The Importance of Remembering The World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument serves as one of the most complete collections of Pearl Harbor information and artifacts and is a major draw for tourism. For every visitor who walks through the exhibits, stands over the sunken wreckage of the USS Arizona, and hears of the trials and tribulations of that Sunday morning, the story of Pearl Harbor is bound to be passed down and survive the test of time. Hopefully, at some point that knowledge will prevent a similar event from occurring.

You Heard it Here First: The Old CNN Is Dead
This is fine, but what about MSNBC's Joy Reid, Ali Velshi, Nicolle Wallace and all others there?
. . ."The cause of death is not the forced departure of Chris Cuomo or Rachel Maddow’s act becoming so old she is moving to a weekly show. Nor is it that CNN’s jaundiced journalists conspired to be completely wrong about Kyle Rittenhouse, the false Russia collusion claim, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Jessie Smollett, Border Patrol whippings, and countless other “important” news stories. The reason is good old-fashioned free-market economics combined with Americans’ limited tolerance of CNN’s ultra-liberal BS (Bovine Secretions).
"Two decades ago, CNN was the news juggernaut. But since then, its viewership dropped faster than Joe Biden’s approval ratings. Media mogul John Malone just bought the sinking news ship in a fire sale and he will waste no time in cutting out the cancerous cause for CNN’s liberal-laced decline.
"To understand why Malone must drastically reshape CNN, you must understand who really decides what you watch on a news program. When watching CNN, MSNBC, or the three major entertainment networks, it is easy to blame the news anchor for the seriously slanted left-leaning coverage.
"Today’s talking heads, though, are not the main cause of the problem. They just blindly read whatever the show producers dump into their teleprompters. " . . .

Cuomo vs CNN: let the games begin
Fired CNN Host Chris Cuomo Proceeds to Spill the Tea as War of Words Escalates . . ."But regardless of whether or not Cuomo is telling the truth about what Zucker knew, one thing that is satisfying beyond Cuomo getting his just deserts is the fact that they are both burning themselves and each other to the ground as we speak. A rather fitting position to be in for the disgraced former anchor and the network that most definitely is not a real news organization, despite their claims to the contrary."
Lawyer: Chris Cuomo accuser was disgusted by 'hypocrisy' "A woman who lodged a sexual harassment allegation against former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was “disgusted” by what she saw as his hypocrisy and attempts to discredit women who made similar allegations against his brother, her lawyer said Sunday." . . .
The Media Inverts Reality in the Kenosha and Waukesha Cases
Isaiah 5:20...Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who [a]substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who [b]substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
MAGA News "I hereby nominate America’s left-wing regime media for the 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics.
"These far-left activists, masquerading as objective journalists, successfully inverted reality by 180 degrees. They turned a non-racist white teenager into a white supremacist and rendered a black bigot completely invisible.
"The original details that Americans heard about Kyle Rittenhouse were screamed loudly and swiftly, soon after he shot three men who chased and attacked him in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020. Rittenhouse killed two and injured one. This case’s “facts” bounced around and echoed each other, like subatomic particles in a media-powered linear accelerator.
•MSNBC’s John Heilemann described Rittenhouse as follows: “A white, MAGA-loving Blue Lives Matter social-media partisan, 17 years old, picks up a gun, drives from one state to another with the intent to shoot people.”
•MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called Rittenhouse an “active shooter” and “a 17-year-old kid just running around shooting and killing protesters … who drove across state lines with an AR-15 and started shooting people up.” During Rittenhouse’s trial, the Morning Joe co-host called Rittenhouse a “self-appointed militia member … unloading 60 rounds.”
• The Independent reported that Rittenhouse shot “three Black men.” . . .
Before Rittenhouse There Were Roof Koreans: How Civilians Defended Koreatown from Racist Violence During the 1992 LA Riots
. . ."The Roof Koreans were spontaneous self-defense forces organized by the Korean community of Los Angeles, primarily centered in Koreatown, in response to violent and frequently racist attacks on their communities and businesses by primarily black looters and rioters during the Los Angeles Riots of 1992. Despite their best efforts, over 2,200 Korean-owned businesses were looted or burned to the ground during the riots. It is chilling to imagine how many would have suffered the same fate had the Koreans not been armed.
"Standing on the rooftops of Koreatown shops they and their families owned, clad not in body armor or tactical gear, but instead dressed like someone’s nerdy dad, often smoking cigarettes, but always on alert, the Roof Koreans provide a stirring example of how free Americans of all races can defend their own communities without relying upon outside help.
The Koreans of Los Angeles were the ultimate marginalized minority group. They were subject to discrimination and often victimized by the black community of the city. Due to language barriers and other factors, they lacked the political clout of other minority groups, such as the large Mexican community of Los Angeles County. This in spite of their clear economic success in the city beginning in the 1970s and 80s." . . .
Would today's press have treated the Koreans as they did Rittenhouse? Joy Reid of MSNBC would be apoplectic, I'd say.
The Most Disgusting, Obsessive Take on Bob Dole's Death Goes Forth
RedState . . ."Now, for those of us who are sane, we have no desire to inject modern political disagreements into the death of a war hero and incredible public servant. Clearly, Bob Dole is not a man at all defined by anything that’s happened in Washington over the last half-decade.
"But then there’s Mehdi Hasan, who is neither sane nor has the self-control to hide that fact. The far-left MSNBC host and former Qatari mouthpiece just couldn’t help himself. Today, he put out the following tweet, which, as of now at least, is the most disgusting take on Dole’s passing I’ve seen." . . .
Bob Dole, who endorsed and voted for Trump twice, and called himself a 'Trumper' as recently as July, has passed away. https://t.co/ez5ZsMmXTx
— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) December 5, 2021
Trump supporters & rightwingers seem to think it is somehow a disrespectful attack by me on the late Bob Dole to point out he was a Trump supporter. That’s kind of a revealing self own.
Btw here’s their hero Trump after another Republican war veteran died:Joe DiGenova predicts big shakeup at CNN as 'robber baron' major shareholder of new owner won't hesitate to build 'good journalism'
Will CNN then be worthy of anyone's trust?
Thomas Lifson . . ."I don't have any inside knowledge of Malone, nothing like what a player like Joe DiGenova might have. But I do see an opportunity for CNN to add hugely to its shareholder value by aggressively seeking the center, rather than being just another Democrat propaganda outlet — one less popular than MSNBC. If the new entity formed to run the former Warner and Discovery media properties heeds Malone's strategy — as DiGenova believes they will — it could signal sea change in American media. The so-called "mainstream" media have functioned to completely block conservative opinions, relegating them to a ghetto that can be dismissed by the majority of Americans who do not read conservative websites or watch Fox News, much less Newsmax or OANN. If CNN, which is a constituent part of the MSM, starts presenting both sides, it would legitimize stories like the Hunter Biden laptop that the media otherwise is able to suppress. It could, in other words, tear down the wall surrounding the conservative ghetto. In essence, a giant red pill would be dissolved in the water supply of the MSM-heeding public.". . .
. . ."CNN was a major contributor in spreading the Russian collusion lies. There was no Woodward or Bernstein reporting and investigating these lies. The media were too busy participating as they campaigned for the thoroughly corrupt Hillary." . . .
If true, say goodbye to the fun with CNN. Like this: CNN Reports On 'Deadly Boat Accident' At Pearl Harbor
. . ." 'We do not need to investigate this any further, or talk about it ever again, as it was an accident," said the local Police Chief in a press conference. "Any talk of motive is unhelpful at this time. I think what's really important is allowing our Pearl Harbor community to heal.' " . . .
Oh...and then this from Russia Today: CNN insists ‘a car’ killed six people at Wisconsin Christmas parade;
Amid outrage from conservatives, the Washington Post last week deleted a tweet calling the incident a “tragedy caused by a SUV,” but CNN is standing its ground. In a tweet on a memorial event in Waukesha on Sunday, the liberal network said the city was “marking one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade.”
Now, about Donald Trump holding his coffee cup with two hands..

Levin shreds ‘sick’ propaganda by Joy Reid, ‘Constipated News Network’ and ‘gossips’ at ‘The View’
“The greatest threat we face in this country right now is the American media and the Democrat Party who are at war with our culture and our society and constitutional system.”
BPR "Lawyer, author, and “The Mark Levin Show” host Mark Levin had some strong words for MSNBC and CNN, and in particular MSNBC host Joy Reid.
"Levin’s comments weren’t on his own show, however. On Monday, as a guest of Fox News‘ Sean Hannity on his show, “Hannity,” Levin took the opportunity to thunder against much of the media for the way it has handled the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse was recently acquitted of murder and other charges when his lawyers made a successful case for self-defense.
"Levin’s first targets appeared when Hannity played a clip of ABC’s “The View.” Levin immediately blasted the hosts, saying “First of all, why do we care what they say on The View? They have a collective IQ of negative 17. They’re like a bunch of [gossips].”
"Levin went on to say that we are experiencing a breakdown of law and order and that this breakdown has “been institutionalized by the Democrat Party and their media. It’s been institutionalized by them. And the media is so racist now. We don’t have a free press. We have a tyrannical press.”
"As he worked himself up in his denouncements, Levin also had some strong names to hurl at MSNBC and CNN, calling them “MSLSD [presumably a take on the hallucinogenic drug LSD] or CNN, what I call the Constipated News Network.' ”. . .

On the Oxford High shooter
The Oxford High School tragedy and the free fall of morality
After all, isn’t “equity” the new buzz word? Equal outcomes! But what good is equality if we are all equally rotten? It is simply immoral groupthink on steroids that we are being prodded into accepting as the norm.
Typical comment over at WaPo: "There are violent or depressed kids everywhere in the world. Lots of them play violent video games. Only in America are they allowed to act on their fantasies, because they have such an easy access to guns. Ban the guns, stop the massacres."
'I'm not going to get into specifics, but I think where they were and how they were, seems to support the position they were hiding and they weren't looking for surrendering at that point,' he said. 'Given that they were hiding in a warehouse in Detroit, it certainly raises my eyebrows.'
. . ."Both Crumbleys pleaded not guilty to all four charges of involuntary manslaughter - one for each Oxford High School student who was killed Tuesday. Each count is punishable by up to 15 years in prison along with a $7,500 fine and mandatory DNA testing.

‘Too-da-loo, Fredo’: Chris Cuomo And CNN Slammed After Network Fires Host Following Scandal . . ."Former CNN host Chris Cuomo, who was fired on Saturday night, was mocked online, and his former employer was slammed for a variety of reasons following the announcement." Among the comments in this post:
Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist: “So whatever Chris Cuomo did, it was worse than peddling Russia collusion lies like @jaketapper does, and worse than @JeffreyToobin’s at-work self-pleasuring. Because they’ve both kept their CNN jobs.”
Chris Cuomo Releases Statement Responding To CNN Firing Him
Cuomo's termination comes after CNN 'retained a respected law firm' to review the case
According to some estimates, Cuomo had an annual salary of $6million.
His 9pm show, Cuomo Prime Time, was CNN's highest rated broadcast. It drew an average of 774,000 viewers during November, when it ranked No. 25 among all cable TV news programs - right behind Anderson Cooper's show.
However, the network saw a 19 percent bump after Cuomo was suspended Tuesday and Cooper filled in. The network has not indicated who will be his permanent replacement.
Cuomo's shocking downfall came less than a week after the New York Attorney General's Office released transcripts and exhibits on Monday, showing that the TV host had played a more intimate role in his older brother's political affairs than initially thought by the network and the public.
