Breitbart"The woke Academy Awards has seen its ratings fall through the floor as Americans sick of being lectured to by wealthy elites are tuning out en masse. Now eight-time Oscar nominee actor Bradley Cooper is taking a swing at Hollywood’s annual awards circus, calling it “utterly meaningless” and “completely devoid of artistic creation.” "In a series of candid comments inInterviewmagazine, theAmerican Sniperstar said that Hollywood awards season is dominated by ego and vanity, though he stopped short of condemning it altogether." . . .

Grenell rips journalists for not focusing on Kosovo, Serbia deal: ‘I don’t know if you can find it on a map’
"The Trump administration has just achieved another historic foreign policy victory, this time between Kosovo and Serbia. "Richard Grenell, an adviser and diplomat in the administration, was prepared to take questions from reporters at the White House, and instead of staying on topic, they veered into stupidity like gossip columnists. "Grenell had had enough and he tore into them. It was a thing of beauty "Former Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell ripped into journalists on Friday during a briefing on an economic deal between Kosovo and Serbia when reporters asked instead about other topics — suggesting the topic was “too complicated” for them. "I don’t know if you can find it on a map, but this is atrocious. I have to tell you guys,” Grenell said at a White House briefing. "Grenell, who served as special envoy for the talks, was speaking to journalists about the deal to normalize economic relations between the two former adversaries… Grenell shot back when a journalist asked him about a different topic instead.
“You might be too young to understand what this issue is about, maybe the older journalists should step up and say ‘this is a big deal, this is a big issue,’” he said. “I’m astounded at what happens in Washington, D.C., and especially in this room. It’s substantive, maybe it’s too complicated of an issue for you all.' "
It’s about time someone admonished the press in this way. They have become an absolute embarrassment to their profession. At least they used to try to hide their liberal bias.
The Federalist Biden may believe mouthing the words 'law and order' makes him strong, but his failure to call on elected officials in his own party to stop allowing murder and looting in the cities they run shows you how weak he is.
"Now that polls won’t let them ignore the rioting, looting, murder, and arson this summer in Democrat-run American cities, openly cheered onby leftists like the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times author Nikole Hannah-Jones, Democrats have made a hard pivot to — what else? — “Blame Trump.” "We saw the blame-shiftingbegin last weekwith House Speaker “Republicans are domestic enemies” Nancy Pelosi. Today, it came straight from Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden: . . . "Biden just made Democrats’ election subtext public. He said the quiet part loud: The chaos will continue until voters pick Democrats. "Democrats have been saying this implicitly ever since Trump won the election, of course. They have been the agents of chaos in the streets, in the administrative agencies, in the courts, and in the Congress. Democrats are the ones who said “impeach!” the second the ballots came out against them. They are the ones who used federal spy powers to subvert an American election before it happened, and then after. "They are the ones who have been urging an unlawful and immoral “resistance” to the policies voters chose in 2016, standing athwart the electorate yelling “Stop!” Refusing to carry out the orders of an elected president, telling the president he may not do precisely the same things his predecessor did, filing lawsuit after lawsuit after complaint after records request — Democrats have made their refusal to abide by the social compact that prevents war by using words, persuasion, and elections crystal clear. "When that didn’t work, they started breaking things and attacking innocent civilian bystanders. When Rep. Maxine Watersencouraged mob violenceagainst people for the crime of supporting Donald Trump, Joe Biden didn’t sternly warn her to stop. When the Democrat mayor of Washington DC didn’t provide enough police to keep historic monuments safe from fires and defacement, and elderly people and U.S. senators safe from mobs of politically motivated rioters, Joe Biden didn’t stand up and demand equal protection under the law for peaceful civilians to attend presidential speeches no matter their political beliefs. "When the openly socialist and Marxist Antifa and Black Lives Matter organizations took to the streets demanding that policestop protecting livesand propertyso they could loot, and when they set fire to police stations and blinded police with lasers for three months while Democrat mayors and governors refused federal assistance, Joe Biden didn’t tell them to stop. He invited socialists like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez todefine his policy platformin an effort to reach out to the extremist wing of his party and capture their support." . . . Full article.
"What do you think about the soul of Kamala Harris and others who were willing to destroy Judge Brett Kavanaugh with absolutely zero evidence?"
What about Obama's soul that he would use someone's dead child for
a self-aggrandizing photo-op?
Jack Hellner"Some reporter asked Biden how he feels about Trump's soul as if the latest story about Trump supposedly deriding U.S. troops were actually true from the Atlantic. Actually, it was an Atlantic reporter who asked. Match the picture here with this: "The Atlantic reporter's question was part of a litany of softball questions handed by the fawning press to the dotard at the top of the Democratic ticket:
. . . "If the Atlantic practiced actual journalism instead of public relations for the Democrats, there are all kinds of 'soul' questions he could have asked.
"How about: Joe, how do you feel about your soul when you continually lie about what Trump said in Charlottesville?
What about your's and Hillary's soul as you greatly enriched yourselves and your family with huge kickbacks from foreign parties while supposedly serving at the public trough?
What do you think of Bill and Hillary's soul as they sought to destroy the women that Bill and Hillary physically and mentally abused over decades?
What do you think about the souls of all the people willing to destroy Gem. Michael Flynn, President Trump and his family, Carter Page, and others with lies and investigations based on a fake dossier bought and paid for from a foreign spy by Hillary and the DNC? Do you believe people who lied to the FISA courts to get permission to spy have good souls?
What do you think about the soul of Kamala Harris and others who were willing to destroy Judge Brett Kavanaugh with absolutely zero evidence?
What do you think of President Obama's and Hillary Clinton's souls when they left Americans to die in Benghazi while they concocted a lie to blame a video?
"Isn't it soulless to lie to the families of those who died? Doesn't that show that the Obama administration cared more about power than having empathy?....
The nefarious purpose behind The Atlantic’s 'Trump and the military' hoax. . . "The article’s primary allegations are that Trump refused to visit a WWI cemetery because of his hair, said the Marines who died taking Belleau Wood were “suckers” and “losers,” and drew back in revulsion from troops who lost limbs.Every assertion is false. People with first-hand information who were willing to go on the record exposed how terriblyThe Atlantic lied about Trump." . . . . . . "If I had to bet, I’d say that The Atlantic always knew the report was a lie. I’d go even further and say that someone in Biden’s campaign asked The Atlantic to publish the story.
"The fact is that the truth was never important. All that was important was to get the story out there to help Biden hide the military-related uglies in his past."
...Or the soul of Hillary Clinton that she would lie about the cause of death for our nation's Benghazi victims?
Joe Biden struggled in an interview with Anderson Cooper, opting to read from a script.
CNN’s Cooper appears to cover for Biden, prompting him and refusing to ask real questions.
Biden called Trump “incompetent” even as he couldn’t finish a single thought.
Conservatives Post. . . . "Joe Biden finally got out of the basement to do an interview… from his living room. "In a friendly interview with CNN, he struggled to finish his thoughts. "Anderson Cooper decided to step in and help the ailing Biden, prompting him. "But it seemed like Biden had to revert to an obvious script: "Anderson Cooper had the pleasure of watching Joe Biden sputter out of control as he tried to slam Donald Trump. ""It was obvious that Biden was reading from some pre-written script, with talking points—trying to accuse Trump for all the COVID deaths in America. "(Apparently, the Democrat governors and mayors have no blame, nor does China—who let the disease loose.) " 'Cooper doesn’t even bother grilling the Democrat or try even ask him an original question. He just sits there, like a liberal lapdog, giving Biden time to figure out what he’s trying to say.
"The best part, though, is when Biden actually calls Trump “incompetent.” "Wow. This guy can’t even finish his own statements off a script, yet he calls the president incompetent. "I wonder if Joe was able to catch Trump’s 70-minute long speech from last night? "Will Biden be able to give that kind of speech in this election? Could he even stay up late enough to listen to all of Trump’s speech? "The Democrats are running on a platform that’s entirely anti-Trump. They slam Trump over COVID but haven’t provided a single alternative solution to the problem. "They blame Trump for the disease, even though it’s China who is to blame. "Democrats especially ignore the many mistakes they made at the state and city level, as in New York and California’s disasters. "Perhaps Biden is better off not attacking Trump. Each time he does, Joe looks the worse for it."
We protest to get our voices heard, we protest to show that not just Blacks are tired of what’s going on…” ‘They’ll shoot me!’ Joe Biden slammed for ‘sick’ joke in Kenosha after police shooting"Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has been slammed for insensitivity after he joked “they’ll shoot me” at a community event called to discuss the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. "Long before he hit the 2020 campaign trail, Biden had a reputation as a gaffe machine. His latest clanger, though, left pundits groaning. "Speaking at a community meeting in Kenosha on Thursday, Biden explained his tax plan to voters, promising not to raise rates for low- and middle-income Americans, and vowing to slap the country’s biggest corporations with tax hikes. Wrapping up his spiel on corporate tax, Biden quipped:“I’m not gonna lay it out for you. I won’t now because they’ll shoot me.” . . . "Ill-advised jokes weren’t the only snafus the former vice-president’s trip generated though. When an audience member took the stand to question the Democrat, she opened her statement by saying that she’d be going off a “script” she held in her hand. The soundbite fueled speculation that Biden’s team vetted audience members before the questions-and-answers session, and only approved scripted questions."
. . . "CNN’s Don Lemon called for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to stop ignoring the rioting in August, adding that Biden should suggest the incidents are due to Trump. “He’s [Biden] got to come out and talk about it. He’s got to do a speech like [former President] Barack Obama did about race,” Lemon said. “He’s got to come out and tell people that he is going to deal with the issue of police reform in this country.” “And that what’s happening now is happening under Donald Trump’s watch – on Donald Trump’s watch. And when he is the president, [Democratic California Sen.] Kamala Harris is the vice president, then they will take care of the problem. But guess what, the rioting has to stop.” . . . Lemon praised Biden for blaming Trump after the former vice president’s second statement, saying he put Trump “on his heels.” “We need to hear our leaders denouncing the violence in our streets,” Lemon said. “Denouncing it. We need to hear them tell us the truth that rioting divides instead of unites. But this president can’t say that. He cannot denounce the violence. He just cannot. He cannot admit that it divides instead of unites… Election Day is just 63 days away. He’s desperate and he desperately needs to change the subject.” "Other media personalities and Democrats have pushed the blame on Trump for riots, too." . . . The plan going forward now that this accusation has appeared in print will be to ignore the rebuttals; they never happened. Next will come the snide accusations about our troops being considered "losers" by this president, with his remarks about the McCain captivity being played many times with the help of Hollywood's resources.

A statement from the Atlantic that they "stand by their story" should appear in three...two... one...
The Political Insider"On Thursday night, President Donald Trump thoroughly denounced a story by The Atlantic that cited anonymous sources claiming he called America’s fallen soldier heroes “suckers” and “losers.” “ 'To think that I would make statements negative to our military and our fallen heroes … it is a disgraceful situation by a magazine that’s a terrible magazine,” Trump said. “I don’t read it, but I just heard about it.”
"Trump made his comments at Andrews Air Force Base after returning late Thursday from a campaign rally in Wisconsin.
"“It’s a total lie; it’s fake news. It’s a disgrace, and frankly its a disgrace to your profession,” Trump told reporters as he exited Air Force One.
"The Atlantic cited anonymous sources in a Thursday story who claimed that in 2018, Trump did not want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery at the site of Battle of Belleau Wood while in Paris because he was worried about his hair in the rain.
"The sources claimed Trump expressed that the cemetery was “filled with losers” and that the fallen soldiers were “suckers” for being killed.
“ 'They made it up and probably it’s a couple of people that have been failures in the administration that I got rid of and I couldn’t get rid of them fast enough,” the President said. “Or it was just made up, but it’s unthinkable.”
"Trump explained that his presence at the ceremony at the cemetery was canceled because of unsafe weather for flight. He added that a motorcade was out of the question because French police would have to shut down parts of Paris to make the trip happen." . . . Full article John Bolton’s Book Refutes Claims In Anonymously Sourced Atlantic Hit Piece Against Trump. . . "Meanwhile, the anonymous sources claiming President Trump disparaged fallen soldiers are under fire, being urged to come forward and put their names to their accusations, rather than hiding behind the Atlantic like cowards. “ 'The sources in the Atlantic story should go on the record, if they want people to believe them over Trump,” CBS News reporter Kathryn Watson tweeted. “Otherwise, the president’s supporters will largely disbelieve this story.” . . . More... Here's How We Know The Atlantic's Hit Piece on Trump Is Pure Fiction
. . . The media has largely reported on this story as though it were true or at least likely to be true.
. . . "Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump’s former press secretary, called The Atlantic story B.S. on Twitter, “I was actually there and one of the people [who were] part of the discussion – this never happened. I have sat in the room when our President called family members after their sons were killed in action and it was heart-wrenching,” she said. “These were some of the moments I witnessed the President show his heart and demonstrate how much he respects the selfless and courageous men and women of our military. I am disgusted by this false attack' .” . . .
. . . "While Trump’s supporters have countered many claims in Bolton’s memoir, it’s beyond dispute that, had Trump actually made the remarks alleged in The Atlantic‘s smear piece, Bolton would have had every incentive to include them in his description of the events.
"Documents released as the result of a FOIA request also debunked the allegation that weather wasn’t the true reason behind his canceled visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery." . . .
Joe Biden should apologize to President Trump for being so desperate as to rely on a debunked story based on anonymous sources to launch an attack.
"When the symbols start appearing. Everyday symbols, placed preposterously, mockingly, giving a scandal a name and associating it with the tangible, the popular. It's very effectively used in Latin America, where housewives in Chile started the practice, banging on pots and pans to protest the communist Allende-Castro puppet regime's signature socialist food shortages. Coat hangers for abortion supporters, underwear for Clinton protesters — when it happens, it's a popular movement that's taken off.
"And in this case, the instrument is blow dryers and curling irons, and the target is House speaker Nancy Pelosi, who turned up at an expensive San Francisco hair salon to get her hair done, not even wearing a mask, while everyone else had to stay home, and every salon had to legally remain shut, ostensibly out of fear of COVID, an old crisis that has since peaked. The unused blow dryers are now turning up in trees, as loony decorations, a tangible symbol to show that the public is outraged. And that's one heck of a memorable protest." . . .
Gov. Kristi Noem Extends Offer to Salon Owner Smeared by Pelosi. . . "Asked by Carlson if she thinks she'll stay in San Francisco, where she's been for 12 years, Kious said she doubts it. And it pains her because she thought this was her community. But ever since the Pelosi controversy, her Yelp page has been inundated with bad reviews, and she's received hateful threats, including one that warned her they'd burn her salon down.
"Gov. Kristi Noem, who watched Kious's interview, took sympathy on her situation and said that South Dakota would welcome her with open arms." . . .
"CNN's Brian Stelter went on CSPAN yesterday had no choice but to sit there in silence as almost all of the callers ROASTED him. WATCH Press Sec. embarrass reporter for ignoring the riots: . . ."
Nancy Pelosi is just too important to obey the rules. . . Yes, Nancy, regular people must wear masks at a salon these days — if they can find one open. "What a slap in the face to Americans across the country out of work because of lockdown rules. "As Kious told Fox News, “If she is in there comfortably without a mask and feeling safe, then why are we shut down?” "Clearly because Nancy Pelosi is too important to be bothered." . . .
Salon owner Erica Kious fights back tears as she denies setting up Nancy Pelosi. . . “ 'Of course, since I had no contact with Mrs. Pelosi or her team for any of this and Jonathan is the only one they communicated with, if there was a setup, it only could have been Jonathan who orchestrated it,” Kious continued.“ " 'In fact, not only did I not set her up, her assertion that she is a victim and set up is totally false and outrageous,” she added." . . .
"So, it would be disgusting enough to see her attack and attempt to destroy a struggling single mother's business, even if the economy were booming. But Pelosi is now doing just that amid a global pandemic and endless rioting that have destroyed more than 10 million jobs and countless businesses." . . .
. . . "Pelosi didn't just claim that salon owner Erica Kious, a single mother whose business has struggled under California's draconian lockdown, deliberately set her up, an implausible claim, since it's unclear how Kious could have made Pelosi not wear a mask. Now, Pelosi's daughter, Christine, has released a letter from a lawyer representing the independent stylist who gave Pelosi the blowout at Kious's facility, charging Kious with "furthering a set-up of Speaker Pelosi" by authorizing the appointment and then releasing the footage." . . .
