Stephen Colbert slammed for partisan Democratic support as he hosts lavish Biden fundraiser in New York

  Tamkeenat Rose

"LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: CBS host Stephen Colbert's recent involvement in a glitzy fundraiser for Democratic Party luminaries has sparked a wave of criticism, with many accusing him of abandoning his once-cherished role as a fearless satirist in favor of becoming a partisan cheerleader.

"Colbert, known for his biting satire on 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report,' has increasingly aligned himself with the Democratic establishment since taking over 'The Late Show' on CBS.

"His latest move came when he moderated a conversation with Democratic presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton at a high-profile fundraiser in New York City, which reportedly raised a whopping $26 million for Biden's 2024 presidential campaign." . . .

. . ."Critics have pointed out the stark contrast between Colbert's current role as a Democratic booster and his past reputation as a sharp critic of political power.

"His scathing roast of President George W Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner, which drew widespread attention and praise for its fearless commentary, stands in stark contrast to his current alignment with the Democratic establishment.

"While mainstream news reports acknowledged Colbert's participation in the fundraiser, they largely overlooked the implications of a comedian cozying up to elite Democrats and actively raising funds for their political campaigns."

Barack Obama’s interview with Stephen Colbert draws criticism for being too soft | news.com.au   . . .“Can we just take a moment? I just – and I want to talk. I just want to take a moment to drink you in for just a moment, because I’m having to get used to looking at a president again,” Colbert told Mr Obama.

“You know, I’ve gotten out of the habit. I’ve got to warm up for Joe Biden, I don’t want to pull anything when I see him take the oath of office. You’ve got to ease me into this a little bit.”

“Joe’s going to be great. Kamala’s going to be great,” Mr Obama replied.

“I have no doubt,” said Colbert.

"Yes, yes, Colbert is a comedian. We shouldn’t expect Jeremy Paxman here. I’m just saying, when it comes to presidential interviews, this one was about as soft as they get, so brace yourself for that."

Key bridge collapse: Buttigieg didn’t call bridge racist

Key bridge collapse: Buttigieg didn’t call bridge racist | 11alive.com  "The 1.6-mile Key Bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River at around 1:30 a.m. ET March 26 after a cargo vessel leaving the Port of Baltimore struck one of its columns. Buttigieg joined Maryland Gov. Wes Moore later that day in Baltimore, then made subsequent public appearances where he expressed his desire to reopen the port and rebuild the structure.

"But at no point has he called the bridge “racist,” as the claim states. The Facebook post distorts a comment he made more than two years earlier about how some bridges and roadways were designed. He did not refer specifically to the Key Bridge." . . .

Some background:

Yes, the Francis Scott Key Bridge is indeed named after Francis Scott Key, who wrote the lyrics to the “Star-Spangled Banner”. The bridge, located in Baltimore, Maryland, was erected almost five decades ago and became an iconic part of the city’s identity. It collapsed into the Patapsco River after being struck by a cargo ship that lost power just before the crash. The bridge had 185 feet (56 meters) of clearance above the water and played a crucial role in the region’s transportation infrastructure. Its construction site was near where Francis Scott Key witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry on September 12, 1814, inspiring him to write the poem that later became the national anthem of the United States1. The loss of the Key Bridge is deeply felt by the community, as it was not only a commuting route for thousands of Marylanders but also a symbol of Baltimore’s history and resilience. 🌉🇺🇸

But in the Biden administration, everything is racist.

"Alfred blinks his owlish, bespectacled eyes, and then, in his British accent, says, “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money.  They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with.  Some men just want to watch the world burn.”

"So true.

Help me Ronna! by Silvio Canto, Jr.     

. . ."Yes, the place is crazy and their reaction to Ronna McDaniel confirms that the network needs someone with a backbone to tell these people to get Trump out of their heads. It is amazing to me that someone as gentle as Ronna McDaniel would generate such a reaction. I could understand such a reaction if a real conservative had been hired. Ronna? No way." . .

"It's almost like left-wing media sock puppets are locked in a battle over who can make the most vile, inappropriate, and repulsive statements about all things conservative — and of course, about former President Donald Trump. Most of these "journalists" are a dime a dozen, except for race-hustler extraordinaire, MSNBC's Joy Reid and Trump-loathing "Morning Joe" co-host, Joe Scarborough.

"In my book, Scarborough took home the trophy on Friday.

"Scarborough once again trotted out a Trump-Hitler analogy, with a couple of new Nazi comparisons tossed in just for grins — which was made even better by the presence of guest George Conway, who also hates Trump more than anyone else on the planet. Ready to laugh? Here we go.

"Joe's co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, kicked off the ridiculous festivities by bringing up the Jan. 6 Capitol riot for the 47,593,734th time on the dopey show." . . .

. . ."Boasting to Conway, Scarborough bloviated:

It's so funny, George. You and I were conservatives, and are conservatives, but we were conservatives when some of these women on Fox News who call us liberals were still playing with their— their Barbies. Of course, Eva Braun edition. [Conway laughed, hysterically.] . . .

To fit in at MSNBC, McDaniel would have had to become as bitter and distorted as her coworkers there, ridding herself of all traces of integrity. TD

As with Joy Reid, McDaniel would have to believe or just affirm that America still lived under the Jim Crow Laws that had such a wretched effect on our society for decades. They have either left Reid scarred and obsessed or simply given her motivation to spread her bitterness. As Reid is 55 years old now, it is doubtful she personally lived under those laws. TD

"In the various diatribes against McDaniel, she was characterized as dishonest and labeled an "election denier" over her actions on behalf of former President Trump over his claims of a rigged 2020 race, as well as her own remarks that it was unfair.

Joe Biden had $7.5 billion to spend on 500,000 EV charging stations. He has built ... 7

 Things do not bode well in America. TD

Monica Showalter - American Thinker

"It's the old problem of central planning for a Better Tomorrow instead of letting the market decide." 

. . ."Had Biden left the green future up to market forces, the charging stations would have gone up on their own because enterprising entrepreneurs would have found a market for it and with that, a profitable opportunity to do so.

"They didn't, because electric vehicles are expensive and less efficient than gas-powered vehicles, harder to drive, and seemingly more dangerous and less socially responsible based on their reliance on rare earth minerals mined by third world children. Those were the signals the market was responding to, but for Biden, that didn't matter.

"Biden ignored all that and took it upon himself to force electric vehicles onto the public anyway with his electric charging station schemes.

"Getting everyone into electric vehicles whether they like it or not was the name of his greenie leftist game, which he and his allied claimed was all about saving the planet. The greenie left has always had a thing against efficient cars with members of the public driving these individual cars without a bus driver directing them and Joe Biden has embraced its agenda, with ambitious mandates on buying less-efficient electric vehicles, impossible fuel efficiency standards, actual bans on gasoline-powered vehicles in coming years, and innovations-from-hell like metered mileage taxes, as we see bruited about in California.

"Now that he's gotten what he wanted, he's made another mess of it, wasting a lot of money on consultant contracts, crony payouts and other things that don't put charging stations on the ground.

"In reality it has never been about global warming but about consolidating government and greenie control and power." . . .

"The bulk of the funds, $5 billion, are to go toward building fast chargers along major interstates - what's being called the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure or NEVI program. 

"To satisfy the federal program's requirements, chargers must be built at least every 50 miles over major highway routes and be operational 97 percent of the time.

"They also must take credit card payments and certain components must be made domestically." . . .

Indep. Candidate Nathan Hochman Will Run Against LA County DA George Gascón in November

 Jennifer Oliver O'Connell – RedState

"Los Angeles County has a credible and viable district attorney's race going, and it may be their salvation. Incumbent district attorney George Gascón could not even reach 30 percent of the vote on March 5, and the level of disgust with him among Angeleans only continues to rise.

"Gascón's challenger, former federal prosecutor and assistant U.S. District Attorney Nathan Hochman achieved just shy of 16 percent of the vote, but it is enough to be the top two vote-getter and included on the general election ballot." . . .

"The flaw in this analysis is the writer views this race through the lens of Democrat vs. Republican, instead of safety and accountability vs. endangerment and irresponsibility. Now that the race has been drilled down to Gascón and Hochman, let us hope that Los Angeles County voters will have the wherewithal to demand a return to safety, accountability, and sanity--and jettison Gascón from office."   

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid’s crying shame

 MSNBC anchor Joy Reid's crying shame: Miranda Devine

But for Reid, he is guilty of murder because he was born white. Every night she spews hatred against white people. Who knows what pathology drives her, but it’s not healthy, for her or any of her dwindling audience. Shame on MSNBC for elevating such a hate-filled racist to prime time. 

"Joy Reid is a racist sociopath. How else to explain her reaction to Kyle Rittenhouse breaking down in the witness box during his murder trial last week? 

“White crocodile tears,” said the hate-mongering MSNBC prime-time anchor. 

"This is a woman on a seven-figure salary who went to Harvard and has more elite privilege in her little finger than the 17-year-old son of a single mother who was in Kenosha working as a lifeguard when all hell broke loose in the form of BLM-Antifa riots in August 2020. 

"Yet Reid continually plays the victim and makes her living punching down at white people less fortunate than she is. 

"Rittenhouse, now 18, lost his composure last week when he had to recount the moment he was cornered by two men, Joshua Ziminski, who was advancing on him with a pistol in his hand, and Joseph Rosenbaum, a deranged pedophile just out of a psych ward, who had already twice threatened to kill him. " . . .

MSNBC's Joy Reid is the wrongest person on television (nypost.com)   . . ."After 13 hours of being ridiculed, Reid finally corrected her jaw-dropper of a tweet about the source of fivethirtyeight.com’s name. If MSNBC were capable of shame, it would announce that Reid has been suspended and told not to come back to work until she is up to speed on basic civics. But then again, Reid’s balderdash is in harmony with MSNBC’s brand: Just think of the network as Mostly Stupid but Nobody Cares." . . .

. . ."The weight of my history, as an Englishman, knew, knew in my very bones, that what was done on October 7th 2023 was vile beyond words, and that such acts require retribution, righteous anger, and implacable punishment.

"These too are very old ideas, ideas we are told we must abandon. Ideas we are told are merely the angry expressions of the Old Testament, utterly alien to our times, and utterly opposed to our ‘modern values’.

"But I believe in righteous fury. I believe that if anything deserves a grim, unforgiving, utterly determined response that will not stop and will not relent until justice is served, it’s what happened on October 7th.   

"The utter depths of barbarity require righteous fury. If you aren’t angry at that, you aren’t human. If you don’t want to hunt down and kill every single one of the perpetrators, you aren’t much of a man, much of a human being, or any bloody use as a government.

"All around me, six months since that terrible day, I hear the word genocide. Again and again and again.

"And not once do I hear it, from most of the western world, aimed at Hamas.

"The unidentified man dressed in a black suit gestured firmly and was visibly agitated as he spoke to the Democratic lawmaker, according to footage of the incident.

"The tense clash received support from onlookers gathered outside the venue, who applauded as the blank-faced governor shuffled back to her car.

"Hochul — who had asked the NYPD, the NYPD Police Benevolent Association, and the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association ahead of time about attending — arrived at the Massapequa Funeral Home on Long Island for the second day of viewing around 1:45 p.m..

"While at the emotional event, Hochul had an “animated” conversation with Diller’s  29-year-old widow, Stephanie, one witness told The Post.

US House to deliver Mayorkas impeachment articles to Senate in April

How can Mayorkas rest comfortably knowing the type of man he is and what he has done to this nation? TD

 Emma R. ~ MagnifyPost.com   "Washington (AFP) – The US House of Representatives will send articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden’s immigration chief to the Senate on April 10, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday — sparking a trial that would likely begin the following day.

"House Republicans blame Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a Democrat, for a surge in illegal entries from Mexico that they have called a “humanitarian catastrophe.”

"They impeached him in February — the culmination of months of attacks on the Democratic administration as they seek to make border security a key issue in November’s election.

"Lawmakers passed two articles accusing him of “willful and systemic refusal” to enforce immigration law and “breach of public trust,” making him the first cabinet secretary to be impeached in nearly 150 years.

"Johnson and his impeachment managers told Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in a letter the evidence against Mayorkas was “clear, comprehensive and compelling.”

" 'If he cares about the constitution and ending the devastation caused by Biden’s border catastrophe, Senator Schumer will quickly schedule a full public trial and hear the arguments put forth by our impeachment managers,” Johnson said in a statement.

"Schumer at the time called the process a “sham” while Biden rebuked Republicans for what he termed a “blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship.”

"The outcome was unprecedented as the House has only ever impeached one other cabinet official — Secretary of War William Belknap in 1876 — and that was over serious allegations of corruption rather than a straightforward policy disagreement.

"Seen as the political equivalent of an indictment, the impeachment is largely symbolic, as Mayorkas is certain to be acquitted if his trial goes ahead in the Democratic-led Senate." . . .
