The Hill: No More Democrat Correspondents Dinners For Them

While many continue to use the standard talking points and applaud Michelle Wolf’s vile performance at the White House Correspondents Dinner,  The Hill reports that they are pulling out of future Correspondents Dinners saying the events cast journalism in a "poor light" and that "major changes" are needed.

"We hope the dinner can get back to talking about the importance of the Fourth Estate without the kind of ugly sideshow that completely overshadowed the event this year......." 

"Along those lines, we will happily donate in the future to the WHCA scholarship program and hope this program can produce future journalists to fight for freedom of the press while remaining non-partisan. In the meantime, without major reforms, The Hill no longer wishes to participate in future dinners." 

The Hill should be applauded. Criticism of Wolf’s monologue is not criticism of political comedy or even offensive comedy. But what did the organizers really expect inviting a writer for numerous vehement anti- Trump comedians with weaponized television cameras.  And it’s not surprising that the event has gone so far left after the Obama love-fest years, while most of the national press still pretends to be objective and have no leftward bias.

Celebrating a free press with an act like Wolf’s is like if the NRA celebrated the Second Amendment with a comedian mocking the victims of school shootings. All the WHCD has become is another event serving up the toxic soup of politics, celebrity, and biased media. When those who would claim to be fair reporters of the news are entertained by angry left wing screeds masquerading as humor it shows how out of touch they are. You'd think they would at least pretend to not be Democrat operatives for this one night where they get so much attention.  

Dear Media: Stop Turning Every Twitter Flame War Into National News

A few days ago a girl in Utah posted some pictures of her prom night on Twitter. She was wearing a red Cheongsam, a beautiful traditional Chinese dress that she had found at a vintage store in downtown Salt Lake City. Naturally, someone dimwit with no social life on Twitter (a male at that) just had to say something about it:

“My culture is NOT your …. prom dress,” a man named Jeremy Lam tweeted days later, sharing the photos she posted. “I’m proud of my culture, including the extreme barriers marginalized people within that culture have had to overcome those obstacles,” Lam also wrote. “For it to simply be subject to American consumerism and cater to a white audience, is parallel to colonial ideology.”

This represents one of the big problems in America today. Not the dress, I’m not going to weigh in on that other then to say I also have a similar one myself. The problem is that national media outlets like the Washington Post and others routinely turns trivial local stories into national news based on nothing more than a tweet that attracts the usual mob and then the usual counter-mob.

The true story here is that one guy steeped in anti-colonialist theology got mad and pounded out a tweet. That’s it. The rest is inevitable because, you know, it’s The Tweeter. There’s always a mindless mob with no ability to think for themselves on social media willing to play follow-the-leader. When unimportant crap like this becomes fodder for national news, it makes you believe that everything is part a of gigantic culture war playing out at all times. It’s not. At least, no more than it’s ever been. But the sewer of social media and it's want-to-be stars makes it look a lot bigger than it is, and the national media can't wait to blow it up and further drive the wedge.  Knock it off.

As for Jeremy Lam and his minority band of twitter cultural appropriation nazis, F**k OFF. I'll be wearing my blue&gold cheongsam out to dinner this weekend.....

No Time For Pulitzers. The Great Missing French Oak Caper

If Only the Media Were As Zealous About Finding Hillary's 
33,00 Missing Emails

Americans and French citizens can now breathe a sigh of relief. Soon after major network investigation units swung into action, the riveting mystery of the missing French oak tree planted by President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron on the White House lawn has been solved.

Something of a mystery had taken root at the White House when a media Lieutenant Columbo type noticed the oak tree sapling went missing. Rumors swirled after a picture posted by Reuters photographer Yuri Gripas appeared to show a bare spot on the South Lawn of the White House where the tree had previously stood. The media jumped into action and were hot on the case. 

The sapling was a gift from the French president during last week's ballyhooed state visit. But less than a week later pictures by the media sleuth showed only an off-color patch of turf where the sapling had been last seen.

Not surprisingly, the White House did not immediately respond to the media inquires and requests for comment. (but laughing was said to be heard coming from the direction of the West Wing). 

After all the brouhaha, it turns out the tree planting was only ceremonial, as the plant needed to be quarantined before it could be permanently planted in accordance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection guidelines. Late in the day an official from France's presidential office said the jig was up and finally told Reuters the tree, imported from France's Belleau Wood forest, needed to be quarantined in order to prevent the spread of any potential parasites or diseases and it would return in the near future.  Even a tree from France needs to be thoroughly vetted and quarantined before entering the US. So Why Not Immigrants??

A Good Monday Morning

Why We Can't Have Nice Things.....

James Carville famously once said of Paula Jones,"If you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find." Well,  we know now what you get if you drag an invitation to speak at the White House Correspondents Dinner through the alley behind the Comedy Central....an unattractive, unhinged and shamelessly vulgar leftist with a voice that will peel paint named Michelle Wolf.  #Keep It Classy Dems

It’s a Slow Burn Cultural Revolution

The Famous Statue of The Father of American Music - Stephen Collins Foster

The Marxist Cultural Revolution is alive and well in America, and has claimed another victim. The city of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania's iconic monument to native son Stephen Collins Foster, the Antebellum songwriter widely acknowledged as the Father of American Music has been deem offensive and the 117 year old statue removed from public view.

At morning' first light, the 1,000-pound 10-foot-high bronze statue that stood at the entrance to Oakland's Schenley Park for 74 years, moved from its original location near the entrance to Highland Park to prevent vandalism, was remove on orders of the city's cultural commissar public art and civic design manager, Yesica Guerra. Never-mind the leading citizens of late 19th century Pittsburgh selected the statue's design and commissioned the noted Italian émigré, sculptor Guiseppe Moretti to create it, and was dedicated with great fanfare in 1900.

Foster, who was born in Pittsburgh on July 4, 1826, wrote more than 200 songs, including such time-honored classics as "Oh Susanna," "Camptown Races" and "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair." The statue had stirred controversy for years because it depicts Foster standing with a black man playing a banjo at his feet. The hyper-sensitive I'm offended crowd have described it as racist and demeaning to blacks(?) Others have argued that it depicts Foster gaining inspiration from a black musician. While some of Foster's songs contain graphic, derogatory depictions of slaves, he is credited with being among the first musicians to dignify and humanize blacks through his songs. He died at age 37 on Jan. 13, 1864 in New York City, with 38 cents in his pockets.

The city plans to replace the statue with a memorial to black women and has scheduled public meetings to gather suggestions before deciding on a theme. Perhaps a large black granite depiction of Michelle Obama's Ass would satisfy the shit-weasels.

H/T   Shamelessly Stolen from Gerard VanderLeun

And The Moonbat Fever Swamp Erupted With a Mighty Din.

He dared to violate the rules of the anti-Trump hive mind by supportive comments of the legitimately elected president. And now he is being brutally scourged by his peers as the whips are loudly cracking to discourage more blacks willing to exercise critical thinking. Not only did the husband of bubble-butt bimbo go rogue, but so did another who tweeted that “black people don’t have to be Democrats” and will surely join him on the gallows. The shadows on the wall are the Democrats and their promises to blacks that are all lip service and only used to keep this crucial demographic in line for the next election. Not only did he commit the unforgivable sin of speaking well of Trump, but he also pointed out that the Teflon-coated bullshit salesman Barack Obama was a phony. Bitch slapping Obama made their heads explode......
