Bee: Andrew Jackson Was a ‘Genocidal Prick’ ‘Like Trump'

On the April 25 episode of TBS’ Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, the crass liberal comedienne continued her familiar routine of bashing conservatives with vulgar language and gross sexual jokes. Talking about the supposed conservative “backlash” for Harriet Tubman replacing Andrew Jackson on the twenty-dollar bill, Bee fumed: “He was not a founding father, he was a genocidal prick!”

AP Reporter Outraged by State Dept. Spox's Claim About Troops in Syria

State Department spokesman John Kirby did a fist-pounding imitation of Baghdad Bob at a press conference today on the Obama administration's decision "to send 250 more troops to Syria." Note that the Associated Press report by Kathleen Hennessey linked in the first paragraph refers to "troops," not "advisers" or "trainers." This is important, because that AP report acknowledges that in…

TBS’s ‘The Detour’: Christian Explorers Were Rapists and Murderers

TBS’s new comedy, The Detour, swerved into the Spanish Empire’s colonization of Mexico on Monday night’s episode, titled ‘The Restaurant.’ After much debate, the road-tripping family of modern-day progressives, led by father Nate (Jason Jones) and mother Robin (Natalie Zea), decide to pull over and feast at a culturally insensitive theme restaurant called ‘Conquistadors.’

Even ABC News Laughs at Senator's Embarrassing Intro for Hillary

"She works hard for the money!" Got that? And if you don't, Senator Tom Carper of Delaware repeats it over and over again in reference to Hillary Clinton who he introducing at a rally. To make it even worse Carper, lacking all sense of self awareness, even tries to get the audience whom he condescendingly treats like simpletons to chant the same line. Carper's performance was so embarrassing…

Van Jones Hilariously Mocks Maher's Dubious Praise for Jimmy Carter

Obama Takes Credit For 'Saving World Economy From a Great Depression'

If what Barack Obama contended in London, England on Saturday was obviously true, I suspect that the establishment press would be broadly proclaiming it and looking back at the President's wonderful work. What Obama is claiming — that his presidency is responsible for "saving the world economy from a Great Depression" — is nonsense, but he's clearly beginning to lobby for it to become the…

WashPost Boasts Lefty CNN Comedian Is ‘Easygoing’ in Obsessive KKK Bit

Reviewing the premiere of liberal CNN comedian W. Kamau Bell’s new show United Shades of America in Monday’s Washington Post, critic Stephanie Merry gushed over Bell’s consistent behavior as “[a] teddy bear of a guy” who’s “relentlessly easygoing” with the first episode being dedicated to hanging out with the Ku Klux Klan (since, of course, they’re supposedly “the core” of the Republican Party).

According to an actual participant in Good Morning America’s town hall with Ted Cruz last week, the participants were selected based on an apparent dislike of the conservative Republican. In contrast to the fawning town hall with Hillary Clinton, Cruz faced mostly hostile, tough questions.

CNN: Why Didn't Sanders Say Lewinsky 'Has No Place' in Campaign?

Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia blasted Bernie Sanders supporter Rosario Dawson on Monday's CNN Newsroom for referencing Monica Lewinsky at a recent campaign event for the Vermont socialist: "I think it was stupid.

'50 Shades of Grey' Director Not the Person to Make a Kennedy Movie?

According in a quote on Deadline Hollywood, producer Mark Ciardi said of Jason Clarke, who will be playing Ted Kennedy: “Jason Clarke is the perfect choice to take on the complexities of this role.”

WashPost Editor: Obama's 'Neared His Goal' of Being a Liberal Reagan

In a sure sign Obama is a lame duck, Sunday’s Washington Post carried a gushy article by assistant managing editor David Maraniss. The subhead was  “Obama set out to be a leader of consequence; From the Affordable Care Act to the opening of relations with Cuba, Obama will leave behind a legacy of liberal achievement.” In a 2,863-word article that's overblown in length and historical scope,…
