Joy Behar really has Issues

For months the cohost of The View has made some of the dumbest comments ever. Her latest only solidifies just how mental she really is. I seriously do not mean that in any derogatory way to people with mental illnesses.

She seriously has mental issues. She says and apparently believes the alternate reality that she lives in.

At some point the bosses at the network will have to get her help and remove her from tv. It’s just a shame. I remember when the show was actually a fun and entertaining show. That has been many years ago.

CNN and the National Enquirer

CNN long ago lost it's reputation of being an actual news source.  If you have to ask what happened you obviously don't pay much attention to them and the stupidity of their so called news. 

Today for fun I decided to pull up their website and almost fell out of my chair laughing so hard at what they have plastered all over the main page. 

"Reports: National Enquirer paid to kill a Trump rumor" the number 1 big story of the moment for CNN.  Seriously?  With all the real news out there and this is your number one big story.  Your must read for people is that the National Enquirer allegedly paid the doorman $30,000 to keep quiet about Trump's sex life?  I am laughing hysterically again as I type this. 

I guess they really do consider this news!  I decided to look at it deeper and the next story is a poll that CNN did.  "Most think National Enquirer is covering for Trump".  What?  Who the hell is the most people?  I follow the news and politics pretty close and if they called me I wouldn't even know what the hell they are talking about.  Yet according to their poll 56% of Americans believe that the supermarket tabloid has paid for stories to keep them unpublished. 

OK.  BRB.  I have to do a completely unscientific poll here.  Give me an hour.

I'm back.  I work with about 90% Democrats so this poll is quite skewed one way.  But I went and asked 24 people here 3 questions to see how it would turn out.  For easy math and because this isn't a scientific poll I'm going to just round the number to 25 so the % is easy. 

Question 1 - What do you know about the connection with Trump and the National Enquirer
88% Didn't know about a connection with Trump and the Enquirer

Question 2 - Do you think the Enquirer is covering for Trump?
60% wouldn't be surprised by it.

Well I will be damned.  The CNN Poll is right with my non scientific poll.  If I ask a vast majority of left leaning Democrats if they think the National Enquirer is covering for Trump, 60% wouldn't be surprised by it.  Even though 88% of them hadn't heard about any connection. 

CNN might be onto something here.  It is all in who and how you ask to get the results you want to make the headline work.

Nice work CNN, I stand corrected you truly are a real News Outlet.

Sorry I am once again laughing hysterically. :)

The FBI and DOJ Double Standard

I have sat and watched the Clinton Email Scandal play out.  The so called investigation in which there was no special council and plenty of questionable things.  I don't think that there is a reasonable person in the United States that doesn't think that what Clinton did with the email server was quite questionable if not down right illegal.  We haven't even discussed the actions taken after the investigation began with destroying the servers and phones and such.  Yet there was no special prosecutor and the matter was decided by the then FBI Director James Comey.

Many of the people involved were found to have lied or destroyed evidence and yet nobody was ever charged.  As a matter of fact many were given immunity.

Why wasn't a special prosecutor assigned to this?

To answer that question all you have to do is look at the Mueller investigation.  Could you possibly imagine what we would have found out if an investigation began into the Clintons with an open see where the investigation takes you attitude.  Can you guess how many people in power would have been charged with some form of crime.

I have never liked the way the Special Prosecutor works.  How they start with something that is very big and end up with these silly low level charges that cost the American People millions of dollars and had nothing to do with anything that started the investigation.  The way it seems to work right now is that your neighbor says, "hey I think my neighbor is up to something and it may be terrorism".  They open an investigation, raid your home, pull all your information, question everyone you know and say we think you may be involved.  You spend thousands on lawyers to defend you, they keep coming for months, trashing your name and costing you thousands.  Then in the end they charge you with not paying the right amount on your taxes.  They went through your whole life and ruined your reputation, bankrupted you and charged you with something that had nothing to do with why they were investigating.

That is the America we now live in.

They pick and chose.  With Clinton it was handled with kid gloves and they got away with a lot.  With Trump it started as Trump working with Russia to win an election.  It has boiled down to lying and Porn stars.  What a shame.  I can't wait to see the bill for this whole thing.

State Senator Lena Taylor Uses Racial Slur

Several news outlets have been reporting that State Senator Lena Taylor was cited with a disorderly conduct citation.  It is reported that Lena Taylor using a racial slur against a black teller who couldn’t cash a check for her due to insufficient funds.

Not that it comes as a big shocker, Lena Taylor has been anything but a leader for the State of Wisconsin during her time as a State Senator. She has tried to champion for the rights of minorities, but doesn’t act it in her personal life.

It appears the Milwaukee Police Department is trying to help her out by putting a hold on the citation. Imagine that.

Jimmy Kimmel Takes Shots at Immigrants and Gays

Jimmy Kimmel decided that he would use his fame and ABC TV show to take shots at Immigrants and the gay community. 

Wait, What?  Isn't Kimmel in support of the Immigrants and the LGBT Community?  Isn't he supposed to be a champion of their causes?

It would appear that he decided to not show that support when he made fun of the First Lady for her accent and then refer to another talk show host with a gay bashing post on twitter.

It never stops amazing me that how people have such blatant double standards.  They get all upset if one side does something and then when their side does the same thing they try to make like it is ok.  It is never ok.  Neither side.  Set the standard and stick to the standard.

Shame on Kimmel!
