Colbert Writer Who Said ‘I’m Just Glad We Ruined Brett Kavanaugh’s Life’ Promoted to ‘Late Show’ Head Writer

. . . “ 'Whatever happens, I’m just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh’s life,” (Ariel) Dumas said in a now deleted tweet, amid a contentious Supreme Court confirmation process that saw Kavanaugh face unsubstantiated accusations of sexual misconduct, most notably, from Christine Blasey Ford.

“ 'The last couple of weeks have been hard for the country and for me personally,” Ariel Dumas said a day after her initial screed. “The complexity of frustration, anger and sadness can’t be accurately conveyed on twitter, and I regret my tone-deaf attempt at sarcasm in the wake of it.”

"I am thrilled that someone as funny and dedicated as Ariel will be my new head writer,” said Stephen Colbert of Dumas, who was also a joke writer on The Colbert Report at Comedy Central.

"The one-liners Dumas and her colleagues create often see Stephen Colbert smearing President Donald Trump, which has resulted in ratings success for the late-night host. In a particularly vulgar monologue last July, Colbert called President Trump a “racist, horny old burger-goblin who literally steals children from poor people.” A year earlier, the CBS show displayed an image of White House adviser Stephen Miller with his head on a spike.

"This week, Colbert celebrated the partisan impeachment inquiry against President Trump, saying this week’s House impeachment hearings marked “what we’ve been praying for since the beginning of the Trump presidency: the end of the Trump presidency.' ”

Ann Coulter: How to Get into Harvard Without Good S.A.T. Scores!

 After decades of recounting her sufferings since the robbery that left Brown dead, Kathy was told that Brown’s son still attended the memorial service held for his father and Sgt. O’Grady at 4 p.m. every Oct. 20. “Really?” Kathy said. “I never knew the guy had a son.”  According to our betters, that’s an “idealist.”

Breitbart  "If you’re looking for a shortcut to get your kid into a prestigious college, but your little one doesn’t have high enough cheekbones to claim to be an Indian, consider the petal-strewn path of the newly elected San Francisco district attorney, Chesa Boudin.

"Chesa’s sparkling credentials are: He is the son of celebrated cop-killers Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert!  That was enough to win him admission to Yale, Oxford, and Yale Law School.

"His mother consciously parlayed her way to success by becoming a violent revolutionary after realizing that she wasn’t going to set the world on fire with her SAT and LSAT scores.

"Poor Kathy couldn’t get into Oberlin — and then she couldn’t get into Yale Law. She was terrified of “losing her place” as her father Leonard Boudin’s “most cherished offspring,” as Susan Braudy put it in her book, Family Circle: The Boudins and the Aristocracy of the Left. (All this is covered in lascivious detail in my book, Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America.)

"By contrast, Kathy’s brother, Michael — the Republican — had nearly perfect board scores, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College, went on to Harvard Law School, worked for a white-shoe law firm, then took a top position in the Reagan administration. Today, he is a federal appeals court judge, appointed by the first President Bush.

"The only thing Kathy could do to impress her father — and our nation’s elite institutions — was to become a domestic terrorist." . . .

Boudin was named Chesa by his parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, to honor convicted murderer Joanne Chesimard. She led the Black Liberation Army when it was a cop-hunting group that assassinated at least six police officers in the early 1970s. Now renamed Assata Shakur, she escaped from prison in 1979 and lives in Cuba, which refuses to extradite her. Kathy Boudin assisted in the armed robbery that funded Chesimard’s jail break.

The Lonely, Delusional World of Feminist Literature

"Why are women, who have the whole male world at their mercy, not funny?" Christopher Hitchens once famously asked.  Hitchens was not around to the see a day when morbidly obese women would hold signs that read, "No, you make me a sandwich."  Hitchens could never have imagined how unintentionally hilarious an entire women's movement could become. 

Elise Ehrhard  A few years ago, as the country entered into all-out post-election warfare, I decided to distract myself with non-political interests.  I loved literature and longed to encounter wonderful writers exploring the complex terrain of love, life, and art.  Instead, as I perused literary magazines online, I fell down another rabbit hole: the gender politics–obsessed world of mostly female MFA graduates who edit and publish on these sites. 

"Their essays are so bad that they are good.  The writings emanate from young women inspired by a movement sporting vagina-shaped hats and vulva costumes.  The authors themselves often sound lonely, miserable, and endlessly fixated on unhealed childhood wounds.  But no worries: They have a scapegoat.  Trump and the patriarchy are all to blame.  

"Here is a sampling of a classic tour-de-force by a creative writing professor from a liberal university.  A year after Trump's inauguration, she moaned about how even left-wing men could not take her or her friends anymore: 

" 'To a certain extent," she writes, "we expected it from the men who wear lobster-printed pants, the men from Connecticut, the Young Republicans of America with their gelled and parted hair, their summers in Nantucket, their LL Bean slippers worn on the porches of fraternities, 2pm on a Monday.  But when my friend pulls me aside in a hotel bar and tells me it's happening to her husband — a man who donates annually to NPR and voted twice for Barack Obama, who has a degree in Art History and works for a non-profit — neither one of us knows what to say." 

"When she and her friends all went nuts post-Trump, her boyfriend dumped her.  "All of you women with your labia hats, he said.  All of you with your clitoris signs."  This feminist writer concludes that the problem is the men.  She never wonders if her sisterhood has become insufferable.  She never asks how she would feel if her boyfriend walked around in public wearing a giant penis costume and then berated his beloved for being an insufficient ally. But modern feminists lack the self-awareness to see the comedy of their actions." . . . 

Today's charges: The Schiff Show Shifts Shamelessly

https://www.americanthinker.com/cartoons/

Hilarious takedown of Dems’ shifting accusations… ‘collusion’ to ‘quid pro quo’ to ‘extortion’ to ‘bribery’ "The Trump campaign rapid response team is on its toes. They just emailed a hilarious response to the start of hearings today:

"High Crimes (and Focus Groups!)

"Impeachment “is about patriotism. It’s not about politics,” a very sad and somber Nancy Pelosi insisted again yesterday. “It’s not about anything political. It’s about patriotism.”

"Actually, it’s about polling.

"The Washington Post reports today that “Democrats have stopped using the term ‘quid pro quo,’ instead describing ‘bribery’ as a more direct summation of Trump’s alleged conduct.” Why?

“The shift came after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee conducted focus groups in key House battlegrounds in recent weeks, testing messages related to impeachment. Among the questions put to participants was whether ‘quid pro quo,’ ‘extortion’ or ‘bribery’ was a more compelling description of Trump’s conduct. According to two people familiar with the results, which circulated among Democrats this week, the focus groups found ‘bribery’ to be most damning.”

"Got that? The impeachment of the President will be determined by testing various accusations on focus groups in key House battlegrounds. (Just as our nation’s Founders intended!)

"Democrats aren’t “following the facts”—they’re using polls to figure out what crimes to accuse the President of. What a joke.

The Seven Deadly Sins of California’s Political Establishment

American Greatness
In a world where truth, justice, and the American Way still exist—an America that still believes in some sort of ultimate accountability—what the Golden State’s elites are doing is literally sinful.

"California’s politicians are hardly alone in their quest to destroy America’s rights, freedoms, prosperity, culture, traditions, and pride. They just happen to be more advanced in their quest. But since what happens in California often ends up happening later in the rest of the country, it’s vital to highlight just how bad it’s gotten in the Golden State.
"Just as a theologian might argue there are more than seven deadly sins fatal to spiritual progress, there are more than seven policy areas where California’s political leadership has fatally undermined the aspirations of ordinary Californians. But in the interests of brevity and clarity, here are what might be the most damning seven deadly sins of California’s political establishment.

Law and Order: Californians have prided themselves on being trendsetters in human rights, but the pendulum has swung too far. Thanks to Proposition 47, the “Reduced Penalties for Some Crimes Initiative” which voters approved in 2014, it is nearly impossible to arrest and hold anyone for possession of hard drugs, so long as they claim the drugs are for personal use. Prop. 47 also downgraded the punishment for property crimes if the value of the stolen goods are under $950 per offense." . . .
The writer then discusses these issues: Environment,  Energy and Water, Transportation, Housing, Education
"In a world where truth, justice, and the American Way still exist, an America that believes in God, or at least believes in good, evil, and some sort of ultimate accountability, what California’s elites are doing is literally sinful. Their path to redemption is simple:
"Enforce common sense drug laws and punish thieves. Quit using environmentalism as a punitive religious faith and start logging the forests, building roads, drilling for oil and gas, and approving nuclear power plants instead of shutting them down. Stop extorting more money in permitting costs than it costs to construct homes, and start building them again on open land. Get vagrants off the streets, build cost-effective shelter for the truly needy, and put the mentally ill back into institutions. Fire incompetent teachers and hold our students to immutable, objective academic standards instead of filling their heads with divisive nonsense."

To sum up: "Americans would do well to look to California today, and whatever they’re doing, do the opposite."

Kellyanne Conway Is Having None of Wolf Blitzer’s Catty Commentary

The CNN pattern has always been to take a once-proud profession and once-dedicated journalists and turn them into far less than they should aspire to. TD

RedState  "Kellyanne Conway was on CNN this morning with Wolf Blitzer. At the end of the interview, Columbo Blitzer noted he had one last question:

“It’s a political question, it’s a substantive question and I don’t want to talk about your marriage because I know that there are issues there….”

"Kellyanne — never one to mince her words — stopped him in his tracks.

“What did you just say? Did you just say there are issues there? You don’t want to talk about… why did you say that?”

 "I don’t know if it qualifies as “sexist,” but it’s certainly condescending, catty, and unprofessional.

"During the ensuing back-and-forth, Blitzer tried to justify the question’s relevance, while carefully side-stepping Conway’s pointed question regarding his offhanded reference to “issues” in the marriage. Conway slyly parried with references to CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin’s analysis and continued to hammer Blitzer on the need to bring her husband into the equation.

“But you wanted to put it in my husband’s voice, because you think somehow that it will help your ratings or that you’re really sticking it to Kellyanne Conway. Let me be very clear, you didn’t stick it to Kellyanne Conway….I think you embarrassed yourself.”

"And for the coup de grâce:

“I’m embarrassed for you because this is CNN now. I looked up to you when I was in college and law school. I would turn on CNN to see what Wolf Blitzer had to say about war, famine, disruption abroad, I really respected you for all those years as somebody who would give us the news. Now the news is what somebody’s husband says on a different network.” . . .
