Five days after Hannity moves to prime slot, Rachel Maddow gets TERRIBLE news

The reshuffling that has occurred at Fox News in recent months, from firings, resignations and changes in programming times, is a testament to the power of public opinion and ratings — and the power of management changes.

The network’s most recent move to push Sean Hannity, the staunchest conservative in Fox’s arsenal, back to 9 p.m. against the likes of his far-left MSNBC counterpart, Rachel Maddow, has proven to be a genius move for ratings.

From Politico:
In the first week of the head-to-head battle between Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow, the conservative heavyweight drew significantly higher ratings than his liberal counterpart.
Fox News moved Hannity’s show from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m. as part of a broader shakeup of its prime-time line-up, designed in part to counter a dramatic ratings surge by rival MSNBC, led by Maddow, the biggest ratings winner of the Trump era.
Hannity pulled out all the stops, bringing in Steve Bannon, Bill O’Reilly, Paul Ryan and Rush Limbaugh to boost his numbers. It appears to have worked: The Fox News pundit pulled in an average of 3,498,000 viewers from Monday through Thursday, with 713,000 in the key adult 25-54 demographic, according to early Nielsen figures.
Maddow averaged 2,649,000 viewers, with 599,000 adults 25-54. CNN’s 9 p.m. hour — which usually features Anderson Cooper’s “AC360,” but this week had two special town halls — finished third, with 1,173,000 viewers and 416,000 in the key demographic.
Hannity’s big numbers allow Fox News to...

Empty Stadiums? NFL Ticket Sales Fall Off A Cliff…

On the heels of a 17.9 percent drop in ticket sales from one online reseller, another is reporting numbers that almost double that.

We reported Friday that TickPick, an online reseller of tickets for all sorts of events, recorded a drop of 17.9 percent in Week Four ticket purchases over Week Three.

Now another online broker of tickets, TicketCity, is reporting a drop by a whopping 31 percent over last week, The Blaze is reporting.

At the same time last year, ticket sales dropped, but not nearly by this level.

“We have seen a massive decrease in NFL ticket purchases this past week in comparison to years past. Week 3 seems to usually have less ticket orders than week 2, but this year ticket purchases are down more than 7 percent from this time last year,” said TickPick’s Jack Slingland.

This should really come as no surprise. After a third week of mass protests by the NFL – the teams, the players, and now the entire league – ratings are swirling the toilet bowl.

“There are people who are saying that this is my form of entertainment and I don’t want politics in my entertainment,” said TickPick co-CEO Brett Goldberg, emphasizing that he doesn’t personally share that viewpoint, in an interview.

It’s not just ticket sales that are taking a hit.

Through the first three weeks of the season, viewership for national telecasts of NFL games is down 11 percent compared to last year.

The games averaged 17.63 million viewers for the first three weeks of last season, but have dropped to just 15.65 million this year.

The ratings have bombed because the NFL has politicized the games. People on the right are critical of the demonstrations against the National Anthem, and leftists are angry at the perceived mistreatment of their hero...

No, Russia Didn’t Hack 21 States’ Elections: Intercept’s Greenwald Blasts Media Colleagues for Latest Russia Fake News

The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald, in an article Thursday, took a hammer to widespread reporting over the last week of Russia’s attempts to hack the election systems of 21 American states, the piece arguing for more skepticism on “the Russia story.”

Outlets like the USA Today, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show, and the Associated Press went wild at the Department of Homeland Security’s announcement that they, as Maddow put it, “knew at least by June that 21 states had been targeted by Russian hackers during the election … targeting their election infrastructure.”

In Greenwald’s words, “So what was wrong with this story? Just one small thing: it was false.”

Greenwald goes on to describe the precipitous narrative collapse this entire story suffered Wednesday, as DHS was forced to equivocate and then backtrack on the dubious claim. The election authorities of California and Wisconsin hit back hard at the allegation they had been infiltrated by Russian cyber attacks.

With no evidence to support the original claims, DHS retracted them. In Wisconsin’s case, a Russian hacking attempt of the state’s election infrastructure became a “scan” of a state agency totally unrelated to the election. Like Russia stories before it, the 21 vulnerable state election authorities slide down the memory hole.

Greenwald works to establish the pattern of these stories, picked up with abandon by a news media and #resistance movement so eager for “Russia” content. He points to CNN’s demonstrably fake reporting of ten-day White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci’s profiting from a Russian-government tied investment fund that led to the resignation of three CNN employees. He brings up the Washington Post’s equally fake story about Russia’s hacking of the... 

Where was CNN on this story? President Trump delays flight to talk to black officer injured in his motorcade

As the mainstream media goons continue to look for racist narrative to pin on President Donald Trump for the disaster in Puerto Rico, it appears it missed a story.

On Wednesday, as the president was headed to the Indianapolis International Airport to fly back to Washington D.C., an officer who was escorting him crashed his motorcycle on I-70, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department who expressed gratitude on social media.

The officer, Robert Turner, suffered a broken ankle, a possible concussion and cuts and bruises. he was taken to the hospital as the president’s motorcade continued on its journey.

But that was not the end of it for President Trump.

The president would not allow his flight to take off until he spoke to Chief Bryan Roach and the injured officer.

“#BREAKING: Thank you to @POTUS for delaying wheels up to speak with injured Officer Turner. #ThankYou,” it wrote on Twitter.

“On behalf of the IMPD, we would like to take an opportunity to thank President Donald J. Trump for his thoughtful act in delaying his departure in Air Force One until he...

Black Student Group Complains Ivy League School Is Letting In Too Many African Students

Cornell University’s Black Students United demanded the university start recruiting more black American students because the campus has too many African and Caribbean students Wednesday.

Black Students United, a group for students identifying with the African diaspora, handed the university president a list of twelve demands, with one of them dealing with the disproportionate representation of African students compared to black students on the campus.

“We demand that Cornell Admissions to come up with a plan to actively increase the presence of underrepresented Black students on this campus. We define underrepresented Black students as Black Americans who have several generations (more than two) in this country,” the group stated in their demands.

Black Students United takes issue with the fact that there are more African and Caribbean students on campus when compared to black students. The group defines black students as those who come from black families that have lived in America for two or more generations. While the group said it doesn’t mind the university trying to recruit African students, they want the college to pay more attention to black students whose families have been affected by years of white supremacy.

“The Black student population at Cornell disproportionately represents international or first-generation African or Caribbean students. While these students have a right to flourish at Cornell, there is a lack of investment in Black students whose families were affected directly by the African Holocaust in America. Cornell must work to actively support students whose families have been impacted for generations by white supremacy and...

Governor of Puerto Rico Praises Trump and FEMA Response, Need More Truck Drivers To Get Aid To People

The devastation from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was vast.

By some assessments, including that of the Governor of Puerto Rico, it was the worst disaster to hit the island ever.

It laid waste to the infrastructure knocking out the roads and power and leaving people in a critical situation.

The Governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rossello appear on The View on Tuesday to explain where the situation was at and what they still needed in order to be able to help people.

The hosts of the view had attacked President Donald Trump the day before for not going to Puerto Rico, forgetting of course, that in a still critical stage when there’s completely blown out infrastructure, that having to deal with a visit from the president and all the security and disruption that would entail would be the last thing you would want.

They asked the governor about Trump’s response to the disaster, Sara Haines question seemed to assume an answer, that Trump wasn’t doing enough. But Rossello crossed her up.

Haines: We saw a clip of President Trump saying the White House is doing a great job. How do you think they’re doing in terms of response and do you...

Watch This Sewer-Mouthed Student Steal A Guy’s MAGA Hat And Then Utterly Lose Her Mind [VIDEO]



A tremendously angry student at the taxpayer-funded University of California, Riverside stole another student’s “Make America Great Again” hat. Then, she marched to a campus office and demanded that administrators outlaw “Make America Great Again” hats because they represent “genocide.”

The date when the MAGA hat thievery occurred is unclear but Campus Reform has obtained video of the incident from the victim, UC Riverside student Matthew Vitale. And it’s amazing.

The video begins with Vitale walking beside the woman, recording her as she walks. She is holding a red hat with the white words “Make America Great Again” printed across the front.

The woman walks into the office of student life at UC Riverside.

“So this guy thought it would be a good idea to go into a conference wearing this fucking hat,” the hat bandit explains to administrators.

“Look at the kind of shit he’s wearing,” the angry woman says. “You know what this represents? This represents genocide — genocide of a bunch of...

New Report Details Stunning Cost of Illegal Immigration

An investigation by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) found that illegal immigration costs American taxpayers nearly $135 billion each year.

The recently released report, The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers (2017), found that the cost of illegal immigration is too monumental to ignore. The U.S. needs immigration reform.

From FAIR’s report:

At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens, and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member. These figures are before taxes paid by illegal aliens are factored in.

The standard answer from the left concerning illegal immigration’s cost to taxpayers is that illegal aliens pay some taxes.

FAIR found that even factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens, the total fiscal cost of illegal immigration on taxpayers stands at nearly $116 billion.

That’s $116 billion that state and local taxpayers are stuck with, all because of a failure to...

Director Removes Anti-Trump Material From Film, Wins Box Office

“If movies get political when they’re meant to be fun, then it weighs everything down a bit too much.”

We don't want to shock any of our readers, but a major Hollywood director actually did something praiseworthy. He made a choice that put the audience (and, yes, ticket sales) ahead of scoring a few cheap political points.

Matthew Vaughn, director of the new movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle, told Entertainment Weekly that he actually “toned down” some of the more political comments in the editing process before the film was released.

The script originally featured at least two references to Trump, one in the dialogue when the film’s villain, played by Julianne Moore, expresses her desire to host Trump's former show, NBC’s The Apprentice.

“We actually took out the Apprentice line,” said Vaughn, “because we felt it was too close to the bone. I think America’s going through a pretty interesting and rough ride at the moment and I wanted this movie to be escapism. And that means not suddenly have half the audience going, ‘That’s not cool, that’s not funny!’ as the other half is cheering.”

That same impulse control also led to one of the film’s pivotal sets being redesigned:

 



South Park exposes everything wrong with social justice warriors [VIDEO]

At first glance, it appeared that South Park creators Matt Stone & Trey Parker were just going to lampoon victimhood culture and identity politics in their third episode “Holiday Special,” but they went several steps ahead and completely ripped social justice warriors altogether.

It can be argued that they exposed the entire social justice warrior movement as a bunch of white people who use virtue signaling and call people “racists” in order to gain power and attention.

In the lead-up to the episode, Stone and Parker hilariously mocked white people, who through DNA swab tests, get to claim the privileges and victimhood of another ethnic group because they turned out to be either “2.1 percent black” or “4.2 percent Cherokee Indian.”

However, in the episode, we find our favorite social justice warrior, Randy Marsh, going on a tear by getting South Park elementary to cancel Columbus Day and tears down one Columbus statue while defecating on another. He even recruits his son, Stan, to start calling each and every resident of Columbus, Ohio to say they’re a “racist piece of sh-t” for living in a city named after “ethnic cleansing.”

It gets Stan to call his Dad out saying, “We all get your point, but don’t you think you’re overdoing it?”

To which Randy responds, “You have to overdo it in today’s society, Stan. You can’t be nuanced and subtle anymore or else critics go, ‘Wow, what was the point of all that?'”

While Stan and the kids try to find a way to get their day off from school back, they discover there are several photos on the internet of Randy dressed as Christopher Columbus at different public functions, including Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, and at a football game.

Randy dismisses the accusations saying he was “younger” and that “everyone was stoked on Columbus back [in 2013].”


Thinking he’ll be exposed as a fraud, a discouraged Randy gives up, until an ad for “DNA and Me” plays while watching television.

In order to show that he can claim Native American victimhood, Randy pays a Native American man $100 to French kiss him. He then takes the DNA mouth swab test. It later reveals he’s a mix of Northern European, Meditteranean, and Southwest Asian, which closely matches the standard Caucasian British person. However, the test revealed that he’s 2.8 percent Neanderthal, which is higher than average.

Randy learns that Neanderthals were a species that was wiped out by Homo sapiens.

“Wiped out? All of my people?” Randy asks.

“Yes, but, you see, because of some cross-breeding some people like you possess Neanderthal DNA. Isn’t that interesting?” The DNA and Me rep responds.

Randy, discovering that he’s now a victim of oppression from Homo sapiens, begins to flips out.

“Cross-breeding? You mean rape. You’re telling me that my ancestors were raped and then...

U.S. born Muslims more hostile to America

The source is one of those Pew writeups that is 99 percent spin and 1 percent statistics. I’ll skip on quoting much of it, because it’s largely concerned with promoting claims of Muslim victimhood. But it does show a pattern.

The common pattern in America and Europe is that Muslim settlers born in the host country are actually more negatively disposed to the country than their immigrant parents.

European defenders usually put this down to the classic “failure to integrate.” And their American cousins insisted that we wouldn’t have “no go zones” because we didn’t have that problem. Except it turns out that second-generation immigrants are more likely to have issues with us.

Indeed, just three-in-ten U.S.-born Muslims say the American people are friendly toward Muslim Americans, compared to 73% of immigrants who feel this way.

And U.S.-born Muslims are more likely than their immigrant counterparts to say there is discrimination against Muslims, and to say they have personally experienced at least one of several specific types of discrimination, such as people acting suspicious of them or calling them offensive names, being singled out by airport security or by some other law enforcement, or being physically attacked or threatened.

Nine-in-ten (91%) U.S.-born Muslims say there is a lot of discrimination against Muslims, compared with 65% of immigrants who say this. And six-in-ten U.S.-born Muslims (61%) say that in the past 12 months they have experienced...
