CNN Chief Legal Analyst Masturbates During Video Chat With Colleagues

Posted on | October 19, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

Harvard Law alumnus Jeffrey Toobin:

The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week. Toobin says he did not realize his video was on.
“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers,” Toobin told Motherboard.
“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added. . . .
[Two witnesses who were in the Zoom session] both said that they saw Toobin jerking off. The two sources described a juncture in the election simulation when there was a strategy session, and the Democrats and Republicans went into their respective break out rooms for about 10 minutes. At this point, they said, it seemed like Toobin was on a second video call. The sources said that when the groups returned from their break out rooms, Toobin lowered the camera. The people on the call said they could see Toobin touching his penis. Toobin then left the call. Moments later, he called back in, seemingly unaware of what his colleagues had been able to see, and the simulation continued.

Notice that Toobin does not apologize for masturbating during what was supposed to be a work session; rather, he apologizes that he accidentally forgot that his video camera was still connected. Everybody knows that Toobin is a disgusting pervert. He impregnated his “friend” Jeff Greenfield’s daughter, tried to force her into an abortion, and then denied paternity until a court-ordered DNA test proved it. Now get this:

A spokesperson for CNN said “Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted.”

Oh, he “asked for some time off.” Seems like he’s had too much time on his hands lately. And that ain’t all he’s got on his hands . . .

Can Joe Biden Really Win This Way?

Posted on | October 19, 2020 | 3 Comments

As campaign strategy, does this even make sense?

Joe Biden is still refusing to discuss an exposé by the New York Post alleging the former vice president’s youngest son, Hunter, leveraged his ties to the Obama administration for the benefit of a Ukrainian natural gas conglomerate.
The Democrat nominee, who has long struggled to explain his son’s overseas business deals, was asked about the story during a campaign swing through North Carolina on Sunday. Biden, in particular, was asked by a reporter if he had any comment about revelations that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had seized Hunter’s laptop last year via subpoena.
Video of Biden’s encounter, which was shared on social media by President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, shows that the Democrat nominee refused to even listen to the reporter’s question, opting to walk away as soon as the reporter mentions the word “FBI.”

Never in my life have I witnessed anything quite like this. The Biden campaign announced that Biden would be in seclusion until Thursday, when he is scheduled for the next debate with President Trump. So they’re taking the candidate off the campaign trail for four full days. Meanwhile, Trump is doing multiple rallies every day — with massive crowds of thousands — and yet, we’re told, Biden is ahead in every poll:

If you believe the media, Joe Biden is heading toward a landslide of such historic proportions that even Texas may tip into the Democrat’s column. Of course, no intelligent person actually believes this, but the propaganda organs of our national media are so devoted to Team Joe that the possibility of turning Texas “blue” continues to be the subject of allegedly serious reporting.
A well-informed source in Texas tells me GOP internal polls show a tighter-than-usual contest there, and Democrats are bombarding young Texans with get-out-the-vote text messages, but this is a state Trump won with a comfortable margin of more than 800,000 votes in 2016. Nevertheless, the media are dreaming the impossible dream. The Washington Post’s Dan Balz, for example, expended some 1,500 words exploring the scenario of a “Biden upset” in Texas driven by “a huge Democratic surge” in a state that no Democrat has won since 1976. . . .

Ralph Z. Hallow, R.I.P.

Posted on | October 18, 2020 | Comments Off on Ralph Z. Hallow, R.I.P.

Having worked with many colorful figures over the years, I can confidently say none was more colorful than Ralph Z. Hallow, the veteran political correspondent who died Saturday at age 82.

In his youth, Ralph was a member of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and could tell all kinds of stories about Sixties radicals, but by the time I met him — when I joined the staff of The Washington Times in 1997 — he was already a legend in the D.C. press corps. George H.W. Bush famously called Ralph a “horrible fellow,” basically because Ralph wouldn’t let Bush off the hook on his broken promises.

Ralph always dressed colorfully — his ties, his shirts, his pocket squares — in the old-school style that was also preferred by our late editor Wes Pruden, and he and his wife, longtime NRA executive Millie Hallow, threw legendary Christmas parties at their home. You’d see all kinds of famous people from politics and journalism at these parties, and once we had a gigantic singalong with Ralph’s stepson Ian Walters on piano, me on guitar, and talk-radio host Blanquita Cullum leading the whole crowd to the tune of “La Bamba.” But I digress . . .

Ralph had sources like no journalist in the world ever had sources. He was on a first-name basis with every influential conservative you’d care to name, and he could dial up Newt Gingrich or Grover Norquist as casually as you might call your own brother. After a couple of years at the Times, I became Ralph’s more-or-less permanent editor, which could be a challenging task because Ralph would sometimes “file his notes,” as we used to say, and it was my job to translate this into English.

How it usually went was this way: After the noon editorial meeting, managing editor Fran Coombs would call me into his office and tell me that Ralph’s proposed story had a chance at Page One if the story matched what Ralph had promised in his “tout” (the one-paragraph thumbnail summary that reporters sent in for the noon meeting). This meant that by the 4 p.m. meeting, the story needed to be close enough to a finished product that the editors could greenlight it for A1. Fran would give me notes saying to “make sure he gets” such-and-so an element into the story to “back up the lead.” The challenge was often to get an on-the-record quote from a named source saying what Ralph knew to be true, but which nobody wanted to put their name on. You’d hear him on the phone arguing with a source — an RNC member, a congressman, a former cabinet secretary — about the exact wording of a quote that the source was willing to have attributed to him.

Oh, they don’t make ’em like Ralph anymore. It was a pleasure to know him and work with him, and he will be missed. R.I.P., sir.

‘Allahu Akbar’: Muslim Immigrant Decapitates French Teacher

Posted on | October 17, 2020 | 1 Comment

The Religion of Peace™ strikes again:

A history teacher who had shown caricatures of Islam’s Prophet Muhammed in class was on Friday decapitated and his assailant shot dead by French police as they tried to arrest him, police and prosecutors said.
The attacker shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he was confronted by police, a police source said. The Muslim phrase, meaning “God is Great,” has often been heard in jihadist attacks.
The suspect’s identity was not made public. French media reported that the suspect was an 18-year-old Chechen, born in Moscow. That information could not be immediately confirmed.
French President Emmanuel Macron called the beheading an “Islamist terrorist attack.” . . .
French anti-terror prosecutors said they were investigating the assault which happened on the outskirts of Paris at around 5 p.m. (1500 GMT) near a school in Conflans Saint-Honorine, a western suburb of the French capital.

(Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.)

Notice that when “right-wing” or “white supremacist” violence occurs, the motive becomes the most important thing about the story, and every politician is expected to denounce the motive, per se. By contrast, when violence is perpetrated by left-wing extremists, by Muslims, or by any protected minority group, the media will never generalize these crimes as representing the collective sentiment of a group, nor is there any political pressure to denounce the attacker’s motive.

In fact, the media will often times bend over backward to humanize terrorists who fit a favored political or ethnic profile, with the suggestion that their motives are legitimate grievances. The media feels compelled to depict certain terrorists (e.g., Dzhokhar Tsarnaev) as sympathetic figures because, they fear, an unsympathetic portrayal of such figures might inspire “backlash” against whatever group the attacker represents. Obversely, when the accused terrorist is white and can plausibly be shown to have a “right-wing” motive, not only is the perpetrator (e.g., Dylann Roof) depicted without sympathy, but the media employ broad-brush smear tactics to imply that similarly hateful sentiments are widespread among white people, and that every vaguely “right-wing” public figure is somehow complicit in the atrocity. The rationale of news coverage in such cases is to inspire prejudice against conservatives, and particularly to incite fear that further “right-wing” violence is likely, requiring renewed efforts to “educate” the ignorant masses.

Can Savannah Guthrie Prove Democrats Are NOT a Satanic Pedophile Ring?

Posted on | October 16, 2020 | 2 Comments

 

Has anyone asked Joe Biden whether he’s against pedophilia? Do you think it’s a coincidence the media haven’t asked him about this?

SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: While we’re denouncing, let me ask you about QAnon. It is this theory that Democrats are a satanic pedophile ring, and that you are the savior of that. Now, can you just once and for all state that that is completely not true?
DONALD TRUMP: So–
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: Can you disavow QAnon in its entirety?
DONALD TRUMP: I know nothing about QAnon.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: I just told you.
DONALD TRUMP: I know very little– you told me, but what you tell me doesn’t necessarily make it fact. I hate to say that. I know nothing about it. I do know they are very much against pedophilia, they fight it very hard. But I know nothing about it.

Why is it that only Trump is ever asked to denounce stuff like this? All kinds of crazy ideas are rampant among Joe Biden’s supporters, but because the media are all Democrats, Biden is never asked to repudiate various toxic elements of the Democratic Party constituency.

While I haven’t paid much attention to QAnon, my understanding is that they were rather more specific in their accusations. In particular, they named former Hillary Clinton campaign adviser John Podesta as being implicated in a sex-trafficking conspiracy. That’s where the Comet Ping Pong angle arose, and if you will recall, this “PizzaGate” theory was not only inspired by the hacking of Podesta’s emails, but also by the fact — not a theory, but a fact — that Clinton aide Huma Abedin was married to ex-congressman Anthony Weiner. In September 2016, it was learned that Weiner had been “sexting” with a 15-year-old North Carolina girl.

The FBI’s seizure of Weiner’s laptop led to the discovery of evidence relevant to Hillary’s email scandal. So the idea that Democrats are hiding pedophilia-related secrets is not really so far-fetched, is it?

What else might lend credibility to QAnon? Well, there’s the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, and the sinister activities of Hollywood pedophiles, among other things. There is clear evidence of the Epstein-Clinton connection, and everybody knows Hollywood is a Democrat-controlled town, so there are plenty of dots there that might seem connected.

And can we talk about Creepy Uncle Joe?

 

Look, I can’t prove that Joe Biden is part of a Satanic Pedophile Ring. On the other hand, Savannah Guthrie can’t prove he’s not.
