The left fat-shames and Southern-shames Sarah Huckabee Sanders

I'm thankful this site stayed away from cartoons mocking Michelle Obama's appearance, but stuck with her racially divisive speeches and statements, especially to college speeches. TD

Monica Showalter  "Most people, when they run out of arguments, just shut up.

Much of the left, however, moves on to attacking the person.  For being the person.  Getting personal.  Bullying.

"So now we have a couple of left-wing male columnists from big self-important newspapers – the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times – attacking Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House employee, for things she can't do anything about.

"The New York Times' Frank Bruni shames Sanders for her Southern accent:

Besides, she's serving a function other than communication, which turns out not to be her forte. (To listen to her pronounce "priorities" is akin to hearing the air seep out of a flat tire, and she leaves half of the consonants on the curb.)

"The Los Angeles Times' David Horsey shames Sanders for her weight and her class, and throws in a shot at the other Trump women, too.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders does not look like the kind of woman Donald Trump would choose as his chief spokesperson. Much like Roger Ailes when he was stocking the Fox News lineup with blond Barbie dolls in short, tight skirts, the president has generally exhibited a preference for sleek beauties with long legs and stiletto heels to represent his interests and act as his arm candy.

. . .  
"Doesn't matter, because this isn't really about extracting an apology.  It's about what it reveals.  Horsey and Bruni can apologize or not apologize, but we all know what they are thinking about all of us.

"Want more Trump?  That's how you get more Trump."

In one of those "as I wrote in my book" moments, The Tunnel Wall addressed this Nov 3rd:

LA Times ‘Fat Shames’ Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Makes Her Look Like A Nazi And Puts Down Moms
. . . "I'm sure cartoonist Horsey, a gifted artist and occasional honest critic of Obama policies, must enjoy the social scene among the LA elite and his cartoons could certainly place him high on the Hollywood social register. I do not know the man and have not chosen to read his thoughts other than those in this post, but figure he likely would enjoy the thought of his work hanging on walls in leftist gathering places.
"This cartoon [praising Obama] surely ingratiated him to the Obamas and their sychophants. The Tunnel Dweller."

The Big Reveal: The Story of How 470,000 Documents from Osama Bin Laden's Compound Finally Got Into the Open

Obama’s theme to win re-election was Al Qaeda was alternately “on the run” or “decimated” or “on the path to defeat.” It was a lie he created and his minions promulgated. He corrupted agencies and people in his cause.

S. Noble    "The administration has released 470,000 files from the Bin Laden raid kept hidden by the Obama administration. Stephen Hayes, in an article at The Weekly Standard, explains why he hid them.

"Barack Obama and his minions literally ignored the best interests of the United States in defense and nationals security without hesitation for the cause.The Abbottabad Documents as they were known were kept from the public and even left untranslated because they didn’t fit the political narrative and that is all that mattered. It mattered beyond truth, beyond fighting terrorism and only winning office and furthering the agenda mattered.

"National Security Advisor at the time Tom Donilon described the haul as enough to fill a “small college library” It was “the single largest collection of senior terrorist materials ever,” he said. While making these comments, they only released 571 documents.

"Why did this happen?

The self-proclaimed “most transparent administration in history” had spent more than five years misleading the American people about the threat from al Qaeda and its offshoots and had paid very little price for having done so. Republicans volubly disputed the president’s more laughable claims—the attack on the Benghazi compound was just a protest gone bad, al Qaeda was on the run, ISIS was the terrorist junior varsity—but the establishment media, certain that Obama’s predecessor had consistently exaggerated the threat, showed little interest in challenging Obama or the intelligence agencies that often supported his spurious case.

Daily Wire  . . . "[Stephen] Hayes delineates how the documents show a much closer relationship between al Qaeda and Iran than had been heretofore assumed. He points out that Obama in his first term centered on how George W. Bush had allegedly ruined the war on terror but the second term was focused on making a deal with the Iranian government. He adds:

In a manner of speaking, Barack Obama wanted what al Qaeda already had: a mutually beneficial partnership with Tehran. Revealing to the American people the truth about Osama bin Laden’s cozy working relationship with the Iranian government might have fatally undermined that diplomatic quest, just as the ongoing vitality of al Qaeda, amply testified to in the bin Laden documents, would have contradicted Obama’s proud claims in 2012 that al Qaeda was “on the run.” So Obama, with the eager cooperation of some in the intelligence community, bottled up the bin Laden documents and ran out the clock.

Trust Donna Brazile, Democrats: You're better off without Clinton and Obama

Washington Examiner  "Donna Brazile called Sen. Bernie Sanders in September 2016 in her capacity as interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She had some bad news for him, although we use the word "news" loosely here, for what she told him had been obvious for a long time; the presidential primary had been rigged against him to help Hillary Clinton win." . . .
. . . 
"One assumes that if Clinton had not gone down in flames and had instead won the White House, Brazile would not have come forward with a bombshell about corruption at the DNC. So why is Brazile now attacking Clinton? Is it just kicking her while she is down? That seems unlikely. Much more plausible is that Brazile is again doing her bit for the party and, a year before presidential wannabes start emerging from the shadows, is trying to make sure Hillary never tries a comeback, never again runs for president." . . .

All cartoons added

. . . "To be fair to the DNC, it didn't enter this agreement simply because it thought Clinton a preferable candidate, although that was part of it. No, the committee was bust. It had no money for the campaign. It was on the brink of collapse. So it was vulnerable to a hostile takeover. Clinton could make it an offer it couldn't refuse.

"For this, the party can thank former President Barack Obama. Brazile writes, “Obama’s neglect had left the party in significant debt” to the tune of $24 million. Gensler told Brazile, “The campaign had to do it or the party would collapse.” It's worth noting, therefore, that Obama not only wrecked the party across the country by helping it lose about 1,000 legislative seats at the state level but also left it financially crippled.

"Almost no one knew about the debt, not even senior officers of the party, Brazile included. When she found out, she screamed, “I am an officer of the party and they’ve been telling us everything is fine and they were raising money with no problems.” The whole thing was a big lie, which makes it entirely predictable that it was presided over by Clinton, who lies even when she says "but" and "and," as the saying goes.

"Brazile's expose is a deliberate blow by the party to smash the Clinton machine." . . .

Hillary Clinton Merits a Special Counsel  

"Hillary Clinton staged a political coup worthy of a banana republic. Brazile has confirmed that Hillary Clinton was engaging in money-laundering to help her campaign." . . .

Hillary Clinton has become the J.R. Ewing of the Democratic Party.
. . . "Just as "everyone knew" about Harvey Weinstein but said nothing, Democrats had long ago learned to avoid, at all costs, offending the Clintons, while pretending to like them.  They sold their political souls to a devil, and they are paying the political price.  Pray for them that they lose no more soul than that." . . .

Hillary Clinton is every bit the sociopathic, sadistic schemer Ewing was.  Able to look a grieving mother in the eye and lie to her, saying her son, a true American hero, was killed at Benghazi because of a video instead of by Clinton-Obama malfeasance, Hillary revealed to many of us a peek into the dark depths of depravity that is the Clinton soul.

Boise State Prof attacked for article “Transgender Activists Are Seeking to Undermine Parental Rights”

Legal Insurrection  “ 'A petition to fire Mr. Yenor has garnered more than 2,000 signatures.' ”

"Scott Yenor teaches political science at Boise State University.

"He wrote an essay in which he claimed that allowing children to choose their gender undermines the family and parental rights. Social justice warriors are now calling for his firing.

"Even the outspoken progressive professor Camille Paglia has stated that she believes indulging children in transgenderism is a form of child abuse. Yet the left is treating Yenor as a heretic.

"It all began when he wrote this at the Daily Signal:

Transgender Activists Are Seeking to Undermine Parental Rights

Winning public sanction for same-sex marriage was the last great feminist victory. Same-sex marriage undermined sex roles within marriage. It put children ever more outside the purpose of marriage. It reinforced the idea that all means of sexual satisfaction are equal.

Where will the radical feminist revolution roll to next? . . .

 . . .
"One of the people leading the charge against Yenor is the school’s Director of Student Diversity and Inclusion who wrote the following about Yenor’s essay in a post on the school’s website titled Connecting The Dots:" . . .

Starbucks’ New CEO Rosalind Brewer Doesn’t Really Like White Guys

Conservative Forever "Howard Schultz was the liberal CEO of Starbucks who desperately supported Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

"He even threatened to dismiss the investors if they don’t support gay marriage."

"Currently, he is only an executive chairman and his replacement is Rosalind Brewer (right).

"According to Silence is Consent, Brewer has shared many statements that can be described as controversial. Back in 2015, during her interview with CNN, she expressed that she has a problem with white men in America."

 . . . "According to The Washington Post: “My executive team is very diverse, and I make that a priority,” she told Harlow. “I demand it of my team and within the structure. And then, every now and then, you have to nudge your partners, and you have to speak up and speak out. And I try to use my platform for that. … I try to set an example. I try to mentor many women inside my company and outside the company because I think it’s important.

“ 'And I talk to my suppliers about it. Just today we met with a supplier, and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males. That was interesting. I decided not to talk about it directly with [the supplier’s] folks in the room because there were actually no females, like, levels down. So I’m going to place a call to him.”

"Many people thought that her statement is racist and sexist. She even addressed to her suppliers by claiming that they are discriminating the women and the minorities by employing white men only.

"Brewer probably is fitting perfectly at Starbucks. If she sees a problem with her company, she will probably use her CEO position to fix the discrimination issue."

LA Times ‘Fat Shames’ Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Makes Her Look Like A Nazi And Puts Down Moms

From Wikipedia, about David Horsey comes this excerpt:  . . . "In November 2017 he penned a column for the Los Angeles Times attacking Donald Trump's press secretary. He included criticisms of her looks and attire. After being criticized for the comment he apologized and they were removed from his column. His cartoons have also pictured her in an ugly way." . . .

From Fox News:  David Horsey body shamed White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders   . . . "It’s curious to think what Horsey, who is politically correct when it’s convenient, would feel about fat shaming Sanders on a day when it doesn’t fit his anti-Trump agenda. It should be noted that Horsey doesn’t only shame the appearance of females, as he has mocked Trump in cartoons, calling him a “bloated orange mess,” among other things."

. . . 

"Shortly after Fox News asked for comment, the Times removed all references to Sanders’ appearance and added a note from Horsey." . . .

But comedians will love him for it.

"LA Times makes Sarah Huckabee Sanders a Nazi and fat shames her. And puts down soccer moms.

"Here’s their lovely description:
"Via LA Times:

Sarah Huckabee Sanders does not look like the kind of woman Donald Trump would choose as his chief spokesperson. Much like Roger Ailes when he was stocking the Fox News lineup with blond Barbie dolls in short, tight skirts, the president has generally exhibited a preference for sleek beauties with long legs and stiletto heels to represent his interests and act as his arm candy.

Trump’s daughter Ivanka and wife Melania are the apotheosis of this type. By comparison, Sanders looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids’ games. Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she’d be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes. Yet, even if Trump privately wishes he had a supermodel for a press secretary, he is lucky to have Sanders.

I'm sure cartoonist Horsey, a gifted artist and occasional honest critic of Obama policies, must enjoy the social scene among the LA elite and his cartoons must certainly place him high on the Hollywood social register. I do not know the man and have not chosen to read his thoughts other than those in this post, but figure he must enjoy the thought of his work hanging on walls in leftist gathering places.
This cartoon below surely ingratiated him to the Obamas and their sychophants. The Tunnel Dweller.

Horsey's screed following the cartoon kerfuffle begs the whole apology

Nearly 1 In 5 Millennials Consider Joseph Stalin And Kim Jong Un ‘Heroes’

The Daily Caller  "The poll demonstrated an increase in acceptance of socialism and communism among American millennials and was released by the Victims of Communism Memorial Fund.

"One-half of millennials and one-third of Americans would prefer to reside in a socialist or communist nation instead of a capitalist democracy, according to the poll.

“ 'One in five (23%) of Americans age 21-29 consider Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin a ‘hero’; 26% for Vladimir Lenin; 23% for Kim Jong Un,” the study notes. Furthermore, over one-fifth of millennials surveyed had a positive opinion of Karl Marx.

“ 'Millennials are increasingly turning away from capitalism and toward socialism and even communism as a viable alternative,” said Marion Smith, Victims of Communism’s executive director, in the press release obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. “This troubling turn highlights widespread historical illiteracy in American society regarding socialism and the systemic failure of our education system to teach students about the genocide, destruction, and misery caused teach students about the genocide, destruction, and misery caused by communism since the Bolshevik Revolution one hundred years ago.”

"The study also found that 71 percent of millennials could not pinpoint communism’s definition and four-fifths of the generation did not know how many lives were lost as a result of the ideology." . . .

Tulsi Gabbard ‘Not Surprised’ Clinton Corrupted The DNC, Just Surprised Anyone Mentioned It Publicly…

Washington Examiner

Earl of Taint

. . . "The DNC was embroiled in controversy last summer when then-Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida exited her role after emails published by WikiLeaks showed she and party officials conspiring to tip the Democratic primary in Clinton's favor.

"Brazile, who had been a vice chair like Gabbard, was then tapped to become interim chair up until February when Tom Perez, former President Barack Obama's labor secretary, was elected.

"Perez brushed off Brazile's bombshell on Thursday in relation to the organization now under his reign. "Hey, we're moving forward," he said when asked about Brazile's charge. "We're building, you know, I've been asked that question a number of times since I started."

"Gabbard told the Young Turks that, during her time at the DNC, she heard from party executives who refused to sign on to the joint fundraising effort that Brazile has spoken of and said that there was an air of secrecy that kept her and other DNC vice chairs out of the conversation." . . .

How’s “diversity” working out for you?

Israel National News

Do the math and you will understand why we keep having terror attacks

"Especially after Tuesday’s jihadist slayings in Manhattan, the cry arose throughout the airwaves – why do these things keep happening?

"So let me spell it out as simply as I can. Are you sitting down? Okay – here goes:

"The reason we keep getting acts of terrorism is because we keep importing terrorists.

"That is not politics. That is mathematics.


" Let me repeat it for those who came in late: The reason we keep getting acts of terrorism is because we keep importing terrorists.

"For instance, like most Americans, I did not know, until recently, that since the early 1990s we had a program named the “Diversity Visa Lottery.” So each year some 50,000 people are invited into our country from hellholes all around the globe, like Uzbekistan. Over there it is 96.3 percent Muslim, coincidentally.

"That is where the Manhattan murderer came from…and, along with the rest, was welcomed with smiles over the years from types like NY Gov Cuomo and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and Sen. Chuck Schumer. Their smiles vanished after the attack when they had to explain how it happened on their support for diversity uber alles.

"But that did not stop them from taking the stage to further dump on Trump and even though ashen-faced from shame, they continued to grandstand their Liberal pieties. As if none of this was their doing and if it came again between them and us, between migrants and citizens, they’d still choose the migrants.

"President Trump wants to end the diversity lottery program. Trump wants to limit immigration altogether. Trump knows the math." . . .

Why do terrorists yell 'Allahu akbar' when they attack? . . . "It's difficult to be clearer than that. Muhammad used the expression to instill terror in the Jews of Khaibar and to announce his arrival.  As the hadith says, he conquered the town (or it surrendered).  Ruin will be inflicted on the town or the nation that is warned of impending battle when the people hear "Allahu akbar!' "  . . . 
      

Dems Are Loath to Weaponize Russia Probe Indictments

Real Clear Politics  "The indictment of Donald Trump´s former campaign chairman and the guilty plea entered by a former low-level foreign policy adviser seemed to hand Democrats a weightier cudgel with which to club the president´s party this week. But even though special counsel Robert Mueller´s Russia collusion probe is picking up steam, Democratic strategists and campaign operatives are urging party members to tread carefully. Research in the form of focus groups, polling, and on-the-ground conversations conducted by various Democratic groups suggests that reaction to GOP policy will drive their voters more effectively than the ongoing Russia investigations, however newsworthy they have become." . . .

American Silliness, Nov 3, 2017

California is a good place to start for things like this:

California girl, 5, who set up $1 lemonade stand to raise money for a new bike is told by officials four months later to pay $25 for a BUSINESS LICENSE  This made news in the United Kingdom!

Autumn Thomasson, five, proudly sold $70 worth of lemonade and
candy to buy herself a new bicycle in June. This week, her mother
 received a citation from city officials claiming she needed a business
license and asking them to pay $25 to obtain one retroactively 

. . . "The letter was sent in response to that complaint but they have since retracted their demand for the $25 fee. 

'There's no excuse why it should have been sent." . . . 

Liberal Reporter Bashes Trump  . . . "After being asked what he thought about Trump’s response to the NYC terrorist, Stokols left viewers downright shocked with what he accidentally let slip on live television. As it turns out, the man asked why he didn’t do the same for the white gunman involved in the recent Las Vegas shooting.

"Yes, he’s referring to the white shooter who is already dead when criticizing Trump for not saying that the dead gunman should also get the death penalty." . . . 

"BLM leader" writes that white people who are inheriting property should consider selling it to minority families  . . . “If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.” . . .

Michelle Obama claims men are 'entitled' and 'self-righteous'  . . . "It's surprising that Michelle Obama would fail to recognize the evolution in society and portray women as both victim and enabler."

Mathematics Is Not 'White'  . . . "We have seen the consequences of such P.C. madness in other professions.  Just consider one example outside education: firefighters are expected to climb four flights of stairs carrying a heavy load of nasty, necessary rescue gear in a specific and short time limit.  What to do if an applicant for this heroic job cannot?  Most of us would say, "Sorry.  You don't pass."  Would our lady professor argue that the firefighter test is  "white"?

Saints: It's 'unfortunate' vet rejects honor over anthem protests

This is a follow-up to a previous story:  A retired Navy officer declined to be honored at an NFL game over the anthem protests

. . . "Wells wrote, according to a release, per reports. "I am unable, in good conscience, to enter an NFL stadium while this discourtesy prevails. Since this award is tainted with the dishonorable actions of the NFL and its players, I cannot accept it.' "

MSN  . . . "The Saints called Well's decision "unfortunate and disappointing" in a lengthy statement released Thursday.

"Respectfully and honorably, we chose Mr. Wells for the Peoples Health Champion Award purposefully for this game to bring to light the exact issues that he and his organization represent - the health and well being of our military, veterans and their families," the Saints said in a statement.

"Unfortunately, he has chosen very publicly not to accept this honor and refused the opportunity to promote the very cause for which he was being honored and distract from awareness we hoped to build throughout our community. We respect his decision, he has that right, and we thank him for his service to our country and his past efforts on behalf of the military and veterans."

"The Saints later point out every player has stood for the national anthem since the franchise was founded in 1967 -- outside of Week 3 this season where "a few of our players did sit."

"Since then, the Saints have kneeled prior to the anthem in a show of unity against racism and social injustice before rising and standing for the anthem.. . . 

. . . "When a fan said people are mad because they believe the Saints will eventually sit during the anthem again since they did so earlier in the season, Vaccaro responded, "We already said what we were gonna do so get the picture or don't come." . . .  Has anyone kneeled over this?

Eric Holder said Americans were too cowardly to have a "conversation" about race. Heaven help anyone who dares to try it.
