Heartbreak at CNN As Scott Jennings Ties Panel in Knots on Biden DOJ and the Lies About the Hunter Pardon – RedState
December 3, 2024
As the fallout from Joe Biden’s “full and unconditional” pardoning of his son, convicted felon Hunter Biden, continues, the President’s apologists in the mainstream media and on the left continue to gloss over the lies he repeatedly told about how he would respect the rule of law and not do what he ended up doing on Sunday night. RedState previously reported, for instance, that the press was leaning heavily on the sympathy card as it related to the Biden family, with one ABC News journalist lovingly declaring that Biden was “protecting his only living son.” Others calculatingly used words like “reversal” and “turnaround” rather than the better choice of words to describe his flip-flop: He lied. READ MORE: The Big ‘Tell’ in the Media’s Coverage of Joe Biden’s Pardoning of Hunter Biden Over at CNN, however, Republican strategist/commentator Scott Jennings was having none of it. Fresh off of going nuclear on Democrat political consultant Karen Finney who, incredibly, suggested Joe Biden never lied about the issue of pardoning his son, Jennings rose to the occasion again Monday night, tying his fellow panelists in knots over the bogus suggestion that… Read the full article here […]
Train Influencers About Combatting Online “Misinformation”
December 3, 2024
The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is now incorporating teaching influencers how to “fact check” into its activities. UNESCO claims that influencers have become “primary sources of news and cultural information” around the world – which prompted it to carry out a survey into how these online personalities verify the “news” they present. Related: World Leaders Sign New Censorship Declaration at UN Event While Secretary-General António Guterres Pushed for Increased Online Censorship Citizens in UN member-countries may or may not be happy that this is how their taxpayer money funding the world organization is being spent these days. But UNESCO is not only conducting surveys; it is also developing a training course for said influencers (which are also interchangeably referred to as content creators in press releases). It’s meant to teach them not only to “report misinformation, disinformation and hate speech” but also to collaborate with legacy media and these outlets’ journalists, in order to “amplify fact-based information.” The survey, “Behind the screens,” was done together with researchers from the US Bowling… Read the full article here […]

Liberal Women Preparing to Undergo Sterilization Out of Protest Against Trump › American Greatness
December 3, 2024
Numerous left-wing female activists have vowed to get permanently sterilized as a form of protest against President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election. As Breitbart reports, several of these women were featured in a report by Newsweek, where they expressed fears over their so-called “reproductive rights” now that the pro-life Republican is prepared to resume office in January. However, President-elect Trump has repeatedly said that he intends to leave the issue of abortion up to the individual states and would not support a federal ban. One of the women featured in the report is 25-year-old Eden Ixora of Florida, an OnlyFans model, who said that she is planning to go through a bilateral salpingectomy, since she believes that “the idea of getting pregnant is worse than death.” “For me it was a call to action. A need to get this locked in so I don’t have to live in fear that at any moment some random guy can completely destroy my life,” said Ixora. “For me the idea of getting pregnant is worse than death. I’m doing what I can to protect my right to choose. I am choosing me.” Another woman, 28-year-old Lydia Echols of Texas, who… Read the full article here […]
“I’m Sh**ting My Pants” – TDS Sufferer Bill Maher Loses It and Threatens to Cancel His HBO Show Over President Trump (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit
December 3, 2024
Bill Maher fumes about President Trump on his podcast Club Random. Credit: Club Random Podcast YouTube screenshot While liberal HBO talk show host Bill Maher occasionally has his moments of clarity, his case of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now so severe he may throw away his career over it. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Bill Maher recently hosted far-left actress ‘Hanoi’ Jane Fonda on his Club Random podcast, where she completely embarrassed herself over a variety of topics. But Maher also did not come out of their conversation unscathed. The subject inevitably turned to President-elect Donald Trump when Maher brought up a joke Trump made about the late legendary golfer Arnold Palmer. The ‘comedian’ started to lose it and coarsely fumed that he may retire and cancel his eponymous HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher because he did not want to deal with Trump for four more years. Maher continued to angrily whine even when Fonda tried to ‘comfort’ him about the fact that Trump hates Jimmy Kimmel more than him and to find something else to talk about. Maher argued that avoiding Trump would be impossible because the entire HBO show revolves around… Read the full article here […]

Democrat Strategist Reveals What Obama and Pelosi Really Think of Kamala Harris – PJ Media
December 3, 2024
In the wake of Trump’s victory, it’s been open season on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, particularly from the consultant class. One person taking aim is Democratic strategist and Democratic National Finance Committee member Lindy Li, who has been making the rounds with media hits the past few weeks and not holding back in her criticisms. In a candid interview with NewsNation’s Natasha Zouves earlier this week, Li shed light on key figures in the Democratic Party, including Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, and what they really think about Kamala Harris. The conversation largely focused on the fact that neither Obama nor Pelosi wanted Kamala to top the ticket after Joe Biden was forced out of the race. While many figured as much, Li confirmed this was absolutely the case. When asked directly, “Do you agree that Obama and Pelosi did not want Harris?” Li didn’t mince words. “I know they didn’t,” she replied. “I have a lot of friends in Obama World, and actually, I’m friends with Speaker Pelosi, and I spoke with her before….” “And what did she tell you?” asked Zouves. “It’s not a matter of conjecture for me. I know they… Read the full article here […]
WaPo’s Editorial Board Rips Biden Pardon as ‘Selfish’
December 3, 2024
President Joe Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden is “selfish,” legitimizing potential pardons of January 6 defendants, the Washington Post’s editorial board complained Tuesday. The paper’s statement comes after media elites had for months regurgitated Joe Biden’s repeated lie that he would not pardon Hunter – all while Joe Biden reportedly planned to do so. The Post’s editorial board seemed to accuse Joe Biden of undermining its narratives about him. In one action, the Post explained, Joe Biden gave the lie to claims that the president upheld the rule of law and had respect for the judicial process, institutional integrity, and democratic principles. The Post’s editorial board wrote: Mr. Biden, of course, argues that pardoning his son strikes a blow for fairness in law enforcement. His statement on the pardon — in which he uses the words, “I believe in the justice system, but …” — claims that “no reasonable person” could “reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son.” Yet such considerations were apparently not so compelling when he pledged previously not to pardon Hunter. And his son clearly… Read the full article here […]
