The Ladies of ‘The View’ Deliver Their Most Cringeworthy Apologies

They're 'really, really sorry' for offending half the country on a regular basis


WATCH: The Ladies of ‘The View’ Deliver Their Most Cringeworthy Apologies (freebeacon.com)   "The ladies on ABC's The View probably wouldn't describe their show as a cesspool of shrill nonsense and liberal hackery, but that is precisely what it is. Why else would the New York Times describe it as "the most important political TV show in America"?
"In 2022 alone, The View cohosts were forced to issue nearly 40 apologies, clarifications, and legal disclaimers for statements they made on the air. So much for the "intelligent debate" the journalist Barbara Walters envisioned when she created The View in 1997.
"The list of statements for which Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, and their colleagues have apologized (or issued clarifications in response to threats of legal action) is nothing short of astonishing." . . .


• Comparing Christianity to a "mental illness."

• Claiming Supreme Court justices Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas have been "credibly accused" of sexual assault.

• Suggesting the Holocaust was "not about race."

• Asserting that neo-Nazi protesters outside a convention in Florida belonged to a conservative student organization.

• Repeatedly "misgendering" former male athlete Caitlyn Jenner.

• Using a racial slur—"gypped"—to criticize Donald Trump and his supporters.

• Offending nurses by suggesting nursing is "not a real talent."

• Falsely accusing Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett of belonging to a "hate group."

• Defending accused rapist Bill Cosby by comparing him to the falsely accused members of the Duke lacrosse team in 2006.

Biden’s Press Chief Blurts Out Biggest Lie about Bidenomics -

"Let me be clear"...

  The Lid (lidblog.com)


‘How Many People Coming Into This Country Illegally Is Enough For President Biden?’ – Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)   "Questions like that are almost enough to make you feel sorry for White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Even someone qualified for that job – which she clearly is not – would have trouble coming up with new ways to tell bald-faced lies about the border crisis and what President Joe Biden is doing to stop it.

Her job got more difficult after U.S. Customs and Border Protection released data Friday showing that 304,162 people entered the country illegally in August – a new record.

For perspective, it’s as many as crossed illegally in all of 2017, and more than the entire population of Pittsburgh.  

Just a couple months ago, team Biden was crowing about a dip in the number of illegal border crossers, even issuing a press release claiming that “the administration’s plan is working as intended.”

Two weeks ago, Jean-Pierre declared that “The president has done more to secure the border and to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. He really has.”

Normally, the press would swallow such lies without blinking. But now Democratic politicians are rising up in protest around the country against the devastation Biden’s “secure the border” policies have brought to their cities and states.

The Daily Signal recently reported that “Democratic leaders in Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C., have declared states of emergency in response to the border crisis that occurred after President Joe Biden took office.”

The crisis has gotten so bad that the slavishly pro-Biden New York Times has started reporting on its scale and impact. In just the past few days, it’s run stories headlined:

  • “Officials Scramble to Respond as Migrants Overwhelm Texas City”
  • “Influx of Migrants Exposes Democrats’ Division on Immigration”
  • “One Day on the Border: 8,900 Migrants Arrested, and More on the Way”
  • “Unlawful Border Crossings Are Rising Fast”
  • “Eric Adams Asserts Migrant Crisis Will ‘Destroy New York'”

Scared residents are fleeing Democrat-run cities

 Washington, D.C., Other U.S. Cities Becoming War Zones As Crime Skyrockets Under Democrat Control ⋆ Conservative Firing Line   

. . ."  "Residents of the city have said they are changing their routines in response to high crime, with homicides and robberies climbing 29 and 67 percent, respectively. One lobbyist said he stopped walking in his neighborhood after an attack near Dupont Circle, eventually relocating to Maryland to get away from the crime-ridden city. Other residents have reported taking measures such as using alternative entrances to their building and avoiding going to gas stations at night. The general consensus is that the city has taken a major turn for the worse; while crime was largely limited to those associated with drugs and gangs in the past, now innocent people are being shot in nice neighborhoods.


Donald Duck ‘Trumps’ Porky Pig

  American Thinker


"During the Republican presidential debate stage at the Ronald Reagan library in Simi Valley, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie continued spewing his unbecoming insults toward former President Trump.

"Christie stands little chance of winning, but continues to debase the debate.  Perhaps he’s auditioning for a show on “Looney Tunes” legacy media.

"In a petulant, sophomoric quip, Christie labelled Trump as Donald Duck, for refusing to debate.  The collective, disapproving sigh from the audience was palpable. Many pundits, and co-moderator Stuart Varney, say it fell flat.

"But as long as we’re assigning the persona of cartoon characters to Republican presidential candidates, being Donald Duck is not the worst mantle to assume.

"Indeed, some of Donald Duck’s characteristics might benefit dysfunctional Washington D.C.  To wit:  while a bit irascible, Donald Duck is a beloved character known for perseverance and determination.  Sure, he’s a bit tempestuous, but Donald Duck always manages to overcome whatever challenges he faces.  Overall, Donald Duck has some remarkable traits that do mimic the real Donald, enabling him to shake up the porky political establishment." . . .

Joe Biden's nightmare coming to life: RFK, Jr. all but announces third-party run for the presidency

RFK Jr. renews calls for Secret Service protection after armed man arrested at campaign event - ABC News (go.com)

. . ."Kennedy's initial request for Secret Service protection was rejected after Department of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a July letter that, after consulting with a bipartisan congressional advisory committee, it was determined a detail was "not warranted at this time."

Kennedy has since been vocal in his desire to receive Secret Service, posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the rejection, "Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me."

 Monica Showalter - American Thinker  "Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is again calling for a U.S. Secret Service protective detail to be assigned to him following an incident at a campaign event last week involving an armed man who now stands accused of impersonating a police officer.

"Since then, Kennedy's campaign has highlighted his family's history of assassination and the recent security scare as examples of the increased threat environment he faces amid his campaign to defeat President Joe Biden." 

Hillary Is Back - "How many more decades must Americans endure this vile political hack who long ago wore out her stay?"

Hillary Clinton Asked To Leave Costco After Repeatedly Accusing Sample Lady Of Being A Russian Asset | Babylon Bee... '"Orange... orange like Trump!" Clinton screamed suddenly, frightening the poor food demonstration worker. "You're in league with him, aren't you!?" The failed presidential candidate lunged across the cart and attempted to pull off her face mask, certain the lady was actually Vladimir Putin in a skin suit.

 She's Baaaak! J.B. Shurk- American Thinker   "Sheeee's baaaaack!  Yes, America's cold sore, Hillary Clinton, is back in the news.  She's hoping the newly resurrected Clinton Global Initiative (the fake charity but real influence-peddling operation that temporarily closed its doors while being investigated for engaging in pay-to-play fraud) can make a financial killing off all the real killing going on in Ukraine.

CGI is ready to help the widowed, orphaned, and suffering people of Ukraine by collecting large sums of money that will go a long way to supporting the Clintons' lavish lifestyles.  What remains of their tax-free charitable "services" can then be distributed among their army of cronies desperate for an easy payday.

"Keeping the Clintons and their friends in the upper class doesn't come cheaply.  Hillary might have time to pose for a few pictures with those left injured and homeless...that is, if she's not bogged down avoiding Russian gunfire as she jaunts around in a private jet or too busy accepting some award for her selfless heroics.  She also might be preoccupied fighting "climate change," though — so no promises, Ukrainian orphans!  The planet must come first!  Rest assured: the Clinton Global Grift will eventually find some spare change and old blankets to hand out.  Otherwise, Bill and Hill might be accused of exploiting Ukraine's most needy for profit.

"Hillary's also warning that Putin will likely interfere in America's 2024 election — no doubt a Deep State talking point being regurgitated to justify the insertions of inveterate liars John Brennan and James Clapper into their Department of Homeland Security roles as "disinformation experts" with authority over determining which kinds of political speech will be censored (i.e., any speech helpful to President Trump and harmful to the Democrat-led Uniparty).  Isn't putting John Brennan on a "disinformation" committee after he manipulated the last two presidential elections by first pushing the Russia Hoax and then fraudulently labeling Hunter Biden's "laptop from Hell" as "Russian disinformation" a lot like putting former CIA director Allen Dulles on the Warren Commission to investigate President Kennedy's assassination?  It sure seems as if the Intelligence Community learned some time ago that the best way to cover up their crimes is to make sure that they are the ones charged with discovering them. ". . .

Democrat Rep Jamie Raskin's Words Come Back to Haunt Him During Biden Impeachment Inquiry

 WJ  "Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the ranking Democrat member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, appeared to have a short memory Thursday when he argued Republicans should have a full floor vote before beginning an impeachment inquiry.

The Oversight Committee began its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden’s alleged public corruption and bribery concerning payments from overseas interests.

“We’ve had to slide awkwardly into a House impeachment process without the benefit of the floor vote that Speaker [Kevin] McCarthy insisted was absolutely imperative and necessary when Donald Trump was impeached,” Raskin said in his opening remarks.

“That’s exactly what has not happened here, because they don’t have the votes, because dozens of Republicans recognize what a futile and absurd process this is,” he added.

Raskin argued that Republicans have been looking for months and, “They’ve got nothing on Joe Biden.”


"Jackson, Wyoming – Joe Biden boasted two years ago that the CEO of a major electric bus manufacturer was making him “look good” and federal dollars poured into the company. Now those words have come back to haunt him as an entire town’s electric bus fleet backed by the company broke down.
"The Cowboy State Daily reported Tuesday that Teton County and the town of Jackson wanted a low-emission transit system for the county. The Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit (START) system, a joint operation between Jackson and Teton County, had bought eight electric buses to complement its fleet of 31.
"But the entire bus fleet broke down so the town’s transit system is now solely relying on its diesel fleet. The last of the electric buses went out of service two months ago and some of the broken buses have been awaiting parts for months." . . .

Pentagon Targets the Unborn Enemy

This is a military bent on national suicide, more concerned with killing the unborn than killing the enemy.

  NoisyRoom.net   "Rather than kill the enemy, the Pentagon is now in the business of killing the unborn. How much confidence should we have in these “leaders?” They are a disgrace to the uniform.

"They should defect to Russia and China. Only then would we be in better shape.

"As we anticipate the anniversary of 9/11, many assume that Pentagon brass and the leadership of the CIA and FBI have corrected the problems that led to a terrorist attack on American soil. Instead, the Pentagon is attacking Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville for objecting to the Department of Defense turning into an abortion factory.

"Tuesday’s release from the Department of Defense, disguised as a news story,  attacked Tuberville for holding up various promotions of the top brass, as long as the DoD remains adamant in favor of aborting children using taxpayer funds. Tuberville’s position is legally and morally correct.

"Here’s how the DoD propagandists put it: “To ensure equitable access to care, DOD implemented a policy enabling service members to travel outside their duty stations’ state if that state imposes restrictions on reproductive health access.”

"Translated into common language, this means the Pentagon is using money for national defense to facilitate abortions across state lines.

"But the Congress never voted for that.

"There is no constitutional right to abortion, and there never was.

"Despite DoD propaganda, let us understand that the term “reproductive health access” is abortion. Pentagon scribblers don’t even want to use the term. They are ashamed to refer to the killing of the unborn.

"When the Pentagon is distributing such lies, under the cover of a “news” story, you know that moral standards have declined dramatically." . . .

New York Democrats to Distribute Flyers to Illegals at Southern Border Warning Them 'You Are Better Off' Somewhere Else

Naturally Democrats mean that in a nice, compassionate way. TD

  The Gateway Pundit | by David Greyson   "New York Democrats are planning to distribute flyers at the US-Mexico border telling illegals to “consider another city.”

"On Wednesday, Mayor Eric Adam’s office announced this plan to “combat misinformation at the border.”

"The flyers will be in both Spanish and English and will warn the illegals that New York City is the most expensive city in the world so they will be better off somewhere else.

"How interesting that a sanctuary city run by Democrats who have been all for illegal immigration is now troubled by the flood of illegal aliens. Leftist ideas sound compassionate coming from those Democrat leaders until it’s at their front door.

(Bloomberg) — New York City is planning to distribute flyers to migrants in shelters and at the US southern border that say the city’s resources “have been exhausted” and they won’t get any help finding work, officials said Wednesday.

The one-page flyer, printed in both English and Spanish, warns asylum seekers that “you will not be placed in a hotel,” and that “NYC is one of the most expensive cities in the world; you are better off going to a more affordable city.” The flyer also declares “NYC cannot help you obtain a work permit, and you will not be able to easily find work.”

The effort to dissuade migrants from coming to New York is the latest attempt to slow the rapid influx of some 100,000 people who have arrived in the city since the spring of 2022, overwhelming its shelter system and straining coffers. The city pays $387 a day to shelter each migrant family, and estimates the cost for caring migrants will total $12 billion through mid-2025.

"New York City wants to make illegal aliens a problem for other cities." . . . 

Keep Biden upright

 


Annals of senescence | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)   "Alex Thompson reports that President Biden is working on a critical project for his re-election bid: Make sure he doesn’t trip. Thompson’s Axios scoop runs under the headline “Biden team’s don’t-let-him-trip mission.”

"The Biden team is worried that one more public tumble might convince voters that Biden is not up to the job. I believe that voters already come to that view, and with good reason. The physical manifestation of his senescence corresponds with his visible limitations of speech and understanding. He makes 80 look like the new 100." . . .

Obama was working on his jump shot. Biden is working on maintaining an upright position while walking.

. . ."I would suggest that Biden take up ballet. It would do wonders for his balance and give him the kind of up-close-and-personal social opportunities he loves."

Trump shut the border and got a migrant deal with Mexico. Biden also shut the border and got ... more illegals - American Thinker  . . ."But what isn't symmetrical is Trump's insistence on a win-win situation for both sides, and Biden's insistence on a lose-lose result.

If this isn't proof of Biden's idiocy, what is? Biden has opted to get all the pain of a border shutdown and none of the benefits, all to preserve the chaos of his open border. It's the hill he means to die on and may be the stupidity that will sweep him from office." . . .

Texas Democrat roasted for claiming Biden only guilty of loving Hunter ‘unconditionally’ | Fox News

Dianne Feinstein, Centrist? Newsom a tyrant?

She was a California Democrat, you know?

  Power Line (powerlineblog.com)    "Dianne Feinstein died last night. She cast a Senate vote earlier in the day. Tributes to her are pouring in, which is natural and appropriate. But check out how the Washington Post described her:

. . ."So throughout her career, Feinstein was a consistently left-wing senator, and over the last 18 years she almost never deviated from the liberal line on any issue or on any vote. You may think this is fine if you are a liberal Democrat, but there is no sane sense in which it represents a centrist voting record.

"The Post’s characterization tells us nothing about Feinstein, but a lot about where the Washington Post sits on the political spectrum: it holds down the far-left pole, which it myopically sees as the middle of the road." . . .

Pressure is on Newsom to quickly appoint Feinstein's temporary Senate replacement - POLITICO   "The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein places Gov. Gavin Newsom under intense pressure to quickly name a replacement as a bitterly divided Congress votes on a spending plan in the coming hours to avert a government shutdown.

"Newsom had hoped to avoid the politically charged decision of selecting a second senator. But he will need to move swiftly as a budget standoff has the government on the verge of shutting down, and Senate Democrats could need every vote. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) affirmed on Friday that the fast-moving political situation creates an imperative for Newsom to make a difficult decision quickly." . . .

A COVID Tyrant For President?   "When recently asked if he was going to run for president next year, California Gov. Gavin Newsom wouldn’t rule it out. This is no big news, since we’ve been hearing for some time that he will rescue the faltering Biden-Harris regime. But it is distressing. In addition to driving people from his state with policies that become more deranged with every passing year, Newsom was a malevolent pandemic warrior who should have been punished for his offenses. Voters deserve to know just how vicious he was – and that he remains unrepentant.

"It would be hard to argue that any another state mistreated its citizens more than California. Given the opportunity of the novel coronavirus outbreak, Newsom smoothly tapped into his just-below-the-surface authoritarianism (the same urge to dictate that afflicts nearly every Democrat in the nation)." . . .
