WH correspondents' dinner: Wolf shocks media with Sarah Sanders attack
[Guardian] The "comedian" Michelle Wolf stunned guests at a prestigious media dinner in Washington with a risque speech that eviscerated members of Donald Trump’s administration, some of whom were in the room.

#1  Evidently respect for women no longer applies at functions such as this. I doubt they'll ever see POTUS at another one.

#2  Inviting leftists into your home is kinda like inviting Muslims into your country, isn't it?

#3  The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner is held annually but for the second year running Trump was absent

Meanwhile, Trump went to a rally in Michigan--a much better use of time. Something positive. The WHCD sounds like a complete waste of time. Who wants to listen to angry, classless smutty people selling themselves as comedians.

#5  Just remember

The MSM, The Hollywood elites, The DC insiders don't hate Trump.

They hate YOU.

They told you who to vote for and you didn't.

They told you how to think and you ignored them.

They told you to hate Trump and you defied them.

They hate YOU because you broke the conditioning.
They hate YOU because you don't vote how they tell you.
They hate YOU because you publicly disagree with them.
When Colbert is bashing Trump his contempt is for YOU the people who voted for him.

Remember now and always the MSM, Hollywood, and the DC elites since the 60's have been calling YOU racists, sexist, theocrats, hatemongers etc.

They encouraged the BLM riots and cheered as people were attacked and neighborhoods burned.

They encourage and PAID thugs to attack Trump supporters at rallies.

Bernie celebrated shutting the Chicago Trump rally down.

They celebrated paid goons and Antifa shutting down free speech.

THEY ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE AGAINST YOU!

It isn't Trump they hate and fear it is YOU because you do not follow their instructions.

THEY

HATE

YOU

#6  These people have no idea at all of how small and ugly they seem to a lot of people. Like the street guy I used to see in Times Square trying to show pages ripped out of Hustler to young kids as they walked down the sidewalk, they are in their own world and nothing shakes their belief that it's the center of the universe.

#7  Why show up at an auto-da-fé arranged by Democratic operatives masquerading as *cough* impartial journalists? Juan Williams can blather on Sunday AM about "only Sarah Huckabee showed the reporters respect by attending" (!?!). Respect is a two way street.

#8  Respect is earned, Juan, you cowardly liberal boot licker

#9  No member of Trump's White House staff should attend this thing again.

#10  Inviting leftists into your home is kinda like inviting Muslims into your country, isn't it?

You invite them and they invite the Muslims, among others, and they tell you that it's good for you.

Why not? He is a creation of the false media. Next year nobody will answer his calls.

#13  And again, the cable companies are reporting big subscriber losses. Gee, I wonder why? They blame it all on Netflix and other streaming services. Meanwhile, I laugh every time I remind myself I cut the cable to get rid of this trash and the celeb trash haulers who traffic in it.

#14  #4 Somebody approved the routine. Lets talk with it.

The WHCD is sponsored by the White House Correspondents' Association; an association made up of left-leaning correspondents. The left lean has been going on for sometime now. At one time, a person could find newspapers that were conservative. Many of these have disappeared. Over the years there has been a "media consolidation" going on. In the early 1980s, 90% of the media was owned by 50 companies. In 2012, 90% of the media was owned by 6 companies. Consolidation of media. This consolidation made it much easier to control the media.

If you control the media, you can control the message. Most of the current MSM spews out propaganda rather than news or fact-based information. Couple all this with what Herb McCoy said, and it is not a surprise that we are where we are.

The faculties and administration of most universities are left-wing. It is no surprise that journalism schools are also left wing. They turn out budding left wing journalists.

#15  First Kathy Griffin, and now this piece of egesta Michelle Wolf...never heard of either of them until they did what they did. Comediennes, huh? Could have fooled me. Two sick biatches.

Democrat Fake News: Secret Service Shreds Another Allegation Against Ronny Jackson
[Townhall] Read Admiral Ronny Jackson, the personal physician to President Trump and former President Obama, may have withdrawn his nomination for Veterans Affairs secretary, but we’re now discovering that the allegations of impropriety, drunkenness, and pill pushing may have been both overblown and untrue. CNN’s Dana Bash and David Gregory warned against the allegation of Dr. Jackson being some "candyman," doling out medication because other White House doctors have done this. Second, the allegations that he was drunk and wrecked a government vehicle, and that he banged so heavily on a female colleague’s door while on a foreign visit, which prompted the Secret Service to intervene, also appears to be false. There is no evidence to corroborateboth claims according the Secret Service. Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), who appears to be peddling fake newsabout the rear admiral, lobbed these allegations against Jackson (via ABC News):

#1  Yea, but he's withdrawn - so, mission accomplished!

#2  Well, Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) is up for re-election in 2018. Chances of knocking off this incumbent?
Posted by: JohnQC || 04/29/2018 9:07 Comments || Top||

#3  Yea, but he's withdrawn - so, mission accomplished!

Indeed. I don't understand why there wasn't more push-back against the "allegations". This will only encourage the jackals to do it again.

#4  Tester has revealed that he is a scumbag. Anyone who votes for him now is complicit. You can't pretend you didn't know.

Judge puts Stormy Daniels' lawsuit against Trump lawyer on hold
Adult-film star Stormy Daniels' lawsuit against US President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, will be paused for 90 days, the federal judge in the case ordered on Friday, saying that Cohen's constitutional rights could be endangered if the lawsuit proceeds while he is under criminal investigation.

"The court finds that there is a large potential factual overlap between the civil and criminal proceedings that would heavily implicate Mr Cohen's Fifth Amendment rights," District Judge James Otero wrote in the order, referring to the Constitution's protection against self-incrimination.

Cohen has admitted paying $130,000 to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, to secure her silence about having sex with Trump, which he denies. Cohen said the payment was legal, and Daniels has sued to end her nondisclosure agreement.

Ex-Feinstein Staffer Hired Steele, Fusion GPS After Election to Keep ‘Exposing' Russian Meddling
[Breitbart] The House Intelligence Committee report released on Friday contained a new bombshell: after the 2016 election, wealthy donors paid a former Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) staffer $50 million to continue "exposing" Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Dan Jones, a former Democratic Senate Intelligence Committee staffer and former FBI official, then hired author Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS ‐ whose research formed the Trump dossier ‐ to help him do that, and to give whatever they found to "policymakers on Capitol Hill and the press."

The House report revealed for the first time that Jones told the FBI in late March 2017 that his group, the Penn Quarter Group, was being paid by seven to ten wealthy donors "located primarily in New York and California," who provided approximately $50 million.

The revelation showed the extent that Democrats have been willing to go behind-the-scenes to validate the dossier ‐ which ironically was also funded secretly by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Jones’ role was noted in a footnote in the report, which is the product of the committee’s investigation into Russian meddling and any collusion.

#1  Freebeacon - Democratic Donors Paid $50 million for New Anti-Trump Research

Excerpt:

"In late March 2017, Jones met with FBI regarding PQG, which he described as ‘exposing foreign influence in Western elections,'" the report said.

Jones was described as the chief author of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence study of the CIA's terrorist detention and interrogation program and a former employee of the Daschle Group.

Jones's name appears to be blacked out in the footnote in several places but was identified in one sentence.

The report said the FBI was told that PQG was being funded by 7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California who provided about $50 million for the research.

The donors were not identified in the report.

Emphasis added.

Once again, an IRS investigation should clearly reveal the financial details and backers of groups such as PQG. But according to former FBI Director Comey's recent Bret Baier interview, he had no idea who was funding the dossier research.

#2  But according to former FBI Director Comey's recent Bret Baier interview, he had no idea who was funding the dossier research.

Comey's response would indicate that he is pleading stupid.

I hope the DOJ is going to lay the wood to these treasonous conspirators.
