She didn’t attend the right college. Off the air with her.

(This is what Ingraham and others harangued Harriett Myers about.)

Laura’s a fighter. Clearly it’s her bosses calling the shots.

Doubtful she’ll be back.

Lost my support when she apologized for speaking the truth.

Some people can be mean on the air and get away with it. Don Imus made a career in radio doing that before he retired a few days ago.

The difference was that Imus absolutely loved it when his guests abused the heck out of HIM. LOL.

With today’s grade inflation, who really knows what the hell a 4.2 really infers. Back in the 60s a 3.0 was nothing to sneeze at a d a 4.0 was rare. Now...?

Shame on Laura for failing to stand up to this little Nazi pig, Adolf Hogg.

Apparently there were at least three colleges that weren’t very impressed with the kid — regardless of what his grades were.

Don’t be surprised if she pulls an O’Reilly and NEVER RETURNS from her so called vacation.

Some people make for great guests but mediocre (at best) hosts. I’d count Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin among them. They’re fine in ten-minute increments when they’re discussing an issue from their own perspective, but they simply don’t have the broad appeal or entertainment value to fill hours of air time.

You are so correct.

I love Steyn, but not only as a voice. He is a tremendous interviewer. I have watched his interviews on utube and they are great. He is well versed in the subject, and does one thing many interviewers do not do well. He knows when to keep quiet, or insert a phrase or two to keep his subject talking. And when he responds, it is to draw the interviewee out. If you haven’t had a chance, watch him,

Here are some links

He would be great in a weekly show that included names-of-the-day-in-the-news being interviewed for a half hour to 45 before or after Steyn does his own monolog on current events.

She dumped Roy Moore in a heartbeat because he mishandled his response.

Those two statements don't really go together, do they?

The puppet masters (Soros, Obama, Jarrett et al) have been filled with power and confidence now. They can speak through an obnoxious sh*t disturber and nobody dare question, plus it doesn’t rest on them.

I am SICK SICK SICK of people making a statement then turning around and crawling on the ground licking boots. For the love of all that is good and sacred....STAND YOUR FLIPPIN’ GROUND!

My problem with Laura is she is always telling everyone else how to win and fight like she has it all figured out and when the going gets tough she cannot even stand up for her comment about a 4.1 (B-) GPA.

For background info department...
This little critter is no stranger to controversy... From Wikipedia..

"A video was published mischaracterizing a 2017 Los Angeles CBS television report in which Hogg (while on vacation[43]) is interviewed about an altercation between a lifeguard in Redondo Beach, California, and a surfer whose board blocked access to a trash can.[44][45] It became the number-1 trending YouTube video after its upload, but was later removed by YouTube because it violated YouTube's policy on harassment and bullying"

The little pr!ck got a taste of media vapors and liked it !!

Mark Levin

He tends to be “short”, even with some good callers. He resorts to yelling and “lawyersplaining”.

17 years old.
I worked with a former Marine who went into the Marines at 17 in his senior year and spent Prom night coming ashore at Iwo Jima.

Oh - and he was carrying a gun.

This is what our culture is producing and exalting these days.

We are in serious trouble.

I agree with you....And this is high school. A teacher can give you any grade they want.

Like I said....let's see the classes he was/is taking. Any tech classes in there?

I hope David realizes that he can't put videos out there of students without their permission.

The Left has found the “children” to be untouchables. The Left knows now that “conservatives” will wet their shorts and run away rather than criticize “the children.”

“Conservatives” continue to fund Planned Parenthood, spend like drunken ‘Rats, refuse to support Trump’s agenda, meekly submit to being called “murderers” and “racists,” continue to thwart any meaningful investigation into the Clinton/Obama/Deep State scandals, and are stampeded into voting for new “gun control” laws.

Fox News won’t fight back and support Laura Ingraham, and Ingraham herself disappears in the middle of the fight.

See a pattern here? A pox on all of them.
