TV News Anchor Fired For Criticizing Obama

Downtrend

"Last night the cast of the Broadway hit Hamilton accused Vice President-elect Mike Pence of a being a racist homophobic man who will destroy the planet and they will probably get a special Tony award for it. In Houston this week a local news anchorwoman was fired because she made some true critical observations about current president Barack Obama.

"The NY Daily News reports that KRIV has fired news anchor Scarlett Fakhar for a now-deleted personal FaceBook post where she told it like it is concerning Obama dividing the country.

"In response to all of the liberal crybabies complaining about Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton, Fakhar wrote that she was, “happy and relieved.”

“ 'I prayed for the best leader that will turn this country that has become more violent and racist under the Obama administration than ever…into the country I once knew,” wrote Fakhar.

“ 'Want to talk about going down hill? Look what Obama has done…how he was made the entire country hate one another. Were you happy with how many people were killing each other in our own country? I work in news…and I hate to say it…but the number of African Americans killing one another far outweighs the number of them being killed by whites,” she continued.

“ 'And now you have groups murdering police officers both black and white. How did this happen under the Obama administration? You guys wanted another administration like that?” Fakhar asked." . . .

White Lives Matter March Met With Opposing Rally; Law Enforcement Called To The Scene

Wayne Dupree  "I am one to believe All Lives Matter, so if I call out Black Lives Matter, I will do the same for this White Lives Matter movement.

"Stop breaking this nation down by color. We are so much better than that, and when you do break it down by color, then violence follows, don’t you see that? Tensions rise every time these things happen, and I am sick of them, all of them.

"I understand the idea of the White Lives Matter movement listening to the gentlemen in the video below but is it a coincidence that down the street, they were unveiling a statue at the Texas African-American History event?

. . . 

"I don’t support this rally just like I won’t support black lives matter because I am not about separating by color but I understand their reasoning. They are adults so they know they are in for whatever comes their way.

"I’ll be so glad when Barack Obama leaves office. Nothing but his policies have given way to these actions. America needs to just stop, reset and move forward with a better outlook and positive direction. We can’t do that with the infection still sitting in the White House." . . .

Anti-Trump Protesters UNLEASH Electoral College Members’ PERSONAL Information On Internet!

Terresa Monroe-Hamilton  "This is called doxing. The #NotMyPresident Alliance has dug up the personal information of Electoral College members in states that voted Republican and has released it to their thuggish supporters. Their mission, should they choose to accept it (and they have), is to ‘persuade’ these voters to switch their votes from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton. How many times do I have to tell these idiots that it is not going to happen? I don’t think even violence would do the trick. In fact, this is going to solidify their votes for Trump.

"They delivered this information via a Google doc spreadsheet to I don’t know how many people out there. Some of them are most likely unstable as that is the calling card of the Left. I think the authorities should go after these people with at the very least a warning. A few of the electors are not totally committed on their vote yet and are being severely targeted. One guy in Arizona, who is definitely voting for Trump, in one day got 60 calls and over 1500 emails. It’s sheer harassment." . . .

Father Of Slain California Soldier Says Airline Passengers Booed Him On Flight Home…

Weasel Zippers

"Poor snowflakes’ flight was delayed and they acted out.

"Via CBS13:

The father of a slain Stockton soldier is speaking out after he says his family was booed on the flight to bring his son’s body home from Afghanistan.

Sgt. John Perry died on Saturday in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber.

Stewart Perry is a father mourning the loss of a son at a service on Thursday.

“Most importantly, I want people to know about the heroic thing that my son did,” he said.

His son stumbled on the suicide bomber before he could reach his target—a soldiers’ 5K Veterans Day run.

“He would have killed 100, 200, who knows?” he said.

Perry says his son’s death comes comes at a time military service is facing disrespect. He says his family was even booed on the flight to bring his son’s body home over a delay.

“To hear the reaction of the flight being delayed because of a Gold Star family, and the first class cabin booing that was really upsetting, and it made us cry some more,” he said.

Perry says his son’s death also underscores why the American flag is sacred for service members, not just a symbol for protest.

“It’s not for protest—it’s for the death of the people that are saving us. That’s what it’s for,” he said.

Trump and the media

eaglerising

The media are telling us how to think and they want us to think badly of Trump.  "The same crowd that tried to push him around is now trying to order him around. They think they own Trump.

"At about the same time that Mayor de Blasio lectured Trump on how to behave, the press boys and girls read him the riot act because he failed to report back to them when he sneaked out for a steak at 21 Club. They too instructed Trump on how to behave, which amounts to galloping chutzpah." . . .  

Geraldo Rivera: I Have Never Seen ‘the Mainstream Media … Be So Partisan’  . . . "Rivera said on “Fox & Friends” in the wake of allegations that Trump inappropriately touched or kissed several women years ago.

. . . "Earhardt noted that on Thursday night, ABC, NBC, and CBS all devoted a significant amount of time to the allegations – up to nine minutes on ABC and NBC and five minutes on CBS, while only devoting seconds – 30 on ABC, 26 on CBS and none on NBC – to Wikileaks’ leaked Clinton emails."

The New York Times “Rededication” Must Address Middle East Reporting

Will the newspaper heed the call of one of its former editors to stop treating Palestinians as “just victims”? Will it sufficiently cover and fully explore the role played by Palestinian incitement to violence and continued rejection of a Jewish state in the Middle East in the continued conflict? Or will it continue to advocate for Palestinians? If the latter, don’t hold your breath for changes in any of the other contentious topics covered by the newspaper.

Fake News and Our Cultural Crisis

"False stories on Facebook are worrisome, but the mainstream media’s own distortion of the truth is worse."

. . . "What do I mean by that? Just take a look at the past week’s worth of false media narratives:
1. "The Trump administration is in disarray." . . .
2. "Trump is already showing signs of unsavory nepotism." . . .
3. "Steve Bannon is a white nationalist like David Duke. Yes, Breitbart has championed the alt-right. But the evidence is not nearly as clear as the media have made it seem." . . .

Pat Caddell: CNN ‘Smearing’ Trump Supporters — ‘They Just Call Everybody a Racist’  . . . "Caddell said, “What they have not admitted is their complicity in Hillary Clinton’s campaign, or their unbelievable bias, and worse, their smearing of people, including Steve Bannon and others so that they could make some political points.”

"He laid the blame on having someone from Hollywood like Jeff Zucker running the network. “I don’t think it will go very well if that continues,” said Caddell. “They need to start with, ‘Hey, we did some not very professional things during this campaign,'” he added.

"It was CNN’s Donna Brazile who provided questions to Hillary Clinton’s campaign before a scheduled debate.

"Caddell said, “They need to start a new, clean effort to inform the American people, not to dictate to them. This is the loss of journalism.' ” . . .

The Two Americas, Graphically Illustrated

PJ Media

. . . "Hillary's America, by contrast, is minuscule -- only 15 percent of the American land mass, according to the Times.

Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly won the cities, like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City, but Mr. Trump won many of the suburbs, isolating the cities in a sea of Republican voters. Mrs. Clinton’s island nation has large atolls and small island chains with liberal cores, like college towns, Native American reservations and areas with black and Hispanic majorities. While the land area is small, the residents here voted for Mrs. Clinton in large enough numbers to make her the winner of the overall popular vote.

"Click on the link for a map showing just how small her geographic appeal is. At the current count, she beat Trump in the popular vote, but that doesn't matter -- to win a presidential race, it depends on where you get the votes, not how many overall. "

This is NOT my father's Democrat Party and we must get America out from under it's thumb!

People want to be part of this administration. And you're seeing a number of these quality-caliber-type people come in and out, share their ideas with him, and then he is able to sit back and figure out who will be the best people to help enact that vision.'

Trump Mandate: Save the US Navy



. . . "Political ship naming. Throwing away ship­naming convention, this Secretary named a U.S. warship after Democrat Congressman John Murtha, an appropriator who gave money to the Pentagon, was an “unindicted co­conspirator” in the FBI’s “Abscam” investigation, and on whom public corruption questions still circulate. The move was flagrantly political. It was compounded by naming another ship after Mexican­ American political activist, Cesar Chavez, who disdained the Navy. Then a combat ship for former Democrat Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford, icon of gun control. This year, ships for Democrat Congressman John Lewis, and Democrat gay rights activist Harvey Milk. This Secretary chose party over Navy. 

"Social engineering. Taking from George Orwell, he unilaterally ended the longstanding suffix “­ man” on all Navy ratings, some dating to the American Revolution, and led a public relations policy focused on “gender­neutralizing.” Public discussion shifted from big issues – readiness, procurement reform, timely ship delivery, ship capability, cyber­security and re­grounding Navy morale – to fringe fancies, such as “transgender” training and bathrooms, sex changes and overruling US Marine Corps advice for headlines.

SHOPPERS: Stores DROP Ivanka’s Products Over Trump Win – Should They Be BOYCOTTED?

TOTUS

Doug Giles  "Stores are showing their true (blue) colors as they pull Ivanka’s products from shelves. Putting politics before profit, let’s see how that works out.

"Disgruntled Liberals have started a campaign called #GrabYourWallet to boycott Trump-related products. Oddly, feminists are REALLY upset about Ivanka’s line of products and are demanding that they be pulled from store shelves.

"A Marketing professional from the San Francisco Bay area, Shannon Coulter, came up with #GrabYourWallet boycott after the Access Hollywood video was released. She then targeted retailers that supported Trump:

@shannoncoulter @neimanmarcus Neiman Marcus: Please remove your Ivanka collection. It invokes the trauma of sexual assault. #Ivankant

— Amy Andelora (@andelorable) October 13, 2016

"Shoes.com, a Canadian online retailer, was the first to ‘dump Trump’ under the #GrabYourWallet boycott."

Doug Giles, author of the Amazon.com best-selling book, Pussification: The Effeminization Of The American Male, wants to help moribund millennials who can’t function since Trump’s election.

Progressives’ Anti-Christian Bigotry Helped Make Trump President

National Review

"They have only themselves to blame for driving away millions of Evangelicals."

. . . "There is a pervasive feeling among American Christians that secular progressives will actively seek out new and creative ways to persecute and marginalize them."
. . . 
"Millions of American Christians understand that if you work for a state or local governments — or even for private companies — publicly vocalizing traditional Christian views of sexual morality can cost you your job, even as outspoken support for radically new sexual morality is lauded. If you start a Christian group on campus, administrators by the hundreds will deem you “discriminatory” and “bigoted” for daring to assert that it should be run by Christians. Meanwhile, liberal activist groups operate with impunity, often coordinating their well-funded efforts with university administrators and faculty."
. . .
"If you’re a Christian who runs a business, you’re exactly one decision or one statement away not just from vicious social-media shame campaigns and boycotts but also from vengeful state action that could close your store and bankrupt your family.

"If you’re a Christian applying for a job in higher education, you can expect doors to be slammed in your face, less-qualified candidates to enjoy greater opportunities, and hostile faculties and administrations to sometimes ask probing or even illegal questions about your “bigotry.' ”

Anti-Trump Protesters Release Personal Info of Electoral College Members

Weasel Zippers

"We reported how a google spreadsheet was first posted by Twitter account, @VoteHillary2016 whose admin is Steve Rosinki, a man connected to the Clinton campaign. Shortly thereafter, reports started coming in of electors being harassed and intimidated. It appears the spreadsheet has made it down to the rank and file to continue harassing the electors.

"Via Free Beacon:

A national anti-Donald Trump group called the #NotMyPresident Alliance distributed the personal information of dozens of Electoral College members to its supporters on Wednesday through a Google doc spreadsheet.

The Electoral College members targeted were those who represented states that voted Republican, BuzzFeed reported.

A spreadsheet distributed to supporters Wednesday included the personal phone numbers, addresses, religions, races, genders, and candidate preference of the electors. The document does not have a complete set of data on every elector.

The group hopes that its members and citizens around the country will contact electors and persuade them to change their vote from Donald Trump to another candidate before Dec. 19, when electors cast their votes. The group does not advocate for Hillary Clinton or any other specific candidate, rather asking protesters to encourage electors from each state to a consensus that isn’t Trump.

ESPN’s Public Editor Agrees With Viewers That Network ‘Has Moved Leftward’

....when a company as influential as ESPN picks up and moves an event because of statements made by a presidential candidate, it’s hard to see how it can be read by anyone as anything other than a political statement.

Newsbusters "ESPN Public Editor Jim Brady on Election Eve surveyed complaints that the sports network had gone overboard with liberal pieties, frustrating long-time watchers by injecting politics onto the plahing field. He agreed with conservative complaints that ESPN had shifted leftward, though the company brass and at least one outspoken lefty personality didn’t see a problem: "One notion that virtually everyone I spoke to at ESPN dismisses is what some have perceived as unequal treatment of conservatives who make controversial statements vs. liberals who do the same.' "
. . . 

"Brady talked to ESPN President John Skipper, who painted the progressive politics as noncontroversial tolerance:

Inside ESPN, however, some feel the lack of tolerance of a particular political philosophy is a problem.

"We've done a great job of diversity,” said longtime ESPN anchor Bob Ley. “But the one place we have miles to go is diversity of thought."

Many ESPN employees I talked to -- including liberals and conservatives, most of whom preferred to speak on background -- worry that the company’s politics have become a little too obvious, empowering those who feel as if they’re in line with the company’s position and driving underground those who don’t.

“If you’re a Republican or conservative, you feel the need to talk in whispers,” one conservative ESPN employee said. “There’s even a fear of putting Fox News on a TV [in the office].”

Emphases in the original.
