Scott Jennings takes on CNN; The latest conservative star inspires by pushing back twice as hard

  Don Surber

"My guess is he won’t flip because he still lives in Kentucky. And best of all, he is giving almost daily lessons on how to take on liberals and communists by doing your homework and refusing to accept the reality they present."

 

 There will never be another Rush Limbaugh and yet conservatives search for one because we have hope and optimism. We said there would never be another Ronald Reagan but then along came Donald Trump. One of the things he did was get fake conservatives—Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, George Will and the entire cast at National Review—to self-deport. 
"Candace Owens was a shooting star who fell in love with numbers and tried to boost her audience by saying nutty things to appear edgy. When that didn’t work, she went nuttier. She now faces a defamation lawsuit for calling the wife of the president of France a man. Never mind that Madam Macron birthed three kids, Owens is sticking to her guns. 
"What can I say about Tucker Carlson that you already don’t know? Some men have a career that craters. His Qatar-ed.
"There are others who flamed out but I am too lazy to make a list. 
" Scott Jennings, 48, is a radio host who served in the Bush 43 administration. He did such a good job that Democrats hauled him in front of a congressional hearing.
" Jennings helped Mitch McConnell get re-elected in 2014—always a difficulty for the Turtle. Two years later, Jennings’ PAC, Kentuckians for Strong Leadership, helped give Republicans a super majority in that state’s legislature.
 CNN signed him up in 2017 as a paid panelist. But only in the past couple of years has he made much of a mark because unlike many conservative foils on these TV panels and in newspaper columns, Jennings fights. He’s the opposite of whatever David French is these days. For example, former Obama staffer Nayyera Haq said Iran really was winning. 
 HAQ: The meme war and internet propaganda—which is something the Iranians have actually been known for influencing. So they had—for all of our talk on our side of people killed in the regime—they’ve been pushing through multiple channels around the world images of American army generals, military who also lost their jobs at this time. Again, this way looks like the public perception is [that] the United States [isn’t] locked and loaded working in one direction.
JENNINGS: Do you think the Iranians would rather have their entire navy back or their memes?
"He does not enter these little skirmishes lightly. He does his homework. He knows their argument before they make it." . . . More...

Now We Know What ‘Maximum Warfare, Everywhere, All the Time’ Means

 The American Spectator   

You don’t condemn political violence by pretending not to know where it came from. That’s an excuse for it, not a condemnation. We’ve put up with this dodge whereby Democrats, every time their assassination-porn rhetoric results in one of their crazies doing what they’ve been weaponized to do, follow behind them with “this is a problem on both sides.”  

Joe made the case for assassination, and many responded

 "On Wednesday of last week, Hakeem Temu Obama Jeffries, the hand-talking cretin who serves as the Democrats’ leader in the House of Representatives, declared after the Virginia gerrymandering bill passed by a close margin (before being immediately blocked by a judge based on its manifest legal infirmities) that his party was to engage in “Maximum Warfare, Everywhere, All The Time” against President Trump, the Republican Party and its supporters.

"And then, almost as if by magic, on Saturday, we got a demonstration of Maximum Warfare, when a would-be assassin who looks a little like Hakeem Jeffries and believes all the same things Jeffries does, rushed the security cordon of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner armed with a pistol, a rifle, and a couple of knives. Cole Allen, the failed murderer, was a teacher and activist Democrat from Torrance, California; his manifesto, released on the advent of his commencement of Maximum Warfare against the Trump administration, makes him out to be a garden-variety leftist whose views track almost line for line with what’s said on CNN and MSNOW, not to mention in the pages of The Atlantic and the Huffington Post. 

"Cole Allen is less extreme than Hasan Piker. And certainly less extreme than Jamie Raskin. And yet there he was, mostly naked and fully disarmed on the carpet of the Washington Hilton following his failed attempt at John Wilkes Booth/Charles Guiteau/Leon Czolgosz-style immortality, almost bizarrely still alive and primed for sure Luigi Mangione treatment by the modern Democrat Party." . . .

. . . "One can’t help but be reminded of 2017, when a Bernie Bro loser from Illinois named James Hodgkinson, who had volunteered for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign the previous year, brought a rifle to Washington, staked out the Republican congressional baseball team’s practice sessions, and then did what he could to harvest as many of the participants as possible.

"Hodgkinson damn near killed Steve Scalise, and he shot a couple of security people, before somebody turned his lights out. Why?

"Well, maybe it was because he followed a leftist politician who traipsed all over the country demanding a “political revolution in this country.” . . .

"If Barack Obama had a son, he’d look (and act) like Cole Allen. We all know this.

"The Democrat Party is upset about what happened at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday. There is no doubt about that. But they aren’t upset about the attempt at a Trump assassination. They’re upset that it failed.

"The system is what it does. And what it does is to produce saboteurs, rioters, criminals, and assassins.

"Let’s stop pretending the Left wants what the rest of us want. That hasn’t been true in decades. What they want is power, ostensibly to perfect human society along their prescriptions.

"Maximum power." . . . More...

New York’s Radical LGBTQ Policies Target Catholic Nuns

These ladies received no citations from the state’s Department of Health, yet they are still being targeted.

The American Spectator


"The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who have been caring for patients with terminal cancer for over 125 years, are being sent warning letters from the state of New York for refusing to adhere to the Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights for LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers and People Living with HIV Act.

"The Spectator P.M. Podcast hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo give insight into the case and how these nuns are being attacked by the state for their religious beliefs. Ellie and Lyrah continue to sound the alarm on the harms of transgenderism and express disappointment toward the state for continuing to push the ideology." . . .. Podcast at the link

Nuns Caring for Terminally Ill Sue New York Over Transgender Mandate

. . . "The nuns take in terminally ill patients who have no one to care for them.

"According to EWTN News, the state’s public health agency sent the nuns three letters, accusing them of not complying with a 2023 New York law for “refusing to assign a room to a resident other than in accordance with the resident’s gender identity,” “prohibiting a resident from using a restroom available to other persons of the same gender identity,” and “willfully and repeatedly failing to use a resident’s preferred name or pronouns after being clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns.”

"The New York Legislature passed “The Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights for LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers and People Living with HIV” in 2023.

"The nuns filed a complaint on April 6, claiming the law violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

"We all know Catholic teachingsBut complying with the state’s rules is not an option for them, since the directives contradict their Catholic faith, the sisters told the National Catholic Register, the sister partner of EWTN News. The Catholic Church teaches that sex can’t be changed or separated from gender, although it also says people identifying as transgender must be treated with respect and compassion."

Sorry; wrong nuns.

May God richly bless these ladies. 


Palisades arsonist became 'fixated' with Luigi Mangione before deadly blaze: prosecutors

 NY Post   

"These insufferable younger generations with their hands out perpetually. How on Gods green earth do they believe someone else OWES Them a future or survival . It’s absolutely exhausting how these people incessantly complain and spew vitriol against people who’ve had success in life . Grow up."  Reader comment


"The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become “fixated” on Luigi Mangione in the lead-up to the deadly blaze — and then allegedly suggested the inferno was started out of “resentment of the rich,” prosecutors said.

"Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, was obsessed with the accused health care CEO killer and had routinely searched “free Luigi Mangione” and “lets take down all the billionaires” online, court documents show.

"In the weeks and hours before allegedly sparking the blaze that triggered the catastrophic Palisades Fire, Rinderknecht — who worked as an Uber driver — ranted to customers about Mangione’s arrest, too.

“Many of defendant’s Uber passengers on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, described defendant as angry, intense, driving erratically, and ranting about being ‘pissed off at the world’ and Luigi Mangione, capitalism, and vigilantism,” prosecutors noted in a trial memorandum." . . .More...  

This specimen, Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass are a combination typical of the once-great state of California. Please take that in the spirit which it was intended. TD

Can Our Civilization Survive Its Betrayal By Elites?

  HotAir  

"Our societies have become suicidal, sometimes in a literal way (ask Canadians about that). Our elites have flooded our countries with barbarians who are raping and murdering." 

This is an elite?

"Sometimes you have to wonder what the point of fighting the decline of Western Civilization is. 

"It seems inevitable, and enough people seem to tolerate it that it's easy to think about giving up, moving someplace where the deterioration will take longer or be avoided by a large enough concentration of people who share our values, so sanity will prevail. 

"I continue to believe this attitude is wrong, morally, strategically, and tactically. It may be tempting to go down that path, but we are not put on this Earth to do easy things; we are put here to do important things, which are often hard. 

"I have taken to keeping a running tab of outrageous stories about crime, not because I am obsessed with or worry much about crime impacting me, but because the evolving attitude about crime in Western societies is symptomatic of a larger cultural disease." . . .

Elizabeth Warren 1, Spirit Airlines 0

 The Morning Briefing: Elizabeth Warren's Commie Dreams Just Killed 17,000 Jobs – PJ Media

AfterMath - Home

Another victim of the Democrats.  . . . "President Trump tried but failed to engineer a $500 million dollar bailout. Government bailouts are anathema in principle to free markets, but in this case it can be argued that government obstructionism made Spirit’s desperate push for the bailout inevitable.

"During its death spiral, Spirit abandoned 90 routes and dropped from 23,000 jobs in 2023 to about 7500 as of a week ago. Now, zero. Meanwhile, the upper management of American, Delta, Southwest, and United Airlines are likely (quietly) grateful to Senator Warren and her Massachusetts constituents, who continue to stick with her through thick and thin."

Elizabeth Warren Gets Wrecked by Community Notes for Trying to Spin Spirit Airlines Comments – RedState

Warren was shredded on X for her shameless spin.

What was marvelous was that she then got wrecked with a couple of savage Community Notes, which didn't let her get away with that contradiction. They reminded her how she called it a "Biden win for flyers," but now, with the shutdown, there were fewer flights and less competition.

Safe to say, she was ratioed into oblivion. " . . . More...

 Warren blames Spirit Airlines closure on Iran war after advocating against JetBlue-Spirit merger | Just The News  

“The 14,000 employees at Spirit who’ve lost their job loss, the travelers who will now pay higher fares, and the shareholders and debt holders who have been wiped out can thank Elizabeth Warren,” Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) wrote on X on Saturday. “Electing left politicians, who have ZERO business experience, has consequences.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz reposted a critical Warren post and wrote, “Stunning.” . . . 

..."I've warned for months that a  @JetBlue - @SpiritAirlines  merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR  and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation," she wrote on X. "This is a Biden win for flyers!"...
