CNN Host Goes on Racist Tweet-Storm Against Clarence Thomas

by Leave a Comment

CNN host and (allegedly) former drug-addict Rex Chapman, consistently one of the worst people to inhabit the bowels of the internet, launched into a racist tweet-storm against Justice Clarence Thomas on Thursday evening.

Chapman, who had a show on the now-defunct CNN+ but is still listed as a “CNN host” on the liberal network’s website, attacked Thomas with a series of insinuations that he’s not really black, going so far as to use pictures of Thomas’ wife as some kind of slam.

Later, when one user responded by using a Dave Chappelle reference to say that Thomas is a “black white supremacist,” Chapman, responded with an on-target emoji, indicating he agreed with the critique.

Apparently, you must do drugs and go to NBA games to actually be black, according to Chapman, who is white. Who knew? Here’s a succinct rebuttal to that notion.

The idea that Thomas is somehow not authentically black because he has differing ideological viewpoints regarding politics is ludicrous. As noted, we are talking about a man who grew up during segregation in the South, suffered under extreme poverty, and rose to be perhaps the most brilliant Supreme Court justice of all time. Chapman would have you believe that’s not a story of black success, though. Ask yourself why? Is it because black people are only acceptable when they do what Chapman wants? That sure sounds like racism to me.

I want to broaden things out here, though, because ultimately, this isn’t about Chapman and his clearly racist views. We should all expect him to be an absolute, bigoted clown with no ability to control himself. After all, this is a guy who blew $50 million dollars while getting arrested for shoplifting and being hooked on painkillers. He’s an idiot and a sideshow.

What this is really about is a media complex that continues to elevate objectively terrible people simply because they have the right politics and are willing to say outrageous things to advance “the message.” We all remember Michael Avenatti’s rise to fame because he told CNN what they wanted to hear about Donald Trump. Not once did the liberal network stop to vet him and think about whether they were putting a crook on air. He shouted that the orange man is bad and that was enough.

But that shouldn’t be enough. News organizations should be held to some semblance of a standard, and the original hiring of Chapman was a joke long before he decided to flaunt his racism in full view. And to be sure, this wasn’t his first brush with such. It’s not just CNN, either. The NCAA had Chapman anchoring its March Madness coverages this year. The NCAA went so far as to put out a press release bragging about it.

In short, Chapman is a horrible person, but those that enable him are no better.

Trump Responds to Possible Trump-DeSantis 2024 Ticket as Only He Can

by Leave a Comment

The question is being asked on a regular basis, now. What about a Trump-DeSantis “dream team” ticket in 2024? Is it a possibility? Would Donald Trump make the offer, knowing how popular Ron DeSantis is?

Perhaps more importantly, would DeSantis accept it?

Various reports suggest that the popular Florida governor doesn’t want Trump’s 2022 re-endorsement in the gubernatorial election, nor does he want Trump to campaign for him. But while Trump has begun to dance around the 2024 question, DeSantis appears to want zero to do with answering it.

Also, during an interview with Newsmax TV on Thursday, Trump said he’s not ruling out DeSantis as a possible running mate. That is if Donald actually [winking emoji] runs. Trump told Newsmax he has a good relationship with DeSantis — right before going full-metal Trumpian, and attempting to take credit for DeSantis’s success and popularity in the Sunshine State, as transcribed by The Epoch Times:

Well, I get along with him. I was very responsible for his success because I endorsed him and he went up like a rocket ship.

Trump was referring to his 2018 endorsement of DeSantis in his gubernatorial run against Democrat Andrew Gillum. Speaking of Gillum, as my colleague Nick Arama reported on June 22, he was charged in a 21-count federal indictment with conspiracy, wire fraud, and making false statements to FBI agents.

Anyway, here’s Trump on DeSantis again, via Newsmax:

I was very responsible for him getting elected, as you know, but I have a very good relationship with him.

Either way, DeSantis remains a popular choice to dethrone Trump in 2024; if Trump is to be dethroned.

As I reported earlier in June, Trump played nice with the possibility of a DeSantis challenge for the 2024 nomination during an interview with The New Yorker. Trump told the magazine he wasn’t really worried about DeSantis in 2024, one way or the other. Why? As transcribed by The New Yorker:

I don’t know if Ron is running, and I don’t ask him. It’s his prerogative. I think I would win.

DeSantis’s “prerogative” aside, as I noted in the article, behind-the-scenes machinations would suggest that both camps are already plotting — or at the minimum, considering — strategies against the other.

Translation: popcorn. We’re going to need a lot of popcorn.

Longtime Republican campaign strategist Brooke Rollins told The Epoch Times on June 14, several weeks before a Ready for Ron PAC was created in support of a DeSantis run, that “The information I’ve gotten the last several weeks is Trump is definitely running,” which should come as zero surprise to zero people.

“We’re not working at all against Trump,” Rollins said, adding:

At that point in time, I didn’t know if he [Trump] was running or not. What I’ve said since has made it clear is that he [DeSantis] won’t run against Trump.

One wonders if Rollins — as well as Team Trump — is still so sure about that.

As RedState reported in late June, a New Hampshire poll conducted June 16-20 by the University of New Hampshire showed DeSantis leading Trump for the nomination, and beating Joe Biden in a general election matchup. Trump was shown losing by seven points to Biden in the same poll.

The bottom line:

Regardless of how 2024 plays out, as I suggested, above, we’re going to need a hell of a lot of popcorn. Trump would not go down easily — let alone “accept” other (“disloyal”) Republicans entering the race, and would likely resort to the same types of ad hominem attacks he hurled at “Little Marco,” “Lying Ted,” “Low-Energy Jeb,” and nearly every other candidate in the Republican primary race.

And if DeSantis does decide to challenge Trump, he will be formidable as hell, and he will give it all he has to give — just as we have seen him do time and time again against Florida Democrats, the Biden Administration, public education, and of course, his steely-eyed shellacking of Disney. And, like Trump, the Florida governor refuses to take crap from anyone who gets in his way. I’ll tell you this:

2024 is going to make 2016 and 2020 look like Sunday school picnics.

Hopefully, sans the Jan. 6 silliness, of course.

Kyrsten Sinema Promptly Scuttles Joe Biden's Big Plan to 'Codify' Roe

by Leave a Comment

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the nuking of the non-existent “constitutional right” to abortion the Supreme Court made up 50 years ago, Democrats have been presented with a political brick wall. The normal response would be to hit the brakes, but instead, they are stomping on the gas.

Delusion is a funny thing, and it’s most prominent in those who can’t fathom that they’ve overplayed their hand. One can simply peruse Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s social media to be provided with example after example of that. Democrats had previously convinced themselves that they were going to enjoy a permanent majority, and even though that dream has long since perished, they just can’t quite let go.

Enter Joe Biden, who is currently stumbling around Europe. The president has now officially called for the abolition of the Senate filibuster.

To be clear, there is no such thing as an “exception” to the filibuster. If one side can remove it to accomplish their pet policy goal, the other side can and will do the same thing. Harry Reid taught us that lesson when he removed the judicial filibuster, paving the way for the current conservative Supreme Court. Did Democrats learn their lesson, though? Of course not.

Here’s the other thing, though. Biden does not have the votes, and shortly after his proclamation, Kyrsten Sinema made that known (again).

Putting aside the fact that this CNN hack is using the euphemism “reproductive rights,” as if women don’t have the right to refrain from reproducing if they so choose, Sinema’s answer is not surprising at all. She’s only given the same one, what? A few thousand times at this point? Our intrepid press just keeps asking, though, as if they can beat her down to change her long-held position. It’s a bit jarring to witness supposed journalists rush to flex their skills as Democrat propaganda agents, but I digress, there’s nothing new about that.

What’s so ironic about this entire situation is that Sinema is saving Democrats from themselves. She is smart enough to realize and accept that Republicans will soon be back in charge. Even if the GOP wets the bed in 2022 (a possibility given some of the bad candidates selected), the Senate map essentially guarantees a majority in 2024. Only an idiot would blow up the filibuster on the backend of Democrats holding power, handing the new precedent to their political enemies. Yet, that’s exactly what Biden, Ocasio-Cortez, and the rest are stumping for.

Meanwhile, left-wingers viciously attack Sinema when she’s actually doing them a favor. The inability to see the forest through the trees is astonishing, if not completely expected. Again, when a party enjoys total power, even for a short period of time as the Democrats have since the beginning of 2021, delusion inevitably follows. Republicans suffered from it prior to the 2018 election, believing the warning signs didn’t apply to them and that some single event (the Kavanaugh hearings) could save them. That’s just not how it works, though. So let the Democrats flail, I suppose. It’s going to make the coming red wave all the more enjoyable.

Greg Gutfeld Needs Just One Tweet to Slam the Media, Remind Other Late-Night Talk Show Hosts Who's Boss

by Leave a Comment

Not that late-night talk show hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Trevor Noah aren’t already bitter enough, but how much must it gall these mostly bitter left-wingers that Fox News late-night host Greg Gutfeld continues to beat the snot out of them in the ratings?

Our festivities begin with a Wednesday op-ed in the Los Angeles Times titled ‘Trump tantrum’: Late-night hosts recap Cassidy Hutchinson’s ‘wild’ Jan. 6 testimony, during which she alleged that Trump attacked a Secret Service agent from the back seat of the presidential limousine when the agent refused to drive him to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot.

As RedState reported, Hutchinson’s hearsay testimony has all but been destroyed. As my colleague Nick Arama also reported, CNN political commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously worked in Donald Trump’s White House, coordinated with the Jan. 6 Committee on Hutchinson’s testimony. In a word, the former aide to Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, turned into a giant cluster.

Anyway, the LA Times writer’s entire op-ed consisted only of “jokes” about Trump’s alleged “attack” on the Secret Service agent by the aforementioned left-wing comedians, other than Jimmy Kimmel, for whom Chelsea Handler has filled in, this week.

The author noted that the aforementioned hosts all spent much of their monologues “recapping” Hutchinson’s remarks on former President Trump’s behavior — yet made no mention of Gutfeld or his top-rated show. “Why would they do that?” Gutfeld asked.

In case you’re skeptical of a media that happily works from the same playbook…in covering the unison response of the late night chorus, they leave out one show that’s beating all of them. Why would they do that?

Gutfeld’s question was rhetorical, of course.

The multiple answers to Gutfeld’s question are obvious to anyone with an even close to objective mind who pays even a modicum of attention to so-called “mainstream” media outlets. A quick look at the below RedState headlines tells the tale of the tape.

‘This Is Not About Freedom’: Greg Gutfeld Demolishes the Biden Administration’s Spin on the Energy Crisis

Gutfeld Decimates ‘Virtue-Signaling’ CNN and Brian Stelter’s Silly COVID Selfie Stunt

Gutfeld Stomps All Over Critical Race Theory, Warns of Threat to Schools and Military

Toss in the aforementioned late-night talk show lapdogs, and there you have it: the entire sock-puppet clown car; the official media outlet and “entertainment” center of the Democrat Party.

So what about those late-night ratings?

As my colleague, Becca Lower first reported in November 2021, “Gutfeld!” surged to the top of the leader board, dominating the “big three” — “The Tonight Show,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” with NBC’s caustic, ever-bitter “Late Night” host, Seth Meyer, and Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” trailing even further behind.

The bottom-line:

I’ve watched Gutfeld since his first Fox News show, “Red Eye,” which he hosted from 2007 until 2015. The program aired Tuesday through Friday at 3:00 a.m., ET. Following a 2007 family loss, I couldn’t sleep for quite a while. To suggest that Gutfeld kept me sane would be an overstatement, but still, his bottom-line sanity and lack of fear in calling out anyone who deserved to be called out combined for a breath of fresh air to me when I most needed it. It still does.

While I don’t watch “Gutfeld!” as regularly as I once did — nor any television, including news outlets — when I do flip on the TV, “Gutfeld!” is usually the reason.

AOC Accuses Supreme Court of a 'Coup' After 2020 Election-Related Case Is Taken Up

by Leave a Comment

The hits just keep on coming for the Democrat Party as this year’s Supreme Court term comes to a close. Obviously, the decisions have taken center stage, with Roe v. Wade being overturned, the Second Amendment getting affirmed, and the EPA being prevented from turning itself into its own fourth branch of government.

But after the decisions finished dropping on Thursday morning, the next shoe to drop was what cases would be taken up for the next term. One case already has the left losing its ever-loving mind: Moore vs. Harper.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took the news especially hard, declaring the Supreme Court was enacting a “coup” and seeking to end presidential elections. As I wrote about Elizabeth Warren’s doom-spelling reaction to the EPA decision, the strategy of proclaiming everything the end of the world is incredibly stupid because then nothing is the end of the world. AOC does even begin to understand that, and she’s having a banner week of rhetorical freakouts.

With all that said, you might be asking yourself why Democrats are so up in arms about the Supreme Court taking up this case. The answer is simple: They see it as a blow to their ability to direct elections in their favor.

Specifically, during the 2020 election, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided to override the state’s constitution and its legislature in order to allow universal mail-in balloting. At the time, it was clearly an improper and abusive decision, but it helped Joe Biden greatly against Donald Trump, so Democrats loved it. If the Supreme Court ends up curtailing the power of the courts to override elected legislatures in making voting laws, it would end the left’s best tool in ensuring they can stack the deck, and we just can’t have that, can we?

AOC and her cohorts want the courts to have the power to dictate voting policies without the input of voters, full stop. If they lose that, they lose the ability to help dictate election outcomes as they likely did in Pennsylvania. The same goes for the drawing of congressional districts. In the past census cycle, court after court attempted to interfere in the district-drawing of legislatures, mostly in Republican states at the behest of leftwing activist groups. In the end, enough things went the GOP’s way to limit the damage, but it could have been much worse.

To summarize, while Democrats scream about “democracy,” all the Supreme Court has done is once again hand power back to the people. And frankly, after 50 years of the high court delivering blow after blow to conservatives, it’s pathetic to see the left behave the way they are. Jumping in a lake comes to mind.
