CNN Staffers Revolt Due to Inability to
Tolerate Scott Jennings

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 2/1/2026 1:02:15 PM

Few things better exemplify the inability of the left to tolerate contrary viewpoints than the recent struggle session framed as an "Internal Town Hall" when CNN CEO Mark Thompson was confronted by leftist staffers who claimed they were offended by the existence on their network of conservative commentator Scott Jennings. It seems they agreed with recent NewsNight guest Cameron Kasky, who arrogantly declared to Jennings that he was somehow not permitted to use the term "illegal alien" despite the fact it is a legal term written into immigration law. The left-leaning Daily Beast went into further detail about the CNN town hall/struggle session/confrontation on Friday

There’s a workable alternative here, which is that CNN simply fires all the staffers who arrogantly demand Jennings be let go. Problem solved!

I suspect the idiot staffers did not know who Jefferson Davis was since all democrats seem to be making the same arguments and following the same tactics of the Confederacy. See this is what happens when you are ill educated and live in a bubble as do all these CNN morons.

If the staffers were capable of making persuasive arguments to challenge Jennings, they would. Their problem is that Jennings knows what he's talking about and has a relaxed and confident way of challenging their arguments. It seems odd that one guy presents such a threat to trained professionals, that they're calling for HIS removal. Real debates take preparation. It's not the fault of conservatives that the left has gotten away with suppressing views they don't like, and are struggling to deal with better prepared opponents like Jennings.

Dear SkyDance, If you want to reduce the asking price of CNN, Hear is some advice. Hire Scott Jennings for another gig somewhere. Then sit back and watch CNN's value drop. Then put him back at the network along with a couple of other like minded, levelheaded, honest people. Looking forward to the carnage.

Those CNN staffers are facist virture signallers who, for some inexplicable reason, fail to recognize they' re imposing the very fascism they say they are 'resisting'. Their heads are full of ideology and they will always seek to fit the 'facts' their stories are about to the narrative they forever preach.

I can sympathize. It's tough to associate with someone who can run intellectual rings around you and ends up making you prove yourself a fool because "because I say so" is not a rational argument. Since Trump was reelected, the Left has collapsed into blatantly obvious absurdity. Since no one likes to be seen as absurd and Jennings spotlights their natural absurdity, they hate him for it.

Scott should lodge a complaint with CNN stating that he is offended by the leftist staffers. CNN should tell the leftist staffers to resign and start their own news network or STHL.

Trump signs bill to end government shutdown

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed into law a massive funding package to end the brief government shutdown that began Saturday. The bill passed the House earlier Tuesday on a vote of 217-214, after passing the Senate last week. The legislation will ensure full-year funding for the federal government through the end of September, with the lone exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which is put on a two-week leash as Democrats insist on changes after federal agents fatally shot two Americans in Minneapolis.

The new ASPS guidance acknowledges that there is insufficient evidence to prove that irreversible gender-related surgical interventions have longterm benefits for adolescents and therefore recommends that surgeons delay

A U.S. fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone as it approached the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea on Tuesday, according to a statement from U.S. Central Command. Earlier in the day, a Navy destroyer came to the assistance of a U.S.-flagged tanker that was harassed by multiple Iranian small boats as it transited the Strait of Hormuz. The drone was shot down by a Navy F-35C fighter jet from the carrier as it "aggressively approached" the Lincoln with "unclear intent," Central Command said.

Police Chief Jim McDonnell made clear that the Los Angeles Police Department will not enforce California’s mask ban for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The ban, titled the “No Secret Police Act,” went into effect at the beginning of 2026. ABC 7 quoted McDonnell saying, “The reality of one armed agency approaching another armed agency to create conflict over something that would be a misdemeanor at best, or an infraction, it doesn’t make any sense.” Los Angeles Magazine noted that McDonnell made clear that while not enforcing the mask ban, the LAPD will continue its practice of not cooperating with ICE on immigration enforcement:

There are reports this week that Cuba is now talking to the Trump administration about the future of the country. Despite those reports, Cuba seems to be publicly denying the talks are even happening. What's going on here? Here's President Trump yesterday saying "we're talking to the people from Cuba." There are reports today indicating Cuba has changed its tone toward the US compared to just a few days ago. Here's the Miami Herald: The Cuban government has exchanged its fierce rhetoric and vows to resist President Donald Trump’s “threats” for a more conciliatory offer to renew cooperation on security matters and maintain a “respectful dialogue” amid increasing diplomatic

Rack 'em up before the Supreme Court cuts the legs out from under Donald Trump's tariff leverage. One has to wonder whether the justices may be waiting for a few more trade agreements to come in line before publishing their ruling on Trump's authority under the IEEPA. Or, perhaps, delaying it just in case Trump can use it to end the war in Ukraine. Trump offered that as a potential outcome from a new trade agreement reached with India today. The agreement will limit reciprocal tariffs to 18% and commits India to invest $500 billion in the US. Most importantly, Trump claims that India

I was so surprised by this poll that I had to look into the pollster who put it out just to be certain that it wasn't some fly-by-night propaganda outlet. It isn't. Several sites rate Cygnal Polling as having a slight liberal bias in their results, but as a high-factuality pollster that focuses mostly on private clients. And the results are so lopsided that they would have had to stack the deck by a huge margin to get the results that they did. And the results are BRUTAL for Democrats, although they also tell us something about the Democrat strategy for the midterms.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he has decided to halt entertainment operations as "the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of success, beauty, and grandeur," with a planned grand reopening he said would surpass any previous iteration of the venue. According to Trump, the center will close on July 4, 2026, coinciding with the nation’s 250th anniversary, at which point construction will begin on what he described as a "new and spectacular entertainment complex."

This is the latest in a string of violent incidents involving large groups of bicyclists, popularly known as “ride outs”, a rapidly growing trend where large, often informal groups of cyclists -- from dozens to thousands -- gather to ride through city streets.

Organizations including the Chinese-American Planning Council and the Chinese Progressive Association — both of which have ties to the Chinese Communist Party’s overseas influence network — are among the signatories urging Congress to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol. Those groups joined more than 1,000 organizations in a coordinated letter demanding that lawmakers halt all funding for federal immigration enforcement agencies, a move that would effectively eliminate interior enforcement and deportation operations nationwide. The letter, organized by Amnesty International USA, does not call for reforms or oversight but for the removal of enforcement capacity itself.
