A petition to boycott ABC’s late-night funnyman Jimmy Kimmel has reached more than 50,000 signatures after the Live host dedicated a segment of his show on Monday to mock First Lady Melania Trump and her accent.

“We may not get him kicked off the air,” reads the recently launched petition, which calls for the boycott of Jimmy Kimmel Live. “But we can send a message that these attacks on our First Lady will NOT be tolerated!”

Kimmel caused a stir last week with his monologue mocking Mrs. Trump reading a children’s book to kids at the White House Easter Egg Hunt.

“No White House Easter celebration would be complete without story time with our first lady,” Kimmel said.

“Be clever and curious, just like a cat,” Mrs. Trump reads in the video played by Kimmel. “Ask lots of questions. about this and that.”

While his audience laughed along, Kimmel delivered a mocking impression of the first lady’s accent, saying, “Yeah, about dees and dat.”

“Guillermo, you know what this means, you could be first lady of the United States,” Kimmel said to his Mexican immigrant sidekick.

The boycott organizers plan to mail the petition to “the front door of Disney/ABC Studios in Burbank, CA.”

“Let’s send a message that these attacks on our First Lady will NOT be tolerated!” the group said.

Kimmel — who is facing fierce criticism for repeatedly making grotesque gay sex jokes about Fox News host Sean Hannity and President Donald Trump — said last month that he’d seen polling that shows his anti-Trump rhetoric “has cost me commercially.”

“That’s not ideal, but I wouldn’t change anything I said,” Kimmel said defiantly.

National big-box retailer Target was badly burned in the public relations arena two years ago when it decided that it would choose sides in the culture wars by announcing that the chain’s restrooms would not be limited to the gender of birth for shoppers but rather their gender identity.

The policy change came during the big push at the end of the eight-year Obama horror show to throw open women’s restrooms to not only transgenders but potentially perverts and child molesters and Target paid dearly at the time with conservatives choosing to do their shopping elsewhere as well as Christian organizations calling to boycott the corporation.

Things died down after the suits at corporate headquarters mollified critics by spending millions on adding a third single bathroom to stores but the controversy has once again reared its head after a pervert exposed himself to a young girl at a Chicago-area location last weekend.

Via Business Insider “Outraged shoppers threaten to boycott Target after a man exposes himself to a young girl in a store’s bathroom”:

Target is facing widespread outrage and calls for a boycott after a man exposed himself to a girl in the women’s bathroom of one of its stores.

The evangelist Franklin Graham slammed Target for the incident in a Facebook post on Wednesday and urged his more than 6.7 million followers to boycott the company in response. In the post, Graham blamed the incident on the company’s bathroom policy, which was changed two years ago to allow transgender customers to use the bathroom or fitting room that matched their gender identity.
Though a suspect has not been named and there was no indication the man was transgender, Graham’s post has been shared more than 58,000 times and has generated more than 17,000 comments, most of which expressed support for a Target boycott.

Target says the man who exposed himself was drunk when he entered the women’s bathroom at one of its Chicago stores and pushed into a stall that was being used by a young girl, pushed her out of the way, and used the bathroom before leaving. The police are still searching for the man, according to the Chicago NBC affiliate WMAQ.

“At Target, the safety and security of our guests is critically important to us,” a Target spokeswoman, Danielle Schumann, told WMAQ. “Immediately after a guest notified us of this incident, we called law enforcement and provided them with video footage from our store entrance to help with their investigation.”

Additional details via Chicago ABC affiliate ABC 7 “Police: Man exposed himself to child in South Loop Target restroom”:

Police are looking for a man who exposed himself to a child last Sunday at a store in the South Loop.

A mother was with her young child at about 4:08 p.m. in the women’s restroom at the Target at 1154 S. Clark when the man entered and insisted he had to go to the bathroom, according to Chicago Police.

He then pushed into the stall where the child was and exposed his genitals before leaving the bathroom, police said.

He was described by police as black with a dark complexion, about 30 to 40 years old, 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall, 170 to 190 pounds and wearing a red jacket, dark-colored hat, gray pants and sunglasses.

Reverend Franklin Graham is calling for Christians to send Target a message by boycotting the store and no, this is not the same as David Hogg’s cyberbullying to crush free speech but rather a legitimate response to a retailer that should have seen this coming when it decided to mix business with politics.

Perverts are perverts and they will prowl but why would anyone make it easier for them?

Now a poor child has been traumatized by some freak wagging his wiener in her face and Target is left holding the bag – again.

A former heroin addict, now self-described political junkie, is turning into a viral hero after she described how discovering that “(t)he left encourages and enables dependency,” turned her into a conservative.

In a video posted to Twitter on Thursday by user @Ellysa_Maye, who runs a conservative Facebook group called Red, Right + True, she discussed why she turned on the left during her time as a drug addict.

She describes a period where she “left treatment, got kicked out of rehab — but learned a lot.”

That’s when she said she became disillusioned with the political dogma of the left.

“Try and make guns illegal, but have fun trying to take guns away from a meth head,” she states.

“Have fun trying to track those down.”

She also said that period taught her a great deal about the values of the American political left.

“The left encourages and enables dependency in so many ways,” she says in the video.

“Financially, physically, if we’re talking about drugs,” she continues. “People would trade food stamps for heroin, food stamps for rides (to pick up drugs), food stamps for weapons.”

“I saw a lot of bad things, experienced a lot of bad things.”

She said that while no one side is totally to blame for these problems, it’s mostly a function of larger government — the province of the American political left, which many Republicans can still fall prey to.

“Politicians on both sides create problems so that they can offer us solutions,” she said. “And then we vote for those solutions.

“We are always promised things that will never happen,” she says. “That’s why it’s just better to live your life aiming to be an individual.

She adds that “there needs to be help for people in the system, of course.

“But there is so much abuse in the system. America is essentially subsidizing people’s self-destruction. We don’t need to be so government-minded. We don’t need to rely on them for everything.

“If nobody was dependent and there were no problems to offer solutions to, the left would have no power,” she concludes.

Her video gained a lot of traction, particularly from former users and their family who were followers.

A pro-gun group has filed a federal lawsuit against a Chicago suburb that banned so-called “assault rifles” as well as high-capacity magazines, a press release stated.

The Second Amendment Foundation made the announcement just days after Deerfield, Illinois passed the ban, saying that it violated state law.

“The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a lawsuit against the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois seeking an injunction against enforcement of the ban on so-called ‘assault weapons’ and ‘large capacity magazines’ adopted by the Village Board of Trustees earlier this week,” the statement read.

“Joining SAF in the legal challenge is the Illinois State Rifle Association and a private citizen, Daniel Easterday, who resides in the village and is a gun owner.”

According to WLS-TV, residents who refuse to comply with the ban would face a fine of up to $1,000 a day. Village leaders have the power to decide what qualifies as an “assault weapon.”

Liberals in Deerfield were ecstatic at the meeting where the ban was passed.

“This is our fight. This is our generation’s fight, and we’re going to keep fighting,” anti-gun Deerfield High School student Ariella Kharasch told the village leaders. “Thank you for being part of that.”

“If Highland Park, if Deerfield, if more towns say no to this type of weapon, maybe the state of Illinois says no,” Deerfield Village Manager Kent Street said. “Maybe the federal government says no.”

While a previous Deerfield gun-grabbing ordinance covering high-powered weapons survived scrutiny by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015, the Second Amendment Foundation’s lawsuit focuses on a provision in state law.

“The lawsuit challenges the village ban under a 2013 amended state statute that declared ‘the regulation of the possession or ownership of assault weapons are exclusive powers and functions of this State. Any ordinance or regulation, or portion of that ordinance or regulation, that purports to regulate the possession or ownership of assault weapons in a manner that is inconsistent with this Act, shall be invalid.,’” the press release notes.

“We moved swiftly to challenge this gun ban because it flies in the face of state law,” Second Amendment Foundation founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb is quoted as saying in the press release.

“While the village is trying to disguise this as an amendment to an existing ordinance, it is, in fact, a new law that entirely bans possession of legally-owned semi-auto firearms, with no exception for guns previously owned, or any provision for self-defense.

“The new ordinance also provides for confiscation and destruction of such firearms and their original capacity magazines,” he continued.

“What is particularly outrageous about this new law is that it levies fines of up to $1,000 a day against anyone who refuses to turn in their gun and magazines or move them out of the village by the time the ordinance takes effect in June. This certainly puts the lie to claims by anti-gunners that ‘nobody is coming to take your guns.’”

Deerfield resident Dan Cox may have put it best. At the same village meeting where liberals were doing a victory lap, he issued a stern warning to those who would take their guns away.

“You are the bureaucrats that Thomas Jefferson warned us about,” Cox said.

And now, if the Second Amendment Foundation has any say in it, they’re going to pay.

In an era of pure propaganda, activist media networks, planted stories, shilling for foreign wars and glorifying smut, it is encouraging that many Americans are starting to get the idea that they are constantly being lied to.

In the scorched earth war against President Trump that has been waged across television screens, newspapers, magazines, and social media, the biggest casualty may end up being those biased and dishonest organizations that would rather burn their own reputations down than see the POTUS succeed.

A new poll by Monmouth University is bad news for the mainstream media which thanks to its own transparent far-left agenda are becoming less trusted by the day and for a damned good reason.

THEY LIE!

According to the poll, a whopping 77 percent of respondents believe that the mainstream media reports fake news – nice job CNN, you have been the forerunner in turning the entire press into a mockery that is about as free as one would expect in North Korea or Putin’s Russia.

Poll: 77% say media reports “fake news” https://t.co/MLCrMzphLo pic.twitter.com/BoVGhy2HWM

Via The Washington Examiner “Poll: 77% say media reports ‘fake news’”:

Those believing that the media reports “fake news” has surged in the past year to more than three out of four Americans.

According to the latest Monmouth University poll, 77 percent believe the media at least occasionally engages in reporting fake news, and they blame those trying to plant false stories as well as editors.

That is sharply up from the 63 percent who believed it a year ago.

According to Monmouth:

The news about “fake news” is not good, according to the Monmouth University Poll. Large majorities of the American public believe that traditional media outlets engage in reporting fake news and that outside sources are actively trying to plant fake stories in the mainstream media. When it comes to the meaning of “fake news,” a majority believe that it involves editorial decisions as well as inaccurate reporting. The public feels that social media platforms are partly to blame for the spread of fake news and are not doing enough to stop it. The poll also finds that Pres. Trump continues to be less trusted than the major cable news outlets as an information source.

More than 3-in-4 Americans believe that traditional major TV and newspaper media outlets report “fake news,” including 31% who believe this happens regularly and 46% who say it happens occasionally. The 77% who believe fake news reporting happens at least occasionally has increased significantly from 63% of the public who felt that way last year.

The downside is that there is little faith in President Trump but that in and of itself is a testament to the effectiveness of the rolling smear campaigns that the MSM has been engaged in for nearly three years and especially since the election.

One more reason to support independent media.
