Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Goodbye, Sheppie, we hardly knew ye. – Here is the only truly appropriate reaction to the news that the slimy Shep Smith has left Fox News: [gif] In all seriousness, does anyone really care that our TV screens will no longer be graced by this shrill, overwrought hack? In recent years, Smith’s only role at Fox News was to come on air and cause half the cable channel’s regular viewers to tune into OANN. The channel attempted to elevate his role a few years ago by making him the “anchor” for all...

James O’Keefe III, the ‘guerrilla journalist’ and founder of Project Veritas, spoke today at the Family Research Council conference in Washington DC. As he ended his speech James O’Keefe fired off a warning shot to CNN. Project Veritas has undercover video from INSIDE CNN. And Project Veritas has undercover video of CNN ‘talent’ Brian Stelter! ames told the crowd Project Veritas will release the video this week.

The poll released last week by Fox News that claimed most Americans favor the impeachment of President Trump underrepresented Republicans and Independents, The Post has found. The poll said 51% of voters were in favor of impeachment and removal from office, while 40% did not want him impeached. Princeton New Jersey pollster Braun Research, which conducted the survey, noted 48% of its respondents were Democrats. But the actual breakdown of party affiliation is 31% Democrat, 29% Republican, and 38% Independent, according to Gallup. A poll weighted for party affiliation would have concluded that 44.9% favored impeachment and 44.4% oppose it,...

Shepard Smith was the worst thing on Fox News not because he was an anti-Trump leftist, but because he lied and lied and lied, claiming he was not. There are plenty of anti-Trump leftists on Fox News, and that’s a good thing. It is also to the eternal credit of Fox that, unlike its competition on the far left — CNN and MSNBC — Fox actually airs a legitimate diversity of opinions on the issues of the day, most especially President Trump. That was not Shepard Smith. No, rather than come out of the partisan closet, rather than put on...

FULL TITLE: JUST IN: Fox News’ Trump Impeachment Poll By Former Regional Director For Hillary’s 2016 Campaign Was FAKE NEWS…New NPR/PBS Poll Proves It Polls are funny things, they’re very unpredictable, and the political leanings of the person or group performing the poll can have a lot to do with the outcome. Two days ago, The Gateway Pundit reported about the surprising recent Fox News poll that showed 51% of Americans favor impeaching President Trump over the Democrat’s latest manufactured Ukrainian phone call scandal. Most Americans who support Trump found the Fox News poll to be unbelievable. As it turns...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, remember when Bug-eyed Adam Schiff told us that this brave, heroic, fake whistleblower was going to testify live and in person before his committee, like two weeks ago now? – Yeah, that didn’t happen, did it? And it didn’t happen last week, either, and it is not going to end up not happening this week, as the fake whistleblower – who is really just another Democrat leaker of classified information – sees his story falling apart. Oh, and it probably isn’t going to happen in the future, either, at least not...

FOX News posted a stunning poll on Thursday that shows that 51% of Americans want President Trump impeached on the media’s fraudulent Ukrainian accusations.

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Um, hello, John? This is the IC, you know, the Intelligence Community? Yeah, that IC. Well, um, we’re just calling to let you know that it looks like the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine was illegally spying on you. Yeah, Ukraine. Um, ok, that’s all for now. – No kidding, the fired U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, appears to have been illegally spying on the activities of Solomon and other U.S. journalists related to their reporting on Ukraine and the activities of Quid Pro Joe Biden and his ne’er-do-well...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) These impeachment polls are very mysterious and confusing. Until you look at the details, that is. – The increasingly-trending-left Fox News came out with a “bombshell” new poll on impeachment Wednesday which Bret Baier solemnly told us shows that 51% of those polled favor both impeachment and removal from office. Baier further said that is an increase of 9% over an earlier poll taken before any of this nonsense about Ukraine broke. Which basically means that every leftist nitwit in the country has always wanted him impeached and removed, which should surprise...

In case you missed it, take 10 minutes out of your day to watch the clip below. – Laura Ingraham had Rudy Giuliani and Joe diGenova on together for a 9 minute segment Tuesday night, and both men were very blunt in their assessments of the sordid behavior of Nancy Pelosi and her House Circus Clown caucus, the status of the fake impeachment process, and of the Barr/Durham investigation, among several other topics. Here’s the clip: For those of you who still like to read stuff, here are some key quotes from Giuliani and diGenova: Giuliani: “I would love to...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Those loud noises you heard last night were bombshells dropping all over the nation’s capitol. – Every day the last four years has been a busy news day, but it’s hard to remember one as busy as Tuesday. Let’s review some of the action: Get ready for Hillary III – She’s running, and no one should doubt it. Expect her formal announcement shortly after the Oct. 15 debate in Ohio. Here she is, talking about doing it: Benny ✔ @bennyjohnson Hillary Clinton declares she could beat @realDonaldTrump “again” during interview in a...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The last-gasp pre-debate stunts have officially begun. Expect more to come. – Democrat presidential candidate Julian Castro, whose failing campaign is drawing its final breaths, tried to pull an attention-grabbing stunt at the Texas/Mexico border city of Brownsville on Monday. There, he personally escorted 13 illegal aliens to the U.S. Border Patrol station and demanded they be released into the U.S. Castro claimed – most likely falsely – that the 13 “migrants” were LGBTQ folks, and thus, under Democrat identity politics rationale, somehow entitled to special treatment under U.S. law. The Border...

We the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty to write about. That’s probably why it’s so easy to find lists enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and “lies.” But as self-appointed arbiters of truth, we’ve largely excused our own unprecedented string of fact-challenged reporting. The truth is, formerly well-respected, top news organizations are making repeat, unforced errors in numbers that were unheard of just a couple of years ago. Our repeat mistakes involve declaring that Trump’s claims are “lies” when they are matters of opinion,...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Another day, another fake controversy. – The bipartisan Warmonger lobby is out in full force this morning after false media reports claiming President Donald Trump had decided to “pull all American forces out of Northern Syria” made their way into the public domain. That decision – which is not the decision that has in fact been made – has been further reported to mean that the President has “given the green light” to Turkish thug Recep Tayyip Erdogan to invade and seize that region from the Kurds, who currently occupy...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) It’s like clockwork, folks, it really is. – Here is the headline of the September 30 Campaign Update: “Winter is Coming, and More Fake Whistleblowers are Coming With it.” Fast forward six days to Sunday, and guess what? A second fake whistleblower from the Intelligence Community has “come forward,” i.e., coordinated with Lawfare Alliance attorneys, the staff of the House Intelligence Committee and its Chairman, Bug-eyed Adam Schiff, to file another false complaint against the President of the United States. Just as we saw in last October’s lynching of Brett Kavanaugh, whenever...

Zaid tells ABC News' Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos that the second person -- also described as an intelligence official -- has first-hand knowledge of some of the allegations outlined in the original complaint and has been interviewed by the head of the intelligence community's internal watchdog office, Michael Atkinson.

Labor appointee was rehired after hit job was discredited Bloomberg Law finally apologized and retracted a September article that falsely accused Department of Labor appointee Leif Olson of anti-Semitism. Editor-in-Chief Cesca Antonelli told staffers she made the decision after "we spent the last few weeks reviewing our coverage and our editorial processes." The story "did not meet our editorial standards for fairness and accuracy." She did not elaborate on why the review took so long given immediate pushback from reporters and fellow attorneys. "We regret that lapse and have retracted the story," Antonelli said on Friday. "We are also strengthening...

The intellectual class across the West—encompassing its universities, media, and arts—is striving to dismantle the values that paced its ascendancy. Europe, the source of Western civilization, now faces a campaign, in academia and elite media, to replace its cultural and religious traditions with what one author describes as a “multicultural and post-racial republic” supportive of separate identities. “The European ‘we’ does not exist,” writes French philosopher Pierre Manent, assessing the damage. “European culture is in hiding, disappearing, without a soul.” The increasingly “woke” values of the educated upper classes reflect, as Alvin Toffler predicted almost half a century ago, the...

A hacking operation apparently linked to the Iranian government unsuccessfully targeted President Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, a source confirmed to CNBC on Friday. Reuters first reported the incident, citing two sources familiar with the operation. Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told CNBC: “We have no indication that any of our campaign infrastructure was targeted.” Earlier Friday, Microsoft announced that it had seen “significant cyberactivity” from a hacking group apparently sourced to Iran and linked to that country’s government. Microsoft did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request to confirm that the hacking group targeted the Trump campaign.

Today’s Campaign Update, Part III (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The Campaign Update hates to say it told you so, but, well, it told you so. – To the surprise of literally no one who has paid attention to his mendacious machinations to position himself to seek the 2020 GOP presidential nomination in the event of the ultimate removal of President Trump in this latest Deep State coup effort, Mitt Romney on Friday issued a series of tweets which for all intents and purposes put him in direct league with San Fran Nan and the Munchkin caucus in the House...
