most: being celebrities.

"A common fear among the more imaginative anti-Obama people back in the day was that he would do something nefarious to keep himself in office past his term limits. I remember talking about that with an astute friend of mine who just laughed at the suggestion. I asked her what was so funny and she said, “They don’t want to be in politics, they want to be TV stars.”

"Bingo.

"I had never really thought of it like that before but as I watched the rest of the Obama presidency it made sense.

"Face it, Obama’s presidential “accomplishments” will eventually be picked apart by honest historians in the far future. He was, however, very good at getting Hollywood lefties to adore him. Sure, they all love Democrats anyway, but Obama makes them swoon.

"Most presidents leave office intent on writing a book or two, or finding a noble cause to throw their celebrity behind. The aforementioned Habitat for Humanity gained fame through the efforts of Jimmy Carter. George W. Bush does a lot of work with veterans.

"Barack Obama got a production deal." . . .

Roseanne's New Job, Michael Ramirez.

ABC's bipolar values

OK, we've discussed this and agreed Roseanne's comments were unacceptable. But what if Roseanne made this remark about Trump or pretty much any conservative?...

ABC Axes Roseanne’s Hit Show After Her Tweets Disparaging Obama Alum, Valerie Jarrett

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” said ABC

. . . "The reboot of Roseanne raked in killer numbers, irking critics who were less than thrilled that a pro-Trump, middle-American show could do so well without their blessing." . . .

Further proving just how intolerant she truly is, the very same month she attacked Pence’s faith, Behar also outright stated, “As a Democrat, I am offended by Republicans!” (RELATED: Joy Behar Explodes On Meghan McCain: ‘I Am Offended By Republicans!’).

"But perhaps the most disgusting thing to ever fly out of Behar’s mouth occurred in October 2016.

In community building, the third place is the social surroundings separate from the two usual social environments of home ("first place") and the workplace ("second place"). Examples of third places would be environments such as churches, cafes, clubs, public libraries, or parks. – Wiki"
