Media Gone Wild (Over Trump!)

Ann Coulter


"If you really, really miss Donald Trump, MSNBC may just be for you! Biden is cratering, fuel prices are skyrocketing (hey, anybody seen Greta Thunberg?), hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are pouring across our border, and the murder rate keeps hitting historic highs. "But the establishment media can't stop talking about TRUMP.
"So for my friends in the media, here are a few thoughts on your Trump obsession.
Rep. Liz Cheney, daughter of Dr. Evil, has become an unlikely hero among the Can't-Get-Enough-Trump media -- because she can't stop talking about Trump either.
"Cheney says: . . ."
. . . 
"But thanks, media, for so debasing yourselves with idiotic lies over the past five years -- e.g., Russian collusion, the "Access Hollywood" tape, Trump's remarks on Charlottesville -- that I had to look up a basic fact question for myself because I simply couldn't trust you." . . .

Biden’s Health Official Sworn in as First-Ever Transgender Four-Star Admiral

 Neon Nettle

"Joe Biden's top health appointee was sworn in as the first transgender four-star admiral on Tuesday.

"Rachel Levine, who was born male but identifies as a woman, was sworn in on Tuesday as an admiral of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

"I'm doing this because of my dedication to service ... with the utmost respect and honor for the uniform that I will be wearing," Levine told the Washington Post.

“I stand on the shoulders of those LGBTQ+ individuals who came before me, both those known and unknown,” she said.". . . 

'Rachel Levine Is a 4-Star Admiral' Is Our 'Caligula's Horse Is a Senator' Moment "Legend holds that the deranged Roman dictator-emperor Caligula elevated his favorite horse, Incitatus, to the rank of senator. This historical tale has survived the ages to become a metaphor for abuse of authority. People generally assume that Caligula’s motive for this stunt was simple madness, but looking deeper, one finds a more sinister rationale: Caligula’s threat to elevate Incitatus to the rank of consul (an honorific usually granted to loyal senators) was at once a debasement of the office, a potent demoralizer of Roman patriots, and a flex of raw power.". . . 


"In an apparent attempt to compensate for being everything the radical left hates (an old white heterosexual male), Joe Biden has been a sucker for symbolic appointments and nominations. Before we knew who he’d pick as his running mate, we knew it would be a minority female. Since taking office, when various positions have been filled there has been an abundance of “the first _____ to serve as _____” in the accompanying press releases, fulfilling his pledge for a diverse administration for the sake of diversity.

"The Biden administration has taken this pledge to the extreme at times, such as his nominating of Rachel Levine to be assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services. Levine, who previously served as secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, was undoubtedly chosen solely because he is a man who thinks he’s a woman.". . . 

In-N-Out's Defiant Stand

Support In-N-Out!

Legal Insurrection

“It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant associates to segregate customers into those who may be served and those who may not, whether based on the documentation they carry, or any other reason.”

.  

“We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” In-N-Out’s Chief Legal and Business Officer Arnie Wensinger said in a statement. “It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant associates to segregate customers into those who may be served and those who may not, whether based on the documentation they carry, or any other reason.”

"Think about it. It’s the only In-N-Out in San Francisco. Have you had In-N-Out? I think Whataburger is better, but In-N-Out burgers are delicious and addicting". .  . 


Thomas Lifson: In-N-Out Burger refuses to demand vaccine 'passports' in SF store, forced to close indoor dining   "The first prominent company to stand up to vaccination passport bullying is In-N-Out Burger, which should surprise no one familiar with the company's history and culture.  More on that below, but first, according to Amanda Bartlett of SFGate". . . 



. . . The quality of the food is miles ahead of the competition, and in the end, that's what matters.  I had one of their double-doubles for lunch yesterday and savored it all the more, knowing that this is a company standing up for my sovereignty over my own body and willing to stand up to bullies with their fake science."


In-N-Out Takes a Defiant Stand Against San Francisco's Draconian Vaccine Mandates


. . . "These vaccine mandates are part of California’s draconian effort to enforce vaccinations on the public, with major cities like San Francisco implementing what amount to the need for vaccine passports in order to use services within the city. The rules enforced on citizens don’t seem to apply to the rule-makers as it was revealed earlier this month that Newsom hasn’t vaccinated his daughter. This is the same Newsom that was caught dining in at the high-end restaurant “The French Laundry” after effectively locking down his state.

"In-N-Out’s decision to defy the vaccine mandates may come as no surprise to some who understand the company’s values. Despite being California-based, it is an openly Christian company with the owner, tattooed rocker Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, not only promoting a Christian-based life to anyone who will listen but the company once angered Democrats after it donated $25,000 to the Trump campaign in 2018 according to SFGate.

"The discovery caused the leftist mob to become enraged and call for a boycott that didn’t get very far.". . . 


Travis Tritt: Vaccine Mandates Used to ‘Shame,’ ‘Discriminate Against People that They Don’t Feel Are Clean’

Breitbart  "Tuesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” country music artist Travis Tritt elaborated on his refusal to perform venues that are imposing vaccine requirements for attendees.

"Tritt told host Tucker Carlson he had played 75 shows in 2021 and said that the term “super spreader” was not applicable to his events, given there had been no noticeable out-of-the-ordinary increase in COVID numbers after his concerts.

"He also called the mandates were divisive and used to “shame” and “discriminate.' ”. . . 


"Biden’s Voters Really Thought He Would Govern Competently? And yet we must pray for him to last three more years."

"It is the way of the new vision: D.I.E. — Diversity, Inclusion, Equity. Instead of equal opportunity, equal results. A vice president of no consequence or attainment whose two resumé qualifiers are that she is female and remains darker skinned even after a three-week visit to Florida. A president who ran on a 50-year record of failure and racial bigotry. . ."

 Source: The American Spectator  . . ."That really is how we ended up with Biden as president. No one sensible conceivably thought that after 50 years of his manifest mediocrity and plentiful plagiarism in public life, this charisma-less character suddenly was going to push Teddy Roosevelt or Thomas Jefferson off Mount Rushmore. Biden inevitably was going to be a candidate, instead, for a Mount Flushmore, perhaps accompanied by a Millard Fillmore, a Franklin Pierce, or a James Buchanan. He had nowhere to lead us because, although even a pencil must be lead, Biden’s presidential candidacy, with Kamala and Nancy in the wings and “The Squad” as backup, was a Peter Bruegel the Elder painting to rival the best “Blind Leading the Blind” paint-by-payola-numbers art works among the coveted Hunter oeuvre of collected high-bribe etch-a-sketch offerings.

"Biden so obviously was going to lead us nowhere — not into the Promised Land, not out of Egypt, not even around a desert for 40 years. Like the mediocre colonel who submitted a mediocre application for promotion, his only letter of recommendation could read: “His men would follow him anywhere — but only out of curiosity.”* 

"And yet the Democrats selected him from among their primary bounty of choices, a box of chocolates without fillings in the center … and without chocolate. And now the rest of America is surprised to see the Guernica they got? Why the surprise? How the surprise? It never could have been otherwise. He had no vision for half a century — and yet now he suddenly was going to see a future when he still was promoting 33 rpm vinyl records in 2020? One year ago Politico had him at +16 and Fox News at +20.  Harvard-Harris still had him at +15 in June. It made no sense. And then came Afghanistan — the hammer.

"Afghanistan was so dramatic that it pierced through the combined Left Media and Social Media walls protecting Biden from public view. People finally got their glimpse of the man they had seated in the Oval Office.". . .

Irrelevant Republicans Being Ignored!

The liberal media is giving all their attention to the tax and spend Democrats!

Outside The Beltway


"Via the memeorandum aggregator, I found this bizarre story on Newsbusters (“LOPSIDED: Dems Swamp Republicans (115 to 16) on Evening News Budget Stories“):

Is there any surprise our national debt keeps climbing when the voices calling for fiscal responsibility are almost completely drowned out by the national media?

In the network evening news show coverage of stories about the infrastructure bill, increasing the debt ceiling and President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” spending boondoggle Republican voices were almost completely shut out. 

MRC analysts looked at 30 stories on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening programs covering the most recent budget debates from September 23 to October 10 and discovered a whopping disparity in soundbites with Democrats overwhelming Republicans by a 115 to 16 count.  

Yes, viewers of these programs were seven times more likely to hear from hardcore big spending Democratic lefties such as Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Pramila Jayapal than Republicans like Sen. Mitch McConnell or Rep. Kevin McCarthy.

"Leaving aside that the Republicans seem to be committed to “fiscal responsibility” only when Democrats are in the White House, this seems a rather bizarre critique. One party controls the White House, House of Representatives, and (nominally, at least) the Senate. The Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, has made it abundantly clear that there will not be a single vote from his party for raising the debt ceiling or in support of the reconciliation package.". . .

All emphases in the original.


No, The Canadian Government Didn’t Ban The Phrase “Lets Go Brandon”…

Debunked? Alleged leaked Canadian gov memo tells employees to not say 'Let's Go Brandon'  Too bad; it was a fun story but not true. You might see it on MSNBC or CNN, but be sure to look further than these two. The Tunnel Dweller
