Kayleigh McEnany Shows She’s Really Good at Being Press Secretary, Roasts Media After Gotcha Question

RedState   "Kayleigh McEnany has brought back in-person briefings now that she’s been appointed to Press Secretary and her first few stabs at the job have not been uneventful. On her very first day, the media were labeling her a “liar” for saying the Mueller report cleared Trump of Russian collusion. I guess we are going to split that hair from here unto eternity.
"Today, McEnany was hit with a ridiculous gotcha question that tried to hold a statement she made on Fox Business months ago over her head. Some reporter posited that she said Trump “would not allow” coronavirus to come to our shores and asked if she’d like to retract that statement. Little did he know that she’d be loaded for bear." . . .
Here she hands it all back to the press

. . . "She’s really good at this and it shows. We’ve missed this kind of whit with a smile in the press room, and it’s a very effective way to shame the media for their ridiculousness." . . .
. . . with these reporters, but his coronavirus briefings likely hurt his formerly rising approval ratings. He needs to let his Press Secretary take the lead, study up, and hit these people with facts every time she stands up there. If this continues, it’ll be very good for Trump’s re-election chances."

California Sheriff Defies Gavin Newsom: I Refuse to Make Criminals out of Business Owners and Moms

"Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco isn’t about to begin harassing the American people for doing what they should be doing, and that’s going back out and earning a living, producing goods, and generally creating a healthy society. As such, he told the Riverside County Board of Supervisors that he and his department will not be enforcing Governor Gavin Newsom’s overreaching orders.
Sheriff Chad Bianco
"Bianco began by noting that it wasn’t that long ago that the government “ordered residents into their homes, closed their businesses, made them wear masks, forbid them from going to church, and eliminated constitutional freedoms put in place over 200 years ago” in the name of curbing the public health crisis.
"Bianco admitted that it worked, but that while the curve was flattened, there were other numbers not being emphasized.
“ 'What isn’t being emphasized is that 2,000 of the 4,300 people who have tested positive have already recovered and returned to work,” said Bianco. “What that means is that out of two and a half million people in Riverside County, we have only 2,300 residents positive with this virus. Statistically, that is less than a tenth of one percent.”
"Bianco also noted that the tragic loss of 181 lives due to the virus, but also threw out the stat that this was 7/1000 of one percent." . . .

Russian collusion emperor Adam Schiff about to be exposed today and it won't be pretty

Dare we hope so?
Now it's Schiff's turn on the hot seat. Which is appropriate, given that he's the principle liar. The emperor of collusion is about to be exposed as having no clothes and it's not going to be a pretty picture.
Monica Showalter  "Adam Schiff, the fanatic who from the begining launched probe after probe of President Trump, is about to see the 2017-2018 Russia collusion transcripts he's been sitting on all these months released to the public, all 6,000 pages, with 73 witnesses stating there was no Russian collusion in 53 transcripts. National Intelligence Director Richard Grenell did the job Schiff wouldn't do, releasing the transcripts, and now Schiff is expected to be looking more bug-eyed than usual. 
"According to Fox News:
 Transcripts of House Intelligence Committee interviews that have been cleared for release show top law enforcement and intelligence officials affirming they had no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, senior administration and intelligence community officials told Fox News on Wednesday.
This would align with the results of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation — which found no evidence of illegal or criminal coordination between President Trump, the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016 — but the numerous transcribed interviews could raise further questions about committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s past statements saying that there was “direct evidence” of collusion. . . .
. . . "As for Schiff, it was all about covering up the evidence and then lying about it to the fawning media. He told lies all right, and the bad part was they had consequences. Schiff's claims were among the reasons why a naive attorney general, Jeff Sessions, went ahead and appointed a Special Counsel to investigate President Trump, which, as with the congressional investigation, came up empty." . . .

Hillary ready to swoop in 'as Biden stumbles'

Sky News Australia    "Joe Biden's evasive answers after he was credibly accused of sexual assault by a former staffer raises the prospect Hillary Clinton will replace the former Vice President at the top of the Democratic ticket, according to Sky News host James Morrow.
"The former Vice President Biden has been accused of assaulting former employee Tara Reade in 1993 when she worked in his senate office, a claim he flatly denies. "Mr Morrow said Vice President Biden's recent struggles puts the Democrats "with a naughty problem." " 'They have a candidate who stands credibly accused of sexual assault and who seems to be stonewalling the investigation. " 'I'm finding it harder and harder to imagine the Democrats sticking to Biden all the way to November rather than playing with the rules to swap someone else more electable in. "And for over a year now on this problem I have been saying throughout this entire mess of Democratic process Hillary Clinton has been sitting on the sidelines looking for the opportunity to avenge her loss in 2016.'

Huh? Don Lemon Says Trump Is Jealous Because Michelle Obama Is "Better Looking" than Melania

CNN: The channel we were glued to non-stop during the Gulf War because of its excellent reportage; how has it become so silly? Watch Don Lemon and tell me, is this your source for current events? TD

"Melania Trump is lonely and obsessed with Michelle Obama. At least in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's version of events anyway.
. . . "Adichie's fictional account also portrays Trump as envious of her predecessor's natural ease in the role of first lady. Mrs T shows Janelle a video she's been watching on YouTube of Michelle Obama visiting a classroom. She also reveals a folder full of pictures of Obama on her laptop. "Look at this. I always look at them for the inspiration," she says."In this fictional world, Mrs T's only source of joy comes from her 11-year-old son, Barron. The first lady perks up speaking to her son, who is described as "sweetly shy and polite, dependent on his mother for his sense of self.""But Adichie's imagined Trump also exhibits a casual racism that her husband, President Donald Trump, is often accused of sharing." . . .

CNN Announces Daily 'Two Minutes Hate' Segment


"CNN has announced a new "Two Minutes Hate" segment airing every morning.
"The segments are mandatory viewing for anyone trapped in an airport or hotel lobby. Enraged hosts will drum up hate against whatever draws their ire that particular day, though usually it will be Trump and his supporters.
"Viewers will be worked up into a frenzy through subliminal messaging and the energy of the crowd. Hosts will use provocative imagery and mocking to get everyone really angry and make them hate their political opponents. Triggering images such as people in red baseball caps and politicians with orange skin will flash across the screen until the crowd's rage is built up to a sufficient level.
" 'Be angry! Be very upset! Be outraged! Everything is terrible!" Don Lemon cried at the crowds dutifully assembled around CNN telescreens across the nation. "Repeat after me: Trump voters are sheep!' "  . . . More, even about Fox.
