Amid controversy that Roseanne Barr‘s character in ABC’s “Roseanne” reboot will be a President Trump supporter, fans of Tim Allen’s canceled show “Last Man Standing” have turned to social media to call for ABC to bring his series back.
“@ABCNetwork you get rid of last man standing because of its political views, yet Roseanne is pro Trump and you are gonna let her share her views. Someone is a little hypocritical and pro trump at ABC. #lastmanstanding @ofctimallen,” tweeted one fan.
“Would love to see the show give Tim Allen or his #LastManStanding character a guest shot. I’m sure Roseanne’s family would shop at Outdoor Man,” tweeted another.
Allen’s show featured conservative values, and many fans speculated that was the reason behind its cancellation. ABC denied it canceled the highly rated series over politics.
Americans on both sides of the political aisle believe the media does a poor job covering political issues fairly, according to a blockbuster new survey of media consumption in 38 nations.
What’s more, the Pew Research Center’s study found that supporters of President Trump believe the media is doing a worse job covering politics than the supporters of any of the other international political leaders in countries surveyed.
“Large gaps in ratings of the media emerge between governing party supporters and non-supporters. On the question of whether their news media cover political issues fairly, for example, partisan differences appear in 20 of the 38 countries surveyed. In five countries, the gap is at least 20 percentage points, with the largest by far in the U.S. at 34 percentage points,” said Pew.
The recent cold snap was “highly unusual in the current climate,” and not the product of man-made global warming, a new study found.
But wait, other scientists said the two-weeks of frigid weather and snow in the eastern U.S. was “very much consistent with our expectations of the response of weather dynamics to human-caused climate change.”
The group Climate Central put out a new study countering that claim. Climate Central specializes in an emerging area of research called “attribution” where scientists try to pin specific weather events on man-made warming.
Climate Central’s new study, however, only shows the malleable nature of trying to attribute individual weather events to long-term changes in global climate. The answer to questions of “is this weather the product of global warming” still depends largely on who you ask.
Hawaii Nuclear Clusterfoxtrot Continued: EMA Incorrectly Tweets Will Hold Briefing on ‘Missile Launch’
January 13, 2018 by Kristinn Taylor
Hawaii’s Emergency Management Agency continues to act like a scary clown show following Saturday morning’s false ‘this is not a drill’ alert that a missile was headed to Hawaii that was sent to cellphones all over Hawaii and broadcast on TV and radio. The scary error was compounded by EMA’s failure to send out a correction until 38 minutes later. (A little noticed correction tweet was posted about twelve minutes after the alert was sent.)
EMA posted a tweet about a press conference to be held later on Saturday, “Press conference on missile launch at 1 pm today at the Emergency Operating Center. #hawaiiema”
The tweet was deleted after an embarrassed U.S. Senator for Hawaii, Brian Schatz, called out EMA and urged they delete the tweet, “Please delete this tweet. There was no missile launch. https://twitter.com/hawaii_ema/status/952287925777063936 …”
The press conference by Governor David Ige is set for 6 p.m. EST, 1 p.m. HST.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Chelsea Manning, the transgender U.S. Army soldier who served seven years in military prison for leaking classified data, is seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate seat from Maryland, according to Federal election filings seen on Saturday.
WASHINGTON, DC – President Donald Trump’s decision to keep the United States in the Iran nuclear deal on Friday was coupled with a warning to his European allies: “Fix the deal’s disastrous flaws, or the United States will withdraw.”
“Despite my strong inclination, I have not yet withdrawn the United States from the Iran nuclear deal. Instead, I have outlined two possible paths forward: either fix the deal’s disastrous flaws, or the United States will withdraw,” Trump said in a statement.
He added:
I am waiving the application of certain nuclear sanctions, but only in order to secure our European allies’ agreement to fix the terrible flaws of the Iran nuclear deal. This is a last chance. In the absence of such an agreement, the United States will not again waive sanctions in order to stay in the Iran nuclear deal. And if at any time I judge that such an agreement is not within reach, I will withdraw from the deal immediately.
To drive the point home, Trump said, “No one should doubt my word. I said I would not certify the nuclear deal—and I did not. I will also follow through on this pledge.”
The leader of the free world expressed that he is willing and ready to work “with Congress on bipartisan legislation regarding Iran,” adding, “But any bill I sign must include four critical components,” which include the immediate inspections of all sites requested by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The United States has also demanded that America’s European allies ensure the Islamic Republic never comes close to possessing a nuclear weapon. Third, he said that “these provisions must have no expiration date,” unlike the provisions listed in the nuclear deal. “My policy is to deny Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon—not just for ten years, but forever.”
Trump’s decision to waive the sanctions reportedly came at the recommendation of his national security team, including National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Calling conservatives and Republicans “racist” seems to be the go-to tactic out of the leftist playbook. The facts, however, tell a very different story. In fact, it is Republicans who have historically made great strides for the African-American community.
The story of William Carney is just one example.
Carney’s father was a slave who eventually made his way to freedom by following the Underground Railroad. After arriving in Massachusetts, Carney’s father earned enough money to purchase his wife and son’s freedom as well.
William later decided to go into ministry, but the Civil War interrupted his pursuit. Instead, he felt that God could use him best in the military, and he decided to enlist with the Union troops.
In March of 1863, Carney was assigned to Company C, 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry Regiment. Along with 40 other African-American men, this company was the first official Union black unit.
Carney and his company were assigned to South Carolina, where on July 18 he and his fellow soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts were told to scale the walls of the Confederate Fort Wagner.
The film “Glory” depicts the incredible battle.
During the fighting, Carney saw that the unit’s color guard was wounded, and the American flag was almost touching the ground. In a desperate attempt to keep the flag upright, Carney rushed over and grabbed it.
Are you proud of Republicans’ history on Civil Rights?
William Carney Holding the United States Flag
With flag in hand, Carney rushed up to the wall, encouraging his fellow soldiers to follow him into the fight.
Despite the chaos, Carney was able to plant the flag at the base of the fort and angle it upward for his whole unit to see.
Carney suffered major blood loss during the fight, but it is said that he never allowed the flag to touch the ground. “Boys, the old flag never touched the ground,” he said.
Carney exhibited an act of patriotic bravery that was an example to both whites and blacks fighting for the Union. As a result of that bravery, it was a Republican President William McKinley who issued the Medal of Honor to Carney for his “extraordinary heroism.”
Liberals love to tout how racist Republicans are, but they often forget about stories like these. They forget that it was a Republican president who freed the slaves, and a Republican Congress who pushed the Civil Rights Acts through.
Sorry Dems, you may call yourselves the champions of African-American civil liberties, but it’s Republicans who have long stood beside African-Americans. Democrats are also the ones who called Ben Carson a “Black White Nationalist.”
You can keep your history of racist comments — we’ll hold on to stories such as this one about a hero by the name of William Carney.
Given where this conversation is currently flaring up it likely wouldn’t merit a mention if we weren’t seeing the same thing in so many other places. The issue at hand is whether or not it’s “transphobic” or discriminatory in some fashion for a straight person to refuse to date someone of the same sex if they “identify” as the opposite gender. This story comes to us from the UK version of the reality show, Celebrity Big Brother. I initially thought that they might be stretching the definition of celebrity here, as I’d never heard of either India Willoughby (a male journalist who now identifies as a woman) or R’n’B singer Ginuwine. But for all I know they’re all the rage in England, so take that as you will.
The BBC reports that Willoughby became incensed when Ginuwine declared the decision as to whether or not one should date across the gender-bending aisle to be a “personal choice,” but stated that he personally wouldn’t do it. The journalist became further upset when he sugested sharing a kiss with Ginuwine and was rebuffed. This, apparently, set off a debate across the pond as to whether or not Ginuwine (and presumably anyone else holding his common sense opinions) is a hateful, hatemongering, Hatey McHateface.
“I do not want to call it transphobic,” says Miss Sahara, a transgender woman who works as a model and songwriter. “When someone is transphobic they don’t sit next to them. Ginuwine was having a very comfortable conversation with India.”
“What is transphobia? If you are afraid of trans people, if you are excluding trans women from womanhood then you are being transphobic.
“What Ginuwine said was that of an ignorant person who has not been with a trans woman before. It was more of an ignorance, fed by a media that often depicts trans women in a sensationalised way, with strong bone structure and husky low-baritone voices,” Miss Sahara says.
“The majority of straight men are worried about what society thinks of them if they date a trans woman,” she says. “Toxic masculinity makes them violent and rude about their attraction.”
Willoughby later goes on to unintentionally make the point which his community seems to be missing, saying, ” all this superficial stuff that you are a woman and all that sounds great and is the right thing to say. But it makes no difference if people don’t believe it – that’s the problem.”
Yes indeed. That is the problem. People don’t believe you’re a woman and I guarantee you that the same goes for a significant majority of the liberals who support you and your cause. They’re saying they believe it because it’s become the cause du jour in social justice circles and they’ve been trained to say those words so as not to offend the in crowd. But in their hearts, they know that you are the gender you were born as. You’ve touched on the heart of it with the word “believe.” The problem isn’t that they don’t believe it. The problem is that you believe you are a woman. That’s pretty much the definition of gender dysphoria, gender confusion or whatever you care to call it.
As to the other question, it is patently preposterous for any group of supporters to go around on social media and elsewhere lecturing straight people and accusing them of some form of hate crime or bigotry because they choose to date people of the opposite gender. That’s how the majority of people are wired and there is simply no way in hell that your average straight male is going to get into a sexual relationship with someone with male genitalia simply because they believe they’re a girl. Nor would a straight woman hop into bed with another woman. It would be equally unfair for you to chastise a gay man or a lesbian for not veering off and dating outside of their preferred pool.
This simply isn’t going to happen. And you’re not going to make any of us feel guilty for not bending to your will suddenly jumping into the gay dating scene. Give it a rest. As an adult, you’re free to “believe” whatever you like, but the rest of society is under no obligation to play along and enable your fantasy.
What one woman probably thought was only a white lie to police, led to the death of five people. Sadly, the woman who dialed 911 is only charged with filing a false police report.
According to WNCN-TV, the incident happened in Greensboro, North Carolina in November of 2017.
Erica Robinson filed a police report in September 2017 to list a silver 2003 Acura as stolen.
In November, police spotted the car and tried to pull the driver over.
However, the driver of the Acura sped up and a police pursuit ensued.
The driver of the Acura then blew threw a red light and crashed into a Kia Optima. The three people in the Acura and two people in the Optima all died at the scene.
WFMY-TV identified the victims as Deshon Lee Manuel, Theresa Monique Kingcade, Bruce Wayne Hunt, Stephanie Louise Warshauer and Alyssa Mackenzie Bolick.
According to News & Record, police later realized that the Acura was actually registered in Robinson’s mother’s name.
“I know everybody wants to pin something on somebody here, but we’ve got to stay within the confines of the law,” assistant District Attorney Howard Neumann said.
Does America’s justice system need reform?
“The charge is that she reported it stolen when it was not stolen,” he continued.
So Robinson lied and five people were killed.
However, Robinson has not been charged in the deaths of the 5 people, but was only charged with filing a false police report.
The maximum sentence for that charge is 60 days in jail.
CNN seems to be stooping to new lows — and that’s saying something.
The left-leaning network has worked itself into a fury over President Trump’s alleged use of the word “s**thole” to describe places like Haiti, and are absolutely aghast that somebody might use that term.
At the same time, CNN seemed to have no problem saying the exact same word themselves, and acted almost giddy to repeat it. The mainstream media actually parroted the same “s-word” so many times that pundits edited together a video mocking how obsessed the left is with it.
Perpetually offended reporter Chris Cuomo took the faux outrage one step further, and blatantly called President Trump a “s**thole” on live television — all while lecturing America about how insensitive it was for Trump to say it in a closed-door meeting.
“We just have to be very clear about what’s going on in the White House, because the president is just showing you who he is. This is who he is, OK? We sum it up in a word, OK?” the liberal host bloviated.
Chris Cuomo wrote, “This is who he is” — referring to Trump — in bold, and then underneath it enthusiastically wrote “S**THOLE” in giant letters.
Hilariously, Cuomo then sanctimoniously scolded viewers about what a “bad word” it was, after having literally just wrote it on a whiteboard with his own hand.
“It’s a bad word, my kids are watching right now,” the CNN host griped. “I don’t want to teach my kids and your kids a bad word, our president decided to make that choice.”
Are you offended by President Trump’s choice of words?
In fact, the president did no such thing. By all accounts, Trump used the word in a meeting he believed was private, during a heated discussion among adults.
Even CNN admitted this in a recent article, which reported that Trump “expressed frustration behind closed doors with people coming to the US from ‘s**thole countries’” (emphasis added).
Suddenly, according to Cuomo, using it is bad, boys and girls… even through the network itself has been repeating it endlessly! They’re tripping over themselves to say it, like teenagers feeling smug by getting away with muttering swear words under their breath.
Even from their vantage point atop a high horse, the media seems to have missed that Barack Obama frequently used rough language as president. He even used a word almost identical to Trump’s to describe the African country of Libya. Que horror!
“Libya is a mess,” The Atlantic quoted Obama saying. “Mess is the president’s diplomatic term; privately, he calls Libya a ‘s**t show,’” the well-known magazine reported, without the asterisks.
Or how about the time former Mexican President Vicente Fox dropped “the F bomb” numerous times on CNN? The network didn’t seem worried about children’s sensitive little ears then… but of course, Fox is anti-Trump and a liberal ally, so it’s fine.
Finally, it’s worth pointing out that even Trump’s critics acknowledge that he was allegedly talking about countries and situations, not people. The very word “s**thole” is meant to denote a location.
“An extremely dirty, shabby, or otherwise unpleasant place,” is the Oxford Dictionary’s definition of the word Trump used. Seems pretty accurate.
Does anybody dispute that Haiti does not meet this definition? Many parts of Africa? Crime-ridden cities in Central America?
CNN is making fools out of themselves. Trump speaks plainly like a normal American, and tells the truth about the reality of the world.
Maybe liberals should be more concerned about why places like Haiti are in such a mess, instead of working themselves into a tither that somebody dared say it out loud.
