AT&T reportedly looking to sell CNN after 'hit' from 'hating Trump': Gasparino

Fox News  "AT&T is reportedly looking at selling CNN to pay its massive debt, but the cable news company may have hit its peak "hating Trump," Fox Business Network senior correspondent Charlie Gasparino argued Friday.

" 'CNN does not have Donald Trump to kick around anymore and their ratings will take a hit," he told "Tucker Carlson Tonight," given the current projected presidential election results.

"He reports that AT&T is "financially unstable" with $150 billion in debt.

""They need to cut costs. There's an active investor out there," Gasparino said.

"Despite the low odds of any deal in the immediate future, a sale of CNN to billionaire Jeff Bezos would make sense from both sides, media investment bankers tell FOX Business.

" 'I'm not a CNN hater. They have a lot of good journalists there," Gasparino said. " . . .

Exactly who are these "good journalists"? I had hoped for solid reporting from Jake Tapper but felt he had sold out any integrity he had. TD

Kristi Noem Lights Up 'Ridiculous' Barack Obama for His Pathetic Portrayal of America in Upcoming Memoir

Redstate

Spare us the faux intellectualism, O. Besides being elected president of the United States — twice, and primarily by white Americans — you were handed a $65 million advance to tell us how “racist” and “imperfect” we are. Does that strike you at all as hypocritical as hell?

"Before we get started, how many more memoirs is this narcissist going to write?

"Rising Republican star, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Thursday skewered former president and current condescending-know-it-all Barack Obama over a passage from O’s soon-to-be-released memoir, titled “A Promised Land.”

"As reported by The Blaze, the memoir, to be released November 17, is scheduled to be the first of a two-part series released by Penguin Random House, which paid a $65 million advance to Barack and Michelle Obama for the rights to publish both their memoirs. [Rolling-eyes emoji]

"Hmm. I wonder how much of that $65 million Mr. and Mrs. Martha’s Vineyard plan to donate to Chicago’s Southside, their old haunt, where streets run red with the blood of black men shot to death by other black men every weekend — but I digress.

"In one of several excerpts from the book released to the Washington Examiner, Obama suggested that Donald Trump’s 2016 election was in part because Americans “were spooked (of course he intended the pun) by a black man in the White House” —  which he partially blamed on former Alaska governor and John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate Sarah Palin for creating racial tension and “wild conspiracy theories.”

“Through Palin, it seemed as if the dark spirits that had long been lurking on the edges of the modern Republican Party — xenophobia, anti-intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, and antipathy toward Black and brown folks — were finding their way to center stage.”...

..."Someone else disgusted by Obama’s book is conservative author, commentator, and activist Candace Owens, who on Friday night called the former president “despicable” during an appearance on Fox News with host Sean Hannity. As reported by Fox News, Owens said Obama was “the first president who left the White House hating America.' ” ...

For Now, The American Republic Stands

 Charlemagne Institute.

The Founding Fathers knew that in order to preserve liberty, we couldn't trust politicians with concentrated power. If the Republicans do not prevail in one Senate race in Georgia, the American people will receive a crash course in the Founders’ wisdom.

"Before the November 3 election, a foundational principle of the American republic – checks and balances – was on life support. The same inaccurate pollsters who predicted a blowout win for Biden also predicted the Democrats would take control of the Senate. With one-party Democratic control, America as we know it would disappear.

"The results of the election didn't match the polls. On January 5, 2021, if the Republicans win one of the two Georgia runoff Senate races, Republicans will retain control of the Senate and two-party governance will be preserved.

"America has recently experienced one-party rule, both under Republicans from 2017 to 2019, and under Democrats from 2009 to 2011. But times have changed. This time, one-party rule under Democrats promises permanent governmental changes, such as an end to the Senate filibuster and the addition of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia as states. It also promises to pack the Supreme Court with additional justices, to avoid having new laws declared unconstitutional.

"These foundational changes obliterate checks and balances, the core design feature built into the Constitution to prevent abuses of power. Losing these would cause America to lose her tried-and-true form of government for good.

"James Madison explained why checks and balances "should be necessary to control the abuses of government" in Federalist Paper No. 51. No matter what you believe about the goodness of Joe Biden and the Democrats, their character is not enough to prevent abuses to liberty:

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. 

A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.

The 2020 Democratic Party Platform – Understanding the Opposition

The 2020 Democratic Platform reads as if it was written by Sandy O and her entourage.  Joe Biden cannot honestly face the 70 million who voted for his opponent and call for unity while subscribing to such a platform.  One also questions how the moderate Democrats can remain in their party while claiming that the socialist talk cost them too many seats in the House.

  Jim Forbes "Joe Biden is claiming to be everyone’s president and the leader who will unite us and solve all our problems.  Whether Biden becomes the victor in the presidential election or not, understanding the beliefs of his supporters and admirers is fundamentally important.  They are a force that will continue to have to be reckoned with.  In this regard, critical review of the Democratic Party platform is enlightening and still relevant.

"First, for context it seems wise to have a comparison, but not to the Republican platform, for that would be comparing apples to oranges.  As a historical perspective, why not compare to the 1960 Democratic Party platform on which John Kennedy was elected President?  The 1960 platform celebrated the party of Jefferson, instead of the movement today to remove, deface, or destroy his national monument in Washington D.C. and rename hundreds, even thousands, of public schools.  It promoted a strong military and economy to defend against the Soviet Union and Red China, rather than replacing the superiority of American military and economic strength with ineffectual diplomacy.  It promised housing for everyone and the end of urban blight, as consequences of a strong economy, instead of government handouts and welfare.  It recognized God rather than claiming that government is the only hope.  It established the need for the end of pollution and the wise use of resources instead of the blind religion of environmentalism and climate change.  It blamed previous Republican administrations for not accomplishing what the Democrats claimed they could only achieve, but without hatred.  It understandably was political propaganda, but it was strikingly different than what the Democratic Party states they believe today." . . .

There is no amount of reasoning or compromise that can influence those who truly believe and support the tenets of the 2020 Democratic Platform.  They are the foundation on which a Democrat-controlled presidency and Congress will formulate policy.  There is no common ground. 

Obama Defames 'Millions of Americans' as Racists in New Memoir

Many Chautauquans voted for you in the hope that race relations would improve on your watch.  As you know, they collapsed.  In January 2009, 79 percent of whites and 64 percent of blacks held a favorable view of race relations in America.  By July 2013, those figures had fallen to 52 percent among whites and 38 percent among blacks.  This had nothing to do with Donald Trump and much to do with your Tourette's-like instinct to cite "race" as the cause of your own and your administration's failings.  

Jack Cashill   " 'For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House," writes Barack Obama in his new memoir, A Promised Land, "Donald Trump promised an elixir for their racial anxiety."

Rather than speak for the millions of Americans whom Barack Obama casually defamed, I am going to speak for the 130,000 or so residents of Chautauqua County, New York, a semi-rural "rust belt" county tucked away in the far southwest corner of western New York.

I know the county well.  I spend a good chunk of each year there and set my first published novel, 2006: A Chautauqua Rising, therein.  (Word to would-be writers: do not use names in book titles that no one can pronounce: sha-TAWK-wa).

In 2008, Mr. Obama, you won Chautauqua County.  In that the county is only 2 percent black, it was the white people of Chautauqua who elected you.  In that many residents have not seen a black American since the Buffalo Bills moved their training camp, "racial anxiety" is preposterously low on the list of local motivators.  You appeared just as black in 2008 as you did in 2012, and you scared no one." . . .

...

"In 2016, the county that you carried in 2008 gave Trump a 20-plus margin over the very white Hillary Clinton.  Did her sex "panic" Chautauquans more than your race?  Or did they catch on that coastal elites had nothing but contempt for the "deplorables" in working-class America, what with the way they bitterly cling to their guns and religion?

"In 2020, Chautauquans again gave Trump a 20-point margin (More than 30 percent before the mail-ins were counted).  In fact, the whole southern tier of New York, like the northern tier of Pennsylvania, had turned deep red.  This had absolutely nothing to do with you or with race, Mr. Obama, but everything to do with the fact that your party has written these "fragile" white people off.

"Barack Obama owes the people of Chautauqua County an apology.  No, he owes the people of America an apology.  And he sure as hell owes Donald Trump an apology.  Thank God he didn't use the word "spooked.' "...
