Reliable source leaks names of next to go on CNN hit list

Last Thursday was a tragic day in the history of our media. The sun turned to blood and there was gnashing of teeth and wailing among men of strength. People were out on the streets and in airports all across our great nation, feeling scared and luckless to the point that many refused to board the planes they were supposed to take because they felt their collective luck had run out. 

Just kidding. Brian Stelter was fired from the Compromised News Network (CNN) and the birds were singing, planes flew safely, and all was well in the world. But now that Spud Stelter is gone, what's next?

Well, reliable source Jon Nicosia believes that Stelter isn't going to be the last one out the door, according to Brodigan. [H/T Louder With Crowder]

Nicosia has a decent resume having worked for Mediaite, Independent Journal Review and the Washington Examiner and knows a thing or three and he has a source who leaked about Stelter when he left CNN's new president Chris Licht.

Nicosia's source could obviously be wrong, but he or she has earned the right to be heard, if not believed. And according to the reliable source, we might be bidding farewell to such leftists as John Berman, Jake Tapper, Don da' Lemon, John King, Alisyn Camerota and my personal favorite to get the boot, Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta.

Licht was brought aboard the CNN garbage barge to try to balance it slightly to the middle and decrease its vacuous suck. The network has been so crappy that it had to pay airports to air it in their waiting areas.

But will the dream come true? Will the network deep six the current crew and start fresh with people who are there to report the news with a lot less spin and a lot more factual information?

Hutchinson's chats show she's as credible as AOC's Green New Deal math

Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony at the Jan. 6 "investigation" panel that paints the Trump White House as complicit and guilty as hell over the so-called insurrection, is in direct conflict of the chats she had prior to her appearance at the kangaroo court.

Hutchinson was the person who told the since-debunked story that former President Trump tried to seize control of the wheel of the presidential SUV that was being driven by a Secret Service agent. She wasn't in the car, but that's what she was told. In other words, that's what is known as hearsay and in a real court of law would be inadmissible as evidence. But in a kangaroo court, the defendant doesn't get a chance to defend himself and all the "witnesses" are stacked up against him.

The Federalist said that it has since obtained private communications from Ms. Hutchinson that span from December 2020 to May of this year, however, she hasn't responded to the printing of her communications thus far.

The gist of the report was that “Hutchinson commiserated with other targets of the probe about how little information she had about any wrongdoing that day, and lamented how corrupt the politicized committee was. Far from being upset with Trump, Hutchinson repeatedly spoke in favor of him and his presidency.”

Hutchinson was subpoenaed in November of 2021 by House Speaker Nancy "Hands-a-Flyin'" Pelosi’s hand-picked House Select Committee investigating the Capitol's mostly peaceful protest.

The Federalist report said Hutchinson referred to the panel as a “phony committee” six days after being subpoenaed and told a former White House staff she would have little to tell the panel. She said, around the same time, that her testimony would have nothing to offer and she even made a vulgar reference to Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson (MS) the panel's chair, as per the report.

The report stated Hutchinson praised a November 2021 tweet from a former colleague mocking someone’s belief that President Joe Biden won the presidential election.

“When we win again, we’re making her comms director Or press sec,” she wrote.

Private messages showed her consistent alignment with Trump supporters. “I would rather shoot myself dead into the Potomac than see marine one flying around this city without 45 again,” she wrote about three months after the mostly peaceful protest, according to the report.

In November of last year, she was using the so-called incursion  as a laugh line, according to the report, in a message referencing a friend’s apartment in a building called Park Chelsea. “Let’s have an insurrection at parc Chelsea,” she wrote. “How about … jan 6, 2023?”

Messages showed her joking over which pro-Trump image she might use as a background when giving video testimony to the panel, the report said.

Hutchinson referred to RINOs Rep. Liz Cheney (WY) and Adam "Sniff, Sniff" Kinzinger (IL) as a "crop of losers," whose egos are too [f**king] big" and consider themselves "The REPUBLICAN MARTYRS,” according to the report.

“I think Liz being the ‘future of the GOP’ is a massive stretch,” she wrote, according to the Federalist report. “I think she does have the power to cement the anti-Trump, RINO movement and really capitalize off it on a national scale. She’ll never ever turn the tides in her favor. Ever.”

“Even if Trump were to fall off the face of the Earth, her neocon policies are not where the base’s ideological politics currently are nor will head,” she wrote.

The Federalist report stated that there were messages from May of this year in response to media reports that suggested aides such as Hutchinson would be the key to getting dirt on Trump.

“I wanted to be like … the members LITERALLY told you they’re taking advantage of us … So shut the [f**k] up and stop tweeting about me … leave me alone … there is no story here,” Hutchinson wrote, the report said.

The report said Hutchinson said Jim Acosta [who loves Jim Acosta] of CNN told her: Thank you for your bravery and courage. We and the American people look forward to learning more from your testimony.”

Hutchinson then told the person she messaged that she had “about twenty snarky responses typed to respond back but just let it go … Like stop WARPING everything you [f**king] [jackass] … and also I couldn’t give less of a [f**k] what cnn thinks of me. Truly,” according to the report.

The Jan. 6 committee has proven to be an embarrassing clusterfrack [sic] and the American people are beginning to see this.

Stelter and Acosta might get booted from CNN's new reign

Communist News Network's (CNN) hosts Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter may be on the chopping block as the network plans to attempt a nonpartisan approach to news, a change that will likely cause whiplash as they turn from the left, under the leadership of alleged sex offender Jeff Zucker, to the middle. 

Supposedly, the new regime has high hopes of restoring some semblance of credibility with a less Trump-centrist, hard-left approach, as their new chairman and CEO Chris Licht takes the helm. He told staffers that he would "double down on what's working well and quickly eliminate what's not." This led both Acosta and Stelter to worry about their futures, but at least neither of them have been outed as sexual predators like Zucker, Cuomo, Lemon (allegedly), or as video masturbators like Jeffrey Toobin.

Axios reported on Tuesday that "three sources familiar with the matter" regarding future plans said that Licht is evaluating if staffers can adjust to the less polemic approach, and anyone who doesn’t fall in line "could be ousted" so they don’t continue to hurt CNN’s reputation of fake news.

"To conservative critics, some on-air personalities, like Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter, have become the face of the network's liberal shift," Axios’ Sara Fischer wrote, using Stelter as an example of the network's hosts who could be out on their butts. She had previously been a guest on his Sunday "Reliable Sources" political comedy show.

Stelter, who is an allegedly straight cis gender man, did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News because they are conservative and do not go along with his far-left values except where he and capitalism are concerned.

Acosta's serious face

A CNN leaker pointed out that Fischer merely noted that Stelter and Acosta are targeted by non-leftist media, and they aren’t identified as being targeted for termination at this time.

Acosta’s inclusion was unsurprising, as the staunchly liberal host has long been considered one of the more partisan, obnoxious and narcissistic personalities at the failing network.

Acosta became famous for shouting questions at Trump, strong-arming a young woman when she was instructed to take his microphone from him when he refused to allow Trump to answer a question, and for being a total bickering ass on the telly. 

Acosta is the embodiment of fake news and he really isn't very bright.

And while Licht " doesn't want to necessarily shy away from personality programming, especially in prime time," Fischer wrote, he wants to see the numbers rise and doesn't want leftist views to dominate in ways that will cause intelligent viewers to change the channel to the "Cooking Show."

Licht said he would "reimagine" [a pretentious word that means 'imagine'] CNN's morning show where co-host Brianna Keilar would be obnoxious with conservatives and would speak over them. Whether or not she remains is still a mystery, but if she does, then there you go again.

CNN's Brian Stelter gets ripped a new one re: his "failing show"

Compromised News Network's Brian Stelter, who is not gay, has a lot to be worried over. His new boss, John Malone thinks it's time for the light weight fat man to go. 

Malone, the biggest shareholder of Discovery, blasted Stelter in an informal meeting with the company's top brass, according to a report. Discovery is the parent company of CNN and Stelter's future at the failing fake news network depends on what Malone decides to do with him.

Jon Nicosia, former editor of the Washington Examiner, broke the story about Malone's thoughts about Stelter, who is not gay and allegedly has a thyroid problem which accounts for his hearty frame.

Malone dubbed Stelter as a “cancer,” criticizing his close relationship with disgraced former CNN president Jeff Zucker and accusing his show of sucking and being a failure, Nicosia reported.

SOURCE: At a recent (informal) Discovery Board meeting (largest shareholder) John Malone referred to CNN’s Brian Stelter as a “cancer” and a “Zucker Henchman” that has “a failing show” – (more to come)…

— Jon Nicosia (@NewsPolitics) April 5, 2022

The ratings of Stelter’s “Reliable [Anonymous] Sources”  have been circling the bowl now that the Trump era has ended. Now all Stelter does is criticize conservative media and fails to say anything about our PINO and house plant in chief and his failing administration. Stelter didn't even mention the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.

Malone has made it public that he wants to make CNN an actual news outlet instead of an arm of the DNC. Even people at airports who identify as passengers don't bother looking up at the televisions that pump CNN into the terminals.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” said Malone in a November CNBC interview.

What a concept. That might result in an attrition of hoaxes about Russian collusion, etc.

Nicosia previously reported that some of the most partisan hosts at CNN [you know, turd-chuckers like Jim Acosta and Don Lemon] are looking for alternative employment as the merger looms in the near future. 

Resumes are going out at @CNN. Lots not shockingly to @MSNBC. Since Discovery is going to quickly pivot to the middle. Many that have made a ‘brand’ in the ‘resistance’ space see MSNBC as the only island. (See; Acosta, Stelter, Lemon, Darcy)

CNN's business clusterfracks might translate into major layoffs at the company, with Nicosia previously reporting that Malone was planning on terminating the employment of the network’s most partisan personalities, who then might have to get off their fat butts and take to the streets as gumshoe reporters.

Discovery’s takeover of CNN could be complete as soon as Friday when its merger with WarnerMedia may be completed.

CNN's Acosta gets educated by VA's Attorney General about communism

Dear Diary: Why do I feel stupid sometimes?

The Compromised News Network's Jim Acosta is upset that Virginia elected Republicans who refuse to infuse the state with socialist policies. So like a good socialist-loving fake news "reporter" Acosta had something to say and called Virginia a "soviet-style state," under Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

Leftists can't stand when they lose to the voters, which is why they prefer dead ones and illegal immigrants who they believe will vote for them.

“I seem to remember Glenn Youngkin campaigning in a fleece vest in Virginia,” Acosta said on Tuesday night. “He was running as a different kind of Republican. I was told there was going to be a vest, not a Soviet-style police state across the Potomac from Washington.”

Acosta also accused Youngkin of “pitting citizen against citizen” after playing a clip of the governor promising to remove “inherently divisive teaching practices out of the schools.” 

In other words, Youngkin refused to allow teachers to promulgate Marxist-based critical race theory ideology in the classrooms because parents are against it, and it's racist because it's designed to make white children feel inferior and guilty about their skin color. It also vilifies America and while we aren't perfect, teaching both the good and bad is the way to go.

Acosta was pissed off by the removal of CRT curriculum from the taxpayer-funded schools even though that was one of the promises that got Youngkin elected by the people. In fact, it was a chief promise he made along with his Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears. But the fake news socialist said that it violates “the traditional conservative tenets of liberty, anti-censorship and freedom.” CRT, however, censors patriotism, for example, and other forms of free speech.

When a leftist makes a claim about something they are against, you can bet that they are the ones doing what they are attacking. The term is 'cancel culture.' Example: treating Black folks like they're not capable of getting ID in order to vote is racist, but they claim that voter ID itself is racist. Some call it the soft bigotry of low expectations, but it's really not soft at all. You can also see it in the classroom where grades are dismissed because grades are racist, math is racist, and words can be racist.

The same is true with their push for equity. The Left believes that all outcomes should be equal, which tends to eliminate individual excellence and promotes mediocrity. Equal opportunity makes sense, as outcomes are based on ability and effort made by the individual. If everyone gets a trophy, then trophies are meaningless. If everyone knows they can get a trophy, the outcomes all improve.

Acosta, who never met a Republican he liked, also slammed Youngkin for putting a process in place for parents to complain if public school teachers violate the law by teaching racially divisive concepts that stem from CRT.  For example, claiming all members of one race [aka the White race] inherently oppress all members of other races.

Acosta, who calls himself a journalist, compared the measure to the Texas Heartbeat law, a pro-life protection that allows citizens to sue abortionists who perform an abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around the sixth week of pregnancy. 

“How concerned should we be, about these laws that seem to be catching on of, citizens ratting each other out?” he asked Jong-Fast, adding they encourage “canceling your neighbor across the street or next door.”

Yeah, those laws seemed to have been catching on now that science progressed enough to show that it isn't fetal tissue abortion kills, it's a baby. And insofar as Acosta mention 'canceling your neighbor,' it's laughable to hear a leftist say that when this is their default position whenever they hear something they don't like.

Virginia state Attorney General Jason Miyares responded to Acosta’s remarks during a Fox News interview with host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, saying, “I think what Jim Acosta said — listen, my family fled Communist Cuba.”

“You want to talk about what ‘Soviet-style’ looks like? It’s the opposite of freedom,” he said.

“So clearly, Jim Acosta maybe needs to take some history classes of what Soviet-style communism actually looks like. And [Virginia is] the opposite.”

“What we have said is parents matter. Listen, if you’re a parent and you want to mask your child for six, seven, eight hours a day, you absolutely have that right. That’s your individual decision,” Miyares continued. “The great irony of all this, is in Soviet-style communist states like Cuba, the state diminishes parents. They say, ‘Your loyalty is to the state,’ and parents have less control. This is about parental empowerment.”

But the Left really is aware of this and they used to be more covert about their desire to remove parents from their role; they prefer the government be the main source of influence.

"The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions." Karl Marx

Miyares told oh how his uncle had been arrested in the middle of the night by the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro's secret police and that their home was “nationalized: in the name of fairness and equity.”

Equity--an excuse to do what they will.

Equity, while it sounds fair and looks good, is like a chocolate ice cream cone but the chocolate isn't chocolate and you do not want to eat it.

DC shooting has leftist reporters actually reporting on it, leaves 2 injured

While the January 6th pro-Trump demonstrators languish in prison awaiting their trials for protesting at the Capitol building, wearing weird costumes, carrying American flags, and yes, acting like jerks with some few destroying stuff, at least two people were shot with angry guns Thursday in the nation's capital. The shooting took place near a restaurant that Jim Acosta was dining at when it went down, as he spoke to a CNN colleague and bragging about how important he is to have gone to such a fine establishment. Anus breath idiot that Acosta is.

People ran from the scene like cockroaches when the lights go on.

The Metropolitan Police Department said that the call came in around 8:20 p.m., just as Acosta was eating something expensive and foreign, not American. This occurred on a busy street filled with restaurants and bars, some of which Jim Acosta has frequented and highly recommends.

Two apparent males were struck by bullets and were "conscious and breathing," police said.

No motive for the attack was disclosed but one thing is clear, these guns had better stop shooting people.

No arrests have been made, police said as Jim Acosta was seen leaving the scene with an odiferous following trailing behind. Notice how CNN had to cover it because it was too close to home to ignore, as they usually do.

Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner, Robert J. Contee III, said of the incident, “[I]’ve been in this city for 30 years. This is the same movie when I was a boy growing up here,” he said, referring to the days when the nation's capital was known as the “murder capital” of the U.S. “When are we going to do something different? … What does not happen here is accountability? People are not ready to have that conversation. 

Contee added, “When I start talking about accountability, people start talking mass incarceration. I’m not talking about mass incarceration. I’m talking about holding people accountable who make our communities unsafe.”

He also said that once these shooters are caught, we will know who they are [because of the catch and release policy of the far Left]. He said [and I paraphrase] that these people don't need to be given a job, or put on some kind of social service program; they need to be locked up.

I couldn't agree more.

Jim Acosta resorts to bovine scatological references to regain viewers

In a feeble attempt at regaining relevance, Compromised News Network's Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta has resorted to using profanity as way of being edgy and openly attacks Fox News.

Acosta, however, is about as edgy as halitosis.

On Saturday, Acosta discussed what he determined is misinformation, calling Fox News a "bulls**t factory." And let's not pretend Acosta doesn't have a nose for bulls**t--he and his network perfected it.

Jimbo was referencing the New York Post story which falsely claimed that copies of a children's book written by Kamala Hahahaharris were given to illegal migrant children as part of a "welcome kit." It turns out that was a lie and the "reporter" ended up resigning after saying she was forced to write that story. 

Now that's a bad thing and I believe most if not all conservatives would agree.

“That tale from the border didn’t just border on B.S., this was USDA Grade-A bulls**t,” Acosta said. “And the [New York Post] reporter who wrote the story resigned, claiming she was forced to make it up. But the damage was done, pumped out over the airwaves at the bulls**t factory also known as Fox News.”

According to Real Clear Politics, Acosta said that “What’s really sad is that even prominent Republicans are still repeating this even after the story was debunked,” and that “The top House Republican, Kevin McCarthy repeated the lie on FOX News after Biden’s speech to Congress.”

In defense of these Republicans, how were they to know that the story was false? 

“Lies, big lies can have terrible consequences. Just four months ago we all witnessed the fallout about the Big Lie about the election — and it should’ve served as a lesson on how lies can kill,” the CNN anchor said, make reference to Hitler's use of the term "Big Lie."

But in Acosta's case, we have the pot calling the kettle a kettle of color.

While nobody can love themself more than Jim Acosta loves James Acosta, he seems to be unable to mount even a modicum of self-awareness and see the irony of his words.

For example, Fox News reported in July 2020, “CNN’s chief anti-Trump reporter Jim Acosta was blasted on social media over a tweet that quoted White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany out of context.”

McEnany spoke about children returning to schools in the midst of a COVID-19 shutdown. She said: “The science should not stand in the way of this, but as Dr. Scott Atlas said — I thought this was a good quote, ‘Of course, we can do it. Everyone else in the Western world, our peer nations are doing it. We are the outlier here,'” McEnany said, quoting the former Stanford Medical Center neurology chief.”

She continued: “The science is very clear on this. For example, you look at the JAMA pediatric study of 46 pediatric hospitals in North America that said the risk of critical illness from COVID is far less for children than the seasonal flu. The science is on our side here. We encourage localities and states to just simply follow the science. Open our schools.”

But Acosta, ever the crap-weasel reporter, simply ignored the context of McEnany's statement and simply quoted her as saying: “The science should not stand in the way of this.”

Here's Acosta's tweet:

The White House Press Secretary on Trump's push to reopen schools: "The science should not stand in the way of this."

— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) July 16, 2020

Acosta's biggest overall failure as a so-called reporter is that his narcissism will not allow him to make anyone other than himself the story. He did it with former President Trump as a White House reporter, and he is trying to do it now with his potty-mouth statements. 

Jim Acosta is so in love with himself, that his Twitter avatar was a photo of himself looking at himself in a mirror. Someone must have pointed out to him how cheesy that makes him look so now all he has as an avatar is himself without the mirror.

Corrupt News Network's rating circle the bowl as does Jim Acosta's weekend show

Viewers are leaving CNN faster than roaches when the lights come on, after merely three weeks of Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta's new weekend show "CNN Newsroom."

Acosta, whose fame stems from his obnoxious interactions with former President Trump, got the anchoring gig with the hope that it would pull CNN out of the toilet of despair. 

The Acosta-anchored Saturday extravaganza has averaged 796,000 viewers mostly in airports and nursing homes where the channel selector cannot be reached. Not surprisingly, CNN averaged 1.2 million viewers all of last year, and 1.1 million in the three months before Acosta took over the time slot, a 28% drop with Acosta anchoring his show.

But it's on Sundays when Acosta's suck-worthiness shines. His "CNN Newsroom" has thus far averaged 710,000 viewers, or roughly the same number of Chennai, India residents who ride on the roof of a commuter bus every day.

Acosta's rude and narcissistic behavior was best exemplified when in a 2018 post-midterm press conference he refused to give up the microphone to a young, female White House aide who was instructed to take it from him. This started a brief, bizarre contact between the two and it was obvious that Acosta bullied her. 

His White House press pass was revoked the following day but eventually restored when CNN argued that it violated the First and Fifth Amendment rights of their idiot scumcrumpet and the network.

But that's water under the bridge. 

CNN's numbers don't get any better when you look at key demographics of adults between the ages of 25-54, where his show is down 40% compared to 2020 on Saturday and 43% on Sunday.

The encounter with the aide didn’t change Acosta's abrasive, self-serving style, as he continued his aggressive behavior toward members of the Trump administration throughout his time as a White House fake news correspondent.

On his exit from the White House assignment, Acosta was widely mocked for admitting he had no plans to cover Joe Biden's presidency as actively as he did Trump's.

Both Acosta and the network deserve to suffer the viewership losses.

Chris Not Fredo Cuomo: "go straight ethnic" with "harshest cleaners" to fight COVID-19

Comedy News Network's Chris "Not Fredo" Cuomo is pulling ahead of his brother, Andrew "Not Bozo" Cuomo, this week for the dumbest of the two brothers after telling his viewer [not a typo] that when it comes to cleaning surfaces in order to fight the coronavirus, people need to "go straight ethnic."

For some reason, Chris got it into his empty head that certain groups of people, be they black, Asian, Hispanic or whatever, do a better job cleaning than white people. 

That's racist for real, not just a main Democratic talking point.

During a conversation with CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Not Fredo questioned his colleague about the contagiousness of the coronavirus and how long it can stay on a surface.

"How long can the thing live, like, on my desk?" Cuomo asked, sounding a bit like AOC but without the annoying belchy voice, with his "like" tics.

"Well, I'm going to give you the answer, but I don't want people to freak out by this," Gupta warned, "because it can live on surfaces for days, actually. ... Several studies that have looked at this, certain surfaces in the right condition, it can live for days."

Dr. Gupta advised Cuomo's viewer to "disinfect all the time" since it "doesn't matter" if something was cleaned yesterday if someone coughs or sneezes after.

"Go straight ethnic," Cuomo said. "Be cleaning everything all the time with the harshest cleaners that you can find."

The remarks sparked quite the reaction on social media, some even called for his firing, which sucks the same as when the left does it.

The irony of this situation is that CNN's crew has been criticizing President Trump for calling the Wuhan coronavirus a "foreign virus," which is accurate. Just a few weeks ago, they were calling it the same thing as well as the "China virus," and the "Wuhan virus," but they believe their viewer has a short memory, and perhaps he or she has. 

But then again, if CNN and the mainstream media wasn't hypocritical, they'd be speechless.

Andrew Gillum of CNN "inebriated" in Miami Beach hotel room with meth

Now I'm not saying Andrew Gillum, a Comedy News Network contributor and former Democratic gubernatorial candidate for Florida, was caught screwed up on methamphetamine the cops found in the hotel room in which he was screwed up in, but I am saying that Gillum has some 'splainin' to do.

The almost governor of Florida was found "inebriated" early Friday morning in a hotel room where meth was recovered with two other totally screwed up men who didn't know up from down when they were found by Miami Beach police.

Police were responding to an apparent drug overdose report when Gillum, 40, was also in the room at the Mondrian Hotel in South Beach with the two other men. The cops arrived shortly after midnight.

“Officers then attempted to speak to Mr. Gillum,” an officer wrote in the incident report. "Mr. Giullum was unable to communicate with officers due to his inebriated state.”

In other words, he was stoned or drunk out of his gourd to the point where his speech was worse than Joe Biden's.

Paramedics responded a second time to the hotel to conduct a welfare check on Gillum, the report says.

“Fire Rescue stated that he was in stable condition and his vitals were normal,” the report says.

"I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends,” Gillum claimed to a Miami Herald reporter. “While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines," he also claimed.

He went on: "I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement. I’m thankful to the incredible Miami Beach EMS team for their efforts. I will spend the next few weeks with my family and appreciate privacy during this time."

The people of Florida don't need his apology. They didn't vote him into office, but it really came close and this guy could have become governor.

The incident report says that officers observed in plain sight three small clear plastic baggies containing suspected crystal meth on both the bed and floor of the room.

Gillum left the hotel and returned to his residence without incident, the report says.

“At this time the incident is not being investigated as a criminal matter,” Miami Beach Police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez told Fox News.

The person who suffered the drug overdose was identified in the police report as Travis Dyson, 30, not to be confused with James Dyson of vacuum cleaner fame.

The man who called police, Aldo Mejias, 56, told them that he gave Dyson his credit card to rent a room.

He told police, according to the report, that when he arrived in the room he discovered Dyson and Gillum under the influence of an unknown substance, but for sure, it could not have been meth because Gillum said it wasn't.

“Mr. Mejias observed Mr. Gillum inside of the bathroom vomiting,” the report says.

Gillum joined the Crappy News Network as a political commentator in January 2019.

CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment because they any network that employs Jim Acosta has nothing useful to say to the real media.

Gillum had served as mayor of Tallahassee and ran for governor in 2018. Luckily, he was defeated by Republican Ron DeSantis in a very close race.

He was investigated for ethics violations as mayor and basically seems to suck as a person, but makes a fine politician.

Communist News Network's Jim Acosta tries to divide America and hurt COVID-19 efforts

CNN's Jim Acosta has once again proven that not only is he not a journalist but a useful idiot for the Communist Party, but that he would want to see President Trump's efforts at getting the government to deal with the COVID-19 [coronavirus] fail and allow Americans to die in the process.

There's little doubt that this is the Communist News Network's latest attempt to weaponize coronavirus against President Trump. [H/T Fox News]

Acosta’s story headlined, “Source: Trump is concerned about coming into contact with people infected with coronavirus,” cited a single source “close to” the president who said Trump is worried after coming into contact with a Brazilian official who tested positive for coronavirus. The president of Brazil also later tested positive for the virus.

"See, I'm touching you; I'm touching you."

Acosta, on the other hand, says that he welcomes contact with those infected with the virus that has now become a pandemic. "I touch strangers; I touch children," he said, "and I'm going to continue touching people no matter what the cost to my personal safety. Trump doesn't have the guts to touch people with coronavirus because, unlike me and Brian Stelter, we enjoy the touch and contact with strangers."

Reacting to Acosta's words Media Research Center Vice President Dan Gainor told Fox News: "This is them most idiotic thing I've seen all week. And this week that's saying something. Of course, ‘Trump is concerned about coming into contact with people infected with coronavirus.’ We all are. And we're all supposed to be. That's how you stop a virus, by being concerned about who you interact with and taking precautions.”

“I know Jim Acosta hates Trump. But this is even stupid for one of the most ridiculous figures in the history of journalism. What's amazing is Acosta isn't even good at trolling Trump. All he does is embarrass CNN and further degrade the news industry,” Gainor said. “CNN is trying to hurt Trump and divide our country in a time of national crisis.”

DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall said that Acosta’s story “clearly falls into the category of ‘this is not news’” and simply the latest example of CNN’s anti-Trump business model.

“That CNN and it's White House correspondent want to make a big deal out of a normal concern is just more indication of their wide-ranging agenda to pester the Trump administration,” McCall told Fox News.

But Acosta doubled-down: "I welcome a fight with COVID-19. I'm not afraid a little microscopic organism can hurt me--I'm Jim Freaking Acosta."

The O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper reported Thursday that Fabio Wajngarten, met with President Trump in Mar-A-Lago on Saturday, tested positive for the virus early Wednesday. Health officials confirmed the diagnosis. 

Friday, Fox News confirmed that Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's president who also met with Trump on Saturday, also tested positive. This may be a factor in President Trump's concern--he is, at the age of 73, within the parameters of those most highly vulnerable to the virus.

This story is what is known as a CNN "scoop."

“Any sensible person would prefer to avoid the virus, so reporting that Trump is concerned is really a ‘so what?’ moment journalistically,” McCall said. “Using an unnamed source to leak this story when there are plenty of on-the-record sources available to the media to discuss the matter is also curious. Given the many other important aspects of the COVID-19 situation that need attention, this comes off as a real journalistic tangent and waste of time.”

Gainor’s colleague, MRC director Tom Graham, joked that the alternative headline could have been, “EVERYONE is concerned about coming into contact with people infected with coronavirus.”

It's time for Jim Acosta to do what he is more suited for: becoming a test pilot. Yes, he can test the pilot light of old gas stoves that still use a pilot light rather than the modern day igniter. If Acosta can blow out the tiny flame, the stove is considered defective . . .  like his thinking.

Trump increases sanctions on Iran for killing protesters--Dems upset

President Trump isn't playing games with Iran.

The Islamic so-called Republic, [designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO)] has killed about 1,500 protesters under the direction of the late Cassem Soleimani. Our President had Soleimani destroyed like the rabid weasel that he was.

Now the Administration is tightening up the sanctions even more against Iran as Brian Hook, the Special Envoy to Iran made the announcement on Friday. Specifically, the sanctions are against a top general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“The United States is listing IRGC Brigadier General Hassan Shahvarpour under section 7031c visa sanctions. General Shahvarpour committed gross violations of human rights against protestors in Mahshahr. He oversaw the massacre of 148 helpless Iranians in the Mahshahr region last November,” Hook announced. “General Shahvarpour was in command of units responsible for the violent crackdown and lethal repression around Mahshahr. This is the first designation on an Iranian regime official being taken under the State Department authority from section 7031c authorities.”

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) was livid over the new sanctions. "Why are we allowing this president to do whatever he wants to do to a dedicated military man who is a Shah? Isn't a Shah supposed to be a holy man? I don't know what a varpour is, but a Shah is an important dude. Does Forty-Five think he can get away with putting sanctions on a holy man? Not on my watch. Impeach Forty-Five. Impeach Forty-Five. Impeach Forty-Five . . . " she continued as "reporter" Jim Acosta from the Compromised News Network (CNN) cheered along with her.

Rep. Jerry "The Eyebrow" Nadler was asked by CNN what he thought of the increased sanctions.

"How can we expect things to improve with Iran if this president punishes their leaders by freezing their assets? This is disgraceful. We need to be nicer to Iran  and they will be nicer to us, and we need to move forward with impeachment and restore the republic."

In the background one can hear Maxine Waters and Jim Acosta chanting "Impeach Forty-FIve!"

Hook explained the reason for the increased sanctions.

“Since the violent crackdown on protests last November, the United States has sanctioned two judges and eight other regime officials for their roles in brutalizing the Iranian people. We are continuing to review all information we receive from the Iranian people and will continue to hold more regime officials responsible for human rights violations.” 

Hook continued.

“Over the past week, many Iranians took to the streets again to protest a corrupt government that lies to them. President Trump recognized their courage with his tweets in Farsi this past week standing with the Iranian people. We call on all nations to join our lead, particularly by sanctioning Iranian officials for human rights violations.”

"Trump don't speak no Farsi," Maxine Waters opined. "Impeach Forty-Five!"

Hook continued even more.

“The Iranian regime is in a deep economic crisis. Back in May of 2018, shortly after leaving the Iran nuclear deal, Secretary Pompeo said that we will deny revenue to Iran’s clerics who use it to fund terrorism and violence across the region. He said that Iran’s expansionist foreign policy would no longer be cost-free, and that the economic price would be severe. We have succeeded in raising the costs for Iran, and the regime is badly managing an economic crisis of its own making.

“Iran’s oil exports are down by more than 2 million barrels per day, reducing Iran’s revenue from oil by more than 80%. This amounts to a loss of around $50 billion annually. Today the question people are asking is whether the regime has the competence to avoid a banking disaster and hyperinflation. The Iranian economy this year could contract by as much as 14 percent.”

The move by the State Department comes after the Treasury Department announced additional sanctions “against any individual owning, operating, trading with, or assisting sectors of the Iranian economy, including construction, manufacturing, textiles, and mining.”

The U.S. State Department provided the following additional information about IRGC Brigadier General Hassan Shahvarpour:

An individual designated under Section 7031(c), as well as their immediate family members, is ineligible for entry into the United States.

Various open source media, along with statements by Iranian officials and information submitted by the Iranian people to the Rewards for Justice tip-line present a consistent timeline and scope of the killings in Mahshahr. They also indicate that the excessive use of force against protestors was perpetrated, at least in part, by Khuzestan Province’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards.

By nature of his position, Shahravar likely had knowledge of the operation to suppress the protests and the subsequent gross violations of human rights that were committed by his subordinates. Shahvarpour failed to prevent or stop his subordinates from committing the killings that took place in Mahshahr.

There is no information indicating that Shahvarpour initiated an investigation into these gross violations of human rights.

House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi (D-CA) was asked by Jim Acosta of CNN what she thought of the new sanctions.

"He [President Trump] can do anything he wants; it doesn't matter because for the rest of his miserable life, this president is going to be impeached. There is nothing he can do to change that. No sanctions, no increase in job growth. No assassinations of honorable military leaders [Soleimani] can change the fact the he is impeached for life. You know, Hillary Clinton should be in the White House. And Stacy Abrams should be the governor of Georgia. Al Gore won too. So did Douglas, but Lincoln somehow was declared president. It isn't fair. It just isn't fair."

"Impeach Forty-Five!" someone sounding like Maxine Waters yelled in the background.

Trump shuts down Jim Acosta at G7, and boy is he miffed

"Hi Handsome"

In the words of Ben Shapiro, "Ladies, if you ever want to find a man, find one that loves you as much as Jim Acosta loves Jim Acosta."

Acosta hates President Trump more than he hates Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Mau and Pol Pot. If hate could turn into grains of sand, Acosta would have more grains than all of the beaches on the planet and add to that total, the stars in the universe.

Nobody is more obnoxious to Donald Trump than Jim Acosta, who tries to heckle him while he giving speeches. He did so while the President was speaking at the G7 and Acosta was quite proud of his bravery.

During a press Q&A, Trump was talking about his desire for clean air and water, but a wealthy country as well. In case you haven't noticed, Trump tends to use familiar hyperbole, small words and repetition. That's his style; that's how he rolls.

“I think I know more about the environment than most people. I want clean air, I want clean water, I want a wealthy country, I want a spectacular country with jobs, with pensions, with so many things and that’s what we’re getting,” Trump said.

At some point, someone in the crowd attempted to interrupt Trump, but he was shut down. It was unclear as to whether that rude narcissistic person was Acosta, but the Daily Caller is fairly certain it was.

As Trump wrapped up his answers, he began to walk off stage. That’s when Acosta predictably sprang into action.

You can hear CNN's hitman shouting that he didn’t answer the question as to whether or not he believed in climate change, but Trump seemed to glance in his direction and upon seeing who it was asking the question, continued on without answering.

Acosta, feeling like he really got Trump this time, took to Twitter like a fly on feces and described what happened.

“At the end of the news conference I asked Trump whether he believed in climate change. He walked away from the stage and didn’t answer the question,” tweeted Acosta, acting as if Trump was required to answer him.

He then tweeted:

As this video shows, Trump walks away from perfectly capable of hearing the questions on whether he believes in climate change. He clearly heard and he didn’t want to answer it. Saying you want “clean air” and “clean water” isn’t the same as recognizing the climate change threat. https://t.co/H3JpJgk8EG
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) August 26, 2019

So Acosta asks Trump a question out of left field, having nothing to do with the subject matter of his speech, and of course, it's a "gotcha" question so that this moron could take that back to the Creative News Network and feel as if he won a major anti-Trump battle. But Trump wisely didn't fall for it, knowing that no matter what he said in answer to the irrelevant question, CNN was going to give the answer a hernia after contorting it to their agenda.

Not answering Jim Acosta seems like a perfect strategy. Another one might be to break all the mirrors in his house which may cause serious mental anguish and put him out of commission for a while.

However, in answer to Acosta's question, President Trump believes climate change is real but not the emergency the left makes it out to be in order to push their socialist agenda. Ironically we know Trump said this because CNN is one of the news agencies who reported on it.

And you wonder why nobody takes the mainstream news media seriously anymore.

Comedy News Network's Jim Acosta fibbed about Trump's words

Comedy News Network Narcissist (CNNN) Jim Acosta lied about what President Trump said in a speech and the internet didn't let him get away with it.

The dapper White House correspondent lied about remarks that President Trump made during a speech on Thursday about an overhaul to the country's immigration system.

During the speech, Acosta tweeted: "Trump in Rose Garden speech paints asylum seekers with broad brush accusing them of misleading immigration authorities at border: 'These are frivolous claims.'"

Acosta lied like a prostitute in Boy's Town.

Trump made a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate asylum seekers in his speech, saying: "Unfortunately, legitimate asylum seekers are being displaced by those lodging frivolous claims. These are frivolous claims to gain admission into our country."


Here is the full transcript of Trump's speech:

We must also restore the integrity of our broken asylum system. Our nation has a proud history of affording protection to those fleeing government persecutions. Unfortunately, legitimate asylum seekers are being displaced by those lodging frivolous claims. These are frivolous claims to gain admission into our country. Asylum abuse also strains our public school systems, our hospitals, and local shelters, using funds that we should, and that have to go to elderly veterans, at risk youth, Americans in poverty, and those in genuine need of protection. We're using the funds that should be going to them. And that shouldn't happen. And it's not going to happen in a very short period of time. I have to get this approved. My plan expedites relief for legitimate asylum seekers by screening out the meritless claims. If you have a proper claim, you will quickly be admitted. If you don't, you will promptly be returned home.

The Center for Immigration Studies tweeted:

"In fact, President Trump said that 'legitimate asylum seekers' are disadvantaged by frivolous claims. The president is correct. Out of every 100 migrants who make credible fear claims, only 13 are ultimately granted asylum. 52 don't even file for asylum."

The Trump Campaign tweeted:

"You know there's video proving you're lying, right? Trump: 'Our nation has a proud history of affording protection to those fleeing government persecutions. Unfortunately, legitimate asylum seekers are being displaced by those lodging frivolous claims….My plan expedites relief'" 

"How can you do this and go home at night thinking you've turned in an honest day's work as a journalist?" 

The Free Beacon noted that Acosta also retweeted a lie from "star" NBC News reporter Julia Edwards Ainsley, who was "fact-checking" Trump during the speech.

"Trump: most claims by families cross the border are frivolous," Ainsley tweeted. "Fact: fewer than 1 percent of families crossing turn out not to be legitimate."

"That tweet was also incorrect; Trump at no point said that a majority of claims were frivolous," the Free Beacon reported.

Furthermore, in an interview last week, Acting ICE Director Matthew T. Albence said: "In just a couple of weeks, we’ve interviewed 256 family units and identified 65 fraudulent families. Almost three out of every ten families we’ve interviewed have become fraudulent."

Rumor has it that Acosta may be an illegal alien from another planet.

MSNBC, CNN staff on suicide watch awaiting Mueller report

The Three Stooges

The following is satirical.

The leftist media from MSNBC and CNN are being closely monitored and are currently on suicide watch now that it has been made clear that the Mueller report will not recommend any further indictments. Adam Schiff is also said to be at wits end and refuses to come out of the bathroom, but it's believed that he's too narcissistic to harm himself.

MSNBC host  Chris Matthews seems to be in the greatest danger and has been heard talking to himself in animated tones saying, "They need to connect the dots. The dots. The damned dots. They aren't connecting them and that's the key, I tell you. And then they'll take him down along with his wife and kids."

The lunatic progressive cable news host was particularly irked that the president wasn’t indicted on obstruction of justice, in spite of the fact that under the law, he actually didn't obstruct justice. But worst of all for Matthews is that Trump never sat down for an interview with the special counsel where he could be tripped up.

“Why was there never an interrogation of this president? We were told for weeks by experts, ‘You cannot deal with an obstruction-of-justice charge or investigation without getting the motive. ... How could they let Trump off the hook?” Matthews whined, as a tear slowly meandered down his very white cheek and found purchase on his quivering lower lip.

“He will not be charged with obstruction of justice or collusion without having to sit down with the Special Counsel Mueller and answer his damn questions. How could that happen? I'm so upset I could spit,” he cried.

Daily Wire Leftist
Tears Tumbler

Matthews' primetime colleague, Rachel Maddow, [aka "Madcow"] was visibly emotional throughout her show which she began by saying she was reporting from Tennessee where she was fishing and turning the fresh water rapids into a salt water stream from her hot, liberal tears.

"A couple of hours ago, or maybe even less than that, I was standing up to my boobs in a trout stream in Tennessee," Madcow told her viewers. "But now it's Mueller time! And so I'm in a studio in the great state of Tennessee. ... To be quite honest, I'd rather see Trump fail than see the nation win. He needs to go."

Later, CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta tearfully said the White House was “quietly celebrating” and that the Trump administration was reacting to Mueller’s report with “a fair amount of glee,” as mucous visibly leaked from his left nostril and he sighed heavily.

“I talked to a Trump campaign adviser earlier this evening who said, ‘This was a great day for America and we won,’” Acosta told “AC360” anchor Anderson Cooper. “That’s how they feel right now. . .  jerks.”

Liberal celebrities also appeared surprised by the sudden end to the investigation.

Outspoken anti-Trump comedian Chelsea Handler took to Twitter on Friday night and told her 8 million followers that she was “sexually attracted” to Robert Mueller as she is with most animate objects.

Comedy News Network's Acosta gets it back good from Trump and 'Angel Moms'

Comedy News Network's (CNN) Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta really came off acting like a silly weasel Friday when he suggested that President Donald Trump was manufacturing a fake crisis at the southern border just to build an unnecessary wall, to use Acosta's term.

The so-called reporter asked, "What do you say to your critics who say you are creating a national emergency? That you're concocting a national emergency here in order to get your wall?"

Without missing a beat, Trump shot back: "Ask the 'Angel Moms.' What do you think?" he asked as he faced them. "You think I'm 'creating' something?"

 President Trump redirected Mr. Acosta to the so-called "Angel Moms" — women whose children have been murdered at the hands of illegal immigrants — joining him at the press conference.

One 'Angel Mom,' according to USA Today reporter Christal Hayes, [a Chris Hayes stand-in] stood up and yelled to Acosta: "This is real!"

"Ask these incredible women who lost their daughters and their sons," Trump continued. "Your question is a very political question, because you have an agenda. You're CNN. You're fake news. You have an agenda."

Sometimes Trump hits the nail on the head, and this time he did.

"Take a look at our federal prison population,” the President advised Acosta. “See how many of them, percentage-wise, are illegal aliens. Just see."

"Angel Mom" Sabine Durben, whose 30-year-old son Dominic was tragically killed by an illegal immigrant who had two prior DUI charges, confronted Acosta and challenged his comments about a "manufactured" crisis, reported Jon Miller, a White House correspondent for The Blaze.

The Daily Wire reported Thursday evening that President Donald Trump was being shielded from "Angel Moms" requesting to meet with him by two of his own staffers, according to two White House sources speaking to One American News Network correspondent Ryan Girdusky.

"I don't know exactly what is going on and why we can't see our President," Ms. Durben told The Daily Wire. "We've been scheduled to come here for over a week. Everything is just so strange. I don't know who would shield him from us. I just know that if he sees pictures of our dead children, he wouldn’t sign that bill."

Acosta, painted into a corner, reportedly had the "Angel Moms" on a CNN segment following the confrontation.

“Jim Acosta convinced by 'Angel Moms' to do a live shot with them behind him. They’re telling their story on [CNN] now. Finally the network airs [real news],” wrote Miller.

At the press conference, Trump further addressed the Angel Moms and others effected by illegal immigration.

"I have such respect for these people: 'Angel Moms,' 'Angel Dads,' 'Angel Families,'" said the President. "These are brave people. They don't have to be here, they don't have to be doing this. They're doing it for other people. So I just want to thank all of you for being here."

"Angel Moms" have been vocal in the opposition to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill, begging the president not to sign it. As outlined by The Daily Wire’s Josh Hammer, the bill "is the exact boondoggle Trump ran against."

But we have to ask ourselves: is President Trump playing 4D chess with the Democrats? Is he merely pretending to be a bad negotiator and knows that soon he will turn the tables on them?

Nah. He probably screwed up.

But at least he owns Jim Acosta.

Dear Diary: I ripped into Sarah Sanders today, signed Jim Acosta

The lovely and talented Jim Acosta appeared on the Comedy News Network with hostess Brooke Baldwin on Monday just before White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders spoke with the media.

Jim Acosta, being the tough, brave so-called journalist that he aspires to be one day, just could not control himself and went after Sanders behind her back saying that she doesn't live in the "real world" like he, Jim Acosta, does.

Baldwin and Jim Acosta were talking trash about the White House's reaction to the possible temporary reopening of the partial government shutdown when Jim Acosta said without Sanders being present: "It will be interesting to see whether or not Sarah Sanders and the White House team over here have truly come back to the real world when she steps out to the podium here in about 30 minutes from now."

Jim Acosta had plenty of cruel and bitter criticism dripping from his chiseled face as he targeted President Trump and the White House during his appearance with the lovely leftist Baldwin.

The attacks began with Baldwin taking a veiled shot at Trump, never mentioning the Democrats’ refusing to budge on the issue of the wall while noting that the shutdown cost the U.S. economy $11 billion. She stated:

"I’m Brooke Baldwin. And in just about half an hour from now, the White House Press Secretary will be answering questions from the media, for the first time in more than five weeks. It comes as President Trump told The Wall Street Journal that there’s less than a 50-50 chance that new negotiations over border wall funding will succeed. If they fail, that could lead to either another Government shutdown in about 18 days’ time or to the President declaring a national emergency to get the money to build his border wall. Let’s go live to our chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, who will, of course, be in that briefing room, momentarily. So Jim, it’s still stunning to me to see this new report from the CBO that the Government shutdown has so far cost the U.S. economy $11 billion."

Jim Acosta, never one to pull a punch at a woman, gazed into his cell phone, took a selfie and replied :

"That’s right, Brooke. And that’s a dollar figure that’s double what the President was asking for for his border wall down on the border with Mexico. Now some of that will be recouped, according to the CBO, once these federal workers start receiving their back pay, but at the end of the day, there is going to be a big hit to this economy and I suspect that Sarah Sanders will be asked about that when she has this briefing in about 30 minutes from now. That’s the latest time estimate as to when this is going to get started. And as you were just saying a few moments ago, it has been a long time since we’ve had a White House briefing over here in the briefing room. It’s been 41 days. Since December 18th. That was the last time Sarah Sanders had a briefing. That is such a long period of time that we had a Government shutdown, the longest Government shutdown in U.S. history in the middle of that time frame.

"And so there’s going to be a lot of questions asked. It will be interesting to see just how long Sarah Sanders devotes to this briefing. Some of the later briefings we saw at the end of 2018 were running on average in the ballpark of 20 or 25 minutes. And so, that may go pretty quickly when we see her come to the podium here in about half an hour from now. But obviously the Government shutdown is going to be top of mind in that briefing room. Just 18 days to go before the next deadline for a lapse in Government funding and we could be back where we started all over again. And the President, as you said, in that interview with The Wall Street Journal, that he’s only putting the odds of preventing this shutdown or another standoff with Democrats at less than 50-50. Those are not good odds. And it comes just at the very beginning of this negotiation, this negotiating process with Democrats. And so that obviously is going to come up."

Acosta then segued to the indictment of Roger Stone, saying that President Trump was “trying to downplay the relationship” with Stone, “kind of an excuse the President has used” with regard to other targets of the Mueller investigation.

Jim Acosta then smelled his fingers and added:

"Brooke, I think the other thing that’s obviously going to come up is the indictment of Roger Stone, which sort of caused a fire storm last Friday with Roger Stone giving the Nixonian salute as he left the courthouse down in Florida. The President was trying to downplay the relationship over the weekend, saying, well, he wasn’t really near me or near us during the election as it got close to election time. That is something that the President, that’s kind of an excuse the President has used, or an explanation the President has used with respect to other people who have been indicted in the Russia investigation. He sort of said the same kind of thing about Paul Manafort and others who have been targeted in the Mueller probe. And so it will be interesting to see just how Sarah Sanders frames all of this. What we’ve noticed in recent days that she’s just trying to stay away from those questions about the Russia investigation all together."

Finally, Jim Acosta predictably kissed the aging butt of House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi for how she behaved during the shutdown, bloviating, “somebody who you know, even conservative allies of the president agreed had really just sort of taught the President a lesson.”

Then Jim Acosta smiled, put his cell phone into his front pocket where he had it on vibrate, and told Baldwin, "Call me some time."


I hope that 2019 will be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
