ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) and NBC’s Today eagerly touted in faux serious tones early Friday a new front in the left’s war to delegitimize, shame, and even attempt to remove conservative judges as The New York Times published a screeching story about an upside down flag flying at the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in January 2021. Liberal journalist Jodi Kantor typed this up on behalf of the liberal Borg and even appeared in the GMA segment, arguing Alito signed with the flag he’s a far-right conspiracy theorist.     “We turn now to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito under fire after The New York Times published a picture of an upside down flag flown outside his home in 2021 just days after the January 6 riot,” fill-in co-host Rebecca Jarvis began. Longtime Supreme Court correspondent Terry Moran was in need of a fainting couch as he huffed Alito’s been “no stranger to controversy” with this new story “stunning and unprecedented”. “Flying the flag upside down is meant to be a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger, according to the U.S. flag code. It’s also been used as a symbol of protest...and, after the 2020 election, some of Donald Trump supporters adopted the upside down flag to object to Biden’s victory,” he added. Moran also pointed to Kantor having obtained e-mails from fellow leftist quacks — aka Alito’s neighbors — whining “the flag was flying for multiple days” and were concerned about this “political statement”. On-screen, Kantor made this seem like a national scandal: “They were incredulous because one of the bedrock rules of being a federal judge is that you’re not supposed to take part in politics.” Moran only briefly focused on Alito’s denial to Kantor: “I had no involvement whatsoever. It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.” Earth to Terry and Jodi: What signs did Alito’s neighbors have? To what degree did they harass the Alitos? Heck, what’s the political stance of Alito’s neighborhood? And does Brett Kavanaugh and the man who wanted to assassinate him and his family Nicholas Roske jog your memories? Moran also falsely accused Alito of being somehow unprecedented in being political and also lied about Alito “heckl[ing]” Barack Obama in 2010 (when he only mouthed displeasure and thus no Joe Wilson) (click “expand”): MORAN: Justice Alito has a history of stirring political controversy, unusual for Supreme Court justices. The author of decisions that overturned Roe vs. Wade, he mocked criticism of the ruling that ended a federal right to abortion. ALITO: I had the honor this term of writing, I think, the only Supreme Court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders. [CROWD LAUGHTER] MORAN: And Alito famously heckled President Obama at the 2010 State of the Union when Obama criticized the court’s Citizens United campaign finance decision. Alito calling out, “not true,” at Obama. And one possible concern about that upside down flag at Alito’s house, there are still cases before this Court stemming from January 6, including former President Trump’s claims of absolute immunity for his actions at that time. And one more thing: There has been no statement from Mrs. Alito, whom Justice Alito blames for the incident.  All told, that segment was a whopping three minutes and 30 seconds. Meanwhile, NBC’s Today had a 52-second news brief via co-host Hoda Kotb that she too tried to make into an affront to humanity: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is responding this morning to a report in The New York Times that, in 2021, he had an American flag hanging upside down outside of his home.” Kotb continued by noting “this was the photo taken on January 17, 2021” and “[t]he upside down flag was a symbol associated with former President Trump’s false claims of election fraud.” Along with reading the statement Alito gave to The Times, Kotb proclaimed all this has “rais[ed] concerns” — by whom, she wouldn’t say — “about Alito’s impartiality”. Like with Justice Clarence Thomas, the liberal media will stop at nothing to either force out or remove Alito, Thomas, and any other jurist who doesn’t kowtow to a certain ideology. As we’ve seen when leftist freaks have plopped themselves outside the homes of right-leaning justice, the liberal media have little regard for the children, spouses, and loved ones of the justices.

CBS’s late night comedy game show After Midnight went off rails on Thursday as host Taylor Tomlinson and her fellow comedian guests yucked it up with some cheap anti-Jesus and “Jesus was gay” laughs. Tomlinson set up the round by introducing a TikTok video, “Life is full of surprises. As M. Night Shamalayan once said, 'Never let them know your next move.' This is exemplified in this TikTok from @julianprospers where he asks a stranger about his relationship status.”     The video showed the following discussion: MAN: We've been on and off for, like, 10, 15 years, maybe, but got really serious the past few months. JULIAN PROSPERS: So, is this a woman that you think that it’s not a— MAN: It's not a woman. PROSPERS: It’s not a woman. MAN: No. PROSPERS: It's a man.  MAN: Yeah. PROSPERS: So you're gay. MAN: No, no, it's our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, brother. Tomlinson replied, “I don't want to be cynical, but I was once in a relationship with Jesus Christ, and it didn't work out long-term. It's not Him, it's me. Let's save this TikTok guy some heartache. As Jesus, break up with this guy.” Jay Jurden buzzed in first, “I'm sorry, my dad kind of hates gay people. Have you seen the signs?” Next was Todd Barry, “I have to break out with you. You've never been really good about texting back.” Finally, there was Bassem Youssef, who, when he’s not on After Midnight, is on CNN and PBS telling allegedly serious journalists that Israel needs “to go F itself.” Now, Youssef feigned political correctness, “I don't know if I can actually touch this because whatever I would say would be blasphemous. Also, I didn't know that Jesus was gay. Oh, [bleep].” Jurden then returned to add, “Man shall not live by [bleep] alone. Was that too far?” and Youssef tacked on, “Oh, can I do one more? Can I do one more?” While it got lost in Tomlinson’s many guffaws, Prospers appears to be someone who believes in using social media to spread his faith. As evident by his video description, the video was a skit about people refusing to commit to Christ, not a genuine man on the street interview with a stranger as Tomlinson portrayed. People can judge for themselves if it hit the comedic sweet spot or not, but After Midnight definitely didn’t. Here is a transcript for the May 16-taped show: CBS After Midnight 5/17/2024 12:41 AM ET TAYLOR TOMLINSON: Life is full of surprises. As M.

A Mexican national was arrested last week by authorities in California for allegedly trafficking a 17-year-old girl into the United States, KTLA reported.The suspect was captured after the teen acquired a cell phone and used it to text 911. The girl, who only spoke Spanish and was unaware of her location, described key landmarks and other identifiable information to law enforcement. Authorities were able to use the information to locate and rescue her within approximately 20 minutes.The Ventura County Sheriff's Office reported, "In the early morning hours of May 9th, deputies working the Ojai Sheriff's Sub-Station rescued a female human trafficking victim who had text '911' to the Ventura County Sheriff's Communication Center."'Relatively new technology.'The teenager was located in Casitas Springs and had been trafficked out of Mexico two months ago, the sheriff's office said. After being rescued from the captor, the girl was transported to the county's Child Family Services until she can be reunited with her family. The suspect, 31-year-old Gerardo Cruz from Veracruz, Mexico, was taken into custody. He is facing multiple charges, including human trafficking, forcible rape, and lewd acts upon a child, as well as luring and sexual penetration with force, according to the sheriff's office.

President Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley Biden has confirmed that her diary was real, years after the mainstream media claimed the diary was simply a conspiracy. “Being a conservative since COVID has just been incredible, because you keep getting called a conspiracy theorist, everything you say, you’re a far right-wing nut job,” Sara Gonzales says, adding, “and then all of what you’re saying ends up being admitted to as true years later.” Previously, Snopes had the Ashley Biden diary story marked as “Unproven,” but it has since changed it to being “True.” Ashley had written in her diary that she had taken showers with her dad when she was too young, felt it was inappropriate, and wrote to herself, “Was I molested? I think so.” Gonzales notes that his recent behavior as president, where he sniffs young children pretty openly, is not appropriate either. “Not just sniffing. Touching, grabbing shoulders, pulling them in,” Jaco Booyens says. “Remember little, little, little, little, little Jeff Sessions? Tiny Jeff Sessions, right? Jumping in front of Joe Biden and Jeff Sessions’ granddaughter when Joe Biden on the Senate floor is going in to go sniff.” “Everybody knows it,” he adds. “His own daughter is saying, ‘Yeah, weird behavior.’” Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred take to news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub responded to and denied several claims Ronda Rousey made about him in her book.Rousey's claims come from a leaked excerpt of the book "Our Fight," which were posted to Reddit, and described her feelings about her ex-boyfriend Schaub and current husband, Travis Browne, fighting each other at UFC 181 in 2014.Rousey claimed that Schaub "thrived on playing f***ed-up mind games" with her during their relationship, especially when she "had a fight coming up." Schaub responded to the claim, saying that by "mind games" Rousey might be referring to him simply not being in touch with her."When she says mind games, no it's not mind games, the mind games came from, in all honesty, her camp," Schaub said on his podcast "Fighter and the Kid.""I have nothing to do with that. Mind games? I guess that would mean ... it wasn't a match," he explained, saying the two were not meant to be a couple.Schaub then disputed more of Rousey's claims about what happened during his fight with Browne, specifically the ending."When Travis knocked him out at the end of the first round, I didn't think it could get any more gratifying," the excerpt from Rousey read, as narrated on the podcast by cohost Bryan Callen."TKO, to be fair. Ground and pound. First lie," Schaub interjected.Callen continued to read:"My ex covered up on the ground while Travis pounded away on him. The referee waved the match over. Then Travis, towering over the crumpled, semi-conscious body of my ex, leaned down and whispered something in his ear."Schaub rebuffed:"I wasn't unconscious and also wasn't crumpled. I was in downward dog, okay ... I was fully conscious," 'The difference is if I wrote a book she would not be in my book. That's not an event in my life that I would put in a book.'Producer Chin on @FighterNtheKid broke some news during the show. Apparently my name was mentioned in a book ??♂️ pic.twitter.com/b9BHUp2PDS— Brendan Schaub (@BrendanSchaub) May 16, 2024 Callen then read Rousey's last claim about Schaub, which was as follows:"His words were indiscernible to the camera, but I swore I could hear Travis' voice saying, 'Ronda says f*** you,'" Rousey recalled in the book."That never happened. ... I don't think he said 'Ronda says f*** you,'" Schaub immediately stated. "Didn't he come to your dressing room and say I'm glad you're okay?" Callen asked."In the back, yeah. He's cool. I have no issues with him," Schaub said about Browne."But why bring it up 14 years later? I mean, she has kids and it obviously worked out [for her] and like, it’s just life," Schaub added.The former UFC heavyweight explained that while he wasn't trying to disrespect Rousey, he wasn't sure why he was included in her book. He then said that she would not be included in his own."The difference is if I wrote a book she would not be in my book. That's not an event in my life that I would put in a book.""I'm flattered, I guess?" Schaub later added.Schaub partially defended Rousey's comments that the MMA media, including Joe Rogan, turned its back on her. Rousey called media figures fakes and "a bunch of a**holes" in other interviews about her book."The way the media treats her, I think, is not fair, but some of it's justified by the way she treated the media [and] some of the comments she's made," Schaub claimed. He continued to praise Rousey and said he was a big fan of her personality and work ethic, then cited her breaking barriers for women in mixed martial arts."People forget what she did for women's MMA, and there would be no female MMA fighters if it wasn't for Ronda."Like Blaze News?
