Much ado about Colbert*, who "built a career on smug, anti-Trump screeds"

Kevin O’Leary: 'Only a Moron' Would Behave Like Stephen Colbert

"But that wasn't the fatal blow. CBS could have cut the staff to the bone and hired a cheaper host — if they believed there was still life left in the late-night format. Fox’s Greg Gutfeld is the lone exception — but he abandoned the format years ago. No desk, no monologue, no scripted celebrity guests. Just a budget setup, a panel of sharp weirdos — and ratings that make the networks wince." 

"Stephen Colbert built a brand on letting his Trump Derangement Syndrome drive his comedy. It finally caught up with him, and CBS is cancelling his show.

"Of course, leftists blame everything they don’t like on Donald Trump. When the president celebrated CBS’s decision, Colbert took to the airwaves on Monday to get ugly.

“ 'Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism: ‘Go f*** yourself,’” Colbert said with particular nastiness.

"I would argue that profanity doesn’t take talent. If Colbert had the level of talent and sophistication that he claims he possesses, he would’ve been able to come up with something witty. Instead, he revealed himself to be a nasty hack with nothing better to say than an F-bomb." . . .

"To be fair, I can’t imagine how frustrating it is to lose your job like Colbert has. But to handle it as gracelessly — TDS or not — as he is reveals something unflattering about his character. It’s not a good look."

Letterman was funny and entertaining, sure, but never missed a chance to dig at Republicans. 

CBS announced it will not replace Stephen Colbert with another chat program. Maybe they could try a comedy show.  . . ."For the Democrats, the Colbert cancellation is just one more loss inflicted on them by Donald Trump in his first six months in office. The proof is their hysterical — in both senses of the word — reactions. “Stephen Colbert is the best in the business,” tweeted former VP nominee and Dem macho man Tim Walz. “He always told truth to power and pulled no punches.” Best what, one might ask — mope, hack, scold? Certainly not comedian. And as for always telling the truth, his cringeworthy vaccine dance number during the COVID scare should dispel that idea." . . .

"Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld mocked them all, to include Joe Biden poop jokes*. The result is Gutfeld’s 3.2-million nightly viewers tops Colbert’s 2.4 million, Kimmel’s 1.7 million, Fallon’s 1.2 million, and Meyer’s sub-million at a fraction of their production cost. Gutfeld hit close to five million viewers one night last September, when his guest was Donald Trump. He has one more big advantage over his four rivals. He’s funny." . . .  

*Sorry, but I find Gutfeld a turnoff at that particular juncture. TD

Johnny Carson Silences '60 Minutes' Host with Answer He Didn’t See Coming

"Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" shares a DM clip of Johnny Carson telling "60 Minutes'" Mike Wallace why he didn't discuss politics on "The Tonight Show" and why future late night comedians like Stephen Colbert would be wise to follow his advice."

Remember when Barack, Hillary, and the media ruled America? UPDATED

Be aware that Tulsi Gabbard now holds the post once held by James Clapper.

How many Hillary Clinton foibles will it take before all but the true believers understand how corrupt many democrats are?  . . ."But 2016 politics? There was a simple rule: If the topic is Hillary, just shut up and smile.

"Today, we've read intelligence documents, eyewitness accounts, foreign heads of state, and Secret Service agents all telling the same stories: That lady was unstable and everybody knew it.

"The media just didn't fail us; they lied, mocked, and protected a walking liability with both physical and emotional explosions." . . .

  

All the President’s (Obama’s) Men and Women   "Reporters leapt at the chance to use the Watergate burglary to drive Nixon from office. Obamagate elicits no such urgency."

. . ."Obama never would have become president had it not been for a fawning media exemplified by former MSNBC political commentator Chris Matthews who once admitted that he felt a “thrill going up my leg” when Obama spoke. They won’t turn on him now. Nor will they turn on Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, James Comey, John Brennan, Andrew McCabe, Loretta Lynch, James Clapper, and other officials whom Obama reportedly directed to create a new intelligence assessment that implicated Russia in helping Trump win the presidency in 2016 — because the original intelligence assessment did not support the Trump-Russia collusion story." . . .

Report: Hillary Clinton Was a Little 'Psycho-Emotional,' Given ‘Heavy Tranquilizers’ During 2016 Campaign  "A declassified 2020 House Intelligence Committee report alleges that Russian intelligence claimed Hillary Clinton suffered from "psycho-emotional problems" and was on "heavy tranquilizers" during the 2016 presidential campaign.

"The report, declassified and made public Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, claims information on the former First Lady's fragile emotional state was reportedly kept secret by President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders at the time." . . .

10 Ideas For Better Shows To Replace 'The Late Show' With Stephen Colbert

Babylon Bee

"After announcing the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS is hard at work searching for a better program to replace their old flagship. Here are ten great ideas that would be way better than The Late Show:

1. "Larry The Dying Leper: This show is just watching a man slowly die of leprosy. Way funnier!
2. "Kidney Stone Watch: 90 straight minutes of a dude trying to pass a kidney stone.
3. "That old "KaBoom" infomercial with Billy Mays on loop: Such a classic.
4. "Cemetery Cam: Nothing but a livestream from a camera at a cemetery. Big upgrade, CBS.
5. "The Ingrown Toenail Experience: Way less painful than the "Vax-Scene."
6. "Dora The Explorer: Eh, pretty close call.
7. "Mold: Watch bread slowly grow mold in some family's closet. What an improvement.
8. "Moist Madness: People saying the word "moist" repeatedly for an hour and a half. Much less cringey.
9. "Who Wants To Be An Orphan?: Sad, yes, but still better.
10. "A commie screeching and crying but at the end someone comes out and whacks him with a stick: Sweet.

"So many great options. You're welcome for the help, CBS."

Is Decapitation a Job Americans Won’t Do?

 Ann Coulter

  "The permanent war crowd demand that we get deeply involved in every catastrophe all over the world, just not the catastrophe happening to us. Trump’s slogan, “Make America Great Again!” has never been so apt."

"Oh look, another American’s been beheaded by a Mexican.

This week’s beheader is Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, an illegal alien who, according to the Department of Homeland Security, decapitated 37-year-old Megan Bos, then stashed her body in a bleach storage container. Arrested for the crime in April, Mendoza-Gonzalez was promptly released from custody by Illinois judge Randie Bruno, who is the same physical type — chubby, short-haired, white woman — as the Milwaukee judge charged with helping an illegal sneak out of her courtroom to avoid ICE agents.

"Illinois: sanctuary state for Mexican decapitators.

"Because they’re not busy enough rounding up the 20 million pillars of society Joe Biden allowed to sneak into America, Immigration and Customs Enforcement had to devote time and resources this week to recapturing Mendoza-Gonzalez. Otherwise, you never would have heard about it, and liberals could keep pretending not to know that Mexican drug cartels decapitate people.

"Remember the hilarity that greeted Gov. Jan Brewer back in 2010 for talking about cartels leaving beheaded bodies the Arizona desert?

The left exploded in angry indignation, with mocking cartoons, parodies, fact-checks and blistering headlines in newspapers around the country.

"You’d think she’d accused Mexicans of something totally preposterous, like dominating the Nobel Prizes in physics. Heard of the Aztecs? Human sacrifice and cannibalism were the high points of Mexican culture.

"Politifact ruled Brewer’s claim “PANTS ON FIRE!” saying it was “completely made up and an example of fearmongering of the worst kind used by Brewer to manipulate an already emotional national debate on immigration.”

"The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank’s witty take was: “Ay, caramba! Those dark-skinned foreigners are now severing the heads of fair-haired Americans? Maybe they’re also scalping them or shrinking them or putting them on a spike.”

"Actually, Dana, the scalping and head-shrinking are practices of other primitive cultures that also have no place in an advanced Western society. Mexican culture is the one known for decapitation and dismemberment. Don’t worry — lots of people make that same mistake. After a while, primitive cultures all start to look alike." . . .  More here...

Colbert Clearly Doesn't Have 'It' Anymore

Michael Katz 

"When asked by Darcy whether Colbert dropping the F-bomb on Trump threatened the future of the deal, Carr replied: "lol, no," according to the Post"

"Federal Communications Chair Brendan Carr chided late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert after Colbert made a profane response to President Donald Trump's glee that the comedian's show was being canceled, saying Colbert "clearly doesn't have 'it' anymore."

"In a Friday post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show." In response, Colbert said during his opening monologue Monday, "Go f*** yourself."I think it's just sad," Carr said in response to a text from Oliver Darcy, a journalist for Status News, the New York Post reported Wednesday. "Colbert clearly doesn't have 'it' anymore – if he ever did. I don't know if it's from TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome] or something else.

"He's paid millions of dollars to be funny and entertaining, and he's just not able to make it work. He's gotta feel bad about how the end is playing out."

"CBS announced Thursday that "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" would end in May after the upcoming broadcast season, saying the decision was "purely financial" against a "challenging backdrop in late night" and not  "related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."

"Paramount, CBS' parent company, reached a $16 million settlement with Trump over a heavily edited "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris that attempted to give the former vice president a favorable impression before the 2024 election. The FCC also is weighing a long-awaited $8.4 billion merger between Skydance and Paramount." . . .

Jonathan Turley: Politicians and Pundits Call for an Investigation into Colbert’s Cancelation  "In Washington, Democratic politicians are calling for a congressional investigation, while in New York; the Writers’ Guild is asking New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) for a state probe. No, the issue is not the use of the autopen by Biden staff to carry out presidential functions or the crisis in public education. No, it is the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” by CBS.

"The outrage over the show’s cancellation is the latest example of presumed entitlement from the left, which suggests that the government, universities, and corporations should subsidize their preferred news and entertainment. Call it the NPR syndrome."  MORE

Good News! U.S. Olympic Officials Finally Side With Women

 PJ Media 

According to the Times, "Those new rules still allow trans women to compete, but only in the men’s category. The policy says that nonbinary athletes, transgender men, and intersex athletes will also be limited to competing in the men’s category."

"After years of coming up with ways to dodge the issue, the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) quietly changed its rules about eligibility for the sexes earlier this week. It will now ban "transgender women" from participating in all women's sports. That means that a man who thinks he is or pretends to be a woman can only play with the other guys, and women are safe to compete without worrying about men in their locker rooms or coming at them with unfair advantages on the court, on the field, on the track, in the pool, etc. 

"The new policy is tucked away in the "USOPC Athlete Safety Policy" and doesn't mention trans women or anything of that nature specifically, but it reads:

The USOPC is committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport. The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities, e.g., IOC, IPC, NGBs, to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act, 36 U.S.C § 22501, et. seq. 

"Executive Order 14201, of course, is the one entitled "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports," which President Donald Trump signed in February. It calls for the country to "protect opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports" by rescinding funding to education programs that "deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities." 

" 'The committee’s new policy means that the national governing bodies of sports federations in the United States — which oversee sporting events for all ages, from youth to masters’ competitions — now must follow the USOPC.'s lead, according to several chief executives of sports within the Olympic movement," according to the New York Times. 

"Basically, the governing bodies of each individual sport can't make their own decisions about this topic any longer. 

"For example, last week, USA Fencing changed its own policies to prevent biological men from competing in women's categories. Previously, its biological male athletes could register under whatever sex they wanted as long as they'd completed "one calendar year (12 months) of testosterone suppression treatment.' "  . . .

Tulsi Is About to Drop More Evidence Against Barack Obama

DNI Releases Docs Showing 'Putin Backs Trump' Reports Were Bogus  . . ."The claim that Putin preferred Trump and tried to help him win did not meet professional Intelligence Community standards, according to the documents. The claim was based on "one scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence" from a flawed report.

"That single line became the only classified evidence cited to support the Trump-preference claim." . . .

Legacy media outlets largely silent on Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell Obama administration claims   . . ."CNN mentioned the Gabbard bombshell twice from the time Fox News Digital first reported the news on Friday afternoon through Monday, the first time on Saturday morning and the second time on Monday's installment of "The Lead with Jake Tapper."

"Tapper invited Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., to bash Gabbard's report, insisting she was trying to get back into Trump's good graces after initial intel reports watered down the effectiveness of Trump's airstrike on Iran's nuclear facilities, while also trying to distract the country's attention from the Jeffrey Epstein case. 

"MSNBC, meanwhile, spent more time downplaying Gabbard's report and similarly suggested Republicans are using it to distract from unflattering news.

" 'The latest distraction comes from the national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, who put out a baseless report Friday accusing the Obama administration of manufacturing intelligence that laid the groundwork for the FBI’s Russia probe into Trump," MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin said." . . . 

Office of ex-US president breaks precedent and warns that allegations of attempted ‘coup’ are ‘attempt at distraction’  . . ."The statement went on to criticize claims made in an 11-page document released last week by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, who said she was passing evidence of what she claimed was a “treasonous conspiracy” among Obama national security officials to the justice department, recommending their prosecution." . . .

Tulsi Is About to Drop More Evidence Against Barack Obama  . . ."She didn’t stop there. “We will be pulling a whole host of statements that were made by the Obama administration, by Hillary Clinton, by senior Democrat officials, by their friends in the media,” she said. “They state over and over again after this January 2017 manufactured intelligence document was created that repeat the narrative.”

"Gabbard laid out a damning list of examples. “The New York Times says, ‘Russian hackers acted to aid Trump in the election,’” she quoted. “Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan says, ‘There is strong consensus among us… to support the CIA claim Russian hackers aided Donald Trump’s election.’”

"And of course, Hillary Clinton’s infamous refrain: “I would be president if not for the Russian hackers supporting Donald Trump.”

“ 'There is a vast body of evidence and intelligence that debunks and refutes this statement you’ve just read and others coming from some of the Democrat leaders in Congress today,” Gabbard concluded." . . .  Tulsi Gabbard

John MacArthur: Helping Americans Count Angels on the Heads of Pins; America has lost one of its preeminent Protestant thought leaders.

 The American Spectator  

"Having bequeathed a huge body of scholarship and Biblical exegesis to his subsequent generations, John MacArthur can now count for himself the angels on the heads of pins."

"John McArthur, the de facto leader of one of American Protestantism’s major contemporary wings, died on July 14, 2026, at the age of 86. The son and grandson of preachers, MacArthur was the author of more than 150 books and pamphlets; was still active in the pulpit of his church, Grace Community Church of Sun Valley, California, and head of his Master’s University and Master’s Seminary; and hosted a daily radio program/media ministry, Grace To You.

"For all of MacArthur’s religious activity, including recent “road show” appearances with fellow Fundamentalist and Reform figures, he broke into prominence in the mainstream culture during the panic-ridden COVID days. He steadfastly refused to obey the commands of county and state to close his church, halt services, and institute a mandatory mask-wearing policy. He said that if he were arrested, he would begin a prison ministry when incarcerated. Grace Community eventually was compensated by Gavin Newsom’s California and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to the tune of $800,000.

"This action represented MacArthur’s evolving involvement in politics, which included a statement that all “real Christians” should vote for Donald Trump. Ben Shapiro, on his podcast following MacArthur’s death, paid tribute to a sincere friend and sincere believer in his spiritual foundations. Shapiro recalled how, in one interview, MacArthur spent a full 30 minutes lovingly explaining the Gospel to him, attempting religious conversion. Shapiro, a Jew, was not convinced, but acknowledged MacArthur’s clear respect and concern for the condition of people’s souls.

"In his role as a Bible scholar, he produced a Study Bible, the Legacy Standard Bible, basically an update of the New American Standard version. It has sold more than 2 million copies and has been translated into two dozen languages.

"Through such activities, John MacArthur became prominent beyond his spiritual base, which could roughly be characterized as Reformed. His influence indeed bled far, with his books, appearances, and pulpit activity; assiduously, he taught in weekly sermons the entire Bible, verse by verse, totaling decades of methodical messages. Otherwise, MacArthur’s theology was difficult to label: He was born Baptist; attended Bob Jones University and Biola University; adopted elements of Calvinism, even hyper-Calvinism, including predestinarianism and a pre-millennial eschatology. If a distinction must be drawn, John MacArthur was more a teacher than a preacher" . . .

They Buried the Truth to Destroy Trump

 

Charlton Allen   "Late last week, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a cache of previously classified records shedding new light on the origins of the Russia collusion narrative.

"These documents raise serious questions about whether the American public was deliberately misled during the twilight days of the Obama administration, in what now appears to have been a coordinated effort to undermine the incoming Trump presidency before it even began.

"Discussing these new revelations, Tulsi Gabbard—now Director of National Intelligence—expressed disbelief that special counsels Robert Mueller and John Durham failed to uncover what she calls a “years-long coup” against President Trump.

"As Gabbard put it,

I don’t know what excuse there is for those who supposedly investigated this previously, whether it was Durham or others, that they were not able to put together the dots and ultimately show the truth to the American people.

" "Gabbard emphasized, “There is no rational or logical explanation for why they failed,” suggesting either gross oversight or willful concealment. She is now urging Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to pursue criminal referrals and indictments.

"Washington was still in a stupor in the weeks following the shocking—at least to some—election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States. Precisely a month after Election Day, the next chapter of the story began.

"On December 8, 2016, President Obama was scheduled to receive a classified President’s Daily Brief (PDB) the following day, which would assess Russian interference in the 2016 election. ". . .

Cancelling the Late Late Show; CBS announced it will not replace Stephen Colbert with another chat program. Maybe they could try a comedy show.

The American Spectator  He had ONE job. Just One!

"All Colbert had to do was be funny and maybe ridicule his side sometime in the last four years. You had a walking zombie President, a First Lady Macbeth, a coke-snorting son, a ridiculously woke goon squad, and a yapping media Greek chorus, not one of them spoofed by Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, or Seth Meyers. Kimmel actually shed a tear when announcing Trump’s reelection on his show."

"Last week, Stephen Colbert gave conservatives our first laugh in 10 years of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, when he announced the cancellation of his show. Colbert had been sniping at us for a decade — and at Donald Trump in particular — minus the most effective weapon, comedy. He exchanged it for repellant shrillness. In so doing, he threw away the legacy given him by his immediate predecessor, David Letterman, and the legend before him, Johnny Carson.

"Carson may have been a liberal, but it didn’t matter during his 30-year reign as the king of late-night talk. He mocked people on both ideological sides and made them all laugh. When Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden got exposed for plagiarism, for instance, Carson let him have it in a classic opening monologue:

" 'One of the Democratic candidates is Senator Joseph Biden. Have you seen the problems he’s been having? He went around and made a speech. And apparently, he quoted — I think it was a British politician — took his speech and paraphrased it as his own. And then the press got on him … And Biden said not to worry, he reassured his staff, he said, ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself.’”

"His audience greeted the joke not with the “Woooos” or clapter now commonplace but genuine laughter. And liberals joined in. Because it was funny. And because Americans in 1987 were better educated than those of this generation — mind-numbed by public-school indoctrination or vacuous media. So they instantly got the reference to FDR’s first inaugural address regarding the Great Depression that would confound too many people today."

"That Carson’s gag also made a potential Democratic president look like a boob (talk about forewarning) was par for the course back then. Progressives used to have a sense of humor. But that ended with the rise of censorship under the Obama Administration, when every gag became a trigger — even a rodeo clown wearing an Obama mask.

"Almost overnight, Hollywood turned into Hollywoke, and comedy disappeared. From the big screen, where Bush-era hits like Wedding Crashers (too sexist), Tropic Thunder (too racially-culturally insensitive), and the entire female-driven romcom genre — Notting Hill, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Hitch, 27 Dresses (women don’t need men to be fulfilled, dammit) ceased to be made. From the small screen, especially late night, with Colbert and his clones. Even from the tiny phone screen, when Cancel Culture ruled.

"It seems almost a bad dream that only three years ago, satire could prompt total disappearance from social media with no recourse. Twitter banned the Babylon Bee for naming Biden’s “transgender” Assistant Secretary for Health — the ridiculous Rachel (Richard) Levine — its Man of the Year.  This normalized attack on free speech convinced Elon Musk to buy Twitter and save the precious right. Yet Democrats like Hillary Clinton still call for media censorship. Without moderation, “we lose total control,” she said in a recent interview." . . .
