Jimmy Kimmel Wades Into Politics Again and Misleads His Viewers Along the Way

Daily Signal  "Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday deleted a video clip from Twitter and YouTube that falsely informed viewers that a proposed Federal Communications Commission rule would force them to pay hundreds of dollars to complain to the FCC.

“ 'The FCC is considering a plan that would require U.S. citizens to pay $225 to make a complaint. So, if you’re mad about how high your cable bill is, soon you can pay the government $225 to complain about it,” the host of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” told his viewers Wednesday night.

“ 'Boy, they really have the fingers on the pulse of us, don’t they? It’s shameless, really. Time and time again this administration, they side with the big corporations over people,” the comedian riffed. He then acted out a skit in which a coffee shop customer had to pay $225 to complain about a barista spitting in his drink.

"But Kimmel appears to have botched the facts.

"Americans aren’t charged to file informal complaints through the FCC Consumer Complaint Center, a fact that won’t change under any rule being considered by the FCC." . . .

. . . "An ABC spokesperson did not return a request for comment regarding Kimmel’s misinformation and the deleted videos." . . .

Pandemonium: GOP Congressman Hits Strzok On Extramarital Affair And Democrats Went Ballistic

Matt Vespa at Townhall

"Crank it up to eleven. The intense hearing—that is still ongoing—between members of the House Judiciary Committee and disgraced FBI Agent Peter Strzok. Mr. Strzok engaged in an extramarital affair with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. They sent tens of thousands of texts, almost all of them anti-Trump. Strzok was involved in two key FBI investigations, the Russia investigation and the Hillary Clinton email probe, and this bias has been the subject of controversy within the halls of the FBI and the Department of Justice. The whole hearing has been combative, a delicious circus with Republican members leveling legitimate criticism as Strzok, dotted with Democrats interrupting lines of questioning, and desperately trying to pivot to other issues. It’s a circus. It will go down as a great day in political theater. 

"Yet, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) decided to go there this afternoon, mentioning his affair with Page, which drew loud objections from Democrats.  

“ 'You've embarrassed yourself, and I can't help but wonder when I see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocent into your wife's eye and lie to her about Lisa,” Gohmert said to Strzok—and then all hell broke loose (via Washington Examiner):" . . .

We Cannot Allow Strzokians Back into Power

This Democrat Party is no longer the party of my family when growing up and it must not be allowed to rule over us! The Scriptures declare that our leaders are chosen by God and one has to wonder if we get this evil silliness because we have ostracized Him from our midst. The Tunnel Dweller

This week, leftists have recently declared “cowboys” to be racist and sexist. Michael Landon's beautiful classic TV series, “Little House on the Prairie” has been declared racist and homophobic. Awhile back, leftists declared the peanut butter and jelly sandwich racist. 

Lloyd Marcus, the un-hyphenated American   "Peter Strzok's arrogance displayed at the Congressional Oversight Committee hearing on TV was infuriating. With their superior noses high in the air, Strzok and the Democrats behaviorally said f*** you to the Republicans, the law, and We the People. It was disgraceful watching Strzok and his Democratic posse insult our intelligence by claiming, despite overwhelming evidence, FBI agent Strzok had no bias against Trump.

"Strzok and the Democrats' insistence that Strzok had no bias against Trump reminded me of a comedy skit with the late Don Adams. In the skit, Adams' wife came home, catching him in bed with a woman. Adams' wife ranted expressing her shock and outrage. Adams and his lover calmly got out of bed, got dressed and made the bed. The woman left. Adams behaved like nothing happened and left the bedroom. The skit ends with his wife standing there, questioning her sanity – pondering whether or not she saw what she thinks she saw. Strzok and the Democrats are attempting to pull the same trick on America. They are telling us Strzok expressed no bias against Trump while clear evidence of Strzok's biases right before our eyes.

"The thing that got my blood boiling was Strzok's snooty attitude. His facial expressions and body language said, “How dare you question me. I don't have to answer any of your questions. F*** you Republicans and fly-over-country Trump-supportive Americans.” Strzok and his fellow FBI agent Lisa Pageimpugned Trump supporters as smelly hillbilly Walmart shoppers. Strzok epitomizes the American left's disdain for everyday Americans  -- We the People

Do we really want people with this insidious wacko kind of thinking back in power -- calling the shots, mandating how we must live our lives? If the Democrats take back Congress in November, rest assured, they will continue leftists' transformation of America." . . .

The Democrats at the FBI agent Peter Strzok Hearing: What You Need to Know   . . . "All through the hearing, the Democrats interrupted the hearing over and over. They praised Strzok’s past service for the FBI and refused to let Republican Congressmen ask the much-needed questions. Sadly, they thought they were being constructive, but they didn’t stop us from getting all the information we needed.

"The testimony that Strzok gave was very telling. We learned that number 1, Strzok is a good liar. Congressman Louie Gohmert asked Strzok about how he lied to his wife every night about his relationship with Lisa Page. Gohmert highlighted that if he could lie to his wife every night for years with a straight face, then he could definitely lie to Congress with a straight face.

"At that moment, the Democrats hissed and foamed at the mouth over the statement. However, all of the things the Democrats objected to, they used the same tactic to interview every person in the Trump admin that went before them. This, once again, is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of the left.

"Number 2, they interrupted the hearing with false parliamentary inquiries, everytime Rep. Gowdy and Rep. Jordan were getting somewhere with the questioning. As previously stated, we received all the information we needed" . . .


Rush Limbaugh:  We All Have a Smirking Peter Strzok in Our Lives. . . "Appearing before a joint session of House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees Thursday, disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok was ordered to read aloud his own text messages expressing anti-Trump sentiments. Rep. Darrell Issa: ‘I’m going to ask one series of questions very quickly if I could. You did a number of texts. All of the texts that were presented to us, as far as I know, came from your government phone, correct?’ FBI Agent Peter Strzok [Smirk]: ‘I believe that to be the case, yes.’ Issa: ‘You made no text available from your private phone, is that correct?’ Strzok: ‘That’s correct.’ " . . .

. . . "Did CNN have their…? Were they covering this? (interruption) Yes? Okay, so people in the airport saw it at least. You know, CNN and MSNBC’s ratings are below the the Food Network and HGTV last week? MSNBC and CNN’s ratings are below the Food Network and HGTV. You know what HGTV is? You don’t know what HGTV is? What? One at a time. Right. Home and Garden TV. It’s a home improvement network, where you can also buy little trinkets and stuff. And MSNBC and CNN ended up trailing that!" . . .

The Rise of the Abortion Cheerleaders
They panic because they realize that science is not on their side.

. . . "By now perhaps you’ve seen the horror show cooked up by Michelle Wolf, the Netflix star best known for her viral and cringeworthy White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech this spring. Man, does this lady love abortion. She also loves wheeling out abortion “jokes” like this: “Mike Pence is very anti-choice. He thinks abortion is murder, which, first of all, don’t knock it till you try it! And when you do try it, really knock it. You know, you’ve got to get that baby out of there.”
"Zing! Get it? You’ve got to knock the baby out of there! But wait: If there’s a baby in there in the first place, wouldn’t knocking it out mean we’re actually . . . oh, never mind. Who cares about those details? Certainly not Wolf, who just broadcast another wild-eyed abortion-is-awesome monologue, hollering “God bless abortion!” in a star-spangled bodysuit and cheerlessly squeaking that abortion “should be on the dollar menu at McDonalds.”...

Comedian Michelle Wolf Gets the Abortion Debate Entirely Wrong

. . . "When Wolf and her cohort begin to treat these issues with more intellectual honesty, we can talk. But until then, those in her audience who take her seriously will become increasingly unprepared to debate these significant issues with the rest of the country."

That Strzok- Struk-Stroke Smirk

UPDATE: The Creepiest Part Of Peter Strzok’s Testimony
A face only a Democrat will love

Peter Strzok's Smirk Said He Was Lying  . . . "So we're all liars and maybe we are, but I'll tell you what convinced me -- besides an overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence equivalent to the O.J. trial -- that Strzok was not just your garden variety prevaricator but an out-and-out conniving, evil S. O. B.: his smirk.

"The shrinks call that "inappropriate affect" and it sure was.  What the hell was this guy smirking about?"

Peter Strzok's Smirk Said He Was Lying

"What do Trump supporters smell like, Mr. Strzok?"

Democrats took Strzok’s claims at face value, literally applauding him at one point. Republicans stuck to their partisan points, too. . . . "But the basic facts speak for themselves: With his flagrant misconduct, Peter Strzok brought shame to the FBI and the entire Justice Department. He should be ashamed of himself, rather than playing the victim." . . .

Peter Strzok – The Most Productive FBI Agent Of All Time

Strzok's Smirk

Public testimony of this kind is a performance. But Strzok couldn't helping letter his inner self, the one we got to know from his texts, slip through. Both slimy and self-righteous, he came out of the closet in moments like this exchange with Louie Gohmert that quickly went viral.

Strzok’s claim of no bias so ridiculous that even CNN’s political director calls BS  . . . "Only a fool or a Democrat (the two groups considerably overlap in the United States) would believe Peter Strzok’s claim under oath that it was only the appearance of bias, not actual bias, that was the problem with his texts to his inamorata Lisa Page. Yet, the Democrats in the joint committee hearing were eager to hitch their wagon to his fate.  One of them, Rep Steve Cohen of Memphis, offended many people with his claim that Strzok deserved a “Purple Heart,” oblivious to the genuine grievous physical injuries that have been honored with this medal that he trivialized." . . .

Ob-strzok-tion of justice  "For eighteen months, Democrats and the liberal media have been hoping beyond hope that the Mueller investigation will result in Donald Trump being found guilty of colluding with Russia or obstruction of justice.  . . . While their behavior may not rise to criminality, it certainly robbed the American people of a full opportunity to hear Strzok's responses to penetrating and pointed Republican questioning."

5 Key Takeaways From The House Hearing With FBI Counterintelligence No. 2 Peter Strzok

Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist

Yesterday's joint hearing in front of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees was the first public hearing Congress held with the official who launched the Russia probe two years ago.

"An embattled FBI official who led investigations into both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump testified in a cantankerous open hearing on the Hill yesterday. Peter Strzok, formerly the second in command of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, lost his position after texts he exchanged on government systems with his also-married lover and colleague Lisa Page revealed extreme bias against President Trump and his voters.
"Yesterday’s joint hearing in front of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees was the first public hearing Congress held with the official who launched the Russia probe two years ago. Here are a few key takeaways from that hearing."

Thai boys didn’t swim out of the cave; they were rescued on stretchers

VOX

"Now that the 12 Thai boys and their soccer coach are safely out of the cave where they were trapped for just over two weeks, we’re learning more details on how the rescue mission was carried out.

"Up until Wednesday, Vox — and other news outlets — were reporting that the boys swam out of the cave, accompanied by professional divers. Over the weekend, rescue officials had been telling reporters that divers were teaching the boys to swim and to use diving equipment.

"But on Wednesday afternoon, a day after the mission was completed, the Thai Navy SEALs posted a video to Facebook that suggests the boys did not swim, but instead were fitted with dive masks, and put on stretchers that were guided through the passageways by the divers:ti-anxiety medication, but AFP’s source said some of the boys were fully sedated." . . .

Republican Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert ripped embattled FBI agent Peter Strzok for cheating on his wife and accused him of lying to Congress.

As we speak, Democrat staffers are searching the internet, looking for dirt on Gohmert. TD

Daily Caller  "Strzok, who sent a number of anti-Trump text messages to his colleague and mistress Lisa Page, appeared for testimony in front of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees on Thursday.

“You do it with a straight face and I watched you in the private testimony you gave and I told some of the other guys, ‘he is really good, he’s lying, he know, we know he’s lying and he can probably pass the polygraph,'” Gohmert alleged during the hearing.

. . . 

“The disgrace is what this man has done to our justice system!” Gohmert declared. “It won’t be recaptured any time soon because of the damages that you have done to the justices and I have talked to FBI around the country, you have embarrassed them, you have embarrassed yourself and I can’t help but wonder when I see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocent into your wife’s eyes and lie to her about Lisa Page?”

Democrats around the committee room erupted into jeers and calls of “shame” after Gohmert’s angry screed." . . .

Justice And DHS Claim Nearly Half Of Children 5 Or Younger Separated At The Border Came With Adults Who Were Criminals Or Not Even Their Parents   . . . "As the Daily Mail reports, “Meekins described one adult who said he was a parent 'right up until the time of a DNA swab,' and then retracted his claim. Authorities determined that one potential child sponsor was alleged to have abused the child he was trying to claim. Another told the government that if his child were returned to him, he planned to house the youngster with an adult who has been charged with sex abuse of a young girl.” . . .

Report: Congressional Black Caucus Questioning Nonblack Members Of Congress Who Haven’t Defended Maxine Waters…

Weasel Zippers

"Yes, please, all Dems must listen to the CBC and publicly support Mad Max.

"Via Buzzfeed:

Top Democrats and lawmakers of the Congressional Black Caucus are questioning nonblack members of the House Democratic caucus who haven’t stepped up to publicly defend Maxine Waters.

They are also stewing behind the scenes over public rebukes from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, according to three sources familiar with internal conversations.

In particular, at least two black lawmakers were said to be angered by Pelosi’s usage of the phrase “make America beautiful again” in her tweet on the subject.

Late last month, Waters encouraged people to confront and protest members of the Trump administration while speaking a rally against family separations at the border. “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd,” she said. “And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
