UPDATED: CNN President Jeff Zucker Suddenly Resigns Over Undisclosed Romantic Relationship

 What if CNN turns into a real news source? What's the fun in that?

It goes without saying that the change of leadership could have a major impact on the future of CNN.

Former President Donald Trump made Zucker’s CNN the foil for his campaign and time in the White House, and the network has lately been struggling significantly with ratings.

It is unclear who the new CNN president will be, but it will be fascinating to see if they shift the direction of the network.

. . .Zucker made a long-list of enemies over the years at CNN, most notable of whom is Donald Trump.  

Trump celebrated his resignation on Wednesday, saying in an emailed statement: 'Jeff Zucker, a world-class sleazebag who has headed ratings and real-news-challenged CNN for far too long, has been terminated for numerous reasons, but predominantly because CNN has lost its way with viewers and everybody else. 

'Now is a chance to put Fake News in the backseat because there may not be anything more important than straightening out the horrendous LameStream Media in our Country, and in the case of CNN, throughout the World. Jeff Zucker is gone—congratulations to all!' he said.

If there is any reason that viewers’ trust in the media in general and CNN, in particular, has tanked, it’s the fact that Zucker designed the network to be an opinionated network that was supposed to attract partisan consumers. It failed miserably, primarily because the personalities he chose were just diet versions of what was already offered at MSNBC. People who wanted those kinds of opinions already had a place to get them. They weren’t going to go with Lemon, who is just Rachel Maddow Lite.

The Left Doesn’t Just Want More Criminals On The Streets. It Also Wants Police To Be Scared Of Doing Their Jobs

 The Federalist

"The left is keen on letting criminals, even those who ransacked the nation’s cities in 2020, off the hook in the name of social justice. Now, that same left is trying to deter law enforcement from doing their jobs by denying officers who fought off violent 2020 rioters legal representation while U.S. attorneys lobby to let agitators off scot-free.

"At least one federal employee who sought legal representation from President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice after being sued for protecting the federal courthouse during the 2020 summer-of-rage riots was denied by the legal agency. After Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., threatened to stall any Biden administration DOJ nominees due to the agency’s unwillingness to represent a federal agent for doing his or her duties and defending government property from rioters, the DOJ admitted that’s exactly what it had done but did not apologize.

“ 'These courageous officers were attacked by left-wing street militants with weapons such as mortar fire, ball bearings, and blinding lasers,” Cotton wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. “A refusal to represent these Deputy Marshals would violate the Department’s long-standing practice — not to mention its moral duty — to defend law-enforcement officers when they’re sued for actions in the line of duty.'”. . .

"This cowardly ambush was followed by bystanders celebrating and cheering that the deputies had been shot, and that followed at the hospital -- the sanctity, the quiet sanctity of the hospital -- with protesters cheering and chanting for the deputies to die,'' Villanueva said. "These acts and that day, I will not forget it, and it represents the worst in humanity and it shocked the whole nation. And that evening, I said we will find this man. And I can report today, we have found our suspect.''

Anti-Asian Hate Leaves Asian-American Seniors at Risk of Hunger -

Maxine Waters and Al Sharpton, please help put a stop to this!

 Bloomberg

Even a short trip to the grocery store or visiting a local center with hot-meal services can mean racist harassment – or worse.

"Asian-American seniors like Derek Tang, a 68-year-old refugee from Cambodia, typically go to Homecrest Community Services in Brooklyn to socialize, have lunch and maybe play mahjong. But now Homecrest is also offering safety webinars and distributing panic alarms so Tang and other patrons can feel more secure stepping out of their homes.

"Tang hasn’t been employed since suffering a heart attack in 2006. His wife was working in an Asian grocery store, but the shop closed during the pandemic. That makes the meals served by Homecrest a vital lifeline. So he still needs to get himself there, despite concerns about safety. One member of the center, an 89-year-old Chinese-American woman, was lit on fire near her home in Brooklyn in the summer of 2020. Tang, a genocide survivor, took Homecrest’s online class and studied pamphlets. He’s vigilant when he leaves home.

“ 'Always be careful,” Tang said.

" 'A surge in anti-Asian hate crime across the U.S. has made the most vulnerable in the community, especially seniors, more afraid to leave their homes. For the low income, that can translate to worsening hunger. Adults in Asian households were twice as likely to report not having enough to eat because of fear of going out than their White counterparts, a government analysis showed last year.

" 'Even a trip to the grocery store or visiting a local center with a hot-meal service can mean racist harassment — or worse.". . .

Whoopi Goldberg reveals herself as an antisemitic ignoramus

 Andrea Widburg; American Thinker   "Whoopi Goldberg (born Caryn Johnson and most decidedly not Jewish), de-Judaized the Holocaust, a strikingly antisemitic act.  After a deserved uproar, she apologized, but that's not good enough.  Just as Sharon Osborne and Roseanne Barr got fired for offending racial shibboleths, Goldberg needs to go.

"Goldberg, a staple on The View, a show in which several inane left-wing women loudly opine about the issues of the day, dismissed the Holocaust as a uniquely Jewish event and, essentially, said a lot of people died during World War II, so the Jews shouldn't make it all about themselves.  And by saying it was a White-on-White crime, she obliquely asserted an argument I've heard from Blacks, which is that Blacks suffered slavery for centuries in America, so the Jews shouldn't make such a big deal about the few years of the Holocaust.

"On Monday's The View, the harridans...er, ladies were talking about the misreported claim that a Tennessee school district censored Art Spiegelman's overrated Maus, which is essentially a comic book about the Holocaust (and yes, I have read it, and I came away feeling that it was a barely acceptable allegory).  In fact, the school approves of teaching about the Holocaust.  It simply believed that the book was so graphic that it was age-inappropriate for middle-schoolers.  The false narrative served its purpose, though, by calling red-staters antisemites.

"Whoopi's antisemitism, though, was open and obvious.  She said explicitly that the Holocaust wasn't about race, saying, instead, "This is White people doing it to White people," and "It's not about race. ... It's about man's inhumanity to man. ... These are two groups of White people[.]' "

Former U.S. Goalkeeper Drops Major Bombshell: 'I've Seen Megan Rapinoe Almost Bully Players Into Kneeling' -

 Analyzing America  "In a bombshell statement, former U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo said Megan Rapinoe would bully others to comply with her left-wing activism.

"Rapinoe, an outspoken liberal, would pressure her teammates into kneeling before games, Solo alleged.

"Rapinoe used her position on the U.S. women’s Olympic soccer team to advance her left-wing agenda.

Megan Rapinoe arrived at the #MetGala carrying a red, white and blue clutch that reads “IN GAY WE TRUST,” matching her pantsuit.

"She has become an extremely polarizing figure. Rather than focusing on soccer, she uses the field as a backdrop for her left-wing protests.

"Solo said, “I think the rhetoric surrounding this team has been both divisive and inclusive. I guess it’s kind of where we are in politics in this day and age.”

"'I think the kneeling thing can be very divisive,” she continued. “I’ve seen Megan Rapinoe almost bully players into kneeling because she really wants to stand up for something in her particular way.”

"'I think that’s really hard being on the main stage right now with so many political issues for athletes, there’s a lot of pressure,” she added.

"The U.S. women’s soccer team has become more widely recognized for its pregame political posturing than for its dominance on the field.

"In fact, the team recently suffered devastating losses in the Tokyo Olympics, which ended their 44-game winning streak.". . .

BOMBSHELL: Key Evidence Undermining Ukraine Impeachment Narrative Withheld From Trump Defense

  PJ Media

"In 2016, Burisma Holdings was being investigated by Ukraine’s then-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin while then-Vice President Joe Biden’s Hunter sat on the company’s board making $83,000. So Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine unless they fired Shokin.

"Biden argued that his actions were above board because he was carrying out the “official policy” of the Obama administration to root out corruption in Ukraine. “It was a fully transparent policy carried out in front of the whole world and fully, fully embraced by the international community of democracies,” he claimed.

"But according to official memos seen by Just The News, this is not the case. Instead, these memos indicate that U.S. State Department officials were “impressed” with Shokin’s anti-corruption plan and fully supportive of his efforts—undermining a key narrative during the Democrats’ first partisan impeachment of President Trump.

"During the trial, House Democrats maintained that Shokin was fired because State Department officials weren’t happy with his anti-corruption efforts, not because he was investigating Burisma. But these memos obtained by Just the News and the Southeastern Legal Foundation under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request show that senior State Department officials, including then-Secretary of State John Kerry, were “impressed” with Shokin’s efforts.". . .

Five Impeachable Offenses of Joe Biden – Nation HQ   (PJMedia) – According to a new Rasmussen Reports survey, half of U.S. voters believe that Joe Biden should be impeached . Nearly as many think Republicans will pursue impeachment if they win back the majority in November, as they are expected to do. I’m skeptical that Republicans will do it, but some have hinted that impeachment is absolutely on the table.

"“If we take the House, which I said is overwhelmingly likely, then I think we will see serious investigations of the Biden administration,” Ted Cruz said earlier this month . “Whether it’s justified or not, the Democrats weaponized impeachment. They used it for partisan purposes to go after Trump because they disagreed with him. One of the real disadvantages of doing that is the more you weaponize it and turn it into a partisan cudgel, you know what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”

"I’m all for some payback for what the Democrats did to Trump, but I also don’t think impeaching Biden over policy disagreements or fake accusations (like what happened to Trump) is the way to go either. So, the question is, what can we legitimately impeach Biden for?

"Well, here are five things.". . .

Inflation Rises At Fastest Pace In 40 Years As Cost Of Energy, Food Also Way Up Under Biden | Weasel Zippers

If you wanted proof Biden isn't in charge of his own administration, here it is...

. . ."A mere 32 seconds' worth of video depicting the end of Biden's address to the nation's governors proves that he is not in charge of his presidency.  He indicates that the plan was for him to take questions, beginning with one from the governor of Utah.  (The oddity of a POTUS planning in advance the questioners at the end of events, including press conferences, is a separate and disturbing issue.  Scripting so closely suggests an inability to handle spontaneity and stage management of Q&A that is unseemly.)

"But, as you will see, someone else decided that Biden was not going to follow that plan.  My guess is that he was showing signs of incoherence, of the phenomenon known as "sundowning," where a dementia patient loses coherence as the day wears on.". . .

The Big Lie of Biden’s ‘Black Woman’ Court Promise - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics    Remembering what was done to Clarence Thomas.  

. . ."Former Bush Vice President Dan Quayle, writing in his memoirs Standing Firm, said the moment the Thomas Nomination was announced:

[W]e knew that the long knives of “political correctness” were being sharpened for use against this strong, independent man who did not fit the liberals’ idea of what a black jurist — in fact, any black man — should stand for. 

… But the forces lining up against Thomas were considerable, and the nature and rhetoric of their opposition was sometimes almost sickening. (Washington Post African-American) Columnist Carl Rowan said that “if you gave Thomas a little flour on his face, you’d think you had [KKK leader] David Duke talking.” A leader from the (leftist) National Organization for Women said, “We’re going to ‘Bork’ him. We need to kill him politically,” while one black (Democrat) Congressman declared that “a black conservative is a contradiction in terms.'”. . .

. . ." The fact of the matter here is that Biden’s pledge to nominate a “black woman” is at its heart not about about nominating a black or a woman at all. In fact it is really all about nominating a liberal.

"And Biden, as with most Democrat elites, fully expects that by definition a black woman is a liberal.

"No sexism or racism there."

Furious National police union demands Jen Psaki APOLOGIZE for 'laughing off' Americans' concerns over 'soft-on-crime' policies from 'the safety of the White House'

Daily Mail Online    . . ."Psaki was speaking about a Fox News segment during an appearance on the Pod Save America podcast last week when she questioned what 'soft-on-crime consequence' even means and insisted Americans care 'more about what’s happening in their lives than what’s necessarily happening in every cable news chyron'.

"She laughed off concerns despite a 510 percent nationwide spike in carjackings over the last year, 28 police officers being shot in January and widespread criticism of Democratic DAs including New York's Alvin Bragg who are going softer on criminals.  

"She said that while CNN and MSNBC were focused on Ukraine-Russia tensions, 'On Fox is Jeanine Pirro talking about soft-on-crime consequences, I mean, what does that even mean?' 

 ' 'There's an alternate universe on some coverage,' Psaki said. 'What's scary about it is a lot of people watch that. They think that the president isn't doing anything to address people's safety in New York and that couldn't be further from the truth.' 

" Psaki then seemed to imply Americans care more about 'what's happening in their lives' than crime spikes.". . .  

Whoopi Goldberg: Holocaust 'not about race'. Will The Whoopster get a pass on this?

Might she have thought of murdering millions of men, women, and children - because they were Jews - to be not 'Race-Race'? Whoopi is a stickler for the fine points

"Whoopi Goldberg argued on ABC's The View Monday the Holocaust was "not about race," prompting pushback from co-hosts on the show.

"If you're going to do this, then let's be truthful about it," Goldberg said. "Because the Holocaust isn't about race. No, it's not about race."

"Co-host Joy Behar asked Goldberg: "Then what was it about?"

" 'It's about man's inhumanity to man," Goldberg responded. "That's what it's about."

"Ana Navarro, another co-host on the show, interjected, saying, "Well, it's about white supremacy. That's what it's about. It's about going after Jews and gypsies."

" 'But these are two groups of white people," Goldberg cut in. "But you're missing the point. The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let's talk about it for what it is. It's how people treat each other. It's a problem. It doesn't matter if you're Black* or white, because Black*, white, Jews ... everybody eats each other.' ". . .

My strong opinion is that Whoopi gets a pass because her point of view was leftist and against a group of people defended by Christians and conservatives.

*Notice now that of all ethnic groups, only the term "black" is capitalized. Part of the George Floyd penance includes kneeling for him.

Fox News vs. CNN; a train wreck?

 Tucker Carlson says Jim Acosta is 'dumbest anchor in the U.S.' as war of words intensifies | News - Tucker Carlson (headtopics.com)  

 "Tucker Carlson has attacked CNN host Jim Acosta after he criticized his conduct during an interview with Andrew Yang.

"Acosta added: "Yes, Tucker Carlson your suggestion that Kamala Harris isn't quite American because she spent part of her childhood in Canada has put you over the top. "We once honored you with the distinction of bulls*** factory employee of the month but now that 2021 is coming to an end, we decided to recognize you as our first ever bulls*** factory employee of the year. That is right Tucker, you earned it."

"Acosta went on to criticize the Fox News host and accuse him of spreading misinformation regarding the coronavirus pandemic and serving as a

"mouthpiece" for some white supremacists. He said: "You have just spent the past year peddling vaccine conspiracy theories about Bill Gates. You have served as a mouthpiece for white supremacists who embrace the great replacement theory.

Lunatics: Acosta & Guest Compare Unvaccinated to Committing Human Sacrifices | Newsbusters   "Just when you think CNN can't go any lower they manage to prove us wrong. On Sunday afternoon's CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta, the leftist anchor brought on Atlantic writer Kurt Anderson to claim that those who are skeptical of the COVID vaccines are akin to the Aztecs committing "mass human sacrifices."

"Acosta commenced the deranged segment by asking Anderson about his article in the Atlantic which he argues "the anti-vaccine right has brought human sacrifice to America."  Anderson wailed that:

Once the Republican Party decided under Donald Trump to politicize this so strictly, vaccine protocols, the public health protocols, and then once we had a vaccine that was so astoundingly effective and where refusing to take it, not taking it, led to deaths very clearly and has led to more deaths by far among people who watch Fox News, who are on the right it really -- I realized that it suddenly it wasn't just a figure of speech or a piece of rhetoric that people had used from the beginning. Left and right, mass human sacrifice but that it was real. . .

Mansion Marxists

Black Lives Matter’s founders are known for property they like to buy — but there’s more to BLM’s spending and it’s upsetting rank-and-file members. 

 That includes the recent BLM “Black Xmas” campaign, which denounces “white-supremacist-capitalism,” given that “capitalism doesn’t love Black people. "Capitalism seems to love Patrisse, and she it.

The American Spectator   "The term “mansion Marxist” is an oldie and a goodie. It’s right up there with “limousine leftist,” but richer (pun intended) because it denotes an especially outrageous kind of left-wing hypocrite: For instance, the Soviet party apparatchik basking in the warmth of his seaside dacha while the masses shiver in breadlines. Or the self-proclaimed fighter for the working man who yaps about income equality while filling his pockets with profits pilfered from party coffers. Gus Hall, the corrupt head of Communist Party USA from 1959 to 2000 was a master of the craft, dutifully stuffing his wallet with cash from the Kremlin before sparing a dime for his union brothers on the factory floor.

"I wrote a long piece on this phenomenon for The American Spectator last fall. Titled “Marxist Greed,” it looked at cases from the Kims of North Korea to Xi Jinping to Nicolai Ceausescu, who had castles all over Romania. Fidel Castro, for instance, was worth a cool $900 million at the time of his death, while all Cuban workers subsisted off an annual salary of $120. You couldn’t own a home or boat in Cuba, but Fidel damn well owned the island. Raul Castro, too, is a multi-millionaire.

"Marxism, you see, is for the ruled, not the rulers; it’s for the masses, not the masters.

"When I Googled “mansion Marxist” yesterday, what popped up were three news articles about the founder of Black Lives Matter, Patrice Cullors, a homegrown American Marxist.

" 'We are trained Marxists,” said Patrisse of her and BLM co-founder Alicia Garza. “We are super-versed [in] ideological theories.” Particularly critical race theory.". . .

Climate Change, the Flu, and the Death of Satire

 

Follow the Fauci? (wnd.com)

. . ."Things don’t bode well for a society that takes everything so deathly seriously.

The American Spectator  "It has become ever more difficult in recent years to write satire because the world is going crazy so fast that satire becomes reality — sometimes poisonous reality — before you can finish writing or even start laughing. Even somewhat far-fetched predictions can no longer be taken lightly.  

"This column suggested recently that if the government can do the kinds of things it has been doing to “protect” the public against the Fauci Flu, think what it can do to prevent the “existential” crisis of climate change. 

"The Fauci Flu has not yet been referred to as an existential threat. But why not? Simply because no one would believe that? How can you be so sure? 

"It is true that for many months many people have been discounting whatever the government has been saying about the Flu, and masks, and the vaccines, and the boosters. Think about, among other disgraces, how then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lied about the number of people who had died (largely because of his policies) in nursing homes. And now we learn Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan did the same thing. That rising distrust in government is one reason it has become ever more necessary for the government to try to shame people into doing what the government announces is good behavior. 

"But not everyone distrusts government. Rasmussen Reports released a poll recently that showed Democrat voters support harsh measures against the unvaccinated. The poll found that 48 percent of voters favor imposing a Fauci Flu vaccine mandate on employees of large corporations, and 48 percent oppose. Okay (sort of), up to that point, but then the results get nasty. " . . .
