Panic Over Ratings at CNN Tops Friday Roundup

By: - July 12, 2019

Before you get ready for that last burger, you know…the burned one that no one else wants, or the last warm beer this weekend, take a couple minutes off to catch up on the news before you get drunk and go into a food coma.

We can help you do that. Because this is Friday Roundup:

  • As CNN gets beat in the latest ratings by the likes of TLC, Investigation Discovery, and the Hallmark Channel, frightened hysteria has taken hold at the Atlanta news station. While the pseudo-stars who are leading the popularity demise against rivals like Fox News and MSNBC stay safe in lucrative contracts, the rank and file are scared for their jobs and actively looking to jump ship. Couldn’t happen to a nicer agitprop media outlet for pre-teens.
  • Former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka almost punched out some twee punk from Playboy/CNN at a White House press summit after the leftist scribe told conservatives they were “eager for demonic possession.” Gorka took exception to the remark and strode across the Rose Garden ready to knock the guy into next week. Sadly, the Secret Service interrupted the upcoming melee, saving the hide of the likely quivering-with-fear-and-arousal left-wing lap dog.
  • The president covered his bruised tracks again on the census question with an Executive Order to get the data “by other means.” It recalls the answer to a reporter by a USMC general when told he was retreating, “Retreat hell! We’re just advancing the other way!”
  • Dem Rep. Bill Clay of MO carried some water for Nancy Pelosi as he attacked AOC and her fellow Four Frosh Furies over their recent delicious insinuation that Pelosi is racist. Clay said it was a “weak argument,” talked about “the level of ignorance on their part,” and said “they will have to learn to be effective legislators.” He also said, “they are jello-brained political debutantes who confuse estrogen overload with the cognitive process.” Okay, maybe I said that.
  • Former Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy thinks Robert Mueller’s upcoming testimony before Congress will be a big nothingburger. Maybe and maybe not. The lure of DC applause has swayed many a better man than Mueller. Though no matter what he says or doesn’t say, the press will play it as proof Trump regularly pistol whips blind kittens.
  • Jennifer Palmieri, former bigtime Hillary aide, says she would “ankle dive at the door” to prevent her onetime boss from running for president again. Speaking of kinds of diving, Hillary’s husband again denied flying more than four times with Jeffrey Epstein on the “Lolita Express,” though plane records show him on board the plane, and perhaps aircraft personnel, twenty-six times.
  • Bob Foster, a Mississippi State representative running for governor refuses to be alone in a room with a woman who is not his wife. Apparently the late Rev. Billy Graham lived by the same practice. Claims of sexism have followed from the usual suspects, the same people who decry the predatory tactics and assaults of the Hollywood pervs who just love to be in rooms with anybody but their wives.
  • And finally, Royal Navy frigate HMS Montrose turned its artillery toward the wee gunboats of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps while the small crafts were harassing a British tanker. When they saw the glorious and righteous potential cannonade of Her Majesty’s naval service, the waterborne insects ran away. In a just world they would have blown the Iranians out of the water. Then the ship’s officers would have had a fluted glass of Pol Roger to celebrate.

Have a good weekend.

    • MSNBC: 1 man's 'election denier' is another man's TV host
      MSNBC, the "news" outfit on which the Rev. Al Sharpton has a show, briefly hired former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, at $300,000 per year, to serve as an on-air pundit. Why did the rabidly anti-Trump, anti-Republican network make her the offer? MSNBC likely did so because 2024 is an election year; McDaniel was… […]
    • Dems' weakest case against Trump is first to go to trial
      Donald Trump was first indicted nearly a year ago, on April 4, 2023, when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced charges against the former president over a nondisclosure agreement Trump used to buy the silence of porn actress Stormy Daniels, with whom he had apparently had a brief sexual encounter. Bragg, an elected Democrat, won… […]
    • White House adds hair-sniffing contest to Easter Egg Roll!
      It's about time again for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. What the resurrection of Jesus has to do with eggs, chocolate candy, jelly beans or peeps is beyond me. Jesus did not arise from the dead and walk through the walls of the tomb holding an Easter basket and looking for eggs laid… […]
    • Say it, media: DEMOCRATS are prosecuting Trump
      On March 25, "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart uncorked a typical not-so-funny sermon about how Donald Trump overvaluing real estate properties was not a "victimless crime." Trump has been found liable for fraud despite no banker or financier ever claiming Trump victimized them. Then the New York Post reported talk-show host Tim Pool tweeted that… […]
    • Our subsidiarity vs. their intersectionality: How we win
      In their weekly podcast, Hollywood veteran Loy Edge and longtime WND columnist Jack Cashill skirt the everyday politics downstream and travel merrily upstream to the source of our extraordinary culture. The post Our subsidiarity vs. their intersectionality: How we win appeared first on WND.
    • The shocking beliefs of America's powerful 'elites'
      It is becoming increasingly clear that some of America's most serious problems can be traced back to our colleges and universities – or at least the ones educating the country's most powerful people. The Vietnam War era aside, it has traditionally been uncommon for events at universities to make national headlines. Absent something extraordinary, like… […]
    • Who is really behind Moscow terror attack?
      Was the Islamic State (ISIS) behind the Crocus City Hall terror attack in Moscow that killed 139 and wounded 182 on March 22, 2024, or not? The Islamic State did claim the attack, and the Western mainstream is agreed that the terror group was, indeed, behind it. On March 25, White House press secretary Karine… […]
    • Only Democrats get to lie on NBC News
      Ronna McDaniel, formerly chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, was recently hired and subsequently fired by NBC News when the "talent," unable to countenance even moderate dissent, revolted on air. The entire kerfuffle is unsurprising considering the state of modern "media." But one of the funniest moments of the McDaniel blowup came when host and… […]
    • Accept $40,000 loan offer from 'FIL'?
      Dear Dave, My wife and I owe about $40,000 on our mortgage. My father-in-law, who is a very nice and generous man, said he wants to pay off the house for us, then let us pay him back over time. We've borrowed much smaller amounts of money from him in the past, and we were… […]
