Trump Plans to ‘Tell the Real Facts’ About Bette Midler in Forthcoming Book

 PJ Media

Bette Midler recently made headlines for attacking the voters of West Virginia, calling them “poor, illiterate and strung out.”

“ 'What [Joe Manchin], who represents a population smaller than Brooklyn, has done to the rest of America, who wants to move forward, not backward, like his state, is horrible,” she tweeted earlier this week. “He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out.”

"She later apologized, but that apology wasn’t good enough for Donald Trump, who vowed to “tell the real facts” about her in his forthcoming book.

“ 'Wacko Bette Midler said horrible things about the great people of West Virginia and Joe Manchin, but when I say much less offensive things about her, everybody goes wild,” Trump said in a statement. “Don’t worry, I’ll tell the real facts about her in my book. I love you, West Virginia!”

"Midler was a vocal critic of Trump during his presidency, and the two occasionally got into some public feuds. I don’t know what Trump meant by saying he’d tell “the real facts about her” in his upcoming book. I don’t doubt that Midler is like many of his Hollywood critics who once praised him before entering politics and sought him out for his financial assistance. But, for those of us anxiously awaiting to read his story of his time in the White House, we don’t need Trump’s presidential memoir to be a litany of score-settling with Hollywood liberals. We deserve something better." . . .

I've Worked with People Like Bette Midler... Yes, They Think You're Stupid

Her attack was unseemly, rude, insulting, and demeaning. Also, sadly, it was all too common within the cloistered, sheltered, and privileged ranks of the entertainment elite. 

Bette Midler mocks Rush Limbaugh with KKK comparison less than a week after his death   ..." '#RushLimbaugh has gone to his reward.  Bet it’s hot," she wrote."...

 Bette Midler Mocked For Calling West Virginians “Poor, Illiterate and Strung Out”  "One of the few things Democrats are really good at is concealing their deep contempt for working-class Americans behind what independent journalist Glenn Greenwald appropriately called a “thin veneer of condescending intellectual compassion.” But every once in a while they let the masks slip, and the ugliness that is revealed as a result can sometimes end up backfiring spectacularly."

Lefty pols get a lesson in what 'defund the police' means

Let them lie in the bed they made for all of us. 

Tony Branco

Monica Showalter  "It's pretty amazing when leftists have to live with the results of their own decisions.

"Deep-blue San Francisco's descent into violent crime and chaos following its voters' choices to elect officials on platforms to "defund the police" is Exhibit A.

"But for the political perpetrators of these imposed anti-police agendas, it doesn't usually happen.  They are, after all, a nomenklatura of sorts, and membership has its privileges.

"But for two leftist politicos who unleashed "defund the police" on the public, the result was so big that they couldn't escape it.  They got what they voted for, "good and hard," as H.L. Mencken put it. 

"Here's a pair of Democrats who found themselves helpless victims of violent crimes brought on by defunding the police, according to Fox News:

Judge calls vax mandate a ruse

Don Surber

Bush 41 nominated a good man when he nominated Merryday in 1991. A Democrat Senate confirmed him. That was 30 years ago when Biden wasn't playing hardball and Democrats weren't as nuts.

"Judge Steven Douglas Merryday shot down Biden's vax mandate for federal contractors in Florida. He issued an injunction preventing its enforcement. The battle is between the federal and state government over who has the authority to handle a public health emergency.

"In his injunction, Merryday questioned the premise on which Biden based this particular mandate." . . .

‘Shame on ya, padre’: CNN’s Father Edward Beck argues that the unvaccinated should stay out of church — and then keeps digging  . . ."Those who have not been vaccinated against COVID have effectively become the modern-day lepers. You’ve got people like David Frum and Rex Chapman out there arguing that the unvaccinated are basically asking to get sick and thus don’t deserve to be treated if they go to a hospital seeking treatment for illness (or, at best, the unvaccinated should automatically be put at the back of the treatment line).

"Father Beck’s argument isn’t as cold as that, but if you replace “hospital” with “church,” his argument is essentially the same: the unvaccinated have no dignity." . . .

Biden To The Unvaccinated: Drop Dead  . . ."Just in time for Christmas, the ghoulish Biden executive branch has cranked up a climate of fear that in the blue regions has been overheating for months. This is no way to encourage the unvaccinated to get the shot. Stoking anxiety and “othering” people, treating them as lepers, is mean, cheap, not in any way American – and quite clearly part of the Democrats’ agenda.

"Make no mistake. Democrats, who want voters to believe theirs is the party of diversity, want to divide America. They want Americans charging for each others’ throats so they can play the role of savior: “We’re the only ones who can bring America together, so give us more money and power and we’ll fix this broken country.' ”. . .

Oklahoma Man Pleads Guilty to Misdemeanor for Taking Nancy Pelosi’s Beer on January 6 — Will Serve 6 Months in Federal Prison for the Crime

American Gulag  "An Oklahoma man pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor after taking one of  Nancy Pelosi’s beers from her office on January 6.

"Andrew Craig Ericson, 24, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. Prosecutors will drop three related misdemeanor charges in exchange for his plea. Ericson said in a signed statement that he is pleading guilty because he is in fact guilty.

"He will face six months in federal prison and a $5,000 fine after he was tipped off to the FBI by someone who had known him since high school.

"Six months in prison for one beer? 

"Ericson posted a photo of himself on Snapchat while sitting comfortably with his feet on a table at Pelosi’s conference room and taking a beer out of a mini-refrigerator." . . .

Judge Hands Down Big Win To Gen. Flynn, Allows His Family To Sue CNN

 Conservative Brief

"A U.S. federal judge has ruled that relatives of former national security adviser Michael Flynn can move forward with a lawsuit against CNN.

"The relatives, Flynn’s brother Jack and sister-in-law Leslie, allege that CNN wrongly portrayed them as QAnon conspiracy followers, according to a report.

"Earlier this year, CNN aired a report entitled “CNN Goes Inside A Gathering of QAnon Followers.”

“ 'The report included a brief clip of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn proclaiming, ‘where we go one, we go all.’ Plaintiffs John P. (‘Jack’) and Leslie A. Flynn … are shown in the clip standing next to General Flynn,” wrote U.S. District Judge Gregory Woods, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama.

"Jack and Leslie are seeking $75 million in damages, arguing that CNN defamed them and portrayed them in a negative light.

"Politico described QAnon as a “popular online conspiracy theory that claimed elites were sexually abusing children and that former President Donald Trump was planning to declare a national emergency to strike back at the shadowy figures engaged in the abuse.' ”. . .

"And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that, since his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."

Is America officially a nation of sheep?   . . ."The radicalization of the party began in earnest under Obama who was a communist at heart.  It was Obama who turned our DOJ, FBI IRS, DEA, ATF, and CIA into surveillance agencies tasked with ferreting out political opposition anywhere it might be found.  When Trump won in 2016, those agencies all doubled down on their now well-practiced Stalinist tactics.

"The denizens of the Obama administration are well represented within the pathetic Biden team, albeit behind the scenes.  Just who is calling the shots is anyone's guess, but whoever they are, they have very poor judgment, as does every single member of the Biden Cabinet.  Granholm for Energy!  Buttigieg for Transportation!  Jake Sullivan for National Security!  Garland as A.G.!  Every one of them is a disaster, clueless to the point of being dangerous.

"Most dangerous of all, however, is the Democrats' taste for tyranny over the American people.  Anyone paying attention knows that Biden and his cabal of ideological schemers are gleefully looking forward to shutting down more small businesses, mandating more restrictions on our daily lives and the lives of the nation's children." . . .
