8-year-old boy raises over $50k for homeless vets, Richard Nixon responsible for FoxNews, Why Do Democrats Suck? A I Dream of Jeannie reboot, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Officially Canceled, and much more for November 36, 2019


The Question for Democrats: Why Do You Suck?
There’s a debate tonight? Nov 20? Who knew?
(I sure as hell won’t be watching it. Although that’s all we’ll get in tomorrow’s news.)
The suckage factor is the unmistakable context of tonight’s Democratic debate in Atlanta. All the candidates, to one degree or another, are laboring with a hovering perception among Democratic influentials that, for one reason or another, their candidacies are suffering from fundamental infirmities.
Aren’t we so lucky as what the Boob Tube has to offer us these days?
The Impeachment Circus followed by the Dimocrap Klown Kar.

Students Ditch Their Phones For a Week, Report Feeling Happier & More Refreshed
“I’m having a lot of better relationships.”
Professor Donna Freitas questioned the damage smartphones were doing to young people’s lives.
“The fact that no one can focus, that my students can’t sleep… They feel bad about themselves because of social media, and the list goes on and on,” she said.
Students came out of the experiment wanting to drastically cut their screen time and live more in the moment.
“My screen time is definitely going to go down, and I’m going start to appreciate my surroundings more because usually I’m looking at my screen all the time,” Ashley Castillero said.
Maybe they actually paid attention to the world around them. And had the satisfaction of talking face-to-face with others.
I wonder how soon they’ll revert to their old ways.

Muslim seeks to gain seats in British election
God bless the Queen.
Except that she’s the head of the Church of England and makes her a foe of Islam.
And Muslims are gaining more and more political power across her realm.
Mosques in Finsbury Park in North London, Birmingham’s Central Mosque, and Masjid Alhikmah and Community Centre in Aberdeen have all called on its worshipers to register to vote.
Nasir Mahmood, Deputy Chair of Birmingham Central Mosque, said: “It is the civic duty of every citizen – Muslim or not – to exercise their democratic right to vote. As community leaders, we must do our utmost to help our members participate as fully in the election as they wish to. This initiative is key to engaging our communities and helping Muslims make their voices heard this election.”
Harun Khan, The General Secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain Secretary General, said: “As active participants in our society, Muslims – in all their diversity – can play a significant role in what may become a close election, and we hope that the parties listen and reach out to Muslim communities across the country to engage on issues of concern.”

Pelosi says, “It’s ‘weak,’ ‘Dangerous,’ to let election decide
Whaaaaaaaaaaat!
Pelosi issues rebuttal to GOP talking point in Dear Colleague letter: "The weak response to these hearings has been, 'Let the election decide.' That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because POTUS is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections." pic.twitter.com/L3RFdcSSHb

This totally shows the Dim mindset. The voters are simply too stupid to decide what’s best for this country.

Burger King Being Sued Over Their New “Impossible Whopper”
And You Can’t Make This Up
A Burger that’s not a Burger.
What next?
Burger King was sued on Monday by a vegan customer who accused the fast-food chain of contaminating its meatless “Navy
SEAImpossible” Whoppers by cooking them on the same grills as its traditional meat burgers.
Another whacko Leftist out to make things miserable for the majority. And he’ll probably find some Dimocrap judge to support his suit.
And I had no idea that BK is owned by Canadians.

Powerful winds sweeping through southeastern Australia have coated a town in dust, giving the sky a dark orange hue. Residents said that dust storms are becoming more regular, making the area uninhabitable.
And let’s not forget the raging wildfires.

Navy commando accused of war crimes faces expulsion from SEALs after Trump restored rank
They just won’t give up on going after this guy.
What’re they going to do. Take his Budweiser away from him?
Sorry. Once you’ve earned it, you keep it for life.
The military has launched proceedings to expel commando Edward Gallagher from the Navy SEALs – who faced court-martial for war crimes earlier this year – even after President Trump restored his rank in a recent clemency order.
A review hearing scheduled for early December will determine whether Gallagher can continue to be a SEAL, Navy Captain Tamara Lawrence told Reuters. The commando’s own lawyer also confirmed he had been served with a notice informing him of the upcoming hearing.
At this point, why should he care? He’s back at Chief Petty Officer and has indicated he’s putting in his retirement papers. Can you imagine the book deals he’s gonna get? And the speaking fees?
Three of Gallagher’s commanding officers also face individual review hearings to determine whether they will be removed from the SEALs, Lawrence added.

President Trump Orders Navy: Do Not Take Eddie Gallagher’s Navy SEAL Trident Pin
I love this man! The President is relentless in righting the wrongs of the quisling Democrat deep state.
I totally agree!

Ukrainian Members of Parliament want investigation by US and Ukrainian presidents
Don’t bother playing the video as it’s not in English
They want to know about the money laundering of $7.4 BILLION by the “family” of the previous president. Guess how.
...through the American investment fund Franklin Templeton Investments, which they said has ties to the U.S. Democratic Party, which ultimately profited Hunter Biden, among other people, upwards of $16.5 million.
Snip
The son of Templeton’s founder, John Templeton Jr., was one of President Obama’s major campaign donors. Another fund-related character is Thomas Donilon. Managing Director of BlackRock Investment Institute, shareholder Franklin Templeton Investments, which has the largest share in the fund. It is noteworthy that he previously was Obama’s national security advisor,” Derkach said.
Snip
“President Zelensky must pick up the phone, dial Trump, ask for help and cooperation in the fight against corruption and fly to Washington. The issue of combating international corruption in Ukraine with the participation of citizens, businessmen and U.S. officials should become a key during the meeting of the two presidents,” he said.
So, let’s get this straight. Joe Biden, Obama’s vice president, was responsible for dealing with the Ukraine because of Russian aggression. Somehow, his kid gets involved and walks away with millions in his pockets.
But President Trump is guilty of trying to put down a possible political opponent by asking the Ukrainian president to look into this.
Got it?

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Took Money Earmarked for Police & Bought 2 Luxury GMC Denalis
She’s a Dimocrud and…..
What else needs to be said?
ATLANTA – The two luxury GMC Denalis used to chauffeur Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms around town were purchased for a combined $175,000 without the apparent authorization of Atlanta City Council. The city had designated the money for police vehicles used by patrol officers and detectives, reported AJC.

The Most Important News Story Right Now Isn’t Impeachment,
It’s The Crisis In Mexico
And it won’t stay south of the border!
The first was a report from BuzzFeed that as of Wednesday the Trump administration began carrying out a controversial plan to deport asylum-seekers from El Salvador and Honduras—not to their home countries, but to Guatemala, which the administration has designated a “safe third country,” meaning that migrants from those countries must first apply for asylum in Guatemala before seeking asylum in the United States.
The second story was a Los Angeles Times dispatch from the Mexican state of Michoacán, where rival cartels are waging war not over drug trafficking routes but over control of the multibillion-dollar avocado industry. More than a dozen criminal groups are fighting over the avocado trade in and around Uruapan, the capitol of Michoacán, “preying on wealthy orchard owners, the laborers who pick the fruit and the drivers who truck it north to the United States,” writes reporter Kate Linthicum. Organized crime in Mexico, she explains, is diversifying—it isn’t just about drugs anymore:
The country is slowing sinking into anarchy.
And the new president has not but empty platitudes as solutions. He claimed to create a new, non-corrupt, federal police force but it doesn’t seem to be doing much so far.
The upshot is that as Mexico descends into warlordism marked by widespread criminality and gang warfare, we should expect ordinary Mexicans to respond the way ordinary Central Americans have. Eventually, they’ll leave. Many of them, perhaps hundreds of thousands, will at some point head north and claim asylum. When they do, the border crisis that we’ve been dealing with for the past year will seem insignificant—a prelude to a much larger and intractable crisis, for which there will be no easy fix.
They used to come for economic reasons. Now it’s fearing for their lives.

Richard Nixon responsible for FoxNews
An interesting supposition. Something I haven’t heard before.
If Fox News had a DNA test, it would trace its origins to the Nixon administration. In 1970, political consultant Roger Ailes and other Nixon aides came up with a plan to create a new TV network that would circumvent existing media and provide "pro-administration" coverage to millions. "People are lazy," the aides explained in a memo. "With television you just sit — watch — listen. The thinking is done for you." Nixon embraced the idea, saying he and his supporters needed "our own news" from a network that would lead "a brutal, vicious attack on the opposition."
It took 26 years until Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes got it off the ground, Oct 7, 1996. 17 million viewers, but no outlets in NYC or LA. I knew there’s a radio outlet but never bothered to find it here in Vegas.
Just finished 71 straight months as the leading cable TV news network.

Barbara Eden is down for an I Dream of Jeannie reboot
Have they run out of new ideas? And, for goodness sakes, shes 88. That’s more than Agnes Moorhead was when she played her mother.
And, she’s a long way from this:

8-year-old boy raises over $50k for homeless vets
Tyler’s giving back to our veterans, one ‘hero bag’ at a time. https://t.co/wHNd1nDbaN
— GoFundMe (@gofundme) November 19, 2019
And he’s been doing it since he as 4.
"Doing something special for veterans began after I started asking my mom why some veterans are homeless," Tyler said on his GoFundMe page. "After talking to my mom, I really wanted to help build homes for veterans but together we decided on a more realistic goal. We came up with an idea to make hygiene and grooming kits with thank you cards to give to veterans in need. I call them Hero Bags!"
Probably a hell of a lot more effective than government progrms.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Officially Canceled
Seems like Epstein was somehow connected to it. And only 3.27 million watched it in 2018.
In May, L Brands CEO Leslie Wexner announced in a memo that the fashion show would no longer air on TV. “We have decided to re-think the traditional Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,” Wexner said, according to The New York Times. “Going forward we don’t believe network television is the right fit.”
And sales are down.
NFL Weak 12,
Are you in pain?
Try psychotherapy.
There are 100 million Americans who suffer from chronic pain, and an unknown number of them are like Golson, with back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia symptoms, or other forms of pain that have no diagnosed physical cause.
It’s not that their pain is “in their heads.” The truth is much more nuanced: All pain can have both physical and psychological components. But the psychological component is often dismissed or never acknowledged.
Big pharma won’t like this as they make unknown billions every year selling pain meds.
Pain can be manufactured in your head and in your body
Pain, explained
Psychotherapy helps you tell a new story about pain
The best evidence base is for cognitive behavioral therapy
(Psychological treatments are no cure-all for chronic pain.)
Psychological therapies can get better — and so can access to them
(There’s still a lot researchers don’t know…)
We need medical and psychological treatments for pain. But we also need to recognize that medical treatments have been overused.

Obama directly involved in Ukraine corruption scandal?
Both the Office of the General Prosecutor and Members of Parliament in Ukraine today have named multiple US citizens and political organizations with involvement in the massive corruption scandal surrounding Burisma Holdings money-laundering and racketeering.
Hunter Biden is one of the main individuals named in the newly filed charges against the owner of Burisma Holdings, the Ukraine energy company on whose board Biden sits. The filing which was largely ignored by the mainstream media specifically says that Hunter Biden was one of the conduits through which money was “siphoned” from Ukraine.
Additionally, both the DNC organization and Barack Hussein Obama were named in the documents as having direct and indirect ties to this massive corrupt money-laundering operation.
Do you think things are starting to unravel?
It’s going to be interesting to see how far this goes. And don’t expect the Lame Street Media to pay attention to it.

Vets urge Trump impeachment
Really impressive. Right?
There’s a problem though.
It’s funded by George Soros. Through one of his many cover groups.
187 groups funded by George Soros are being used to destroy America. To see the complete list of the 187 groups who are using Trump’s election as an excuse to destroy America, go here.
The groups flash on the screen so quickly it’s difficult to read.
And here’s this:
Each of the ads contains a disclosure stating they’re paid for by “Defend American Democracy,” but D.C. business registration documents reveal the group is just one of the many projects of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a dark money nonprofit that pumped $141 million into liberal causes in 2018 alone, Open Secrets reported.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund reported receiving $52 million from a single anonymous donor in 2018, but as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, it is not required to disclose the identity of its donors.

Weak 12: Most of the NFL Season Done, Most Seats Remain Empty
The Tweets that are in this article are telling.
In person attendance is way down. And, from what I’ve been reading, TV ratings are in the tank.

Oh boo hoo.

Ranking all the Star Wars films
Star Wars IV – A new hope comes in at #1. It was not the top grosser at only $786 million (and counting)
All of this, of course, comes up with the Dec 20 release of The Rise of Skywalker. Here’s a surprise clip from it:
Stormtroopers with jetpacks?
To say that I’m a fan of Star Wars is an understatement. When Return of the Jedi came out in 1983, I actually broke a long-time personal taboo to stand in line to watch it in a movie theater. I’ve watched it so many times since that I can’t count.
So, here are some personal comments.
I really thought this would be the blockbuster of all scifi movies.
The special effects awed me. The first 5 or 6 times. After that, they got boring.
Even Sir Alec was wooden and emotionless. Or, what emotions did get shown weren’t that convincing.
I’ve watched every single film that’s come out since. I never saw an improvement in the acting of Mark Hamill or Carie Fisher. Some of the others did get better.
Will I watch them again?
You bet.
Will I watch this next one?
When it comes to Pay-for-view.
Read the reviews and decide for yourselves.
