Ben Shapiro steps in to help conservative actress canceled by Disney for wrongthink -

 And liberals accuse President Trump of hate!

Ethel C. Fenig  "Lucasfilm dumped wrongthinking conservative actress Gina Carano from her starring role in their popular franchise The Mandalorian, allegedly because of a tweet showing a picture of a German soldier who failed to give the Nazi salute and analyzing how clever dictators "other" those they dislike.  This indicated that she approved of such Nazi tactics, according to Lucasfillm bigwigs' reasoning, which was also anti Jewish. 

"However, Lucasfilm, which is part of Disney, is an important member of the same entertainment industry whose members encourage the trivialization of the evil of Nazism in comparisons as long as the target is former president Donald J. Trump (R).  Then it is laudable. 

"For instance, Alec Baldwin continues to sully the easily sulliable Saturday Night Live despite or because of tweets such as the following: " . . .

. . . "But Carano's intent was the opposite, so — begone!  Enter Ben Shapiro, a Jew who is so comfortable in his Jewishness and Judaism that he decamped from liberal Hollywood to Nashville, where he recently announced:

Gina Carano To Produce And Star In Upcoming Film For The Daily Wire

"They can't cancel us if we don't let them."

"Yes, that Gina Carano." . . .

Gina Carano To Produce And Star In Upcoming Film For The Daily Wire | The Daily Wire


Gina Carano Counterpunches: She'll Produce and Star in New Project With The Daily Wire – PJ Media   "Gina Carano has a new gig 24 hours after being fired by Lucasfilm from the hit show The Mandalorian on Disney+. Luckily for Carano, conservative upstarts at The Daily Wire are making their first forays into the entertainment space. Their first feature film, Run, Hide, Fight from producer Dallas Sonnier was released in January and received an audience rating of 93% positive on Rotten Tomatoes, even though critics tried to torpedo it.

"While no details are available on the project, Carano seems more than pleased with the new opportunity:

The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams — to develop and produce my own film — come true. I cried out and my prayer was answered. I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them.”

"The new project is part of The Daily Wire’s partnership with Sonnier’s company Bonfire Legend. When he appeared on Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire interview show Sunday Special, Sonnier said he hopes to bring more movie production to Dallas, Texas, where his company is located. He is looking to bring fresh storylines to the screen that don’t conform to Hollywood’s preferred themes." . . .

Trump says Joe Biden 'lying' over Covid vaccine 'or mentally gone'

The Marxist Party Presidential Candidate 2020

 Daily Mail Online "Hear Mr. Trump on this Trumtweet: "Donald Trump has speculated that Joe Biden is either lying or 'mentally gone' after the president on Tuesday night said his administration arrived to find no COVID-19 vaccines available.

"Trump, who on Wednesday broke his silence to give a series of interviews marking the death of Rush Limbaugh, told Newsmax Biden made 'a very dumb statement' about the vaccines.

"The former president teased a possible 2024 run, boasting about his 'tremendous support', and said he would not be returning to Twitter - the platform from which he was banned last month." . . .

On schools, Kamala Harris does a perfect Irwin Corey imitation -

  American Thinker  "Americans need to get their kids back in school. Where there are powerful teachers’ unions, though, the teachers have discovered the joys of a bunny slipper commute, a minimal workday, and a full paycheck. When NBC’s Savannah Guthrie pressed Kamala Harris on the new administration’s plan to restart classroom learning, Harris replied with non-responsive, meaningless, double talk. Had she been auditioning for an Irwin Corey homage, it would have impressive. As it was, it showed both an administration and a vice president that are incompetent." . . .

. . . The Biden administration is changing its story on an almost daily basis when it comes to schools reopening. It’s so bad that even the Associated Press has taken notice:

President Joe Biden is in a political firestorm over how and when to get more schools open amid the coronavirus pandemic, with Republicans seizing on confusion surrounding Biden’s goal to reopen a majority of schools within his first 100 days to paint the president as beholden to teachers’ unions at the expense of American families.

His administration in recent weeks has sent muddled and at times contradictory messages about Biden’s goal. On Tuesday night, the president said his 100-day goal was to have most elementary schools open five days a week, seeming to conflict with his own press secretary, who had said last week that schools would be considered “open” if they held in-person classes even one day a week.

"On Wednesday, Kamala Harris appeared on NBC’s Today Show with Savannah Guthrie and succeeded in making things worse. That’s where Irwin Corey comes in. He was a comedian whose shtick was to pose as an expert who would then inundate people with a meaningless wall of words:" . . .

"Faced with Guthrie’s probing questions, Kamala spouted streams of pointless platitudes that would have made Irwin Corey proud.

"When Guthrie noted that the CDC has tied school openings to a county’s infection rate, creating a scenario in which 90% of schools cannot open, Kamala blathered about how everyone wants schools to open. Guthrie pressed on, trying to get a statement about the CDC guidelines, especially when contrasted with the CDC’s admission that schools are safe for both students and teachers. Kamala again produced a torrent of words about wanting schools to open." . . .

Creepy Kamala hovers over Joe Biden like the Grim Reaper -

 American Thinker

.  . . "What we're seeing isn't just a cautious administration prepping a vice president to step in should the need arrive.  Kamala's slowly being inserted into Joe's role.

"After all, as Joe himself said back in May 2020, he's a "transition candidate."  He also explained after his election that, should he and Kamala ever have a difference of agreement, he will leave office and hand it over to her:

Like I told Barack, if I reach something where there's a fundamental disagreement we have based on a moral principle, I'll develop some disease and say I have to resign.

"Joe understands that he's merely a placeholder.  He got to be sworn in, he gets to sign a lot of documents; he'll have "46th President of the United States" written in his epitaph, and soon he'll gently be eased out of the White House.

"In his place, we'll get a woman who began her career by sleeping her way to the middle, who abused her office as California attorney general, and who had so little charm that she didn't even make it to the first primary election.  Add to that the fact that she's famously leftist, and Americans should be nervous and humiliated that she may one day be the official face of the United States."

This statement has to please Joe's overseer: Biden: Former Military, Police Fueling 'Growth of White Supremacy' Groups   "President Joe Biden said during a CNN town hall on Tuesday that former military and former police officers were fueling the “growth of white supremacy.” . . .

Twitter Permanently Suspends Project Veritas, Locked James O’Keefe’s Account

 Legal Insurrection

O’Keefe: “Does Twitter consider reporting information the public has a right to know private information? This is quite the Rubicon we’re crossing if Twitter wants to ban this particular piece of information.”


Twitter kicked off Project Veritas from the platform for breaking its “private information policy.”

It also locked founder James O’Keefe out from his personal account.

It comes after Project Veritas posted a video of Facebook executives discussing censorship tools:

“We have a system that is able to freeze commenting on threads in cases where our systems are detecting that there may be a thread that has hate speech or violence, sort of in the comments,” Vice President of Integrity Guy Rosen can be seen explaining in the footage.

In a second video posted by Project Veritas, one of its staffers is seen confronting Rosen about his remarks outside his home as he returned from a jog.

“When you talk about freezing comments containing hate speech, what do you mean by that?” the Veritas staffer standing on the sidewalk asks Rosen as he enters his home. “How do you define ‘hate speech?’ Is it just speech that you hate?” he continues in the seconds-long interaction.

The numbers on the exec’s home address were visible in the clip, but the street name was not. License plates on surrounding cars are blurred.

O’Keefe spoke to TheWrap:

O’Keefe also said he’s confused by Twitter’s actions, considering the home address for Rosen isn’t visible in the video. “What I’m trying to understand is, what about what we did is quote ‘posting private information’?” O’Keefe said.

He added: “Reporters with microphones [and] cameras engage in reporting activities on the streets all the time in residential communities, so I’m trying to understand what Twitter considers violating their rules against posting private information. Does Twitter consider reporting information the public has a right to know private information? This is quite the Rubicon we’re crossing if Twitter wants to ban this particular piece of information.”

O’Keefe eventually removed the tweet, which allowed him to take over his Twitter account.

NYT: Was He Innocent? ANSWER: No. -

Yes, “later” in the sense of “20 years later.” For two decades, Alley never denied he’d murdered Collins. He only recalled that his confession was “coerced” in 2004, when he was trying to delay the hangman’s noose.

  Ann Coulter  "Here is this week’s installment of “The New York Times is ALWAYS lying about criminals (and probably everything else).”

"The Times desperately wants you to believe that there are actual cases of innocent people being put to death in America. Their current poster boy for the cause is Sedley Alley, executed in 2006. But the Criminal Lobby is hoping a post-mortem DNA test — on evidence that has nothing to do with his guilt or innocence — will allow them to howl that an INNOCENT man was executed!" . . .

. . . "Seventy-five years and counting with no credible evidence that a single innocent person has been put to death in America."

"I knew nothing about this case, but I knew the Times’ description of the facts was a lie. How did I know?

"1) No jury would have convicted a man, much less sentenced him to death, much less had that sentence repeatedly upheld, on such a flimsy record; and

"2) There is no credible evidence that a single innocent person has been put to death in this country for at least 75 years.

"Here are the facts the about the Criminal Lobby’s latest baby seal." . . .

Dimming the IQ of America

Intellectual Takeout


"Americans and Europeans are getting dumber.

"At least that’s the conclusion David Solway reaches in his piece “The Decline of Intelligence in the West.”

" 'In the last century various studies have shown the average IQ in Western countries dropping by about14 percent, Solway reports. He points readers to these investigations and offers a score of examples illustrating this decline, ranging from video interviews of college students who know next to nothing about the history of our country to leaders who say “corpsemen” instead of “corpsmen” when referring to combat medics.

"Solway then looks for reasons behind this decline. Why in our new age of technology and advanced science are we losing our capacity to think and reason?" . . .

World leaders wonder who is running America's foreign policy

"And there are plenty more of these mixed signals, all of which make world leaders, friendly and unfriendly, wonder who the heck is running things - Omar, Kamala, Biden, or the swamp? All in all, this isn't the 'America's back' approach that Biden promised."

"Image by Barry Soetoro" He said that.

Monica Showalter  "With Kamala Harris taking calls from foreign leaders now, less than one month into the Joe Biden presidency, and Joe's spokesweasel Jen Psaki saying Joe won't be taking foreign visitors, it's pretty obvious foreign leaders are wondering: Who the heck is running America? Why can't Joe come to the phone? Is the Biden "transitional" presidency really a "regency"?

The signs of it are all over. Here's a list of how bad it is, starting with America's allies:

Israel: After Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu gave Biden an early congratulatory call over the phone for his "victory," the locals are now wondering if the Biden administration is "ghosting" them. Three weeks into his term, he's called practically everyone but Israel. No calls to Bibi. Israel's foreign policy establishment is ready to call it a "full blown snub." And with open anti-Semites like Rep. Ilhan "all about the benjamins" Omar now promoted by Joe's Democrats to a top spot at the House committee on foreign affairs, there's reason to think there's something nasty going on. They are indeed wondering who's running the show.  

Taiwan: Taiwan's leader, too, gave Biden an early congratulatory call, and within days got a Chinese communist incursion into their airspace. Biden threw out some tough words, but apparently nothing else, and obviously, the Taiwanese are concerned, even as they cross their fingers. According to Wang Hao, a Taiwanese local commentator quoted by NPR: "  . . . 

. . . "Ukraine: Biden doesn't want to touch this one, and Ukraine's leaders are antsy: According to The National Interest:

For weeks now, Ukraine: Biden doesn't want to touch this one, and Ukraine's leaders are antsy: According to The National Interest:

For weeks now, Zelenskyy has sent numerous private and public messages; call me! He desperately wants a phone call with the new president.

"Of course, he isn't getting one, given young Hunter's ties with Burisma and the criminal probe presumably still happening around it." . . .

Biden warns China will 'eat our lunch' on infrastructure spending

Yahoo!

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

"US President Joe Biden has warned that China will “eat our lunch” if America doesn’t “step up” its infrastructure spending.
Mr Biden was speaking on Thursday with a group of senators about the need to upgrade infrastructure in the US.
"His warning comes the day after his first phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. 
"On the call, Mr Xi took a hard line on human rights saying a confrontation would be a disaster for both countries.
"Mr Biden made the comments after meeting with members of the Environment and Public Works committee.
"“If we don’t get moving, they are going to eat our lunch,” President Biden told senators.
"“They’re investing billions of dollars dealing with a whole range of issues that relate to transportation, the environment and a whole range of other things. We just have to step up.”
"During the campaign, Mr Biden proposed spending $2tn (£1.45tn) over four years to create jobs and invest in clean energy infrastructure.
"A widely cited American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) “report card” from 2017 gave the country’s infrastructure a grade of “D+”." . . .

VP Harris Making Biden Presidential Calls; However...

Newsmax.com  "Critics of President Joe Biden took aim at him as a mere placeholder to get President Donald Trump out of the White House – a self-described "transition candidate."

Now, some will see reinforcement of that notion as the commander in waiting, Vice President Kamala Harris, is taking charge of a key presidential task.

"Harris has taken on the customary presidential role of calling heads of state, The Epoch Times reported Tuesday.

"Harris spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday, according to a White House readout that did not mention President Biden, per the report.

"Although Biden, 78, did speak with Macron on Jan. 24, it is rare for a president to step aside for vice presidents to make the calls with world leaders.

"Vice President Kamala Harris has begun to take calls on behalf of President Joe Biden, raising questions about his ability to do the job of president," The National Pulse reported. "It is bizarre for a vice president to be making contact with key world leaders just weeks into a new administration." . . .

Grenell: Susan Rice, Not Biden or Harris, Calling Shots in White House  "Susan Rice, the former national security adviser to President Barack Obama and the current director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, is the real leader in the Oval Office according to former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.

" 'Look, I’ve said it before but I think it’s worth repeating ... she’s been given a portfolio as to domestic policy. We all know that that’s a joke," Grenell told Maria Bartiromo. . . ."

REPORT: Petition Calls Romney ‘Agent For The Establishment Deep State,’ Demands Censure

"The petition is being circulated by Utah Republicans, primarily via social media, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. The document refers to Romney as an “agent for the Establishment Deep State.”

"Romney “misrepresented himself as a Republican” and “prioritized his personal and political vendetta against President Donald J.
