CNN Falls Out Of Top 10 Cable Networks As Barack Obama Special Flops

 USAANews  "CNN’s hour-long interview with former President Barack Obama last Monday night pumped much-needed life into the network’s flagging ratings — but he still drew only half as many viewers as Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s average show.

"Tucker Carlson also trounced Obama among young viewers between the ages of 25 and 54.

"While the Obama interview earned approximately 500,000 extra viewers for “Anderson Cooper 360” one night this week, only 1.4 million people watched the show. The same night, Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” won 2.97 million viewers.

"Carlson beat Obama among those in in the coveted 25-54 demographic, winning 506,000 younger viewers, compared with 279,00 for Obama’s interview. CNN had previously denounced Fox News’ “core audience” as “old, white conservatives” attracted to FNC’s “archaic, Mad Men-era view of the world.”

"Obama sat down for a one-hour interview with Anderson Cooper, where he said Americans who rejected his anti-police rhetoric suffered from “deep” and “unconscious” racial bias.

"Carlson spent much of the week featuring the emotional testimony of parents at school board meetings nationwide, opposing the teaching of critical theory in the nation’s elementary schools. Meanwhile, Obama snarked, “lo and behold, the single most important issue to [Republicans] currently, right now, is critical race theory. Who knew that that was the threat to our republic?”

"He also said he never expected President Donald Trump to be so successful in imposing his conservative agenda, because “I thought that there were enough guardrails institutionally that, even after Trump was elected that you would have the so-called Republican Establishment” oppose him from within.

"And Obama lamented the availability of a broad and diverse range of views in the media. “You don’t have just Walter Cronkite delivering the news, but you have 1,000 different venues. All that has contributed to that sense that we don’t have anything in common,” he said." . . .

MSNBC Now Openly Lobbying To Pack The Supreme Court

How Corrupt Is MSNBC? The Network Now OPENLY Lobbying to Pack the Supreme Court   "When he's not guest hosting MSNBC's The Cross Connection, Jason Johnson is a politics and journalism professor at Morgan State University, which does not inspire confidence in the next generation of journalists as he warned on Saturday of

"catastrophic implications" of the Supreme Court's 6-3 conservative balance and condemned Sen. Mitch McConnell for not allowing President Biden to pack the Court.

"Johnson's monologue was the result of a question from a viewer wondering what "we" have to do to make the Court more "fair and balanced" and representative of the "diverse country in which we live."  Hat tip to Weasel Zippers

"Appalling to Watch": Australian Media Tears American Media Apart Over Its Fawning Over Biden

 RedState   "American media is so infected with leftism that it’s ideologically slanted to the point of tipping over and it’s highly possible that the media doesn’t even know it. It doesn’t have the ability to look at itself critically, and we get very real moments where the media asks Democrats what it can do to better help them along while on air.

"The media in other countries can see it, though, and Australia’s, in particular, can’t help but dedicate a segment to it.

"On a segment during Sky News’s Kenny on Media, Australian anchors and commentators took aim at the American media for its simpering and fawning over Joe Biden during the G7 summit while the same media bashed President Donald Trump in 2018 against all reason.

 . . . "But the anti-Trump narrative was born from a hardcore adherence to leftist politics, and CNN continued to cling to Democrats, more or less becoming a propaganda arm instead of a news network.

"Sadly, this kind of obedience to Democrats is seen throughout the media in varying ways with few exceptions, including OANN, Newsmax, and Fox News. The problem of bias is so obvious and loud that across the sea, people are taking notice and laughing about it." . . .

The Most Terrifying Media Statement Ever: 'The Biden Administration Is On The Case' -

Shortages Cripple Certain Industries And Food Is Getting More Expensive Than Families Can Afford 

 All News

"Media gurus continue to insist the recent reporting of a 5%  inflation spike is because of the pandemic, when in reality there are a number of factors from weather events to supply chain issues, and are also pushing the claim that it should balance itself our in "the near future."

"Then again, the media first denied the pandemic as Independent Media warned what was coming, and called us "conspiracy theorists."

"The media then insisted there would be no food or other shortages and when signs started popping up in grocery stores showing "limit purchase to (insert number here), the media reported it months after Independent Media warned it was coming, and the MSM also acted like they were reporting "current news."

"The point here, is the media claims and assurances, mean absolutely nothing, as they are one of the top reasons their audience needed to panic shop in the first place because they were woefully unprepared, which in turn caused a run on toilet paper, other paper products, cleaning supplies and foods, especially meats." . . .

Voting Rights: It's 'Racist' Not to Let Democrats Cheat

So it's kind of important for Republicans to kill these bills in the crib. It shouldn't be hard. All they have to do is tell people what's in them.

Dianny Image Vault

 Ann Coulter  "Why aren't Republicans screaming from the rooftops about the Democrats' plans to change voting rules to give themselves an advantage?

"Their sleazy election bills, HR 1, the "For the People Act," and HR 4, the "John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act," are intended to help Democrats win majorities in both houses of Congress, at which point they will ignore Republicans entirely, end the filibuster, and pass everything in AOC's Dream Journal -- amnesty, gun control, a wealth tax, and a rainbows and unicorns energy bill.

"So it's kind of important for Republicans to kill these bills in the crib. It shouldn't be hard. All they have to do is tell people what's in them.

. . . "Currently, Manchin opposes the For the People bill, but supports the even more execrable John Lewis bill. Both will completely rewrite state election laws to favor Democrats, but at least For the People will be done by Congress. The John Lewis bill will give unelected bureaucrats at the Justice Department vast power to impose voting rules on the states. Based on previous such exercises of unaccountable power, 10-year-olds will soon have the right to vote. (See Title IX.)" . . .

Why do Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell still have security clearances?

From the President, Vice President, on down to congressmembers, the Democrats seem to value the least qualified, most embarrassing people. TD

 

 Monica Showalter . . .

. . . Strzok also suggested in a message on March 23, 2017, that Democrats on the Gang of Eight were sources for a CNN story about the Russia probe. CNN reported that same morning that U.S. officials said the FBI had information that Trump associates may have communicated with Russian operatives to coordinate the release of information damaging to the Hillary Clinton campaign.

"This, given Strzok's animosity to Trump in his other text messages, suggests that leaking was exactly what was going on.  Schiff, and Rep. Eric Swalwell, ran a professional leak operation for their own aggrandizement that both Trump and his enemies could see.

"Such a bipartisan consensus on the leaks raises the question: why do this pair still have security clearances at all?

The most sensitive of America's secrets are divulged to the House Intelligence Committee based on its oversight role.  Hideous leftists have occasionally sat on that panel — think Berkeley congressman Rep. Ron Dellums — but they've always been able to keep secrets.  Dellums was respected on that front by all sides, bad as his politics was.

"But not this pair.  And Swalwell has been additionally compromised by his "swallow," an apparent Chinese spy named Fang Fang, or "Christine Fang," which is an absolute no-no.  People get rejected from employment at intelligence or military agencies all the time for lesser stuff seen as compromising.  Swalwell, though, is still on the intel board for that, and so is the leaky Schiff.  Unpunished, they will continue leaking like a sieve, and even the Trump-hostile intelligence elements know it.

"Why again do they have security clearances?  An ordinary person wouldn't have them after the kinds of things they've done.  To get a clearance, one must be honest and trustworthy.  This pair has repeatedly violated that trust, and the two certainly aren't honest." . . .

South Dakota rocked again as a wind turbine plant shuts its doors

"John F. Kerry, the special presidential envoy for climate, said only months ago that those losing fossil fuel jobs in coal and hydraulic fracturing will find they have a better choice of jobs in either the solar industry or as wind turbine technicians.

"That was then. Now, a wind blade manufacturing plant located in Aberdeen, South Dakota, has announced it is shutting its doors permanently in less than two months.

Obama’s Revealing Resentments

The ObaGlare

The American Spectator   Go to Article  "Speaking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper recently, Barack Obama scoffed at the backlash to critical race theory. In his view, it is the backlash, not the theory, that is extreme. In the interview, Obama assumed the posture of the dispassionate moderate, carefully dissecting the irrationality of his opponents. He affected great perplexity at their resistance to a “changing America.”

"  'We have to worry when one of our major political parties is willing to embrace a way of thinking about our democracy that would be unrecognizable and unacceptable even five years ago or a decade ago,” he said. Never mind that his whole political philosophy entails a
rejection of America’s original principles. His clamoring for a fundamentally transformed America is nothing more than a project to replace the political order of the Founding Fathers with a new and dysfunctional one, based on liberal imperatives more akin to the French Revolution than the American Revolution.

Obama sees any resistance to liberal race policies as evidence of racism.

"It is for this reason that Obama embraces the rank anti-Americanism of critical race theory. It is toxic propaganda designed to turn Americans against their own country and lay the groundwork for a new political system rooted in leftism. Obama can pontificate about assaults on democracy while celebrating a theory that portrays America’s democracy as a byproduct of racism. He can talk about Republicans as un-American even as he excuses athletes who boycott the flag." . . .

Harris Sings a Different Tune on Immigration During Central America Trip: ‘Do Not Come’

Joe Chose Poorly (Below)

The American Spectator

The vice president’s efforts at damage control follow record numbers of illegal immigrants.

"Vice President Kamala Harris, who is leading the Biden administration’s response to immigration from Central America, embarked on a two-day trip to Mexico and Guatemala Sunday. Harris stressed that the purpose of her trip was to focus on the “root causes of migration.” During her diplomatic travel, Harris pivoted her public approach to illegal immigration.

"During a news conference on Monday with Guatemalan president Alejandro Giammattei, Harris said, “I want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home.” To those who make the trek to the southern border, Harris said, “Do not come. Do not come.” 

"She also claimed that the Biden administration would “continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders.” 

"The vice president’s comments starkly contrasted with her previous stance on immigration. In response to the Trump administration’s immigration policies, she tweeted in 2017, “An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal,” as well as stating, “Say it loud, say it clear, everyone is welcome here” with the #NoBanNoWall hashtag." . . .

Joe Chose Poorly  . . . "In the aftermath of her awful trip to Guatemala and Mexico, CNN (of all places) reported that some people in the White House are “perplexed” over Kamala’s complete inability to answer some pretty straightforward and totally predicable questions. CNN’s John Harwood reported that Biden officials “were not thrilled” by Kamala’s clunky and defensive responses to the question of whether she will ever visit the border.

"Keep in mind, the Biden Administration people are Obama people. And nothing matters more to them than optics. And the optics of Kamala’s trip were flat-out bad.

"In addition to the uncomfortable exchange with Lester Holt that I mentioned the other day, Kamala had an equally awful moment in an interview with Univision yesterday.

"It’s a brief clip, but you’ll see what I mean:

Is Jill Biden staging a little coup?

Andrea Widburg  . . . "In six months, he’s dismantled America’s security, economy, and sanity. Meanwhile, Kamala has failed at the one thing for which she was responsible: Bringing control to the border. Now, some are wondering if that failure was orchestrated in the White House and if Mrs. Jill Biden was responsible." . . .

. . . "Really, just hear me out. We know that Jill Biden is nakedly ambitious at a level we haven’t seen since Hillary Clinton, whose presidential run we are all familiar with. She drug her husband through a deeply uncomfortable 2020 presidential campaign that he was clearly not physically and mentally up for. As president, things have only gotten worse for Joe Biden, yet Jill Biden’s ambition has hardly slowed down. Rather, she’s seemingly put herself ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris when it comes to assignments and publicity.

"That leads me to the next aspect of this – Jill Biden hates Kamala Harris." . . .
