MSNBC makes a doomed, woke rebrand

Mike McDaniel 

So, MSNBC is now MS NOW! It’s the same lunatic leftist talking heads pushing the same “Trump is Hitler, a dictator and he’s destroying 'our democracy,'” hair on fire hysteria that caused viewers and NBC to dump them.

"In the last several years, rebranding has turned formerly successful businesses into wrecks. Woke executives who hadn’t a clue about their company’s customers tried to improve what wasn’t broken and it blew up in their faces. Budweiser lost billions. So did Target, and Cracker Barrel—Cracker Barrel?!—has leapt off the cliff into the bottomless DEI pit. No one yet knows what Jaguar intended with its bizarre commercial featuring colorful but blank faced mutants of ambiguous gender, cavorting and wielding a sledgehammer without a car in sight. On X, Elon Musk quickly asked whether Jaguar had anything to do with cars. Jaguar replied “yes,” but has produced nothing to support that contention. Jaguar compounded that disaster by announcing it is going all-electric as the planet-wide electric vehicle doom loop is closing, probably for good, leaving Jaguar dealers with nothing to sell in the meantime.

"MSNBC, commonly known as MSDNC, has always been painfully woke. During its glory days it paid Rachel Maddow an obscene salary for a single weekly pro-Democrat/Harris, anti-Trump/America rant. Immediately after Trump’s reelection, things went from bad to worse:  

MSNBC’s ratings have tanked 54% in the days after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris — a win that left MSNBC’s staunchly anti-Trump hosts speechless.

The ratings are down 40% from this time last year, according to Nielsen data.

"Maddow reportedly lost at least $5 million in yearly salary, and was forced to do more than one weekly rant virtually no one was watching. The future looked grim:" . . . More...

"Maddow, who was initially popular, was one of the primary hawkers of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. She assured her viewers the walls were closing in on Trump any minute, really, no kidding, any minute now, probably right after this commercial, so stay tuned. And viewers did, until Trump was reelected and viewers who believed Maddow were stunned. So stunned they stayed stunned and tuned Maddow out."

France Summons U.S. Envoy After Rebuke of Macron: ‘Palestinian State Push Rewards Hamas, Endangers Jews

Would this be the same France that surrendered meekly to Hitler in 1940 and took an active part in sending their own Jewish citizens to Polish Nazi concentration camps to be killed? TD

How France’s Vichy Regime Became Hitler’s Willing Collaborators; 

Breitbart 

The ambassador’s letter suggests Washington intends to make protection of Jewish communities a central element of its diplomatic pressure on European allies. 

 "France summoned U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner on Sunday after he published a scathing open letter in the Wall Street Journal to President Emmanuel Macron, accusing the French government of failing to adequately combat rising antisemitism and warning that “public statements haranguing Israel embolden extremists.”

"The diplomatic confrontation escalates tensions between Washington and Paris over France’s approach to Jewish safety and Middle East policy, with Kushner’s Wall Street Journal letter — dated Monday, August 25, but released to the press late Sunday afternoon — marking an extraordinary public rebuke from a sitting U.S. envoy to his host nation’s leader ...

... "The ambassador painted a grim picture of French Jewish life, declaring that “antisemitism has long scarred French life, but it has exploded since Hamas’s barbaric assault on Oct. 7, 2023.” He continued: “In France, not a day passes without Jews assaulted in the street, synagogues or schools defaced, or Jewish-owned businesses vandalized. Your own Interior Ministry has reported antisemitic incidents even at preschools.”

Kushner then delivered his most pointed criticism of Macron’s Middle East policy: “Public statements haranguing Israel and gestures toward recognition of a Palestinian state embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France. In today’s world, anti-Zionism is antisemitism—plain and simple.”

Drawing on his personal connection to President Donald Trump, Kushner wrote: “President Trump and I have Jewish children and share Jewish grandchildren. I know how he feels about antisemitism, as do all Americans.” He detailed Trump’s current aggressive anti-antisemitism measures: “He directed the Education Department to enforce civil-rights protections for Jewish students on university campuses, making clear that harassment and discrimination won’t be tolerated.”

The letter outlined additional Trump administration actions: “He expanded resources for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security to safeguard synagogues and Jewish schools. He ordered strict vetting to bar entry for foreigners espousing antisemitic hatred and revoked visas for foreign agitators. He oversaw the deportation of Hamas sympathizers and cut funding to organizations promoting antisemitic incitement.” . . .

DEI harms black women; Biden's appointments were horrible and cast shade on worthy black women

Don Surber

"50 years later, we are stuck with these nincompoops. And their moral turpitude makes it much harder for people like Carol Swain and Winsome Earle-Sears to maintain credibility."

"Biden picked Kamala Harris as vice president because she was a black woman.

"Biden picked Ketanji Brown Jackson as a Supreme Court justice because she was a black woman.

"Biden picked Lisa Cook as a Federal Reserve governor because she was a black woman.

"Those are his words, not mine. He picked tokens who had two qualities besides their skin color and sex: 1. They had to be socialists (the kinder, gentler communists) and 2. they had to be dumber than him.

"Cook is in trouble because she lied on her mortgage application and she is a plagiarist. PhD now stands for Plagiarized Her Diploma.

"President Trump wants her to resign from the Federal Reserve.

"But liberals are banking on her skin color and sex shielding her from the consequences of her own dishonesty. Smart money is on her surviving in a nation saturated by white guilt.

"The New York Times reported:

Lisa Cook, Who Broke Ground at the Fed, Faces Attack by Trump

The first black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve board, Ms. Cook has long been a pathbreaker in a field dominated by white men.

"NYT has gone full Louis Farrakhan in calling my race white devils.

"The reason white men dominate economics is black women are not taking classes that involve math. The American Association of University Women reported:

The top majors of Black students include: health and medical administration services (21%); human services and community organization (20%); social work (19%); public administration (17%); criminal justice and fire protection (15%); sociology (14%); computer and information systems (14%); human resources and personnel management (14%); interdisciplinary social sciences (13%); and pre-law and legal studies (13%). . . .">From Karen Bass in LA to Michelle Wu in Boston, first women of color make terrible mayors. The feds recently indicted New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell for corruption.

. . . "Mayor Henyard sucked at corruption. You have to be pretty bad when a lightweight like Lightfoot catches you.

"From Karen Bass in LA to Michelle Wu in Boston, first women of color make terrible mayors. The feds recently indicted New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell for corruption.

"Ending racial discrimination was noble but also practical because we stopped having to hire incompetents because they were white men."

All qualifying to be commentators on MSNBC, or whatever their name is MSnow.

This Is How You Know Dems Might Be Panicking Over That Sign Attacking Winsome Sears

 Townhall   

"Also, this woman stuck around. It’s not like she was asked to leave. All the tactics liberals have used to cancel people are now eating their own." 

Arlington Dems’ Chairman Steve Baker was in plain sight of Anita Martineau’s racist sign, hours before he whispered to hide it since it was going viral. They all thought it was clever, until called out the racism. @SpanbergerForVA’s supporters were ALL in for boys & men in girls’ bathrooms, until the sign was a liability. DON’T pretend the apology is sincere.

"It’s moments like this that end campaigns. Terry McAuliffe sealed his fate against Glenn Youngkin after he imploded in the debates, where he went full communist on education and parental rights, saying parents shouldn’t have a say in what schools teach their children.

"The ‘We own your kids’ attitude killed him. In 2025, Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Sears addressed a meeting of the Arlington County School Board after a sex offender gained access to a girls’ restroom at a local high school, claiming to be transgender. Of course, rich white liberals came out to rally for this insanity to continue. And one sign made the event go viral: some woman had a poster that said, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.”

"Democrats are going back to their Klan roots. It caused an issue, though the woman claimed it was done as satire. And like Democrats on messaging, it missed the mark by 137 miles. Arlington Democrats condemned the sign and tried to create some distance, but their remarks got a bit funny when they said this woman is not affiliated with them. Guys, we know she’s likely not part of the organization proper, but she supports you. Whether or not that’s fair or not is a moot point since liberals made it that way—this would be national news, with MSNBC and CNN special segments if the parties were switched."

Virginia Democrat Party Vice Chair: 'It's Winsome Sears' Fault That We're So Racist'  There are many anti-Sears posts, but we chose this as the definitive Democrat post. 

Marc Broklawski: What happened in Arlington wasn’t just about a meeting. It was about the climate Winsome Sears is creating, one where contempt is currency and neighbors are turned against each other.    @SpanbergerForVA  is running on something stronger: a Virginia where we solve problems, not invent enemies. https://marcbroklawski.substack.com/p/two-climates

Tulsi Strips Security Clearances From 37 Deep State Officials Tied to Trump-Russia Hoax – Here’s the Full List

 The Gateway Pundit  "ODNI Tulsi Gabbard stripped security clearances from 37 Deep State officials tied to the Trump-Russia hoax.

"Clapper’s aide Vinh Nguyen was among the 37 stripped of his security clearance.

“Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic,” Tulsi said.

Democrat Rep. Al Green Is Fired. His Response Was to Call It Racist. Rioting and burning begins in three...two...one...

 The Gateway Pundit 

 "The redistricting fixed that imbalance by shifting power back to districts with legal residents. Al Green’s district, packed with non-citizen populations, was rightly dissolved."

But what will Jasmine and AOC say?

Representative Al Green, who has served Texas’s 9th Congressional District since 2005, will finally leave office. 

"The Texas Legislature, led by Republicans, passed a legal redrawing of congressional maps that effectively eliminates District 9. Green, best known not for legislation but for shouting down President Trump during his address to Congress in March 2025, will be removed from office after nearly two decades of loud, ineffective, and divisive politics.

"Unsurprisingly, Rep. Al Green called the redistricting racist. But the only racial injustice here is the Democrat Party’s decades-long abuse of district lines to cling to power.

"In his angry press release, Green declared that the elimination of his district—along with TX-18, TX-29, and TX-33—was part of a “racist, unconstitutional scheme” led by President Trump’s Justice Department and Attorney General Ken Paxton.

"Green compared Texas Republicans to segregation-era racists and claimed that the GOP was targeting Black and Hispanic communities because “they elect people of color.” But that accusation falls apart under even basic scrutiny.

"Redistricting is legal. It happens every ten years following the census—but Texas law also allows mid-decade redistricting, something Democrats took advantage of in the 1990s.

"When Democrats controlled Texas politics, they created gerrymandered maps that were explicitly race-based. In 1991, under Governor Ann Richards and State Senator Eddie Bernice Johnson, Democrats drew new maps to form majority-Black and majority-Hispanic districts to keep their power intact." . . .More...

 Hamas: Islamists aren't like us  

The Democrat Party has willingly painted itself into an antisemitic corner, and it’s in no hurry to extricate itself. Zohran Mamdani, a notorious Islamist antisemite and Communist is poised to become the mayor of New York City, the city with the highest Jewish population in America. Most national Democrats aren’t endorsing him—not yet anyway—but they’re certainly not disavowing him either. He’s a darling of the Democrat Base, which has become increasingly anti-American and has always been antisemitic."

 "Hamas, like all Islamists, is not like us. They utterly reject the values of Western Civilization. If change is at all possible for them it’s going to take generations. In the meantime, it’s us or them." . . . 

. . . "David has been held hostage more than 666 days. Many Democrats continue to deny October 7th, with its inhuman savagery, occurred. Others avoid mentioning it as they and their media propaganda arm credulously accept every lie Hamas feeds them.

"It’s part of their belief system, the eternal oppressor/oppressed narrative that must, of necessity, deny objective reality. America and Israel are evil oppressors. Israel is an occupier of land the Palestinians—a made up people—have never possessed, and the UN is a trustworthy, honest broker for peace." . . .

Now Comes the California Fire Sale: China-Based Company Is Buying Up Land Incinerated by Firestorms

"California Democrats have turned down at least three proposed laws to limit or ban foreign ownership of large amounts of land. Assembly Bill 475 would have halted foreign land ownership within 50 miles of military installations, and Senate Bill 224 would have, had it passed, stopped foreign governments from a controlling interest in agricultural land. The legislature did pass, however, Senate Bill 1084, in 2022, that would have restricted ownership of California agricultural land. 

How silly must voters be to take the following seriously?   . . . "Gavin Newsom vetoed it, saying the feds were already handling the problem. The Biden administration wasn't." . . .

"That’s not what Newsom did. He mocked and minimized the suffering of out-of-work Americans. 

"He doesn’t realize it yet, but he just cut his own throat.

"Gov. Newsom governed over a state that literally caught on fire, was mired in riots, lost 1.4 million residents between 2020 and 2024, and is overwrought with crime, violence, drugs, and public defecation. But none of that stuff is gonna doom his 2028 presidential bid!

"Instead, his downfall will come from something stupid: his social media feed.

"Ain’t that the way?" . . .

California Voters Might Just Be Too Far Gone to Be Helped  . . . "A new poll makes one thing perfectly clear: California voters want corruption and waste to keep rolling—and they’ve elected a governor eager to oblige. For some reason, more than six in ten residents still back Gavin Newsom pouring money into the high-speed rail project that hasn’t laid a single mile of usable track in 17 years—even though most of them know they’ll never actually see it run.

"The project, originally promised to be finished by 2020 with a price tag of $33 billion, has since been bumped to a 2033 partial opening with a staggering $128 billion price tag—nearly four times the initial estimate. Yet the voters, particularly Democrats, stubbornly cling to hope, funneling state money into what can only be described as an unending black hole of government waste." . . .

SCOTUS Justice Jackson Writes Opinions For Her Media Fanbase, Not Everyday Americans

The Federalist  

“One of the things I say … is that genius is not putting a … 10-cent idea in a $20 sentence. Genius is putting a $20 idea in a 10-cent sentence. It is to make it [as] accessible as possible to average people,” Thomas said. “I think we owe it to people.”

"In roughly three years, Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has established herself as one of the most recognized members of the Supreme Court — and not in a good way.

"Despite being the most junior justice on the high court, Jackson has regularly gone out of her way to thumb her nose at her colleagues for upholding America’s constitutional framework. Whether it be through public comments or poorly written opinions, the Biden appointee has shown little respect for the longstanding traditions and collegiality that have defined SCOTUS for generations.

"The latest example of this came on Thursday, when the Supreme Court temporarily stayed (in part) a lower court block on the National Institutes of Health’s bid to terminate DEI-related contracts. The court’s ruling was 5-4, with Jackson joining Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan in siding against the Trump administration.

"In addition to signing onto Roberts’ opinion, Jackson penned a 21-page screed — which is longer than all the other justices’ opinions combined — denouncing the majority’s decision to partially grant the Trump administration’s request to pause the lower court’s order. Employing the writing style of a left-wing activist, the Biden appointee claimed that her colleagues’ decision is the “newest iteration” of the high court’s “lawmaking on the emergency docket.”

“ 'Stated simply: With potentially life-saving scientific advancements on the line, the Court turns a nearly century-old statute aimed at remedying unreasoned agency decisionmaking into a gauntlet rather than a refuge,” Jackson wrote.

"While it’s not uncommon for justices to explain their disagreements and problems with the opposing side’s legal rationale in their opinions, Jackson’s dissent (and this isn’t the first time) takes on another level of snide that’s unbecoming of a junior justice. She went on to effectively accuse her colleagues in the majority of abandoning all semblance of proper jurisprudence and respect for the law in order to bend over backwards for the Trump administration.

“This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist,” Jackson wrote. “Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.”. . .  More...

The Day Gavin Newsom Cut His Own Throat

 PJ Media 

The man has no style of his own; he copies that of successful people and claims he is trolling them,TD

 

"Gavin Newsom might not be Bill Clinton’s intellectual equal, but don’t dismiss the California governor as a dim bulb: He’s absolutely, 100% bright enough to handle the “intellectual rigors” of the presidency. (Such as they are.) He looks the part, sounds the part, and is brimming with ambition. According to the latest polls, his stance in the Great Gerrymander War of 2025 has propelled him to the top of the 2028 Democratic short list. 

"Finally, at long last, he’s in the driver’s seat for his party’s presidential nomination!

. . . "And among those tactics was mimicking President Donald Trump’s tone and style on social media. Liberals loved it! To them, Newsom was “fighting fire with fire,” turning the screws on the Troller-in-Chief. The mainstream media showered him with praise:

. . . Huffpost: Gavin Newsom Is Talking Like Trump — And It’s Infuriating The Right . . .

. . . "In Newsom’s mind, he was pulling a page from — of all things — the Gospel of Rush Limbaugh: Illustrating absurdity by being absurd. Posting on X in all-caps and acting like a manic weirdo was Newsom’s attempt to hold a mirror to President Trump.

"But there’s an enormous difference between imitators and originals: The former is performative and surface-level; the latter is the genuine article. One is anchored to something firm and real; the other conflates style with substance.

“I’ll tell you a little secret about the blues,” said George Carlin. “It’s not enough to know which notes to play. You’ve got to know why they needed to be played.”

Same applies to social media. Because otherwise, it’s just noise — and at some point, your 29-year-old, blue-haired social media guru (who majored in cultural anthropology, because of course she did) would overstep in a ham-handed attempt at “trolling” comedy.
