LGBTQ Group Calls on Hallmark Channel to Broadcast a “Gay Christmas”

Instinct Magazine

Todd Starnes  "You won’t find “I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus” on the Hallmark Channel this year and that’s a mighty big problem for some folks in the LGBT community.

"The family-friendly television network is under fire from activists for a lack of diversity in their Christmas programming. Specifically, they want Hallmark to don some gay apparel."

“Hallmark and Lifetime Have 70 New Holiday Movies – None with an LGBTQ Main Character,” Yahoo declared in a recent story.

"LGBTQNation.com got right to the point in a recent editorial.

“So, Hallmark and Lifetime, how long are we going to have to wait for that LGBT holiday romance movie,” they asked.

"They rationalized their request by suggesting that women and gays love to kiss. And therefore, a dude-on-dude smooth would be a boon for viewership and advertising revenue.

“The competition to witness the first gay kiss will most likely make it a hit. As for advertisers, they’re already there. Can you imagine Target, to name one, pulling their Hallmark advertising budget over a gay kiss? The reality is new advertisers want to be in on the event, and even if not, the backlash would be too much to overcome,” they wrote.

"Instinct Magazine also joined the call for gay Christmas movies.
“Despite being the go-to channel for Christmas films for decades, Hallmark has also been known for its fear of diversifying its stories. Frankly, Hallmark’s Christmas movies have continued to be about straight, white people,” they wrote.
"Hallmark has not committed one way or the other — seeing how they are in the business of entertaining, not indoctrinating.
"But don’t be surprised if Hallmark’s next Countdown to Christmas features a movie about a couple of Santa’s reindeer getting frisky up on the roof top."

Then a transgender Christmas?

Constitutional Law Prof. Stuns Dems on Impeachment: 'It's YOUR Abuse of Power'

Law Professor Jonathan Turley appeared before congress for today's impeachment hearing and called out the Democrats for pushing through impeachment on the flimsiest of grounds saying: If you impeach over this "It's an abuse of power."

Jonathan Turley: 'This is wrong,' being mad is no basis for impeachment
"Jonathan Turley, professor at George Washington University Law School, delivers his opening statement at the House Judiciary Committee's public impeachment hearing."

"Democrats err in making skin color, not competence, the top qualification for a candidate."

Don Surber: "The departure of Kamala Harris from the Democrat presidential circus drew an unexpected bitterness from some African-Americans.
"Oh, they were not going to vote for her. Last month, The Hill reported, "47% of black voters said Biden was their first choice and 12% said both Warren and Sanders. Only 4% said Harris."
If we are to believe the poll, 96% of Democrats didn't think Harris was good enough to be president. Ah, but apparently the 96% also want her to still be a presidential candidate.
"MSNBC weekend personality Joy Reid tweeted, "The reality is that no 2020 candidate is perfect, but the extent to which people -- including the media but also would-be voters -- punished and refused to even consider Kamala Harris for flaws she frankly shared with other candidates, was telling and depressing.
. . . 
"Cory Booker, the other inexperienced black senator in this race, is upset that Harris departed. He told MSNBC, "We started with one of the most diverse fields in our history. It's a damn shame now that the only African American woman in this race, who has been speaking to issues that need to be brought up, is now no longer in it."
"Democrats offer diversity, not competence. But Booker has a point. The experienced white senators are even worse than him and Harris. One's a crook, one's a liar, and one's a commie. They are all socialists, which means they are willing to give you the shirt off your back."

Joe Biden: Just Stupid Enough to Get Away with Being a Thief  "...you shouldn't be in

the least bit surprised. Joe Biden has always been just smart enough to see what he could get away with, and just dumb enough that few believed he could actually be that corrupt -- like finding out your favorite Bond supervillain had the IQ of an ashtray." 'I'm clearly too stupid to be that diabolical" has somehow worked for Biden for decades, 

but it's never worked well enough to win him the Democratic presidential nomination..."

Fun Mocking Biden’s ‘No Malarkey’ Tour, Here Are Alternate Slogans

Professor Mike Adams: "Victoria’s Secret"

This Mike Adams video is not related to the subject of my posted article; it is only to demonstrate why more than just the campus left wants to ruin the professor:

Mike Adams  "Victoria (last name withheld) is a senior at UNC-Wilmington where I have taught for 26 years. She is also an adult who exercised her First Amendment right to criticize me by name in a large online public forum. Unfortunately, some people who read her social media post incorrectly concluded that she had engaged in defamatory speech, which is not protected by the First Amendment. I disagree and write today in defense of her free speech rights. In order to establish appropriate context, I have reprinted her post below:

"Hey guys, I’m working with an anonymous professor on campus to create a resource where students can anonymously put in negative experiences with professors. Specifically this is in aims to address the racist and sexist remarks commented by professor Mike Adams. If you have any stories from the last two years at the university and would like to help me with this feel free to (direct message) me.  Also, If there are any ideas of how to set up this resource, let me know as well. A university that preaches diversity and it’s [sic] need for growth should not allow students to feel alienated or uncomfortable."

. . . "  the best remedy for bad speech is generally not to be found in lawsuits. The best remedy for bad speech is to be found in better speech. 
"In the case of Victoria’s bad speech, better speech did follow. Within minutes, a student named Brandon responded with the following:

"Lol this has to be a joke. I’ve felt alienated since freshman year for being a Republican."

"Part of the beauty of this remark is that Brandon is Hispanic. He also added a comment specifically denying that I am either sexist or racist. But the fun was just beginning.  . . .
. . . "But let us take a moment to contrast Victoria’s behavior with the cowardice of her secret professor and mentor. That professor is hiding in the shadows and trying to target me for my political views. That has been tried before here at UNC-Wilmington. It ended up with a jury verdict and an order from a judge to pay me over three-quarters of a million dollars in legal fees and back pay. I used the money to buy guns and several expensive guitars, which I named after the defendants. They are prominently displayed in my living room and make great conversation pieces."  . . .

Schiff's next targets after Trump, Devin Nunes and the Republicans

With the full support of news media and Hollywood.

Adam Schiff's other impeachment target: Devin Nunes  "Rep. Devin Nunes is the most effective dismantler of all the calculated "narratives" and pre-scripted attacks against President Trump.  He's the one who revealed how these things cranked into gear well before Trump was elected and which have now shifted to the Rep. Adam Schiff impeachment bid.  If something's going on, Nunes has a way of finding it.  If Democrats would like you to think the "whistleblower" report was just some spontaneous effort by some "concerned" public servant instead of a pre-co-ordinated bid to Get Trump, nobody takes these things down like Nunes" . . .

This particular aspect of Schiff’s efforts appears to have no purpose other than to smear and/or sideline Nunes

Schiff is a lout and a liar. This particular aspect of Schiff’s efforts appears to have no purpose other than to smear and/or sideline Nunes, who has established himself as the Republicans’ most valuable player in deconstructing Schiff shows past and present.

Nunes sues CNN over 'demonstrably false' Ukraine report  . . . "Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, has filed a $435 million defamation suit against CNN over a story that alleged Nunes met with a fired Ukrainian prosecutor in an effort to dig up dirt on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

"The story — "Giuliani associate willing to tell Congress Nunes met with ex-Ukrainian official to get dirt on Biden" — was published Nov. 22. It was based on the words of Joseph Bondy, the attorney for Ukrainian-born Lev Parnas, who worked closely with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani in pursuing allegations of Ukrainian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election as well as allegations of corruption in Ukraine involving Biden's son Hunter. Parnas is currently under indictment on campaign finance charges." . . .

Christmas for CNN! Trump hits back after Trudeau appears to mock him in NATO summit video.

Fox News  "President Trump slammed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday as "two-faced" after video surfaced of some of the world's top leaders at the NATO summit in London appearing to laugh at his expense.
"Asked about the video during a bilateral meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Trump said of Trudeau, “he’s two-faced.” 

"Trump then abruptly canceled a planned news conference with reporters in London. "When today’s meetings are over, I will be heading back to Washington," Trump tweeted. "We won’t be doing a press conference at the close of NATO because we did so many over the past two days. Safe travels to all!' "  
. . . 
"In a video shared by the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and French President Emmanuel Macron are seen with others, including Princess Anne, having a conversation at a reception at the Buckingham Palace about a press conference earlier in the day.
"Trump had made an impromptu conference and weighed in on the ongoing impeachment inquiry as well as the fiery exchange he had with Macron over France not taking back any ISIS fighters.
""Is that why you were late?" Boris smirked to Macron.
"He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top — 'Oh, ya, ya ya,'" Trudeau said, later adding, "You just watched his team's jaws drop to the floor." . . .

NATO leaders apparently mocking Trump in video proof America 'cannot be trusted' by allies, Cory Booker says  “ 'On the world stage, [Trump] just insulted, called the leader of Canada, our most essential ally who has been there with us in every conflict since 9/11, standing in partnership with us in so many ways, to just throw out a school-yard taunt, or punch, like that… [it] stunned me,” Booker said.

Hillary claims she is 'deluged' [with requests that she run for president]

Thomas Lifson  "It looks a lot as though Hillary Clinton is hoping for a deadlocked Democratic National Convention, and that Michelle Obama means it when she says that she's not interested in running for president.  Hillary would love to be begged to save her party from a split between the radicals and the less-radicals and take the stage in Milwaukee as the Democrats' nominee (again), this time visiting Wisconsin.
"Simon Kent of Breitbart caught her appearance on the BBC's Graham Norton Show, where before a friendly host and wildly applauding studio audience she praised a women's soccer star who stepped aside to let younger talent take the field before doing a 180 and, when asked if she applies this to her own career, responded, "Not yet." . . .

Maybe she understands that there are a lot of Democrats who resent the rabbit hole she has led them down with her claims of Russian interference leading to the Mueller investigation that whetted the demands for impeachment while simultaneously discrediting such efforts.  Now they are stuck with a choice between alienating their radical base by dropping impeachment and alienating the unaffiliated swing voters, who are likely to be turned off by what will come out in a Senate trial.

Is someone gonna ask the Clintons about all those trips to Epstein's 'cowboy village'?

Yet Epstein was obsessed with cameras and obviously blackmail.  He roped in Prince Andrew.  But the real question is to what extent he got the Clintons.  With all these new revelations rolling out, why is the press silent?

Hillary Clinton Becomes a Punchline for Establishment Dems  " . . . but odds are she'll have the last laugh when she's standing on the convention floor in Milwaukee next summer as the "unity candidate," once the fractured, demoralized Democratic Party comes to its senses and concludes that she really is the best it has to offer."

Kamala Harris 2020 Staffer Says She Never Saw Campaign Staff Treated 'So Poorly'

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Reason  "Things continue to go awry for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. In early November, the California senator's campaign announced a round of layoffs and pay cuts. Now state operations director Kelly Mehlenbacher has resigned—and her farewell letter offers a scathing glimpse inside Harris' operation.
" 'This is my third presidential campaign and I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly," Mehlenbacher wrote in the letter obtained by The New York Times. "With less than 90 days until Iowa we still do not have a real plan to win."
" 'We have refused to confront our mistakes, foster an environment of critical thinking and honest feedback, or trust the expertise of talented staff," Mehlenbacher's letter continued.

"The Times interviewed "50 current and former campaign staff members and allies, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity." Their takeway? Harris' swift drop—which the campaign and its allies have blamed on racism and sexism—was both predictable and largely divorced from larger cultural or political forces:" . . .

Good riddance: Kamala Harris leaves presidential race with her tail between her legs

Add caption

. . . "Her record as a prosecutor showed even more sorry stuff for women and black people. She kept prisoners in prison beyond their terms as Attorney General of California in order to help some bureaucrat get the forest fighting help they needed. She condoned sleazy lies and invented testimony by corrupt local district attorneys in order to suck up to local power or else make herself, as was part of the fashion at the time, to look tough on crime.

"She seemed incapable of honesty on anything, and not just honesty but competence. Was it a red flag to anyone that Miss Me-Too harbored an expensive sex-harasser in one of her most important staff positions as California's AG? Or that she had some deal for free limo service from the LAPD?" . . .

Trump Trolls Kamala Harris For Dropping Out Of Presidential Race  . . . "In her statement announcing the end of her campaign, Harris said, “And our campaign uniquely spoke to the experiences of Black women and people of color — and their importance to the success and future of this party. Our campaign demanded no one should be taken for granted by any political party.' ”. . .

"Joe Biden claimed the only black female Senator is endorsing him, forcing Kamala Harris to remind him that she exists" claims MSN, however even this defense of her by the Washington Post :

Harris has had life experiences different from those of many black Americans. Her father is a Jamaican immigrant; her mother is a Tamil Indian immigrant. Her husband is a white man from New York. While she was born in Oakland — a city with a rich history of African American activism — Harris spent her early childhood in Berkeley, Calif., and worshiped at a Hindu temple in addition to attending black Baptist services. She attended high school in Montreal before returning to the United States for college at Howard University, a historically black college.These differences may help explain why some voters want to know more about her background. Some want to know that she understands some of the issues affecting black Americans since the emancipation of slaves. Harris has said that she supports reparations for the descendants of black people who were enslaved in the United States.

Sooooo, does she pledge to pay reparations?  Or receive them from us?

Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, and here: Kamala Harris’ Jamaican Family were Slave Owners, her Policies as AG were No Different…#NeverKamala

 SLAVE REGISTERS FROM LONDON Name The Slaves Kamala Harris’ Ancestor Owned  . . . "Hamilton Brown was not only a slave owner, but also an engineer of mass Irish migration to Jamaica after the British empire abolished slavery in 1834.
"Jamaican Family Search recorded: “Hamilton Brown owned several plantations over the years 1817 to about 1845. According to the 1818 Almanac which can be found on this site, (Jamaican Family Search) , he was the owner of Minard (128 slaves) which he must have acquired from its previous owner (John Bailie) in 1815 or later. The number of slaves on this estate approximates the number of slaves in one of the registers attributed to his ownership (124 slaves)." . . .

Kamala Harris:’After We Impeach, We Round Up The Trump Supporters

"Woke' may work in California but.....  "Most of Harris’s reversals suggest a campaigner who wanted to be the woke dream candidate, but then belatedly recognized that woke positions might not be as popular or workable as she initially believed them to be."

National Review: Good Riddance to Kamala Harris

Everything that is wrong with American politics is summed up in Kamala Harris. She’s a weather vane. She’s dishonest. She’s a coward. She’s condescending. And she’s a phony. She’s the answer to no useful or virtuous question. Nothing good has come from her election. She has nothing of value to offer America. Goodbye. Bad luck. That’s all, folks.

No Democrat came into Congress wanting to impeach President Trump. Really.

Trump said Pelosi told him Friday, "'We're not looking to impeach you.'"  CNN

Wallace Fact Checks Rep. Hakeem Jeffries After Trying To Claim Dems Haven’t Been Pushing Impeachment Since Moment Trump Took Office…

CNN: New House Democrat Rashida Tlaib: 'We're gonna impeach the motherf****r' 

. . . "Her office also released a statement Friday, saying, "The Congresswoman absolutely believes he needs to be impeached."

" 'She ran and won by making this very clear to the voters in her district," the statement said. "Donald Trump's actions have harmed the 13th Congressional District and this country, and Congresswoman Tlaib will not stay silent while this happens."

"Tlaib also penned an op-ed Thursday arguing that "the time for impeachment proceedings is now.' " . . .

You're Not Imagining It: The Media Really Is Biased About Impeaching Donald Trump

PJ Media  "Media watchdog NewsBusters breaks it down for us. In a study released this week, NewsBusters reports that major networks gave dozens of hours of coverage to the impeachment hearings against President Trump, but in 1998 they gave a fraction of that amount of coverage to Ken Starr's impeachment presentation against President Clinton:

Broadcast networks NBC, CBS, and ABC have donated 75 hours of free air time to Democrats’ impeachment hearings, despite notably poor (and consistently shrinking) ratings. Yet during President Clinton’s impeachment, these same networks could not be bothered to carry more than a few hours of independent counsel Ken Starr’s one-day presentation of the evidence against Clinton on November 19, 1998.

By contrast back in November of 1998, NBC aired a paltry 26 percent (194 minutes) of Starr’s 12.5 hours of testimony on Capitol Hill. CBS covered 42 percent of the hearing (314 minutes), while ABC broadcast 36 percent (272 minutes).

"One wonders what motivates the alphabet networks, given the pathetic ratings achieved. Perhaps they've misread their consumers once again? In another report, NewsBusters dove into the ratings and showed that despite tremendous buildup and anticipation, the first few days of impeachment hearings achieved a fraction of the coverage of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings in 2018: . . ."
