The Lastest Reason to Wish For MSNBC to Fail Miserably

If anyone needed to finally understand why Comcast needs to dump MSNBC from its stable of owned media properties, this is it.

 

Social media users tore into MSNBC.com this week after it published a remarkable headline saying that "Laken Riley’s killer never stood a chance."

Rather than find sympathy for the Mom who lost her child, the friends and family her lost a loved one, certain bleeding-heart sycophants from that disgraceful entity labeled a news channel, wants us to feel bad for Lake Riley's killer. To those scumbums I say, feck you.

Fox News is reporting all the wailing for the punishment meted out to Jose Ibarra. “For the defense, this was a hopeless case. The defense did the best it could with bad facts. It almost surely knew it was going to lose," MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos wrote.

You know what? You should be quiet, knowing he will not be deported or will not be put to death. Ulike what this bastard did to Laken Riley.

So just sit down. shut up and don’t say another word.

The Day and Weekend America Was Changed Forever

I drew a blank trying to decide what I should comment about this morning. We all saw what happened with all the news yesterday, both domestic and foreign, and as I told a friend recently when she asked how I come to my topics, I said it has to be interesting to me.

 

Between last night and this morning, I searched all the news apps on my phone and found it all uninspiring.

But then, my commentaries from this day in 2013 and 2015 were in my Facebook page as memories, and suddenly I found my topic. I am sharing them with you here.

They caused me to think about this day in 1963, as a twelve-year-old boy, in seventh grade, living a life with very few issues, other than family, friends, school and church which affected all of us at that time. We were innocent as youngsters, dealing with those issues which mattered most to us.

Suddenly, that innocence was gone, as we all realized our lives were irrevocably changed forever. And instinctively as that day drew to a close, we witnessed the change in our country, as television showed our innocence was lost forever over that terrible weekend.

It rained that Saturday, and we felt the heavens were crying tears of sorrow as we sat glued to the images being displayed to us from our nation’s capital. We wept along with those trying mightily to show strength in adversity, and failed only because they were human.

On Sunday, the day started out better, only because it was a sunny morning. The air was clean and brisk, a typical fall day, as I walked home after serving Mass at my local church.

The priest asked us to say a prayer in memory of our fallen President, and from the altar, all you could here the silence broken only by the sounds of a packed church of two hundred or so people crying as one.

Then we had our Sunday breakfast destroyed by the vision we witnessed from our television. The assassin of our young President was assassinated on live television, with no chance to alter what we just saw.

From that moment, we all knew that Justice would never be served.

We are now adults, and have lived on in a country which was changed that day and that weekend. We know that the America we knew in November, 1963 is gone.

And we are worse off because a man died on November 22, 1963 and America lost its innocence forever. And sadly, so did we.

Biden Turns His Back on His Oath and His Promises

In the wake and quake of Donald Trump's victory two weeks ago, and the promise by President Biden last week to assure a smooth transition, two major events took place which guarantees anything but: The authorization to allow Ukraine to use American ATCMS weapons in its war with Russia; and the clandestine sneaking of additional Illegals into New York without a trace.

 

In the first circumstance, it is being reported that this initial permission and use of our weaponry has caused Russia to respond with nuclear-capable ICBMs against Ukraine AND Germany mobilizing 800,000 troops should Russia attack any NATO country. Does this look or sound familiar?

Can you say Guns of August? It was a book which detailed the steps taken by the Central Powers leading to WWI, published in 1962.

Oh, yes. That was the year the Cuban Missle Crisis almost led to WWIII. And voila! History repeats yet again.

Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail again, as we found out because JFK was not a macho man hothead.

The second circumstance is intended to put legal roadblocks to slow down Trump’s efforts to remove illegal immigrants from our country.

The outgoing administration intends to launch an ICE Portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office.

Knowing this was a main causation of Americans to vote against the corrupt Biden-Harris-Mayorkas regime’s disregard for our borders and national sovereignty, they decided to implement another hateful, anti-America policy. It actually borders on the infidelity of their oaths to preserve, protect and defend the United States.

Trump will issue executive orders to stop this. Sympathizers will take it all to court, as they do everything he does, but he will prevail.

People need to rise up and make the last seven weeks truly difficult for Biden and his goons to do any more damage until they are finally gone from office.

Watching the Wheels Come Off the Celebrity-Journalists

The New York Post reported some interesting news. Comcast saw the ratings book for the last three months and decided it was time to cut bait. But the executives, being the product of wokeness, could not single cut any one particular division.

 

So they cut CNBC, USA Network, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and the Golf Channel, all of which have niche audiences, but don’t have inordinately high revenue streams.

But the big loser is MSNBC, which was created by Microsoft and NBC in 1996 to leverage the growing power of the internet by launching a cable news channel with a strong online presence. 

Over the years, the mission statement was abandoned and MSNBC became a radical, left-wing, hate-mongering machine, using NBC’s massive resources.

Meanwhile, NBC News, NBC Sports, Telemundo, streaming service Peacock and Bravo will remain under the NBC Universal umbrella.

Now, panic is setting in to the celebrities who call themselves journalists because they may be cut off from the assets of NBC News. Then they would have to work for a living.

And if these brands are all losing money now, how will SpinCo, the newly-created parent company, make money in the future? Will their investors at SpinCo make a profit?

The Comcast executives are making that claim, but there really is no basis to blindly accept that as gospel. There is, after all, no track record anyone can point at to make it true.

Presently, all these companies reside at or near 30 Rockefeller Center, between Fifth Avenue and Avenue of the Americas, and between West 49th and West 50th Streets in the heart of Midtown Manhattan in New York City. They probably will be relocated elsewhere in the City. And MSNBC will probably be forced to change its name. And the same for CNBC.

Comcast expects the spin-offs and parent of all the brands to close in about one year (ie, before the end of 2025), contingent on obtaining final approval from Comcast's board of directors as well as “satisfactory completion of SpinCo financing, receipt of tax opinions and receipt of any regulatory approvals,” the company said.

So hang on, friends. It WILL BE a wild ride. Most acquisitions are.

But this time, the celebrity-journalists will be telling their tale of woe. For all the world to see and hear nightly.

With their own unique way of “story-telling”.

No Justice For Laken Riley

Was justice for Laken Riley served today? It is hard to say.

 

Jose Ibarra was found guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. But he did not show remorse; he did not show regret; he did not express empathy nor sympathy.

Instead, he showed indifference and coldness, a cruel soul and a cold heart. And hate.

He had no feeling for the family and friends of Laken sitting in the gallery. For her Mom, who was sobbing for having lost her child. Her Dad and Step-Dad. Her sister. Her friends.

He was a criminal BEFORE he illegally came into this country. Because the Biden-Harris-Mayorkas regime chose to IGNORE our laws.

And he committed crimes in a SANCTUARY CITY before he traveled to Georgia and acted with malice to kill an innocent person. Someone’s child, sister, friend.

His attorney will appeal, of course. And hopefully, he will lose.

 In the meantime, Ibarra will be in prison, beginning his sentence, getting his three daily squares, free medical as needed, exercise, TV and entertainment, at the State of Georgia taxpayers’ expense, courtesy of Biden and his goons.

All while Laken Riley will continue to not live, and her Mom and loved ones will continue to grieve.

Justice will only be served for Laken Riley when we finally stop the illegal and wanton border crossings by those who come here brazenly and commit crimes against our citizens.

So, no justice for Laken Riley, today.

The Hypocrisy of a Certain World Leader

It is a funny thing about international hypocrisy. Every world leader is guilty of it .

 

Vladimir Putin is “indignant” because President Biden authorized the use of ATACMS in Ukraine's war with Russia. And of course, Ukraine immediately used them.

This prompted Putin's response to change his nation's nuclear response policy. Oh the indignity! The horror!

But wait! He is guilty of the same action against Israel by furnishing weapons to Hezbollah. Yes, folks. He is claiming his national status has been violated as he is clandestinely violating Israel’s national interest.

How do we know this? Well, it was reported by Newsmax and The Wall Street Journal that the IDF found caches of Russian weapons in Hezbollah stash sites. In Lebanon.

Russian weapon systems found in Lebanon include not just the modern Kornet, but also other guided anti-tank missiles like Metis, Konkors, Fagots, and Saggers. And they are not old, out of date weapons.

While Russia may have sold them to its ally, Syria, or so Russia is claiming, nevertheless, Hezbollah is now in possession of them.

Putin is trying to say his hands are clean. But, like Biden, they aren’t, Vlad.

So, knock off the nuclear bluster and get busy to resolve the conflict you have with Zelensky. It will show the world you are a diplomat, rather than a bully.

There is a new cop in town and he WILL make you see the light in less than eight weeks.
