ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Another one bites the dust. Is it just me, or does is seem like every day another lefty liberal icon is leaving the national stage under a cloud of some degree of sexual harassment?  I must admit, I am not exactly heartbroken over the plight of any of these guys. They are not the victims.

Would you like to know what a sanctimonious schmuck looks like? This should do it. It is a photograph of sanctimonious schmuck Matt Lauer interviewing Bill O'Reilly after O'Reilly was fired by Fox News for some various cases of sexual harassment which were settled with big cash payouts to a handful of women. I am not defending O'Reilly. But what gave Lauer the right to grill Bill?

from variety.com

In September, Lauer asked the former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly if he’d ever sent lewd text messages to colleagues. “Think about those … women and what they did,” Lauer said. “They came forward and filed complaints against the biggest star at the network they worked at. Think about how intimidating that must have been. Doesn’t that tell you how strongly they felt about you?”

Would you like to see a photograph of a woman who has no idea how much danger she's in. This should do it. It is a photograph of Katie Holmes flanked by formerly respected, politically influential, Harvey Weinstein and the former King of Morning TV, Matt Lauer.

Would you like to see a photograph of two people sharing trade secrets? This should do it. "What, you mean you don't have a secret button under your desk to lock your door and keep your object of your affection trapped?"

.

Would you like to see a photograph that is just disturbing? This should do it. I don't care what Matt Lauer does in the own time (OK, just kidding, This was from Halloween 2013) I just felt like sharing it today.

THAT'S A SHAME

Esteemed journalist extraordinaire, Charlie Rose joins the list of upstanding, dignified, misunderstood powerful men who have recently admitted making some missteps. (Actually misstep was the term used by John Lasseter of Disney Pixar for his newly revealed indiscretions) Lefty Liberal Icon, Charlie Rose has been fired from PBS, CBS and Bloomberg. With the same customary enthusiasm uttered by Jerry Seinfeld on his popular TV show, I say the same thing: That's a shame.

NO NEWS

This past weekend, I have basically avoided the news. I am assuming that Donald Trump is still President of the United States. With all the noise coming from the media earlier this week, in the wake of the James Comey firing, perhaps I should double-check. The weather in Chicago was finally, summer like, and I took a 12 mile urban hike zigging and zagging mostly through and around the Lincoln Park Zoo.

CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

Well I bet Stephen Colbert learned his lesson on Tuesday night. Don't make a political joke about something before the Democrat lemmings have been properly brainwashed and told how to think and how to 'properly' react to a news bulletin. FBI Director Comey was a universally unpopular government servant. He was distrusted by conservatives and lefties alike. Colbert's show, which airs at 11:30PM Eastern Time is taped in the late afternoon. On Tuesday afternoon, during the taping in front of a live studio audience when Colbert announced the late-breaking news that Comey had been fired, less than 10 minutes ago, the pre-brainwashed Americans in the audience cheered, just like normal Americans. You know why? An incompetent public servant was properly fired. Those people in the audience didn't know that the storyline being crafted the Democratic leadership and media, that was that a Constitutional crisis of epic proportions was underway. One needed about 24 hours of wall-to-wall news coverage from the lefty loons on TV, radio and print media to create that story. Well-done moron media, another fake news story. How can a Constitutional crisis exist when the President acts within the powers granted by the Constitution? From the perspective of the lefty lunatics who still can't accept President Donald Trump, there is a constitutional crisis - it was the  election that they lost in November. The election was run in accordance with the United States Constitution. Hillary Clinton lost the election. Apparently that is the crisis.

Colbert's Audience Cheers Comey Firing, Changes Tune After Host's Correction

Published May 10, 2017

.

By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times - Wednesday, May 10, 2017

Comedian Stephen Colbert had an awkward moment Tuesday night when his audience cheered the firing of FBI Director James B. Comey.

President Trump stunned the political world this week by dismissing Mr. Comey and citing a Department of Justice recommendation that he was unable “to effectively lead the bureau.” The CBS “Late Show” audience — no doubt familiar with Mr. Comey’s handling the agency’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s secret email server — cheered, but then quickly changed their tune with a scolding by Mr Colbert.

“Oh. Wow. Huge, huge Donald Trump fans here tonight!” Mr. Colbert said. “That shows no gratitude at all. I mean, did Trump forget about the Hillary emails that Comey talked about? I mean, ‘Thanks for the presidency, Jimmy. Now don’t let the door hit you where the electoral college split ya.’”

The audience picked up on the comedian’s desired response and then booed at the first opportunity.

“I’m shocked. My heart is thumping. My pulse is racing,” Mr. Colbert said. “He fired the FBI director, who has said under oath that he’s investigating the Trump campaign’s ties with Russia. No rationale has been given yet as to why, but it came on the recommendation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.”

The sudden attitude shift was noticed by websites like the Blaze and users on social media platforms like Twitter.

WHAT COMEY'S AROUND GOES AGROUND

The news of the day is the news that President Donald Trump has fired FBI Director, James Comey. Many people find this a perfectly rational outcome which this erratic director has richly earned. Democrats, unreasonably and expectedly, find this some kind of coup d'état. Back in July when James Comes laid out a convincing case during a press conference explaining why Hillary Clinton needed to be indicted, he switched gears at the very end and said that he was recommending that no indictment take place. Democrats cheered. Republicans listened with utter disbelief. A week or so before the election, James Comes struck again. He announced that the Hillary Clinton investigation was being re-opened. Republicans cheered. Democrats listened with utter disbelief.  James Comes is gone. Good Riddance.

The O'Really Factor

America has been digesting the news all week that cable powerhouse, Bill O'Reilly, has been fired from FOX NEWS, after stories of huge out-of-court payouts were reported by The New York Times for sexual misconduct charges by various women over the past 15 years. Under pressure from lefty groups, virtually all advertisers dropped the program. There can be no commercial broadcast of a TV show without commercials. Once this happened the show was doomed. Just think back to all the millions of people who abandoned Bill Clinton when very serious charges of sexual misconduct were made against him. If you are having difficulty remembering that period, it is likely because that didn't happen. Liberals do not care what lefty progressives say or do as long as they vote the right way. Yes, I know, Anthony Weiner was the exception. Even he was too much for everybody - the second time.

Back to O'Reilly. The lefty progressive liberals are celebrating across America. I am not sure why. How does this change in anchors at FOX NEWS at 8:00PM Eastern Time change America? I did mostly enjoy watching O'Reilly over these past two decades. He surely was not a standard right wing conservative. He used to drive me nuts on occasion. He was happy to climb aboard the liberal progressive bandwagon when he blamed the 'evil' big oil companies for the rising prices at the gas pumps years ago. Apparently, the basics of Supply and Demand are not taught at Harvard where O'Reilly went to school. It is interesting to note that during the presidency of Barack Obama, gas prices fell quite a bit. Was this because of policies enacted by Obama? No, of course not. It was in spite of policies enacted by Barack Obama. I believe that the increasing levels of fracking and huge discoveries of natural gas led to energy price collapses around the world. ExxonMobil does not control the price of gasoline, in the same way that APPLE controls the price of an iPhone.  Liberal Bill O'Reilly did not understand that. Nevertheless, Bill O'Reilly did mostly appear to be conservative in his views and he was the face of FOX NEWS for 20 years. Since the lefty liberals hated FOX NEWS, they naturally hated Bill O'Reilly. Now O'Reilly is gone. Will FOX NEWS likewise disappear? You think so?  O'Really?

SATURDAY: PROGRESS REPORT

Recently my progress has been in the wrong direction, but this week I ratcheted back down a bit more than a pound to 247.2. I have a long way to go.
