    Will Ronan Farrow hang himself soon? –
    Ronan Farrow says twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton iced him out upon learning of his investigation into the accusations of sexual assault against Harvey Weinstein, noting how people will turn “if you threaten the centers of power or the sources of funding around them.”
    The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow told the Financial Times that Clinton slowly iced him out upon learning of his investigation into Weinstein, a Clinton ally and major Clinton Foundation donor. Weinstein also donated to groups that supported Clinton’s failed presidential bid.

    Just caught 5 minutes of Bloomberg on Firing Line.
    In just that small amount of time, he insisted openly that Xi “is not a dictator” and that he (XI) is ‘accountable’ to the Chinese people.
    Yeah – like the Uighurs.

    He also defended the Chinese govt increasing CO2 output as OK, because they are locating most of the new coal plants ‘away’ from the major cities. What?
    This guy is already ahead of Biden for lies and stupidity.

    Mr. Bessie….
    “Will Ronan Farrow hang himself soon? “. Probably or maybe they will blame two black guys wearing MEGA hats carrying a cheap noose and yelling something in the middle of the night under the one security camera that doesn’t work.
    Ronan is hunting for bear. It all goes back to his Daddy issues with Woody Allen…they way Woody treated his sister and Mom. Can’t blame the lad. He did blow it once on the short lived Kavanaugh Accuser Sequel, but nobody is perfect.
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ronan-farrow-says-bill-clinton-was-credibly-accused-of-rape-and-accusation-was-overdue-for-revisiting
    Farrow is biting the hand that feeds him. Talking on ABC or NBC? And the big donors of the Lefties. Bad, Ronan, bad.
    Remember that time in 2016 on the trail when Hillary had a interview in some aircraft hanger to speak about how woke she is on Defense and Matt Laurier asked her about some e-mails? Of, she blew her cork and as soon as the interview was over Hillary was yelling “get me the head on the network on the phone.” Now! She tried to get Matt fired….as well as Mika for saying the Clinton Campaign was not generating a lot of enthusiasm. Dull or something like that. Nobody can take down the Clintons. Nobody on Earth…..save one little novice and a Twitter Machine.
    The best thing about the Kavanaugh hearings was it blew the #MeToo movement right out of water. There are a lot of big Dem donors and donation bundlers out there in Libbieland that are breathing a big collective sigh of relief. Or did.
    Hey, better start writing Mr. Farrow’s obits right now.

That includes those leading the Democratic race, such as Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg.

    Bonus!! The cult of personality. I’m a zombie! A deplorable zoomie!
    POLL: MOST REPUBLICANS CONSIDER TRUMP A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN LINCOLN
    A new poll by YouGov asked who is the better president, Abraham Lincoln or Donald Trump. 53 percent of the Republicans polled selected Trump.
    “At Hot Air, Allahpundit, a frequent critic of President Trump, argues that there’s “less to this poll than meets the eye,” and that the poll isn’t really strong evidence of a Trump cult of personality. I don’t buy the argument. A result this absurd reeks of cult of personality.
    Trump himself understands what’s going on. He famously said:
    I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s like, incredible.
    Yes, it is. And Trump said this in early 2016, long before he took control of the Republican party. Today, the Trump cult of personality is much larger and, very likely, even more fervent.
    And potentially more dangerous.”

    The transcripts describe the following communication between Schiff and Reeker:
    Schiff: Let me ask you this way, ambassador [Reeker]: Would you agree that pressuring an ally to conduct political investigations that would be useful to a president’s reelection campaign by withholding a White House meeting or withholding military aid would be wrong?

    When being too connected can be a problem –
    Now even the FBI is warning about your smart TV’s security
    Zack Whittaker,TechCrunch 1 hour 8 minutes ago
    If you just bought a smart TV on Black Friday or plan to buy one for Cyber Monday tomorrow, the FBI wants you to know a few things.
    Smart TVs are like regular television sets but with an internet connection. With the advent and growth of Netflix, Hulu and other streaming services, most saw internet-connected televisions as a cord-cutter’s dream. But like anything that connects to the internet, it opens up smart TVs to security vulnerabilities and hackers. Not only that, many smart TVs come with a camera and a microphone. But as is the case with most other internet-connected devices, manufacturers often don’t put security as a priority.
    That’s the key takeaway from the FBI’s Portland field office, which just ahead of some of the biggest shopping days of the year posted a warning on its website about the risks that smart TVs pose.
    “Beyond the risk that your TV manufacturer and app developers may be listening and watching you, that television can also be a gateway for hackers to come into your home. A bad cyber actor may not be able to access your locked-down computer directly, but it is possible that your unsecured TV can give him or her an easy way in the backdoor through your router,” wrote the FBI.
    The FBI warned that hackers can take control of your unsecured smart TV and in worst cases, take control of the camera and microphone to watch and listen in.

Heck, powerful Dan Rostenkowski (D-Chicago) said Hillary was the smartest woman on the planet and he went to the Big House to be with all his buddies, including Jessie Jackson, Jr. Dan Rostenkowski should have gotten life for the humongous lie.

    “The crowd then began to chant in unison, “No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA!”
    Portland theater manager, Burt Simmons, emerged from the ticket counter to assure everybody that the film has nothing to do with Trump and that that movie would inspire a holiday spirit of peace if they would give it a chance.
    At publishing time, Burt was in grave condition at a local hospital.”

    This sends a tingle up my hair legs. Maybe some kids can caress them back in place.
    “2020 Democratic hopeful Joe Biden began an eight-day bus tour across Iowa, his campaign is calling it the “No Malarkey” bus tour. The term “no malarkey” is British slang for “no nonsense.”
    Young voters have recently coined the term “Ok, boomer,” mocking the Baby Boomer generation for their “old folk” lingo and political ideology. Biden’s “No Malarkey” bus tour is no exception to the “Ok, boomer” mockery. In fact, it has us wondering if the phrase should actually be “Ok, Biden.”
    But, the oddly named bus tour is just the most recent example of how Biden is alienating himself from young voters.
    A new Emerson Poll shows Biden has the lowest support of top-tier candidates among voters under 50. Bernie Sanders received 37 percent of the support, Elizabeth Warren received 22 percent, and Biden falls far behind at 15 percent.
    Another study from Politico finds only 10 percent of Biden’s base is aged 18-29. Meanwhile, other candidates have much more support among young people. 35 percent of Sanders supporters are aged 18-29, and Warren’s young base holds above at 15 percent.
    In Iowa, Biden only garnered 5 percent of support among those younger than 45. It’s no question, Biden has a massive problem with young people.
    ——
    His bus tour hasn’t done him any favors in generating new support among young voters. In fact, it may be doing the exact opposite. During a stop, Biden admitted Trump followed through on his campaign promises to help rural voters
    “Look at the promise that was made. Look what’s happening now. Iowa is growing, Iowa’s moving,” Biden said.
    Biden’s “no malarkey” tour may have more appeal to his baby boomer equals, but it is not an especially bright idea when Biden is polling at 5 percent among young Iowans. This really makes young Democratic voters roll their eyes and say, “Ok, Biden.”
