I STAND WITH JUDGE JEANNINE

The American leftists expressed outrage after FOX NEWS opinion hist Judge Jeannine Pirro expressed disdain with Rep. Ilhan Omar in Saturday's show.  Omar has been repeatedly trashing the United States and everything it stands for.

FOX NEWS, nevertheless, chose to cave in to leftist outrage and publicly rebuked Judge Pirro for her comments.  “We strongly condemn Judge 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.”

In  doing so, FOX has taken the stand that it approves of Omar's hateful anti-American and antisemitic dialogue. 

FOX NEWS can go to hell.

BANNON IS A DISGRACEFUL CHARLATAN

Steve Bannon, once thought to have the President's back and to be a critical player in the early days of Trump's administration, now exits "stage left" just about as disgraced as anybody can get.  It certainly appears to me that he has broken any and all relationships of trust; at is alleged that, even going back before his days at the White House, Bannon was surreptitiously working to derail the Trump campaign.   

When the word came out about Michael Wolff's book, it took Bannon almost two weeks to "express regrets" for the things he allegedly said.  While finally insisting that he is an avid supporter of Trump, he has yet to make any apology for the book.  Furthermore, if any of the words attributed to him in that book were actually not made or were falsified, Bannon has not denied he said them and has not taken any legal action against the book's author or publisher.  

The backers of a great website started by Andrew Breitbart in 2007 have now stopped shipping money to support the site.  Bannon, it's Chief Executive Officer, has reluctantly stepped down in an effort to save the site.  

Based on these facts, we have to presume that Bannon is guilty as charged.  The sad part is that there are still numerous actors in Washington who also profess to stand behind Trump but, in all reality, want desperately to see him fail.  These are the people who don't give a damn about the will of the people who elected Trump... truly anti-Americans in every sense of the word.  Hopefully, we Americans have learned something about Washington in this process and will take steps to prevent a repeat what was actually very close to an overthrow of our government.  

As for Bannon and people like him, they will all hopefully rot in hell.

BILL MAHER ACCUSES TRUMP OF INCEST

SPECIAL POST

This from THE BLAZE: "Speaking with New York Magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman, Maher joked that Ivanka’s attempts to 'humanize' her father only lead him to believe that deviant sexual behavior is going on behind closed doors. “'A lot of us thought: Ivanka is gonna be our saving grace,' Maher said. 'When he’s about to f**kin’ nuke Finland or something, she’s gonna walk into the bedroom and, you know, —‘Daddy, Daddy,’' and mimicked Ivanka pleasuring her father with a lewd hand gesture. “‘Don’t do it, Daddy,'” he mocked." 

Any respectable political party would terminate his membership.  It's beyond crude, vulgar and obscene, totally beyond the pale and very unacceptable in any civilized society.  Maher is a sick, disgusting pervert and beyond that, he's a Democrat.

BLOCKBUSTER REPORT! OBAMA APOLOGIZES TO TRUMP!!

Late yesterday evening, long after news outlets had gone home for the weekend, former president Barack Obama issued a statement through his communications staff  in which he acknowledged authorizing the gathering of covert intelligence on the Trump presidential campaign and staff.  Obama stated that the purpose of the surveillance was to ascertain whether or not Melania Trump was an undercover operative for the Russian government.  

"Information was presented to me by our own intelligence sources which indicated that Mrs. Trump had taken training in Russian intelligence procedures shortly after dropping out of the University of Ljubljana in Yugoslavia.  She speaks fluent English, French, Italian, German, Serbo-Croatian, and her native Slovene and was therefore an ideal candidate for service in the KGB.  

"I felt that it was essential for our intel people to determine whether or not the future First Lady was in fact a spy," Obama said.  "In no way were we looking at Mr. Trump himself; he obviously was subjected to and passed a rigorous background investigation as soon as he won the Republican nomination. I therefore personally and most sincerely apologize to him for any inference that our intelligence surveillance was directed at him personally." 

April Fools. 

That's MY AMERICAN FUN DAY, jestingly submitted.  
 

ACOSTA, CNN DESERVE TO BE BOOTED

SPECIAL POST

If I were Donald Trump, I'd boot both CNN and reporter Jim Acosta from all White House news briefings for at least six months.  

During Trump's recent press conference, Trump took issue with CNN's "fake news" about his being involved with the Russians and about one wrong Michael Cohen fingered for being a go-between.  Acosta, who had already asked one question in the conference, cut loose like a bulldog in heat, interrupting Trump and repeatedly, rudely demanding the right to ask another question; Trump refused, telling Acosta he was being rude, but Acosta persisted.  Press Secretary Sean Spicer later told Acosta that if he ever pulled that stunt again, he'd be thrown out.  Spicer went on at least one television show complaining about the treatment.  

Although Spicer has since called for a "truce," neither he nor CNN has apologized for the egregious behavior.  

It's time they showed some semblance of decorum in respect to the president during press briefings.  If they're going to act like assholes, they need to be treated accordingly.  Freedom of the press does not mean freedom to be rude and arrogant.

HOLLYWOOD CAN GO TO HELL

SPECIAL POST

Most of my life, I've looked up to authority figures and entertainers as being role models for America.  But, what I've seen coming out of Hollywood these last few months has me burning hot mad.  The movie industry has been sewing the seeds of political hatred throughout the land; they acting like totalitarian tyrants in every way imaginable.  

Everyone has a right to free speech in this country, but that right crosses every line of propriety when it starts to incite violence and civil disobedience.  

The only message these  despicable "beings" will ever understand is when we quit buying their movies.

SCREW THE NFL

SPECIAL POST

I've not watched a single NFL game since Colin Kaepernick's protests over our National Anthem started.  More and more people are turning the tube off and regaining their lives, discovering that professional football has become just as corrupt and un-American as most of our politicians, media and bureaucrats.  Frankly, we're all just sick and tired of it.  

Kaepernick has every right to express himself, even if he makes an ass out of himself in doing so.  But... neither he or the NFL has any right whatsoever to force us to participate in the process.  

To hell with all of them.

CLINTON HAS MAGIC

SPECIAL POST

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?  The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it."  That was Hillary Clinton, trying to drum up interest during another half-empty rally.  

"My cough is from allergies.  I've got bad allergies.  Every time I hear the name Donald Trump, I cough."  Followed by, "Mrs. Clinton got overheated and had to leave."  Followed several hours later by, "Mrs. Clinton has pneumonia."  Followed by Hillary emerging in the sunshine with a huge smile on her face.    

And just like that... POOF!  Nobody's talking about her emails, her Benghazi lies, or her Clinton Foundation anymore.  

Now, if that ain't magic, what is?

FOX NEWS HAS BECOME DISGUSTING

SPECIAL POST

Just as it did in the first debate last August, Megyn Kelly and FOX NEWS had planned to sandbag Donald Trump on last night's debate, according to a report on WND.COM.  Fox had requested three viewers to ask questions during the debate.  One of them, a Nabela Noor, is a Muslim woman who has compared Trump to Adolf Hitler on her You Tube Channel.  She is also an ardent supporter of Bernie Sanders  

FOX NEWS has sunk to a new low in journalism.  They are obviously interjecting their political views into their reporting and are, therefore, no better than NBC, MSNBC, CNN or NPR.  

It's obvious here who is to blame for the Trump/FOX feud.  Trump got wind of the setup and elected not to appear.  FOX thought they could bully him into appearing, going so far as to try and contact his wife and daughter to assist them in this effort.  

I'm sorry to report that it's shoddy journalism at its worst.   

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

THE BRITCHES DON'T FIT

SPECIAL POST

Sometimes we get so successful at what we are doing that we start to take our success for granted.  When you reach that point, however, you have usually reached your pinnacle of success and it's inevitably downhill from there.  

Such is the case with FOX NEWS and with Megyn Kelly in particular.  

When Kelly started her show Tuesday night, you could see the anger in the nostrils of her nose and the glare of her eyes; the very word "Trump" had sent her into a state of mind that I have only seen in women possessed by manic depression and bipolar disease.  She was livid.  Throughout the night and into yesterday, FOX anchors united solidly against Trump.  Roger Ailes is said to have tried to reach Trump's wife and his daughter to persuade them to get The Donald to straighten up and fly right.  

Meanwhile, several polls show that 83% of FOX's audience are ticked off enough at the FOX response that they are not going to watch tonight's debate.  As of post time yesterday afternoon, several other candidates were considering being a "no show."  FOX's response has basically been, "We're FOX NEWS and we're not going to be told what to do by anyone."  

Kelly has made no secret of her obsession against Trump and Trump has every right to decline to participate in a debate hosted by Kelly who would undoubtedly turn her position into a platform from which to make Trump look like an idiot, just as she did in the first FOX debates last August.  

I stood behind FOX in its clash with DISH TV last year, going so far as to switch from DISH to DirectTV.  FOX was right in that instance but, they are dead wrong in this one.  No legitimate news source has the right to interject itself into a politics, but by its attitude, FOX has.  Evidently, neither Kelly nor the top dogs at FOX NEWS give a damn about how their audience feels about it.  

They've both gotten way too big for their britches.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

WHY THE DEBATES ARE A SHAM

SPECIAL POST

With one exception that we know of, all of the participants in yesterday's debate crammed for it.  They had associates ask them questions they thought they might be asked in the actual debate, they gave instant answers and then everyone sat around and discussed how that answer would sound on stage, whether or not it was "politically correct," and if there wasn't some better answer.  

Then, they got on stage last night and gave their canned answers to the questions.  

This leaves the audience to wonder what the candidates really think about the issues, how much knowledge they really have about the subject matters and whether or not they are the genuine article. We know from immediate past experience that smooth talkers don't necessarily make good leaders.  But, the format of the debate sets us up to like those who can spin the most, give polished answers and toss in a few timely and glib remarks of their own.  

I look at the whole thing as being nothing short of an old time carney show, but I'm sure the advertising revenues and the ratings for FOX were out of this world.

A&E STEPS FIRMLY INTO THE GUTTER

SPECIAL POST

A&E’s fyi channel has just announced a new show called “Seven Year Switch,” the premise of which is that couples get bored sexually and otherwise seven years into their marriage and therefore need a change.  Married couples will swap husbands and wives for a two-week period and do everything married couples do, including presumably having sex, since they will be “sleeping” together, according to the show’s announcement.  There was no revelation in the announcement as to whether or not the sex will be explicit.  

There is such a thing, If you can remember that far back), as "good taste" when it comes to entertainment.  In my opinion, the leaders of the country and the entertainment industry should be setting standards of good conduct for the rest of the nation to follow.  We have a serious problem in this country with the breakdown of the family unit, with countless tens of thousands of single-parent households.  The sanctity of marriage seems to be to about as broken as Obama's pledge of "transparency."  

If A&E is unable to achieve decent ratings and viewership through the presentation of good quality programming, if they have to resort to "shock therapy" in order to get our attention... well, maybe they should consider getting better writers, actors, directors and story lines.  Otherwise, the next thing you know, they'll be showing men and sheep.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM DISH

SPECIAL POST

Dear DISH Customer,
  Thank you for your email. Our contract with 21st Century Fox (Fox), the owner of Fox News and Fox Business, has expired and FOX has removed these channels from the DISH lineup.
  Fox is attempting to leverage Fox News and Fox Business for increases in the rates we pay for other channels not included in this contract. In order to minimize the impact of these negotiations for you, our customer, DISH offered to extend the terms of the current contract with Fox while we continue to negotiate. However, Fox refused.
  That said, we’ve had a productive relationship with Fox for many years and are confident that we can reach an agreement to restore these channels soon. We’ve reached agreements with many highly rated channel owners in the last year including with The Walt Disney Company, NBC Universal, and CBS Corporation.
  We greatly appreciate your patience and thank you for being a valued DISH customer. Please visit HYPERLINK "http://www.dishisonyourside.com/"www.DISHStandsForYou.com for updates on the situation.
  Sincerely, DISH

PURE, UNADULTERATED HORSE SHIT

ONAMA NEEDS EBOLA; MUSLIMS ARE GOAT F@&%%RS

SPECIAL POST

A third grade schoolteacher in Houston is on the hook for making those statements.  Angela Box made those remarks on a local television show and has since tendered her resignation. 

Let me say from the outset that she has every right in this country to say what she said, whether it was in good taste or not.  But the fact that she did say it and that countless others have been making insensitive and inflammatory remarks over the last few years points to a total decline in this country for mutual respect and decorum.  

In other countries, of course, they would just haul her out onto the street and stone her to death.  Maybe we should get back into stoning such idiots, but I somehow don't think we have enough rocks in this entire country to resolve the problem.  The chief instigator?  Barack Hussein Obama.

SEX AND POLITICS

SPECIAL POST

Just when I thought we'd heard it all, with Elliott Spitzer and Anthony Wiener both deciding to seek public office again, along comes another salacious tidbit of information that threatens to put all of my sensors into overload.  The events of the last few days have certainly provided great fodder for the water-cooler crowd, but this last drop of sexual causerie has to be the icing on the cake.  

There's a tape surfacing, a tape that everyone involved thought had been destroyed years ago.  The tape has Monica Lewinsky is a three or four minute snippet inviting Bill Clinton for a tryst.  “I could take my clothes off and start…well…I know you wouldn’t enjoy that? I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want,” Lewinsky reportedly said in the recording.  

Well, we all know that Elliott and Anthony are both as guilty as hell and that Bill never did have sex with that woman.  And we know that Anthony's wife Huma totally admires Bill's wife Hillary for standing behind him through all of that mess and that Bill and Hillary just want the Wieners to drop off the face of the earth.   

As I write this, it is Wednesday of course, and I'm being bombarded with a damned camel walking around the office proclaiming that it's "hump day."  Somehow, I think that's a fitting end to the post.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

CLINTONS TAKE ON THE WIENERS

SPECIAL POST

Inevitable comparisons between the Anthony Wiener sex scandals and the White House sex scandals under the Clinton regime have been making their rounds on the Internet and late-night comedy shows.  Evidently, enough is enough, and the Clintons have opened fire on the Wieners, demanding that he withdraw from the New York mayor's race and leave the Democrat Party. 

There is, as yet, no word on whether or not the Hatfields and McCoys are involved. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

GUNS: HOLLYWOOD IN DENIAL

SPECIAL POST

Hollywood and television are saying there is absolutely no connection between violence in their productions and violence in America.  In fact, they are so dismissive of the possibility that they are already announcing they have no plans to change what they put on the air or into the theaters.  Well, they're all left-wing liberals anyway, and we all know that they never make a mistake. 

Any grade school psychology student will tell you that if you subject a person to the same environment continuously over a period of time, he or she is going to change their personality.  That was one of the prime arguments in the Patty Hearst case, if you want to have a quick study on what I'm talking about.  She came to think that using guns, shooting people and robbing banks was acceptable behavior because that's what her captors kept pounding into her.  

Over the decades, the family unit has totally changed. Mom used to stay home and rear the kids, mom and pop stayed together, the family participated in wholesome activities together, our politicians and celebrities set good examples, on and on.  Today, marriages don't last, both parents work, and kids are left to fend for themselves.  What are their outlets?  Movies, television, video games and texting.  

These are the reasons that we need a comprehensive study of the issue of gun violence, and other types of violence in schools and elsewhere.  Our country has a higher percentage of its citizens in jail than any other country.  That has to sound an alarm bell:  Why is that so?  There's a reason for it and it's connected to the gun violence issue that we are dealing with.  

For Hollywood and television to flatly refuse to participate in an examination and investigation of the particulars and to bury their heads in the sand is sheer irresponsibility. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
