So, Disney decided to cast their next live action remake of the Little Mermaid as a black woman,(which is interesting since it comes from a Danish folk story/legend): www.inquirer.com/entertainment/movies/disney-little-mermaid-halle-bailey-circe-madeline-miller-20190710.html?outputType=ampAnd to keep it going, the next 007 will also be a “woman of color” : nypost.com/2019/07/14/lashana-lynch-cast-as-007-in-new-james-bond-movie-report/British actress Lashana Lynch, 31, will be introduced as the new 007 in what is being described as a ‘popcorn-dropping moment’ in the franchise’s 25th movie that is currently being filmed, according to the Mail on Sunday. But it is not a complete do-over — with her just taking James Bond’s secret agent number after he retires from MI6, the report states. Bond himself will still be played by Daniel Craig — and will still adhere to his old-fashioned macho characteristics, an insider told the UK paper. ‘Bond, of course, is sexually attracted to the new female 007 and tries his usual seduction tricks, but is baffled when they don’t work on a brilliant, young black woman who basically rolls her eyes at him and has no interest in jumping into his bed,” a source told the Mail. The insider called it a “pivotal scene” when Bond is called back from retirement and introduced to Lynch as the new 007. ...... Bond is actually based on a British spy back in WWII: www.businessinsider.com/the-inspiration-for-james-bond-2012-9Yeo-Thomas, who was known by the code name White Rabbit, was parachuted into occupied France three times – after one mission reporting back directly to Winston Churchill – before being captured and tortured by the Gestapo. He was taken to Buchenwald concentration camp but managed to escape and reach the Allied lines. ...... Changing fictional characters’ race, etc is one thing, but now they are going full throttle into “reimagining “ historical characters now. Can’t wait to see who they target next.

The Fake News Liberal Media claimed that AG Bill Barr’s father worked with Jeffrey Epstein as a school teacher and therefore AG Barr should recuse himself from the Epstein case. Of course, it’s just another liberal lie. Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC was one of many in the fake news media who shared the following (at the 3:40 mark): William Barr’s father hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach high school boys and high school girls even though Jeffrey Epstein is not even a college graduate. That is now and was then, unthinkable in a school like Dalton. A year later William Barr’s father abruptly resigned from the Dalton School after the Board of Trustees decided to investigate the way that William Barr’s father was running that school. Not long after that Jeffrey Epstein left the school. This all sounds shocking – but of course it’s not true. O’Donnell got his dates wrong! The fake news New York Times reported in February 1974 that Bill Barr’s father had resigned from the elite school – www.nytimes.com/1974/02/20/archives/barr-quits-dalton-school-post-charging-trustees-interference.htmlThe far left Daily Beast reported that Epstein did work at the school but he didn’t work there until after the summer of 1974 – www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstein-dodged-questions-about-sex-with-his-dalton-prep-school-students?ref=scroll

Decided to check out Maddow dude for a bit. He spent 4-5 minutes lying about the Mueller report. Seems there is video of people cattying bags/boxes out of the Ecuadorian embassy supposedly carrying 100's of hard drives. Seems he knows that Assange and Putin were working with Trump and against Hillary. Who knew? Then came an interview with Heir Omar for which I feel I need Granny's lye soap and a wire brush. Good thing I wasn't playing the "blatantly racist" drinking game.

Twitter Senior Engineering Manager: www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/twitter-exec-jail-impeachment-for-trump-calls-social-media-chief-racist-dTwitter Senior Engineering Manager Ian Brown’s tweets have assailed Trump, White House social media chief Dan Scavino Jr., top aide Stephen Miller, GOP lawmakers including Sen. Rand Paul, and supporters like Turning Point USA chief Charlie Kirk. In a recent tweet he suggested that restaurant workers were tampering with Eric Trump’s food, after the president’s son said he was spit on at a Chicago eatery. “If @erictrump is upset about getting spit on by a restaurant employee, I have some bad news about the food and drinks he’s being served,” Brown tweeted June 26. .......

www.nationalreview.com/2019/07/democratic-party-fighting-each-other-nancy-pelosi-alexandria-ocasio-cortez/amp/Since fighting Trump hasn’t gotten them very far, they’re now fighting one another. Among Democrats these days, it’s a Hobbesian war of all against all. No, that’s not quite right. It’s more of a Seinfeldian war of imagined slights and peevish insults, a slap-fight of grievance and innuendo, a “you-started-it-no-you-started it” toddlers’ rodeo. It’s Mad Max beyond Blunderdome. To recap, just in the last few days, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that Nancy Pelosi was being a racist and, when called on it, said she wasn’t saying that. AOC’s brain, Saikat Chakrabarti, compared the gay Kansas congresswoman Sharice Davids, also a Democrat, to segregationist Southern Democrats of yore because her votes supposedly “are showing her to enable a racist system.” The official Twitter account of the House Democrats threw the racism charge right back in Chakrabarti’s face, saying he was “explicitly singling out a Native American woman of color.” Accusations of racism are a kind of brainless addiction on the Left, like slot machines. Whenever they feel unsatisfied with anything, they break their minds into quarters, put them in the slots, yank the arm down, and repeat. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, heretofore the most unassuming member of the “squad” of young House firebrands that also includes AOC, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, made an undergraduate-level authenticity argument against Democratic-party minorities, such as members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who fail to vote with the extreme Left: We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice. We don’t need any more Muslim faces that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. It was like one Oberlin minority accusing another of being a “coconut” or an “Oreo.” A Democratic leadership source made a class-based argument against the Squad in the course of defending the Congressional Black Caucus: “Justice Democrats in general are trust-fund kids who are funding this with their parents’ money,” the source said. Just to add a little lighter fluid to the bonfire, Chakrabarti casually admitted that the Green New Deal — the one that generated zero Democratic support on the floor of the Senate — used climate-change hysteria as a pretext for undoing capitalism: “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” he said in a Washington Post profile. “Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.” Because what a single congresswoman from New York City can certainly do is change the entire economy. As if worried that none of this provided enough visual pizzazz to be an actual RNC campaign ad, protesters acting out the Squad mindset at an ICE building in Aurora, Colo., took down a U.S. flag and replaced it with a Mexican one. Which doesn’t even make sense; if you actually thought that Mexico was better than the U.S., wouldn’t you want to be deported there? If you thought the U.S. was much like Mexico, would you have come here in the first place? Nancy Pelosi’s dismissive remarks to the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd started all this. About the Squad she sounded a note of condescension, like a school matron who is aware — but doesn’t much care — that the girls are talking smack about her while vaping behind the bleachers after soccer practice. “All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world. But they didn’t have any following. They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got.” Ouch! Pelosi, at 79, is not even young enough to know what middle-aged people have learned: Handle Millennials in the workplace the way you’d handle spent radioactive fuel rods, lest they spatter you with toxic hurt feelings. As Dowd pointed out the other day, there’s a desperate struggle up on top of Wokeback Mountain, and people are getting a little punchy in the thin air. Matthew Continetti astutely notes that what is going on with the House Democrats is a mirror image of what happened with the Tea Party–inspired House Freedom Caucus as they grew impatient with John Boehner. Each group took its frustrations out on the head of its own party instead of acknowledging that you don’t get to run the country with one house of one branch of the federal government. But there is a big difference this time. This time it’s racial. There is no coming back from an accusation of racism. Short of abject apologies from AOC and Co., which seem as unlikely to be issued as presidential apologies, Pelosi and other legacy Dems are never going to forget that they’ve been tagged with the wickedest concept in the Left’s attack manual. Every Democrat mentioned above is either a minority or a woman or both. To the average reasonable voter, any charge that members of the Congressional Black Caucus are insufficiently black, or the implication that Pelosi opposes AOC because of skin tone rather than tactics, is deeply stupid. These fatuous accusations of racism have the effect of further diluting the power of a word that might well be the most overused one in America, or perhaps second only to “literally.” All of this is plenty entertaining, if you enjoy a comedy bloodbath. The Democratic party is sitting on a cache of gold, which is President Trump’s low poll numbers. Instead of working together to make the most of it, though, they’re reenacting the circular-shootout ending of a Quentin Tarantino film: Meet the Reservoir Dems.

Joe Lockhart, press secretary to President Bill Clinton during his second term impeachment, went on an epic 21 tweet meltdown over President Donald Trump Wednesday afternoon. Lockahart not only attacked Trump and his administration, he also viciously attacked Trump supporters attending Wednesday night’s reelection campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina, calling then an “angry crowd of resentful, uneducated people screaming for blood from the people of color who are stealing everything from them.”
4. Given that, expect a whole bunch more tonight in North Carolina. He'll have an angry crowd of resentful, uneducated people screaming for blood from the people of color who are stealing everything from them. It ought to be a real fun time. Remember, CNN sucks and the media

The San Francisco Chronicle reports Wednesday that “she” and “he” will be replaced by “they.” The words “manpower” and “manhole” will become “workforce” and “maintenance hole.” The City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed the measure to replace more than two dozen commonly used terms. There will be no more “craftsmen” in city code, only “craftspeople” or “artisans.” Berkeley has a long history of leading on politically and socially liberal issues. The sponsor of the ordinance is councilman Rigel Robinson, a 23-year-old recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. He says his time in college expanded his awareness of gender issues.

Kudos leftists. In your zeal to create a socialists paradise, you brought back the Black Death. www.breitbart.com/health/2019/07/19/dr-drew-pinsky-bubonic-plague-outbreak-imminent-in-los-angeles/Dr. Drew Pinsky said Friday that Los Angeles faces an imminent outbreak of bubonic plague because of the growth of the homeless population and the failure of state and local authorities to deal with rodent problems. Dr. Drew made his comments during a Periscope broadcast by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, who has become a popular political pundit with a daily live audience of thousands of people. Dr. Drew told Adams that he had predicted the recent typhus outbreak in Los Angeles, which was carried by rats, transferred by fleas to pets, and from pets to humans. Bubonic plague, Dr. Drew said, like typhus, is endemic to the region, and can spread to humans from rodents in a similar fashion. Though commonly recognized as the medieval disease responsible for the Black Death in the fourteenth century, which killed one-third of the population of Europe, the last outbreak of bubonic plague in the U.S. was nearly a century ago, from 1924 to 1925 — also in Los Angeles. Only a “heroic effort” by doctors stopped it, Dr. Drew recalled, warning that conditions were perfect for another outbreak of the plague in the near future. Los Angeles is one of the only cities in the country, Dr. Drew said, that has no rodent control plan. “And if you look at the pictures of Los Angeles, you will see that the homeless encampments are surrounded by dumps. People defecate there, they throw their trash there, and the rats just proliferate there.” Moreover, he said, homeless people were defecating directly into city drains, which flowed to the Pacific Ocean. “We have the sewage of 60,000 people hitting the ocean every day,” he said. Though there were adequate financial resources, Dr. Drew said, homelessness would not be solved by building more housing, because the fundamental problems were mental illness and drug addictions, which created an “attachment to this lifestyle” on the streets. The city had been successful at absorbing hundreds of thousands of “undocumented immigrants,” Dr. Drew observed, which showed that the focus on housing was a “hoax.” But changes in mental health policy — partly as a result of public reactions to films like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which was harshly critical of mental health institutions — had made it much more difficult to commit people to institutional care. Dr. also said that prison reform initiatives, such as Proposition 47 of 2014– which reduced sentences, but without improvements to rehabilitation — had also played a role by letting more criminals out on the street, some of whom joined the homeless population. And efforts at relocating the homeless — either to treatment or to prison — ran into lawsuits from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), whom Dr. Drew described as “do-gooders” without any idea about how to solve the underlying problem. “How many people must die before you change your philosophy?” Dr. Drew asked, rhetorically. Some, Dr. Drew said, said that the situation in Los Angeles was approaching a national emergency that would require the intervention of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Red Cross, and the National Guard. He said that he himself had not reached that conclusion yet, but that he was “ready to pull that trigger if we start to see the diseases that I think we are going to.” Recently, President Donald Trump threatened to intervene in California’s growing homelessness crisis, prompting L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti and Governor Gavin Newsom to push back — without offering any solutions. “I have a government that is ignoring the basic needs of human civilization,” Dr. Drew said, exasperated. A recent count of the homeless population revealed that it had risen 12% over the last year, to nearly 60,000 people. Mayor Eric Garcetti, who promised to end homelessness when he first ran for office in 2013, has failed to deal with the problem despite local tax hikes to provide additional revenues. He now faces a recall effort over his failure.

On Sunday, Joy Reid was arguing that President Donald Trump is promoting white nationalism.
“I think that this is something that his supporters — and we have to start calling his supporters racists as well. That MAGA hat — that MAGA symbol has come to represent something. it is the new Nazi symbol — it is the new hood, the Klan hood.”
Cross asserted that it is “racist” to refer to illegal immigrants as “illegal immigrants” because the term is “overwhelmingly offensive.” Reid agreed with the sentiment, calling the term outdated and saying that “we don’t even use the term in the media anymore.”
She isn’t just offended by the phrase “illegal immigrants,” Cross also claimed that just the word “Trump” is now a symbol of hate.
“There have been mosques defaced with the word ‘Trump.’ Today, Trump is becoming a modern-day swastika. People have to be aware, it’s no longer a name — it’s shorthand for a symbol of hate. Someone says, ‘I like Trump,’ they’re telling you they’re in for white supremacy — I’m in for bigotry — I’m in for sexism.’ That’s what Trump means now, and I think we have to be aware of it and call it out bluntly.”
Ummm, haven't the left & their sycophants in the media been calling President Trump & his supporters racists, etc since 2015?

President Trump ticked off the leftists again: The media are livid and screaming about how he is attacking a brown/black man,(racist again). amp.dailycaller.com/2019/07/27/media-trump-cummings-baltimore-racistCummings did respond: Interesting tweet from President Trump’s war room: www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-sanders-baltimore-20151207-story.htmlHoping to reach African-American voters nationally in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday toured the West Baltimore neighborhood where Freddie Gray was arrested — and likened the poverty he observed to that of the Third World. The independent senator, who describes himself as a democratic socialist, walked the streets of Sandtown-Winchester for about 20 minutes, joined by community leaders and a swarm of cameras that mostly blocked his view of boarded rowhomes and crumbling marble steps. A handful of residents joined the spectacle, and occasionally broke out in chants of Gray’s name. The scene provided dramatic visuals of the economic inequality Sanders has made the center of his campaign, offering a new backdrop from which to argue for a higher minimum wage, tuition-free public college and tougher federal regulations of the nation’s banking sector. “Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation,” Sanders told reporters later at the Freddie Gray Empowerment Center in Bolton Hill. “You would think that you were in a Third World country.” So, is Sanders racist also,(or is this merely reserved for Trump, Republicans, non liberals)? Four years later: And in steps a media matters hack: Valid counterpoint:
