Emails Undermine Attacks on Hannity and Carlson; This List Of Attacks Against Conservatives Is Mind Blowing

. . . Well aside from the fact that the now-revealed Areu emails of the day are said to have blown “holes” (Mediaite) in these accusations (or, per the Post, revealed “inconsistencies”). Ironically, the lawsuit brings into focus yet again just how serious and widespread is the problem of the Cancel Culture across the nation and its determination to silence conservatives wherever they may be found, especially at Fox News. So in this latest case? Stand with Sean. Stand with Tucker. And stand for free speech.

Big Snowball

In the lawsuit, Areu claims, she was a “relatively regular” guest on Hannity’s prime-time show until March 8, 2018. “On that day, Mr. Hannity, on set and in front of the entire studio crew — and completely unsolicited — threw $100 on the set desk,” the suit claimed. “He then began calling out to the men in the room and demanding that someone take Ms. Areu out on a date for drinks at Del Friscos. He repeatedly yelled, ‘who wants to take her on a date?’ ‘Take her on a date to Del Friscos.’”

. . . "According to the story, Areu was “mortified” by this supposed sexist behavior.

Well, now.

"As it happens I myself have experienced a version of this supposedly mortifying Hannity behavior. I have been an occasional guest on Hannity’s TV show over the years. On one particular occasion last year, I was invited to the Fox NY studios to appear on a show that featured a panel of about a dozen people, men and women both. All were people who had appeared previously on his shows or those of other Fox hosts, and I knew many of them.

At the conclusion of the show Hannity did a version of what he is accused of doing by Areu. There was zero sexist about it. Sean Hannity is a perpetually upbeat human being, and always looking to make his guests comfortable. Not to mention he is always urging his guests to get to know one another by spending some socializing time out of the studio. In my case he was urging all of us to go to exactly the same restaurant mentioned to Areu, with a similar insistence on his picking up the tab. A group of us, men and women both, took him up on his offer. He did not join us. No one — say again no one — took offense. We went, had a great time and took a picture of ourselves toasting him with drinks in hand, sending it to him with our thanks.

As I have learned first-hand over the years in socializing with him at various parties, this is typical Sean Hannity behavior. Which is to say, he has always been both a gentleman and generous. I have never — say again never — seen him display the slightest hint of the behavior ascribed to him by Areu. There was none. Zip, zero, nada — none. Not for nothing has Fox News issued a statement that said the accusations against Sean, Tucker (and also Fox media critic Howard Kurtz) were “false, patently frivolous and utterly devoid of any merit.” . . .

CNN covered this as only CNN does:
Fox News Lawsuit Is The Latest Black Eye For The Network

Will 2021 Be 1984? It’s all about the power, not the equality.

Victor Davis Hanson  "Cultural revolutions are insidious and not just because they seek to change the way people think, write, speak, and act. They are also dangerous because they are fueled by self-righteous sanctimoniousness, expressed in seemingly innocuous terms such as “social activism,” “equality,” and “fairness.”
"The ultimate aim of the Jacobin, Bolshevik, or Maoist is raw power—force of the sort sought by Hugo Chavez or the Castro dynasty to get rich, inflict payback on their perceived enemies, reward friends, and pose as saviors.
"Cubans and Venezuelans got poor and killed; woke Chavezes and Castros got rich and murderous.
"Leftist agendas are harder to thwart than those of right-wing dictators such as Spain’s Francisco Franco because they mask their ruthlessness with talk of sacrifice for the “poor” and concern about the “weak.” 

Toon added by TD

"Strong-man Baathists, Iranian Khomeinists, and the German National Socialists claimed they hated capitalism. So beware when the Marxist racialists who run Black Lives Matter, the wannabe Maoists of Antifa, the George Soros-paid activists, “the Squad” and hundreds of state and local officials like them in cities such as Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis, and Big Tech billionaires take power. These are “caring” people who couldn’t care less about the working classes or the hundreds of African-Americans murdered in America’s inner cities.
Vice President as President

"If Joe Biden is elected, the effort to remove him by those now supporting him will begin the day after the election and it will not be as crude as rounding up a Yale psychiatrist to testify to his dementia in Congress . . . " It will be far more insidious and successful: leaked stories to the New York Times and Washington Post from empathetic White House insiders will speak of how “heroically” Biden is fighting his inevitable decline—and how gamely he tries to marshal his progressive forces even as his faculties desert him. We would read about why Biden is a national treasure by sacrificing his health to get elected and then nobly bowing out as he realized the cost of his sacrifice on his person and family. " . . .

UPDATED, Monday, 7/27: Radio Host Mocked Trump For Calling Seattle Violent, Then Antifa Torched His Apartment Building…

 UPDATE: Stop teasing Paul Gallant, who went from dissing Trump to wanting a gun

"Many people have been having fun because Paul Gallant, a Seattle sports reporter, put out a snarky tweet in June that Trump was overstating the extent of the Seattle protests, only to have the rioters get too close to him, prompting him to contemplate getting a gun. Here’s the deal, though: This guy is everyman, and we want him to be welcome on the freedom side of American politics.

"We’re not talking about a left-wing fanatic here. Gallant is just someone who wants to do the right thing while living in a leftist world. Rather than being shamed, he should be welcomed to the world of the Second Amendment and other constitutional rights.

. . . "If you go to Gallant’s Twitter feed, his Facebook page, or his blog, each is 99% devoted to sports. He’s certainly not above a little bit of Trump-bashing but, compared to what the hard left is doing, it’s minimal. His heart isn’t in it.

"For example, immediately after Trump’s election, Gallant said that he didn’t believe most Trump supporters are racists: . . ."

The Post Millennial via Weasel Zippers   "Seattle radio host and Twitter-based criminal defense advocate Paul Gallant "dunked" on President Donald Trump last month by denying that the riots are violent, then the radio host was scored on by rioters who set fire to his apartment. Now he's taking up arms." . . .

"Walked through it last night out of curiosity and saw no burning, pillaging, or deaths," Gallant responded in June to Trump's tweet calling out the violent leftists who continue to terrorize Seattle. "Chill dawg," Gallant added sarcastically.
"Last night, Gallant had a sudden change of heart towards the "peaceful protestors" when he came home to his apartment complex vandalized. He found the Starbucks underneath torched with graffiti plastered on the storefront. Cops told residents to stay away in case of explosives inside.
"He's was defending criminals before but he's "[r]eally angry right now.'"
"He and his cat ventured out after he witnessed a fire roaring a few blocks away.
"I feel like I need to buy a firearm, because clearly this is going to keep happening. Enough is enough," Gallant furiously typed.
"Not In My Back Yard is a hard red pill to swallow."

Antifa and BLM: The Greatest Second Amendment Promoters Since the NRA  . . . "In the past it was said that a de facto conservative is a liberal who just got mugged by reality; it now seems that de facto conservatives are liberals and independents rich or poor, who just bought guns for—no-kidding— defense of home and family. And these new gun owners are not about to give them back, especially in light of the internet-driven chaos launched by Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other outriders of the Democratic Party.
"Come November, does anyone think that folks who just spent $500 to $1,000 or more on firearms for honest-to-God personal defense are going to vote for the vertiginous Joe Biden who would appoint the skateboarding-wannabe-Latino, “Beto” O’Rourke, to take their guns away and leave them unprotected? Really?" . . .

I'm sure CNN will let their outrage be known:

Yes, George Soros Sent Money to Fund the Riots—and So Did Taxpayers

How great can a nation be when an elderly billionaire can bring it to its knees and spoiled children still under their parent's insurance can completely dominate its streets?

Ben Garrison Cartoons

Bice expresses righteous outrage over a radical group using taxpayer funding to advocate for the abolition of police forces altogether, and using that money to organize riots and looting:

PJ Media   "Ever since the protests turned to riots over the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis, rumors have flown that George Soros and his Open Society Foundation had to be involved. After all, OSF funded Black Lives Matter in 2015. It didn’t take long to reveal the financial ties to current riots and to show that OSF and George Soros directly support the movement today. Particularly infuriating are the taxpayer-funded grants received in conjunction with the Soros funding.

"Daniel Bice of the Milwaukie Journal-Sentinel reports that a group called Freedom, Inc. has received grants from the Wisconsin Department of Justice:

The Madison-based nonprofit has advocated for the release of all African Americans from jail and the defunding of police departments. As for the current protests, the group’s leaders say “all actions against racist state violence are justified.”

“Stop murdering black people, and your glass will be safe,” Monica Adams, co-executive director for Freedom Inc., said while leading the third day of police protests in the state’s capital on Monday.

“Thank all the youth freedom fighters who were in the streets fighting (Sunday) night and Saturday night,” said Mahnker Dahnweih, community power-building coordinator for Freedom Inc. “Every action is a contribution to liberation.”

So where does a group like this get the money it needs to promote its agenda?

A lot of it comes from you.

Records show that the state has awarded contracts and grants worth $3.6 million to Freedom Inc., which advocates for minority and LGBTQ communities, over the past five years.

That includes $876,674 in federal grants awarded by the state Department of Justice since January 2019, when Attorney General Josh Kaul took office. The state Department of Children and Families has paid out $732,403 to Freedom Inc. under Gov. Tony Evers over the past 1½ years.

WNBA Players Walk Off The Court During National Anthem

Daily Wire  "Players on the New York Liberty and Seattle Storm WNBA teams walked off the court during the U.S. national anthem in a social justice protest before their game on Saturday.
"The WNBA players said in remarks before the game that their demonstration was over the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman killed in March after police forced their way into her home while executing a no-knock warrant. Liberty player Layshia Clarendon stood at mid-court with Storm’s Breanna Stewart before the start of the game at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and dedicated the season to Taylor, according to the New York Post.
"“We are dedicating this season to Breonna Taylor, an outstanding EMT who was murdered over 130 days ago in her home,” Clarendon said. “Breonna Taylor was dedicated and committed to uplifting everyone around here. We are also dedicating this season to ‘Say Her Name’ campaign, a campaign committed to saying the names and fighting for justice of black women – black women are so often forgotten in this fight for justice, who don’t have people marching in the streets for them. We will say her name. Sandra Bland. Atatiana Jefferson. Dominique Remy Fells. Breonna Taylor. We will be a voice for the voiceless.' ” . . .

The Pacific coast: such a waste of this beautiful area

Is Portland, Oregon Ready to Elect an Antifa Mayor?   "Longtime Portland community organizer Sarah Iannarone has made no secret of her political sympathies. She declared last year that “I am Antifa” and wryly embraced the “Antifa mayor” label. She and her campaign manager, Gregory McKelvey, were featured in a December article in Playboy with the headline “Antifa in Focus.”
“ 'I am antifa,” she tweeted in September. “I stand proudly beside the good people of this city organizing in countless ways every day to oppose hate in its myriad forms.”

"Two months later, she tweeted, “If they’re going to call me ‘Antifa Mayor,’ then I might as well fight fascism.' ” . . .

The Iannarrone campaign paid for the poll, so take it with a grain of salt. However, Ted Wheeler has been widely panned for his tepid campaign. Wheeler should have run away with the election in the primary, but under Oregon rules for non-partisan elections, if nobody gets over 50% in the primary, the top two finishers move to a runoff held at the same time as the general election in November." . . .

What does it say about Oregon voters when a politician seeking elected office there openly declares they stand with Antifa?

CNN Characterizes Biden as a “Man of Faith” Who Appeals to Evangelical Voters

Activist Mommy

That is…until there’s an election coming up. Suddenly, it appears, the Democrats and their apologists in the media seem to remember what a significant portion of the U.S. population those dreaded white evangelicals make up.

"As much as it irks opponents of President Donald Trump, his support among evangelical voters has nearly almost been strong and unwavering. While it doesn’t take a regular churchgoer to see that Trump is not your average Christian leader, the position he has taken against a culture that regularly seeks mocks and maligns people of faith has always been one of his biggest appeals for many.
"As the Democrats continue to embrace cultural and political trends that undermine religious liberty and demean the authority of the Word of God, white, evangelical Christians (especially males) are increasingly demonized.
"That is…until there’s an election coming up. Suddenly, it appears, the Democrats and their apologists in the media seem to remember what a significant portion of the U.S. population those dreaded white evangelicals make up.
"In a glowing profile of the Biden campaign’s outreach to white, evangelical voters, CNN’s Sarah Muncha, in what does not appear to be an op-ed, breathlessly describes how Biden has displayed his faith by way of attending churches on the campaign trail and making polite, heavily pluralistic descriptions of his own faith.
"While she admits that although “President Trump is likely not in danger of losing the White evangelical vote,” a bloc he secured by 81% in 2016, “religious Democrats hope Biden can chip away at that support, which Trump needs in order to win reelection in November.”
"She explains that in order to do this, the campaign has zeroed in on white evangelical women, who are apparently more concerned about the environment, and evangelical millennials, who take more socially liberal stances than their older counterparts.
"In one particular passage which sounds as though it could have been written by the campaign itself, [CNN's] Muncha gushes: . . ."

A digital ad released last week that will play in battleground states introduces Biden as a leader of faith, drawing an implicit contrast with Trump without naming him. A female voice narrates the ad, called ‘That’s Joe,’ over still pictures and videos of Biden praying, greeting people, and wearing a mask. “In a crisis, it’s character that counts. We need a president who leads with faith, not fear,” she says, in part.

Rep. Gohmert says ban the Democrat Party; We'll see how Nancy Pelosi handles it

I can't see her denying the history of this; I see her doing a diversion. TD 

Gohmert has mastered Alinsky's Rule 4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."   Andrea Widburg

Rep. Gohmert goes full Alinsky to make Democrats play by their own rules  . . . "Rep. Louis Gohmert from Texas has been paying attention, and he's gotten the message.  The new rule is that slavery, which ended in America over 150 years ago, is so wrong that anything associated with slavery must be banned.  Gohmert introduced a "privileged resolution calling on Congress to ban any political party or organization that has held a public position supportive of slavery."  As his official statement makes clear, the only thing still operative in America that meets this metric is the Democrat party:
 "What is this obscenity that lives on despite the statue purge?  It's the Democrat party itself.  Gohmert details the horrific sins that the Democrat party committed against African-Americans, beginning with its 1840 platform and continuing to the Democrats' 75-day-long filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the way the party lionized Robert Byrd, a onetime KKK recruiter.  The resolution also references:

• the 1856 Democrat party platform saying that there is nothing in the Constitution to prevent either existing or new slave states;
• the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850;
• the 0% support Democrats gave to the 14th Amendment, giving slaves citizenship, and the 15th Amendment, giving them the right to vote;
• the 1902 Virginia Constitution that disenfranchised 90% of black men and nearly half of all white men, effectively suppressing Republican voters;
• the 1912 decision Democrat President Woodrow Wilson made to segregate U.S. government employees; and
• the 1924 Democrat National Convention in New York City's Madison Square Garden, which cheerfully hosted a massive KKK presence." . . .

“To avoid triggering innocent bystanders by the racist past of the Democratic Party, I would suggest they change their name. That is the standard to which they are holding everyone else, so the name change needs to occur,” Gohmert concluded."

Ocasio-Cortez then claimed that Yoho ended his discussion about her policy with 'F***ing b***h!'

“Everything was directed at policy,” Yoho said. “When she told me that, yes, she thought it was right for people to go ahead and shoplift if you’re hungry, I said ‘Seriously, with as many social programs and faith-based programs and all these other and food kitchens around, the best that you can do is to offer people in your district to go ahead and shoplift while you’re calling at the same time to defund the police?’”

“I said those are just absolutely the most frickin’ crazy policy ideas I’ve ever h[eard],” Yoho continued. “And I says, ‘Your policy ideas are disgusting,’ and I turned around and walked away. And that was really about as long as that interaction lasted.”

When asked if he called her a “f***ing b***h,” Yoho said that he did not, saying, “I walked down the steps, I said, ‘This is just such frickin’ BS.’”

Four Months of Unprecedented Government Malfeasance

"But civilization is everywhere and at all times vulnerable to the darkest human impulses. Government exists to rein in those impulses so that individual initiative can flourish. America’s Founders, schooled in a profound philosophical and literary tradition dating back to classical antiquity, understood the fragility of civil peace and the danger of the lustful, vengeful mob."

Imprimus; Heather Mac Donald, Manhattan Institute  . . . "On March 30, the infamous Imperial College London model predicted 2.2 million deaths in the U.S. by September 1, absent government action. That prediction was absurd on its face, given the dispersal of the U.S. population and the fact that China’s coronavirus death toll had already levelled off at a few thousand. The authors of that study soon revised it radically downwards.
"Too late. It had already become the basis for the exercise of unprecedented government power. California was the first state to lock down its economy and confine its citizens to their homes; eventually almost every other state would follow suit, under enormous media pressure to do so.
"Never before had public officials required millions of lawful businesses to shut their doors, throwing tens of millions of people out of work. They did so at the command of one particular group of experts—those in the medical and public health fields—who viewed their mandate as eliminating one particular health risk with every means put at their disposal.
"If the politicians who followed their advice weighed a greater set of considerations, balancing the potential harm from the virus against the harm from the shutdowns, they showed no sign of it. Instead, governors and mayors started rolling out one emergency decree after another to terminate economic activity, seemingly heedless of the consequences.
"The lockdown mandates employed mind-numbingly arbitrary distinctions. Wine stores and pot dispensaries were deemed “essential” and thus allowed to stay open; medical offices were required to close. Large grocery stores got the green light; small retail establishments with only a few customers each day were out of luck. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer notoriously used her red pen within megastores to bar the sale of seeds, gardening supplies, and paint." . . .

Records show the night Cathy Areu claims Fox News’ Tucker Carlson tried to ‘coax’ her to his hotel, his wife and kids were in the room

Wayne Dupree  
So, Tucker allegedly wanted to have a "secret affair" with his entire family in the room? 

"Cathy Areu’s “sexual harassment” story against Fox News’ Tucker Carlson is falling apart.

I mean, it’s really, really falling apart.
"On the night when Cathy claims Tucker tried to “coax” her to his New York City hotel room, allegedly telling her he was “all alone,” records actually show that his wife and kids were in the hotel, and staying in his room.
"I don’t know about you, but I highly doubt that Tucker was trying to have a sneaky “affair” with his entire family in the room." . . .

, , , "Cathy Areu’s “sexual harassment” story against Fox News’ Tucker Carlson is falling apart.
"I mean, it’s really, really falling apart.
"It started when an unearthed tweet from last year resurfaced. Cathy Areu announced to the world that Tucker Carlson had always been “polite” to her in that tweet. Kind of a strange thing to say about someone who is “sexually harassing” you, right?
"One, in particular, is very damning.
"On the night when Cathy claims Tucker tried to “coax” her to his New York City hotel room, allegedly telling her he was “all alone,” records actually show that his wife and kids were in the hotel, and staying in his room.
"I don’t know about you, but I highly doubt that Tucker was trying to have a sneaky “affair” with his entire family in the room." . . .
From Mediaite:

Inconsistencies are emerging in claims made by Cathy Areu, a once-periodic Fox News guest, that she was harassed by some of the network’s biggest names — including prime time anchor Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. New emails obtained by Mediaite shed further light on the case.In a lawsuit filed on Monday in the Southern District of New York, Areu claims she was harassed by Carlson, Hannity and other employees of the network, and that she was largely barred from appearing after she declined their advances. In an initial response the company said the claims were “completely false.”Over the last several days, records of Areu’s appearances on the network and other publicly available information has undermined some of her claims. New emails between Areu and the network’s employees seem to add to those concerns.Even more significantly, eyewitness accounts indicate Carlson’s wife was with him on a key evening when Areu said Carlson promised her he would be alone.That claim leads to another issue. “Following the show,” Areu asserts in her lawsuit, “Mr. Carlson, hardly making any effort to hide his intentions, began telling Ms. Areu that he would be alone in New York City that night, and specifically said that he would be staying alone in his hotel room without any wife or kids.”A source familiar with the event told Mediaite that Carlson’s wife did attend the Tucker Carlson Tonight Christmas party. Fox News also told Mediaite that Carlson hosted the entire party for his show’s staff alongside his wife, who stayed in the hotel with him that evening.“She didn’t go to the party so she can’t say who was there, but certainly stands by what he told her,” Areu’s attorney said.Areu’s claim that she was harassed by Carlson also relies on insight into the Fox News host’s frame of mind: “Without question, Mr. Carlson was probing to see whether Ms. Areu was interested in a sexual relationship,” the suit said. Areu’s public comments about Carlson since the alleged incident have also been warm. In one 2019 post on Twitter, Areu wrote that Carlson “has always been polite to me.”“Ms. Areu awkwardly sidestepped Mr. Carlson’s advances and declined to spend the night at his hotel,” the lawsuit continued. “Mr. Carlson promptly retaliated against Ms. Areu, who was featured on his show only three times in 2019 and has not appeared once in 2020.”

"In addition, her claims against Sean Hannity are also falling to bits.
"Remember that claim that Sean “slammed” $100 bucks on the table and ordered “men” to buy her drinks?
"Well, emails show that was not the case at all. Hannity offered to buy a drink for Cathy and a friend that she brought to Fox News studios. Later, she even emailed a picture of the martini she bought and thanked Sean for his kindness.
"This woman is pure evil, and she’s the reason that real victims of assault and harassment are no longer taken seriously.
"I wish people like this would face charges for lying (false reporting). Until that happens, these phony accusations will keep happening."

Justice Department Announces Charges Against Rioters at Portland Courthouse

Townhall

The Portland federal courthouse

"Leftists in Portland are routinely committing violence in the downtown area. This week, the rioters have set their sights on the Hatfield Federal Courthouse, which is a mistake since vandalizing federal property isn't handled by the pusillanimous officials of Portland but by folks at the U.S. Department of Justice. 
"U.S. Attorney Billy Williams announced on Friday that 18 individuals arrested during attacks on the Hatfield Federal Courthouse this past week are now facing federal charges. Court documents say protests in downtown Portland have been followed by criminal activity that includes assaults on law enforcement officers, arson, looting, destruction of property, and vandalism. The federal courthouse has become a target of leftist vandals and has sustained extensive damage. " . . .

Here's the video of the riots in Portland that the media does not want you to see. This is what Joe Biden referred to as "peaceful" and blamed law enforcement for the violence.
