‘Don’t Throw That At Me’: Martha MacCallum Explodes On BLM Leader Who Accuses Her Of ‘White Privilege’

 Daily Caller

“You live from a place of white privilege, where you don’t really understand how they treat us in New York City,” Newsome continued.

"Fox News host Martha MacCallum fired back at a BLM leader on Friday after he accused her of living from a place of “white privilege.”

"During a heated segment of “The Story,” Hawk Newsome, who co-founded Black Lives Matter of Greater New York with his sister, accused MacCallum of “white privilege” as they discussed pro-police leaders in New York City. The host immediately snapped back at Newsome following the accusation, saying, “Don’t throw that at me.' ” . . .

The ‘Woke’ Got What They Wanted—and Then What?

Victor Davis Hanson

The people like the police and hate crime. Even the rich among the woke are now scared—some of whom sowed the wind of decriminalization and are themselves reaping the whirlwind of crime.

"The “woke” movement was giddy after Jan. 20, 2021. The Left controlled both houses of Congress.

"Joe Biden was drafted as the necessary veneer of 1980s Democratic normality to ram through an otherwise hard Left agenda.

"All the major cultural, financial, economic, entertainment, and media institutions had played various roles in seeing former president Donald Trump not just defeated, but also impeached, twice. He was written off as persona non grata after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

"So, academia, corporate boardrooms, Hollywood, the media, the Pentagon, professional sports teams, Silicon Valley, and Wall Street in near hysterical fashion all boarded the woke train. All boasted of ferreting out “white rage,” and hiring legions of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” czars.

"Critical race theory would be mainstreamed to excise racism and discrimination by embracing racism and discrimination.

“Crime” was to be seen now mostly as a construct created by the elite to protect their own privilege, prerogatives, and property. Shoplifting, looting, and street thuggery were just part of living in a normal city.

“ 'Social justice warriors” could replace defunded police. Gone would be most bail, incarceration, mandatory jail time, stop-and-frisk, and broken-windows deterrent policies.

"Green agendas, the Left hoped, would fundamentally transform America in putting an immediate stop to man-made “climate change.” So, lots of oil and gas leases were either canceled or their fees vastly increased. Pipelines were stopped. Gas and oil companies were warned that everything from lack of financing to new regulations would soon put them out of business. The golden age of wind and batteries was already upon us." . . .

Ron DeSantis comes out with a five-point workable plan to get around Biden on illegal immigation

 Monica Showalter  "The more you look at Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, the more you like him.

"Here's his new plan on how to deal with Joe Biden's open borders policies that have brought the surge of illegal aliens into the country, in a neatly presented, effectively communicated Twitter summary:

The failure to secure our nation’s border is affecting communities across our state & nation. Today, I outlined additional proposals for consideration in the next legislative session that will protect Florida from the Biden Admin's reckless border policies https://t.co/1yRVgUtoym pic.twitter.com/8KZkxNfUcb

— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) December 10, 2021

. . .  " DeSantis has done a yeoman's job on identifying what a governor can do on illegal immigration — and doing it.  He must have extremely good people, given the well considered nature of these doable proposals.

"All of this undercuts badly Joe Biden's plan for open borders and unlimited illegal immigration.  That's what Americans want.

"We can add another hashmark-scratchmark into the "presidential" column for Ron DeSantis for this one."

 

Stephen Colbert Keeps Wading into Fox News Christmas Tree Being Lit on Fire in the Most Cringeworthy of Ways

 Townhall  "For the past few days now, Stephen Colbert has been trending on Twitter, owing in part to his reaction to the Fox News Christmas tree being lit on fire. Craig Tamanaha was arrested by police on Wednesday for allegedly lighting the tree on fire, but as Leah pointed out, because it's New York City, Tamanaha was released without bail. Despite the sincerity of the issue at hand, Colbert has been tweeting and cracking jokes during "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." . . .

HEY CNN: Will Don Lemon Follow Cuomo Out The Door For His Smollett Interference? UPDATED

Such a terrible loss for the profession of journalism...

. . .Smollett And Sandmann, A Quick Look Back  "The original Smollett incident was an interesting case study in media bias because the world watched as it played out in real-time alongside the media firestorm around Nick Sandmann.

"They rushed to condemn the teenage boy who had done nothing wrong in the face of ongoing provocation by several adults with racial and or ideological axes to grind at the same time that they rushed to the defense of Jussie Smollet comforting him and demanding something be done about the bigots who had allegedly jumped Jussie. A noose was involved, and he very publicly went to the hospital.

"Ordinary people had their BS meters pinging immediately. But corporate media, and the rest of the left generally, wound up on the wrong side of both incidents specifically because of their biases." . . .

In 2019, the openly gay Dustin Hice filed a lawsuit against Don Lemon, accusing the CNN host of shoving his hands down his pants, rubbing his genitals, and then thrusting his fingers into Hice’s face. The alleged incident occurred at a bar on New York’s Long Island.

Hice reportedly said of the incident on the Fox show Waters’ World, “…And shoved his fingers up under my nose, pushed my head back, and asked me if I liked p—- or d—. I’m not going to say it. And I was disgusted, as you can assume, and I fled the bar.”

… ““This is who they [CNN] are. They’re a predator-protecting machine, they slander and smear victims with impunity,” Hice added.

…“They’ve tried to grind me down, they’ve attempted to intimidate witnesses in my case, they’ve released confidential information about me in an attempt to doxx me. They are complicit. This is who they are,” Hice said. —Breitbart

Don Lemon to be the next one out at CNN?  "Is CNN a fount of journalist corruption? Right after the cable broadcaster fired its star journalist, Chris Cuomo for collaborating with his brother in a bid to fend off sex harassment charges, it now comes to light that CNN's Don Lemon was essentially caught doing the same thing.   

"According to the Washington Examiner:". . .

Don Lemon Accuser Says CNN is a 'Predator Protecting Machine'  . . ." 'They’re a network rife with predators and perverts," Hice told Fox News Digital. "Lemon will have to testify under oath in the near future, but it’s good to see that there’s finally some accountability happening."

"Hice explained that he is looking for closure and peace of mind after the incident with Lemon. He alleged that the encounter consisted of Lemon putting his hand down the front of his shorts, "vigorously" rubbing his genitalia and putting the same hand onto Hice’s face while asking a vulgar question." . . .

Updated:Yikes: CNN Producer Arrested for “Unlawful Sexual Activity” with a 9 Year Old

That’s according to Newsweek, which, in a shocking article, reports that:

"John Griffin, 44, of Stamford, Connecticut, was arrested on Friday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont.

"The indictment says that between April and July 2020, he used Google Hangouts and Kik to communicate with people purporting to be the parents of underage girls.

The "optics" of Biden and Harris

  Joe Biden Asks Jill Biden to Switch Seats.... So He Doesn't Have to Sit Next to VP Harris(?)  "Throughout the past few weeks, multiple reports have alleged tension between President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. An awkward interaction between the two on Thursday will certainly not quell those concerns.

🚨 AWKWARD, SHADE WAR:
Joe Biden Refuses to acknowledge Kamala as he walks right past her in US Capitol. Then Joe asks Jill to SWITCH SEATS so he won’t be close to VP. Neither make eye contact as Joe looks AT THE CEILING and Kamala looks at the floor.

CRINGE. See for yourself: pic.twitter.com/urCVJOq8Qa

 . . ."Since it is unclear what Biden is saying in the footage, it would be impossible to prove that he switched seats to get away from Harris. However, the video sure makes the two look like they do not want to be near one another.

"Even if Biden’s intention was not to avoid his vice president, the optics are terrible in light of recent events.

"According to a separate article from CNN in November, Biden staffers were growing tired of “entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus” from Harris and her staff.

"Harris staffers told CNN that the vice president was “not being adequately prepared or positioned” by Biden and his staff." . . .

Here's What Biden Did at Bob Dole's Memorial Service That's Making People Wonder If He Hates Kamala Harris  

The offices do not get along. Everyone is fleeing Harris who has been described as a soul-crushing boss. One cannot remember what day it is while the other so inept at doing…everything that the circus has been revealed. It’s a gruesome twosome. Both have approvals in the 30s. It might have dropped a few notches since then. The apparent dislike the two have was shown at the memorial event for Dole. Biden doesn’t even acknowledge her and then it looks like he asks Jill Biden to switch seats with him:

LAPD Warns People Not To Visit Area During Christmas – It’s Like The Purge, We Cannot Keep People Safe

The Conservative Treehouse  "Yikes!  This Christmas version of the Safari Park warning is as subtle as a brick through a window.

"The Los Angeles police are telling the public not to come into the area for Christmas because it’s like “The Purge” movie.

"LAPD Detective Jamie McBride recently told media, “My advice to anybody considering coming to Los Angeles is ‘Don’t,’ he said.  “We can’t guarantee your safety. It is really, really out of control […] It’s like that movie ‘Purge’ [sic]. Instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, these bad people have 365 days to commit whatever they want.” WATCH:

. . ."The deeper blue the region, the more dangerous the crime within it. This is the natural outcome of policy on a local level that allows criminal elements to operate without fear or accountability. Smash and grab robberies, armed robberies, carjacking, looting and the general breakdown of law and order is well underway in the municipal regions under the control of the Democrat Party apparatus." . . .

CBSLA 

. . .“It’s pretty scary walking at night,” said Sarah Veenstra, who moved to LA from Wisconsin about six months ago. She said she didn’t realize crime and safety would be such an issue.

“I genuinely thought it would be a safe area. It turned out not be as safe as I thought. I’m definitely, like, carrying something on me every time I leave the house when it’s dark out,” she said.

Gender Ideology Run Amok

 

Imprimus  "In 2007, America had one pediatric gender clinic; today there are hundreds. Testosterone is readily available to adolescents from places like Planned Parenthood and Kaiser, often on a first visit—without even a therapist’s note. 

"How did we get to this point? How is it that we are all supposed to pretend that the only way you can know I’m a woman is if I tell you my pronouns? How did we get to an America in which a 13-year-old in the State of Washington can begin “gender affirming” therapy without her parents’ consent? How did we get to an America in which a 15-year-old in Oregon can undergo “top surgery”—elective double mastectomy—without her parents’ permission? And what can we do about it?*** 

"To understand how we got to this point, it is useful to begin by considering gender dysphoria—the feeling of severe discomfort in a person’s biological sex. Gender dysphoria is certainly real. It is also exceedingly rare. It afflicts about 0.01 percent of the population, most of whom are male.

"For nearly 100 years of diagnostic history, gender dysphoria typically began in early childhood, between the ages of two and four, and usually involved a boy who insisted that he was not a boy but a girl. . . ."

Hillary’s pathetic self-pity

"Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar."  William Safire, NY Times;1996

 Patriot Retort

"Did you see the video of Hillary Clinton reading the acceptance speech she never got to deliver if she won in 2016? Holy smokes, you guys. It is the most pathetic, embarrassing thing I have ever seen.

"I know I said those videos of Kamala and her child actors were the worst videos ever. And they were until Hillary did this on television:" . . .

. . ."The fact that five years after losing Hillary is still that emotional is not a good sign. The woman is not well.

"This is why Trump’s constant bleating over 2020 bothers me so much. Does he want to turn into Hillary 2.0? Is he unaware that he’s traveling on the same pathetic, self-pitying loop that Hillary has been stuck on for five miserable years?" . . .

"Hillary Clinton is apparently the only woman who can cry without shedding a single tear."  Lamp coming, DUCK!

Democrats and George Soros; America's days seem numbered

George Soros-backed district attorneys are ruining America

Rollins

Massachusetts US Attorney Rachael Rollins' left-wing track record under scrutiny  "Biden’s New George Soros-Backed Massachusetts Attorney Is Called ‘Road Rage Rollins’ For A Reason"  "On Wednesday, the Senate confirmed Rachael Rollins as Massachusetts’ United States Attorney. The vote was a dead heat and Vice President Kamala Harris cast her vote as the tiebreaker to push through President Joe Biden’s nomination." . . .

Soros bankrolls dark money hub for activists pushing to dismantle police, grants show   "The Foundation to Promote Open Society, a nonprofit in Soros' network, pushed $3 million to the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability (CRH) in 2020, according to a search of the Open Society Foundations' grant database.

"CRH is a clearinghouse of resources for local progressive activists on how to best deal with police reform efforts, including materials on abolishing and defunding the police. The hub sits under the umbrella of the most prominent dark money network in the U.S., tax forms show." . . .

Monica Showalter: Anti-Soros DA in San Diego throws the book at Antifa   . . ."That was an election win in a tough race.  Back when Stephan was running for office, in 2018, she was doing so-so against a well financed opponent.  But her fortunes changed suddenly when she ran anti-Soros television ads that repeatedly pointed out that her big-dollar opponent was a crummy little Soros pawn.  Despite being outspent three to one by the Sorosians, Stephan's poll numbers turned decisively in her favor.  She then won office by a huge margin.

"I wrote about that here in a June 10, 2018 AT item titled "Soros becomes the kiss of death for his own handpicked D.A. candidates.' " . . .

George Soros, buying a district attorney near you   "George Soros, the billionaire of progressive-slash-socialist and globalist causes the world over, has been busy buying his way into local district attorney campaigns in the United States.

"Talk about trying to turn the judicial system into an activist camp for the left.

"It’s one thing to exercise one’s First Amendment rights to support candidates with similar political leanings. It’s another thing entirely to try and collapse a limited government republic, from the bottom up, and implement, in its place, a judicial branch filled with people who twist the Bill of Rights into something it’s not, the Constitution into something it was never intended to be, and the rule of law into a mocking tool for far-left gain." . . .

George Soros has blood on his hands for the rise in killings nationwide  "The crime wave sweeping across the country is the direct result of a years-long campaign by George Soros to bankroll the election of far-left district attorneys committed to undermining law and order." 

"Over the past six years or so, Soros has poured tens of millions of dollars into the campaigns of DA candidates from coast to coast, achieving a remarkable degree of success by simply overwhelming all the other candidates. Whereas normal DA candidates typically run on five-figure budgets, Soros-backed DA candidates routinely enjoy seven-figure war chests." . . .
