Regretful Biden Really Wishes Obama Had Given Tax Cuts, Basically Concedes Trump’s Right

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden says he wanted to cut taxes for the middle class during the final years in the White House in order to give Americans tangible proof of the Obama administration’s accomplishments.

“We had the big debate about what our focus should be on the economy in the last two years,” Biden said in an interview on Pod Save America, a podcast hosted by four Obama administration alumni. “The president let me come in with my team to make a presentation that we should have a middle class tax cut. The economists came in and said, ‘well, that’s not going to stimulate the economy.’”

Biden said that he and his advisers debated with other economists for two days in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, but in the end the administration declined to push for tax cuts. “What I was trying to do was actually demonstrate tangibly that we’re listening,” Biden said.

The conversation was sparked by what former President Barack Obama should have done in the last years of his administration to prove that his economic policies were working for the American people.

“I wish we could have done again going back as I wish we had let people know simultaneously ‘this is what we’re doing. By the way the reason why you are bum-bum-bum this is why. The reason why this job came back is because of — this is what we did the reason,’” Biden said.

‘South Park’ Creators Stun Liberal Group While Receiving Award – the Crowd Hated This

/0 Comments/in , /by

“South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker finally came out of the closet to confess that they are secretly… Republicans!

Stone and Parker made the admission to radio host Larry Elder after receiving a “freedom award” from the People for the American Way Foundation, a liberal group founded by TV producer Norman Lear. Elder shared the bombshell revelation on Twitter.

Elder recounted: “Trey Parker & Matt Stone of @SouthPark asked me to introduce them when they received a ‘freedom’ award from Norman Lear’s organization. After they graciously accepted, they said, ‘We’re Republicans.’ Nervous laughter. They repeated, ‘No, seriously, we’re Republicans.’”

On its website, the People of the Way Foundation calls itself a “progressive advocacy organization founded to fight right-wing extremism.” The group is virulently anti-Republican and anti-Trump, and it’s unclear why exactly it honored Stone and Parker.

Suffice it to say that “South Park” has been an equal-opportunity offender over the years, taking brutal jabs at liberals, conservatives, political correctness, and identity politics. No one is spared, and that’s perhaps a major reason why the cartoon sitcom has been a runaway success since its debut in 1997.

SEE IT: Jim Carrey Paints Gruesome Death of Trump Sons

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. On Tuesday, troubled Hollywood actor and comedian Jim Carrey posted a painting to social media depicting the two eldest Trump sons, Don Jr. and Eric, being gruesomely murdered by an elephant.

In the painting, Don Jr. has a bloody elephant tusk rammed through his stomach and Eric, a bloody tusk through the heart. The men are shown with their hunting rifles, seemingly a slight at the sons’ big-game hunting hobby. Carrey, for good measure, added a #TeamElephant caption to the post.

This is not the first time Carrey has gone after members of Team Trump. Earlier this month, the actor painted Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who’s only the third female to ever serve as White House Press Secretary, with a caption calling her faith into question.

“This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!,” wrote Carrey.

Dad Crashes Daughter’s Marriage Proposal in Epic Fashion: ‘SAY NO’

/1 Comment/in , /by

When you imagine the day your boyfriend of two years asks you that one special question that will change your life forever, you probably don’t envision your dad in the distance holding a sign that reads, “SAY NO.”

But this is exactly what happened to Nevada woman Allison Barron.

Her father Jake Barron crashed her marriage proposal from boyfriend Levi Bliss on Saturday in epic fashion. As Bliss was down on one knee and asking her to be his, Allison caught a glimpse of her father standing atop a nearby hill with the hilarious sign. Allison said she immediately burst into laughter, as did Levi.

Though Mr. Barron is close to Levi and approved of the young man for his daughter, as disclosed to BuzzFeed News by Allison, his humorous stunt captures what I’d imagine every father might be feeling on some level the day his daughter gets engaged. Thus, the image was widely relatable and instantly went viral.

I said YES! 💍 Future Mrs. Bliss ❤️

A post shared by Allison Barron (@ab_13) on

“This is really just my dad’s personality,” Allison assured BuzzFeed. “We have a very close family and so he’s made little jokes like this before.” (Read more from “Dad Crashes Daughter’s Marriage Proposal in Epic Fashion: ‘SAY NO'” HERE)

SICK: ‘Crazed Girls’ Are Flooding the Parkland Shooter With Fan Mail

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. The Parkland, Florida mass shooter is receiving “stacks of fan mail and love letters” from “crazed girls,” grown women and “even some men,” the Florida Sun-Sentinel reports, and has now received hundreds of dollars in unsolicited contributions to help fund his prison needs.

Even creepier than the mere fact that the shooter is receiving fan mail is, apparently, the letters’ contents. Deputies at the Broward County jail, where the shooter is being held pending trial, report that he receives “cute greeting cards,” “notes of friendship and encouragement,” and plenty of lewd photos.

Some of the letters are part of coordinated letter-writing campaigns, organized on “groupie” Facebook pages dedicated to the shooter, which also sell bracelets and t-shirts members can wear to express their public support.

“I’m 18-years-old. I’m a senior in high school. When I saw your picture on the television, something attracted me to you,” read one of the letters, according to the Sun-Sentinel, which was allowed to view select pieces of the shooter’s mail. “Your eyes are beautiful and the freckles on your face make you so handsome. …I’m really skinny and have 34C sized breasts.” (Read more from “SICK: ‘Crazed Girls’ Are Flooding the Parkland Shooter With Fan Mail” HERE)

A Federal Judge Deals a Blow to Stormy Daniels’ Lawsuit Against Trump – Here’s How

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. A federal judge in California dealt a blow to the lawsuit from adult film star Stormy Daniels against President Trump when he denied her lawyer’s request to repose the president and his lawyer, Michael Cohen . . .

Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti filed the motion in federal court on Wednesday to depose the president and his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen.

Daniels is claiming that she was compelled to sign a non-disclosure agreement about their extramarital affair but that it was not a legal contract because Trump didn’t sign it.

Avenatti had tweeted that he was confident the motion would be approved:

Judge Denies Motion by Stormy Daniels’ Attorney to Depose Trump, Cohen

By CNN. federal judge in California put a temporary stop Thursday to efforts by Stormy Daniels’ attorney to depose President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen over a $130,000 payout from Cohen to the porn star before the 2016 election.

Judge S. James Otero of the US District Court for the Central District of California denied the motion for an expedited trial and discovery process, saying Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, was “premature” in making the motion because Trump and Essential Consultants LLC, the company established by Cohen to pay Daniels the $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged affair between her and Trump, have not yet filed a petition to compel arbitration, which they have stated they’re going to do.

In his decision, Otero admonished the parties, writing that “instant litigation is not the most important matter on the court’s docket.” He also vacated a hearing date previously set for April 30. (Read more from “Judge Denies Motion by Stormy Daniels’ Attorney to Depose Trump, Cohen” HERE)

‘Roseanne’ Reboot Sprang From ABC’s Heartland Strategy After Trump’s Victory

By New York Times. On the morning after the 2016 election, a group of nearly a dozen ABC executives gathered at their Burbank, Calif., headquarters to determine what Donald J. Trump’s victory meant for the network’s future . . .

They began asking themselves which audiences they were not serving well and what they could do to better live up to the company name — the American Broadcasting Company. By the meeting’s end, they had in place the beginnings of a revised strategy that led the network to reboot a past hit centered on a struggling Midwestern family, a show that had a chance to appeal to the voters who had helped put Mr. Trump in the White House.

On Tuesday night, the strategy proved more successful than the executives had hoped: “Roseanne” premiered to the highest ratings for any network sitcom in almost four years. (Read more from “‘Roseanne’ Reboot Sprang From ABC’s Heartland Strategy After Trump’s Victory’ HERE)

By Noelle Gardner. A high school student was suspended and arrested after posting an image of a toy gun on social media.

Zach Cassidento, a high school senior at Amity High Regional School was suspended and arrested as a juvenile after he posted a picture of a toy gun, or what’s called an “airsoft gun,” on Snapchat.

Zach said, “I didn’t want to put any words and someone misinterpret it as a threat so I figured I posted this picture on my own time, on my property.”

The words “have a nice day” with a happy face is part of the gun’s design. The senior told News 8 his hobby is playing with toy guns and he thought posting the picture was harmless.

Zach added, “I took a picture. It was about half way up the barrel of the gun. It showed the trigger. It showed the magazine. And it cut off just by the stock. It also showed the chamber open with no bullet in there and the warning sticker stating that it is a toy gun.” (Read more from “High School Senior Suspended After Posting Picture of Airsoft Gun on Social Media” HERE)

Reporter Claims Pope Said ‘Hell Doesn’t Exist’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By WND. Pope Francis is once again under a global spotlight for reported comments to a journalist that conflict with 2,000-year-old Roman Catholic doctrine.

This time, veteran Italian journalist Eugenio Scalfari, an atheist, is reporting the pope declared “hell doesn’t exist, the disappearance of the souls of sinners exists.”

The Vatican immediately issued a statement claiming that what is reported in an article Thursday on the website of the Italian leftist newspaper La Repubblica is the author’s own “reconstruction” of the pope’s words, reported the Catholic News Agency.

The Holy See said Scalfari, 93, had a “private meeting for the occasion of Easter, however without giving him any interview.”

“What is reported by the author in today’s article is the result of his reconstruction, in which the literal words pronounced by the Pope are not quoted,” the Vatican statement said. “No quotation of the aforementioned article must therefore be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the Holy Father.” (Read more from “Reporter Claims Pope Said ‘Hell Doesn’t Exist'” HERE)

Does Hell Exist? Pope Says No in Recent Interview

By Newsweek. Catholic Pope Francis made a startling revelation Thursday by stating that hell did not exist, in an interview with a leading liberal Italian newspaper.

In an article titled “It Is an Honor to Be Called a Revolutionary,” La Repubblica founder Eugenio Scalfari acknowledged the pontiff’s previous remarks about how “good souls” who sought repentance from God would receive it and then asked, “What about the bad souls?” Seemingly going against centuries of core Christian belief, Pope Francis said the souls of sinners simply vanished after death and were not subject to an eternity of punishment.

“They are not punished, those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and enter the rank of souls who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear,” Pope Francis said, as translated by Catholic blog Rorate Caeli.

“There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls,” he added. (Read more from “Does Hell Exist? Pope Says No in Recent Interview” HERE)
