During a discussion on The Five about President Joe Biden’s ailing reelection campaign, Gutfeld said, “I think you’re starting to see the realization that things aren’t going well. You’re seeing the doubts in the media, Fareed Zakaria, the frantic stares in the media, the blame-throwing.” He mocked, “They’re like on a lifeboat that’s run out of food and they’re starting to eye each other suspiciously, and yet they’re so close to land. Yet that land is called MAGA country, but their egos won’t let them swim to shore. They’d rather go down in the boat in the Never Trump ocean than find joy and pleasure in MAGA country.” (Media-Ite 5/13/24) READ MORE>>>>> Laura Ingraham Asks Eric Trump Why His Father Retained ‘Jughead’ Michael Cohen: ‘How Did He Ever Get Hired?’ An incredulous Laura Ingraham asked Eric Trump on Monday night why his father hired Michael Cohen as his attorney. Hours earlier, Cohen testified about his time as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. The former president is on trial in Manhattan, where he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Cohen ultimately pleaded guilty to his role in paying the hush money – and other crimes before being sentenced to federal prison. (Media-Ite 5/13/24) READ MORE>>>>> |

That dog don't hunt: Right-wing media say Kristi Noem’s vice presidential dreams are dead
Within two weeks, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem went from a potential GOP vice presidential nominee to a pariah among right-wing media. First, it was reported that her autobiography proudly tells of the time she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog Cricket, and then that there was no record of her alleged meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, also recounted in the book -- until it was removed after several painfully awkward interviews on the topic. The typical response for a self-immolating conservative is a tour of friendly right-wing media outlets. But for Noem, even this is going poorly, with various on-air clashes and missed off-ramps, even though the most obsequious of hosts tried to walk her through the storm. Her book tour, now canceled, devolved into a circus of disastrous appearances in both mainstream and right-wing media.

“When you’re telling the world you’re going to restrict weapons delivery to the Jewish state, who is fighting a war for their survival, it emboldens Iran,” Graham replied. “It emboldens Hamas. [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar is probably juiced up on the idea. There’s daylight between the United States and Israel. The hostage deal is harder. This is the worst decision in the history of the US-Israel relationship to deny weapons at a time the Jewish state could be destroyed.” |

On Meet the Press on Sunday, Mediaite reports, Welker asked Graham why he objects to Biden's decision when Ronald Reagan threatened to withhold arms shipments to put pressure on Israel. “President Biden is not the first president to use arms shipments to try to influence Israeli policy,” Welker said. “As you know, former President Ronald Reagan on multiple occasions withheld weapons to impact Israel’s military actions. Did President Reagan show that using U.S. military aid as leverage can actually be an effective way to rein in and impact Israel’s policy?” (Radar Online 5/12/24) READ MORE>>>>> |

Fox News' Laura Ingraham mocked for lacking 'self awareness' over latest Biden accusation
Fox News' Laura Ingraham held a segment on Friday evening that took aim squarely at President Joe Biden — but her core complaint with him raised immediate eyebrows.Biden, she thundered, is "a man who thought an endless stream of made-up, folksy anecdotes were enough to hide the fact that he believed in nothing — nothing at all — except building his own brand to help his family get rich." Commenters on social media had a field day with Ingraham's description of Biden, with many pointing out that "building his own brand to help his family get rich" is one of the main activities former President Donald Trump is infamous for, both throughout his presidency and beyond it. The former president used his own brand to vastly — and fraudulently — inflate the value of Trump Organization properties, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner has been implicated in a number of overseas deals for personal profit leveraged from his time working in the Trump White House.

Charlie Kirk: “Jews are experiencing the hate that we white people have been experiencing the last decade”
This is a wake up call for many Jews. And I have sympathy for American Jews that are very confused. However, I have impatience for American Jews that have put up with the anti-white sentiments the last decade and thought it was perfectly fine. Because guess what, American Jews? You're considered white in the eyes of the Marxists. What? I thought white meant, like, MAGA Christian people in Oklahoma. No. White means you too. Welcome to the most hated class in America today. And Jews are like, wait, I never thought I was white. I don't identify as white. We're Jewish. You don't get to determine the rules. Many American Jews are shocked that the organizations and the charities that they have been subsidizing want them dead. This is cut 67. I think this is illegal where they are forbidding Jewish students from going to class, that Jewish kids are being physically prevented from going to class.
