In the wake of Matt Lauer’s termination, and the self-immolation underway on the left, the news is littered with exciting tidbits from long-time liberal hypocrites about other long-time liberal hypocrites, like this.
On ABC News’ “This Week,” veteran journalist Cokie Roberts made a rather revealing admission in the wake of accusations from women that far-left Rep. John Conyers had assaulted them.
And in still more harassment news: @cnn tells me it dismissed Teddy Davis, senior producer of @jaketapper's "State of the Union" program, over behavior "that does not align with the standards and values of CNN." Three women had complained about Davis. — Paul Farhi (@farhip) November 29, 2017
Adam J. MacLeod, (from the clan MacLeod–did you do that with the accent?) recently shared a speech he gave to his students in an article titled, Undoing the Dis-Education of Millennials.
Adam teaches Law and has found that many of the students in his class while bright and ready to learn, “cannot think, don’t know very much, and are enslaved to their appetites and feelings. Their minds are held hostage in a prison fashioned by elite culture and their undergraduate professors.”
No one makes fun of the left like The People’s cube, and in keeping with that tradition they provided the above image as a guideline to help the regular folk figure out the difference between your run-of-the-mill left-wing fascist and your run-of-the-mill leftist ‘antifascist.’
Antifascists movements, historically, are communist/socialist affairs, who operate identically; use intimidation and violence to advance your political agenda.
A friend of mine once scribbled idly on a piece of paper (about 30 years ago), “Because Baptists believe intercourse leads to dancing.” He was joking about how some Baptists believe dancing leads to intercourse. Alcohol increases the risk, and underage drinking is not prohibited at Princeton (not exactly), so perhaps that is why they (Princeton), or more specifically Sexual Harassment Assault/Advising, Resources & Education (SHARE), are taking the consent to dancing thing so seriously?
A UC Riverside Student (Edith Macias) snatched a Make America Great Again hat off another student and then proceeded to go into a vulgar rant, on video, which will now serve as evidence against the student for charges that could land them in jail for a year.
“According to California’s Penal Code 487, grand theft is committed when “the property is taken from the person of another.”
A local law group further explains that the statute applies to cases where the property “was taken directly off of the property owner, no matter how much the property is worth …”
Here’s the vulgarity filled rant that followed (with lots of asterisks).
David Axelrod had Kathleen Sebelius on his Podcast during which both added their voices (or is that knives) to the slaying of Ceaser (and his annoying wife who won’t go the hell away).
Yes, they all knew, but they did worse than nothing. As Mark Steyn reminds us below the left, the media and the feminists defended Clinton because of his politics. And this is a point I keep making over and over again. Democrats do not care about Blacks, Latinos, gays, trans, children, workers, or women. All they care about is political power.
Ryan Saavedra, writing at the Daily Wire, has some details that CNN couldn’t be bothered to report. “When CNN is not busy giving President Donald Trump 93% negative coverage, covering for Islamic terrorists, botching gun reports, or being sued by over 200 African-Americans for racial discrimination, they are busy covering for Democrats across the United States by not reporting on scandals.”
We should be thankful…that a majority of people outside the bubbled-elite do not regularly buy into the weaponized fear-mongering of climate alarmists like this turkey. He, like many other enlightened scribblers reporting the words of “Experts™,” have been wrong about more things more times than we can count. But that doesn’t stop them from trying.
Conrad Black, writing in the NY Sun, reviews Ms. Clinton’s post-election screed, What Happened. Here’s a sample. Previous narrowly defeated presidential candidates have been almost uniformly civilized. It never seems to have occurred to Hillary Clinton that Mr. Trump won because the previous 20 years of government had been utterly and bipartisanly incompetent, in the … Read more
The city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire has denied a couple the right to rent a property they own on Air BnB. Matthew Beebe and Barbara Jenny bought the home next to theirs for their Daughter who travels and planned to use short-term rentals until her return, but the city has issued a cease and desist order.
[City attorney] Sullivan explained on Thursday that unless something is specifically allowed under Portsmouth’s zoning ordinance, it is not permissible.
I’ve read more than a few published posts about the New Hampshire Democrats labeling fiasco for the Kennedy-Clinton dinner. There are a few here at GraniteGrok. But this one was so much fun I had to share it. It’s an ancient tradition, this Kennedy-Clinton Dinner. Goes all the way back to 2016. (Is anybody reading this … Read more
Both the FBI or Special Counsel Robert Mueller (mostly both) have been fishing in Lake Collusion for over a year now, with a big staff and a bottomless budget, and what do they have to show for it? The Clinton campaign and the DNC paid for a third party to create a dossier on Trump. But,
“…according to the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, FBI and Justice officials recently told congressional investigators that after spending nearly a year and a half looking into it, “they have not been able to verify or corroborate the substantive allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign outlined in the Trump dossier.”
The Washington Times Reporting,
CBS News has fired Charlie Rose after several women accused the veteran newsman of sexual misconduct.
Rose has been one of three hosts of “CBS This Morning” since 2012 and is also a contributor to “60 Minutes.” PBS and Bloomberg also suspended airings of Rose’s nightly interview show after the Washington Post published an article Monday about women who said he groped them and walked around naked in front of them.
The New York Times just terminated former Politico Reporter and White House correspondent Glenn Thrush.
I guess the New Hampshire Democrat Party is going to meet on December 2nd to discuss changing the name of their Jefferson-Jackson Kennedy-Clinton biggest annual fundraising dinner. I’m not sure why. JFK and WJC are perfect examples of Democrat priorities and politics then and now. And that worked great until Democrats started using Bill’s sexual assault history to push Hillary off the political stage.
Kathy Griffin took to YouTube to share her plight because no one else will put her on the air.
“I just want you guys to know that I am fully in the middle of a blacklist, like I’m in the middle of a Hollywood blacklist. It is real. I’m not booked on any talk shows,” Griffin said.
The Judge Roy Moore “situation” has come at a predictable moment in a critical US Senate race, during a spasm of progressive guilt over the sexual abuse they’ve tolerated (see also hidden) in their own ranks.
The public sexual harassment bloodletting has finally made its way down to the likes of William Jefferson Clinton. A man still being honored by New Hampshire Democrats (last night, in fact) despite the sudden 180 on Bubba by some liberal politicians and progressive media.
Seattle imposed a high earner tax, and both sides are in court fighting for the right to tax or to not to be taxed. The city wants to take other peoples money. The people who earned money would rather not part with it. And in the midst of this fight, the lawyer for the city said,
…what’s preventing a state income tax is an interpretation — a wrong interpretation, Lawrence says. Because, he says, income is not property.
“It comes to you; you then take it and turn it into property — whether it’s a stock or bond or a piece of property — but it’s a very different type of thing,” he says.
What a load of rubbish.
New Hampshire Public Radio reported a surge in the number of hate crimes in New Hampshire for 2016. In sounding the alarm, they quote lower figures for previous years and link to a statement by the Anti-Defamation League not just decrying the rise but insisting that hate crimes are still under-reported.
Sadly, no one takes time to point out that the rise is probably a result of expanding what can be reported as a hate crime and what constitutes a single incident for reporting purposes. And that’s without even getting into the subjective nature of what could constitute a report of a hate crime.
