A recent column of mine alluded to a deal that Rupert Murdoch had concluded with one of the Princes in the Saudi Arabian Muslim leadership.
At that time there were no details available, but since that time we have seen Fox News and its affiliates swarming with actions favorable to our worst enemy, Muslim law.
Old favorites on Fox that once preached good old fashioned American values and candidates such as O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity and others are now, according to a fresh blog from Neil Turner, Citizens for the Constitution on February 15, 2010, “in the enemy camp, and will be promoting ISLAM, a political system that is abhorrent to our Constitution, as it advocates the overthrow of our Government and our Sovereignty BY FORCE!”
Turner furnishes an article written by John Charlton, February 15, 2010, The Post & E-Mail on socialismisnottheanswer.wordpress.com in which Charlton states that “…the former conservative news agency” has entered into a campaign against candidates in Georgia and Texas who have announced their candidacy for governor who “also question the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of U. S. President.” Namely, Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate Nathan Deal and Texas Gubernatorial Candidate Debra Medina.
Charlton went on to say that Fox “showed its true colors” by giving credence to a statement by an opponent of Nathan Deal who criticized Deal for pressing Obama to release his birth certificate. The opponent, Georgia state legislator Austin Scott, claimed Deal hindered working with the president by calling for “childish things like the president to show his birth certificate.”
I agree with Charlton that there is nothing “childish” about challenging Obama about his secrecy in not revealing a Constitutional requirement to confirm his qualification to hold that office. With all the uncertainty as to his legal right to run for the office and the mysterious actions taken by Obama to prevent public display of the original birth document along with just about every other document covering his life from child to adult, asking for verification is a stout showing of mature thinking as opposed to the charge of “childishness.”
Charlton finishes saying, “By this statement, FOX has made it absolutely clear to America that they will not tolerate anyone who will not work with Obama and be respectful to him”; as well as “American patriots need to start asking themselves what other so-called “conservative” sources of information have been bought out by the same forces, which want to keep Obama in power, for the sake of Islam.”
Another true patriot who offers opinions on NewsWithViews.com and other true conservative outlets including Canada Free Press, Dr. Laurie Roth on February 12, 2010 in the former, asked the question: “Who Is Influencing and Controlling Fox?
In her ‘get-right-to-the-heart-of-it’ style, Roth inquires of the reader, “did you know that the second largest owner of Fox, parent corporation Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp is Prince Ahwaleed binTalal of Saudi Arabia?” She claims that the Prince has been buying his anti-Semitic and Muslim way right into American life with $20 million gifts such as given to Georgetown and Harvard Universities for Islamic study departments.
Dr. Roth also states that the generous Prince gave $500,000 to CAIR the Council on American Islamic Relations but he also gave $27 million “to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers”, calling them “martyrs.”
She explains that the Prince is a rather close friend of Murdoch’s son James “who is known for his anti-Israel views and left wing radical environmental and global warming nonsense.”
These revelations may seem shocking to many of us, myself included, and a feeling of being betrayed somehow penetrates all of my senses and feelings. The entire Mainstream Media has abandoned all American patriots looking for assistance to prevent a socialist takeover of our country, but at least we thought we had Fox News Corp. on our side. Now sadly we find that they have deserted us.
All the more reason why we have got to start recruiting born and bred American patriots; cull the ranks of patriotic organizations and look for leaders to fight for our American ideals and get them elected to Congress.
It’s our only hope to save our country from Islam rule and total socialism.
OK.
We can’t trust Fox anymore so we have to look for online conservative voices that can be trusted to carry our message of freedom and right.
When you do find a worthy candidate make it known to as many like-minded persons you can contact. This battle against evil and evil people is just beginning. Don’t give up. Keep fighting. We’re all we have left.
And above all, tell them to be wary of sheiks in sheep’s clothing.
O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity, Van Susteren, Judas is thy name. I’ll leave Rupert Murdoch for you, my readers, to name.

Re: Fox News Abandons Patriotic Americans by Selling Out to Muslim Interests
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has agreed to buy a 9.09pc stake in Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's Rotana television and media empire for $70m (£45m).

The acquisition is News Corp's first major investment in the Middle East, a region it has earmarked due to its growing and affluent media market.
James Murdoch, News Corp's head of Europe and Asia, said: "A stake in Rotana expands our presence in a region with a young and growing population," where economic growth "is set to outstrip that of more developed economies in the years ahead".
Rotana, which hosts News Corp's Fox channels in Saudi Arabia, owns the rights to more than 2,000 Arabic movies and the world's largest Arabic language music library. News Corp has the option to increase its holding to 18.18pc.
Prince Alwaleed said the deal would be a "qualitative leap" for the whole of the Arab world because it would give the region access to News Corp's television, film and internet experience.
The move increases the links between News Corp and Prince Alwaleed, who with a 7pc stake is the biggest shareholder in News Corp outside of the Murdoch family.

Re: Fox News Abandons Patriotic Americans by Selling Out to Muslim Interests
News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch announced on Tuesday that the Gulf emirate of Abu Dhabi is to become the headquarters of his global media empire in the Middle East. Addressing some 400 delegates at the opening of the Abu Dhabi Media Summit, Murdoch said his corporation had started out as a small Australian firm to become a US-based international company that employs 64,000 people.
"I have every confidence that Arab companies can do the same and more. I also believe that Abu Dhabi can lead the way."
Murdoch said News Corp would headquarter its Middle Eastern global online advertising operations in Abu Dhabi, and move a number of satellite television channels to the capital of the United Arab Emirates from Hong Kong.
"We will (also) establish a production office here for one of our documentary film-making companies," he said.
"When we look to the future, News Corporation is betting on the creative potential of the more than 335 million people who make up the Arab world," he added.
Organised by the Abu Dhabi government, the three-day summit is expected to address the potential of the emerging media markets in the Middle East, India and China.
Mohammed Khalaf al-Mazruei, who heads the Abu Dhabi Media Company, told delegates that "the Middle East is experiencing radical change," and that its media should "accompany this revolution."
News Corp has already established strong links with the region, last month agreeing to invest 70 million dollars in the Rotana Group, which is controlled by Saudi tycoon Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, after buying a 9.0 percent stake in the firm.
Alwaleed's Kingdom holding company also owns around 7.0 percent of News Corp's class B common stock.

Re: Fox News Abandons Patriotic Americans by Selling Out to Muslim Interests
Later this year - a specific date was not disclosed - the controversial host will leave the show, and instead, work on unspecified projects down the road.
The parting comes after weeks of speculation about the relationship between Beck and brass at the cable news network, where his popular show - while very strong - had lost some of its luster.
"I truly believe that America owes a lot to Roger Ailes and Fox News," Beck said in a statement. "I cannot repay Roger for the lessons I've learned and will continue to learn from him and I look forward to starting this new phase of our partnership."
Ratings for his show are off nearly 40% year-to-year. More importantly, advertisers would not buy in, and he'd become a lightning rod for watchdog groups.
For instance, Media Matters for America had made Beck a daily punching bag, picking apart whatever the host said to stir up its followers.
Fox News, along with Beck's Mercury Radio Arts production company, will work together to produce a variety of television projects for Fox News and other platforms, according to the announcement.
"Glenn Beck is a powerful communicator, a creative entreprenuer and a true success by anybody's standards," Ailes said in a statement. "I look forward to continuing to work with him."
Joel Cheatwood, senior vice president of development at Fox News, will join Mercury Radio Arts on April 24.
Beck's nightly show launched on Fox News 27 months ago. He joined Fox after a run on HLN.
His show averaged more than 2.2 million viewers during his time on Fox, though had dropped in the last year.
His syndicated radio show is one of the most popular in the country.
Outside of radio and TV, he's also a best-selling author and a participant in a comedy tour.
In fact, Beck will be on tour next week. His time slot will be filled by Judge Andrew Napolitano and Eric Bolling, and each could be potential long-term replacements.
Daytime anchor Megyn Kelly is also considered a candidate to take over the 5 p.m. time slot when Beck exits.

Re: Fox News Abandons Patriotic Americans by Selling Out to Muslim Interests
First, you’ll need to bear with me as each section has its own chalkboard, so let’s start with the nation’s involved:
This of course introduces the most obvious of questions:
Why would China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia want Glenn Beck fired?
In due time I think I can explain that satisfactorily. Just remember that in the mainstream media, which Fox News and News Corp. represent, when a relationship goes south it is not labeled a firing or termination unless it was an extreme circumstance due to personal misconduct. When a star leaves a network or program due to a non-renewal of a contract or failure to reach an understanding on a new one, it is usually painted over as a mutually agreed upon separation with flowery language like ‘Mr. X will continue to work with the company on special projects and was a valued member of the team,’ etc., etc.
To understand the thinking of the Saudis in this matter, you either have to grab a time machine back to the 7th century A.D. or meet Prince Al Waleed bin Talal from the Saudi royal family. The good Prince is one of the wealthiest men in the Middle East and one of the most powerful investors in the world, given the nickname of the “Middle East’s Warren Buffett.” Unfortunately for Americans who are naive enough to think that the Fox News Channel can not be censored by outside interests, that fallacy is about to be destroyed. Prince Al Walled bin Talal first came to notoriety when he offered Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York $10 million to help the city after 9/11 which the good Mayor promptly sent back. After this rejection which did cause some degree of hard feelings within the rejection, a new strategy for investing and exerting influence inside the United States.
Thus when Citigroup had a need for capital, the Saudis stepped in via Prince Al Waleed’s Kingdom Holding Company and began purchasing shares. Then in 2005 he purchased 5.46% of the Class B voting shares in NewsCorp, Fox News Channel’s parent corporation. This evolved into an almost 7% share by 2010. Despite popular belief, the Prince does exert enough influence on FNC’s content when the Paris Muslim Youth riots erupted the good Prince was watching the network and picked the phone up when the strap line displayed “Muslim Riots” referring to the youths in Paris who were burning cars and attacking police. The Prince contacted the CEO of NewsCorp, Rupert Murdoch and told him the following (From: The Guardian U.K., December 12, 2005):
“I picked up the phone and called Murdoch and said that I was speaking not as a shareholder, but as a viewer of Fox. I said that these are not Muslim riots, they are riots,” Campaign Middle East magazine quoted the prince as saying.
“He investigated the matter and called Fox and within half an hour it was changed from ‘Muslim riots’ to ‘civil riots’.”
The prince said his intervention had been an example of how Muslim people can change the portrayal of their religion in the western media – although few Fox viewers will have his contacts.
This disturbing incident has never escaped my attention and as Mr. Beck engaged in the numerous yet edgy discussions about recent events in the Middle East, be it the 12th Imam to the protests from Tunisia to Bahrain, I was concerned about his exposes about the desires of the region for an Arab Renaissance where all of the Islamic nations would reunite under a singular Caliphate to expand Islam in an orderly fashion insuring world influence or dominance. Thus as each matter or subject was embedded on his chalkboard, another notch was also placed in the tally against the program being continued if the Saudi royal family had any input, which obviously they do. When you add the close ties and relationship has with the nation of Israel on top of this matter, it was only a matter of time before the Prince called Rupert again, in my opinion, and put pressure on Mr. Murdoch to discontinue the relationship as structured now.
Alas, the good prince was not the only player however:
The players, all quite powerful, have unique aligned desires mostly centered on restructuring the world order to insure total power and profit at their beck and call (sorry for the pun Glenn if you ever read this). While my chalkboard may not seem logical, the truth is all three individuals, while not directly or openly exhibiting hostility to Mr. Beck or the United States, have a distinct understanding of geopolitics and the ability to change the order of nations to maximize profit and power. Soros has openly been investing in Chinese corporations, many of which are direct bets against U.S. multinationals, for well over a decade now while promoting Chinese hegemony. On the flip side, Prince Al Waleed has been pouring money into Europe and the United States in order to maintain the status quo as it has been for half a century and protect their interests. The final player, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, has a direct interest in Soros succeeding in his actions to weaken the United States while increasing their influence in the MENA region (Middle East-North Africa) as well as insuring raw materials and petroleum to their expanding nation and empire.
Thus the lure of power and profits for all three men have strangely drawn them together, not to mention a nuisance who created internationally embarrassing television and radio episodes which caused discomfort and in some cases anger for the nations they represent and mutual interests. This thorn in their side had to be eliminated, especially as China and the Saudi sphere of influence have developed even closer ties in the last three years.
As the crisis with the MENA dictatorships accelerated, the House of Saud sought closer ties to Russia and China due to the mismanagement of the U.S. State Department and doubts about Obama’s leadership abilities (See: White House Actions Pushing Saudi Arabia toward China and Russia, Digital Journal April 7, 2011). While this might seem alarming to China, Russia, Wen Jiabao, and George Soros, this is the once in a lifetime opportunity to take care of a lot of chess pieces in one move while providing the Saudis a new set of partners to protect their interests.
Thus as the good prince went to these other parties via his emissaries, other wealthy associates probably asked him to pressure his friend Rupert Murdoch to eliminate the problem of Glenn Beck’s contract and First Amendment rights. The nice thing about Glenn is he is a double edged sword, cutting in both directions which often uncovers the truth faster, but leaves few if any allies with enough power to prevent an onslaught should the winds change.
This brings me to the final chalkboard, which makes terrifying sense and please pardon my “Becklines” tying the nations and power players together:
Since I am too tired to draw up another chalkboard on my Adobe Photoshop, let’s just list the flow of events as I speculate the ultimate goal:
1. Saudi Arabia and the Wahhabi sect have long desired to restore the greater Islamic Caliphate, including expanded influence in the U.S.
2. Russia is dying to take the U.S. down a notch and return to the stage as a world power a long with increasing the size of the economy via European and Central Asian dominance.
3. China is an emerging power and can not usurp the United States nor isolate them until the U.S. economy is neutralized.
4. George Soros (among many others) is heavily invested in China, Russia and other nations (BRICS plus) looking to maximize profit while installing a new banking and currency regime.
Thus…..
5. George Soros created and supported a candidate of such weakness and ineptitude for the United States that once the problems re-emerged after the near fatal economic crash of 08-09, he would be easy to manipulate for the right price and advance the Soros agenda. Thus as the problems began anew, the incompetence would prove to be a benefit to the prepared and a bane to the allies and nation as a whole.
6. Wen Jiabao understood that the financial crisis gave China the extra power it needed to begin the process of divorcing from the United States financial and economic influence and began looking to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East (bulk of the world population) to broaden its influence and imperialist goals.
7. Russia understood that by neutralizing the U.S. it could monopolize the energy needs for Europe and take a dominant role in supplying China with raw materials and some finished goods.
Hence….
8. As the MENA region erupted, some randomly, others suspiciously with the appearance of being planned, the perfect opportunity to exploit the crisis and accelerate the shift presented itself.
9. And Glenn Beck dared to speak out at an inopportune moment for them (the execution point of the plan) and for himself (contract negotiation time) which caused anguish and anger, I’m fairly certain, towards Mr. Beck.
Resulting in….
Certain power players who have been victims of Glenn’s reporting to contact the one man with enough influence over Rupert Murdoch to terminate the relationship between FNC and Glenn Beck. While Soros could not and would not call, it is not beyond his skill to ask the Chinese premier to exert influence on the Saudi monarchy to pressure NewsCorp. It is also not outrageous to expect the Russians to ask for this favor from the Saudis also, thus insuring that trillions of dollars of commerce, profit, and a shift in power could continue uninterrupted without reporting by that pesky quasi-journalist. When one reflects on the stories casting radical Islam in a negative light, it does not take much of a reach to accept the premise that the Saudis were pressing for Glenn’s removal also.
In my opinion, as the negotiations began for Glenn this year, a change in the pace and type of world events along with a determined effort to protect the new order of crony capitalism with a shift to final neutralization of the “American problem” be it our debt or military power was to be executed. This meant that for Rupert’s heir, James, to inherit a clean company rid of controversy, the senior Murdoch would acquiesce to the wishes of the Saudis and proceed with the separation of Mr. Beck from the NewsCorp empire.
Tinfoil hat time? Perhaps.
Unfortunately $1400 gold was tinfoil hat time thirty months ago also as the idea of protests on the streets in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
Godspeed Mr. Beck, you did one hell of a service trying to expose what you could while you could, unfortunately it would appear that the greatest assemblage of evil has managed to cast a shadow of darkness over the light of truth.
For the moment.

Re: Fox News Abandons Patriotic Americans by Selling Out to Muslim Interests
Cydney Henderson, USA TODAY Published 1:49 p.m. ET March 17, 2019 | Updated 1:21 p.m. ET March 18, 2019
A week after Jeanine Pirro questioned U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's hijab and patriotism on the air, Fox News pulled "Justice With Judge Jeanine" because of "scheduling matters."
Pirro's show was replaced Saturday night by a rerun of the documentary series “Scandalous: The Trial of William Kennedy Smith.”
"We are not commenting on internal scheduling matters," Fox News said in a statement Sunday to USA TODAY. The network wouldn't elaborate on why Pirro's show didn't air during its weekend slot.
Pirro has been embroiled in controversy following a segment last week, where she questioned if Omar's headscarf means the Minnesota congresswoman prioritizes Sharia law above the U.S. Constitution she took an oath to protect and defend.
"Omar wears the hijab, which according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested," Pirro said during her "Opening Statement" segment on March 10. "Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?"
It's not unusual for Pirro to get criticized for the things she says on the air but it is slightly out of the ordinary for the rebukes to come from within Fox News itself.
In a statement to USA TODAY, Fox said, "We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar. They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly."
Fox staffer Hufsa Kamal made a personal appeal to her colleague: "@JudgeJeanine, can you stop spreading this false narrative that somehow Muslims hate America or women who wear a hijab aren’t American enough? You have Muslims working at the same network you do, including myself."
@JudgeJeanine can you stop spreading this false narrative that somehow Muslims hate America or women who wear a hijab aren’t American enough? You have Muslims working at the same network you do, including myself. K thx. https://t.co/ZfKhRhlvM3
— Hufsa Kamal (@hufkat) March 10, 2019
Pirro's remarks prompted several advertisers to leave her show, including drugmaker Novo Nordisk. "We respect each person’s right to express their thinking and beliefs, however, we are re-evaluating our advertising on this program at this time," the company said in a statement to USA TODAY.
Later, Pirro issued an invitation to Omar to appear on her show and said she merely intended to "ask a question and start a debate." She reassured the network and viewers that she knows that being a Muslim "does not mean you don’t support the Constitution."
Pirro, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, received his support on Twitter Sunday morning.
"Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro," Trump tweeted. "The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well."
Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox .....
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019
In another tweet, Trumpsaid the network's competitors are only jealous of their ratings adding, "they all want what you’ve got - NUMBER ONE."
It is not clear when Pirro's show will return to the air. As of now, "Justice With Judge Jeanine" does not appear on the Fox News schedule for the upcoming weekend.
“Donna Brazile on being signed as a Fox contributor: “There’s an audience on Fox News that doesn’t hear enough from Democrats. We have to engage that audience.” — Howard Kutz
So much for fair and balanced.
Brazile is a known liar and cheater who should be under investigation for her role in many schemes during the 2016 election. One of the schemes was feeding debate questions to Hillary Clinton before a televised debate.
Last Saturday night, one of the guests on Greg Gutfeld’s evening show on Fox News was a former Marine staff sergeant, bomb technician Johnny “Joey” Jones, who lost his legs when he stepped on an IED in Afghanistan in 2010. He brought to mind a young Jimmy Stewart: winsome, modest, good-spirited, and even able to crack jokes about his missing limbs. Watching him, I thought: here is a young man who was handicapped for life because, in the wake of 9/11, he was one of those courageous Americans who agreed to risk their lives in foreign lands fighting their nation’s enemy.
But what is that enemy? The unofficial name given to the struggle by the White House under George W. Bush – the War on Terror – avoided answering that question. So, for that matter, did the official name, Operation Enduring Freedom. From the very beginning, in fact, the exact nature of the whole enterprise was swathed in a fog of euphemism and evasion. The men who flew those planes into the Twin Towers and Pentagon were devout Muslims, obeying their religion’s holy book by slaughtering infidels en masse. The Taliban leaders in Afghanistan were also devout Muslims, ruling that nation in strict accordance with sharia law. And yet days after 9/11, even as Bush was planning the Afghanistan campaign, he told the American people that “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace.”
In the eighteen years since, the Western political and media establishment have continued to echo that lie. Jihadists have struck Bali, Madrid, Beslan, London, Mumbai, Fort Hood, Paris, San Bernardino, Brussels, Orlando, Nice, Manchester, Barcelona, and New York again – just to name a few of the deadlier and more high-profile incidents. Yet, perversely, the lie about Islam is stronger than ever. Throughout the West, schoolchildren and college students alike have been fed a picture of Islam that’s pure propaganda. Yes, one has the impression that many people are more aware of the reality of Islam than they used to be – but one also has the impression that they feel more cowed than ever into keeping quiet about it.
It‘s certainly harder now to publish a frank book about Islam than it was, say, a decade ago. Prominent individuals who openly criticized the religion a few years back now either stay mum or use the word “Islamism,” which implies that jihadists are motivated by something other than Islam itself. In Britain and elsewhere, the authorities increasingly harass, and even prosecute, citizens for sharing straightforward facts about Islam on social media. While the kind of people Hillary Clinton called “deplorables” support sensible policies, such as Trump’s so-called “Muslim ban,” that are designed to protect them from jihad (whether of the violent or “stealth” variety), cultural elites have learned to reflexively condemn such policies as “Islamophobic.” Countless ordinary Brits cheer Tommy Robinson, but has any famous person – any “respectable” figure – in that country dared to stand up for him in the face of official persecution?
Saturday before last, Judge Jeanine Pirro, whose weekly hour on Fox News airs immediately before Gutfeld’s, opened her show with a powerful editorial about the pathetic failure of the House of Representatives to properly chastise freshman Congresswoman Ilhan Omar for her repeated expressions of anti-Semitism. In the course of her editorial, Pirro made a thoroughly legitimate point: “Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Koran 33:59 tells women to cover so that they don’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”
It was a perfectly fair question, based on an understanding of Islam that’s presumably not shared by the non-Muslim residents of Minnesota’s fifth district who voted for Omar last November – or, for that matter, by the Michiganders who elected Omar’s fellow Muslim Rashida Tlaib. A hijab is, quite simply, a declaration of adherence to sharia law, and sharia law is antithetical to the Constitution. This is the kind of simple (if uncomfortable) fact about which American leaders, journalists, and educators should have been honest starting on September 11, 2001. But in 2019 it’s too much truth for Fox News, which was quick to publicly censure Pirro for her statement. I criticized the network for this cowardly act. So did a number of others. But most commentators gave Fox a thumbs-up.
I assumed that Fox’s public chiding of Pirro would be the end of it; but no, this past Saturday there was no Justice with Judge Jeanine. According to reports, she’d been suspended. For how long? Unclear. President Trump wasn’t happy. “Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro,” he tweeted, advising the bosses at Fox to “Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct.” Katie Hopkins tweeted: “Where is the network’s loyalty? She is the token sacrifice to placate the mob.”
What’s really being sacrificed, of course, isn’t just Judge Jeanine. What’s being sacrificed is the truth about Islam itself. It’s the stubborn refusal of the Western establishment to acknowledge this truth that has led to the absurd and, yes, tragic situation in which we now find ourselves: namely, that while the armed forces of the U.S. and its allies have been combating jihadists in Afghanistan for over seventeen years and in Iraq for sixteen years, resulting in a massive loss of life and treasure, we’ve continued to allow barely vetted Muslims to immigrate into our own countries, permitted mosques to proliferate with little or no official oversight of what’s being preached in them, voted more and more Muslims into positions of power, and shrugged indifferently while cities like Dearborn and Hamtramck turned into Muslim strongholds.
Johnny Jones lost his legs fighting adherents of the same ideology to which Ilhan Omar subscribes and that Judge Jeanine was suspended for criticizing. None of it makes any sense: if you’re going to keep the floodgates open to them at home, why send young men into battle against them abroad? Why kill them in southern Asia and vote them into Congress in the U.S.? Why wage endless wars while punishing those who correctly name the enemy? If Western leaders had responded to 9/11 in a more sensible and consistent way, we wouldn’t have been in Afghanistan in 2010, Johnny Jones would still have his legs, Judge Jeanine would’ve been on TV last Saturday, and Ilhan Omar, who moved to America in 1995, might or might not still be living in the country, but she sure as hell wouldn’t be in Congress.
There’s no way to rewrite the past. But we can’t keep marching mindlessly down this dangerous road.
A Fox 10 host in Phoenix whose bosses asked her to hide her account on “right-wing” social media platform Parler because a left-wing outlet might notice it had a terse response; “F*ck them”.
Fox 10’s Emmy Award-winning anchor Kari Lake dropped the f-bomb on camera as she was preparing to do a Facebook Live broadcast and the clip was subsequently leaked online.
The video shows her co-host John Hook suggesting that station managers wanted her to hide her Parler account because of potential bad press from left-wing outlet the Phoenix New Times.
“I think they just think it’s been branded as a far-right kind of place,” Hook said, to which Lake responded, “Jesus”.
“So they don’t want you tied in with anything like that, where you’re going to get blowback from the New Times or whoever it is,” said Hook.
“Fuck them. They’re 20-year-old dopes,” Lake responded. “That’s a rag for selling marijuana ads”.
“I know,” Hook said. “But then you’re in a position where they’ve gotta explain it or you’ve gotta explain it”.
“I’m reaching people,” Lake said.
The issue was raised after FTV Live published an article revealing that Lake maintained an account on Parler (as if this was some terribly evil deed).
After her outburst, Lake was not on air in her usual 5pm time slot. Her Parler account is still active.
The continued listing to port of Fox News, which rose to prominence precisely because it cut through the politically correct swamp fog that passed as media news just as Donald Trump sliced through the swamp itself on his way to the White House, was on full display on Fox News Sunday when host Chris Wallace joined Democrats whose latest charge of Trump racism occurred when Trump reminded Baltimore Rep. Elijah Cummings that conditions in his rat-infested congressional district were worse than conditions in ICE detention centers on our porous southern border with Mexico.
Chris Wallace took the occasion of his interview with White House Chief of Staff Mitch Mulvaney to attack President Trump and his tweets pointing out the Cummings’ and Democrat double standard, As Red State reported:
For those who are unfamiliar with the story, in a series of predawn tweets, Trump wrote:
Rep. Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous.
His district is considered the Worst in the USA. As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cummings’ District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.
Finally, he wrote: “Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!
This was all Wallace needed to unload on Mulvaney, who was going to have none of this latest recitation by Wallace of Democrat talking points which ignore the bitter truth of what Trump tweeted:
Just as White House senior advisor Stephen Miller did last week on Wallace’s program, Mulvaney refused to allow him to label the President as a racist. Mulvaney not only defended his boss, he managed to offend Wallace. And that was a beautiful thing.
Wallace said: “This seems, Mick, to be the worst kind of racial stereotyping. Let me finish. Black Congressman, majority black district. [He quotes Trump] ‘No human being would want to live there.’ Is he saying that people who live in Baltimore are not human beings?” Mulvaney replied:
…The President is attacking Mr. Cummings for saying things that are not true about the border. I think it’s right for the President to raise the issue.
Look, I was in Congress for six years. If I had poverty in my district like they have in Baltimore, if I had crime in my district like they have in Chicago, if I had homelessness in my district like they have in San Francisco, and I spent all of my time in Washington, D.C., chasing down this Mueller investigation, this bizarre impeachment crusade, I’d get fired. I think the president is right to raise that. It has absolutely zero to do with race.
No, Chris, President Trump is not saying the people of Baltimore are not human beings and you know it. That they have to live in these conditions is the fault of hypocritical liberal Democrats who have run cities like Baltimore for decades, run them into the ground, while they bemoan the fact of well-treated migrants.
President Trump commented on the decline of Fox News as an objective source of information, particularly its weekend lineup. As the Washington Examiner reported:
President Trump criticized Fox News' weekend lineup, saying they were loading up with Democrats, making them worse than CNN. "Watching @FoxNews weekend anchors is worse than watching low ratings Fake News @CNN, or Lyin’ Brian Williams," Trump said Sunday on Twitter. "Like CNN, NBC is also way down in the ratings. But @FoxNews, who failed in getting the very BORING Dem debates, is now loading up with Democrats & even using Fake unsourced @nytimes as a 'source' of information." "@FoxNews is changing fast, but they forgot the people who got them there!" Trump added.
So it would seem as FOX recently embraced its latest Democratic heartthrob, former DNC Chair Donna Brazile to comment on Trump’s non-collusion and obstruction of justice. She replaces the now-deported State Department “jobs for ISIS” airhead, Marie Harf. Brazile, it may be recalled, stood by as foreign entities hacked her computers, perhaps too busy turning the DNC into a wholly owned subsidiary of Team Clinton as she colluded to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders. Imagine the joy Fox viewers feel when she pops up on “Fox and Friends” as they sip their morning coffee.
We have the midday meltdown, Shepard Smith, who once criticized Louisiana for saying “all lives matter” in response to those who were celebrating the war on cops:
“Governor, you know, you know that that phrase you just used is is one that’s seen by many as, as derogatory, right? I, I just wonder why it is that you use that phrase when there’s a certain segment of the population that believes it’s a real dig on ’em.”
All lives matter is derogatory only to Al Sharpton and Shepard Smith. Not to be outdone is the human bobble head doll, Juan Williams, whose mug shots are a meme unto themselves, who said, on an episode of Fox News Sunday, that Nancy Pelosi is right when she says Trump’s putting the citizenship question on the U.S. Census is racist. As RealClearPolitics reported:
Nancy Pelosi said this week, this is an effort to make America white again. I think that's what's going on because we know that Republican operatives wanted to depress this count in order to limit congressional districts that were run by Democrats.
Time was when Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano was as suspicious as the rest of us about the deep state coup and the Obama administration’s role in it. As the Los Angeles Times reported:
The former New Jersey Superior Court judge, citing unnamed sources, said that the British foreign surveillance agency, the Government Communications Headquarters, “most likely” provided Obama with transcripts of Trump’s recorded calls. “By bypassing all American intelligence services, Obama would have had access to what he wanted with no Obama administration fingerprints,” Napolitano wrote in a column on FoxNews.com.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer cited Napolitano’s charge last week when asked why President Trump continues to stand by his initial claim. The British spy agency sharply denounced Napolitano’s allegations, saying they are “utterly ridiculous and should be ignored."
That was before Fox took him off the air and suspended him for saying what we all know now to be the case -- that even friendly governments were used to set Trump up. Upon his return he began to sing a different tune, agreeing with the likes of Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann. As RealClearPolitics reported:
So when Bob Mueller said the president of the United States did about a dozen things to slow down, impede, negate, or interfere with the investigation of his campaign, or of his former national security advisor, Gen. Michael Flynn, that is a serious allegation of criminal activity. So when the president asked his former advisor and my former colleague at Fox News, KT McFarland, to write an untruthful letter to the file, knowing the government would subpoena it, that's obstruction of justice. When the president asked Corey Lewandowski, his former campaign manager, to get Mueller fired, that is obstruction of justice. When the president asked his then-White House counsel to get Mueller fired and then lie about it, that's obstruction of justice. When the president asked Don McGahn to go back to the special counsel and change his testimony that's obstruction of justice. When he dangled the pardon in front of Michael Cohen in order to prevent Cohen from testifying against him that is obstruction of justice. Why not charge him?
Throw in the Jessica Tarlovs and the endless stream of taking-point reciting Democratic strategists and sometimes it seems you might as well be watching CNN or MSNBC. Welcome to the new Fox News.. They distort. You decide.
