Colbert Clearly Doesn't Have 'It' Anymore

Michael Katz 

"When asked by Darcy whether Colbert dropping the F-bomb on Trump threatened the future of the deal, Carr replied: "lol, no," according to the Post"

"Federal Communications Chair Brendan Carr chided late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert after Colbert made a profane response to President Donald Trump's glee that the comedian's show was being canceled, saying Colbert "clearly doesn't have 'it' anymore."

"In a Friday post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show." In response, Colbert said during his opening monologue Monday, "Go f*** yourself."I think it's just sad," Carr said in response to a text from Oliver Darcy, a journalist for Status News, the New York Post reported Wednesday. "Colbert clearly doesn't have 'it' anymore – if he ever did. I don't know if it's from TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome] or something else.

"He's paid millions of dollars to be funny and entertaining, and he's just not able to make it work. He's gotta feel bad about how the end is playing out."

"CBS announced Thursday that "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" would end in May after the upcoming broadcast season, saying the decision was "purely financial" against a "challenging backdrop in late night" and not  "related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."

"Paramount, CBS' parent company, reached a $16 million settlement with Trump over a heavily edited "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris that attempted to give the former vice president a favorable impression before the 2024 election. The FCC also is weighing a long-awaited $8.4 billion merger between Skydance and Paramount." . . .

Jonathan Turley: Politicians and Pundits Call for an Investigation into Colbert’s Cancelation  "In Washington, Democratic politicians are calling for a congressional investigation, while in New York; the Writers’ Guild is asking New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) for a state probe. No, the issue is not the use of the autopen by Biden staff to carry out presidential functions or the crisis in public education. No, it is the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” by CBS.

"The outrage over the show’s cancellation is the latest example of presumed entitlement from the left, which suggests that the government, universities, and corporations should subsidize their preferred news and entertainment. Call it the NPR syndrome."  MORE

Good News! U.S. Olympic Officials Finally Side With Women

 PJ Media 

According to the Times, "Those new rules still allow trans women to compete, but only in the men’s category. The policy says that nonbinary athletes, transgender men, and intersex athletes will also be limited to competing in the men’s category."

"After years of coming up with ways to dodge the issue, the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) quietly changed its rules about eligibility for the sexes earlier this week. It will now ban "transgender women" from participating in all women's sports. That means that a man who thinks he is or pretends to be a woman can only play with the other guys, and women are safe to compete without worrying about men in their locker rooms or coming at them with unfair advantages on the court, on the field, on the track, in the pool, etc. 

"The new policy is tucked away in the "USOPC Athlete Safety Policy" and doesn't mention trans women or anything of that nature specifically, but it reads:

The USOPC is committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport. The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities, e.g., IOC, IPC, NGBs, to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act, 36 U.S.C § 22501, et. seq. 

"Executive Order 14201, of course, is the one entitled "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports," which President Donald Trump signed in February. It calls for the country to "protect opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports" by rescinding funding to education programs that "deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities." 

" 'The committee’s new policy means that the national governing bodies of sports federations in the United States — which oversee sporting events for all ages, from youth to masters’ competitions — now must follow the USOPC.'s lead, according to several chief executives of sports within the Olympic movement," according to the New York Times. 

"Basically, the governing bodies of each individual sport can't make their own decisions about this topic any longer. 

"For example, last week, USA Fencing changed its own policies to prevent biological men from competing in women's categories. Previously, its biological male athletes could register under whatever sex they wanted as long as they'd completed "one calendar year (12 months) of testosterone suppression treatment.' "  . . .

Tulsi Is About to Drop More Evidence Against Barack Obama

DNI Releases Docs Showing 'Putin Backs Trump' Reports Were Bogus  . . ."The claim that Putin preferred Trump and tried to help him win did not meet professional Intelligence Community standards, according to the documents. The claim was based on "one scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence" from a flawed report.

"That single line became the only classified evidence cited to support the Trump-preference claim." . . .

Legacy media outlets largely silent on Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell Obama administration claims   . . ."CNN mentioned the Gabbard bombshell twice from the time Fox News Digital first reported the news on Friday afternoon through Monday, the first time on Saturday morning and the second time on Monday's installment of "The Lead with Jake Tapper."

"Tapper invited Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., to bash Gabbard's report, insisting she was trying to get back into Trump's good graces after initial intel reports watered down the effectiveness of Trump's airstrike on Iran's nuclear facilities, while also trying to distract the country's attention from the Jeffrey Epstein case. 

"MSNBC, meanwhile, spent more time downplaying Gabbard's report and similarly suggested Republicans are using it to distract from unflattering news.

" 'The latest distraction comes from the national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, who put out a baseless report Friday accusing the Obama administration of manufacturing intelligence that laid the groundwork for the FBI’s Russia probe into Trump," MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin said." . . . 

Office of ex-US president breaks precedent and warns that allegations of attempted ‘coup’ are ‘attempt at distraction’  . . ."The statement went on to criticize claims made in an 11-page document released last week by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, who said she was passing evidence of what she claimed was a “treasonous conspiracy” among Obama national security officials to the justice department, recommending their prosecution." . . .

Tulsi Is About to Drop More Evidence Against Barack Obama  . . ."She didn’t stop there. “We will be pulling a whole host of statements that were made by the Obama administration, by Hillary Clinton, by senior Democrat officials, by their friends in the media,” she said. “They state over and over again after this January 2017 manufactured intelligence document was created that repeat the narrative.”

"Gabbard laid out a damning list of examples. “The New York Times says, ‘Russian hackers acted to aid Trump in the election,’” she quoted. “Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan says, ‘There is strong consensus among us… to support the CIA claim Russian hackers aided Donald Trump’s election.’”

"And of course, Hillary Clinton’s infamous refrain: “I would be president if not for the Russian hackers supporting Donald Trump.”

“ 'There is a vast body of evidence and intelligence that debunks and refutes this statement you’ve just read and others coming from some of the Democrat leaders in Congress today,” Gabbard concluded." . . .  Tulsi Gabbard

oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the LIE that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election. In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people, working with their partners in the media to promote the lie, in order to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, essentially enacting a years-long coup against him.

John MacArthur: Helping Americans Count Angels on the Heads of Pins; America has lost one of its preeminent Protestant thought leaders.

 The American Spectator  

"Having bequeathed a huge body of scholarship and Biblical exegesis to his subsequent generations, John MacArthur can now count for himself the angels on the heads of pins."

"John McArthur, the de facto leader of one of American Protestantism’s major contemporary wings, died on July 14, 2026, at the age of 86. The son and grandson of preachers, MacArthur was the author of more than 150 books and pamphlets; was still active in the pulpit of his church, Grace Community Church of Sun Valley, California, and head of his Master’s University and Master’s Seminary; and hosted a daily radio program/media ministry, Grace To You.

"For all of MacArthur’s religious activity, including recent “road show” appearances with fellow Fundamentalist and Reform figures, he broke into prominence in the mainstream culture during the panic-ridden COVID days. He steadfastly refused to obey the commands of county and state to close his church, halt services, and institute a mandatory mask-wearing policy. He said that if he were arrested, he would begin a prison ministry when incarcerated. Grace Community eventually was compensated by Gavin Newsom’s California and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to the tune of $800,000.

"This action represented MacArthur’s evolving involvement in politics, which included a statement that all “real Christians” should vote for Donald Trump. Ben Shapiro, on his podcast following MacArthur’s death, paid tribute to a sincere friend and sincere believer in his spiritual foundations. Shapiro recalled how, in one interview, MacArthur spent a full 30 minutes lovingly explaining the Gospel to him, attempting religious conversion. Shapiro, a Jew, was not convinced, but acknowledged MacArthur’s clear respect and concern for the condition of people’s souls.

"In his role as a Bible scholar, he produced a Study Bible, the Legacy Standard Bible, basically an update of the New American Standard version. It has sold more than 2 million copies and has been translated into two dozen languages.

"Through such activities, John MacArthur became prominent beyond his spiritual base, which could roughly be characterized as Reformed. His influence indeed bled far, with his books, appearances, and pulpit activity; assiduously, he taught in weekly sermons the entire Bible, verse by verse, totaling decades of methodical messages. Otherwise, MacArthur’s theology was difficult to label: He was born Baptist; attended Bob Jones University and Biola University; adopted elements of Calvinism, even hyper-Calvinism, including predestinarianism and a pre-millennial eschatology. If a distinction must be drawn, John MacArthur was more a teacher than a preacher" . . .
