TDS destroys DeNiro and other once-favored celebs

 Alicia Colon - American Thinker

Since these Hollywood icons have descended into the bottom realm of TDS, I find the preponderance of hateful comments and posts they wield too unpleasant and have avoided paying to watch any vehicle they’re appearing in and as their films and other venues tank, apparently I’m not the only one who feels the same. 

"It is a real mystery why Trump Derangement Syndrome has managed to destroy the legacies of so many formerly admired Hollywood celebrities. Robert DeNiro, whom I had always thought was a terrific actor, has become such a vicious and profane TDS victim that I have lost the urge to watch again any of his great performances.

"After the braindead NY jury found Trump guilty of 34 fake felonies, Hollywood TDS-infected stars celebrated this egregious miscarriage of justice. While most of these so-called celebs are really has-beens seeking relevance, I wonder if they have any idea the huge number of fans who’ve sworn to never spend another cent on anything they star in.

"In a post-verdict article in Breitbart.com headlined- “Hollywood Celebrities Rejoice over Trump Verdict: ‘Tears of Joy,’ ‘F**k Trump and F**k Those Who Support Him’” the following stars were pictured stupidly enjoying the result: ·Barbra Streisand, ·Rob Reiner, ·Bette Midler, and ·six others not famous enough to mention. The article went on to  list the tweets crowing about what they perceive as justice, but the one that I found really disgusting was semi-celeb Ellen Barkin tweeting in all caps-GOD BLESS NEW YORK CITY!!!  

"I was born and raised in what was once the greatest city in the world, but it is now unrecognizable thanks to progressives who do not understand anything about being American. I grew up in a time when  NYC was a city filled with immigrants from all over the world who came here legally to become Americans and were grateful for the opportunity. Now progressives have allowed a new immigrant force that is only here to pillage and destroy the favorable impression that legal immigrants made in my home town.  

"Whenever I access Breitbart’s entertainment page, and read what these celebrities post in their hateful remarks about any Republican, I try and remember what had first appealed to me about their performances rather than the hateful words they were now expressing. As a native New Yorker who was devastated by the 9/11 attacks on my city, I much appreciated  and watched over and over the moving video of Bette Midler singing Wind Beneath My Wings  at a Prayer ceremony in Yankee Stadium filled with the families of the victims.  After she finished the song, she’s seen hugging Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Governor Pataki, yet she is now firmly in the hate-all-Republicans camp. And I find that so sad." . . .

JUST IN: Biden’s Ghostwriter Admits To Deleting Evidence Due To Special Counsel Probe

 Chris Powell (trendingpoliticsnews.com)

"The investigation’s findings were politically charged, sparking debates about Biden’s cognitive abilities and the fairness of the legal probes compared to similar cases involving other political figures, such as former President Donald Trump."

"Mark Zwonitzer, Joe Biden’s ghostwriter, disclosed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that he had deleted numerous audio records of interviews with the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent, partly due to the ongoing special counsel investigation. At that time, Special Counsel Robert Hur, a Department of Justice special counsel, was probing allegations that Biden had improperly handled and unlawfully retained classified documents after his tenure as vice president.

"It is also alleged that some of these classified documents, in violation of national security laws, were shared with Zwonitzer. During his FBI interview, according to the transcript reviewed by The National Pulse, agents questioned Zwonitzer about the influence of the special counsel’s appointment on his decision to delete the recordings.

"Initially evasive, Zwonitzer admitted he “was aware of the special counsel investigation when that happened.” He confirmed that he had eliminated several years of audio records from his interviews with Biden. Zwonitzer is a writer and documentary filmmaker known for his work in both television and authorship. He has written several books, often focusing on American history or biographies, and has been involved in the production of numerous PBS documentaries.

"His skills as a writer have led him to ghostwriting roles, which include collaborating with prominent figures to help pen their memoirs or personal stories. According to the transcript, one FBI agent confronted Zwonitzer, questioning the timing of his deletion of audio recordings after learning about the special counsel’s investigation into Biden.

“ 'The outside observer is going to look at this and say ‘Mark Zwonitzer, President Biden’s friend, ghostwriter, collaborator learned of the special counsel’s investigation, saw this happening, and then deleted all these audio recordings,'” the agent said, pressing for clarity on the motives behind Zwonitzer’s actions: “I just need the truth on this one, but there’s some truth in that, that was what was going on. That was part of your motivation, at least something you were aware of when you did this?”

"Zwonitzer tacitly admitted that the investigation had influenced his decision to some extent, though he declined to specify how much it affected him. “I’m not going to say how much of the percentage it was of my motivation,” he stated." . . .

The evil of wokeness

 Lime, the new Bud Light, issued a groveling statement condemning the use of their scooters for the desecration of the gay pride iconography.

Pride Decried › American Greatness  

Supporting LGBTQ Pride Month, Kevin Rector, a legal affairs reporter for the Los Angeles Times, insists that “Queer people should not just be accepted but celebrated.”  That is absurd. What willing people do behind closed doors is no one else’s business—not yours, not mine, and not the government’s. But to honor people—for an entire month, no less—for their sexual activity is an insult to us all, gay and straight.

. . ."The teens got caught after a group of witnesses sitting at a nearby bar saw them acting nefariously, revving their electronic Lime scooters, and intentionally scooting their tires over the mural to create skid marks, court documents revealed, KREM News reported.

"There is little that angers me more than the obvious, disgusting, and unAmerican legal persecution by Democrats of anyone who does not take a knee to their woke religion, and this story is particularly infuriating because these kids were riding scooters on a “Pride” mural that is painted on a road." . . .

Never forget that just days ago Democrats arrested 3 teenagers with felonies for making scooter marks on a street painted with a rainbow. These people, on the other hand, are given a free pass. 🤡🌎h/t @politicalmath pic.twitter.com/hlJFaeDKNQ

Senate GOP Says They Will Block Biden Nominees Over Trump Lawfare

 In a recent essay in "National Review," he argued for just such a dose of karma for Democrats. Yoo states the obvious: that the Democrats' perversion of the American legal system has greatly damaged the office of the president. 

JD Vance and other Senate Republicans Vow to BLOCK DOJ FUNDING, Biden Nominees: ‘We No Longer Cooperate’

RedState   For the last year, Americans have watched as Donald Trump has garnered four indictments in four Democrat-friendly districts, amassing roughly 91 felony charges. It is an overt display of a weaponized Department of Justice the likes of which this country has never seen. As President Joe Biden looks increasingly weak and cognitively impaired, Democrats know they are in trouble in November, and lawfare has seemed their only way to hang onto power for dear life. But it appears that Senate Republicans may have had just about enough and are tired of playing nice.

"On Thursday, a group of GOP Senators led by Sen. J.D. Vance, which also includes Sens. (R-OH), Mike Lee (R-UT), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO), announced they would put a hold policy on several of President Biden's nominees in response to the ongoing "radical lawfare" against Donald Trump. In addition to various judicial nominees, there are also the pending nominations of deputy undersecretary of the Treasury and general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

"The Senators' announcement also stated that the nominees in question would apply to those who “supported lawfare or censorship” of Trump, “suggested the Trump prosecutions were reasonable,” or endorsed Trump’s guilt. some of the nominees include Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) to represent the U.S. at the U.N. General Assembly, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's nomination to represent the U.S. on the World Health Organization Board, and former Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) to represent the U.S. on the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization. While the nominations are relatively minor, they will force Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to use valuable Senate floor time on things like judicial nominations, leaving the others to languish or not be confirmed at all. The group says the stall will last through the election." . . .

Comment:  GREAT, now do what you say you’re going to do!! As Republicans have a tendency to backslide and do NOTHING!!!

Caitlin Clark in Obama’s America. Is this what you were aiming for, Joe?

 Perhaps this is the Joe Biden/ Maxine Waters/ Joy Reid effect on sports.

Earick Ward - American Thinker 

The Olympics is bigger than the games.  It is a representation of who we are as a nation.  As it is, the USA Women’s Basketball Team will go to Paris and represent (Obama’s and Biden’s) America — race division and strife. 

 "As a long-time (until the LeBron era) Lakers fan, I am grateful that I was around to witness Showtime firsthand — Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Byron Scott, Kurt Rambis, A.C. Green, and Michael Cooper.

Their rivalry with the Boston Celtics and Larry Bird throughout the eighties catapulted “the game” to unprecedented heights.  So it is with Caitlin Clark and the WNBA, or at least it could be.

But alas, resentment, racism, and bigotry (in this case, against heterosexuality) are (seemingly) more powerful than the competition, and more importantly, the opportunity to catapult “the women’s game” beyond the abysmal ratings that it has experienced since its inception.

In the eighties, during the Lakers/Celtics run, race was all but irrelevant to the game.  That’s not to say that race was entirely irrelevant, but it didn’t cause me (a Caucasian person) to root for Larry Bird ahead of my beloved Lakers.  Magic was my guy.  Showtime was my team.

Today’s game is mired, as is (seemingly) the rest of society, in race and race grievance — Obama’s America.  Envy has taken front-row seats in the Caitlin Clark era.

This past week, it was reported that Caitlin Clark was left off the U.S. Olympic Women’s Basketball Team, with reports that “there were concerns about her millions of fans” being upset that she wouldn’t have gotten any playing time.  This rationale is interesting on two fronts.  One: Those “millions of fans” would have watched the Olympic games, and two: Playing time would have been what it was.  If Clark were put in to help the team, then her playing time would be justified by her production.

What is behind the pro-Palestinian protests at US universities?

 

How Ohio's KKK mask law could be used to charge pro-Palestine protesters

. . ."In a letter sent Monday to the state’s public universities, Yost said a 1953 “anti-disguise” law could apply to mask-wearing students protesting against Israel’s war in Gaza. The law makes it a fourth-degree felony for two or more people to commit any crime together “while wearing white caps, masks, or other disguise.”

"At least 40 people were arrested during peaceful protests on Ohio State University’s campus in late April, including 18 students. All protesters were charged with criminal trespassing, a low-level misdemeanor. But under his interpretation of the state’s anti-disguise law, Yost said protesters could face up to a year and a half in prison and $5,000 in fines." . . .

Explainer: What is behind the pro-Palestinian protests at US universities? | Reuters  . . ."Pro-Palestinian protests have drawn students, faculty and outside activists, including of Jewish and Muslim faiths. The groups organizing the protests include Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace.

'The encampments have hosted a diverse array of teach-ins, interfaith prayers and musical performances.

" 'Organizers have disavowed violence against pro-Israel counter-protesters, although some Jewish students have said they feel unsafe on campus and unnerved by chants they call antisemitic.

"Some city leaders and university administrators have said activists from outside campus have co-opted or orchestrated protests. The University of Texas, Austin, for instance, said of the 79 people arrested on its campus on April 29, 45 had no affiliation with the university.

WHO ARE THE COUNTER PROTESTERS?

"Campus counter protests have been led by Israeli American and Zionist groups as well as fellow students and Jewish-American community members.

"Hundreds of people attended a counter rally at UCLA in Los Angeles organized by the Israel advocacy group the Israeli American Council. A Jewish student activist at UCLA posted video of himself being barred from an area of campus by pro-Palestinian protesters.

"A scuffle broke out at the University of California, Berkeley on May 1 between the co-founder of Zionist group Students Supporting Israel and a pro-Palestinian protester.

"At Arizona State University student counter protesters helped police dismantle a protest encampment on April 27. Hundreds of students at the University of Mississippi, some waving U.S. flags and banners supporting former President Donald Trump, chanted against pro-Palestinian protesters on May 2." . . .

Mike Lawler calls Tlaib a 'disgusting person' who 'has no business serving in Congress'

"These folks have promulgated this lie that Israel is the oppressor in Gaza," he added. "Meanwhile, the real oppressor is Hamas, a terrorist organization that uses civilians indiscriminately as shields to try to protect themselves. They need to be eliminated, period. The fact that we have sympathizers as members of Congress is so unbecoming and so horrifying."

EXPERIMENTING with Olive Honey Over Gunmetal PAYS OFF (Oddly Amazing)

 DipYourCar - YouTube

"As someone who's done "costume jewelry" (non-precious metal jewelry pieces) for a metalwork class, the olive honey seems to hit every shade of brass. in the mixing beaker it looks like yellow brass that's started to tarnish, and on the stick it looks like freshly cleaned brass maybe even with a bit of fire scale (where annealing or soldering the brass brings some of the copper in the alloy to the surface). When it flashes on the gunmetal it hints at an old worn brass look, which it could probably hit with a warmer grey behind it." Comment

Questions raised about medically juicing Biden for debate

 Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner (msn.com)  "With President Joe Biden physically drained by one long European trip and now off to southern Italy for the annual Group of Seven economic summit, expectations are growing that he will return for a long Camp David rest to prepare for the first 2024 debate on June 27 with former President Donald Trump.

"Some are speculating that Biden, seen Monday night standing stiff and unconnected to the White House celebration of Juneteenth on the South Lawn, may be medically revitalized during his visit to the Maryland presidential resort.

"Kellyanne Conway, a former White House adviser to Trump, suggested on Fox on Wednesday that Biden might get juiced.

"I wonder what's going to happen with him medically at Camp David for 10 days because we have no hard evidence that Joe Biden can stand anywhere, let alone at a podium, intimidated by Donald Trump feet away from him for 90 minutes without a teleprompter," she said, according to a post on X.

"Similar suggestions were aired after Biden's recent State of the Union address, in which he appeared engaged and lingered long after to socialize with politicians in the House chamber.

"Trump, for example, rumored that Biden was on stimulating drugs. At one point, when the president verbally stumbled, Trump said on social media, "THE DRUGS ARE WEARING OFF!" He has also called for pre-debate drug tests.

The Bidens are a dysfunctional family of grifters - Patricia McCarthy   

. . ."As his laptop showed, he is a thoroughly degenerate man who was a drug addict who used prostitutes, some of them very young.  After his divorce from his first wife, he had an affair with his sister-in-law, the widow of his deceased brother.  He introduced her to cocaine.  Both his wife and sister-in-law are mothers, of his own three daughters and his niece and nephew.  How sick is that?  Dysfunctional hardly describes how unstable the Biden family is. 

Being the snobs they are, they continue to ignore the child Hunter fathered with Lunden Roberts but embrace the son by the newest wife.  In a semi-normal family, wouldn’t some of those adult children want to know their half-sister in Arkansas?  Guess not.  They are all without a shred of class or grace.  They are all grifters.

Democrats' Lawfare Proves Politically Impotent, Apt to Boomerang

 Josh Hammer (dailysignal.com)  "Nearly 14 months after the first of four unprecedented criminal prosecutions against former President Donald Trump commenced in earnest, the Democrat-lawfare complex got its man: The Soviet show trial in “Justice” Juan Merchan’s dingy New York City courtroom produced its preordained “guilty” verdict.

• It is perhaps hackneyed to observe that, in convicting and seeking to incarcerate a former president and current leading presidential candidate, we have “crossed the Rubicon.” Well …
• Did we not cross a Rubicon when the demonic Obama administration sued the nuns—yes, literal nuns—of the Little Sisters of the Poor to try to force them to subsidize abortifacients?
• Did we not cross a Rubicon when Democrats threw out 4,000 to 5,000 years of “innocent until proven guilty” civilizational norms to try to derail the U.S. Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh?
• Did we not cross a Rubicon when then-vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris solicited funds to bail out anarchic Antifa-Black Lives Matter street hooligans?
• Did we not cross a Rubicon when the American Stasi—sorry, the FBI—raided Mar-a-Lago over a document dispute?
• Did we not cross a Rubicon when myriad Trump attorneys, including the renowned scholar John Eastman, were prosecuted for practicing the legal profession?
• Did we not cross a Rubicon when Peter Navarro or Steve Bannon (just now) were ordered to jail? . . . 

Report: Joe Biden Says Hunter Is Victim of Weaponized System of Justice (breitbart.com)    "President Joe Biden reportedly believes Hunter Biden is a victim of the weaponization of justice following his gun conviction on Tuesday.

A Delaware jury found Hunter guilty of all three gun charges. He faces up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines.

The octogenarian pledged last week in France he would not pardon Hunter. He has not, however, spoken about whether he would deliver a commutation.

The president feels guilty over Hunter’s legal predicament, two people not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations about Hunter told Politico. They also told the outlet Joe Biden believes he contributed to Hunter’s plight."

“If I weren’t running for reelection, he would have gotten the plea deal,” Biden told a confidant earlier this month, a person familiar with the conversation told Politico.

Which Joe runs this nation?

 

Good and Evil - Lars Møller   . . ."In the West, people are negligent of the evil that threatens them from without. Yes, against their better judgment, they even doubt the existence of evil in the world. Many years of peace have obviously dulled their senses and made them mellow. In addition, they may have lost some of their courage to speak out against unfairness and defend themselves. Therefore, they hesitate to respond appropriately when the enemy blatantly lies to them and tests their resolve." . . .

In the end, it wouldn't be a "war"; it would be a horror story that wouldn't officially end at some courthouse." . . .

Anti-Israel mob chanting 'Long live Intifada' lights flares outside NYC exhibit that memorializes Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival victims

 NY Post (nypost.com)

I assume this is what they were cheering:  

"The demonstration, organized by pro-Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime, began in Union Square, where some protesters unfurled a “Long live October 7th” banner, according to social media footage."

"A mob of anti-Israel protesters chanted “Long live the Intifada” during a depraved celebration Monday night outside a downtown Manhattan exhibit that memorializes the murder and rape victims of the Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival, where 364 people were killed by Hamas terrorists.

The work of Palestinians

"The deranged pro-terror crowd lit flares and waved a flag associated with the Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah in front of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street during what was billed by organizers as a “citywide day of rage for Gaza,” according to video from the scene." . . .

“ 'There’s only one reason why these protesters would march in front of a Manhattan exhibit in memory of those killed at the Nova music festival on October 7th,” Joel Petlin, superintendent of the Kiryas Joel School District, said in a social media post.

“ 'They support the terrorists who perpetrated it, and they want it to happen again.”

"Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in April that a call for intifada is to “call for violence against Israelis and Jews and Israel.”
