Monica Lewinsky to produce American Crime Story drama about Clinton scandal

UK Guardian

Latest series of the US hit show will recount the former White House intern’s affair with the then president that led to his impeachment in 1998

"Monica Lewinsky is among the producers on a new series of American Crime Story focusing on the Bill Clinton sex scandal.

"Titled Impeachment: American Crime Story, the Ryan Murphy-helmed anthology drama will recount the notorious affair between the then US president Clinton and former White House intern Lewinsky, and the subsequent impeachment proceedings called against him by the US House of Representatives.

"Booksmart star Beanie Feldstein will star as Lewinsky, with Sarah Paulson playing Linda Tripp, the civil servant who secretly recorded phone calls the 22-year-old made about her affair with Clinton, who was 27 years her senior.

"The series will premiere in September 2020 in the US, and is expected to air in the UK soon after. The previous two series of American Crime Story have been shown on BBC Two in the UK, as part of the broadcaster’s syndication deal with the US.

"Impeachment has been adapted by Murphy from Jeffrey Toobin’s book A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President. Murphy originally optioned the book in 2017, but shelved plans to bring it to TV last year as he felt that such a project would be “gross” without the contribution of Lewinsky.

"However, with Lewinsky’s involvement, Impeachment is now going ahead. In a statement to Vanity Fair, she said that she had been hesitant to sign on to the series, but was swayed by the opportunity to “reclaim my narrative”." . . .

Because of all that happened, Clinton will forever be known by this cartoon meme:

Joaquin Castro Shares Names and Employers of Trump Donors in His San Antonio District

Breitbart

"Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), twin brother of Democrat presidential candidate Julián Castro, took to Twitter Monday and posted the names and employers of dozens of individuals – residing in his own San Antonio district – who contributed the maximum amount to President Trump’s re-election campaign.

"Castro, who serves as the chair of his brother’s presidential campaign, allegedly posted the names of 44 San Antonio residents who donated the maximum amount to Trump’s re-election campaign in what appears to be an attempt to shame them.

“ 'Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump,” Castro wrote in a tweet posted to his unverified campaign account, before listing the names of some of the specific donors and accusing them of “fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.'”

"Breitbart News reached out to Joaquin Castro’s team to confirm that the unverified campaign account is, in fact, operated by the congressman but did not receive a comment. However, Breitbart News can conclude that it is his campaign’s account, as it was listed in an archived version of his congressional campaign page.

"Additionally, Julián Castro’s national press secretary, Sawyer Hackett, responded to criticism of the tweet and defended its sentiments, reaffirming that the account is indeed connected to Rep. Castro:" . . .

Todd Starnes: DESPICABLE! Democrat Congressman Names & Shames Texas Trump Donors

“Naming private citizens & their employers, targeting them for political views and exercising 1st Amendment rights,” Murtaugh wrote on Twitter. “At the very least (Castro) is inviting harassment of these private citizens. At worst, he’s encouraging violence. Will media concerned about “rhetoric” care about this? He’s listing people and their employers.”I have a message for Congressman Castro and his twin brother – gun-toting, Bible-clinging Deplorables will not be bullied.

The question on many minds is just how low will Democrats go?

. . . Not ones to leave anything to chance, the agenda-driven media has also gone after Trump's allies to send the message that it's not worth the risk to openly support this president.

The latest mass shootings: a gift to the Democrats

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

VIDEO: Conway Goes Off on Dems for Politicizing Shootings  "Counselor to President Trump, Kellyanne Conway, went off on Democrats for politicizing the shootings last weekend in Texas and Ohio.
"To say that the propaganda from Democrats and the leftist media is over the top is an understatement! From Democrats like Beto O’Rourke to CNN and MSNBC, it’s been nonstop hate from the left towards President Trump and his supporters.
"Conway has had it with the politicization of these mass shootings and spoke out this morning on Fox & Friends:" . . .

. . . "MSNBC’s Mika Brezinski openly said on-air that this is something that Democrats could capitalize on: “It seems to me that this political issue could be something that the Democrats could get some traction on.”
"The president has done nothing “racist” and has denounced hate of ANY kind. What else should he do?
"The fear-mongering from Democrats:
"The left wasted no time in making the shooting in El Paso into a chance to grandstand.
"Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke rushed to his hometown of El Paso but didn’t keep a low profile. It’s obvious that O’Rourke is making this into an opportunity to campaign.
"He boldly went in front of any camera he could find to make this horrible and very tragic shooting into a political statement against President Trump. He called the president a “racist” and said he “stokes racism”: . . ."
"This is more of the same from the Democrats who went from Russia, Russia, Russia to Racist, Racist, Racist…"
So typical:

Asked if Trump shares any blame for the El Paso shooting Beto O'Rourke says "yes." "He is a racist and he stokes racism in this country." Full video:

Current Sr. Google Engineer Goes Public on Camera: Tech is “dangerous,” “taking sides”

Project Veritas  (New York City) "Project Veritas has published an on-the-record interview with an insider who works at Google named Greg Coppola. This video interview follows a series of insider Google reports, including internal Google documents, recently published by Project Veritas which exposed political bias, “algorithmic unfairness,” and the use of “blacklists” at YouTube.
"Coppola is a senior software engineer at Google who works on artificial intelligence and the Google Assistant:

COPPOLA: I’ve been coding since I was ten [years old.] I have a PhD, I have five years’ experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don’t write themselves. We write them to do what want them to do.”

(Other brave individuals who feel compelled to expose wrongdoing they witness can contact Project Veritas by sending an encrypted email to VeritasTips@protonmail.com.)

“that can be dangerous…” 
The insider spoke with Project Veritas because he wants people to be aware of his concerns about technology companies’ ability to influence politics:

COPPOLA: “Well I think we’re just at a really important point in human history. I think for a while we had tech that was politically neutral. Now we have tech that really, first of all is taking sides in a political contest, which I think, you know, anytime you have big corporate power merging with political parties can be dangerous. And I think more generally we have to just decide now that we kind of are seeing tech use its power to manipulate people. It’s a time to decide, you know, do we run the technology, does the technology run us?”

"Coppola believes that Google’s political motivations have compromised the integrity of the company’s Search and News products:. . . "

Today in hate: Aug 6th, 2019

We must take every threat from Democrats seriously because as we discovered once again this weekend they too have guns and are willing to shoot.

Don Surber  "After denouncing hate on Sunday, Democrats went back on Monday to calling for violence against conservatives.

"In Kentucky, Mitch McConnell is convalescing at home after breaking a shoulder.

"Nancy's Army went to his house to harass him. He's 77.

"The New York Post reported, "Gun control supporters stood outside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home in Kentucky on Sunday night — protesting and hurling death threats at him — while broadcasting on Facebook Live.

"' 'Murder Turtle!' the demonstrators can be heard shouting on video, in reference to McConnell’s infamous nickname.

"'Come out, come out, wherever you are,' a person says at one point, while the others continue to yell.

"'The bitch home — we keep seeing the lights go on and off,' another says. 'This hoe really thought he was going to get ready to be at home after he hurt his little punk ass shoulder. Bitch, don’t nobody give a f–k! F–k your thoughts and prayers, Mitch. F–k you, f–k your wife, f–k everything you stand for.'"

Democrats’ Debate Cowardice, Hypocrisy, and Nuttiness

Victor Davis Hanson

Rarely has America seen a more unhinged group of candidates.

Can't say for sure, but this may have been a CNN thing.

"Half of the Democratic 20-person primary field in the debates appeared unhappy, shrill, and self-righteous, and determined that no candidate should out-left any other.

"So far, they certainly sound clueless about how they sound to those in western Pennsylvania or southern Michigan.

"Their timidity also only accentuated rampant hypocrisy. It manifested itself a number of ways, from fear of defending their own past records to cowardice in calling out the rank socialist absurdities of the demagogues on stage.

"Does any candidate believe in one’s prior convictions?

"In debate one, Joe Biden could have barked back at the attack-dog Kamala Harris that federally mandated school busing was always a bad and unpopular idea. He could have asked her whether the young Harris was aware of the chaos of the 1970s that surrounded forced busing, the dislocations that caused more problems than any problem that busing solved. He might have mentioned that forced busing would find zero support today.

Could someone have apprised Spartacus Booker that the Russians did not hand the election to Donald Trump by preventing African Americans from voting in Michigan in 2016 — a yarn that ranks with his “T-Bone” fantasies? When Booker whined that the erstwhile policies of a Senator Joe Biden had helped to ruin his “community,” which community was he referring to? The hometown where he grew up as the child of two IBM executives — tony Harrington Park, N.J., which is less than 1 percent black and one of the most affluent bedroom and commuter communities outside Manhattan?

AOC Sics Her Social Media Mob On High School Kids, Then Deletes Post

Weasel Zippers  "AOC got disturbed that kids at a Mitch McConnell event posted a picture, fooling around and hugging a cardboard cut-out of her.\
"So she posted the above pic so her mob could track them down.
"She later deleted it, but it’s clear she was pointing at her followers to identify the kids.
"That was then followed up by people doxxing the kids, naming their school and trying to get them.
"Good job, there, AOC, siccing a mob on kids! Talk about abuse of power…"

One response to the Valley Girl, AOC:

(((AG)))@AG_Conservative

 · 21h

1) These are HS kids at an event that have no affiliation with McConnell. I assume you are now responsible for anyone who wears AOC gear?

2) These kids are acting dumb, but they are kids. Do you really think it's responsible for you to aim a mob of your followers at them for it? https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1158546217007222789 …

Had you hoped to cause something like this, AOC?

Have Democrats sold their souls for our votes?

Beto exploits tragedy for sake of politics  "The bodies in El Paso were barely cold when Beto O’Rourke started blaming President Trump." . . .

"CNN’s Jake Tapper cut to the chase: “Do you think President Trump is a white nationalist?” 
“Yes, I do,” said Beto." . . .

It seems that journalists and other Democrats care about only deaths that fit their agenda  . . . "The terms "white privilege" and people of color" are dog whistles used to gin up racial hate.
"There is nothing racist about a president who wants to enforce immigration laws that Congress passed.
There is also nothing racist about a president saying how deplorable, dirty and crime-ridden cities run by Democrats are.
"There is certainly nothing racist about a president who wants to give everyone the opportunity to move up the economic ladder.  It is racist to continually seek to keep more people dependent on government, especially minorities."

Why ‘policing is racist’ is such a poisonous lie  "The Democratic candidates have revived the anti-police rhetoric of the Obama years. Joe Biden’s criminal-justice plan promises that black parents will no longer have to fear when their children walk the streets — the threat allegedly coming from cops, not gangbangers. Pete Buttigieg has said police shootings of black men won’t be solved “until we move policing out from the shadow of systemic racism.” [Bobby Francis] O’Rourke claims that police shoot blacks “solely based on the color of their skin.”

"A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demolishes the Democratic narrative regarding race and police shootings. It turns out that white officers are no more likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot black civilians. It is a racial group’s rate of violent crime that determines police shootings, not the race of the officer. The more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from any given racial group, the greater the chance that members of that racial group will be shot by a police officer.

"In fact, if there is a bias in police shootings after crime rates are taken into account, it is against white civilians, the study found." . . .

The “policing is racist” discourse is poisonous. It exacerbates anti-cop tensions in minority communities and makes cops less willing to engage in the proactive policing that can save lives. Last month, viral videos of pedestrians in Harlem, The Bronx and Brooklyn pouring water on passive NYPD officers showed that anti-police hostility in the inner city remains at dangerous levels.

A staunch liberal Democrat wavers in reaction to the recent rhetoric of her party
. . . "My friend told me I had been right when I said the Republican Party was the party formed to end racism.  She commented that she had just learned that her Massachusetts ancestors, who were abolitionists, were Republicans." . . .
. . .  "My friend concluded that she just didn't know about the Democratic Party anymore and that she might just have to become an independent." . . .

What’s Really Behind the ‘White Supremacy’ Terrorism Scare

Julie Kelly

"The anti-Trump forces, now stripped of their Russian collusion ammunition, have invented another imaginary threat they hope to weaponize against the president: The public menace posed by “white supremacist” terrorism.

"Much like the collusion conspiracy theory—which relied on random incidents, fictional villains, unconvincing evidence, and the Bad Orange Man in the White House—there is little substance to this purported danger.

"Unironically, the whole ruse is being pushed by the same people who foisted the Russian collusion hoax on the American people for three years in the hopes of prompting President Trump’s impeachment and removal. The political agenda behind this manufactured white supremacy crisis is equally sinister because its specific purpose is to influence and undermine the 2020 elections.

"The “white supremacy” canard is intended to further demonize Trump; falsely defame his supporters as white supremacists; and pressure nervous voters into defeating Trump and Republican candidates next year. The strategy is as cynical as it is pernicious.

"Let’s clear one thing up before I get into the details: There is no systemic threat posed by white supremacy. Domestic white terrorists are not the same as, let alone worse than ISIS Jihadis. There has been no massive “surge” in white supremacy activity, as I wrote in November. These groups remain fringe, disorganized, and unrespected." . . .

Farcical convention of the Democratic Socialists of America sparks disappointment from lefties, hilarity from conservatives

Thomas Lifson 

"Do not use gendered language to address everyone!"

"Left to their own devices, the Democratic Socialists of America put on a convention that has thoroughly demonstrated why they should never be allowed to run anything more important that their own mouths. By now, you’ve probably seen some video clips of people out-woking each other, such as this:" . . .

Be sure to say your preferred pronouns after saying your name!

"Ever wonder what happens behind the closed doors of the Democratic Socialist convention? Here's a taste" . . .

Democratic Socialists of America convention rules:

No “aggressive scents” in the quiet room

No misuse of doors

No interacting with cops

No talking to the press I’m sorry, I thought this was America.

‘We’re here to win’: US democratic socialists move to center stage

Press and politicians attacks on President Trump surely have to embolden our adversaries

What enemy would agree to weaken themselves when they see anti-Trump politicians in the US trying to bring down our president. What evil dictator would not relish dealing with President "Beto" O'Rourke or "White House Barbie" AOC?

N. Korea fires projectiles twice into sea, S. Korea says  Is there a connection between the left's vitriol against President Trump and our enemies growing more aggressive?

Why Aren't Democratic Presidential Candidates Criticizing Trump's Foreign Policy?

"Perhaps the biggest compliment to Trump's foreign policy is his political opponents largely want to make the 2020 election about domestic issues.

Gotta protest something...anything!

"You'd think that with more than 20 Democrats running for President, at least one of them would try to differentiate herself, or himself, from the rest of the field by focusing on the president's role in diplomacy and national security.

"It's still early in the campaign. But none of the major Democratic candidates has made foreign policy a focus. Instead the politicians are out there talking mostly about climate change, health care, income inequality, student loan forgiveness, national service, drug rehabilitation, racism—anything, it seems, except for geopolitics or grand strategy.

"Part of the reason is that the foreign policy threats seem distant. The Soviet Union is gone and the Cold War is over. The 18 year-olds who will be voting for the first time in the 2020 presidential election were not even alive during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

"When it comes to handling China, the Democratic leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.), has been cheering the president on. "Hang tough on China, President @realDonaldTrump. Don't back down. Strength is the only way to win with China," Schumer tweeted Sunday.

"Trump hasn't started any wars, so the Democrats can't really fault him for that.   . . ."

. . . Perhaps the biggest compliment to Trump's foreign policy is that in an economy with the lowest unemployment in 50 years, 3.2 percent GDP growth, and stable prices, his political opponents largely want to make the 2020 election about domestic issues. If the Democrats can't find some way between now and Election Day to make Trump seem vulnerable on national security, it will make retaking the White House that much tougher for them.  . . .
