Disney fired Gina Carano from "The Mandalorian" for the "sin of not bowing to the Woke Left"

Disney fired Gina Carano from "The Mandalorian" for the sin of not bowing to the Woke Left 

"Disney wants you to know they stand for diVeRsiTy and iNcLuSioN.  

"Unless you disagree with any point of Wokeism for any period of time, that is. 

"Gina Carano – pro MMA fighter and actress on the hit Star Wars show, The Mandalorian – was fired by Disney on Wednesday over an Instagram post they said was "abhorrent and unacceptable."

"If you're not familiar with Gina or her character "Cara Dune," here's a summary:"

"See her post and tell us if there is antisemitism in it: 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the star actress, who is a well-known conservative, on the Disney+ show was fired “after sharing a post on social media implying that being a Republican today is like being Jewish during the Holocaust.”

 Yahoo News . . . "Carano — whose agency has also parted ways with the actress — has yet to comment on her firing, which was spurred by a since-deleted Instagram post that likened being a modern-day conservative to the experience of Jews during the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. But her cause has been taken up by right-wing figures like Ted Cruz who are eager to portray her as another victim of cancel culture. Some have also noted that Carano’s co-star Pedro Pascal drew allusions between Trump supporters and Nazis and Confederate soldiers in a since-deleted Instagram post in November, but hasn’t faced the same repercussions." . . .

"The world IS open but no one is allowed to work. Working is a right you, as an American have. It gives us purpose, focus, pride and most importantly a way to support the ones we love. People are dropping like flies from depression and suicide, overdoses, MURDER. Enough already." Then we have this one: "Open up your businesses & churches. Put whatever regulations you want to because that is your right but open them up. You’re telling me Covid-19 knows the difference between a protest or praise & worship. I haven’t even been to church in over a decade but I sure would go now."

Kamala Harris Joked About Killing Trump, Pence

Newsmax  "Vice President Kamala Harris once joked on national television about killing former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence.

"In a Twitter post Wednesday, political activist Jack Posobiec shared a video of Harris on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in early 2018.

"The then-senator from California was asked a question that served as the setup for a kind of cage-match quip: If she had to be stuck in an elevator with Trump, Pence, or former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, which one would she pick?

" 'Does one of us have to come out alive?" Harris responded.

"Harris laughed loudly as the show's crowd applauded enthusiastically.

"Posobiec's tweet came with former President Donald Trump under scrutiny for inciting violent behavior by supporters. Wednesday was the second day in a Senate trial for Trump, who was impeached by the House and has been accused of encouraging protesters to join a violent siege on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Five deaths have been linked to the siege, including one Capitol Police officer." . . .

Biden’s appeasement of Iran begins

 Power Line Blog "Joe Biden is determined to appease Iran, and the appeasement has already commenced. Its public manifestation centers now on Yemen, and the Houthi rebels there.

"The Houthis have long received considerable Iranian financial and military support, including in recent years cruise missiles and drones. They have used Iranian weaponry not just against the government of Yemen, but also against Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Iran’s arch enemies and allies of the U.S.

"Thus, as John Bolton says, the Houthis are a threat to the oil-producing Gulf monarchies. As is Iran, of course." . . .

A brain-eating toxin has invaded the Capitol.

Establishment Media Express Collective Outrage over Democrats’ Impeachment Video . . . Impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who previously objected to results from Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, showed a dramatic video that spliced together Trump’s statements with protesters who attacked the Capitol.

"The video, for example, edited out Trump’s remark to his supporters to “peacefully make their voices heard.”

"Nevertheless, journalists sounded off: . . .

One person escapes the brain-eaters at the Senate impeachment trial spectacle

Only one answer suffices.  A brain-eating toxin has invaded the Capitol.

. . . "And only one person escaped its ravages: Chief Justice John Roberts.

"John Roberts, maligned and belittled for his squishy jurisprudence, this time was the only person who actually read the U.S. Constitution and abided by its words.  Only Roberts had the common sense to socially distance himself from the bonfire of insanity.

"And those 44 senators who by their presence sanctioned a "vote" to quash a proceeding that would examine the existence of Donald Trump as a witch should have instead escaped with John Roberts to enjoy a cigar, and a splash of bourbon, along with a game of billiards, or a bowling tournament."

France expresses alarm about America’s drift into left-wing radicalism

"When the French think you're tilting left, you're about to capsize."  Daniel F. Melton

Via Current Affairs

Liberty Unyielding  "America has moved to the left so rapidly that Europeans are now expressing alarm about it. As journalist Glenn Greenwald notes, “Obama-endorsed French President Emmanuel Macron has joined numerous French intellectuals & journalists in warning that ‘out-of-control woke leftism of US campuses and its attendant cancel culture’ poses a grave threat due to the social strife it creates.”

"Greenwald links to a New York Times article that asks, “Will American ideas tear France apart? Some think so. Politicians and prominent intellectuals say” that left-wing “social theories from the United States on race, gender, and post-colonialism are a threat” to French unity and stability:

"French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas — specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism — are undermining their society. “There’s a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,’’ warned Mr. Macron’s education minister.

"Emboldened by these comments, prominent intellectuals have banded together against what they regard as contamination by the out-of-control woke leftism of American campuses and its attendant cancel culture…..

Students at Catholic Georgetown U. Protest Appearance by MLK’s Pro-Life Niece

 Legal Insurrection

Student activists at Georgetown University, a Catholic school, have decided that Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., should be condemned after speaking there.

Her crimes? She is pro-life and supported President Trump.

Hank Berrien writes at the Daily Wire:

Student Activists At Catholic University Protest MLK’s Pro-Life, Trump-Supporting Niece

Self-described “pro-choice” students at Georgetown University have demanded that the Catholic university “publicly condemn” the pro-life speakers who participated in the Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life in late January. Among the speakers singled out by the student activists is Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whom the students accused of “promot[ing] bigotry and hatred.”

“The conference, which bills itself as ‘the largest student-run, pro-life conference in the nation,’ has been held at Georgetown for more than two decades,” Angela Morabito of Campus Reform noted.

"Here’s an excerpt of the petition attacking King:

Speaker Alveda King is Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece. However, unlike her uncle who preached tolerance and justice, Alveda King promotes bigotry and hatred. She uses her platform to publicly promote extreme anti-LGBTQ ideologies: she has compared same-sex marriage to genocide, compared homosexuality to fatness, and written that same-sex marriage and abortions cause natural disasters. She is also an avowed Trump supporter, and has publicly and continuously countered allegations condemning Trump for being racist, tweeting “President Trump is not a racist!! He is one of the best presidents America has ever seen! I fully support him!”

Furthermore, she has referred to abortions as “womb-lynchings,” stating that “lynching is not a sacred cow reserved for the lamentations of descendants of black slaves in America.” In addition, she has publicly voiced her opposition to the Black Lives Matter Organization, inaccurately claiming that it supports “genocide and mayhem.' ” . . .

Fox News Reporter's Exchange with 'Circle Back' Psaki Shows Once Again How We Got Trump

"There's that refreshing condescending tone toward energy sector workers that led to 8 years of Donald Trump. I've missed this." Stephen L. Miller

 Townhall  "Should we be shocked? No. Joe Biden cannot help coal miners or workers on the Keystone Pipeline. The Environmental Left won’t allow it. These people think these jobs are in some way immoral, killing the planet, and, therefore, should die out. They don’t care about the workers or the families that will be left destitute. They don’t need to — the folks who think this way are coastal elitists. The problem with the Democratic Party ethos is that people who don’t have college degrees or are part of the working class simply can't do something else, like make solar panels. John Kerry exposed his liberal elitism when he pretty much said that the people who lost their jobs were dumb, to begin with, but don’t worry — solar energy will save them. How? Those jobs pay $20,000 less than oil and natural gas.

"Fox News reporter Peter Doocy sparred with White House Press Secretary Jen "circle back" Psaki over green jobs, once again showing how Donald Trump became a political phenomenon. Also, she didn’t answer Doocy's question. Curtis Houck at Newsbusters clipped the exchange, particularly the part where Doocy noted how Biden climate czars Gina McCarthy and John Kerry have gone underground after both figures made idiotic remarks about what to do about the tens of thousands of those who have lost jobs or no longer have such prospects thanks to Joe Biden’s executive orders." . . .

No, the 2020 Election Wasn’t STOLEN — But YES, it was UNDERHANDEDLY Tilted

 Socio-Political-Journal...

If you read the headline of a blockbuster, 6,000-word-plus story in Time magazine, you might think former President Donald Trump wasn’t so wrong about the election, after all.

"Despite the tease, Molly Ball’s “Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election” doesn’t allege widespread voter fraud in what some Trump supporters still insist was a “stolen” election. Nor is the essay an exposé of illegal activity that would justify the Trumpian challenges to the results that threatened to tear the country apart.

"But what Time did uncover is disturbing enough, even if most of those involved are proud of what they did to help elect President Biden: underhanded methods made all the more galling by the preening self-righteousness of those who deployed them.

"As the magazine reports, a secret alliance of left-wing activists, union leaders and corporate CEOs worked together to help craft unprecedented changes in the rules governing the way America votes. They did their best to encourage and facilitate mail-in voting on an unprecedented scale." . . .

My Nation-Unifying Impeachment Solution

There’s no hope for our media, who are irredeemable liars. But there’s still a chance for everyone else to come out a winner here! Trade conviction for a wall, Republicans"

mikeharrisartwork

 Ann Coulter  "Senate Republicans should offer to convict Donald Trump in return for Democrats agreeing to fund the wall.

"Trump is not going to run again anyway. In four years, he will be as viable a presidential candidate as Hillary was in 2020. You wouldn’t have guessed that, either, from all the gnashing of teeth about the MOST QUALIFIED WOMAN EVER TO SEEK THE PRESIDENCY immediately after she lost.

"The reason elected Republicans, Fox News, OAN, Newsmax and a hundred talk radio hosts are terrified of supporting conviction is that they don’t want to look like Mitt Romney and incur the wrath of the Trump base (whatever remains of it).

"Trading conviction for a wall solves that. It will remind Trump loyalists that he betrayed them on his central campaign promise, and also will actually fulfill that promise.

"Democrats, if they have half a brain, will leap at the offer. They are about to destroy Biden’s presidency by defining themselves — as The New York Times’ Frank Bruni put it — as “antonyms to Trump.” Trump was for a wall. Ipso facto, Democrats are for open borders.

"Trump was lying, liberals! Even President Obama was for border security. Great socialist hope Bernie Sanders has denounced open borders as a gift to the Koch brothers." . . .

"They don’t care. Trump supporters wanted a wall, so we’re going to punish them by throwing open the border!" . . .

Democrat impeachment crusade, second day

Chris Wallace Gushes Over Dems' 'Powerful' Argument for Impeaching Trump " . . . Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) argued it was constitutional to impeach a former president.

"Raskin, who promised to impeach President Donald Trump as soon he took office, while also objecting to the certification of 2017 election results, is now arguing the case for the impeachment of a private citizen." .  . .

Hannity Said Trump Lawyer ‘Had a Great Day.’ Then the Lawyer Went on Fox and Made Democrats’ Case for Them.  “If we apply the Democratic standards for how they define incitement and insurrection,” Hannity asked before rattling off a laundry list of Democratic Party politicians. “If that same standard is applied, do they not all deserve impeachment, too?”

"To which Schoen replied [emphasis added]:

Yeah, I would say, you know, listen, if they tried to impeach them, I would say that also is an abuse, was an abuse, of the impeachment process. But your point is: they’re using rhetoric that is just as inflammatory or more so. The problem is, they don’t really have followers, you know, they’re dedicated followers, and so, when they give their speeches.

Trump lawyer: Impeachment case ‘undemocratic,’ ill-advised

Democrats are using the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump as a political “weapon” to bar the former president from seeking office again and are pursuing a case that is “undemocratic” and unconstitutional, one of his lawyers says.

 Why are Democrats so scared of Donald Trump when they just defeated him? "Donald Trump is washed up. A has-been. Everyone hates him, and he has no future. That’s what the press is constantly telling us.

"So why are the Democrats still afraid of him?

"According to the press narrative, Trump suffered a crushing electoral defeat. Democrats are firmly in charge of the White House and Congress. America is returning to normalcy, with the reassuring (if sometimes a bit confused) face of President Biden beaming over all of us like a benevolent grandpa. We’re ready to move on."

Aug, 2020: MSNBC Producer Quits, Calls Network 'Cancer' That’s Dividing Americans

  But this channel was regularly promoted on programs such as "Law & Order". Note this story is from August 2020 and MSNBC is still the same. TD

Jack Murphy  "A former producer for MSNBC explained why she quit her role in a scathing letter, calling the left-leaning anti-Trump TV network a “cancer” that is “stoking national division” among Americans.

"Ariana Pekary accused MSNBC of amplifying “fringe voices” while forcing “journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.”

"Pekary wrote on her personal website:

"July 24th was my last day at
MSNBC. I don’t know what I’m going to do next exactly but I simply couldn’t stay there anymore."

 "My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis."

"Pekary also shared quotes of what people said to her during her years while working for MSNBC before pondering the harmful effect the network is having on society." . . .

. . .  “ 'Context and factual data are often considered too cumbersome for the audience,” Pekary later added.  “There may be some truth to that (our education system really should improve the critical thinking skills of Americans) – but another hard truth is that it is the job of journalists to teach and inform, which means they might need to figure out a better way to do that." . . .

MSNBC producer resigns from network with scathing letter: They block 'diversity of thought' and 'amplify fringe voices'

Joy Reid, angry MSNBC opinionist

Bari Weiss, the former New York Times op-ed staff editor who recently resigned from the newspaper with her own letter, praised Pekary's "integrity" on social media.

 Snopes grudgingly agreed    . . . "But it’s misleading to state that Pekary’s letter was directed solely at the liberal MSNBC, because Pekary’s critique was aimed at the entirety of the commercial news industry, which she said offers viewers ideological bias-confirming sensationalism over informative and nuanced reporting." . . .

National Review: A Brutal Assessment of Cable News . . . "I hope somebody in the cable-news world heeds Pekary’s assessment — which sure looks accurate to me — and is willing to try something different in another time slot, perhaps with Pekary or someone like her calling the shots of how the news ought to be covered. Just try covering the news with depth and nuance and take a shot at leaving viewers knowing more than before they tuned in. Who knows, some people might like it, particularly people who don’t watch cable news right now, because they find it a predictable shout-fest." . . .
