Vivek buys the WOKE media company BUZZFEED to UN-WOKE it!
[X]


… He's now their 2nd largest outside shareholder. Maybe he'll buy the whole thing and turn it into a non-woke organization.

This is how we win the culture war.

#2  I would check the water out. It's got something in it.

#3  market cap on Buzzfeed is under $100M

about 5% of what it was worth back in 2022 or so

it has had negative net income since it started
somewhere near negative $90M in FY 2023

Interestingly, it seems to me that a conservative Buzzfeed would be a threat to DJT media, which has a market cap of about $7B and lost about the same amount of money in 2023 as Buzzfeed

Michelle Obama Suggests Those Who Don't Support Harris are Sexist, Racist
[LI] Michelle Obama is another one who just cannot accept the fact that VP Kamala Harris sucks.
Homonym
I really think the Obamas think she’s great. Therefore, racism and sexism have to be the reason why she’s not demolishing former President Donald Trump:

I got to ask myself, "Well, why on earth is this race even close?" I lay awake at night wondering what in the world is going on. And it’s clear to me that the question isn’t whether Kamala is ready for this moment because by every measure, she has demonstrated that she’s ready.
The standard default.

Inside the Democrat implosion as Kamala's team is gripped by fear and 'vibes' drain away: 'Nobody should be even slightly optimistic right now'
[MAIL] Democrats are spending another week wondering if Kamala Harris has let her momentum in the 2024 race completely slip away.

A murderer's row of bad PR for the Harris campaign this week featured continued tanking in the polls, a widely panned CNN town hall, Donald Trump beating her to the Joe Rogan bump and even fellow Democrats slamming her rhetoric.

Harris now trails Trump in the polling average in the crucial swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to Real Clear Politics.

Fear is now gripping Harris' campaign and the 'vibes' are draining away as prominent Democratic lawmakers, as well as the liberal media, have been forced to publicly acknowledge the campaign is faltering at the final hurdle.

One Democratic strategist admitted to The Hill: 'Yes, it's close, but are things trending our way? No. And no one wants to openly admit that. Could we still win? Maybe. Should anyone be even slightly optimistic right now? No.'

While some noted that Harris is taking risks like partnering with Liz Cheney and holding rallies in red Texas in the waning weeks of the campaign, another strategist put it bluntly: 'If this is a vibe election, the current vibes ain't great.'

#3  While some noted that Harris is taking risks like partnering with Liz Cheney and holding rallies

Yes, that's certainly a risk.

#4  Warren Buffett has not endorsed Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, and made it clear this week he will not publicly back either presidential candidate.

"Mr. Buffett does not currently and will not prospectively endorse investment products or endorse and support political candidates," reads a statement posted on Berkshire Hathaway's website this week in response to fraudulent claims on social media about the investor.

The Berkshire CEO's reticence may seem surprising as he's previously thrown his weight behind Democratic presidential candidates. He organized fundraisers for Barack Obama in 2011 and stumped for Hillary Clinton in 2016, even walking on stage at a rally to hammer Donald Trump over his bankrupt businesses, reluctance to publish his tax returns, and rude treatment of others.

#5  Her momentum did not 'slip away'. It ran away screaming.

#9  If Obama butt sniffers like Axelrod and Jones are publicly sticking lances into her like Picadors at a bullfight it just tells me that he wants to sink her to set Moochle up for 2028.

At which time she'll be old news, but Obama hope springs eternal.

#10  set Moochle up for 2028.

At which time she'll be old news


It allows the former president to continue as the Wise Elder in the anti-Trump smoky back rooms for the next four years. I firmly believe Mrs. Obama will never seriously run for president.

#11  Yeah, beside, 2028 belong to Governor Hairgel.

Michigan Muslims and Arabs endorse Donald J. Trump for president
[X]

Is that the Moslem mayor of Hamtramck, Amer Ghalib? No, but he is up there:
Trump receives endorsements from Muslim, Arab leaders at Michigan rally

[MSN-CenterSquare] Some Arab- and Muslin-American leaders endorsed Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
during a campaign rally Saturday in Novi, Michigan.

The endorsements are notable in the key swing state that is home to more than 200,000 Moslem-American voters. According to RealClearPolitics' polling average, Trump holds the narrowest of leads over Harris in Michigan, 47.9% to 47.7%.

"We're winning overwhelming support from the Moslem and Arab voters right here in Michigan," Trump told the crowd.

That support from Moslem leaders includes Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib and Dearborn Heights Mayor Bill Bazzi, as well as Imam Belal Alzuhairi.

Saturday's rally occurred less than 24 hours after Israel struck Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
with strategically targeted missiles the night before. The ongoing turmoil in the Middle East was among the reasons the Moslem and Arab leaders cited in their endorsement of the former president.

"We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine," Alzuhairi said. "The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen."

Alzuhairi added, "I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason," referring to the two unsuccessful liquidation attempts against Trump's life.

Two recent polls indicate that many Arab- and Moslem-Americans, traditionally voting blocs for Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
. are drifting away from Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris
What can be, unburdened by what has been
as the Biden-Harris administration struggles to balance U.S. support for Israel with appeasing a significant anti-Israel faction within the Democratic Party.

In one poll of 500 Arab American registered voters conducted by The Arab American Institute, Trump and Harris were nearly split, 42-41%, a drop in support from the level Democrats received in 2020, as The Center Square previously reported.

In the other conducted in late August, The Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
(CAIR) released a poll showing American Moslem voters supporting Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and Harris equally, at 29% each, with Trump at 12%. In Michigan, the poll found that 40% of Moslem voters support Stein, 18% support Trump, and just 12% support Harris.
