CNN Panelist Drops the Hard Truth About Biden's Speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner –

  RedState

"It’s a sad state of affairs because the nation actually could benefit from a journalistic establishment that valued its role in holding power to account. We don’t have that, though. Instead, we have a press establishment that is simply an extension of the Democratic Party."

"Not a joke!"

"Saturday night’s White House Correspondents Dinner was exactly what you’d expect it to be. Namely, it was a partisan cluster filled with journalists cosplaying as celebrities that seal-clapped for Joe Biden even as he mocked them for their slavish devotion. Well, it was that and also yet another example of the president’s ever-diminishing mental capacity.

"The pathetic nature of that scene wasn’t lost on everyone, though. Scott Jennings, who offered his critique on CNN of all places, pointed out how pathetic it was for the press to clap along to a president making fun of the fact that they are completely in the tank.

. . ." Jennings’ commentary was made even more impactful by the fact that the rest of the panelists were drooling over Biden’s speech. They should feel as betrayed and belittled as those who watched the president mock them in person."

Instead, he took the jersey, stared into the abyss for a few moments, and wandered away aimlessly while the visibly confused crowd looked on.". . .

. . ."I dislike Biden passionately — corrupt sellout careerist goon that he has always been — but stuff like this stirs some sort of sympathy for him, and that makes me uncomfortable. I don’t want to feel those sorts of things toward a creature like Biden". . .

Ousted From Fox, Tucker Carlson Still Misleads His Viewers

Nonetheless, he is correct that we lack legitimate debate about crucial issues today. But his rationale is backward.

  The Lid (lidblog.com)   "This discourse occurred mere hours before Carlson, in his first utterance since being dismissed by Fox News, tweeted out a video arguing that he now realizes how “unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are.”

"Did Carlson ever comprehend this during his long career across multiple networks? The disingenuous statement came roughly 48 hours after Fox axed him. His lack of respect for the intelligence of his viewers remains troubling.

"Carlson went on to claim that “the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all. War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources—when did you hear a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It’s been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media. Both political parties and their donors have reached a consensus on what benefits them, and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it.”. . .

. . ."We don’t live in a “one-party state,” as Carlson and his acolytes claim. We live in tribal bubbles, and yes, media corporations like the ones Carlson took gobs of money from do cater to the tastes of bubble-dwelling viewers who seek performative politics over substance. Want a substantive debate? Read a Substack, turn on any of the stellar podcasts out there, or visit a think tank event. Don’t visit a college campus or watch primetime cable news.". . .

Watch Fox News Slide As Tucker Carlson Rises, With Help From Musk

 Wolf Howling; American Thinker

"John Adams said that “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.” That implies good faith as the glue holding the republic together. Today, there is not a scintilla of morality or good faith among our progressives, a narcissistic and historically illiterate group of people who have far more in common with Karl Marx than George Washington." 

. . ."Fox’s decision to silence Tucker Carlson, though, is fundamentally different. Tucker did not commit malfeasance. There was no contract dispute. Tucker was averaging over 3 million viewers per night for Fox, and he was the single most popular primetime show on cable news. The speculations about why Fox canceled Tucker’s show have been ludicrous. Moreover, it appears that Fox is trying to use its position to keep Tucker from broadcasting any shows through 2024. Reports Breitbart:. . .

"The only reasonable explanation for Fox News’s decision is ideological. Tucker is the most popular conservative voice in the U.S. and a cash cow for Fox. Nevertheless, the Murdochs felt they could silence Carlson on a whim, expecting Fox News viewers to just accept their decision.

"Could there be a more fundamental act of disloyalty to Fox’s viewers? Could it have come at a worse time, when conservatives rightly feel that they face an existential threat from progressives set upon a coup?

"Fox is feeling the backlash for this incredible high-handedness. Its ratings are tanking. As Breitbart reports, . . .

What’s truly interesting is just how much blowback Fox is getting from its audience for canceling Carlson’s and Bongino’s shows—something that the brass, including the Murdochs, seem to not have calculated clearly ahead of time. In fact, the ratings crashed in primetime this week and Carlson’s own video released on Twitter on Wednesday evening in its first hour post-publication got more views online than the network’s 8:00 p.m. hour—his old time slot—got in total ratings. For now, the Murdochs think they are above it all and that this too shall pass.

"That is true arrogance". . .

REPORT: Newsmax Offers Tucker Carlson Colossal Deal | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft   . . ."Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News, and now another conservative news outlet, Newsmax, wants him to be more than just the face of the network, and it’s putting on a full-court press to land him.

"Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the news channel is doing everything it can to sweeten the deal for Tucker to come on board — including floating the idea of letting him program the whole channel, not just his own show." . . .

REPORT: Fox News Scheming to Silence Tucker Carlson and Sideline Him Through 2024 Election 

Let’s hope Tucker refuses to play ball and goes to war with FOX News if they follow through on this plan. The media landscape cannot afford to lose Tucker’s indispensable voice.

The Bidens want ‘all books’ available to students, so I got the D.C. library to buy Tara Reade’s memoir

 

The College Fix

OPINION: The Bidens oppose any limits on what books students can read at school so now D.C. students have more options

"Washington, D.C. residents, including students, can soon read a book by Tara Reade, who has accused the president of sexually assaulting her.

“I was asked to respond to your inquiry about Tara Reade’s book Left Out: When the Truth Doesn’t Fit In,” a D.C. Public Library staffer wrote to me on Wednesday. “I was able to find it listed in one of our vendor’s ordering databases, so [I] have placed an order for this title.”. . .

. . ."Reade’s book details “the aftermath of the re-victimization of speaking out about her sexual assault, with then-Senator Joe Biden in 1993,” which led to “shaming, attacks, and threats instigated by the media [that] sent her into a personal tailspin,” according to 
 description on Amazon.

“ 'Tara-rized viciously by cyber bullies, receiving death threats and fearing for her life and those of her family, Tara tells how living with no regret and coming forward was right for her conscience,” the book description states.

"Thanks to my advocacy, all D.C. residents can soon read about this book, just two years after the initial publication.

"I do have a small fear that given the weaponization of the federal government by President Biden against conservatives I may end up on a watchlist, but I go to the Latin Mass, so I am probably already on at least one." . . .

Tara Reade, Absolutism, and the Ideological Undoing of #MeToo - testset

. . .Joe Biden has a well-established history of being a man without adequate physical boundaries. Some would describe his actions as overly-affectionate yet others see the Democratic nominee as a touchy-feely, old creep. But it was not until Tara Reade made accusations of actual sexual assault did the fork in the road appear. . .

 Who is Tara Reade and what are her allegations against Joe Biden? | Joe Biden | The Guardian  . . .A former aide to Biden from his years in the Senate, Reade, now 56, says that in 1993, in a corridor in a Senate office building, he pushed her against a wall and assaulted her, penetrating her with his fingers.". . .

A Year Later, Tara Reade Works to Correct the Record (theintercept.com) This article examines Reade's accusation with more balance:  ..."More appropriate may be a version of the assessment made by Times columnist Michelle Goldberg of the more significant Reade charge: “It would be easier to know what to do with Tara Reade’s accusation that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her if her tale were more solid, or if it were less.”...

Obama and his friends are a perfect illustration of the modern-day elitist Democrat

When Democrats rally against coal-based electricity, they know the homes of regular people will plunge into darkness while their mansions will remain unaffected. 


Obama and his friends are a perfect illustration of the modern-day elitist Democrat - American Thinker   "Just yesterday . . .saw more proof that the mainstream media in the U.S. and beyond are P.R. agencies for the Democrats.

"The media gave great prominence to former president Obama, filmmaker Steven Spielberg, and rock star Bruce Springsteen making a surprise appearance at a Barcelona restaurant with a last-minute dinner reservation on Thursday.

"The BBC carried details about the restaurateur being surprised by the visit and what he served his guests. There were details about the monument that the Obamas, Spielberg, and Springsteen visited.

"Most articles mentioned restaurant staff member Pol Perello posting a photo on Instagram of the staff and chefs posing with the celebrity trio.". . .

. . .Despite being among the ruling class, Democrats such as Michelle Obama frequently use their race to hide behind victimhood whenever they are challenged or subjected to scrutiny.

The only cause this group really believes in is the welfare of themselves.

The likes of AOC are merely following the footsteps of Obama.

The Democrats are responsible for most of the hardships suffered by the working class. 

The Democrats haven't resolved any issues such as gun control, abortion rights, etc., that they claim to certainly stand for, they merely misused issues to scare people into voting for them.". . .

The threat from so-called ‘transgender’ people extends beyond children

 "The violence isn’t surprising: You have the aggression of men, the emotionalism of women, mental illness, and powerful drugs (antidepressants, Ritalin-style stimulants, and massive hormones) all coming together in rage."


Andrea Widberg "So-called “transgenderism” was once a weird sexual-fetish activity that existed at the periphery of American society. It’s now moved front and center, something that is inordinately dangerous. Americans are beginning to understand the danger to our children from a movement that is compulsively and pathologically drawn to children, both for sexual excitement and recruitment, but people need to recognize that the so-called “transgender” crowd is also encouraging itself to be violently dangerous to all Americans.

"Mark Tapson, one of the most insightful writers about cultural issues, has written a powerful essay about the nexus between gender ideology, violence, and, inevitably, full-blown terrorism. The starting point, of course, is the shooting a month ago in Nashville, when Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a mentally-ill biological female who “identifies” as a man, went to an elementary school and slaughtered six people, three of whom were nine-year-old children. We’re still waiting to hear her manifesto. We all know that, if she’d been a Trump supporter, her manifesto would instantly have been revealed.

"He notes that Hale’s shooting is part of an escalating trend that sees so-called “transgender” people engaged in violent rhetoric and committing violent acts either (a) because of the “horror” of being “misgendered,” or (b) because they're incapable of dealing with the rising number of laws making it illegal for medical practitioners to give children toxic drugs and mutilating surgery in pursuit of the fiction that they can be “transformed” into the opposite sex. These so-called "gender-affirming" treatments, of course, are nothing more than for-profit plastic surgery run amok to criminally dangerous extremes." . . .

Dylan Mulvaney reveals his totalitarian side - Thomas Lifson  "Just for writing the headline of this piece (“Dylan Mulvaney reveals his totalitarian side”), I ought to be incarcerated, according to its subject.  My crime: using the correct masculine pronoun. Far from being merely a clownish minstrel show-like demeaning version of a woman, he actually
wants it to be illegal to refer to him by his biological sex, instead of his fantasy of being a woman." I thought it already has been. TD

Democrats Are The Nigerian Princes Of American Politics - American Thinker   "According to the American Heritage dictionary, this is the definition of “Stupid”:

1. Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.

2. Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.

3. Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless.

"That applies to a lot of Americans…Democrat voters in general and, in particular, a majority of blackscollege students, and white college-educated women.". . .

. . ."For fifty years, Democrats told American women that men were superfluous to raising children, but now that’s moot because men can have babies, genetic men are real women, and prepubescent children are mature enough to consent to sex change operations. They tell us with a straight face that the “Woman of the Year” should be a guy who used to be a mediocre men’s swimmer but who dominates when competing against real women.". . .
