Samantha Bee losing advertisers as State Farm and Autotrader head for the exits
TBS has a problem.  Samantha Bee’s non-apology landed with a thud, the left is eagerly lining up to regurgitate or one-up her initial comment, and advertisers are taking notice of the controversy.  So far, at least two of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’s sponsors have dumped the show, while one has announced its intention to stay.

Report: Joy Reid’s NBC Colleagues ‘Fuming,’ ‘Embarrassed’ by Network Shrugging Off Scandal

A new report quotes MSNBC staffers who are upset with the network’s casual dismissal of Joy Reid’s growing pile of controversial writings — that management won’t come clean about the “joke” claim that the blog was hacked, that more and more topics are becoming too awkward for Reid to discuss, and that the channel’s credibility is taking a big hit.

From The Daily Beast:

The network‘s failure to address that dubious hacking claim has irked many inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Several employees who spoke to The Daily Beast—on condition of anonymity so as not to jeopardize their employment—said they were largely unimpressed with the statements, noting that many questions remain conspicuously unanswered.

“Everyone in the building is laughing at the idea that it was a hacker,” one MSNBC staffer told The Daily Beast.

“It’s just a joke,” said another employee.

While Reid is well-liked and respected by colleagues, said one staffer, they are waiting for Reid and MSNBC management to demonstrate a sense of accountability for her inconvenient past writing beyond boilerplate apologies. “It’s very problematic,” said an MSNBC insider.

Particularly, many LGBT staffers at the network expressed feeling insulted by how Reid seemingly suffered no consequences for her old homophobic blog posts or transphobic tweets.

Study: 100 Mexican Politicians Assassinated Since 2017

As next month’s elections in Mexico approach, a disturbing trend continues with the government’s inability to provide basic security for politicians as the number of those assassinated exceeds 100.

According to statistics compiled by Mexico City-based Etellekt and local media, there were 11 candidates murdered per month from September 8 to May 26, 2018. The updated report indicates that in the last three months, there were three attacks per day related to the electoral process nationwide.

The most recent attack not covered in this report involves the case of Rodrigo Salado, a PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) candidate for alderman in the municipality of San Marcos in Costa Chica de Guerrero, who was murdered by three gunmen who opened fire at the vehicle Salado was traveling in. They were able to flee and remain unidentified.

At least 103 politicians were murdered since the start of the electoral process (including pre-campaigns) and another 112 received threats. In 67 percent of the killings, the victims were attacked by gunmen who specifically targeted them. In 16 percent, victims were found with signs of torture or other methods of extreme violence. Roughly 83 percent of victims were executed with characteristics commonly associated with organized crime hits.

Between September 8, 2017, and May 26 of this year, there were 313 attacks against politicians (an average of three per day), and 44 attacks against family members with a total of 46 relatives murdered. Seventy-two percent of the attacks were directed at opposition politicians, mainly in the central and southern states of the country.

Preparation for the current election cycle began the first week of August 2017 with filing deadlines. The official start of the election process took place on September 8, 2017, with the publication of the electoral calendar.

The election will take place on July 1, 2018, when Mexico elects a new president, 128 senators, 500 federal deputies, and an additional 2,818 local authorities—the largest cumulative ballot in history.

The violence against political figures during the pre- and campaigns is attributed to an attempt by organized crime to influence the elections. In early May, it was reported locally that at least 1,000 federal and local hopefuls resigned their candidacies citing fears of violence.

At the end of 2017, Breitbart Texas reported the electoral process violence left nine politicians dead.

Whataburger Apologizes After Manager Refuses Service to Armed Detective

Whataburger apologized after a police detective entered a Friendswood, Texas, location Thursday and was denied service.

KTRK reports that the Friendswood Police Department detective entered the Whataburger in plain clothes, carrying his gun on his hip with “a badge clearly visible next to it.”

Police said the detective spoke to the store manager to explain that he was law enforcement “but the manager didn’t budge.” The detective left the restaurant without being served.

On Friday, Whatatburger addressed news:

This was an unfortunate misunderstanding of our open carry policy, and we’ve talked to the detective to make this right. He was understanding, accepted our apology and said he plans to come back to Whataburger. Our company policy allows law enforcement with proper identification to open carry at our restaurants, and we’ll be reinforcing this policy with employees through additional training. We’ve also been in contact with the Friendswood Police Officers Association. We want to make it clear that this detective and all law enforcement are welcome in our restaurants and we’re proud to serve them. 

On July 7, 2015–five months before a law allowing the open carry of handguns in Texas took effect–Breitbart News reported that Whataburger would prohibit the open carry of handguns in their stores. Whataburger President and CEO Preston Atkinson said his company “proudly [served] the gun rights community,” but that the open carry of a firearm by someone “who is not a member of law enforcement” was a step too far for customer comfort.

Job Growth for Foreign Workers Growing Twice as Fast as for Native Born Americans

Job growth for foreign born workers is growing more than twice as fast as it is for native born American citizens, newly released labor data reveals.

According to the May 2018 Jobs Report, employment for foreign born workers grew three percent over the last year. In the same time period, employment for native born Americans grew less than 1.5 percent.

Job growth for foreign born men also has continued growing faster than job growth for native born men. In the last year, employment for foreign born male workers has grown 2.7 percent, while employment for native born male workers has grown much slower, at 1.7 percent.

The latest report follows months of employment data showing that foreign born workers and immigrants continue to have advantages over native born Americans when it comes to their rapidly growing employment opportunities.

Most recently, Breitbart News reported that employment for foreign born workers grew about four times faster than native born Americans between April 2017 and 2018.

The foreign born population has continued to boom in the U.S. due to mass legal immigration, whereby more than 1.5 million immigrants are admitted to the country every year.

There are now about 44 million foreign born residents living in the U.S., with the majority coming from Mexico, as Breitbart News has reported. Legal and illegal immigrants now make up close to 14 percent of the entire U.S. population — roughly one out of every eight American residents.

Four million young Americans enter the workforce every year, but their job opportunities are further diminished as the U.S. imports roughly two new foreign workers for every four American workers who enter the workforce. Even though researchers say 30 percent of the workforce could lose their jobs due to automation by 2030, the U.S. has not stopped importing more than a million foreign nationals every year.

For blue-collar American workers, mass immigration has not only kept wages down but in many cases decreased wages, as Breitbart News reported. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues importing more foreign nationals with whom working-class Americans are forced to compete. In 2016, the U.S. brought in about 1.8 million mostly low-skilled immigrants.

Trump: North Korea Summit Is On For June 12, ‘Relationships Are Building’

Via Free Beacon:

President Donald Trump said Friday he had a “very good meeting” with Kim Yong Chol, the envoy of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the country’s top nuclear negotiator.

Kim Yong Chol delivered a letter from his boss to Trump during a White House meeting that ended up going for two hours and covered a range of topics, including denuclearization and sanctions. Trump confirmed the meeting with Kim Jong Un scheduled for June 12 in Singapore will go forward as planned; although, he said it will only be a starting point.

“I never said it goes in one meeting,” Trump said. “I think it’s going to be a process, but the relationships are building and that’s a very positive thing.”

“You’re talking about years of hostility, years of problems, years of, really, hatred between so much different nations,” Trump added. “I think you’re going to have a really positive result in the end, not from one meeting.”

A Win for the Wall: Telemundo Reluctantly Reports Free Speech Victory

The forces of political correctness and suppression of free speech have been dealt a defeat at the hands of Liberty High School senior Addison Barnes, and even Telemundo took note.

During its nationally televised morning show, the Spanish-language sister network of NBC reported, with evident reluctance, that a federal district court has upheld Barnes’ right to wear a pro-border wall t-shirt, despite the fact that school administrators wanted to prevent him from doing so because the pro-wall message allegedly “contributed to a hostile learning environment.”

VANESSA HAUC, NEWS ANCHOR, TELEMUNDO: A student supporter of President Trump will be able to wear a t-shirt which promotes the construction of the border wall. That is the decision of a federal judge following the controversy that was unleashed when school authorities prohibited him from wearing it for the rest of the school year. The school claimed that the message emblazoned on the t-shirt contributed to a hostile learning environment, at a school where almost 33% of the students are of Hispanic origin.

Judge Michael Mosman, appointed to the federal bench in 2003 by President George W. Bush, ruled that Barnes’ t-shirt, emblazoned with the words “Donald J. Trump Border Wall Construction Co.” is “core protected speech” and that First Amendment protections cannot vary from school to school, depending on who might or might not be offended by that speech.

As Barnes also noted in an interview with ABC News, his high school’s attempt to stifle controversial political speech was incongruous, as another of his liberal teachers had previously been allowed to display in a classroom a pro-sanctuary city sign that read “Sanctuary City, Welcome Home.”

Below is the transcript of the entire above-referenced report, as aired on the May 31, 2018 edition of the Telemundo morning show Un Nuevo Día.

Report: Leading BDS Organization Tied to Palestinian Terrorist Groups

Proof the protesters we knew were defending the terrorists are in fact connected to the terrorists.

Via Free Beacon:

An American umbrella group of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS) against Israel facilitates tax-exempt donations to a Palestinian coalition that includes numerous U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, according to a new report.

The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, a Virginia-based nonprofit that coordinates the efforts of 329 different pro-BDS organizations, is a fiscal sponsor of the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), which is based in the West Bank and Gaza, Tablet magazine reported Friday.

The BNC, created in Ramallah in 2007, counts the Council of National and Islamic Forces, commonly known as PNIF, among its members. Five different U.S-designated terrorist organizations are members of PNIF: Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Popular Front – General Command (PFLP-GC), the Palestine Liberation Front, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

Establishment Media Issues Four Corrections After Falsely Claiming Trump Separating Families at Border

The establishment media suffered a major blow over the past 48 hours, being forced to issue four corrections after falsely claiming that President Trump enacted a policy to separate border-crossing parents from their children at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In a list compiled by the White House, the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, and Seattle Times all had to issue corrections to their false immigration reports.

A New York Times report and a USA Today report both had to issue corrections after they claimed that the Trump administration had “lost track” of nearly 1,500 unaccompanied minors who had crossed the southern border and been resettled across the country.

As the New York Times correction notes, those unaccompanied minors are not in federal custody anymore.

Correction: An earlier version of this column mischaracterized the legal status of 1,475 undocumented migrant children who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without their parents. Those children were placed in the custody of sponsors screened by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. They are no longer in federal custody.

The USA Today correction reads:

Corrections & Clarifications: An earlier version of this column mischaracterized the legal status of 1,475 undocumented migrant children who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without their parents. Those children were placed in the custody of sponsors screened by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. They are no longer in federal custody.

A Washington Post reporter and the Seattle Times Editorial Board were both forced to issue corrections after they falsely claimed that Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had enacted a policy to separate border-crossing families as a deterrence for illegal immigration.

In fact, the Trump administration’s policy is to prosecute all border crossers, including illegal alien parents who cross the border with their children. This policy results in border-crossing parents having their children taken into federal custody.

The Washington Post correction reads:

NOTE: This article has been updated to clarify that the Trump administration’s new policy is to prosecute all undocumented border crossers and that the result is to separate parents from children; the policy’s explicit purpose is not to separate undocumented parents and children.

Likewise, the Seattle Times correction reads:

NOTE: Correction: A previous version of this post said that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen had defended the Trump administration policy of detaining undocumented immigrants and separating them from their children as being “for the purpose of deterrence.” Nielsen in fact had testified at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing that DHS had not been directed to enact the policy as a means of deterrence. The post has been updated.

As Breitbart News reported, unaccompanied minors arriving at the southern border and being resettled across the U.S. have cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. Last year, alone, unaccompanied minors cost taxpayers $1.4 billion to house and provide welfare for them.
