Mazie (men just shut up!) Hirono Attacks the President and Slanders AG Barr and Demands he Resign — It Gets So Bad Lindsey Graham Jumps In

Hey, Mazie Hirono! Who Do You Work For?  . . . "Additionally, Mazie, in this country we don't just "believe women," we believe evidence.  As an attorney, you should know that, and if you don't know the basics, then perhaps you are not fit to serve.  Men do not need to "shut up!" as you audaciously advised.  In this country we all have a voice. 

"So, before you sit there and slander our Attorney General and our President, invest in a little humility and learn the process by which we govern.  Civility accorded by you will help heal a divided nation, and if you can't abide by that, then perhaps you need to take your own advice and "just shut up!". "

The Gateway Pundit  "On Wednesday at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Bill Barr Hirono used her time to attack President Trump as a “grifter and liar” and to slander the Attorney General and demand he resign."

. . . 
"It got so bad that Chairman Lindsey Graham stepped in to cut off the liberal mouthpiece.
"Graham accused Hirono of slander — which was being generous." . . .
Could Hirono be getting advice from Kerosene Maxine?

Dylann Roof gets death.

NY Times "An unrepentant Dylann Roof was sentenced to death Tuesday for fatally shooting nine black church members during a Bible study session, becoming the first person ordered executed for a federal hate crime.

Photo added.

" A jury deliberated for about three hours before returning with the decision, capping a trial in which the 22-year-old avowed white supremacist did not fight for his life or show any remorse. He served as his own attorney during sentencing and never asked for forgiveness or mercy or explained the massacre. 
"Hours earlier, Roof threw away one last chance to plead for his life, telling jurors, "I still feel like I had to do it." 
"The slain included the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the church pastor and a state senator, as well as other pillars of the community: a high school track coach, the church sexton, a librarian and an aspiring poet. They all shared deep devotion to the church, known as Mother Emanuel, and passed that faith along to their families, many of whom offered Roof forgiveness when he appeared in court just days after the attack.
" As Roof spoke Tuesday for about five minutes, every juror looked directly at him. A few nodded as he reminded them that they said during jury selection they could fairly weigh the factors of his case. Only one of them, he noted, had to disagree to spare him from a lethal injection. 
" 'I have the right to ask you to give me a life sentence, but I'm not sure what good it would do anyway," he said" 
"When the verdict was read, he stood stoic. Several family members of victims wiped away quiet tears.

"Roof told FBI agents when they arrested him after the June 17, 2015, slayings that he wanted the shootings to bring back segregation or perhaps start a race war. Instead, the slayings had a unifying effect, as South Carolina removed the Confederate flag from its Statehouse for the first time in more than 50 years. Other states followed suit, taking down Confederate banners and monuments. Roof had posed with the flag in photos." . . .

When it comes to media dishonesty, people are starting to notice

Bookworm Room

I was heartened when my assiduously apolitical sister spontaneously offered that today’s media is so corrupt and dishonest it can’t be taken seriously.

NPC Media orange man bad

"I was speaking with my sister, the most non-political person in the world. She hates watching the news or reading the paper because she finds politics depressing and boring. Nevertheless, even if you wall yourself off from the news, in today’s world you can’t help hearing stories.

"So it was that my sister told me yesterday that she really hates the way Trump exaggerates. I asked her what had ticked her off, and she told me it was the way that Trump lied when he said the new abortion bills popping up in Democrat-run states — with abortion legal up until the minute birth — would allow doctors to execute living babies.

"But that’s true, I said, at least according to the Virginia governor.

"What?

"Yup, he was on a radio show and was asked about a bill coming up in Virginia to allow third-trimester abortion." . . .

. . . 

"Rather than giving us facts, the media gives us non-stop, unadulterated, complete and unmitigated lies, all run through the Leftist filter of the 21st century Democrat Party. Sometimes, the bias is so strong it’s laughable, in a sad, cynical way. For example, today’s New York Times, when it finally addressed the corruption charges that are going to haunt Biden, framed the story, not as one about a corrupt politician’s use of power to sway American policy to enrich his family, but as . . . Republicans pounce: “Biden Faces Conflict of Interest Questions That Are Being Promoted by Trump and Allies.” (No link; you can find it yourself if you want.)" . . .

ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR SAYS HE WON’T STOP USING THE WORD ‘SPYING’

Daily Caller  "Attorney General Bill Barr sparred with Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse Wednesday over the AG’s use of the word “spying” to describe the actions the FBI took against the Trump campaign.

"Barr alleged during his testimony to the House Appropriations Committee in April that “spying did occur” against the Trump campaign as the FBI investigated alleged ties to Russia.

"In addition to conducting surveillance on former Trump campaign official Carter Page, the FBI used informant Stefan Halper to make contact with three Trump campaign advisers .

. . . 

“ 'It’s not commonly used by the Department,” Whitehouse retorted."Barr shot back, “It’s commonly used by me,” planting a smirk on his face."

AG Barr: “I Can’t Fathom” Why Obama Admin Did Not Tell Trump Campaign About FBI Investigation  Video

Okay, Let's Talk About Charlottesville

Obama, two days after a black supremacist gunned down five policemen during a BLM protest against the police: "I think it's very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter." Obama, the day after the massacre at Fort Hood with an assailant shouting "Allahu Akbar!" : "I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts." 

Ann Coulter

"So Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign talking about Charlottesville.
"This tells us that life is so good for the fabulous people on the coasts -- the only group the Democratic Party really cares about –– that they can afford to devote themselves to crazy fantasies that make them feel morally superior to other people.
"The Democratic Party used to be about protecting workers' wages. Now the pitch is: I will suck up more to The New York Times editorial page.
"I am in no mood to defend Trump, but the media's wholesale lying about Charlottesville is too much for any sane person to take. Everything the media say about it is the very definition of "fake news."
"No human being, dead or alive, has condemned "white supremacists" more than Trump has. I can't begin to quote all the times he has done so, or this column would be the length of a book.
"Within the first hour of the melee, the #Resist geniuses were already blaming Trump for the mere existence of white supremacists and neo-Nazis. It kind of looks like Trump was going to be called a Nazi no matter what he did.
"At 10 a.m. on Aug. 12, 2017, Rosie O'Donnell tweeted a photo of Nazi flags at the rally, with the comment: "THE TRUMP EFFECT #25thAmendmentNow #stopTRUMP"
"Soon thereafter, Rob Reiner tweeted: "Let's be clear. The hatred we're seeing in Virginia lies at the feet of Donald Trump. Stoked during the campaign, his silence condones this."

"Alyssa Milano tweeted at 11:59 a.m.: "Hey, you going to comment on this, @realdonaldtrump? #AltReich" 

"Trump was a Nazi because some of the people who hate him managed to get on Twitter a few hours before he did that day. (He was golfing.)
"Around 1 p.m., Trump began tweeting about Charlottesville, saying, among other things:
" 'We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!"
" 'We must remember this truth: No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are ALL AMERICANS FIRST."
"The actresses said: NOT GOOD ENOUGH! (Sarah Silverman: "This is on-purpose vague bc ur a wimp that stands 4 nothing ...")
"Trump's statements were a LOT more condemnatory than any Obama statements on either the Dallas cop-killer or the Muslim who murdered 13 people at Fort Hood. 

Pompeo destroys Obama’s ideological legacy in the Middle East

Caroline Glick  . . . "It took Trump a year to finally overcome the opposition of the professional bureaucracy at the State Department and the Defense Department, and overrule the opposition of his then-Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to recognize Israel’s capital, Jerusalem. Trump had to overcome further opposition from his senior advisors and the consensus view of the foreign policy establishment to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

"So too, to walk away from Obama’s signature foreign policy, his 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, Trump had to overcome opposition from Mattis, the foreign policy establishment, the European Union, and the media.

"Trump has faced attempts by Obama alumni and the media to undermine his strategy of undermining Iran through a mix of economic sanctions on Iran and strengthening U.S. allies and alliances in the Sunni Arab world. The media hysteria over the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, an al-Qaeda sympathizer who wrote columns for the Washington Post, was a transparent attempt to undermine Trump’s ability to work with Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman.

"In Syria, Mattis and other senior officials worked to preserve Obama’s policy of limiting U.S. operations and focus to fighting Islamic State forces while ignoring Iranian and Iranian proxy forces operating in Syria.

"On Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dismantled the ideological foundation of Obama’s Middle East policy, at the very place where Obama first set it out.

"Less than six months after Obama took office, he set out his perception of America’s rightful position in the world generally, and the Middle East, in particular at a speech at American University in Cairo. His speech, “A New Beginning,” was billed as a speech to the “Muslim World.”

"Obama’s address was the most radical, most anti-American speech any U.S. president had ever delivered. In his speech at American University in Cairo, Pompeo rejected all aspects of Obama’s address — and in so doing, set out the intellectual foundations of Trump’s view of America’s position and role as superpower in the Middle East.

"Obama opened his speech in Cairo by vilifying America and the West. He cast the blame for bad relations between the U.S. and the Islamic world on America and its Western allies.

"In his words: . . ."  Read the full article here.

Go Woke, Get Broke; CNN’s Ratings Hit 4 Year Low

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Go Woke, Get Broke; CNN’s Ratings Hit 4 Year Low  "Fox News reports that the latest ratings report has been released. CNN closed out April with it’s lowest viewership in nearly 4 years. This, despite having hosted the major Democratic Candidates for town halls. An event that, was eclipsed by Fox’s regular programing by over 1 Million viewers.

"The steep ratings decline along with MSNBC seems to have a correlation with the timing of the Muller Report and the end of the Russia collusion hoax.

"These channels in particular have spent the last several years pushing the Russia hoax narrative particularly hard for the last several years, while Fox News has taken a far more balanced approach from the news desk. (Excluding the Commentary team).

It’s important to note when speaking of CNN that it lists Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo and others who openly voice their opinions under the heading of “News Shows” at this link on their site. Don Lemon also famously said “CNN doesn’t do Opinion”. . .

Sharyl Attkisson: 75 Media Mistakes in the Trump Era; The Definitive List

"We the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty to write about. That’s probably why it’s so easy to find lists enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and “lies.” 

"But as self-appointed arbiters of truth, we’ve largely excused our own unprecedented string of fact-challenged reporting. The truth is, formerly well-respected, top news organizations are making repeat, unforced errors in numbers that were unheard of just a couple of years ago."

New York set to ban glass skyscrapers in bid to tackle climate change

UK Independent

"The building of glass skyscrapers could be banned in New York as part of a bid to cut greenhouse emissions by 30 per cent.

"Mayor Bill de Blasio said all-glass facade skyscrapers are “incredibly inefficient” because so much energy escapes through the glass.

"The democratic mayor said buildings are the number one cause of greenhouse emissions in New York.

"Mr de Blasio plans to introduce a bill which would ban the building of new glass skyscrapers and require existing glass buildings to be retrofitted to meet new stricter carbon-emissions guidelines.

"The politician, who announced his Green New Deal on Monday, said: “If a company wants to build a big skyscraper they can use a lot of glass if they do all the other things needed to reduce the emissions." . . .

The Adolescent Progressive Mind

Victor Davis Hanson  "One of the strangest things about the series of psychodramas that surround the ongoing effort to remove President Trump before the 2020 election is progressive schizophrenia. In teenage fashion, one moment a player in the Trump removal intrigue is deemed by the media-progressive nexus a demigod. The next moment, he’s a devil. It depends solely on his perceived sense of utility.

"Robert Mueller, Saint to Sinner "When Robert Mueller was appointed in May 2017 as special counsel to investigate alleged Trump campaign “collusion” with Russia following the firing of FBI Director James Comey, he was practically canonized as a secular saint. The media was giddy over his “all stars” and “dream team” of almost all liberal lawyers who shortly would prove the supposedly obvious: sure winner Hillary Clinton lost only because the vile Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin to sabotage her campaign by leaking John Podesta’s emails.

"As the Mueller investigation lumbered along over the last 22 months, the media periodically announced that their newfound hero had inside information, privileged but unnamed sources, and high-ranking anonymous officials who confirmed “the noose was tightening,” the “walls were closing in,” and “a bombshell” was about to go off. It was as if pre-teenagers had group-talked themselves into seeing witches and goblins.

Others are discussed here by Mr. Hanson:

• Michael Avenatti, Street Fighter to Felon? . . . Brennan-Clapper, the No-Longer-Dynamic Duo . . .
• James Comey, Hero, Villain, Hero—Tiresome . . .

. . . "The common denominator in progressive fluidity is not traditional worry about government surveillance of American citizens, unchecked government power, or the use of informants to spy on American citizens, but whether a bureaucrat can prove a temporarily useful idiot in the grand design of removing Donald J. Trump before the 2020 election."

CNN’s Jake Tapper Admits: Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis ‘Very Fine People’ in Charlottesville

The Antifa bullies, flag burners, Democrats, and CNN all have some very fine people among them, I'm sure. TD

Breitbart   "CNN anchor Jake Tapper admitted Friday that President Donald Trump did not refer to neo-Nazis or white supremacists as “very fine people” in his remarks about the Charlottesville, Virginia, riots in 2017.

"The admission came as Tapper and his CNN panel discussed former vice president Joe Biden’s campaign launch video, released Thursday, in which Biden explicitly claimed that Trump had referred to the neo-Nazis as “very fine people.”

"Tapper played a clip of Trump’s remarks — though not the portion in which Trump made it clear to reporters that he was ” not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”

"Instead, Tapper described that portion of the press conference: “Now, elsewhere in those remarks, Trump did condemn neo-Nazis and white supremacists. So he’s not saying that the neo-Nazis and white supremacists are very fine people.”

Toon added by TD

"Tapper’s admission is a major concession by CNN, which has refused thus far to correct or retract its repeated claims in recent weeks that Trump was, in fact, referring to the neo-Nazis as “very fine people.” The network even aired deceptively edited video of Trump’s remarks to create the impression that he said something that he had not.

"CNN contributor Steve Cortes took his own network to task, noting that CNNs’ own reporting at the time made clear that Trump had been referring to people in Charlottesville to protest the removal of a statue — not neo-Nazis.

"In the Friday broadcast, Tapper went on to question the notion that anyone “protesting alongside” the neo-Nazis could be “very fine people.”

"As the New York Times reported at the time, some protesters who were present in Charlottesville had nothing to do with the neo-Nazis or white supremacists."

Five Obama-Era Foreign Policy Failures Joe Biden Will Have to Answer For

"By now you’ve probably heard Joe Biden’s claim that world leaders “begged” him to run for president to “save the world” from President Trump. It’s true that Biden’s many years in Washington have given him lots of experience in foreign policy. In fact, that was clearly behind Obama’s choosing of Biden to be his running mate since Obama had basically zero foreign policy experience when he ran for president, and Biden filled that void.

"But it didn't really work out. The eight years of the Obama-Biden administration were plagued by endless foreign policy failures that certainly raises questions as to what good Biden’s foreign policy credentials were as Obama’s vice president—especially since it took Donald Trump being elected president to clean up their messes. Five of these Obama-Biden foreign policy failures are mentioned below, but there are plenty more." . . .

Biden the Liar  "Harold Schaitberger, president of the AFL-CIO-affiliated International Association of Firefighters, declared at a campaign rally for Joe Biden today that “Joe Biden is genuine. There’s nothing phony or artificial about Joe Biden.”
"This is a spectacularly audacious claim about one of Washington’s most notorious BS artists.
"A few days ago, Biden declared on The View, “We were asked, what are you proudest of from your administration? You know what I said — he said the same thing as I did. No one single whisper of scandal. That’s because of Barack Obama.”
"Perhaps Biden believes there was no whisper of scandal because there was so much shouting about veterans dying while waiting for care at the Department of Veterans Affairs; the “Fast and Furious” gunwalking operation at the ATF; the dysfunctional launch of Healthcare.gov; the Syrian “red line”; Benghazi; the hacking of Office of Personnel Management records; the IRS targeting of conservative and Tea Party groups; other government agencies harassing and targeting the president’s critics; drunkenness and reckless behavior at the U.S. Secret Service . . .
"In 2016, he said Trump’s policy in the Middle East would be “to go carpet bomb innocent people.” Whether or not you like Trump’s policies, that is not an accurate description of what Trump proposed on the campaign trail or enacted in office. He’s accused Trump of trying to cut nearly $1 trillion from the Medicare program — not true.
"Biden insists that he’s been “referred to for the last 35 years in Washington as Middle-Class Joe,” despite no record of anyone else ever calling him that. He proclaimed that he didn’t “own a single stock or bond . . .  I have no savings accounts.” His wife Jill had plenty of stock and bond investments and the couple had five savings accounts in both their names."

By contrast, O'Rourke's plan — which adopts many of the Green New Deal's worst proposals — is a presidential candidate's platform, spelled out in executive orders, government grants, and legislative proposals.

"O'Rourke seems intent on repurposing the Green New Deal as his own, and visiting Yosemite National Park to prove his love for the environment.

"This radical new proposal comes at a tough time for the former congressman, however. Shortly after he entered the presidential race, another fresh-faced candidate stole his thunder. Pete Buttigieg, the military veteran and Rhodes scholar who serves as the openly gay mayor of South Bend, Ind., outpaced O'Rourke in the media and in the polls. In many ways, Buttigieg was the better Beto." . . .

PopPolitics: Ted Danson on Climate Activism, Ignorance and 2016   October 3, 2015

DO YOU REMEMBER "Algore: "We Have Ten Years Left Before Earth Cooks' "
"in 2006 Al Gore said these words that struck fear into people around the world. 
"Here is 9 years and a dozen days later and we are no where near cooking. there is now only 326 days and the tepratures are no where near where Al Gore said they would be. Before that we had Ted Danson say in 1988, We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. 
"1998 came and went and not a single death from the resulted. 
"Here are a few more predictions made over the last 35 years" . . .
1) At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, “The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.” 
2) The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age. — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist 
3) A high-priority government report warns of climate change that will lead to floods and starvation. ‘Leading climatologists’ speak of a ‘detrimental global climatic change,’ threatening ‘the stability of most nations.’ The scenario is eerily familiar although the document – never made public before – dates from 1974. But here’s the difference: it was written to respond to the threat of global cooling, not warming. And yes, it even mentions a ‘consensus’ among scientists. — Maurizio Morabito 

Al Gore has been accused of profiting from the climate change agenda amid claims he is on course to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire”.

Five Ways We Know Al Gore's Been Running A Global Warming Racket  . . . Ten years later, he's probably hoping that everyone has forgotten about his categorical statement.
"The terrible truth for Gore is that there is no planetary emergency. Not one of the dire predictions he and the rest of the alarmist community made has come to pass. In fact, there is plenty of evidence that they have been running a racket. Here's how we know:
"One, Earth hasn't warmed in nearly 20 years." . . .
