SAD: White House Correspondents' Dinner Replaces Comedy With 'Dark Sermons'

Daily Wire  "Speakers at Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner struck a somber tone amid signs that the once ultra-trendy, star-studded "nerd prom" just isn't the event it once was."

. . . "President Donald Trump announced several weeks ago that he would not appear at the annual event — which technically raises money for journalism scholarships and awards achievements in covering White House-specific events — for the third year in a row. For the first time, however, the president said all senior members of the White House staff will "boycott" the event. 
"White House officials, including press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, instead appeared alongside the president at a rally Saturday night.
"That decision came after Huckabee Sanders endured cruel taunts at the hands of last year's featured speaker, comedian Michelle Wolf. Fearing no Trump administration associate could show up at the WHCA dinner without being personally attacked, despite a longstanding tradition of good-natured ribbing between the press and the president through dueling speeches, the White House simply stopped RSVPing to the event.
"The White House Correspondents' Association responded by making swift changes to the event's lineup, substituting historian Ron Chernow for the expected comedy act, but it did not tempt the White House back to the dinner." . . .

The Exodus Movement: Jews who feel the need to leave the Democrat Party

Is it Time for Jews to Leave the Democrat Party?

. . . "The most egregious action taken against the Jewish people in American political history has been the Iran deal. Iran is a direct threat to the safety of Israel. The State of Iran funds Hezbollah terrorist group, which consistently attacks Israel. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, with the guidance of Obama, settled on a deal with Iran over their nuclear program. Obama told the American public the deal was going to slow down and curtail Iran’s nukes. But that storyline was debunked. Obama showed his disdain for the people of Israel by allowing Iran to flourish with a clear pathway to nuclear weapons. It was a disgrace to America and the people of Israel. Thankfully, it’s over." . . .

Model Elizabeth Pipko doubles down on efforts to encourage Jews to leave Democratic Party with Exodus Movement  "While many across the world celebrate the holiday of Passover this week, commemorating the Biblical account of God freeing

the Jewish people from slavery in ancient Egypt, a new movement encouraging young Jews to exit the Democratic Party is underway.
"Model Elizabeth Pipko relaunched her efforts to inspire American Jews to reconsider the Democratic Party because she says its leaders disregard their values and beliefs.
"Pipko, who made headlines earlier this year when she faced backlash for announcing her support for President Trump and co-founding Jexodus -- now called the Exodus Movement
-- told Fox News she is doubling down on her efforts to encourage Jews to leave the Democrats in favor of politicians who align with their core beliefs." . . .

Mayim Bialik: Hollywood is not friendly to people of faith . . . "I've gotten a lot of negative attention for visiting Israel," she told FOX411. She was visiting a friend in the Israel Defense Forces. "That’s what's amazing...simply by going to Israel this summer and saying nothing more than, 'I've gone to Israel,' I got the same amount of hatred and threats and anti-Semitism for actually making a statement trying to support people whether I like it or not are serving in an army.' " . . .

We are proud Jewish Americans who reject the hypocrisy, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism of the rising far-left.  "Progressives, Democrats, and far too many Jewish organizations have taken our support for granted for far too long."We are now determined and unafraid to speak for ourselves."We’re done standing with allegedly supportive liberals who consistently side with our enemies, and disregard our values and beliefs.

How bad was that White House Correspondents Dinner Trump refused to attend?

Ethel C. Fenig  "Unlike his predecessors, President Trump chose to absent himself from the mainstream media's smug, sanctimonious, self-celebratory annual gathering, formally known as the White House Correspondents Dinner. 

 

"Last year's crude, rude, misogynistic attack on Trump's White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, by a crude, rude, unfunny female comedian at the dinner, was the last straw. His staying away now proved that Trump is a man of taste.  Rather than bother with these failed clowns, Trump attended an enthusiastic rally in Wisconsin, a place most of the White House correspondents know about as much about as Hillary Clinton does, given that it's a state filled with people these same correspondents look down upon.

 

"These know-nothing newsies, or as Trump describes them, purveyors of fake news, didn't like being ignored.  The organization's president, Olivier Knox, drowning in self-pity, proved it with his poor-little-me fake news speech. 

 

“ 'I don’t want to dwell on the president,” Knox said while discussing President Trump. “This is not his dinner. It’s ours, and it should stay ours. But I do want to say this. In nearly 23 years as a reporter I’ve been physically assaulted by Republicans and Democrats, spat on, shoved, had crap thrown at me. I’ve been told I will never work in Washington again by both major parties.”

 

“ 'And yet I still separate my career to before February 2017 and what came after,” the pious Knox continued, filling himself with tears and flapdoodle, pouring it on. “And February 2017 is when the president called us the enemy of the people. A few days later my son asked me, ‘Is Donald Trump going to put you in prison?” 

 

"And the glurge and treacle kept flowing. At the end of a family trip to Mexico, Knox mused that "if the president tried to keep me out of the country, at least Uncle Josh is a good lawyer and will get you home.”  Journalists in the Trump era are actually under physical threat, Knox said somberly." . . .

Babylon Bee*  "U.S.—During a CNN town hall event Monday evening, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came out tough on terror, vowing to do what was needed to round up the remaining members of ISIS in order to give them the right to vote in US

elections.
""As president, I will do everything in my power to hunt down each and every one of these terrorist scumbags, bring them to the U.S., and allow them to vote in our elections," he said sternly, drawing applause from his supporters. "We believe in democracy, right? We believe in democracy and the right to vote, and if that means I have to use every resource at my disposal to make sure ISIS makes it to the polls, I will do so."
" 'This is America, after all," he said, wildly flailing his hands about before aides rushed to him and gave him his meds to calm him down.
"After being pressed, Sanders admitted that part of the reason for the policy is that he's "pretty confident" ISIS will vote for Democrats such as himself."
