Monica Lewinsky hits out at CNN's HLN TV for promoting documentary about 'Lewinsky scandal' - prompting ex-White House intern to rename it 'The Clinton Impeachment'

UK Daily Mail   "The former White House intern whose affair with then-President Bill Clinton led to his impeachment has a message for the world – don’t call it the ‘Monica Lewinsky scandal.’

"Lewinsky on Tuesday took to Twitter and hit out at CNN’s HLN network for promoting a new two-hour documentary looking back at the saga.

‘HLN to revisit “The Monica Lewinsky Scandal” with two-hour special,’ read the announcement on Twitter.

"Lewinsky re-tweeted the post – but with the words ‘The Monica Lewinsky Scandal’ crossed out.

"Instead, she drew two arrows and wrote new titles, including ‘The Starr Investigation’ and ‘The Clinton Impeachment.’

" ‘Fixed it for you,’ Lewinsky wrote. ‘You’re welcome.’ " . . .

President Hillary Weinstein   "Hillary Clinton has a long history of protecting men who are Democrats and who harass and assault women.  Hillary was one of the leaders of those who protected Bill Clinton against "bimbo eruptions."  For Hillary, the War on Women is just about abortion, and not about rape or sexual assault.  President Hillary Clinton would have interceded with The New York Times and The New Yorker to prevent the publishing of their pieces on Harvey Weinstein's activities.

"Harvey Weinstein was a longtime Democratic Party donor and bundler.  Within Hollywood, he was also well known for being a bully and engaging in sexual assault.  But no one would go public about it due to his power in the industry and his powerful political friends.  His ability to produce movies and TV shows made him powerful in Hollywood, and his monetary contributions to the Clintons, the Obamas, and other Democrats bought him political friends in powerful places – until Hillary lost the election.  His career in producing entertainment was already on the wane, and then his political cover lost power.

"President Hillary Clinton would not have wanted her large contributor to be the victim of a "bimbo eruption," since it would have led more scrutiny of Bill Clinton's sex activities.  Someone in the Clinton administration would have leaned on both The New York Times and The New Yorker to spike their stories about Harvey Weinstein.  Without those stories, Weinstein would have continued, and there would have been no #MeToo.

"Most older female voters realized that Hillary Clinton is no friend of women assaulted by Democrats.  Hillary's activities during her husband's rise to the presidency are well known.  Trump is no angel, but Hillary had no credibility with voters on "War on Women" issues.  Part of the reason why voters rejected Hillary was her lack of credibility on sexual assault.

"President Hillary Clinton would have allowed Harvey Weinstein and other Democrats like Charlie Rose, John Conyers, and Al Franken to continue their assaults.  President Hillary Clinton would have squashed the #MeToo movement." . . .

Melania Trump unveils White House Christmas decorations

CBS  "First lady Melania Trump on Monday unveiled the White House Christmas decorations whose theme reflects 200 years of holiday traditions at the White House.

" 'The President, Barron, and I are very excited for our first Christmas in the White House," she said in a statement. "As with many families across the country, holiday traditions are very important to us. I hope when visiting the People's House this year, visitors will get a sense of being home for the holidays. On behalf of my husband and Barron, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and joyous holiday season."

"The East Wing will pay tribute to servicemembers with a Gold Star Family Tree, which is decorated in patriotic ribbon and gold stars. The Blue Room on the state floor of the White House holds the official White House Christmas tree, which is decorated with glass ornaments depicting the seal of each state and territory." . . .

Compare Melania Trump to Michelle Obama's White House Christmas decor

Obama’s Christmas Tree Decked With Mao Balls, Arrogance and a Drag Queen? From Christmas, 2009. 

 . . . "According to Andrew Breitbart, the ornaments are proof that Obama is a commie, arrogant and not sure what the drag queen is supposed to say about President Obama, except that the right just hates gays:

“ 'Of course, Mao has his place in the White House. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas without an ornament of legendary transvestite Hedda Lettuce”….”And, so soon after collecting the Nobel Peace Prize, why wouldn’t the White House have an ornament super-imposing President Obama onto Mt. Rushmore,” said BigGovernment.

"Since BigGovernment’s big scoop was published on Wednesday, the right-wing blogosphere and even Fox News have run with the non-story. Bret Baier of the fair and balanced network, Fox News, reported on the controversial Christmas ornaments, straight from the BigGovernment website, as straight news.

"As pointed out by Media Matters, there’s no evidence to suggest that Obama had personal knowledge about individual ornaments on the tree:

“ 'Unfortunately for Baier, his gotcha story seems to be missing the gotcha. Here were the very next words out of his mouth: BAIER: The First Lady’s office says local community groups were asked to decorate hundreds of ornaments but that they are unaware of these specific decorations.”

"Meanwhile, Hedda Lettuce, a member of Ru Paul’s reality show on the Logo channel, called Drag Race, is thrilled her ornament is on the White House Christmas tree. A box of the plain White House bulbs showed up at a gay community center where Hedda volunteers and teaches decoupaging. When the ornaments arrived for decorating, Hedda apparently decoupaged an image of her drag queen character on the bulb."

Ultimate DC insider: They all knew about Conyers

Thomas Lifson  "Nobody better represents the Washington, D.C. political-media establishment than Cokie Roberts.  For those who don't know, the NPR correspondent and ABC News commentator is the daughter of two former Democrat members of the House of Representatives, her mother replacing her father after his death.  Her father was the majority leader of the Democrat Caucus during the long period where the Democrats ran everything in the House.  Had he not perished in a plane crash in 1972, he might well have become speaker.  And her husband, Steve Roberts, is another member of the D.C. media establishment.

"In a moment of casual honesty yesterday, Cokie Roberts admitted on This Week that everyone knew about the dangers of being groped by John Conyers, who "icon" Nancy Pelosi seems to believe should be allowed his perversions and even crimes, on the model of other progressive "icons" like Ted Kennedy." . . .

All Of Al Franken’s Apologies To Women He Groped Have One Disturbing Thing In Common [VIDEO]

Daily Caller

"A humiliated Al Franken returned to Washington DC this week after a series of bombshell sexual harassment allegations.  

"Franken has been accused of being a serial-groper by multiple women. The Minnesota Democrat has faced more and more outcry, even from within his own party, as the allegations continue to stack.  In total, four womenhave now accused Franken of inappropriately touching or groping them without consent.  Many in progressive circles are now calling for Franken’s resignation. To date, Franken’s office has said he will not resign and instead has issued controversial apologies to the women. The apologies issued by Franken range in length and content, however there is one very disturbing trend that each of them has in common.

"Read them carefully and it’s easy to see that Franken is not aware that he is sexually assaulting women. Franken regularly states in his apologies that he is unaware that his groping was offensive and often does not remember if it even happened." . . .

McCain Recommends Hillary ‘Shut Up’ And ‘Move On’

Daily Caller "Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain called out former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for trying to rewrite the history of the 2016 election shortly after she lost, and recommended she “just shut up.”

“ 'You’ve got to understand that you can’t rewrite history,” McCain told Esquire magazine for a long profile released Monday.

“ 'One of the almost irresistible impulses you have when you lose is to somehow justify why you lost and how you were mistreated: ‘I did the right thing! I did!’ The hardest thing to do is to just shut up,” McCain said." . . .

John McCain To Hillary Clinton: Find Something To Do  . . .  "Personally, I like the idea of Bill and Hillary not having much to do these days. It means they’re not engaging in their previous decades of machinations. Even the fluff pieces on daughter Chelsea seem to have subsided in recent months." . . .

'Blowback': Clinton campaign planned to fire me over email probe, Obama intel watchdog says   "A government watchdog who played a central role in the Hillary Clinton email investigation during the Obama administration told Fox News that he, his family and his staffers faced an intense backlash at the time from Clinton allies – and that the campaign even put out word that it planned to fire him if the Democratic presidential nominee won the 2016 election.
. . . 
"The Obama appointee discussed his role in the Clinton email probe for the first time on television, during an exclusive interview with Fox News. McCullough – who came to the inspector general position with more than two decades of experience at the FBI, Treasury and intelligence community – shed light on how quickly the probe was politicized and his office was marginalized by Democrats." .

For Christmas: Feminist Baby!

• "If you have always thought that at bottom, to be feminist is to be obnoxious, this book supports your view. A feminist child apparently is one that would normally be described as ill-behaved."

Power Line  "Included in Target’s selection of books for young children is one titled Feminist Baby, by Loryn Brantz, a writer on feminism and body image for Buzzfeed."

"If you have always thought that at bottom, to be feminist is to be obnoxious, this book supports your view. A feminist child apparently is one that would normally be described as ill-behaved.

"This one, I don’t even understand. How is it feminist to say “no” to pants–apparently meaning, in this context, diapers?"

. . . 

"Amazon tells us that customers who bought Feminist Baby also bought She Persisted and A Is For Activist, which includes such lessons as “C is for Co-op. Cooperating Cultures. Creative Counter to Corporate vultures.” And “T is for Trans.”

"Board books are normally intended to be read to very young children, but it is impossible to imagine any sane parent reading books like these to children. I suppose they can be thought of as coffee table board books, bought for the self-gratification of liberal parents and for display to liberal friends. In which case, they typify many aspects of contemporary liberalism."

In Charts, How These 7 Taxpayers’ Bills Would Change If Tax Reform Was Enacted

Heritage

. . . "This analysis does not, however, show how those tax cuts would vary based on factors such as total income, type of income, number of children, and itemized deductions.

"While the plans lack a pro-growth cut to the top marginal tax rate (the Senate plan slightly lowers the top rate, but the House keeps the top rate and adds a higher bubble rate), both bills achieve significant reductions in business tax rates. This will help make America more competitive with the rest of the world, and will result in more and better jobs as well as higher incomes for all Americans.

"To get a better idea of how some workers, families, and small businesses would fare under the proposed tax reform, The Heritage Foundation has estimated the tax bills of a range of taxpayers under current tax law, the House’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and the Senate’s modified mark of that bill." . . .  Full article.

Media anti-Trump hysteria is hurting the press and helping the president

Rick Moran  . . . "The media and liberal activists are so cocooned, so out of touch with ordinary Americans that they are failing to realize they are in the process of re-electing the president. It isn't just that the media has lost credibility. They didn't need to trash Trump for that to happen. Nor is it really a question of their hollow warnings of the imminent establishment of a Trump dictatorship that is causing many ordinary Americans to wonder about the media's sanity.

"What the media is doing with their over the top criticisms of Trump is angering millions of voters. They are motivating ordinary people to go to the polls and stick it to the Democrats and their media allies.

"That anger may not translate into an advantage for Republicans in 2018, largely because Trump is not on the ballot. But if the media continues this assault on reason in criticizing Trump, even those predisposed to stay home or vote against him will cast a protest ballot in Trump's favor." . . .

Report: Hillary Clinton Needs to Be Worried About Informant’s Testimony Tuesday

Independent Sentinel   "William Campbell, the FBI informant who will testify on Tuesday, will be able to show that the Uranium One scandal went far beyond the sale of the U.S. mine and its assets. The Russian conspiracy is part of a larger plot.

"If it were not for Sen. Chuck Grassley and Campbell’s attorney Victoria Toensing, this information would have remained secret. The gag order would have put Mr. Campbell is jail had he revealed the information he collected.

"There are documents, video recordings and more to show the Obama administration and the FBI were very well aware of the depth of the Russian conspiracy to control the uranium market, even in the United States. The former president wanted a reset with Russia at all costs.

"Circa news reporter Sarah Carter was asked if Hillary Clinton should be worried about what we learn Tuesday and her one word answer was, “Yes.' ” . . .

Trump Renews Feud With CNN. Petulant? That's my word for Barack Obama

But please, please stop the tweeting! Now Trump has lost RedState, no fan of the Democrats.

Red State  "President Trump renewed his feud with CNN on Saturday, taking a swipe at the network that has kept him pressed to the wall for the past year. 

"Trump fed his daily red meat to his famished base on Twitter: 

Donald J. Trump

✔@realDonaldTrump

.@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!

"That he’s singing the praises of Fox News is no surprise. Trump is the most petulant, petty, and vindictive president in modern history. He has done the Herculean task of making a corrupt Obama look mature, by comparison. He is an embarrassment of immeasurable proportions.

"Fox News gets a pass because the majority of the on-air talent for the network grovel and snivel at Trump’s feet, tossing softball interviews and cooing with doe eyes over anything he says, no matter how bizarre and unhinged. 

"So what’s the latest beef to get Trump’s Depends in a knot? 

The tweet comes amid tensions over a potential merger between AT&T and Time Warner. The Justice Department allegedly told AT&T to sell off either CNN’s parent company or DirecTV as a condition of approving the merger. The department formally sued AT&T to block the $85 billion merger on Monday, arguing that it would hurt competition and consumers. AT&T has denied it has offered to sell the cable network, or that it would in the future. The Justice Department move has drawn criticism from observers who note that Trump is often critical of CNN.

Do not admire CNN, however. Never forget this penetrating question asked of Obama by CNN's Dan Lothian:
