Horror: Bezos Ordering WaPo to Establish
... Balance?
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/28/2024 3:29:30 PM
Perhaps the stream of resignations at the Washington Post over the last few days will prove a feature rather than a bug for Jeff Bezos. After the Amazon multi-billionaire ordered the Post to pull its endorsement of Kamala Harris, staffers and editors erupted in outrage, while readers canceled subscriptions. Several staffers announced their intent to resign in protest over the paper's refusal to take an official stand against Donald Trump. Having those staffers out of the way may help Bezos' reported overall strategy to restore ideological balance to his newspaper.

Vice President Kamala Harris pivoted to a message of unity in her closing argument to the nation on Tuesday night, after having spent the last weeks of her campaign insisting that her opponent is a fascist whose election poses an existential threat to the future of the nation.
Addressing a crowd of supporters from the Ellipse in downtown Washington, D.C. — the same spot where Trump, on January 6, 2021, infamously urged his followers to march on the Capitol — Harris cited the Capitol riot as the primary example of her opponent’s unfitness for office. “Look, we know who Donald Trump is.
The Left Is Now a Joke

The Democrats have coalesced around a closing message, and it's not just that Donald Trump and half the country are Nazis itching to round up women and force them to bear blond children as their husbands, boyfriends, and boyfriend's boyfriend are carted off to the gas chambers; they have another message they want you to hear: Trump's supporters make unfunny jokes.
That's right. A so-so joke is going to put Kamala Harris over the top. The Democrats and the left went INSANE over this joke, and are using it as a wedge issue, claiming it proves what we already know: Trump is Hitler.

J. D. Vance to Appear on Rogan Podcast

after Host Rejects Kamala Interview over
Campaign Demands 9 replies
J.D. Vance, former president Donald Trump’s running mate, will sit down for an interview with Joe Rogan on Wednesday after the podcast host rejected a potential interview with Vice President Kamala Harris due to her campaign’s demands.
The Harris campaign insisted that the podcaster travel to her and limit the interview to one hour. After the news of Harris’s terms broke, the Trump campaign jumped on the opportunity to get Vance on the podcast and agreed to have the episode taped at Rogan’s studio in Austin. A Vance spokesperson confirmed the episode will be taped on Wednesday. It will be released later this week.
Is this panic ... or is it overconfidence? Assuming it's real, of course, it might be either.
Until one looks at the polls, that is.
Over at our sister site Twitchy, Sam J flags some developing news out of North Carolina, where the presidential race appeared close a few weeks ago. Now it appears that Team Kamala has pulled advertising in the entire state over the last week of the election, presumably in connection with Harris' "closing argument" today on the National Mall: If true, it's a strange decision. The Harris campaign has raised more cash
I don't know what the vote counts will be, whether they will be mostly accurate, what shenanigans might take place or not, or whether the obvious preference cascade will carry Trump over the top next week.
But one thing I do know for certain is that if Donald Trump wins, the violence and rioting will be off the charts.
The mainstream media and the Democrats like to memory-hole the fact that rioting was significant after Trump's 2016 victory, and that was well before the "Trump is Hitler" narrative began being sold to us. In those days, he was a sexually harassing buffoon with a bit of Russian agent thrown in.
The House Judiciary Committee is examining a new whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.
An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.
The whistleblower disclosure said that two female FBI undercover agents successfully infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honey pots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.
Give the man some credit. He could have stayed on his yacht and just ignored the whiners in the Post newsroom who are still unhappy about his decision not to allow the paper to run a Kamala Harris endorsement. Instead, he took the bull by the horns and his employees know they are living in a dream world, one in which people trust the pronouncements of journalists.
We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement. Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality,
It's not many Democrats saying it out loud, but at least a few are standing up to the bullies in their party who are demonizing Republicans as literal Nazis.
The level of rhetoric is off the charts, coming from the party that claims to want to unify the country. Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin are walking the earth again, spewing hatred and plotting to murder people, ban interracial marriage, and build concentration camps. Many Democrats and media figures think this is perfectly normal because, well, Donald Trump criticizes murderers, rapists, and Venezuelan gangs. He makes policy proposals that vast majorities of the American people approve of, like deporting
So much for Iran's encirclement strategy in the Middle East, if these reports turn out to be accurate. Not only did Iran lose much of its advanced air defenses in the Israeli strike over the weekend, their forward proxy army may collapse soon as its terror troops head for Syria. Arabic media report mass Hezbollah desertions in the face of a determined IDF ground campaign, and nearly no effective communications between command and field units:
After over a year of launching aerial attacks against northern Israel, Hezbollah has reportedly begun to crack as the Iran-backed terror group has experienced a wave of desertions, sources told the Arabic
Over 200 American outlets under USA Today parent company Gannett will not back candidates “in presidential or national races,” according to USA Today. “None of the USA TODAY Network publications are endorsing in presidential or national races,” a spokesperson for USA Today, Lark-Marie Antón, said in an email to The Hill on Monday.
On its website, Gannett describes the USA Today Network as “the largest local-to-national publishing and digital media organization in the country,” with “USA TODAY, our national flagship brand … at the center of the network, surrounded by hundreds of local media properties reporting on the stories and cultural moments happening in our communities.”

WASHINGTON - A Washington state ballot box used to collect early votes ahead of the Nov. 5 U.S. election was engulfed in flames on Monday in a suspected arson, which the FBI is now investigating, local police said.
Footage from local news outlet KATU shows smoke pouring out of a Vancouver, Washington, ballot box with multiple ballots appearing to be in flames. The box had not been emptied since 8 a.m. (1200 GMT) on Sunday local time and hundreds of ballots were destroyed, the station said, citing local officials.

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy.
“I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson.
Resistance groups, according to the Journal’s Joshua Chaffin and Valerie Bauerlein, believe citizens should be “bracing for unrest” if Trump wins:

Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell surprised CNN’s Jake Tapper by insisting that former President Trump has shared plans to put people into internment camps if he’s re-elected. Dingell was asked by "The Lead" host on Monday how she felt about various Arab American Michigan voters protesting President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, while other Muslim leaders recently endorsed Trump at a rally.
Although she acknowledged the Muslim and Arab American community is not a monolithic voting bloc, Dingell argued they need to be told Trump would only be harmful to them.

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has reportedly told the newspaper that it needs to add more conservative columnists in a bid to make the paper more balanced.
The directive comes as the paper has lost more than hundreds of thousands of subscribers over the last several days after Bezos killed the Editorial Board’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
NPR reported that by midday on Monday, more than 200,000 people canceled their subscriptions, more than 8% of the company’s total number of subscribers.

The long political career of Mitch McConnell (R – KY) is winding down in the same manner as previous RINO Senators such as John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, etc – with betrayal, vendettas, and a repudiation of the conservative base. McConnell, the current Senate Republican Leader is actively trying to defeat incumbent Senate conservatives who are running for re-election, and he is making it clear that his role in his final two years in Congress will be to align with Democrats to thwart President Trump should Trump be elected to a second term.
Vice President Kamala Harris said she would take a cognitive test in response to former president Donald Trump’s insults about her low intelligence, challenging her opponent to do the same.
Harris responded to Trump’s Friday remarks in a nearly three-hour interview with podcast king Joe Rogan, in which the GOP nominee called Harris “a very low IQ person” and said she needs to take a cognitive test.
“Sure, I would challenge him to take the same one,” Harris said when asked by CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell over the weekend whether she’d take a cognitive test.
“This is what he has resorted to,

Disaster Area Block Emergency Early Voting Locations 23 replies
The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.
Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting. Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.
“Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,
MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked fierce outrage after hurling insults against Latinos in a series of purported jokes during his opener at the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden Sunday.

He added: “It’s wild and these Latinos love making babies too, just know that — they don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country. Republicans are the party with a good sense of Hinchcliffe, 40, cackled after taking the swipe,

GRAHAM "Dingo" Dinkelman was a renowned South African wildlife conservationist, snake handler and broadcaster. The popular YouTuber tragically passed away on October 28, 2024, following a month-long battle in hospital.

Nothing says joy like an abortion, am I right? If you cringed reading that, take it up with Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Friday, just 11 days from the election, the Democratic presidential nominee campaigned in Houston in part to boost the Democrat running for the Senate. But she wasn't here only for a Senate race.By talking about abortion and basking in the fame of a celebrity or two, Harris tried to make an example of Texas while peddling a false narrative about joy and freedom to women.
I hope women see through this charade.
