When you've lost Scott Adams...

Hot Air  " Earlier this morning, David looked at the startling way in which Winsome Sears cut her ties with Donald Trump after rising to prominence as a staunch soldier in the


Trump army. That clearly caught some people by surprise, though not everyone. Sears wasn’t alone, however. Another fervent Trump supporter has appeared to similarly throw in the towel. Famed cartoonist Scott Adams, best known for his iconic Dilbert series, made a very brief but apparently definitive
 declaration on Twitter yesterday. He was responding to news that Trump was attacking Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin for reasons that weren’t entirely clear.  This was apparently a bridge too far for Adams, who simply typed out three words. “Yeah, I’m out.” (Raw Story)

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams has stuck by Donald Trump through countless scandals throughout the years, from getting caught on camera boasting about sexually assaulting women to getting impeached for trying to shake down the Ukrainian government for dirt on political rivals, and for getting impeached again for inciting a deadly riot at the United States Capitol building.

Now, however, Adams on Friday said he’s finally had enough, and it came after Trump unloaded on Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for an unspecified reason.

“Yeah, I’m out,” Adams wrote in response to Trump’s attack on Youngkin.

Here’s the tweet heard ’round the world.

Jonathan Turley Ruins Biden's Snarky 'Lots of Luck' Wish to GOP About Hunter Probe With Perfect Analogy

 RedState  "Among the politically-related opinions that I most respect are those from liberal-leaning professionals who rise above their personal political views and tell it like it is, regardless of party. Legal scholar and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley is on that list. We’ll get to Professor Turley in a minute but first, Joe Biden.

"During Biden’s midterm elections post-mortem on Wednesday, he was asked about the possibility of Republicans conducting congressional investigations — if the GOP wins the majority in either chamber or both, that is — into the Biden Family Business, notably Hunter Biden‘s shady business dealings. Biden smugly shot back: “Good luck with that,” suggesting the American people want to move on. Here’s Joe:

Lots of luck in your senior year, as my coach used to say.

Look, I think the American public wants to move on and get things done for them. And, uh, I heard that it was reported … many times that Republicans were saying — the former president said — how many times you gonna impeach Biden?

I think the American people will look at all of that for what it is. It’s almost comedy.

Takes gall, huh?

"Uh-huh, Joe. You mean the same way TDS-riddled Nancy Pelosi House Democrats “moved on” from the hollow Russian “collusion” hoax? And impeachment? You are aware that the Democrats impeached Trump twice — both times, solely for political expediency — and the meaningless Jan. 6 Committee charade, right Joe? Wait— maybe you don’t remember any of that, but nonetheless.

"As luck would have it, Biden’s cocky response didn’t escape the attention of Jonathan Turley, who on Thursday dropped a column titled: Washington’s Pandora’s Box: The Opening of the Hunter Biden Laptop Could Expose the Cottage Industry of Influence Peddling.". . .


No worse choice for president

TO THE EDITOR:  "Biden is a person with a mental disorder, a sociopath. His behavior shows no regard for right and wrong and completely ignores the needs of American citizens.-

"When Biden speaks, the mainstream media say that’s just Joe's storytelling, but most know it’s plain out lying, deception, and manipulation.

"Just a “ very few” examples of Biden's obsessive lies:

*I earned 3 degrees and finished in the top half of my law school class.

*I was jailed in South Africa while on my way to visit Nelson Mandela.

“I used to drive an 18-wheeler.

*Gas prices in California have always been $7 per gallon.

*Powerful sanctions have stopped Russia.

*Our economy roared back faster than anyone predicted.

*My tax spending plans will lower the deficit.

*My house burned down with my wife in it.

*My son Beau, died in action while in Afghanistan.

"
And my personal favorite is "To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised." -. . .

Media Propagandists Will Never Play Fair, No Matter How Quality The GOP Candidate Or Lousy The Democrat

 The Federalist


"Donald Trump is neither a kingmaker nor the palace’s HR director charged with hiring the next court jester. He didn’t make the Republican Party, and he didn’t destroy her fortunes. And Trump did not downgrade the red tsunami to a splash. The schizophrenic election results that included both Trump-endorsed winners and losers show that. 

"Like all else in politics, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. But no matter where that line falls, conservatives need to accept the reality that the Democrat Party, Fetterman loyals, faux Republicans, and the corrupt corporate media don’t care: They aren’t going to like us, they won’t represent us fairly, and they aren’t going to vote Republican. 

"A Democrat Party that props up an elderly man with obvious signs of mental decay to run as the party’s presidential candidate cares only about power. And voters casting their ballots for the same man, or the even more cognitively challenged Democrat candidate who just won the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate seat, see only one thing: the “D” next to the candidate’s name

"The establishment press likewise plays for team Democrat, and conservatives won’t change that even if they nominate the most milquetoast moderate candidate willing to don a scarlet R. Enter stage right, 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The press portrayed the inoffensive Romney as an animal abuser and denigrator of the women brimming over from his business binders. 

"The media will never play fair, as CNN’s Candy Crowley established when she moderated the Obama-Romney presidential debate. So in the pocket for the Democrat Party was the press that Crowley took no pause before conducting a live and incorrect fact-check of Romney when the GOP contender exposed then-Democrat President Barack Obama’s delay in branding the deadly Sept. 11 assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya as an act of “terror” — something Obama falsely claimed he had done during his White House Rose Garden press conference held the following day.". . .

Bidenworld. . .A Hobbesian world in which human lives are “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”

 



Once Democrats drain America’s dependence on fossil fuels, we will revert to a Hobbesian world in which, for most, life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” Fossil fuel is responsible for everything in our world: food, clothing, shelter, medical care, transportation, heat in the winter, air conditioning in the summer, and the end of human chattel labor by substituting machines for slaves. Add in the deliberate breakdown of our transport sector in the form of air and rail strikes, and we Americans are in deep doo-doo.. . .



CNN Adds Don Lemon’s New Show to its Long List of Failures

It seems like CNN’s only chance at accomplishing anything as a network is to just start boasting about their sheer number of failures, which may be approaching a Guinness world record. Even if CNN executives woke up tomorrow and decided to actually start reporting honest news, the respect they’ve lost from Americans is irreparable. Tim Young is the media and culture critic for American Greatness.

American Greatness.  "Yet another CNN venture has failed to grab the attention of American viewers: Don Lemon’s new show “CNN This Morning,” which turns out to be just as sleepy and lame as it sounds. They would have been better off calling the show something more creative like “Cup o’ Propaganda,” or “Is Anybody Even Watching This?”.  At least those titles would have been honest about the quality of the content the viewers were about to receive.

"The Left’s grip on media control is slipping, and there is really no better example than CNN, which has about the same level of credibility as gas station sushi. The only people who still take CNN seriously are the people who double mask alone in their cars or say they welcome all immigrants and then deport them from their island 48 hours after they arrive. You know, the real intellectual and moral superiors of society.

"I cannot remember a time when CNN, Don Lemon, or any of their other DNC talking points-pushing hosts were in the news for anything positive. At this point, whenever I see Don Lemon’s name is trending, I just assume he’s finally been fired from the network for either bad ratings or a claim of misconduct outside of their studios. And I have to believe we’re getting closer and closer to that day, because the launch of the new show, which also features two people you’ve probably never heard of—Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins—only reached a total of 387,000 viewers. To put that number in perspective, Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” averaged 1.5 million on the same days. 

"The last time the letters CNN came up in an enjoyable clip, Arizona gubernatorial candidate and scourge of the fake news industry, Kari Lake, shut down CNN’s Kyung Lah when she requested an interview. “I’ll do an interview . . . as long as it airs on CNN+” Lake snarkily


remarked to the reporter. “Does that still exist? I didn’t think so, because the people don’t like what you guys are peddling, which is propaganda.”

"Lake was absolutely correct. CNN has lost the respect of everyday Americans, and lost the eyes of the people who tuned in to them for years because “the walls were closing in” on Donald Trump. CNN executives’ inability to correct the problem they’ve created for themselves is most likely beyond the point of no return, and is exemplified every time they launch a total flop of a segment or show, or hire a new left-wing lunatic host.". . .

What about MSNBC and its ship of fools; Ali Velshi, Joe Scarborough, Joyless Joy Reid, Nicolle Wallace and other forgettable faux tv personalities?  "A majority of Americans distrust the media and view the press as a threat. And as usual, the media seems utterly clueless that they have created the darkness in which democracy dies.Rod Thomson
