Michelle Beadle Counted Out of ‘NBA Countdown’

Michelle Beadle will no longer anchor ABC/ESPN’s NBA Countdown and may be out of job entirely on the self-named Worldwide Leader in Sports. As a formerly rising TV star in the sports industry, Beadle is now a three-time loser. She failed as a host on the NBC Sports Network, was essentially told to get lost as host of ESPN’s Get Up, and now she is done on Countdown. This is one case, however, of where someone who got woke doesn’t go broke. She may even collect her massive $5 million annual salary for another year perhaps for just sitting on the couch. read more

#MeToo Allegation about Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax Surfaces

What’s happening in Democrat politics in the Old Dominion state seems to be giving a new definition to the slogan “Virginia is for lovers.” Gov. Ralph Northam is immersed in scandal over a racist yearbook page. Justin Fairfax, the state’s lieutenant governor, who this weekend seemed headed for the top job as a result, is now denying a sexual assault allegation. The Big League Politics website broke both of these stories. The Washington Post, which unhesitatingly published uncorroborated allegations about Brett Kavanaugh, previously looked into but declined to run the Fairfax story, however. The Post and Fairfax seem partially at odds over an analysis of the incident, however. read more

Alyssa Milano and Debra Messing Disavow Women’s March

Credit where credit is due: ultra-liberal actress, strident Trump foe, and #MeToo activist Alyssa Milano, who somehow got a prime seat at the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, has disavowed the Women’s March over its association with anti-Semitism.

From The Advocate:
“Any time that there is any bigotry or anti-Semitism in that respect, it needs to be called out and addressed. I’m disappointed in the leadership of the Women’s March that they haven’t done it adequately,’ Milano says now, referring to leaders of the Women’s March who’ve refused to denounce Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic, homophobic, and transphobic statements…

“Milano has noticed the silence from the Women’s March regarding Farrakhan’s hatemongering and won’t stand for it; nor will she speak at the next Women’s March if it’s still led by [Linda] Sarsour or [Tamika] Mallory, if asked to make an appearance.

Alyssa Milano says she will not speak at the next Women's March as long as Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory remain a part of the leadership and refuse to condemn Louis Farrakhan's anti-semitism. https://t.co/GvrrZ5fyPy read more

Megyn Kelly Weighs In on Brett Kavanaugh Amidst Reports That She is ‘Taking Down’ NBC

A year into her job as the host of Megyn Kelly Today, most media outlets have perhaps unfairly stopped triumphantly reporting about the lackluster ratings that Megyn Kelly is apparently still drawing for the 9 a.m. Eastern slot for the NBC NewsToday show franchise.

Kelly’s primary challenge is and continues to be that the ex-corporate lawyer fundamentally lacks a television constituency. Liberals among the audience, on social media, and the majority of  journalists who work as TV critics simply won’t accept her on the NBC daytime platform. More conservative viewers haven’t forgiven her for turning FNC’s Kelly File into an anti-Trump and Never Trump forum.

Whether you like him or not, Donald Trump has exposed many mainstream media pundits as shamelessly opportunistic at best in terms of seeking their next payday.  For instance,  you’ve probably noticed that quite a few high-profile talking heads completely changed their ideology when they switched networks, which sometimes means literally just walking across the street. It’s kind of like the so-called baby-face-to-heel turn in the kayfabe world of professional wrestling.

Megyn Kelly was expected to follow suit as she tried to fit in to the NBC liberal culture in the process of becoming a daytime diva.

When Megyn Kelly Today show debuted, the host insisted that it would be a politics-free zone. She did, however, quickly jump on the #MeToo bandwagon as a way to stabilize her ratings.

“The Democrats should be happy that this is not a trial because if it were, she would likely lose…This would be a nightmare criminal trial, but that’s not what this is.” –@megynkelly #KavanaughHearings pic.twitter.com/9mqQfYPcty read more

Keith Ellison Gets ‘Loomered’ at Campaign Event

Congressman Keith Ellison, the Minnesota Democrat, was “loomered” at a Democratic party picnic on Saturday by intrepid conservative journalist Laura Loomer, who has become known for using the left’s traditional street-theater tactics against the left itself.

Ellison, who is running for attorney general of the state despite apparently lacking an active law license, stands accused of domestic violence.

He abruptly left the event without answering Loomer’s questions after she confronted him. Ellison is also an influential official in the Democratic National Committee, currently serving as deputy chair.

Will Minnesota voters actually elect this individual as the state’s chief law enforcement officer in November or is it #TimesUp for Keith Ellison?

Added: Laura Loomer did her thing during Twitter boss Jack Dorsey’s congressional hearing yesterday, similar to what the leftists tried to do during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. U.S. Rep. Billy Long wasn’t having it and did his Storage Wars routine.

Like her or hate her, Laura Loomer has absolutely nothing to do with the alt-right. The more important question is whether the lame GOP will let Twitter and Facebook and other Big Tech platforms off the hook despite engaging in censorship.
