Clash Daily; GEORGE STEPHANOPOLOUS, ANOTHER SHIFTY CHARACTER: Courtesy of the Democrats! "Another guy who the Democrats allowed near the levers of power, who also, just happened to be a crook. There is no double ethical standard in politics and the Media. There is only one standard…and it is very rigorous. It applies only to conservatives. No other standard exists. None."

"Not when your number one mentor Valerie Jarrett assumed the number
two General in the United States Army at the time, four-star General
Chiarelli, was a waiter at a White House event. Maybe the taxpayer
funded booze was a wee strong for Jarrett – the drinks always are when
somebody else is buying – but really, confusing the number two guy in
the Army with a waiter? Really?
[I]t still must be pointed out that if a journalist were exposed as giving money to the Koch Brothers charities and then reported on them, there would be howls for his scalp throughout the media. The rules are different for liberals. Analysts who wonder about the shrinking audience for such shows and networks whose political coverage is drenched in the tired rhetoric of liberalism need wonder no more. Stephanopoulos’s lack of transparency i[n] this story is just one more piece of evidence indicting mainstream outlets for outrageous and blatant liberal bias.
But it has ramifications far beyond the media bubble.
President Obama had the following to say on the passing of American icon B.B. King:
“The blues has lost its king, and America has lost a legend. B.B. King was born a sharecropper’s son in Mississippi, came of age in Memphis, Tennessee, and became the ambassador who brought his all-American music to his country and the world. No one worked harder than B.B. No one inspired more up-and-coming artists. No one did more to spread the gospel of the blues.
Three years ago, Michelle and I hosted a blues concert at the White House. I hadn’t expected that I’d be talked into singing a few lines of “Sweet Home Chicago” with B.B. by the end of the night, but that was the kind of effect his music had, and still does. He gets stuck in your head, he gets you moving, he gets you doing the things you probably shouldn’t do – but will always be glad you did. B.B. may be gone, but that thrill will be with us forever. And there’s going to be one killer blues session in heaven tonight.”
Geraldo on Stephanopoulos apology: ABC fired me over $200 donation"Rivera discussed the issue on FOX and Friends this week:"
Geraldo Rivera on Friday questioned why he was fired from ABC News 30 years ago for making a $200 political donation to a family friend, while the network appears to be standing firm behind George Stephanopoulos, who apologized Thursday for donating $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
“In 1985, after fifteen great years, I was fired by ABC News,” Mr. Rivera wrote in a Facebook post, Mediaite reported. “The official reason for my firing was a non-disclosed $200 donation to a family friend running in a non-partisan mayoral campaign in New Bedford Massachusetts.”
ABC Faces Credibility Crisis Over Stephanopoulos Donations . . .
The boycotting of Israel is a fashionable cause that brings learned fools out in droves. Everyone and his aunt glow with righteous wrath when the boycott show hits town. Clever people love to hang their faculty gowns on the peg of anti-Zionism.American Thinker "It took a George Orwell to point out that higher learning and stupidity make a regular couple. “There are notions so foolish that only an intellectual will believe them,” wrote Orwell, laconic and lucid together. The luminary of that era who left a bonanza of political idioms, among them “Big Brother,” “Doublethink”, and “More equal than others,” found that intelligent people can be gullible people. He’s a reminder that professors may lack a modicum of common sense. He learnt that to parley with learned people may be to parley with fools. We don’t have to upturn rocks to uncover Orwell types. Look no further than a fashionable cause or a conventional wisdom and you’d find them – fool believers clinging for dear life to nonsensical notions.
The bill, which would force Illinois’ five state pension funds to divest from any company supporting boycotts of Israel, passed by a 10-0 vote through a key executive committee on Wednesday and is now on its way to a full vote in the state’s legislature, where it is expected to garner widespread support.
The measure has been championed by newly installed Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who has been pushing for such a bill since before his election in 2014, when he defeated Democrat Pat Quinn.

. . . "As horrific as the states’ rights and slavery issues were considering
the toll they took on the country, at least they were situations that
mattered and worth the time and effort to resolve them. Take for
example, the ongoing mission of the divider and chief, Barack Obama and
his embittered wife, First Lady Michelle Obama. Just recently, Mrs.
Obama gave a commencement address at the historic Tuskegee University in
Alabama. Instead of encouraging the hopeful graduates to go seek
opportunities and to be the best they can be, she chose to focus upon
the wasteful topic of the limitations of racism.
