Miley Cyrus Hates Being Called ‘Wife’; Says She’s Still Attracted to Girls

News Punch

"Pop star Miley Cyrus says she doesn’t like being called a “wife” and is still attracted to girls, despite being married to actor Liam Hemsworth. 

"In an interview with Vogue, Cyrus said, “Do people really think that I’m at home in a fucking apron cooking dinner? I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women.”

“ 'I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word,” she added.

"The singer also revealed that her parents don’t use the “husband” and “wife” labels.

“ 'They were always partners. That’s why I like that word,” she said, “‘Husband and wife’ sounds like a cigarette commercial from the 50s to me”.

"Summit.news reports: A couple of years ago, Cyrus attempted to re-brand herself by going back to a more wholesome image."

Miley Cyrus Says She Will Not Have Children Until Earth Is Fixed And ‘Fish Can Live In Water’  . . . “ 'When [Mother Earth] is angry, don’t f*** with her,” Cyrus started. “That’s the way I feel women are like right now. The earth is angry.' ” . . .
Any reason she has for not raising children is OK with many of us.

From The Federalist: The AOC-Pelosi War Was Inevitable  . . . "The second concern is that moderate Democrats in swing districts will be inexorably tied to the crazier aspects of AOC and Justice Democrat’s agenda. And it doesn’t help that so many of the Democratic candidates for president seem to be jumping on these bandwagons. Pelosi does not want these moderates to have to defend the Green New Deal, college loan forgiveness, and free health care for illegal immigrants on the trail. She knows that could spell disaster and Republican victory." . . .

So, the biggest beneficiary of this will be the Republican Party and President Trump because the policies these four people are pushing are so out of the mainstream.

The Four Horsewomen of the Democrat Apocalypse  . . . "The Four Horsewomen of the Democratic Apocalypse, elected in districts that vote for one candidate by margins normally seen in totalitarian regimes holding dog-and-pony elections, do not suffer politically by pushing the party outside the mainstream. Indeed, their constituents likely reward them. So, for reasons political and, perhaps more so, ideological, they push policies at odds with prevailing public opinion.

"Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Ilhan Omar all seek to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), support a Green New Deal that triples the size of the federal government, advocate for reparations, and push for a government healthcare takeover that outlaws the private insurance plans that cover most Americans.

"The Four Horsewomen do not seem to understand that politics requires persuasion rather than pronouncements. To pass or prevent legislation, a decree, from a freshman member no less, does not accomplish the task. The 431 other members may not agree with them. Pestilence, Famine, War, and Death do well when it comes to rallying the base. They fail miserably in convincing anyone on the fence or in opposition. " . . . Hat tip to Lucianne

Ladies of The View Turn on AOC and the Other ‘Justice Democrats’

Legal Insurrection

"The ongoing feud between Nancy Pelosi and her far-left freshman upstarts has caused something amazing to happen. The ladies of The View have lost patience with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the “squad” after Ocasio-Cortez played the race card.

"Sam Dorman reports at FOX News:

‘View’ tells AOC, others Dems to respect Pelosi after racism accusation: ‘More BS’

It seems Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might’ve gone too far this time — so much so that even some of the biggest Democrat defenders on television have turned on her…

On “The View” Thursday, the hosts — especially Whoopi Goldberg — had some tough words for AOC and the rest of her “squad” amid the increasingly bitter feud…

“I think this is more BS,” Goldberg said after mentioning the race accusation. Goldberg was annoyed that younger lawmakers were criticizing how effective Pelosi, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and other older Democrats had been in effecting change.

“I don’t know about going to race right away — it’s like really? that’s where you go right away? I thought that that was a bit much, frankly.”

Goldberg also knocked freshmen for their apparent lack of compromise. “Women of color, watch me now. Let’s keep this in mind, do you think Nancy Pelosi wanted to pass a half-assed bill? No, the moderates were the problem and I would say to these women.” She appeared to be referring to the border funding bill that fueled a lot of the controversy surrounding Ocasio-Cortez and others in the party.

She added that if Ocasio-Cortez and others did not try to reach out and persuade moderates, they shouldn’t complain about legislation. “If you’re not going to do that, you’re not allowed to b—h about this.”

"Joy Behar still manages to get in several outrageous anti-Trump insults, but this video is worth watching because it represents a shift in public opinion. When AOC and company have lost “The View” you know something has changed:"

Trump Congratulates Women on World Cup Win

Megan Rapinoe Is No Leader  "Megan Rapinoe, the captain of the World Cup-winning U.S. women’s soccer team, has become the latest ideological thorn lodged underneath the collective skin of conservatives.

Amazon caught blocking favorable reviews of Mollie Hemmingway/Carrie Severino book on Kavanaugh confirmation

American Thinker  "There is simply nothing anymore that does not draw forth the social justice warriors to do battle. Sean Davis writes in The Federalist:

Amazon is refusing to publish many reviews and ratings of the No. 1 best-selling “Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court,” according to multiple reports from readers who purchased the book directly from Amazon.

The behind-the-scenes dive into the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which was written by Carrie Severino and The Federalist’s Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway, debuted at No. 1 on Amazon’s list of best-selling books.

The Federalist independently confirmed that many reviews by verified purchasers of “Justice on Trial” were not being published by Amazon. Some fake reviews from non-purchasers and reviews from those who clearly had not read the book, however, were published immediately. As of Wednesday evening, the online retailer had allowed only 16 reviews of the top-selling book to be published.

One reviewer whose critique was published by Amazon accused the authors of “stay[ing] away from using the term rape” regarding unsubstantiated accusations of sexual assault made against Kavanaugh during the confirmation process in 2018. A word search of the Kindle version of the book shows that the term was used 41 times by the authors. Another review, from an individual who did not purchase the book from Amazon, wrote that it was the “[w]orst book ever” and rated the book with one star.

The Seattle-based retail giant has a history of manipulating reviews and ratings for high-profile political books.

"Real Clear Politics included this article on its afternoon collection Wednesday.  All of a sudden, the number of reviews jumped from 16 to 29, all of the new ones favorable. As of midnight Thursday night, there were 52 reviews, 90% of them giving the book 5 stars, and only 4 giving it fewer than 4 stars." . . .

Getting Out of Dodge When Don Lemon Comes to Town

The New York Times reportedly forbids its reporters from appearing on both Maddow and Lemon’s programs, because they are considered too partisan even for the Times—which is often criticized for leaning left itself. (Fox News). “Accuracy in Media national editor Carrie Sheffield thinks the Times’ reportedly pulling back its journalists from appearing on Lemon’s show because of concerns of bias “should be a wakeup call to” everyone involved and the CNN anchor “should be striving for greater balance to give voice to a wider swath” of the American electorate.

Canada Free Press

. . . ” 'CNN announced on Monday that Don Lemon will follow in the footsteps of MSNBC’s far-left opinion host Rachel Maddow as a Democratic presidential primary debate moderator—and one critic called the decision a “disservice to voters all across the political spectrum.”

“In recent memory, Lemon has compared Trump to Adolf Hitler, then claimed he “didn’t mean” to compare the president and Hitler. He has also called Trump a “racist,” a “fraud,” “con man,” questioned whether or not the State of the Union should air on a delay to avoid “propaganda,” declared that he wouldn’t shake the president’s hand and questioned Trump’s mental fitness.

“Now Lemon—who Trump once called “the dumbest man on television”—will apparently be prominent when CNN has a chance to grill 2020 hopefuls. While MSNBC admits that Maddow is an opinion host, CNN has continued to label Lemon an “anchor” despite spouting anti-Trump opinions on a regular basis.

“Lemon has also suggested Trump doesn’t do enough work, speculated on whether or not the president lies about his weight, tied Trump to the college admissions cheating scheme and took a shot at Trump as he was giving his colleague Chris Cuomo a brief tour of his new studio, suggesting that the president can’t afford such a lavish space since he isn’t a “real billionaire.”“Lemon initially gained broadcasting prominence as a news anchor, covering breaking news and reporting from the scene of major stories, but DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall recently told Fox News that Lemon is no longer a news anchor in the traditional sense because of his partisan rhetoric." . . .Debate moderators are historically straight-news journalists, as opposed to partisan pundits, but CNN’s decision mirrors NBC’s strategy to allow Maddow to moderate last month’s Democratic Debate.”

Epstein, Bean & Buck: The Democratic Donors’ Sex-Creep Club

Rich Terrell

Michelle Malkin "Well, well, well. “Follow the facts,” Democratic strategist Christine Pelosi now advises fellow liberals in the wake of billionaire and high-flying political financier Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking indictment this week. Some of “our faves” could be implicated in the long-festering scandal, the Pelosi daughter warned, so it’s time to “let the chips fall where they may.”

"Too bad Ms. Pelosi’s mommy hasn’t adopted that same attitude of accountability. While serving as the highest-ranking elected woman in America for decades, San Fran Nan has chronically downplayed, whitewashed or excused the sleazy habits and alleged sexual improprieties of a long parade of Dem pervs — from former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner to former New York Reps. Eric Massa and Anthony Wiener to former Oregon Rep. David Wu to former Michigan Rep. John Conyers and current presidential candidate Joe Biden.

"Since the woke-ty woke Democrats are now gung-ho on undoing special treatment of wealthy liberal sex creeps, perhaps they will soon be revisiting the matter of two of their other “faves,” Oregon real estate mogul and deep-pocketed left-wing White House donor Terry Bean and West Hollywood Clinton pal Ed Buck.

"Here, let me help.

"Terry Bean is the prominent gay rights activist who co-founded the influential Human Rights Campaign organization. He is also a veteran member of the board of the HRC Foundation, which disseminates Common Core-aligned “anti-bullying” material to children’s schools nationwide.

"Like Epstein, Bean had a penchant for rubbing elbows and riding on planes with the powerful. Upon doling out more than $500,000 for President Barack Obama and the Democrats in 2012, he was rewarded with a much-publicized exclusive Air Force One ride with Obama. His Flickr account boasted glitzy pics with Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton.

"Like Epstein, Bean also had a thing for young minors. " . . .

Ilhan Omar calls for advertiser boycott against Tucker Carlson

Washington Examiner  "Rep. Ilhan Omar called for advertisers to boycott Fox News host Tucker Carlson after he offered her as an example of why the U.S. immigration system is dangerous.

" 'Fox News is now giving a nightly platform to white supremacist rhetoric. It’s dangerous. Advertisers should not be underwriting hate speech," the Minnesota Democrat said Wednesday on Twitter.  . . . 

"Carlson said on his show Tuesday that America should "be grateful for Ilhan Omar" because she has demonstrated the flaws of the country's immigration system.

"The host pointed to a Washington Post piece where Omar slammed America as a "country that had failed" to live up to its promise.

" 'In Omar’s version, America wasn’t the bighearted country that saved her from a brutal war and a bleak refugee camp. It wasn’t a meritocracy that helped her attend college or vaulted her into Congress. Instead, it was the country that had failed to live up to its founding ideals, a place that had disappointed her and so many immigrants, refugees and minorities like her," the piece stated.

"Omar said that she felt it was up to her to "speak" about the country not guaranteeing justice to all.

"In 2017, Omar wrote a piece for Time in which she claimed America was " founded on genocide.'  . . ."

Show of hands: Who thinks CNN is protecting the 2020 Democrats?

Patriot Retort

"One of the most damaging moments from the first round of Democrat debates was when the moderators asked for a show of hands on a few positions.

"Like the “Show of hands:  Will your healthcare plan cover illegal aliens?”

"Or “Show of hands: Will your Medicare for All plan abolish private health insurance?”

"For voters, the show of hands questions were extremely enlightening (operative word here: extreme). It allowed voters to see, in one fell swoop, just where these candidates stood on some pretty unpopular issues.

"And, see. That right there is the problem.

Like Kaepernick, Megan Rapinoe brings dishonor to her sport and to America

"Megan Rapinoe is so enamored of her own athletic prowess, she has somehow internalized the notion that we care what she thinks about the President, the anthem, the flag and the country.  As Silvio Canto wrote here on Wednesday, she seems to think her superior skill at soccer gives her the right to insult all the Americans with political views that differ from hers.  

"Rapinoe demonstrated an embarrassing lack of class that contaminates her entire

Look at me! No flag respect, just a smirk

team.  She is a woman who never learned that a bit of grace is an infectious thing in a good way.  This, of course, makes her a hero to the hate-America left that populates CNN and MSNBC 24/7.  Her disdain for the country to them means she is presidential material!  Just ask Rachel Maddow.  

"The Left is now officially insane.  This arrogant, disagreeable woman, Rapinoe, because she plays soccer well, thinks she has the right to trash everything and everyone she loathes.  As Rush suggested, she is likely angling for a hefty contract with Nike or some other sports mega-company that will throw millions of dollars at her to spew her venom.  It worked for failed NFL jerk Colin Kaepernick and Rapinoe checks off an additional box on the identity politics scale as a gay woman." . . .

*Let sports be fun again  . . . "Whether you side with Rapinoe and/or Kaepernick isn’t the point. The point is that there was never sufficient reason to turn something fun and healthy into something hateful and ugly, for disrespecting the country that gave you birth, not on international television or on the field down the street. Even North Koreans love their country (if not their system) and they’re right to love their country. Imagine if you had been born there, or Rwanda, or anywhere else in the Third World. You might not have survived childhood. Yet you insult a country that made it possible for you to thrive." . . .

It’s akin to me beating my 2-year-old in a game of Trivial Pursuit and screaming “In your face!” each time I won a piece of pie.

After yelling about inclusion, women's World Cup team excludes only black player for her Christian faith

Monica Showalter  "Making the words "F*** Trump" its battle cry, its rebel yell to rally itself, the women's World Cup team comes with a lot of wokeness. According to the Washington Times:

The World Cup team’s activism is well established. Team captain Megan Rapinoe, who calls herself a “walking protest” against the Trump administration, accused President Trump of “excluding people” in a Tuesday interview on CNN.

“Your message is excluding people. You’re excluding me. You’re excluding people that look like me. You’re excluding people of color,” Rapinoe said in a message to the president.

"Weird thing to say to a president who invited her to the White House, win or lose, but the hypocrisy doesn't stop there.

"Here's the doozy the Washington Times based its piece on:

Jaelene Hinkle, a 26-year-old star for the North Carolina Courage professional team, has been called the top left defender in the U.S. game, but she wasn’t selected for the national team — a decision that may have had more to do with politics than prowess.

In 2017, Hinkle turned down a call-up from the national team for a pair of international friendlies after learning that the players would wear rainbow-themed jerseys in honor of Gay Pride Month. She said later that the uniform conflicted with her Christian faith.

“I just felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasn’t my job to wear this jersey,” she told “The 700 Club” in a May 2018 interview. “I gave myself three days to just seek and pray and determine what [God] was asking me to do in this situation.”

Hinkle has not played for the national team since. After she was left off the World Cup roster, coach Jill Ellis told reporters that the decision was “solely based on soccer,” an explanation greeted with widespread skepticism.

"So inclusion means everyone except Christians gets invited to the party to play, is that it? "Sounds like this team was a hard little clique of intolerant leftists and the cohesion of their political views was so important to them that the inclusion of a Christian would have spoiled the whole thing. " . . .

The ESPN account:  . . . "A defender, Hinkle plays for the North Carolina Courage of the National Women's Soccer League. The Courage visited the Portland Thorns on Wednesday night, and there were boos heard when she was announced in the starting lineup. Some waved rainbow Pride flags." . .    Wonder what she thinks of Meg Rapinoe

“You do have a very activist team. It’s very much a part of the program,” said John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in Colorado Springs, Colorado. “And if we were talking about just any player, it wouldn’t be really clear, but just because of her abilities — Jaelene Hinkle is a heck of a player — it makes it that much more suspect.”
"He said the episode offered a warning to Christians seeking to live out their faith while pursuing their professional dreams: Chances are that they, too, will face a choice. It could be whether to wear the jersey. It could be whether to bake the cake." . .  .

John 15:18-25; Jesus tells his disciples shortly before His crucifixion:

As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[a] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.
